with wild eyes and trembling hands
over the roulet and faro tables. Like
those hardened and heartless soldiers
who gamble for the sayior's garments
right before that face of moral gran
deur and divine meekness, so is the
modern gambler held In the grip of
this debasing passion.
Nothing can be said i'm favor of
gambling-it adds no atom TO the
character OF a man or the wealth OF
nation. 1t violates the command
TO love ones neighbor as ones self
The gambler has TO make some one
else poorer by his becoming richer.
He Graves eagerly his own gain at
the direct expense of his neighbo-.
II breaks the commandment Thou
shalt not covet." The gambler COW
cts another's money; he wants It
he kept It. Gambling Is an enemy
to progress and Improvement. II
has no constructive power, but only
destructive. Legitimate industries al
ways improve their raw material:
gambling ruins It. II is contrary
to the law OF values, that honest gain
shall represent honest labor. Mon
ey is the symbol Of property or of
toll. The gamblers fine pictures
and horses and houses represent no
honest equivalent OF service or
wealth. His are ill-gotten gains.
Gambling robs man OF self-respect.
He feels in his soul the meanness of
his occupation. and is conscious of a
sad deterioration i'm his ideals. HeI
contributes nothing to the common
good, and worships a deity called
luck instead OF a God who has or
dained that man shall eat his bread
by the sweat of his brow. He in
hicts pain upon others He thinks
nothing of the loser, OF the youth
who has robbed his employers tin
to replenish his pocket, or of the
wife and children brought to shame.
or OF the suicide whose losses brought
him pleasure
Gambling leads to theft. Almost
without exception when man steals
the funds of bank or embezzles
money the robbery is owing TO losses
at some kind OF gambling. It's fruits
are dishonesty I'm all forms. II is
heartless; it will betray like Judas;
1t will lie like Ananas. 1t is a dis
10
ness. Wall street is mighty octo-
pus, and the bucket-shops Of the
country are his tentacles reaching
out into all the cities OF the land to
suck the blood Of the people. and
here and there to draw . man COM
pletely under, just as the real devil
fish draws his struggling victim UNI
der the sea. Gambling unsettles the
mind It's perpetual excitement is
like living on stimulants and in
toXicants.
Playing cards for prizes is gamb-
| ling. There is no difference in prin-
ciple between playing for a dish or
vase worth $40 and playing for
$50 and then buying the dish with
the cash. Gambling is close kin to
/ stealing. Both the thief and the
gambler take something for which no
equivalent is given. The tendency is
downward, the strain is ever greater,
the passion stronger, the reason
binder, until poise and judgment
are swept down into the Unsuitable
maelstrom. The only safety is to
keep the moral sense healthy and
strong, and the manhood clear and
true to the cardinal points of noble
ness and righteousness.

The Time HAS COME

For the little green sprigs of
grass to peep out from under their
winter cover and breathe the re-
freshing odor of Springtime.
SO with man. 1t is time for him
to prepare to shift his heavy winter
garments and take on lighter
weights.
These are times not Of the black
valise, hickory stick and red ban
dana, but times I'm which each man
must necessarily be particular about
his clothes.
We don't condemn the $1,000

OF the clothing worn was from
$1,000 to $500.

CHARMS SNAKES IN PULPIT.

NASHVILLE, Ind, August 21.-rne
Rev. William Grabb, pastor of the
Church of the First Born, is adding
hundreds to his flock by demonstrating
the power of his creed with rattle
snakes.
He declares that nothing can bring
harm to true worshippers, and says he
can handle any kind of snakes under
Divine protection without injury.
To prove his faith, rattlesnakes
caught in the woods a few days ago
were taken to the church, and he was
asked to prove his sincerity. He took
them out of the box, wrapped them
about his neck, and thus adorned ex-
horted his hearers.
Many sinners went to the mourners
bench after the demonstration.

MADE A BOOM IN TENNIS

Miss May Sutton, the American girl
who has wrested from the Britons
their most cherished lawn tennis tro-
phies, returns to this country in a few
days the acknowledged worlds queen
of the courts
This 20-year-Old California girl has
brought about a new era in lawn ten
mis- for women here abroad. In Amer
lea the influence is shown in the in
creasing number of women players
that have turned out for the toVrna-
ments this year On the other side it
has made certain an invasion of the
United States by the foremost English
women to compete for the newly Offer
ed international challenge cup, the
first ever hung up for women in any
branch of sport
With her Miss Sutton brings prizes,
silver and plate, which may well cause
the eyes of customs officials to bulge
and make them imagine the diminu-
tive girl has in some manner managed

Then there is the first prize for the
All-English championship, which is

two legs; the prize for the All-England

championship. second prize in the
Manchester doubles and Lord Bute's

This is a wonderful array, and in

from this country ever approached the
success Miss Sutton has achieved on
this, her third tour abroad.

Upton CHALLENGE.
In view of the expected challenge
from Sir Thomas Upton, it is proposed
by a number of wealthy yachtsmen OF
the Atlantic side to build a new de-
fender for the cup. G. oliver Iselin,
Cornelius Vanderbilt, August Belmont
and Henry Walters are among those
who will discuss the question. Her
reshoff probably will be the builder.
But plans are under way for two other
boats to be built, one by Henry J. Gle
low and the other by William Gard
ner, these builders with Herreshoff
ranking as the three foremost naval
architects Of America 1t is planned
that the three yachts shall compete in
trial races, and that the best of the
three shall be selected to race for the

Won the Kings cup, is supposed to be

INCOME TAX
CASES DECIDED
TAX COURT sUsTAINS ASSESSOR
IN TWO CASES AND REvERsE5
HIM IN ONE.

Three decisions i'm income tax ap-
peals were handed down by the Tax
Appeal Court yesterday. In each case
the Board was unanimous in it's opip-
ion.
In the case of H. A. lsenDerg estate,
the appeal from the Tax Assessors as
sessment was sustained. The income
tax was returned at 1926, and was
raised to S2692.35, the difference being
an assessment on $4,000 of life insur-
ance. The contention of the appellants
which was sustained by the court was
that the insurance money would be
divided among the heirs and would
then be available for inheritance tax,
which would amount to practically the
same amount
In the case of the Campbell estates
appeal from an increase of S451. IS in
the amount of income tax it was held
that the income from which this was
derived had been expended in Califor-
mia in making repairs caused by the
earthquake of April IS, 1906, and as
such was a part of the expense of the
estate and exempt from taxation. The
Board sustained this view of the mat
ter, but the Assessor will appeal to the
Supreme Court for a decision as to the
exemption of incomes expended out
side the Territory.
The third case passed upon was adj
versely to the appellant, c. G. Ballen-
tyne, who appealed from an increase
of $19.11 made to his return on income
tax. He claimed that the proceeds

places so accurately that She soon has
her opponents at a disadvantage. Then
Miss Sutton displays an amazing
amount of energy and it tireless in
her foot work. There is a secret about
this which she divulged while playing
in the ST. Nicholas rink tournament
in San Francisco last April, before she
sailed for England. Since her early
school days Miss Sutton has been fond
of long walks and running. Often she
takes two and three-mile cross-country
runs so as to preserve her endurance
and sustain her wind"
1t was her abundant health and en-
durance which made it possible for her
to defeat Mrs Chambers and Miss Tu-
pie Lowther. The latter is rated as
the most expert aI1-around woman
athlete in england, and it is expected
that she will be a member of the in
vading team of Britons next year. Miss
Lowther is a winner of championships
at lawn tennis, at polo and fencing,
and holds prizes as a boxer of no mean
ability. The annals of lawn tennis in
England record her as having once Sc
verely chastised an impolite official Of
a tournament in which she was play
ing and having sent the man sprawl
ing in the dirt Upon her arrival Miss
Sutton is expected to participate in
some of the women's events in the big
tournament at Southampton, L. l., on
the courts of the Meadow Club. Then

.STRICTER LAW
FOR THE AUTOS
SUPERVISORS PROPOSE TO PASS
ORDINANCE REDUCING THE
SPEED LIMIT.

A new ordinance regulating the speed
of automobiles will in all probability
be passed at the next meeting of the
Board of Supervisors which meets on
Thursday the 10.
Chairman Hustace stated that the
County Attorney would be ready by
then, and the large leeway that has
been allowed autOmobilists would be
greatly reduced. This has been brought
about by the number of accidents in
the past the Board considering it
duty to pass law that would protect
the people on the streets, and prevent
the public highways from becoming a
speedway for the owners of the speed
wagons

MANY GAMES
IN PROGRAMME
BALL PLAYERS OF THE CRUIsER
SQUADRON STRIVING FOR A
CUP.

The first of the series of baseball
eot begin today at the League
rounds. The game today is between
le West Virginia and the Maryland
team, and a good game will no doubt
be the order of the day. The series of
games are for the Hongkong Cup Civ
en- by the Vulcan Oil Co of Hongkong,
and is to be played for each year by
the ships on this station. At the pres
ent time the team from the Colorado
has leg on the cup and the winner of
the series will have the cup for one
year. The chances are that the Penn
sylvania team will win the champion
ship this year, although the other
teams are ready for a good hard fight.
The success of the Colorado team is
due to the hard work done by Its.
Boyd and Stuart, who played on their
Irrespective teams at the Academy, and
were considered to be two of the best
men that have ever played baseball in
! the Navy. In addition to the Hong
kong Cup going to the winner Of the
series it is very possible that the Navy
Department will also give pennant to
the winner, to be won every year by
some ship on the Pacific station.
The following is the schedule OF
games to be played at the Honolulu
| League Park by cruiser men:
A series of games will be played for
the Hongkong Cup. Each ships team
will play one game with each other
/ ships team. The ship having the
highest percentage will be declared the
winner. Should two teams tie for the
first place, they will play off tie to
decide the championship.
