Guide TO State Sent Free to All

estate of Washington-Its Re-
sources, Natural, Industrial and
Commercial, is the title Of a 800
mage book, issued by the bureau Of
.tatjstics at the Washington state
capital, Olympia, Wash and sent
free of charge to any one who cares
ia write for it. This book is one Of
the most complete state publica-
ton issued, and is typical of the
energy and progressiveness of the
west. 1t gives every line of infor-
nation that tourists, sportsmen,
business men, manufacturers. la
borers. skilled and unskilled, and
farmers could want, while the man
who thinks of going west to live
will find in this Washington pub
ication an invaluable guide in
picking out the place and the voca-
tion he wishes to follow.
The natural advantages of the
state; it's timber, it's logged-off
lands, it's water supply and water
power, its grazing grounds, the
wheat belt, the dairying and gar
dening lands, the fruit lands under
the irrigation bitches, the trans
portation-water and rail-the
fisheries, the mines and coal and
iron deposits, the educational, re-
Iigions and charitable institutions
of the state, the markets, the wages,
the home life are all carefully
treated, and with strict attention
to facts.
Every county is taken up and
handled separately, with chart
showing the climatic conditions.
To give better idea than words
and figures can convey fine screen
haIf-tones of all sorts of views are
used literally. The book contains
a statistical appendix. giving by
counties the land valuations, the
assessments and tax rates, the
agricultural and horticultural and
industrial products in quantity
and value. the distribution of gov.
erument and state lands open to
settlement, figures of the lumber
industry, the shipments by rail
and water outside the state, the
cost of living in the state, popula'
ton of towns and counties, the
banks and officers and the county
officials. This book can be OBJ
tanned by addressing the Secretary
of State, Olympia, Wash. People

is covered. In great many or
chards the spraying has not been
thorough enough owing to the lack
Of the proper outfit.
1t is advisable to use power
sprayer wherever the size of the
orchard will warrant the outlay.
Sulphur-lime wash should be
used also as winter spray on all
orchard trees as a remedy for all
kinds of insects that place their
winter eggs on the bark. Also
acts as a fungicide for mildews,
peach leaf curl, moss and lichens.
| think it advisable to use the
concentrated sulphur-lime prepare
tons obtainable on the market, as
they are more dependable than that
made by the average farmer, and
when used while the trees are per-
fectly dormant should be diluted to
about nine gallons of water to one
of the preparation. Bear in mind
that spraying done in half
hearted way is generally no better
than no spraying at all.

WORK FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
Suggestion that He Be Given a share
in Presidents Job.

From the Omaha Bee.
The duties OF the President Of the
United States have grown so rapidly in
the last decade that it would appear
to be most desirable that the Vice
President should be chosen with a view
to his active assistance in administra-
ton affairs. A Vice President who is
in full sympathy and accord with his
chief could relieve the President Of n
vast amount Of more or less important
work connected with the different
branches OF the government. He might,
for instance, give his special attention 10
diplomatic affairs, to the Panama
canal, or to any one feature of i'm
portant work, reporting to his chief and
greatly relieving the demands upon the
time and attention OF the chief magls-
trate. This could be done without any
division Of either authority or respon-
slbility but It would elevate the Office Of
Vice President above its present popu-
lar disfavor an5 result IN a betterment
Of the public service. 1t would adapt
TO the government service the principle
that is observed with such good results
In corporation and private business or
ganizations, where the vice presidents.
or assistants under any title. have i'm
portant duties and do effective work The
Vice President should have a share and
influence in the work of the administVa-
tion instead of being limited 70 the
duty Of keeping posted as to the condi-
tiOn Of the Presidents health.

MOTIVE IN GAMBLING.
Moral Aspect of II that Is Not Com
monty Considered.

]. \. Laned, in Buffalo Express
The people of this State have been re-
ceiving an extraordinary education Of
thought on the vicious nature and ef-
fects CT gambling. as well as on the
evils of a public inhdelity to law. With
remarkable versatility and force OF moral
reasoning in his speeches. Gov. Hughes
has exhibited gambling in nearly all pos
sble lights; but there is one important
view Of it which appears to have escaped
his mind and which ought to be con-
sidered while the subject is up.
The motive IN gambling motive in
everything which has the nature Of a
belts not only the desire to get some
thing for nothing. but the desire to get
It by making somebody else suffer loss
Il is the condition of the gain from
gambling that it shall be taken straight
~ as loss from the pocket Of somebody
else. Therefore. its relation TO theft is
exactly as close as the relation of duel
ing to murder. In dueling, two persons
agree that one shall kill the other If he
can, chance or skill 20 decide which, If
either, shall succeed. Each hopes to sue
ceed. There is the intention of murder
in the hope How much does the con-
senting agreement which preceded the
duel take sin or crime from fatal re-
suit?
IN the other case. OF gambling. the DIFF
ference is merely that the agreement Of
The duel involves spoliation instead of
homicide. One party Is to take money
or other property from the other, giving
nothing in return, and some degree Of
chance or skill from a race or a game
or a gambling market is to decide which
shall gain and which shall lose. The
hope Of spoliation in this agreement cor
responds to the hope OF homicide in the
other. BY so much as theft is less in
v'rongfuiness than murder, the duel that
stakes money must be less In the s.a!n
of it on ones soul than the duel that
stakes life. but is the difference any
other than this?
The Washington herald., 1908-05-21
Armv HorsemanshIp.

The long-awaited order prescribing the
new requirements In horsemanship for the
commissioned personnel Of the army has
been published to the service and re-
eeived, probably. with varying emotions.
Those officers who believe that their hdel-
itS to discipline and obedience requires
them to indorse heartily anything which
originates at the White House are doubt
less finding that the order IS a triumph of
military aeumen and sagacity. There are
those army officers who are not quite so
oyal and obedient and who viii see in
this latest regulation all the faults which
apply TO the whole ridiculous system
which establishes as a standard of military
efficiency mere endurance ana skill in
horseback riding sorle concession Is
made In behalf of certain officers, notably
the field officers OF the Coast Artillery
Corps and Of certain Of the special stan
corps. who are permitted to take a fifty
nile walk instead of the three-day ninety
mile ride It Is hardly TO be expected that
officers who are thus excused from horse
naahship win select for themselves a less
exalted standard than that imposed upon
their associates.
But however that may be. the situation
remains that by the existing conditions
