WAR ON THE POOLRO0Ms.

Thanks to the cOmmendable activity of the
police and the District Attorneys office. pool
room gambling seems to be more nearly
stamped out to-day than It has been at any
time in the thirty years since It became an
organized mania and n menace to public morals
and order. In those thirty years manyGscru-
sades have been conducted against the pool
rooms and thousands OF individual lawbrea kors
have been arrested and punished. But the sys-
tenn survived, and as the spoil taken from the
bettors was enormous every fresh attack was
met by new and cleverer devices TO escape de-
lection. AS this get-rich-Quick business was
concentrated more and more in few hands ii
acquired ample means for defence and was
enabled to effect alliances, political and other
which insured It considerable measure OF i'm
munity from the disturbing activities of the
police and the courts. The first serious blow
at the system the withdrawal from its
service of the telegraph wires, which il had
long used without hindrance A second and
even more fatal blow has now come in tbe
decision of the telephone companies to rent no
more wires and instruments to applicants who
intend to employ them to distribute racetrack
Information. If telegraph and telephone are
both closed to the gamblers. the other ma
chinery OF gambling must come TO dead sion.
Even the most optimistic Of dupes will hest
tate before dealing with an operator who has
10 means OF knowing what Is going at the
racetracks
Only last week the federal authorities, after
long quest traced down the managers OF the
Honduras lottery the successor of the out
iawed Louisiana lottery, and compelled them
to plead guilty to indictments and to promise
to close out their Odious business Policy nlav-
ing has also been pretty effectually crushed. and
the credulous poor have been protected against
the seductions of these two meanest and praed
lest forms Of gambling. 1t is time that the
doors of the poolrOoms should also be nailed
up Betting on horse races has been moro
widespread and demorazing than nolIcv or
lottery playing, because 1t has appealed to q
far larger public and offers a more continuous
opportunity 10 the gambler races being RIM on
about three hundred and thirteen DAYS in every
year Racing has long unfortunately been CON
sidered a gentleman's mode of gambling and
that tradition still dfferentlates it little from
less pretentious forms of speculation like mol
Icy. lottery and faro. Yet as conducted in the
poolrooms, 1t is as degrading obnoxious and
wasteful as any kind Of gambling well couId
he. The cost of operation is of itself enor

cent of its receipts to meet expenses and
profits. But with the drain on the pooIroom

men for all sorts Of extraordinary outlay and
for police protection the cost of operation must
reach more than so per cent At the best the
deluded player puts up dollar to win 20 cents
and the surprise Is that the army of losers can
be recruited fast enough to pay the exorbitant
costs of the game
It is recruited, in fact, only by encouraging
and melting crime. 1t would be interesting to
know how many thousand dollars of stolen
money have gone annually into the pockets of
the pooroom operators. To teach a man to
try daily to get something for nothing is to
teach him to ignore the distinction between
money earned and money in sight but not
earned. The player stakes his capital first and
then his honesty. We are beginning to realize
what tester in the life of a community this
misdirected passion for gambling is, and are
putting all the forces of order at work to check
the evil. Sound progress is fearfully retarded in
a society in which men are encouraged to pro-
duce nothing and to give no qUid pro quo for
service, but simply TO live by preying upon one
another.

HOTEL PRTYACY.

1t may hOrrify the vast and opulent world
of citizens who live in hotels to learn that the
courts have just confirmed the right of hotel
keepers to walk in upon their guests without
knocking Worse yet, any servant acting under
instructions from the hotel manager is like
wise authorized to break in most informally
upon n tetea-tete or an afternoon snooZe to
dust the mantepece or Turkish I'D the plate
glass windows. The judges handing down this
decision base their opinion upon views expressed
in a settled by English judges in 1900
wherein was maintained the ancient precedent
of Roman law that an innkeeper's liability is con
fined to the property Of his guest while the inn
keepers duties in relation to his hosiery re-
quire the free coming in and going out Of him
and his agents. so that it would be contrary to
public policy to restrain these persons from the
discharge Of their duties by constituting such en-
trance as trespass. Such is the law but 1t
doubtless worries not n few respectable persons,
nevertheless.
One Of the judges of the Appellate Division
dissents from the recent ruling. He believes the
law should provide that guest in a hotel shall
be insured the same privacy he may enjoy in his
own home, so long he pays his bills and be-
HAYES properly. Probably most guests imagine
the law actually does give them this protection.
But they misled by the fact that diplomatic
hotelkeepers easily manage to keep a watchful
eye upon their patrons quietly and without
giving offence. We en- hardly understand what
course of reasoning has led the dissenting Judge
to suppose that person has the same rights in
a hotel room that he has in his own house Pri-
vacy, however much it may be desired by guests
and guaranteed by landlords, must obviously
yield rank to good order, sanitary considerations
and many emergencies. The tremendous devel-
opment in hotel life during recent years. in
volving larger establishments and consequently

4 GOOD EXAMPLE.

Police Commissioner Bingham has written n
small book giving practical information to citi-
zens about the duties and methods Of the
police force, with particular reference 10 the
various ways in which the public may help
the Commissioner in securing good service
from his subOrdinates. Much of the informa
ton thus supplied has heretofore been pos
sessed only by the few who have had occasion
10 investigate the routine of the Police Depart
ment. 1t is probable that not many persons
know the police precinct Ia which they live
the trouble" telephone number, the rules about
the wearing of police shields and helmets the
best way TO enter complaints against police
men, and various other things which every
body ought either to know or else 10 be able
conveniently 10 ascertain. General Bingham's
book, which Is for free distribution, should
therefore serve good purpose in helping to
make New Workers more familiar with the most
important body of their public servants.
But the book may render its greatest service
in improving the discipline Of policemen. pro-
vided that its wide distribution makes the gen
eral public familiar with its contents Thanks
to recent legislation, the Commissioner is gain
ing control OF the police force; but he needs
the constant assistance of the community
Everybody interested in good government may
help TO keep the police force in order by read
ing Mr.. Bingham's Pocket Guide Through Null
berry Street and reporting breaches of conduct
and acts Of bravery. While less good may come
from the book than its author probably hopes
for, inasmuch the average citizen still pre-
fers 10 be bOssed rather than TO do stroke
Of civic work himself, nevertheless few
thousand readers would make its publication
worth while The example which General
Bingham sets might well be followed by some
other city departments. notably the Street and
Park departments. To energetic, watcbful
citizens who are willing TO help maintain dis
cipIine and wish to know how to secure their
rights. such manuals are valuable

RUSSIA IN ASIA.

Russia is reported TO be much concerned for

visions Of almost illimitable expansion which
she recently cherished and is devoting her best
energies 10 the confirmation of her present do
main. Despite her need Of money at home, she
is spending much for the fertilization of her
frontier between Siberia and China as If TO

"STSTEIf."

That was a somewhat illuminating case Of
the policemen Terhune and Kearney the other
day. The elder of the two for his own adj
vantage gave testimony which caused the Dis
trict Attorney to demand and the judge TO order
his arrest and commitment for perjury. In that
testimony the younger man, his colleague. re-
luctantly but 'loyally" strove to support him,
at least by refraining from testifylng to the
contrary; until at last he was prevailed upon
to make n frank confession This act of one
policeman In standing by another, even when
the latter was In the wrong, was characterized
by the District Attorney as part of system"
which prevails in the police force, under which
every man is bound to stand by his fellows. no
matter what they may say or do. To what
extent that System" does prevail we shall not
assume to say, though there have been indica-
tons that it is widespread. 1t is obvious that
If it prevails to any considerable extent it is
capable OF being tremendous force for evil.
Nor is that System" confined to the police
force. It's existence and its workings are to
be perceived elsewhere. Industrial and com
mercal organizations are by means all

the complaint that modern judges must go back

the days of the Plantagenets although they like
to think otherwise.
