the Roosevelt panic. and on general
conditions IN the United States. The
Times says:

words OF Mr.. Hartman give the clue
20 the Importance of his embarking in
terview. Before him the theorists had
spoken, and there was an exceptional
agreement among the highest of them
in a diagnosis Of the cause of our trou-
bles in disagreement with what Mr..
Hartman now tells US. The econo-
mists. who were mere observers, had
by exhaustion of capital Mr.. Harri-
man dissents, as an actor in great
events. There was capital enough, but
there was so little confidence that the
people would not use their money in
the ordinary methods Of enterprise. The
theorists support their position BY re-
marking upon the similarity OF eondf-
tons throughout the world. and attrib-
ute TIE phenomena to the working of
like causes everywhere. But 1t is a

FIGURING THE COST.

Two weeks Of horse racing, with
bookmaking as an accompaniment
have shown what profit or loss there is
IN It for the community that supports
the game. So far the figures all show
on the loss side for Salt Lake. not only
in dollars and cents. but in the demon
alization Of that class which loses
money II cannot afford to lose. the class
that does most TO support the book
makers.
on its commercial side. practically
every merchant. banker and business
man in the city knows that the cost to
the community is very great, and that
the returns, if there are any at all, are
spectacle of a state which permits
gambling on races when every other
western state has Outlawed it, Califor-
MIA learned at enormous cost that the
racing game is a crime. that it drains
dry every community that tolerates il,
that it promotes embezzlement, forgery,
breaches Of trust and defalcations; and
California drove the race gamblers from
the state as a matter of self-protection.
Utah. on the other hand, has invited
the gamblers here and is supporting
them in princely style. with the state
officials as hosts. For the benefit of
the bookmakers. the legislature refused
to pass a law making gambling on
races a crime, so that Utah today las
no statute under which such betting
can be punished or prevented. Not
only that: the state is getting part Of
the revenue from the game. and shares
the responsibility for its results. 1t is
in open alliance with the gamblers.
It has been said that the races are "a
good thing" for the city and state. Pos
sibly so; but if they do any good it Is
in the lesson which will be driven in
eventually, that gambling is a crime,
that no community can tolerate it open
ly and encourage it without suffering
a heavy penalty, and that neither the
city nor the state can long endure the
financial and moral loss the races in
fiict
Meanwhile, it will be observed that
the state officials who invited the races
here after they were driven from Cali
fornia, have offered no word of defense
for their action; but they continue to
accept their pro rata Of the gambling
profits.

Chicago Inter Ocean.)

Chicago Inter OCEAN,
Few games have undergone so many
changes in so short a time as our old
friend euchre. Fifty years ago euchre
was almost the national game in this
country. On all the steamboats, Of the
western rivers euchre was the standby,
and such old books on gambling as
Green's always refer to it.
About twenty years ago people began
to be dissatisfied with the old two and
four hand game of euchre, their tastes
having been brOadened by an aCquaint-
ance with duplicate whist and its intri-
cacies. The first change came in the
form Of what was knowing as seven
hand euchre, played with the full pack,
like whist: a variety which is still very
popular in many parts OF the south and
west.
Like most Of our modern games seven
hand euchre owes its vogue to the intro
duction of the bidding element. Each of
the seven players receives seven cards
from the full pack of fifty-three. includ-
ing the joker, four remaining for the
widow. No trump is turned, the privi-
lege of naming the trump being sold to
the highest bidder
Each player mas one bid, and he must
name the suit he would ike for trumps
and the number of points he thinks he
can make. The highest bidder takes
the widow ana discards four cards in
its place He then passes markers to
those At the table that he selects as his
partners for that deal. # he wants any
partners. 1t is usual to select those who
have the lowest scores, so as not to
advance those who are already high.
If the bidder undertakes to win five
tricks out of the seven, he is entitled
to two partners only, and the three play
against the remaining four If he has
bid six or seven tricks, he can have
three partners, and they play against
the three who are left out
II he thinks he can make seven with
out any partners he can bid 10; but he
must bid it before seeing the widow
If he feels strong enough to win al
seven tricks without either widow or
partners lie can bid 20, which is the
top.
The bidder always leads for the first
trick. All he can score is the amount
OF his bid. even if he takes more. He
and his partners all score the same
amount; five for five tricks, six for six
and seven for seven. five being the low
est bid allowed. When he has no part
ners he scores 10 TO 20. as the case may
be, provided he has bid it, If he has
not bid it he must take partners. If
the bidders side fails each adversary
scores as many points as were bid. This
is better than setting the bidders side
back.
In sevenshand euchre the selection of
the partners was found to be too much
Of 4 lottery, as no one could tell which
ones held the good cards unless bids
had been made This led to numerous
schemes for getting hold Of the part
ners who could be of some assistance to
the bidder When the Australian game
of call ace euchre came along It was
jumped at and the seven hand game
was kept for large numbers Of players
In the Australian variety of suchre
it sis not really the ace that. is

responding happily to q treatment
adapted to correct the troubles as Mr..
Hartman describes them. There was
nothing new in the antagonism to the
trusts in the crisis OF 1907 that was a
twenty-year-old irritation. But there
was a great deal which was new in
the legislation affecting the railways.
They were Disseminated against more
seriously than they had ever discriml-
mated against their customers. There
was an excess of new laws. and new
teeth were put into old statutes. The
consequence was that the railways suf-
fered more seriously than any other
section of the Industrial community
The recuperation among the industrials
is one OF the wonders Of the present
moment. The recuperation of the banks
is an almost forgotten wonder. 1t was
only locally. and for local reasons. that
depositors mistrusted the banks. whose
record for endurance under trial chal-
lenges admiration Elsewhere the banks
were swollen with deposits and re-
serves which might have alIeviated the
nations trial at a time Of alleged eX-
haustion Of liquid capital if it had been
available here, as freely as our re-
sources were used for the relief of
the country banks.
This narrows the field down to the
railways, and it must be admitted both
that they have lost ground to make up
to regain conditions as good as their
own two years ago. OF as good as 9TH
er undertakings now The best hope
Of their catching up lies in the fact
that they are likely to be allowed TO
do so. It is precisely the communi-
ties which were most savage in their
attacks upon the railways which srf-
fered most severely thereby and are
now most repentant.
Mr.. Harriman's optimism is therefore
justified to those who agree with his
His views regarding the
crops are more In the nature of proph-
ecy, but there is not the slightest pres
