is the way in which the anti-license
side will argue the matter. On the
other hand, it is contended that in
asmuch as the spirit of gambling
cannot be suppressed by any laws
that may be passed to that end, it
is better to treat the question from
a common-sense and practical stand
point. 1t may be true that many
man has contracted the gambling
vice through these machines. There
is said to be fascination about the
device that impels its votaries to
continue bucking, Notwithstanding
they realize almost to a moral GER
tain that they cannot win at the
game. The machines were not built
to lose. They are constructed to
win, and invariably do win in the
long run. A man throws his money
away in trying to beat them. There
is no disputing this proposition.
Still, it is urged, if man is disposed
to throw away his money, why
should he not have the privilege of
so doing, and at the same time the
right to elect his own method of
doing so. If he is inclined to throw
his money in the street, to be scram-
bled for by boys, his right to do so
is not questioned. If he wants to
bury his hardearned wages in the
earth, he can do so without let or
hindrance. 1t may lie there for ever,
and be permanently withdrawn from
circulation, still he is not interfered
with, although he thereby infiicts an
injury upon society which the nickel
in the slot gambler does not do. The
money lost by the slot route is kept
in circulation; others get the benefit
of it; but the coin buried in the
ground is lost from the avenues of
business. Men are not built alike.
There are many so constituted that
the possession of money is their
greatest curse. Spending their
money, generally in the most foolish,
if not outright pernicious ways, is
their sole business until the funds
are exhausted. With such men the
sooner the spree or spell is over the
better it is for the victim. If the
wages go through the slot machines
he loses his money, which would in
evitably be lost anyway, but that is
all. He is financial wreck anyhow.
and would be under any circum-
stances; but if the spendthrift habit
takes the form of liquor or other
vices, he becomes a physical and
mental wreck as well.
In AmadOr county the small card
machines are licensed at $5 per
quarter We do not know whether
the ordinance has been enforced.
We presume it has. In San Fran
cisco slot machines are licensed at
$40. The state prohibition reaches
there as well as Amador. But the
authorities doubtless realize the i'm
possibility of suppressing gambling
in its multifarious forms, and hence
adopt the plan of making its votaries
in this particular form at least con-
tribute to the support of the gov
ernment. We are not arguing in
favor of gambling by slot machines
or in any other form. The writer
never lost nor won a five cent piece
through such devices in his life.
But seeing that men will gamble, if
not in one place or in one Shape then
in another, is it not policy to accept
things as they are, and reap some
measure of profit from this vicious
habit for the support of the govern
ment.

1t is not always the cleverest man

Of being at the head of house.
1t is very nice to have the world
talking Of your husbands greatness

OF him. but this is not every day in
the week, and you have your husband
about all the time. If you are think

Husbands. Note This.

There are few right thinking per-
sons who could deny that business men
ought to cOnfide in their wives.
First of ALL woman cannot feel
that her husband has given her his
whole heart when he keeps from her
the whole course Of his business life
No doubt it is generally done from a
good motive. The husband thinks he
is saving his wife worry and trouble
but in most cases he is doing the eX.
act opposite. for every wife with right
feeling would gladly lessen her hus-
bands burdens by sharing them.
Nor does sensible woman care for
the left-handed compliment that her
pretty head was not meant to bother
with figures. True marriage is true
union in everything where all is open
and the griefs and the sorrows of eacl,
are shared by both and comfort dra WIN
from the mutual sympathy. 4 man
who does not confide in his wife DELHI
erately shuts himself ont from his
chief consolation.

MILLION DOLLARS DAMAGE
BY fire At BUTTE, mont.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 25.-Fire yester-
day did damage to the extent of ST.
100000, wiping out the entire business
portion Of Butte lying between the
Shodair block and Renshaw alley on
the south side of West Park street.
The fire started at SAL a. m. in Sy-
mons big department. store, which was
burned to ashes. A strong wind came
up from the south and the fire leaped
across the street to the new Clark build
ing, an eight story office and apartment
structure owned by Senator Clark.
From this point it leaped across to the
f75 1000 public library, which contain
ed $780, 900 worth of books and practic-
ally completely Quilted it. The Argyle
hotel and the Butte Miner, four story
building, were also licked up by the
flames before they were fully under
control at p. m.
The fire departments and apparatus
from half dozen of the big copper
mines on the hillside were ordered out
by the mine owners to help save the
town, and special train, on which
was the Anaconda fire department,
made the 20 mile run from Anaconda
in 33 minutes, over one of the crook
eldest roads in the United States. The
assistance of the Anaconda linen was
very timely, as the Butte firemen were
nearly worn out.
Had the fire leaped across main into
the the crowded mass of old business
buildings the loss would have been
many times greater and there would
have been nothing left of Butte's bust
ness district. Half dozen big hotels
and lodging houses, as many grocery
and dry goods stores, and numerous
shops and stores of different kinds were
wiped out.

Olympia, Sept. 26.-The Olympian

There is serious hitch in the pro-
posed joint rate suit the state is to
bring before the railroad commission
to test the joint rate clause of the new
commission law. The case was set for
hearing at Colfax October %, in ex.
pectation that the pleadings would be
complete and served yesterday on the
railroads so the thirty days notice
would have run before the hearing.
cit is declared that the whole pro.
ceeding so far had is valueless and
that there may be delay of two or
three weeks in preparing the papers.
The only complaint, that upon which
the proceedings are drawn, is said to
have related to An occurrence of more
than three years ago.
In view of the Importance of the
case it is urged that new case he
made up-that formal shipment of
coal from Roslyn be offered fer trans
portation over the Northern Pacific
and o. r. q N. and a tender made Of
the maximum freight rates on such
shipment under the joint rate law.
Then formal refusal will be had from
the railroads and the case can be pros.
ecuted.
AS it is, the case that was about to
be prosecuted is said to be lacking in
allegations showing definitely the date
of tender of the freight, by whom ten
dered, the date and manner of refusal
and other essential facts.
AN effort is reported to have been
made to have the railroads consent to
the facts on stipulation, thus avoiding
the necessity of specific allegations,
but the o. r. & N. refused to agree to
such procedure"
