ONLY ONE ARGUMENT,

In San Francisco the reform admin
istration abolished by ordinance the
gambling slot machines which had
been fixtures in saloons and cigar
stores. After the gang regained con-
troll the slot machine manufacturers
and promoters started out to get
revocation OF the ordinance. One of
their agents interviewed a saloonist
who had grown wealthy and by reason
of his saloon ownership had become
politically prominent. The saioonist
was strongly favorable to repeal.
'sWhy." said he, there amt no argu-
ment against them except the moral
one"
The Frisco saloon keeper has the
viewpoint adopted in many places by
other persons ordinarily more entitled
to honor from the nature of their bus
mess than is he. The moral argument
Is considered after the cash account is
consulted The difference between the
saloonkeeper and the others is in po-
sition less than in character. Morally
they belong with him. Socially they
ostracise him.
It doesn't make much difference
about social station, business or vo-
cation so long as men partner together.
Those who exploit an outlawed bust
uess for the profit of high rent or other
reasons of self interest are part Of
the business Those who serve the
interests of crooks by active assistance
Or by silence which has a purchase
price are on equality with those they
serve. Perhaps not legally, but NOR
ally. It IS the one argument which
condemns them, the moral argument.

INSURANCE En&ln1erlp8J.
"A burning hotel IS q common sight
in the United States and Americmff
in the United States and Canada. TWO
hundred and fifty communities have
been the scenes Of hotel fires since Jan.
1, 1909. In some places several tires
occurred. On one winter day the fire
departments Of five cities fought hotel
confla grations. Twenty or more OF
the disasters had death rolls and lists
Of injured. Men, women and children
persisted, or were crippled, yet nearly
every one Of the casualties could have
been averted. The summer hotel is no.
torious kindling, and in the compila-
tions that Insurance Engineering sub
mits, on other pages, for scrutiny by
the American people. will be found the
names Of many hostelries of the sum
mer' type. Unfortunately, history re-
peats itself with respect to hotel fires
as well as to other things. Hence scores
OF persons are destined to die in burn
ing hotels before 1910 passes. Hotel
perils constitute local question in ev-
cry state. territory and province OF
the United States and Canada. The
list of hotel-f fire cities (see pages 2S5
to 305) demonstrates that, with
pIOOl lHSL IL La IpS ~1ccth
20 per cent of the fires occur between
9 D. M, and s a. M when guests are
abed. The night panic, fatality and
casualties in Dubuque, Iowa, a few
days ago, depicted family tragedy
in this instance, one of small proper
tons. Nothing will diminish the fire
perils in hotels except good construc-
ton, adequate fire protection on the
premises, a fire alarm system in the
house for quick communication with
the fire department, a local alarm sys-
tenn for arousing guests, non combust-
ible stairways, an efficient night

portable fire escapes of reliable types.

Hotel propTie tors must stop taking
chances. When the public is aroused to
the point of demanding them reforms
will come. Commercial travellers, who
spend a large part of their lives in
hotels. who have written to Insurance
reserveilr condemn the
average hotel as q danger ous fire-trap.
Much may be accomplished in the way

hotel owners will interest themselves,

lions, easily within their power. in

TIE RIGHT TO STRIKE.

A forceful article on The Right to
Strike: Its Limitation" by Joseph j..
Feely. in the North American Review
for May, will command the attention of
all interested in the labor problem.
The writer deals with the subject in its
legal aspect, and, after stating what
the findings of thee ourts have been,
he says
First: What is the purpose of the
combination? (a) Is it lawful pur-
pose? OBJ Is it an unlawful purpose?
IF the combination is found to be for
an unlawful purpose the court will en-
join the carrying out of such purpose
by any means whatever Second: II
the combination is found 10 be for
lawful purpose. are the means used or
designed to be used to carry the COM
bination into effect lawful or unlawful?
If unlawful means are to be used the
courts will interfere TO prohibit such
use. The so-called right to strike Is
thus seen to resolve itself instead
merely into a right 10 strike in order
TO attain justifiable end. Our courts,
especially those of Massachusetts. the
only state in which the questions relat-
ing TO this right have been considered
in any extensive way, in passing upon
cases involving the right to strike fol-
low these general principles and seek
to determine whether the purpose of
the strike is one which reasonable
man would consider a justifable end in
view of all the surrounding circum-
stances. keeping in mind the co-equal
rights of others and the general
grounds of public policy"

The Flute of Twilight.


II you've ever heard the thrill
OF the lonesome whippoorwill
If you've ever heard the calling
OF his woodsong, rising, falling,
You have known the fairy music
On the shores of fairy night,
Where the fiddles of old sorrow
Join the flutes of evenlight.
II you've ever heard the trill
OF his whip poor, whip-poor- will;
If you've ever heard the ditty
OF his mournful cry of pity,
You have heard the magic meaning
OF the music Of the dusk,
Singing down TO seas of summer
On a breeze of April musk.
If you've ever heard him fill
All the night with ip-poor- will;
If you've heard his sob repeated
Till the hundredth time completed,
You have listened TO the dream
song
OF the night of dreaming love
Crying down enchanted easements
OF the woods to stars above.
If you've ever heard the thrill
OF the lonesome whipporwiN;
If you've ever heard the crying
OF this lovelorn spirit signing,
You have been in happy regions
Where the peerie dance and
and sing
And the flutes of sylvan sadness
Fill the nights of fairy spring.

[Guthrie Center Guthrian.l


Wilbur Crafts of Washington, D. c.,
writer and lecturer of note, is writing
letters to the ministers of the district,
begging them to support, and work
for the denomination of Judge Smith.
AS reason for this advice. he says
that Judge Smith voted to do away
with the canteen of the army and for
other temperance reforms.
The Guthrian would suggest to Mr..
Crafts. that Council Bluffs. the home
city of Judge Smith, has been motor
iously the most vicious violator of the

of any city in the state except Daven-
port. Gambling dens, and the red light
district for years ran under the protec-
ton of the city, upon payment of a
stipulated sum paid to the chief Of po-
lice.
This condition Of law violation con-
tinued, receiving tacitly the approval
of Judge Smith, until Attorney General
Dyers began prosecution, against the
Illegal saloon, and forced them to COM
ply with the requirements Of the law.
He is now prosecuting the chief Of po-
lice OF that city, for receiving money

The MARYLAND road law provides
state aid for the construction of mod

$500, 900 annually, one-half the cost OF
the roads constructed under this law
to be paid by the state. This work

of a chief engineer, engineer inspec-

is made. The annual appropriation
for state aid is taken from the general
revenue of the state license fees, etc),
there being no general tax for this
purpose.

for 1910 being about 100000.

wEs1oN's GREAT PERFORMANCE.

In these days of the auto, the flying
and the presto change method Of doing
things in general, walking doesn't es-
pecialy commend itself as mode of
long distance travel. Eighty-fve days
or so from Los Angeles to New York
may be going some" afoot. but with
nose of those who cross the continent
the burning regret is that is can't be
done in less than eighty-five hours.
But Edward Payson Weston did not
set out on his long tramp to demon
strate the commercial possibilities o.:
pedestrianisrn. He is to be credited
with a better purpose, Or at leas: with
a better result. He may have cared
more merely to do the multitude but
the message he has carried anyway
1t is worth something to the cause Of
good DIGESTION and strong limbs to
know that az ~ man who for forty
years has been q long distance walker
has accomplished this feat. And don't
miss the point. Weston didn'. ride on
street cars and loaf on the corner all
his life and then tackle this job. No,
his performance is the elimination of a
life Of physical activity out Of doors.
The secret of Weston's success he
himself ascribes to clean living and alb
stention from stimulants AMI intoxi-
cantS. He has been making ljEg
walks for more than forty years In
1876. he walked from Portland, Maine,
to Chicago. a distance Of 1925 miles
in one hour and twenty minutes less
than twerty-six days. In 1907, forty
ed his feat and covered 1,545 miles IN
twenty-four days and ninteen hours,
thus beating his record Of 1857 by
twenty-six hours.
From the inception Of his heroic
tramp which began on Feb. 1 asst
at Los Angeles, the spriglltly veteran
has found his progress across the coun-
try a triumphal march. Children ard
country folk cheered him in the small
er towns, while in the larger cities car
avans of automobiles followed afoot.
The mayors of such cities as Toledo
and Buffalo nonored him with BAN
quets; at Batavia, y. Y, the head Of
the municipality waited for MIN al
the roadside and pinned a gold medal
on his dripping raincoat. Everywhere
the spectacle of the brave old man
trudging along undaunted by wind or
storm won all hearts. Frequently.
after hard walk Of forty or fifty miles
during the day, Weston has stepped
out upon the platform Of some local
opera house and delivered lecture on
his experiences Of the road. Often
he has trudged the highways by light
| swinging lantern; again and again
he has gone day and night with inter-
walls OF only four Or five hours sleep.
Always, however, his steady stride has
brought him to the coveted goal At
the appointed time.
