a PEEVIsH MAYOR.

III AYOR WILLIAMS OF Memphis,
vi Tenn, has recently been forced by
a good government organization in that
city TO close all the gambling houses.
and TO see that the saloons do not open
their doors on Sunday. The mayor is
enforcing the laws with deep regret.
An idea OF his feelings may be gained
from his most recent utterance. He
said:
Progressive euchre. bridge whist,
and all the other games played in
drawing rooms for cut glass prizes and
other articles ~of value cause more de-
faIcations than the games of chance
presided over by professional gam
biers. I appeal to the social clubs and
the women of this city to give me their
aid in purifying Memphis"
The Herald has no defense to make
of the practice Of playing progressive
euchre for prizes or bridge whist for
money. but we submit that Mayor
Williams is as Ear wrong as man can
Wei be when he says they cause more
defaleations than the professional
gambling houses Those who play pro-
gressive euchre do not do so in one case
out of ten merely for the prize The
game is engaged in merely as a means
OF spending a few hours pleasantly. II
makes little difference to the players
whether the prize is costly or cheap.
1t is more the honor of winning it than
the prize itself that makes the players
strive for success.
One might almost as well say that
it is gambling for foot racers to run
for a medal as to say that it is gam
bling, in the worst meaning of the
word, TO play progressive euchre. OF
bridge whist less defense can be made.
IN that game the stakes are heavier,
the play swifter- 1t is possible to win
or lose a great deal of money during
an evening at bridge whist. But here,
again. comes up the question Of pass
ing away the time, A majority of bridge
whist players play more as a pastime
than for the money there is in it. The
others are pure gamblers and their
place is in the gambling house. not the
drawing room.
On the other hand, the only thing
that can possibly lure a man to a
gambling house is the desire TO win
money. There IL no pastime, no pleas
ure in it. The gambler. offers a sort of
soeiability, true, but it is a poor, sOrdid
thing. and is always measured by the
amount Of money the patron has 10
lose. The only excuse a gambler has
for existing is his hope of getting some
al gambler does more harm, the mayor
Of Memphis TO the contrary notwith-
standing, than a thousand progressive
euchre games or a hundred bridge
whist tables.

a WONDERFUL MAN,

I ENRY GASSAWAY DAVIS. the
Ii next vice president OF the United
States. seems we'll worthy to wear the
title, The noblest Roman of them
al" Mr.. Davis is taking as active
part in the presidential campaign as
II he were at an age when most men
are in their prime. lie is running
about from place to place with all the
zest and enthusiasm of boy Work
ing hard, sleeping little, Mr.. Davis is
one Of the most wonderful young-old
men ia TIE United States.
He is indeed, as Oliver Wendell
Holmes liked 10 put it. eighty-one
years young" People who had lost
track of Henry q. Davis since he re-
tired from public life a score Of years
ago, wondered at the action Of the
Democrats in nominating him for the
vice presidency 1t is a we'll known
fact that the blunt Of "a presidential
campaign usually falls upon the nom
inee for the vice presidency. IN 1886
and in 1900 the Democrats departed
from this tradition, but this year they
are expected 10 go back 10 if. Judge
Parker viii remain at his home in
Esopus while Mr. Davis viii take the
stump. 1t seems absurd to think OF
sendinsAsa man 81 years old out to
take the stump, but Mr.. Davis viii &C
quit himself creditabiy, for he is not
one of your ordinary eighty-one-
year-oIders.
2 The country has been amazed at the
J-frro- ba hos fEr1r-
II is entirely probable that the coun-
try has some more surprises in store
Tor it. Mr.. Davis seems now in a
fair way to round out an even cen
tury Of life, perhaps more. His ca
reer is a splendid example OF the bene-
TITS Of right living. EIe has not spared
himself when it was necessary for him
TO work, but he has always been tenn
perate Ia his habits, careful IN his
diet, watchful Of his health. He will
not make a circus campaign. the car
end speech kind that would be ask
ing too much. But he viii make him
self heard and he wiz be an influence
Tor the Democracy, an influence the.
value Of which it would be hard to
over-estimate.
Parker and Davis There is a rhythm
about the names. They sound well.
Their owners are above reproach. and
they viii give the nation an admins
Jration OF which all parties may be
proud Let the young men stand aside
for the nonce and give middle-aged
and the oId-yOung a chance to show
that some good fights are stll in
them

In the hope Of saving New York the
Republican nomination for governor is
TO be forced on former Secretary Root.
Doesn't it strike you as a little singular
that a candidate for the presidency
must depend on a candidate for lesser
Office to save his own state for him?
But a dozen Roots couldn't save New
York this year for Roosevelt. The

through the explosion Of an electric land
mine September ].
The mine was carefully laid by the
Russians three weeks ago. II covered
nearly n mile of available marching space.
The explosive was placed at the bottom.
Rocks were placed next. and on top Of
these clay was packed so carefully that
the ground gave the impression Of not
having been disturbed.
The indications of japanese activity in
this vicinity put the Russians on guard
Near midnight the outposts rushed in
and reported that the japanese were ap-
preaching. The Russians withheld their
fire for some time.
Suddenly they threw a searchlIght I'D
the valley. The japanese opened with a
rife fire. The Russians waited until ap-
parently the whole Japanese column was
In the danger zone. Then the mine was
exploded.
The force Of the explosion knocked a
number of Russians down, and the sight
cI the Ndl'E
and arms hurting through the lighted
space mnde by a searcllight was an awful
spectacle. Some OF the rocks landed in
The Russian lines.
There was one appalling moment dur
ing which the garrison Itself was stunned.
then a dcathlike silence. The searchiight
coidly lighted up the road and hiilsides
strewn with dead.
The following day the Russians buried
the dead. but. owing TO their dismembered
AND mutilated condition. the Russians were
