GAMBLING ON ELECTIONS.

Reports are current these days Oh
wasers and bets being hazarded on
the result Of the election tomorrow
Where there is so much talk OF bets
and so many oTers TO wager on the
result of the contest il is almost
foregone conclusion that there is bet
ting. Gambling in any form is lnde-
fensible and reprehens!ble- It Is
thoroughly demoralizing and breeds
an uelv brood. No good comes Of 1t.
And gambling on election results is
narticularly harmful Men viii wager
a sum on the result Of popular con
test and then contribute largely to
campaign fund to corrupt voters to
render the wager safe. No small per
cent of the large sums that are con-
tributed in almost every election 70
"persuade" voters comes from those
who are protecting" a wager. This
nroyes the baneful results of election
betting. The offense effects the en-
tire body polite, it does not end with
those who make the wager. Like
poker playing and gambling on horse
races and other similar vices, the
losers of the bets are not the only nor
the chief sufferers from the offense.
Gambling on elections is just as
much a crime in Tennessee as wager
inc money on a throw of the dice or
a horse race. 1t is more generally
tolerated and is frequent practlce
among those who would scorn to
hazard a cent on the lower forms OF
gambling, but it is nevertheless an
offense against the State and the law
should be enforced. If the officials
are alert and determined they can
easily secure convictions for betting
on elections and a few fines for the
offense in this town and county would
end the practice.
That this species of gambling can
be broken up was proved by Judge
Higgins in one of the counties of his
Circuit. After an especially heated
race for the Legislature rumors came
to the ears of the Judge of gambling
on the result and he gave the grand
iurv, which convened shortly after
ward. a special charge on the subject
with the result that dozen or more
Indictments were found. 1t is true
that some Of the prominent citizens
were in the list. but they all looked
alike to judge Higgins and he imposed
fines and costs that enriched the coun-
ty execheauer to the tune of nearly
$1,000.
What was done in that county can
be done here Because some of those
who gamble on the election are prom
inent and influential should make no
difference with the officers. The
same activity to enforce this law
should be shown by the police and the
county officials that they display in
going after the poor negro crap shoot
ers. If there has been gambling in
this election the officers can doubtless
secure the evidence. Make the same
law for the election wager that is
made for the dive gambler.

It is gratifying to know that the
wheat acreage of this county is being
increased Let us hope that will be
the case all over the country, Unless
there is substantial increase in the
wheat acreage this country will soon
be an importer instead of an exporter

CRIME A DISEASE
SAYS STOMACH Man
Bad Digestion Warps Mental
Attitude and Lowers
{. Moral Tone
Eating Too Much More Apt to
Nourish Body Poorly Than
Eating Too Little

Is crirne.a disease? Does morality
hinge on the mentality. and is a man
good or wicked according as his health
is normal er his stomach is out of
order? Cooper, the stomach man. as
he. is called in the east. claims that
this is true. He was meeting callers
yesterday at the Owl drug store in the
Phelan building. He said:
- believe that 80 per cent of all i'll
health is caused by stomach trouble.
And 1 believe the stomach affects the
mentality and that the condition of a
mans thinking apparatus controls his
conduct as a citizen. Experts on
criminology prove by statistics that
practically all crimes are committed
by individuals of weak mentality and
poorly nourished bodies. Medical rec
ords show that a disordered mental
attitude results from a disordered
nervous system.
"A man doesn't have to eat too
little to have poorly nourished body.
A poorly nourished body is far more
apt to result from eating. too much.
A man stuffs himself with rich food.
ldllS 10 take exercise as nature IN
tended. and then gets dopey. droopy,
tired and half sick. He wonders why.
IT'S as simple as A. B, c. With such a
mass of food in his stomach it be-
comes overloaded won't work and he
is poorly nourished He has bad
dreams, gets a warped view of every
thing. The whole world seems to be
against him. If this has been going
on from his earliest babyhood he be-
comes criminal.
Il have medicine that 1 know will
put stomach in normal. healthy
condition in foursto six weeks time. I
have talked with thousands of people
since l have been in San Francisco and
many thousands more in the east be-
fore / came here. Not one person out
Of 20 knew what was the matter with
themselves. 1 know that all this
chronic ill health is caused primarily
by stomach trouble and nothing else
also know that the preparation came
here to introduce will. tone ND the
digestive organs, and know that
mighty few persons can be sick with a
digestive apparatus in perfect shape
One of those who had thanked Cooper
for what his medicine had done for
them was NJ. Henry Meyers of 94S Mis-
sion street. He said:
For two years I have suffered tor
lures beyond description. / thought
my trouble was catarrh of the stomach.
and l have been treated by various
at different times for
stomach trouble. 1 have been told
many times that nothing could be done
for me. | have tried everything 1 had
almost. given up hope when / heard of
Cooper He gave me some of his
stomach medicine, and now I am a well
man. l am willing to give all the
credit to this mans remedies. They are

SHOWS POETRY IN
INDIAN BASkETRY
George Wharton James Speaks
on a Cruelty Misiudged
People

The Poetry and Symbolism of: In
dian Basketry' was the subject of an
interesting lecture by George Wharton
James yesterday AFTERNOON before the
members of TO Kalon, the address be-
ing illustrated by an exhibit of Indian
baskets from the speakers collection.
He began by saying that it was al
ways pleasure to him to speak of a
people who were very dear and in
teresting to him and who were so
cruelly misjudged. The baskets, he
said, were revelations of the human
soul-revelations of a. wonderful peo-
pie who have never been understood,
always been belittled, always lied
about, always demoralized and have
never been appreciated
He then went on to tell of the alb
solute injustice of the general opinion
of the Indian people, and said that
in Speaking of the attitude of the
United States government toward the
Indians his Indignation was so great
that he might use Unfit language if he
tried to describe it.
Before the lecture Mrs. Charles kerr
sang very delightfully."- Dream o., Day

structures are compactly placed; there
is no long. tiresome walk from one TO

two buildings standing in cluster. of
trees to the left first meet the eye.
One is where the administration of
the exposition is conferred and the other

To the right and across Puget plaza

contains valuable art display loaned
from famous collections all over the

This is the note John Patterson

she was to have attended a meeting of

she had TO give up the idea of doing
SO. Young Carroll started out to be-

after he had got fairly started. A few

living for himself in order to furnish

His father, who was in the east at

there was a similar check. Also the
