IL IsTHMIAN REPuRLIc.

There is just about enough country
and just about enough people for one
good republic in Central America
There is not enough for two or three
II is Just possible the removal Of Ze-
laya is the first step in a reorganization
for which the Latins have been looking
ever since the Spaniards were driven
away. There is enough strength in the

into a strong and cohesive government.
to place at its head a man wise enough
to administer the affairs Of all, and
honest enough TO let the people keep
the fortunes which they make from
their marvelously rich land--tre treas
ures Of their Astounding resources.
It needs no further proof that peace
is impossible so long as there are many
little governments there. They will
quarrel and fight so long as their petty
provinces are divided. with varied
names and one condition; with rival
leaders, and one hope. They win be

WOMEN AS GAMBLERS.

The objection TO The woman as a
gambler is that she always wants to
win. And if you insist that the same
may be said Of men, it shows that you
don't know the game. Many men play
for the pleasure they get out Of IT,
They don't care TO win. Usually, they
lose. because always there Is the man
IN the game who is playing on cold
blooded principles, and ne doesn't pro-
pose to let anything slip which he can
secure.
But there are no FUN players"
among the women. They are oonsti-
tuted differently. Because they are
women, because they have so many Of
the character traits tina, verge on the
heavenly. they cannot dabhls In these
smaller and lower things, and maintain
their position as women.
They don't like to lose. Ii is against
all feminine Instincts. Il IL against the
natural conservatism Of the sex. II IS
= direct violation Of the feminine char
acteristio. Women want something TO
show for EFFORT expended. They see no
profit In q pastims that is no more
than pasttme. If they give effort and
endeavor and nerve force and calCula-
ton and time, they want something
for Il. Therefore, they are bad losers.
The thing Is observed by eastern
writer's in the matter OF gambling With
shares On the stock market. They hear
that Il is easy TO make fortunes in
Wall street, and they ask their men
friends to give them a chance to make
SONS money. When they have invest
ed, they expect to win. And woe to the
man who gives them a tip that costs
them money. They cannot under
stand that, and they can never forgive
the mistaken monitor.
The same thing is observed in their
card parties where prizes are played
for. Women want TO win, and the
game is most popular which gives the
greatest number a chance TO quit with
something more than they had at the
beginning.
No one is going to quarrel with the
fact. No one is going to bewail the
tendency. Women are not game losers.
and II is a blessed thing they are not
whenever they set where they can bet
and lose and smile-Heaven take care
of the human racei

is A SCANDAL ALWAYS
NECESSARY.

There is a curious Quirk in the men
tai and moral makeup Of certain peO-
pie who get into active relief work at
times Of great disastsT-a quirk which
makes robbers Of them. The fact has
been proven so often that fair-minded
men turn from the horror Of sudden
death to the more discouraglng horror
OF infamy among the living.
The thing was never more glaFingly
illustrated than at the time OF the
earthquake on the island Of the Medi-
terTanean-unless this recent fight
among the rescue forces at the st. Paul
NINE near Cherry. Illinois, be a more
astounding example.
There the organized body Of the
miners and the organized bodies Of the
relief workers are quarrelling with
each other as to which shall handle the
very handsome sum Of money that has
been contributed by the people OF the
United States. The relief people de-
olars that the miners themselves will
not permit the mining laws 70 be en-
forced. The miners declare they could
apply the contributed relief with dou-
bic the encien0y al half the expense.
And they are charging each other
with misappropriation of funds IN a
manner that shows intimate knowledge
Of erookedness on bo.h sides.
Writers say there Is an especially hot
he'll for certain offenders. There surely
must be an especially base sort Of hui
mainly which lives on horror-by get
ting the place Of distributor Of aims
You cannot punish the rascals without
cutting on the supplies. That would
stop them most effectively. And. also
it would put an END to the work OF re-
lief. For there are hundreds who need
help. It is nightly disoouragiEg 70 re-
feet that this relief cannot be granted
without making theft possible TO the
ghouls who manage TO ofticiate as
almoners
From a distance, and ia the special
case OF the miners at Cherry it would
seem that the labor bodies themselves
can best handle the relief funds. Surely
they are just as honest as the charity
workers; and they certainly have a
better knowledge Of the needs Of the
dependent and the way to reach them.
But cannot Americans devise some
better way Of helping the afflicted
when horrors come? Is it always
necessary to pile the Ossa of thunder
on the Pellion Of sudden death?

GOOD FOR THE FREE
KINDERGARTEN.

Those women who conduct the free
kindergarten have only anticipated the
expression Of the Christmas spirit They
have assembled their youthful charges
and made them happy. That may not
have been a difficult thing. but it is a
blessed thing
There will be. in twenty, IN thirty, In
fifty pears. men and women some
where N the world who will remember
that on a Friday afternoon in nine
teen-nine they gathered about a
Christmas tree in a Salt Lake meeting
house, and there received presents from
three women who had been kind to
them. and who make the season a little
brighter and little better because OF
the spirit OF Christ abroad in the land.
That Is worth a good deal The
women who managed the little affair
will grow old and pass away They
viii so the way Of all the earth. But
In every day Of their lives. however
long these may be. they viii be a little
richer because Of the fact that the boys
and girls OF the free Kindergarten have
something happy to remember through
their work.
They have done a good thing. Let
us hope that the scope Of their work
may be widened; that their success in
the past may be appreciated in the
future; and that when another Christ
mas season shall roll around they will
be only SO much more happy as the
widening circles Of their service to
childhood should make them.

Either the president Of the Red Cross
society Is mistaken in his estimate OF
the extent Of the white slave evn, or
there are grave doubts about this
being a Christian country. Here is a
clipping from the California Christian
Advocate:
The president Of the Red Cross so
ciety estimates that the white slav,
trade IN this country has S540, 900. 600
invested, It required 81. 900 of these uu-
fortunate girls annually to Ill the
ranks of those who ole and ere sent t.
The asylum. The annual cost Is about
l126,000, 600 to maintain the supply o.
victims for this awful mill of vice
The average life lease Of this army o.
unfortunate women is FIVE years.
It isn't a topic that lends itself easily
to comment Maybe that is the reason
it has gained so strong a hold, so sur,
a footing. People naturally are disin-
clined to discuss the details Of a prac-
tice so offensive, a business so essen
italy odious.
Congress IS asked by President Taft
IN his message, to take steps looking to

which make doubt difficult If not i'm
possible. There seems no room for
question. The evil is frightfUl.
And admitting much, even If not al
Of the charges Of the reformers to b.
true, the question at the beginning OF
this article will be answered by the
success or the failure of the nation &c

punish the people who have been its
agents.
