The Back Door of Society.

A new theory of the ethics of gam bling, or at all events, theory which no one has ever ventured to offer t2 legislators, was put forth the other day by one of the society leaders of Narragansett, Mrs. John Henry Hee- nan, in discussing the gambling scan dals at the pier;
 As far as gambling Is concerned, it's something that's got to exist. My idea of this question is that it ought to be regulated. I believe this form of amusement is the rich mans pastime, and it's nobody's business how he spends his money as long as it doesn't injure anybody else. But I'm emphat- ically opposed to the opening of these gambling places to young boys and men who cannot afford to lose a dol lar
 It should be added that she extends the same liberality to other vices, and would have a saloon for each class of people-waiters, colored men, middle class. society. etc." That 'etc." pro. vokes interest-what is there in the scale above society,"" But on he theory ought not the saloons as well as the gambling hells to be restricted to the patronage of the rich? Mrs. Heenans breezy comments will inter- est Narragansett, but will that water ing place relish her characterization of it as "the back door to society ?''- Springfield Republican.

WestsrIx,s Civic Center.

The purchase by the government of a new post office site at Westerly is a reminder of the fact that that town like all contemplating New England communities of the better class, is de- veloping a civic center. On this twen ty-thousand dollar lot will be erected a hundred-thousand dollar federal building. near by the central square of the town, the public library, the high school and the fine park of thirty odd acres which all newcomers to, West erly are surprised to find in a place of it's size. If the architecture of the new building is acceptable-and it is like ly to be in these days of intelligent at tention to such things at Washington Westerly will have more reason than ever to take pride in its externals. Let it develop an equal measure of com munity sentiment and it's growth will be rapid and it's prosperity assured.- Providence Journal.

WHAT HAPPENED TO BERTIE

Scene, sidewalk in front of row of attractive stone houses. Group of children playing marbles. There is a dispute and loud screaming rises, amid a general show of belligerency. Mrs. Jores runs out to quell the disturb ance.
 Mrs. Jones Mercy, Whatever is the matter. Bertie White, what are you making such a."

I was lying down reading when ! heard he wcrsC commotion in the street and just as I got to the window heard that poor little Bertie White scream out something about shooting and he was holding his hands to his eyes, Mrs. Jones is so heartless she has made him walk into the house instead of carrying him. Those dreadful small boys-they all ran away instantly No I don't know who shot him or who had the gIln--people are SO dreadfully careless nowadaysi The idea of letting a child have a weapon with which he can maim and kill! Why, Bertie may be blinded for life, if he doesn't die of it! Oh, I am so -excitedl"

THE NEW TARIFFs

It would undoubtedly puzzle a Phil edelphia lawyer to tell just what this Downward revision of the tariff amounts to. The duty has been ad- Ranced on many things; and the im- porters who had goods at sea about the time the vote was taken strained every nerve to get their cargoes into port before the law went into effect, not to lose money, but to save it.. The most that is said for it in the house of it's friends is that consider ing the multitude of interests at stake. the best that could be expect cd has been done.
 One body of manufacturers, the producers of newspapers, are cer- tainly dissatisfied by reason of the small concession made in the wood pulp and print paper schedule. Per haps no other body of manufacturers has been hit harder than the news paper makers. All they will have to do is to grin and bear it.

the general use of the picture post card has made the American public more than ever aware of that fact, indeed, these cards are now quite gen. orally preferred for all but business purposes. In spite of the ridicule heaped upon them, they are often mar vellously good and show what really artistic results may now be obtained by cheap processes. The government will not go into the picture business of course. But there is no reason why it should not issue cards of good qual- ity and attractive to the eye. The ex- isting card fulfils neither of these re- quirements.-ProYidence Journal
