The Cost Of Gambling.

The Italian government does not hesi-
tate to publish the statistics about its
system OF lotteries. Last year the peo-
pie invested in them over 100000. OF
this, the government kept a little more
than half for its revenue and for ex-
pense Of administration. The winning
buyers Of tickets received less than half.
But that is only part OF the story
It appears that the gambling instinct
is coincident with ignorance Thus in
Como, where Il per cent Of the dwellers
are nliterate. the average expenditure
for lottery tickets is % cents per in
habitant in year. In Naples, where "a
per cent are illiterate, this investment
scars to $3.50 per capita. It is the boast
Of the government that these lotteries are
honestly conducted. II that be true, and
II investors get back less than half their
ventures. what is the percentage won by
fortunate" gamblers in this country?
There are no statistics upon which 10
base an accurate answer But it has
been calculated that in one game IN
Chicago the odds were such that II
ten men with SO each should "sit
IN" during one hundred turns Of the
card, every one Of them would be
broke" even if the game were ION the
square" It IS said also that the odds on
horse-racing are so nicely calculated that
the chances Of winning are even less.
Perhaps experience. as in other forms
Of folly. is the most thorough school
master in gambling, II the dearest. But
the Italian statistics seem TO prove that
ignorance and stupidity are character
istic Of those who persistently WOO the
false goddess OF chance. The evil OF
lotteries, however honestly" conducted.
IS the same as the evil OF all forms OF
gambling; that is. the stimulation Of the
desire 20 gain without rendering an hon
orable equivalent. The sin goes back to
the inhibition Of the Decalogue: Thou
shalt not covet" Not money. but the
love Of money. is the root OF evil.

Well. one would hope so. anyway The
moon-it may he inhabited despite astro-
nomical doubts-would certainly seem TO
be entitled to as much by way of reci-
procity. II not otherwise. Earth owes a
great debt to the moonlight. It has
brought much genuine pleasure to beings

Man Is Not Exclusive I'm Organizing
sham engagements.
From the Chicago Tribune.
The pugnacity OF ants leads them tc
amuse themselves during long intervals
OF peace by sham battles. They rise upon
their back feet. wrestle seize each other
by the jaws. antennae. or legs. mount on
each others backs, roll over and over,
and engage in other antics.
No injury is ever inflicted in these COM
bats. Neighboring communities OF ants
are prone TO engage in wars which con-
tlnue through weeks and months and
usually end with the annihIstion OF the
weaker community. Mixed colonies are
rare. AS a rule. declares Prof. X. Esche-
rich. no outsider, even OF the same spe-
cies. Is permitted to enter the nest. The
founding OF a colony is a tremendous
task. and many queens evade II by enter
ing small colonies OF other species. where
they either become adopted or kill the
natives and take possession OF the work
ers' pupae.
The mixed colony thus produced be-
comes a pure colony Of the queens spe-
cies after the workers have died of. un-
less the supply OF slaves is maintained by
stealing pupae from neighboring COM
munities. This is done by a number
OF species which maintain permanently
mixed colonies. The slave drivers adopt
various tactics IN their raids. some spe-
cies marching in compact armies, others
in scattering detachments.
The most notorious slave raider IS the
big red Amazon ant, a born soldier. with
sword-like mandibies which are murder
ously effective in warfare. but useless FOR
other purposes. So the AmazOns are COM
PEELED 10 rely on their slaves for all
household labor and building, the care OF
the young. and SO on. They cannot even
feed themselves.
In some species the degeneration pro-
duced by slave-holding goes so far that
the masters are helpless parasites on
their slaves. Though these masters are

class being no longer produced, they are

The Popular Verdict.

Some days ago Booker T. Washington
and Jack Johnson attended a meeting in
Chicago in the interests Of the education
Of the negro. According to the reports,
Jack J. got the majority Of the applause,
although. before his presence was dis
covered. Mr.. Washington was arousing
considerable enthusiasm.
In reading Of the incident. we are in
spired to remark. What an evanescent
thing is fame! How easily got (some-
times). and how easily gone," Here is
Booker Washington. who. as far as
we know. has done a great deal for the
colored race. Here is Jack johnson,
whose claim to recognition comes from his
ability to hand out wallop. They meet
and Jack Johnson has all the best Of the
popular recognition. The question nat
urally arises: Was Booker jealous Of his
beiligerent friend?
We imagine he was a big enough man
not to be. II. In that brief hour Of
trial, he had a wee desire 20 be, he had
only TO think OF many incidents very
similar TO his which are furnished by the
records Of history. There was the instance
OF the eminent man who. on HIS death
bed, remarked: 'T have loved justice and
hated iniquity; therefore I die in exile. -
Evidently. from the tone Of his voice, he
was feeling somewhat disgusted with the
rewards OF virtue. And there is a num-
Der Of other examples which might be
quoted. all psinting to the general les
son, that the man Of the hour often has
the inside track over the man Of the
day
After ALL in such a case, it is the
quality OF the applause that should be-
taken account OF. 1t is much easier 70
grow noisy over a man who steps cleverly
about the ring than 1t is to grow noisy
over his contemporary who steps inteni-
gently about a public question The one
is difficult TO understand, and must be

his story on the front OF his shirt and

Public Opinion.

From the Dayton News
There has never been q time in the his
tory Of the world when public opinion
played such an important part as It does
az this time. The fact is being recognized
in every section OF the country-in every
section Of all countries. indeed. and, when
cnce recognized. It will be all the better
for all concerned.
But great as IS this power Of public
opinion, ii has not as yet reached its
limit. II will not reach its limit until
every public officer who fails to do his
duty Is ostracised. until every law that is
made favors all Of the people instead Of
part OF the people: until the world dis
arms, and settles its disputes by arbitra-
ucn: until capital and labor cease their
struggles the one against the other be-
cause there viii be no longer a conten-
ton. Public opinion viii come into its
own, but II has not done so up to this
time. 1t Is lazy thing. often a thought
less thing. this public opinion. Man does
not always take the trouble. nor think. to
do right; not until he is awakened. But,
awakened. he acts. and the newspapers OF
the world are doing what they can TO
arouse him. IN the end that he may re-
alize his power and bring about the mil
