first proposition the governor never
theless believes long step toward
improving moral conditions among
the young and thoughtless will be
taken if the race track betting is pro
hibited. His arguments against the
demoralizing effects of this form OF
gambling are unanswerable, but they
apply with equal or more force to
every other form Of gambling. When
the youth goes to the race track he
must have an afternoon to himself
with the consent Of his employers, he
must pay three dollars to enter the
track enclosure and his betting must
be done in public. If he is getting
beyond his means the fact cannot be
concealed from those interested in
him for any reason. None OF these
safeguards surround gambling at
cards or other games of chance after
business hours.
If race track betting is stopped by
law some men and women who now
gamble in that way viii probably give
up gambling altogether, but the gov
ernor's belief in the impossibiIity of
making people moral by law must
convince him the result will be
chiefly to change the form of gam
bling for most of those who bet on
horse races.
President Roosevelt, dealing with
the matter, would go further. In his
recent message. which attracted so
much attention. he declared gambling
in stocks, and particularly speculat-
ing on margins. was quite as bad, if
not worse, than gambling at cards or
betting on horse races. Also the
stock gambling in the way of betting
on margins is much more extensive
than gambling cn horse races and
goes on all the year round.

Washington. April 9.-Congressman
John NJ Nelson of the second dis

speech denounced the system of alb

speaker, introduced a resolution pro
viding for a select committee on
parliamentary reform, consisting OF
46 members, to have jurisdiction of a
general, thorough and harmonious re-
vision of the rules of the house.
The bill relating to reliability of
common carriers by railroads, passed
| by the house April 6, was passed by
the senate without amendment and
without division. The senate bill on
the same subject was not confined to
railroads. but covered all forms OF
icommon carriers. and Senator Dolli
yer, who had reported it from tn
committee on education and labor,
sought TO substitute II for the house
hin. but his motion was defeated.
! Numerous amendments were offered
but all were yateG down. As passed
the bill is expected to meet the OBJ

iyet the proposed law would pay for
