BETTING ON ROOSEVELT.
Three to One Offered on Roosevelt's
election in Wall Street.

Helena Record: Even the bankers
and brokers OF New York city, who
were the backbone of parker's sup
port for the Democratic nomination
at St. Louis, are Offering odds oil three
10 one in favor of the election of
President Roosevelt.
This does not look encouraging for
Democratic success. While these men
are anxious TO bring about the defeat
Of the president. they know that such
a result is practically out of the ques-
ton. and therefore they are trying to
recoup some OF the money they are
already out OF pocket on the Parker
candidacy by making large wagers al
odds of three 10 one on what they
seem to regard as a sure thing.
There is no patriotism in Wall
street. Everything us measured by
dollars and cents. They look upon
an election, national, state or munic.
ipal in the same way that they regard
a rise or fall in stocks. It is simply
a matter Of business. nothing more,
nothing less.
Wagers are made on their deliber.
ate judgment and without any refer.
ence to their preferences or their de.
sires. When the New York gamblers
who put in the greater portion of
their time betting oil the rise or fall
in stocks are willing to venture their
money at large odds on the election
of President Roosevelt, it is not be-
cause they love him, but it is simply
because they expect to win money
that way.
The favorite candidate of Wall
street, next to Grover Cleveland, has
been nominated by the Democratic
national convention, but even Wall
street has no confidence in his cleo,
ton, and is offering large odds against
it. II those who were the chief spon-
sers of Parker's candidacy have al
ready practically given up the contest
what may be expected from the west
ern portion of the country, which has
always been opposed to him and the
influences for which he stands in ma
tional politics?

ment later comes a shrek, flood of
tears and a stream of angry words.
Without any formal declaration of war
a state of war exists and perhaps the
entire stake concerns the possession of
poor little rag doll or a top. Here
are two schoolboys suddenly squaring
off and rushing with clenched fists at
one another, while the cry of Fight!
fight" rings across the playground and
a crowd of interested spectators is COL
lected in a jiffy. Here are capital and
labor in a thousand smaller or larger
contests seeking the one to get the bet
ter of the other, often fighting out
their antagonisms to the bitter end.
Thus the warning instinct dominates
mankind and when Russia and Japan
or when Turkey and Bulgaria marshal
their forces and try conclusions we are
to study the conflict in the light of
what we know Of the passionate, pu-
gilistic tendencies of imperfect hui

And vet we must take heart as we
see the growth of the peace sentiment
throughout the world. Warfare and

North American continent. To-day

great Secretaries of State. like Mr..
Hay, seek assiduously not only to pre-
vent their own nations from becoming
embroiled, but to limit the area and
shorten the time Of strife between
other nations. Moreover. the costli-
ness of armament and the deadliness
of warfare are themselves great deter
rents. And we have, too, a body of
earnest, persistent men who through
peace congresses. and arbitration con-
ferences are exerting an influence
which has already brought about the
ratification of important arbitration
treaties and is bound to tell more in
the future.
And you and can help. too. How?
BY cultivating in ourselves and others
the two great qualities which conserve
peace. One is self-control. The man
who has tanned his own passions, the
nation which holds itself with quiet
dignity, which avoids giving the first
blow even In the face of provocation,
which is scrupulous toward weaker
peoples-that man and that nation
help powerfully In keeping the peace
of the community and the peace
of the world The other restraining
quality is goodwill. The nation that
cares most to get land and wealth is
likely to be drawn into all sorts of
feuds and fuses. but the nation that
looks upon itself as steward Of bless
ings for other peoples, that wants to
serve and exploit the backward and
depressed peoples Of the earth will
never have any part in any but
righteous wars. THE PARSON.

" HAT war should be going on at
any time in any part of the earth
is a great sorrow to right-minded
persons. To be sure, we soon get
- used to the scare headlines and
as the initial shock Of armies and
navies gives way to a long series of
alternating reports of victories and de-
feats our sensibilities become a little
dulled. But the moment we stop to
reflect on the enormity of war
lization, in this year of the Chris
tan era, IL rests as a weight upon
our consciences and our hearts. That
great, strong nations should be flying
at each others threats, that they
should be bringing together all their
munitions of offense and defense for
the express purpose of manning bodies,
destroying life, running property and
Gripping independent existence seems
terrible. Besides that, it seems so
puerile, so irrational, such a sense
less method OF settling differences.
And yet it must be said that a single
war is not an isolated or altogether
inexplicable phenomenon. 1t is only
the objectifying on a large and painful
scale of a spirit which runs through
all humanity and which shows how
little removed we are from the
primeval savage. The war spirit exists
and finds frequent expression in al

Such Is the impression gained in FIVE
years Of sailing over many seas, from

Bay OF Bengal
The old wooden bark Don Adolfo was
well known on the Pacific Coast in
the early days. She sailed under Mic
araguan colors for several reasons.
F1ySt, abe hailed primarily from
Cor1nto; second, she was too unsea-
worthy ever to be registered in any
American port Her former South
American owners sold her to old BIZ
cherd OF San Francisco at a low
price, and were pleased to be rid OF her.

was manned by as mixed a crew OF
ocean vagabonds as ever sailed a ship
Of doubtful reputation.
Surprise was universal when her safe
arrival of the Swan River was report
ed, but It was in that smiling tropical
harbor that she nearly met her end.
and that is just what ] am going to
tell about. How that old bundle OF
timbers ever staggered across the big
Pacific without more mishsp than the
loss OF half her rigging remains an un-
solved mystery. Who will say that the
sea has no pity?
The harbor OF Fremantle is broad
and dong and partly O. n to the sea.
Only Shippers Island breaks the long,
oily Swells rolling in from the Indian
ocean. outside Within the water is
one broad expanse Of shlmmering blue.

deep. seem covered only by an azure

beaches. dancing back and forth with
. baby rollers, children of the booming
breakers pounding the jagged reefs

Here il was that the old Don Adolfo
was anchored, after disc ,rging her
entire cargo on lighters inside the
breakwater, far out from shore, with
plenty OF space in which TO swing
about her anchor. IT is an important
point to remember that her hold was
empty, swept clean from fore 10 aft
