Tho New Gambling Idea.

Two college professors have done
much to relieve the public mind BY
promulgating their opinion that
gambling could not be eradica1ed
from modern lie and that the wisest
thing to do was to control 1t. More
explicitly, one professor says
Properly done. gambling is not 3
dissipation, but recreatiou. In the
rush Of business or in the hunndrum
Of life, gambling may be just the best
stimulant for some men and women.
Bridge whist, for instance, is posi-
lively social. The winners earn re-
preston OF their triumph and the
losers are pleased with themselves at
their ability to lose. well"
1t is encouraging to see gambling
put on new basis and all the moral
lists OF the ages thus quickly and con-
cisely set aside. we understand theSe
things better now. Bridge whist is
largely to thank for 1t. One OF the
chief virtues to be sought in a truly
soulful and highly spiritual life is re-
preston Of our triumph. When we
fold up the IS OF our neighbor across
the table and tuck it In our pocket
we should do it calmly, nonchalantly
and quite smilingly, tossing of a
little bon mot to tighten the incident.
This is the sentiment OF true COM
radeship that should prevail among
us all and that should never be blem-
ished with any vulgar feelings Of gain
or gloomed by any reflections Of the
possible impovishment OF those we
play with.

Standards Probable Action.

Congressman Scott, who lie prob
ably % well informed on the situation
as any person in Kansas, says; "The
report that the Standard is getting
ready to leave Kansas Is = good story
Ito tell the marines. The Standard
has done and Is doing some queer
things. 1t announced a boycott Of
all one day-and took 1t back the
next. In one part Of the field on one
day 1t disconnects lot OF tanks; the
next day 1t comes back and restores
those connections--and disconnects
somewhere else. All Of which looks
like horseplay, or idiocy.
''But the Standard will not leave
Kansas. To do that would be to turn
over the best oil field In the United
States to somebody else, for it goes
without arguing that with the Standard
out Of the way independent mpaniss
would fairly rush into the field. The
Standard may make a pretense 81
leaving, but the pretsnse will never
become a fact. 1t doesn't do business
that way.
"What the scheme is, Of course,
no outsider can more than con jecture.
1t may apparently abandon the field,
and q year from now or tive years
from now, mysterious strangers may
drop around quietly in various places
and buy out the hsrd.squeezed local
companies, and some 6ns day the
title to all the territory that is worth
anything may tuln up in the hands
Of the'standArd Oil. It may wait IN.
III the independent re6neries are built
and then find some way to acquire
them. Or 1t may-sbd this is the
widest conjecture Of all-it may do
business here some day As other psO-
pie do Il, openly aud honestly and
fairly on an honorable competitive
basis But the Standard viii never
