a life, the lesson of which posterity
should learn, and to blazon to all gen
e~ratiOns to follow the greatest tri-
umph virtue has ever recorded in that
city. Fort Worth has e cursed
with gambling from its beginning I'M
til tnat Friday afternoon
when McLea1's body fell limp and
skunk away to his own doom. Then
gambling in Fort Worth came to an
end. and McLean's long battle was
won. A frightful price to pay, tbs
true: but it is not clear that victory
could have come in any other way.
1t was not the first tragedy which
the curse of gambling has enacted in
Fort Worth. At brief intervals during
the history OF the city its victims
nave been laid away in the tomb,
while hidden from the gaze of the
world are the countless woes and mis-
cries it has Inflicted upon that COM
munity-the same tragedies, woes
and miseries it infiicts O every
community in which it is permitted
to flourish.
But when a man like Jeff Mclean, a
brave and faithful servant of the peo-
pie. a man who accepted h peoples
office with a pledge to redeem their
city from lawlessness. is murdered
in cold blood in the presence of his
wife. then the better instincts of
manhood assert themselves. AS awful
as the tragedy was, it was merely an
incident of the curse of gambling;
but il this case it showed the com
munity the nature of the evil against
which he was contending and imme-
diately there sprang into existence
that resistlesS public sentiment

Our legislatures have e enacting
anti-gambliag laws for so years. but
they have mad little vitality because
public sentiment has been dormant,
Our experience in Houston has not
been unlike that of Fort Worth. We
have had our tragedies, our roster OF
wrecked lives. our impoverished wo
men and children. But there has ev'
er been an influential portion of our

Worth. which at heart did not object
to gambling a "wide-open'

where. 1T puts money in circulation.
says one. They pay good rents
| saws another. "They are liberal spend
ers and there are good profits in
their trade" they make good times
men will gamble anyway" and all
such f~allacies are frequently heard.
But no intelligent man who ever in
v~estigated this question failed to
reach the conclusion that gambling
is a curse morally, finacially and eco
nomically.
We sorrow for the infinite agony
of the ~unspeakable tragedy at Fort
Worth, for the unutterable pity of it,
for the untimely end of an upright,
faithful and courageous life, but vir-
tues flags are floating il triumph ov-
er the citadel of vice in Fort Worth.
JEFF McLean's spirit instinct with life
is %throbbing in the breast of every
decent citizen of Fort Worth, and it
means Fort Worth's redemption. The
very stones upol which he fell are
calling the men of For Worth to du-
ty. His victory is complete.

JOHN c. SPOONER.
Gle Has rendered His Resignation
as Senator from wisconsin,

after appointed assistant attorney
general of Wisconsin, removing in
1870 to the city of Hudson, where he
practiced law until 1884, in the in
term serving as a member of the
state assembly from st. Croix county
and as member of the board of regents
of the Wisconsin university.
Senator Spooner's first entrance to
the United States senate was on
March 4, 1885, and he was succeeded
as United States senator in 1891 by
William f. Villas, Democrat, receiving
however, the full vote of the Repub-
lican members of the state legislature
for reelection.
He was again elected senator in
1897, and, notwithstanding his an
nounced unalterable purpose not to
be candidate for reelection, the leg
islature of his state insisted on CON
ferring upon him the honor of an
other term of six years, beginning
March 4, 1903. The senator received
every Republican vote in both houses
OF the legislature.
