THE GAMBLERS rAMc.
BY EDWIN A. NY

THE GAM5lER'S cAM1.
Young man, do not gamble.
Or, if you must and will gamble, &c
into the gambling business-become q
gambler.
Do not bet on another mans game.
II you do you will lose your money
You may not think so. but you will
lose your money just the same.
This is what Richard A. Garfield, the
big New York gambler, said abou,
gambling a few years ago:
III you play with a gambler long
enough he is bound to win your money
He can't help but get it.
when you play with me in round
numbers you put up 800. and agains.
that put up 500. Now. figure how
long you can keep doing this. You
may win my money now and then. you
may break me temporarily, but as long
as you play against me at the odds OF
100 to 80 I'll have your money
Garfield knew.
In the days Of his prosperity he il
reputed to have made 5000, 900 in the
gambling business.
1t is said that for twenty years when
he was in the business he did not
personally touch q card or manipulate
device.
He relied upon certain profits mathe.
matically figured.
Garfield put it plainly: If you go into
the gamblers game he has a hundred
chances to your ninety-ten chances to
your nine. If you stay in the game
as nearly all players do, he will get
your pile.
The gambler knows the end from the
beginning.
1t is just here the man who CANDLES
makes his mistake. lie fancies his
skill and good luck will beat the laws
of mathematics He bets on the theory
that nine Is more than ten
The gamblers game is not q game
Of chance" There Is no chance In It.
1t is game Of deliberate robbery sci.
entifically carried out.
Canfield's warning will fail to keer
the man who has the grabbing fever
away from the tables. The poor foo
Is infatuated with his system" He
IL always going to break the bank.
But you!
IL you have an idea in the back OF
your head that you are an exception to
the rule. ask yourself which is the
greater, nine or ten.
/ say nothing OF the immortality OF
the game. But do say IL you expec,
to gamble without losing your money
Don't.

THE WASHINGTON INDICTMENT,

The indictment OF the owners OF the
Indianapolis News and the editors OF
the New York World. Mr.. Pulitzer.
Mr.. Van Hamm and Mr.. Lyman for
criminal libel in the U. S. courts at
Washington, D. c., begins to look like
the real thing.
The laws OF libel are among the
most simple and comprehensive in
the United States. In criminal libel
every single issue of paper Is action
able. This makes it possible for the
trial to be held any place in the coun-
try where the mailing clerks OF the
paper may have sent copy of the
paper. In other words the action OF
publishing a newspaper is the placing
OF copy Of the paper in the hands
of third party. Thus a paper with
125, 200 circulation is actionable on ev-
cry paper issued. This will give the
prosecution chance to carry on the
trials in most of the U. S. courts if the
present trial is unproductive of re-
suits.
The law of criminal libel permits
any thing to be printed in direct quo
tation but the moment that editorial
comment is made with the assumption
that a certain statement is true that
becomes actionab.e as libel. The on
~ salvation of the editorial writer
seems to be the hypothetical state
ment.
Thus when the News stated in yes
terday's issue:
Perhaps it is needless to say that
the course of The News will be in no
way incluenced or affected by what
has happened. We shall continue to
discuss public questions on their mer-
its, as in the past, and to criticise pub
lie men without either personal or
partisan BIAS
1t did not really touch the main is
sue involved in the present trial.
The question at issue is whether or
not these papers did or did not say
in their editorial columns or assume
to be true that certain charges made
In the New York World were facts.
1t is said that the story published
by the New York World was the con-
cotton of a soldier of fortune who
was down on his luck. The story was
then successfully offered to Mr..
Cromwell for the consideration of $685.
900 which 1t Is said he refused to be
blackmailed for. The democratic
finding that the statement was false
It did not dare to publish the story
The New York World then took the
matter up and Mr.. Cromwell has stat
ed that he went to the World office
and informed them of what had hap
pened to him and denounced the thing
as false. They. as is we'll known, did
publish and said that the story was
true.
The foregoing is the gist of what the
government will base its case on and
It seems likely that some Of the edi-
tors Of the World at least will be con-
victed. But that is a matter for the
courts to decide.
The most difficult part Of any libel
suit is to prove intent and it may be
that the News can escape under that
loophole. The New York World would
seem to be in perdicament if it is
true as has been stated that they said
they would publish it true or false
and with the purpose OF doing dam
age at a time when proofs could not
be forthcoming in time to save the
election of Mr.. Taft. That is indeed
the crux of the situation

NEW G. N. TRAIN
TO HIT High SPOTS
FARGO WILL BE THE FIRST STOP
FOR PASSENGERS AFTER TRAIN
LEAVES TWIN CITIES WHEN
NEW CHICAGO COAST SERVICE
BEGINS.

The Great Northern Oriental Limited
after it's terminus at st. Paul is chang
ed to Chicago on May % will touch
only the nigh spots on it's trip to and
from the coast.
Something Of the speed Of the train
may be imagined when it is stated
that the new schedule will call for no
stops for passengers on this train be-
tween Fargo and Minneapolis. The
Great Northern is after the time record
between Chicago and the coast and in
order to make time they are going to
cut out long stops. The train will
probably not stop more than once be-
tween the twin cities and Fargo and
that stop will be made just long enough
for the engine to take water.
The next stop after leaving Fargo
will be Grand Forks. While the speed
of the train itself will be great the
fact that 1t has such few stops will en-
able it to make much better time than
any other train on the Great Northern
ever made before.

Evidently soured at society In gen.
eral and desiring TO plead guilty to
the charges which had been prefer
red against them, serve time and have
the matter over with, rather than, be
placed on trial, prolonging the misery.
John Zeigler and Jack Nelson, were
this morning checkmated by Judge
Charles F. Amidon in the federal
court. Their pleas of guilty were re-
Jected by the court. AS a result they
will be placed on trial at the next
term of federal court which opens here
May Is.
zeigler was arrested at Cando by
Deputy Marshal Quist who brought
the man to Fargo last evening on a
bench warrant. He was charged with
selling liquor to Indians. He gave his
age as "a years and standing before
the bar of justice furnished unique
picture. Dressed in the garb of a
laboring man, his face bearded, he ap-
peared before Judge Amidon.
Il am not guilty of the charge. but
/ will plead guilty just the same," was
his remark.
He was informed by the court that
there were many charges against him
and that the punishment would be
severe.
II am willing to take all that have
coming" was his reply.
Judge Amidon then made extended
inquiry into the mans history. In an
| intelligent manner Zeigler recited his
past. He had never been arrested be-
fore. He informed the court that he
had been held in Jail eighty five days
already and that he was tired of wait
ing. He wanted to be sentenced and
have 1t over with.
Judge Amidon refused to accept the
plea and appointed Atty. S. G. Rob
erts to look into the case. A plea OF
not guilty was later entered and the
action will come for trial.
Would Plead Guilty, Too.
A colored man named Jack Nelson
charged with the same offense loung-
ing on the clerks desk in front of the
judge, maintained he was innocent but
insisted on pleading guilty.
The court informed him that If he
was innocent that no such plea woulc
be accepted and Atty. r. M. Pollock
was appointed to conduct the de
