MIGRANTS, KNAvEs AND FOOLS.

Jim" O'Leary. whose betting lists
| newspaper with q sport department, is
accused of "welching' for a large sum.
O'Leary is the head of a gang of race
track gamblers which calls itself a
Syndicate" and makes books on horse
races. "Welching" Is for the loser
to refuse payment Of lost bet. The
charge against O'Leary is that lucky
better won $12,500 of O'Leary's money
on a long shot and that O'Leary re-
fused to pay. This is the objectionable
sin in the gambling fraternity.
Hundreds of Iowa sports have sent
their money on to Jim O'Leary weeks
before the event, they wagered it upon
had been decided. Very little of it ever
came back. Some Of these same fellows
used to send their loose dollars to the
Louisiana Lottery Company. Not / per
cent of those contributions ever re-
turned. The lottery company had the
drawing in its own charge Mr.. o.
Leary and his syndicate of Skin"
gamblers usually have the race track
lottery arranged to their own benefit.
Now it appears that when cog slips
and "the sucker" wins by accident he
loses anyway.
1t is the same old story that the
years bring back over and over again.
The fool and his money are soon part
ed by the crooked and designing. The
gambler has always been either fool
or a knave, and thrived or lost, accord
ing to his status. No one has yet been
able to find the line where gambling
leaves off and scoundrelism begins.
There have been moderately square
gamblers'-whiIe they were winning.
1t is asserted that certain gamblers can
lose and stay square" In connection
with the latter statement Is the asser-
ton that the moon is made of green
cheese. Jim OLeary's is a sample of
the honor that exists among profess
sional gamblers. The morality of his
profession is on par with that of the
burglar.
There is not a little city in the state
without its gang of tin horn" ganb-
lers, who thrive on the wages of clerks
and laborers. Scarcely little town in
Iowa but has its coterie of ordinarily
decent young fellows, working thru the
week to, lose their wages Saturday
night and drop around Monday morn
ing to beg the loan of a few dollars
of friend, wherewith to pay the last
weeks board bill. The tin horn"
feeds on them as a weazel preys on
rabbits. And in most cases the police
powers of the cities and towns share
in his spoils.
If there is one scoundrelly and vic
ious gang that should have no counten-
ance and receive no mercy from the
authorities ard the officers represent
ing the authorities. the gamblers con-
stitute it. Ard there is no gang to be
got rid of more easily. The professional

over three hundred and eighty-five

FARM HANDS HERE AND THERE.

Iowa farm hands and the farmers
in a report on wages of farm laborers
and cost of their living. compiled and
issued by the labor department of the
London board of trade. Iowa farm
hands who are complaining that Sc
a month with board and Il horse kept
is starvation wages, may learn some
thing to their advantage by comparing
Iowa with Ireland. These English
figures show that, Notwithstanding
6 per cent in wages paid agricultural
laborers since 1898. the weekly earn
ings now, including; all allowances. do
not average more than 1891. Small
as this sum is, it is almost double what
can be earned in the west of Ireland,
where. in seven counties, the average
earnings. including allowances are be-
low $40 week. The highest average
in any county in Ireland is $S12 Near
England, Scotland and Wales the farm
laborers are best off, earning an aver
age of S5.32 a week. The average value

principal article OF food of the agricu-

any kind is rarely seen on their tables
