The penalty imposed upon four others
is somewhat less.
Gambling possesses a strange fas-
cination for most men, whether they
go against the wheel. the bank or the
bookies. Under normal conditions,
when the games are not brace and the
races are run on the square, they al
ways lose if they stay long enough. In
a crooked deal or race. of course. they
are dispossessed of their wealth instant
er and the agony is over. The difference
is the same as that between the man
who dies lingering death and one who
is put out of his misery in the
3winkling of an eye. The moral Of it is,
don't gamble. II you do, you'll lose.
whether you get a run for your money
or are defrauded like an ordinary
everyday sucker. This is a sure tip.

A srALWARr PREsIpENT.

William H. Taft has now occupied
the presidential chair a little over one
year. At the outset of his administra-
ton he summoned Congress in ex-
traordinary session for the purpose of
revising the tariff. Revision was ac-
complished under the direction of those
best fitted for the work, and the result
is satisfactory. The country is in a
highly prosperous condition, while the
revenues are steadily increasing. There
is no danger of disastrous tariff war
with other nations owing to the max
imum and minimum provisions Of the
Payne-Aldrich act. No wonder the
President upholds the work of Congress
and proclaims it the best tariff law
ever enacted. There was no ''perfldy
and dishonor" in its making. such as
happened during the Cleveland admin
istration.
President Taft is a party man. He
was elected as party man. and will
continue so to the end of his admin
istration. The Republican platform set
forth certain things to be accomplished
in case the party was victorious at the
polls Victory having been achieved.
President Taft is endeavoring to carry
out the pledges. There has been no at
tempt to dodge or shift the RESPONSE
bility, which he could easily do by sim
ply keeping quiet and allowing matters
to drift along. That isn't his nature.
Instead of folding his hands and wait
Ing for Congress to do the work. he
has taken up each and every plank OF
the Republican platform and insisted
upon its being written into the law of
the land. A party man, first, last and
all the time, and a sound and sensible
executive.
For obvious reasons. President Taft
has not expressed his opinion of the
insurgents. He probably has opinions
regarding them, strong ones still
claiming TO be Republican. they are ex-

THE USE OF THUNDER STORMS.

No one wants to invite the thunder
storm; but every one should remember
that such phenomena have their good
uses. They may kill donkey here and
there. They may burn a stack of clover
or split a hickory from twig TO root.
But after they are over the air is de-
liciously clear.
That struggle of congressman with
the rules committee at Washington may
make the timid dodge, and for a time
may blind with its brilliance and deafen
with its noise. But when it is all over
the Republican party will close I'D the
ranks and March on to a better victory
than would have been possible before.
And, incidentally, 1t would seem from
this distance that there is little warrant
for the clamor about "despotlsm," and
tyranny" when the House SO clearly
has the power to make any changes
that the House desires to make.

PEARY,s WORD DOUBTED.

Commander Peary's lecture bureau
manager has cancelled the southern en-
gagements of the Arctic explorer on
account of the frigid reception accord
ed him at Atlanta As a matter of
fact, there is a disposition on the part
of many people. in and out of Congress,
to put Peary In the same class with
Cook and discredit his assertions that
he reached the North Pole. The New
York Tires, which has faith in the
commander. while branding the doctor
as a rank impostor and prevaricator.
revives General Greely's complaint re.
garding the treatment his men received
after their return from the frozen
north. where so many of their COM
panions miserably persisted. In his
story entitled "Three Years of Arctic
Service" General Greedy says:
No man of the party has received
promotion, except such temporary ad-
vancement of my personal urging
could secure. Two men, with broken
health, have adventured their private
fortunes, and one, a most self-sacri-
ficing, soldierly, temperate, and loyal
man, lies as these lines are penned,
helpless in a city hospital, aided by
private charity, his pension not even
awardel
Even the meagre allowances originally
promised for Arctic service have not
been fully paid, and the widows of the
dead are generally as yet unrecognized.
Our great country in these days asks
not in vain for it's sons to venture their
lives for any idea which may subserve
its interests or enhance its greatness.
trust that posterity may never mourn
the decadence of that indomitable
American spirit which in this genera
ton fought out to the bitter end its
great civil war and made it seem an
easy thing in time of peace to pene-
trate the heart of Africa, to perish in
the Lena Delta. to die at Sabine, or to
attain the farthest north.
The friends of Commander Peary are
angry over the manner in which the
proposition to retire the explorer with
the rank and pay of rear admiral was
turned down by the House committee
on naval affairs. So the North Pole
controversy RACES once more with re-
newed intensity. DR.. Cook is headed
for home and has cabled for rooms in
a New York hotel. Another outburst
may be expected upon his arrival. The
good Lord deliver us.

AM ERIcAN THRIFT.

1t has always been claimed and gen.
orally accepted as a fact that the
American people were not frugal in
their manner of living or saving in
their habits. Perhaps the first count in
the indictment is true. In the matter
of saving money, however, the Amer
leans take precedence over all other
races in the world. Figures given by
the secretary of the savings bank sec
ton of the American Bankers associa-
ton show that the average deposit in
American savings banks is almost four
times as great as the average deposit
for Europe, Asia, Africa and Canada,
and that the average deposit, per capt.
ia, is almost six times greater in the
United States than in the portions of
the world mentioned. In his report the
secretary gives the total savings de-
posits in the world as $15,SS9, 672, OLA, and
of this enormous sum s5,67S, 1859 be-
longs to prudent and thrifty Ameri
billions for the world, more than thir-
teen billions is deposited with private
savings banks, while less than two bill
lions has been placed with the postal
savings banks of foreign countries.
1t is further shown that one Amer
lean out of every six of the total popu-
lation has money in a savings bank,
and that the average deposit is $3S12S
For the rest of the world the figures
given show that one out of eight of the
population deposit money, and that the
average sum to their credit is $101.66
