J. Brandt Walker of Chicago cleaned
up cool million in the stock panic.
He had happened to sell short, and the
crash came in time to help him pay
with fifty cent dollars. The New York
papers describe his operations at col
umn length, and the youth Of the land
will be greatly encouraged. The day Of
great opportunity is not ended. At ten
dollars a week making shoes or weed
ing corn rows it would require two
thousand years to get SO much wealth
To the ambitious youth making shoes
or plowing corn seems out Of the ques-
ton. But the bucket shop is left. True,
Missouri has just outlawed the bucket
shop and Arkansas has lately forbid
den newspapers to print the racing re-
turns. 1t is no longer permitted to give
publicity to the winnings in lotteries;
but there will be time to make many a
million before the heart of youth is
denied the chance to be fired with fierce
ambition by a full view of men earn
ing a million a minute at the arduous
labor of juggling on paper in Wall
street or the grain pit.

1t saved more for Russia than the
lives and health of a score or SO mem-
hers of the duma that the roof of the
Tauride palace fell when the assembly
was not in session. Had the members
been in their places when the rafters
fell only the ministers and the mem
bers on the right would have escaped
harm. The ministers and the 102 Octo-
berists, peaceful regenerationists and
monarchists who occupy the right of
the chamber make up the government
party in the duYna. The killed and
manned would all have been on the
left, where sit the 1872 social democrats,
group of toll, and socialist revolution
lists; and in the center where the 116
constitutional democrats sit, all striv-
ing with various degrees of ladicalism
for more political and industrial de-
mocracy In Russia. Had the ceiling
fallen on these the government could
as easily stop the stars as convince the
country that the collapse was not de-
liherately planned To get rid OF an OBJ
iectionahle political element and Rus
sian would have burst into flames from
Lake Enara to the Caspian sea.

Mrs. Patience Takethought's hus-

who has been calling here? Well, got
to thinking what If they should oe
married and build a house and dig q
well and the baby should fall in the
well. It's too dreadful to think about

fayorite one with lyceum lecturers.

Abe Ruef calmly eats his lunch in
prominent restaurant while his bail
bond is being forfeited In Judge Dunne's
court To the sheriff who sends In
his card Mr. Ruef sends word that he
Is mot at home" The sheriff, who re-
ceived his Office as a gift or perhaps as
a purchase from Mr.. Ruef, returns to
tell the court that Ruef is not to be
found Anyway Judge Hebbard, an
other of Ruef's appointees, while too
drunk to sit up straight had the day
before decided that the indictment was
faulty, Ruef would prefer to be tried
before Hebbard, but that servant OF
the easy boss had to be sent to hos
pital to recover from his latest de-
bauch. Mr. Ruef is utterly unable to
= take seriously the proposal to try IN
good faith, him, the ruler of city, for
high crimes. and there is reason to be-
lieve that in San Francisco his view
will be allowed to prevail. Some cities
would not consider it a benefit to stand
In such a light. Indeed, 1t is almost
time for some shrinking soul to nro-
pose the suppression of the news from
San Francisco lest 1t corrupt our civic
virtue.

Union Pacific officials at Omaha an
nounce the stopping of work on the
Athol hill cutoff in Wyoming be
cause of adverse legislation toward
that road" Eight hundred men will
be thrown out of work 1t is asked
why this and the score of similar re-
ports which the railroads take pains to
disseminate have not suggested new
ammunition to other lines of business
that are assailed by legislation. why
do not the life insurance companies
call in their solicitors and bury their
assets as a club to the head Of restrlc-
tive bills? What simpler means could
be devised to defeat pure food leglsla-
tion than for all manufacturers of food
to lock up their factories? Would not
the people be rioting for impure food
within a week? There is an animal
that stings itself to death when inter-
tered with. Perhaps the railroad policy
looks too much like this to arouse
emulation in other businesses.

A dishonest employe OF the assay
Office at Seattle is about to earn for
tune Of 100000 by spending six years
in Jail. He stole gold dust from Alaska
to the amount of a quarter of mill
lion, but only $4,000 Of this has been
claimed by the men from whom 1t was
filched. The rest Of them do not know
Of their losses or cannot establish
them. So although the government
knows that this man has stolen all of
the gold remaining in his possession 1t
can find no way to keep him from
owning and enjoying 1t after he Is re-
leased. The trouble about an incident
OF this kind is the temptation 1t offers
to other men to 60 and do likewise. A
man cannot earn $33,s33 year in hon
est employment, and If he is badly BIT
ten by the desire to gain riches he
may coldly calculate on big theft,
term in prison and the enjoyment of
I'll gotten riches in some other part OF
the world during the remainder Of his
Iife IT Is evident that the punishment
of this sort of theft needs to be
changed to meet the crime more fully
than 1t does at present.
