SIAM ANTl-GAMBLING WARFARE.
United States and England to be
Asked to Aid In the Fight.

NEW YORK, March 27.-Tnat the
United States and England, with other
Christian nations, will soon be asked
to help the king of Siam put an end
is the assertion made by Rev. DR.. Ar
thur J. Brown, secretary of the Pres
byterian foreign board, on the strength
of advices just received by him from
Siam.
Gambling in Siam has been licensed
and encouraged by the government, the
monopoly of conducting the gambling
establishments of the cities and towns
being auctioned off to the highest bid
der. Effort has long been making to
get the king to put an end to the gov
eminent patronage of the evil, and he
has just issued decree to that effect.
In a large part of the country gambl-
ing is to be stopped on April list next,
April and in Bangkok, the principal
city, in April of 1907. But for the full
fillment of the plan the Christian ma
tons of the world must help.
Rev. DR.. Brown explaining the part
which this country and England will be
called upon to play in the matter, said
today:
Gambling is the national vice of
Siam, where, licensed by the govern
ment, it is conducted without attempt
at concealment. Every village has it's
gambling hall; the cities many of them.
The vice has been vigorously combated
by the missionaries of the Presbyterian
board of foreign missions, the only
Protestant organization having work

NORTHERN PACIFIC MAY BUILD
DOWN THE NORTH BANK OF
COLUMBIA.
MissouIa to PortIand-PIan to
Save Long Haul.

Will the Northern Pacific straighten
out it's line between Portland and
grade and cut off hundreds of miles
from the present line? This is the ques-
ton that is being asked by the rail-
road men in view of the recent rail-
road developments in the northwest
asserts the Oregonian, and the MAORI
ty of those who ask the question ex-
pect an affirmative answer.
A short time ago the Columbia River
& Northern railway, running from Lyle
to Goldendale, was bought by Hen
ry p. Scott, and the assumption is that
Northern Pacific money was behind
the deal. The Northern Pacific people
say they know nothing of the pur-
chase, but so do those who represent
the Great Northern, the other alleged
purchaser, and for that reason, the
matter is in doubt. But on top Of tne
purchase by Mr.. Scott, President FL
lott of the Northern Pacific made a
special visit to the northwest, stopping
at Tacoma, Seattle and Spokane, and
travelling over the branch lines farther
to the east On the heels of Mr.. Ell
liott's visit surveying party, under
Engineer Pollard of the Northern Pa
cific is sent to Culdesac, and out over
the territory between that place and
Missoula, where it still is. All these
things have made people ask for the
reason of the concurrent visits and
sales and for the general activity. In
explanation they hold that it is un-
doubtedly the intention of the mana
gers to build a shorter road at an early
date.
The Northern Pacific has in the past
few years secured possession of the
short line from Vancouver to Kalama;
it has purchased the old portage road
right of way opposite The Dalles; il
has mad men at work quietly buying
up rights along the river until it now
controls, either by purchase or promise
practically the entire bank between
Vancouver and Lyle, and now it is ru
mored, and not contradicted, that il
has bought the Goldendale line reach
| ing out toward the main line at Pros
ser through the Yakima valley.

The Creed of the Russian Peasantry.

Catharine Breshkovsky, Russian
philanthrOpist and revolutiOnist, sum-
mariZeS the economic and social creed
of the Russian peasantry as follows:
The Russian peasants say that justice
Cor Cod demands that all human beings
should be happy; that they shall have
means of enjoying life without doing evil
to others and without being oppressed by
them But beyond this Russian peasants
are bold enough to believe that they know
not only what constitutes truth. but also
the means of putting 1t in practice here on
earth. They say, for instance, that a
good God has created man: that he gave
man with life the right to enjoy all that is
created by him for the benefit of man.
kind. So the land, with all it's riches.
forests and streams, all this belongs to all
of us because it is the work of God
This is the economic aspect Of truth to
the Russian peasants. AS to the moral
side, 1t consists In never doing evil to
ones neighbor and In aiding him in his
toll Daily toll does not brighten the Rus
sian laborer; he loves the land and values
his work, which makes his life pieasanter
and more intelligent. This is the real
Russian peasant, 4
While the above is an ultra partisan
and optimistic view, it nevertheless
agrees in essentials with what is al
ready believed of the masses of Russia.
Considering the immense preponder-
ance of the peasantry in the population.
if they ever get the chance Of putting
their principles into general practice
the world may yet turn to the east for
q glimpse Of the first social millennium.

EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD ARTHlJR
QUINN OF SPOKANE SEN.
FENCED TO PEN.
Promised to Become Useful Citizen
If Light Sentence Was I'm
posed Upon Him.

Although but Is years of age, Arthur
Gum a confessed burglar will begin
life by spending two years in the state
penitentiary. Gum was sentenced by
Judge PoindeXter at Spokane Saturday
and he will be brought to the peniten-
tiary within a fe wdays or so to take
his place among the seven hundred
convicts now confined in the prison.
Gum when sentenced expressed sorrow
over his disgrace and promised Judge
Poindexter that if given a light SEN
tence ne would endeavor to become a
useful citizen upon emerging from the
penitentiary He spoke so frankly and
seemed so earnest that the judge said
he would give him a chance and SEN
fenced him to two years.
Joe Kelly another criminal of Spo-
kane was sentenced Saturday after
noon to three and a half years on a
charge of receiving stolen property.
Gum and Kelly will be brought down

Work and PLAY at College.

Although this Is a college booming
age, the meaning of college career
seems to be an unsettled question.
President Thwing of the Western Re-
serve university is really found to be
on the defensive while suggesting in
the North American Review that col
lege course should be largely a matter
Of lectures, lessons, library and labora-
tory. He says: "Going to college and
working little is good; going to college
and working much is better, very good.
The college student should. indeed, be
other than a student. But he should
at least be a student and hard one
too
An inside view Of college life which
now and then leaks out is that only
those students who work their way are
really benefited by a college career. or
course the man who works his way and
gets the worth Of his time and effort
cannot do much besides work. The
much talked up social life Of the place
cannot mean anything to him. If he
gets all that there is worth while sole
" by hard work, those who skip the
hard work naturally come out with
Door showing in valuable results.
