and he quits. That's the reason We
don't advertise our business"
For ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain" the manufacturer OF
crooked gambling devices is fully
as peculiar as Bret Harte's immortal
Chinaman. Modestly enough, he does
not take a great dea Of credit for
originality. He frankly admits that
most of the ideas that have been
adopted by him in the making of sure
thing apparatus were evolved from
the fertile brains of men who did not
want TO take a chance for their
money.
Loaded Dice Are Old.
Take the dice loaded with quicksil-
yer, for instance. That particular idea
was Matched many years ago in the
Imagination of tom Marney, who
g%ravitated east from Denver and
Omaha about the time craps leaped
into great favor in gambling houses
from its Heretofore general vogue
only among the negroes of the south.
The western gambler had the idea.
but he brought il to New York TO have
it worked out by a local manufacturer.
Now the quicksilver bones are the
staple of the sure thing mans out
tit. Most of the other devices known
to the profession. also. were invented
by the gamblers themselves and not
by the manufacturers.
"The game that has been the most
difficult to control of all the popular
games of chance" said the manufac-
turer, sis faro bank. l suppose that Is
one reason why it is so popular. The
use Of fifty-three cards, or dealing
'hfty-three.' as II is called. probably
is the most successful method of TAX
ing the players money wrougfully, but
that hardly can be classed as a me-
chanical device. 1t requires extremely
clever manipulation and collusion be-
tween dealer and c~asekeeper. A few
years ago a Pacific coast firm put out
a faro layout that was rugged with
threads, wires. a false bottom to the
box and other devices.
"In theory ii was a beautiful thing,
but 1t never got much money for the
owners. one Of them was brought to
New York and | am odd that some
wine soaked youths were steered
against 1t in a Thirty-ninth street
gambling house. much to the disad-
vantage of the youngsters, but IL
would have deceived a wise
sober player for three minutes. As a
of fact, most of the big losses
are reported in the papers as
to brace faro are not true. Just
before Canheld's was closed John w.
Gates was said to have lost $4,000
at one sitting at faro and to nave
said afterward that, while he knew he
had gone against the knife he would
eheerfully give another $4,000 to
know just how he had been robbed.
That may be true, but | don't

WHAT JUDGE BAKER THINKS.

A New York Herald special from
omaha gives a REPORT Of interviews
with a number Of prominent Nebraska
republicans OF the matter Of the
presidency. Judge n S. Baker. for
merry Of Albuquerque, was among the
number. and Is reported as follows:
Roosevelt can not accept another
term. nor can he be permitted 10 name
his successor In office. There are no
more reasons why Roosevelt should
name his successor than that success
sor sshould name the man who follows
him in office. The naming Of a can
didate should be q matter for The en-
tire party. not a one man PROPOSE
ton.
III would be the worst thing that
could ever happen TO this country that
a precedent should be set permitting
a president to name his successor in
office. and would, eventually end in
overthrow of our present form Of
government"

President Robert Mather, Of the
Rock Island system, gave the country
an exhibition Of good. hard, railroad
sense when. In his address before tn
Chicago Association OF Commerce a
few days ago. he old his hearers thai

lied that the railroads would willingly
submit 10 a plan Of regulation that
was wise and just. This point being
gained. ! believe 81 would be possible
to convince the people that a wise and
Just regulation IS possible only under
a single and centralized authority"
Thus Mr.. Mather puts himself di-
rectiy IN line with the policy Of the
present national administration. There
ia nothing that Mr., Roosevelt has said
or done In his handling Of the railroad
problem. that foreshadows govern
ment ownership, or that looks 10 any
thing more than the same wise and

authority" And the bungling and

the result Of an attempt to reach the
same end through the separate and

forty-five different authorities, - the
most convincing testimony that could
be given to the %soundness OF the poi-
Icy Of putting this great work under
the absolute control OF a single and

at the Fair.
Cphoenix Republican,

Eugene Brady O'Neill returned yes
terday morning from a visit to Albu-
querque. partly to attend the fair AND
partly to be present at an important
meeting OF the Knights OF Columbus
He offered no strenuous denial of the
report that the real object of his mis-
sion was to secure the Bernalillo
county delegation to the next Arizona
democratic convention for the nomi-
nation OF a candidate for delegate to
congress. He said he secured at least
the good win Of the New Mexicans.
He saw Governor Curry. VINO had
Just returned from his tour of the
Mississippi with the president and he
has filled the New Mexleans with a
hope OF single statehood. He has pre-
scented the matter to them in an even
stronger light than the dispatches
did when they announced from
Cairo, lis. that the president has au-
thorized Governor Curry to say that
he would favor a bill for the admis-
sion Of that territory. The governor
on his return said that the president
had putiit stronger than ,hat; he had
said that he would work for the bill
and he had all but guaranteed admis-
sion.
Contemporaneous with the enthus-
isasm which is being wrought up over
the statehood question is an effort
to arouse enthusiasm in favor Of
sending a Roosevelt delegation Of the
next national republican convention,
Governor Curry and tho Roosevelt
leaders there made nc attempt to
