GAMBLING AND swIMDLIEe.

He PROPRIETY Of Judge Morse's
decision TO the effect that the man

ing the old lock trick on a verdant
Stranger. could not be held for gam
bling, viii hardly be questioned. In
the common acceptation Of the word
gambling the player must have a
chance TO win. Otherwise he is not
gambling at all He is merely dOnat-
ing his money or is swindling another
out of money or its equivalent. Nc
Cloud didn't gamble. The man who
CANDLES takes a chance. and certainly
McClOUd took no chance.
Gamblers of the old school have a
saying; IF you can't win you can't
lose In other words, the man who
bets on a sure thing is not entitled to
the money he wins. for the other fell
low has no earthly chance to win. 1t
has been argued that superior knowI-
edge entities the winner on a sure
proposition to his money, but strict be-
levers in an honorable code of gam
bling, and there is an honorabIe code.
do not consider the argument well
founded.
It may be altogether to the credit OF
the county attorney and his assistants
that they see no distinction between
gambling and swiudling. The same
thing may be said of Judge Diehl, who
sentenced a man to serve a term in
prison and pay a heavy fine for gam
bling when the defendant should have
been prosecuted for swindIing. All
gambling is. of course. more or less of
n swindle. That is to say. the man who
operates the game has the better of the
argument before it begins. Otherwise
he could hardly afford to pay heavy
rent. to furnish and equip a gambling
house and to pay corps Of expensive
employees.
But. while all gambling is. in a meas
ure, a swindle. all swindles are not
CANDLES. as we have endeavored to
show. At the cost Of releasing a petty
swindler whose operations have caused
the police considerable annoyance and
some of our rural visitors no end OF
heartburnings. the county attorney and
his assistants have learned a lesson.
In future when a man is arrested for
working the lock game. for selling a
gold brick or something Of that sort.
they will accuse him OF swindling. and
If he is convicted the higher courts
win not hesitate to affirm the iudg-
mGnt.

PARKER FOR PRESIDENT.

I I WAS ALMOST a foregone conclu-
l sion that the New York state corr
vention would instruct its Democratic
national convention delegates to vote
as unit for the nomination Of Judge
Alton 3. Parker, but the definite af-
tirmative action taken at Albany on
Monday clears the political atmosphere
considerably. The best politicians in
the Democratic party have gone on rec
ord as saying that the state of New
York should this year name the Demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency.
New York has named Parker. It now
remains 10 be seen whether or not
Parker viii be the nominee.
Certainly no other possibility has de-
Veloped anything like the following of
Judge Parker. II has been suggested
by Republicans who fear him that he
is merely a political stalking horse for
Hill and that. the fire having been COIL
centrated on him, Hill or some other
dark horse will come in at the proper
moment and win the prize. Such a sug-
gestion is ridiculous.
II the Democratic national conven-
ton were 70 be held today Judge Par
ker would be nominated not later than
the second ballot. On the first ballot
complimentary votes will doubtless be
cast for so-caIed "favOrite sons"
Massachusetts viii undoubtedly cast its
vote for Olney. there will be a sprin-
king Of votes for Hearst, and other
men who have been prominently before
the public viii doubtless be placed be-
fore the convention. But no name will
be seriously considered. at least, so it
looks at this junctuTe, except the name
Of Judge Alton 3. Parker Of New York.
And there are indications that the
Democrats will 90 into the campaign
OF 1904, not on the Kansas City plat
form. not on the Chicago platform. but
on the St Louis platform. 1t will be
a platform that all Democrats. how
ever they may have differed in the
past, will be able to find room on if
they have the will. Some Of them will
not be pleased with all of it. but they
can all find enough good in it TO make
il worth their while as good Democrats
ana good citizens to advocate its pTin-
ciples and support its candidates.
Here's to Parker and united De-
mOeracy. and may it sweep the country
clean next November

OLD DEBTS COLLECTED.

4 NEW WAY to collect old debts has
l been discovered by a New York
broker. and while he Will derive no per-
sonal profit from the transaction, he
will at at least have the satisfaction Of
seeing the reluctant debtor disgorge.
In the dispatches not long ago was an
account of a decision by the supreme
court Of the United States against
North Carolina in u suit brought by
South Dakota. The action was insti-
tUted to enforce TIE payment of some
railroad bonds issued by the defendant
before the war and long since repudiat-
ed. The amount involved was s27 400.
The object Of the suit was as much
TO establish a precedent as to secure the
money. Under our law a citizen can
not sue a sovereign state. One state
can sue another, however, in the United
States court. 4 New York broker was
possessed of some Of these North Caro-
lima bonds. He had be.:n advised that
he would have no individual standing
in court, but that a state would. There
fore he presented South Dakota with
some Of the bonds. the exact number
being ten. The intimation was thrown
out that if South Dakota would bring
sui,, and if the suit should be success
would be made
The suit was successful. a United
States marshal has been instructed to
seize certain property belonging to the
state of North Carolina and to sell it
at the east front door Of the capitol in
Washington if the judgment is not paid
by "A certain date. Now the precedent
having been established. the eleven
southern states that repudiated their
bonds issued before the war are in a
fair way TO pay very dearly for the ex-
perience. The bondholdeTs will acquire
a reputation for philanthropy by pre-
sentlng the bonds to various states. and
those states will in turn sue and re-
cover.
An eastern exchange says: There are
over $3O0.OOO,OCO Of repudiated state
bonds in existence, and, with arrears Of
interest added. the total Indebtedness
on this account exceeds S10O,0OO,0OO. The
holders cannot enforce payment thereof
to themselves. but they can donate the
bonds to states which could compel a
settlement. The possibility Of such re-
course being taken may. however, pot
be without influence upon the deIin-
quent communities; they may find it
to their advantage to make some rea-
sonable arrangement with the claim
ants rather than to be obliged To pay
the face value Of their debentures in
case the holders thereof should be col
lect!vely seized with the charitable i'm
pulse 10 donate the bonds to needy and
worthy states

SENATOR NELSON'S LAPSE.


z ENATOR NELSON OF Minnesota
- surprised and shocked the senate
Monday by ripping out a big, round
damn" in the course Of an argument.
Mr. Nelson was discussing the sundry
civil appropriation bill and urging that
something be done by the government
in the line OF road building in Alaska.
lie spoke Of the great quantities Of gold
and furs and fish and other things
Alaska has turned out, and wound up
with:
All this they have done, Mr. Presi-
dent. and in return we have not done
a damned thing for them"
An account Of the speech says the
senator was as much surprised as any
body else at his language He was like
wise embarrassed. though he needn't
have been. for. as he explained, in a
sort of apology. the forbidden word
came from the heart. The senate seems
10 have taken the lapse good natured-
j.. All the senators present Joined in a
laugh at the expense Of the man from
Minnesota. and it is not likely that
ne viii be called before the bar of
that august body for an explanation.
After all, a little swear word now and
then relieves ones feelings nightly.
We strongly disapprove OF swearing,
YOU understand. When il becomes a
habit It is one Of the most disgusting
habits. The man who swears ON all oc-
casions and on none makes n disagree
able spectacle Of himself He is not 1T
TO associate with decent people. But
just a little damn now and then
doesn't do anybody any harm, especial
~ II. as I'm the case OF Senator Nelson,
= comes straight from the heart
only the association Of other words
with it has made damn" seem more
profane than fudge" or "tush." How
ever. we confess we would not care for
it to come into general use in polite
society. or, indeed, in any society.
Most Of us would be .rudely shocked if,
for example. n lovely young girl whose
ball gown has been stepped ON by a
clumsy foot should say Damn it,
wouldn't it sound just too awful for
anything?
And yet a man may say it, and even
worse. and cause no shock Honestly,
II we really wanted to stop ali forms
of swearing we should endeavor TO
persuade the good women Of the COM
Inunity to engage in the practice long
enough TO let all the swearing men hear
them. Then II the men didn't stop they
would be beyond all hope of reform

a dispatch from Philadelphia says
that since February the United
States mint at Philadelphia has coined
$50, 1S0, $50 in $50 gold pieces. We dis
like very much to question the ac-

Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON. July 7.-Diligent in
quiries as to whether the United States
was asked by Russia or any other pow
er to inquire into England's Tibetan ex-
pedition elicit no satisfactory response.
That Secretary Hay did ask the pur-
pose of the expedition and that he was
informed that England had no inten-
ton of permanently occupying or forci-
bly, acquiring territory in Tibet is ad-
mitted. The exchange Of views took
place within the last month.
1t has developed in this connection
that the Younghusband expedition. now
having such a tough time in it's ap-
proach to Lhassa, was only authorized
upon the insistence of Viceroy Curzon
and to save the pride of that official.
The whole thing started when the Vice
roy felt that the representatives Of the
English Government sent to Tibet had
not been treated with proper considera-
tion by the semi-barbaric people of that
country.

ENDS TROUBLES
WITH POISON
Divorce, Whose Ex-Hus-

DIES In A FEW MINUTES
Deed Is Committed in Pres
ence of Man From Whom
She Had Been Separated

DEL MONTE, July Mrs. Bessie
Gosbey wife of Stanley Gosbey, super
lntendent of the Del Monte baths, COM
mltted suicide this evening by taking
cyanide Of potassium. The Gosbeys
were divorced a few weeks ago, and
Gosbey, in response to a telegram from
MS wife, met her at the railroad depot
mere this evening as she was returning
from San Francisco. Mrs. Gosbey urged
her husband to allow her to return to
MIN, and upon Gosbey refusing an i'm
mediate answer to her plea threatened
10 commit suicide, at the same time
taxing from a satchel a package of
cyanide of potassium. Gosbey wrested
the poison from her, but she had con-
cealed three capsules of the deadly
drug upon her person, and these she
swallowed before he realized what she
was doing. Death resulted in few
minutes
The tragedy took place among the
trees a short distance from the railroad
depot, the couple having walked there
while discussing their matrimonial af-
fairs. The deceased was about q years
of age, and had married Gosbey about
eight years ago.
