Mechanical means for operating

THE MAD RACE FOR WEALTH
Stock Gamblers MisappIy Funds That

We once knew a professional gam
bier who habitually lost In front of
other mems tables what he made be-
hind his own How do you account for
that? He would sit behind his own
tables night after night, claiming his
sure percentage from the gamblers on
the other side, and when he had thus
accumulated $4,000 or 100000, he
would go and lose 1t all in one sitting
on the wrong side of another mans
table.
Most OF the scandals affecting stock

why In these cases the men who mis-

One morning not long ago there

who, as he perceived the doctor just

with patient, exclaimed:
"Doctorl Doctor! Just one mo-

hall, says Harpers Weekly. His ex-
element soon subsidized. for he read
the morning paper through, glanced
through a number OF magazines. and
played awhile with the Doctors cat.
Then, after a period of half an hour,
the doctor reappeared. and, in an air
of great condescension, said to the
erstwhile excited person:

The Cost of Courts.

The existence of a shortage-not a
has called attention anew to the fact
taat whereas old fashioned justice, 20
years ago, cost the people of Vermont
100000 or so each year, we now find
the very considerable appropriation OF
$780, 900 insufficient. The blame for
the shortage comes upon Act No. 176
of the laws of 1908, which provides as
follows:
Section Whenever a person is
convicted of a crime, not a felony,
which may be punished by imprison-
ment and the sentence of imprison-
ment, either primary or alternative, is
imposed, if the minimum term of tne
sentence as imposed shall not exceed
year, the sentence shall be that the
respondent be confined at hard labor
for the term of the sentence in the
county Jail of the county where the
offense was committed.
This, in practice, has so filed the
county jails vita prisoners that could
not be profltably employed that the
appropriation has fallen far below the
immediate needs and the recent awk-
ward and discreditable situation made
possible, which required a private In
dividual to furnish a large sum of
money to permit the bills of the de-
partment to be paid and the business
to proceed with confidence.
This, however, is not all the trou-
BILE. The raising of salaries all along
t'ne line had something to do with it.
Take $4,000 increase in the salaries
of Supreme and Superior judges, $3.50
increase in the salaries of states at
torneys, 5000 in the salaries of county
clerks, $500 increase in the salaries Of
judges of probate and the placing OF
sheriffs on a salary basis, with civil
| fees beside, represents a lump in.
| crease in expense of over $4,000. Can
any one say that the public needs re
quired this increase? Is justice any
cheaper for the Individual?
