to prohibit gambling. This is entirely
apart from the issue involved in this
particular instance Gambling is already
prohibited in the District. as regards all
forms of card games and other recognized
gaming devices, and. to the extent of the
city limits and mile beyond them. 1t is
prohibited absolutely in terms of horse
races, base ball games and elections. The
present demand of the people is that the
absurd dangerous discrimination between
different forms of gambling. on the one
hand, and the same form of gambling
when practiced in different parts Of the
District. on the other hand. be ended by
means of straight-cut application of the
law.
Attempts to ridicule the crusade against
race track gambling on the score of senti-
mentality are as futile as they are abb
surd They deceive nobody. This Is a
cold matter of-fact proposition that Is
advanced against the gambling at Ben
ming. 1t is bad for business in that IT
diverts semi-annually enormous sums OF
money from legitimate channels of trade.
1t is bad for the city in that it fosters
crime 1t is finally unwholesome In that
it weakens the effectiveness of the
statutes against the forms of gambling
that are under the ban. These are en-
tirely practical reasons for the immediate
extension of the law.
Sinister hints that the Sims amendment
may be permitted to die the death Of the
neglected are occasionally heard. They
are accompanied by no specifications.
The utterances of members of the Senate
District committee. however, effectually
discount them and establish the belief
that in very short time the anti-gam-
bling laws will be amended to give them
full force and effect against all forms OF
this evil in all parts of the District.

The Second Richest People.

The people Of the United States are
richer by S1.4i than they were year
ago That is not much of a gain for
each individual. 1t will not buy much
meat or many eggs or pairs of shoes or
suits of clothes. But when 1t is multi
piled by S7,l4O,OO0. at which figure the
population is estimated, it grows into q
significant sum. 1t gets to be somewhat
like a fortune. 49,. 4S1 900. When a coun-
try gains a eighth of billion dollars in

That country is the richest in the world

lieved that the phenomenon of the high

able to the failure of the population to in
crease. Thus the steady advance in both
numbers and per capita circulation In
this country IS more significant of great
aggregate wealth than the persistent

The Sims Amendment.

If the decision of the Senate District
committee to delay action on the anti
race track gambling bill was inspired by
a desire TO make certain that the work OF
prohibition will be thoroughly and e1ec-
lively done, there can be no cause for
public complaint. The explanation Is
offered that the bill which carries the
Sims amendment, STRENGTHENING
measure. is in itself faulty in that it fails
TO provide properly for the acquiring by
the public OF certain right of way
owned by the street railway corporation
occupying the line with it's tracks An
amendment. therefore. is necessary
Judging from expressions of members of
the Senate District committee there is
virtually no opposition in that quarter to
the Sims amendment. The necessity of
CARRYING out consistent policy of pre-
scription against gambling is apparently
recognized on all sides. In truth. the
argument in favor of this legislation is
unanswerable. An effort has been made
mere and there to ridicule the measure.

Assistant Republicans in 19OOP.

Five Wall street operators, two OF them
democrats of national reputation. con-
tributors to the amount Of hundred
thousand dollars each to the republican
campaign fund of 1900? 1t is an interest
ing, if not startling, story.
Cornelius y. Bliss. who was treasurer
of the republican national committee that
year, denies it. He should know. A
sum so large would necessarily have
passed through his hands. and the sources
of il would have remained fixed in his
memory II is nothing new for New
York financiers to play both sides in
presidential contest, but half-million con-
tributions to either side are not as nu-
merous as blackberries in season. Mr..
Bliss is a man of high standing, and his
word Is good.
We must consider, too, that the second
Mckinley campaign was without the ten
sion and the anxieties that attended the
first Mr.. Hanna, while active and Wig
liant. lost no sleep in 1900. There was
not day after the reafhrmation of the
Chicago Aatform of 1896 by the Kansas
City convention when the democratic
prospects were bright. Mr.. Bryan's de-
feat was a matter of calculation on both
sides. Many democrats expected the re-
publican majority to be large. Why.
then. this big pool by five men toward
helping TO save the country, which, by
general agreement, was not in danger?
We should hear something further on
this point
William c. Whitney, whose name is in
volved, was d bold operator in everything
he touched. He played politics to win,
and with much skill. His sympathies were
with the republicans in 1890 and he would
not have hestated to assist them with
money If money had been necessary. But
was il? Is it in the least likely that he
contributed the sum reported"
The case of Thomas +. Ryan is more in
teresting by reason OF the fact that he is
alive and active in politics. He assisted
in bringing bout the nomination of Judge
Parker in 1904. only four years, if we may
ing to defeat his party's candidate for
President. And he is now prominent
figure. both in New York, where he re-
sides, and in Virginia where he votes, in
the movement To defeat Mr.. Bryan at
Denver. He will not be strenSt hened in
mis- political activities this year by this
story. Tor il he contributed hundred
thousand dollars against his party in 1900
when Mr.. Bryan was the candidate, may
ne not do So again this year? He is as
strongly anti-Bryan now as then.
What has come out of the New York
grand jury room whets public interest in
an interesting subject. If possible We
should have the whole story.

Stunning for the Presidency.

If Mr. BRYAN is nominated at Denver
will he Swing around the circle again
IT is difficult to conceive of him as a
stay-at-home candidate. He likes travel,
and his popularity as a speaker is undi-

and again. His role for the past eight
wears has been largely that of an enter

remarkable experience in politics. but 1t
is inconceivable that even so fortunate
A man should survive as towering politi-
cal quantity a third defeat for the presi-
dency.
And if Mr. Bryan takes the stump will
his Chicago opponent follow his example?

of these men would, as a candidate, not
only draw enormous audiences. but be
certain to do valuable work for The cause
In 1884 opinion as to Mr.. Blaine's stump
tour tour was divided. Some republicans
thought it mistake Others heartily
approved of it, In 1896. while Mr.. Bryan
was so active, Mr.. Mckinley remained at
Canton. In 1904. while Judge Parker
and Mr.. Bryan were both on the go. Mr..
Roosevelt was at Oyster Bay. But this
latest case was decided by official propri-
ety. Mr. Roosevelt was in office, and
the stump was not the place for him.
In this matter. however, we are growing
a little unconventional. Men now are
hunting the highest as we'll as the lowest
office. They make their wants known in
a variety of ways. Speaking tours are
supplemented by press bureaus. \ candi-
date without loss of prestige, may be-
come an entertainer, and push his politi-

the coming campaign may witness the
presidential candidates of all the parties

srankest and most strenuous style.

Paterson and Anarchy.
Mayor Mcbride of Paterson, New Je
sey, Is quoted as follows:

Mayor Mcbride of Paterson, New Jer-
sey. is quoted as follows:
"Anarchistic talk and anarchistic publ
cations in Paterson are doomed. This
might as well be understood now as at
any other time. This city has no more
anarchists than any other city OF similar
size in the country, but we are naligned
and pointed to as the breeding place OF
anarchists There is only one way to stop
this. and that is to Danish every anarchist
to be found here, and that l intend to
do. If another edition of La QUESTION:
Sociale is issued in Paterson, or any pub
LEGATION like it, it will be suppressed. l
know what the law is but we cannot fight
fire with procedure. The good name OF
Paterson is involved, and we will act first
and then put it up to the grand jury
later-if necessary.
The day when reds like Emma Gold
man or any other agitator of her class
can come to this city and address people
from the public platform has passed.
There is going to be a new deal. and l
am going to act swiftly and hard"
This is to the point, and if the policy Is
enforced, benefit far beyond the limits Of
Paterson will result. The reds will rage,
and some sentimental people outside their
ranks will sympathize with them, but If
the means are severe 1t must be remem-
bered by all practical people that the
eNll is one Oi lue GREATEST
Paterson should support this move, be-
cause the town is vitality concerned. The
mayor has recently charged the press of
the country with unfairness in dealing
with Paterson on this subject. The Star
was among the newspapers Of which and
to which he complained. But there had
been no unfairness. For years this thriv-
ing. and doubtless worthy, Jersey COM
munity has figured in the dispatches,
domestic and foreign, as an anarchist
center. How many reds might be har-
boring there was not so much to the
point as the incontestible fact that those
who did live there were busy and agrees
sive. They made themselves heard and
felt The establishment there of the an
archist publication which has been barred
from the mails was Of itself proof that
the reds favored the place.
1t is not necessary to dwell on the point
that the policy now announced should
have been inaugurated long since. 1t is
of more value to say that 1t is the right
policy, and should be followed TO its ex-
treme logical conclusion. By this course
Paterson will serve both herself and the
country at large. She will set an exam
pie to be initiated Sho will test a ques-
ton around which much discussion has for
long time played.
A free press and free speech are not the
issue. Neither is attacked in Mayor Nc
Brides remedy. What is attacked, and
what should be suppressed, is the open
and frequent Indictment to arson and
murder, in a crazy effort to abolish ex-
listing governmental forms and substitute
for them sort of chaos. That cannot
be dealt with too vigorously; and as
Paterson knows the evil from close
acquaintance she should exert herself
to uproot 1t within her own limits.

Mistake as to Mr.. Bryan.

From the New York Times.
Mr.. Bryan has the National Democratic
Club at a disadvantage, and it serves
them right, for they have blundered The
committee should have invited him, not
merely to dine, but to speak. In fact, it
would have been a much slighter affront to
ask him to the dinner and then give him
nothing TO eat than to put food before
him but enjoin him to silence. Mr.. Bryan
is a perambulating voice, an embodiment
Of utterance. Silence and he are incom-
patible. He has behaved, it seems
to US. with proper spirit and dignity in
declining an invitation under such impos-
Sibe conditions.

Responsibility.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Some one has said truly that RESPONSE
bility walks hand in hand with capacity
and power. Little is expected of the in
capable. The very mention of duty, task,
responsibility weighs like burden upon
the minds of weak men and women. Ev-
cry one must have met men Of good parts
who will sedulously dodge anything like a
responsibility. They shun everything like
responsibility though high rewards may
be offered. The mere thought of being
held to strict accountability dismays
them, and no remuneration and no honor
are great enough to tempt them to leave
the pleasant ways of peace to undertake
course which involves contention or
strife, or even serious prolonged atten-
ton.

Preaching of Violence.
From the Boston American.

rom inc bOtIOn AMtEICdu.
The preaching of anarchistic violence
should be stopped, to begin with-not so
much by condemnation in advance, by
forbidding meetings, etc, as by reporting
the meetings and putting in Jail for at
least ten years any criminal advocating
murder or physical violence of any kind.

free speech must be protected But free
speech has nothing to do with advocacy
Of murder, and If our law does not make
