GAMBLING AND BLIND TIGERS.

The Mayor and Council of Dawson
and committee of citizens requested
nv the local chapter of the w. c. T..
I. to cooperate with the authorities
in a movement to suppress gam
bling especially the practice of crap
shooting by young boys) and the
illegal sale of whiskey in Dawson
should have the cooperation and
announcement of all good citizens
in whatever steps may be taken to
wipe out these two evils.
Such places inevitably lead to the
decentralization of young men, to
crime and often to scenes of hon.
icide,
Ninety per cent or more of the
citizens o. Dawson are law-abiding
in every respect, proud of the city
and it's good name, and DESTROYS OF
throwing around their children and
the children of others all the pro-
lection possible.
Every gambling place and blind
tiger is a direct invasion of the
home circle, tending to draw into
its clutches some boy who but for
their unlawful existence might es-
cape the ruin that all too frequently
accompanies places of this charac-
ter.
There is no room in this commu-
nifty for such places and absolutely
no excuse for their existence. In a
small city like this it should be
comparatively easy for the authori-
ties to learn of their whereabouts,
and public opinion ought to be suf-
ficiently strong to put an end to
them when the offenders are brought
before the courts.
There is no use in temporizing
with evils of this kind. federation
of them is an open violation
to deeds of violence, is confession
of weakness on the part of the au-
thorities and people, and calls for an
expression of opinion on the part of
the vast majority opposed to them
that will be clear and unmistakable. !
Citizens who care more for their
homes and their children than they |
do for law violators should see to
it that such places are broken up
and kept broken up.

TpE MAssrNG OF THE TROOPS,

The telegraphic news of the mass
ing of the troops in Texas and
naval force on the Gulf of Mexico is
indeed interesting Virtually
fourth of the regular army is now on
the frontier. The mystery that sur
rounded the move at the outset has
been dispeIled. President Taft no
longer conceals the purpose. 1t is
to promote the restoration of inter
national peace and order in the Sis
ter republic OF Mexico. 1t will come
as a wet blanket on the plans and
hopes of the revolutionary element
there, and the justice of such poll
cy will be challenged. 1t may be
believed, however, that public senti-
ment in this country will be in &C
cord with the administration view
unless, indeed, there shall come
disclosures and developments that
are rather unlikely to occur. In
Mexico Americans have planted ST.
50O,000,O0O in investments Of varied
nature, but all legitimate and help
full to Mexico. Great Britain, France
and Germany have billion dollars
of their peoples money there. The
world has too great interest at stake
in Mexico to look with complacency
on disorder there threatening the
vast investments. This is a CONNER
cial, an industrial, era, an era of
peace. Mexico must quiet down. 1t
is logically the place of the United
States to promote such an end, and
no doubt President Taft feels that
he has pursued the only course open
to the government of which he is the
head

YIELDS TO THE LOVE GERM.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the pure
food specialist and chief of the bu-
reau of chemistry of the United
States department of agriculture,
has found time amid his duties of
keeping the stomach of the nation
from being poisoned by food adul-
terers to take unto himself a wife.
She is Miss Anna Campbell Kelton,
for several years one of the leading
suffragettes of Washington.
AS was entirely natural, a pure
food cake was served at the we'd

anteed 100 per cent; the -four had
no peanut shell admixtures; the
baking powder was free from alum;
the eggs were only a day old; the
butter never saw the inside of a cold
storage warehouse, and the confec-
tionery sugar for the frosting was
innocent of clay-maybe.

A NEGLECTED LAW.

The Savannah Press calls atten-
ton to a law in Georgia which pro-
hibits minor from playing pool in
a public poolroom, and for viola
ton of this law imposes a punish
ment upon the proprietor for per
hitting the practice. There are
many boys in Savannah, says the
Press, who play pool, who loiter dur
ing the major pc ton of the days in
and around poolrooms, and who re-
ceive not one atom of benefit from
either.
AS our contemporary says, "the
enforcement of this law so far as
it respects the young men of
community is necessary. While
pool is a fascinating game, not in it.
self harmful, yet the object of the
law is to keep the young man from
environments which tend to hurt
him. A daily existence in pool
room is decidedly harmful to a young
man and a boy. 1t roughens him;
he meets with distasteful company;
he absorbs ideas which will eventu-
ally cause him injury, and he should
have some other occupation. Pool
rooms are for men, not boys. 1t is
far better to be rigid about such a
matter than to be lax, because the
benefits of the vigorous enforcement
of the law will be abundant, and
the failure to enforce will bring it's
usual serious consequences to the
young and the susceptible"

ABOUT METAL PLATES
Contemplate Doing SO This Arti-
Gle VIII Interest You.
By w. H. Hoyl, D. D. S.

BY w. h. Hoyl, ID. ID. 5.
Prior to 1914, when DR.. Thomas
w. Evans of Paris, France, intro
duced rubber as base in placing ar
ti1cial teeth all dentists, both for
eign and American, used gold and
silver as a base. In 1850 Charles
Goodyear began the manufacture of
dental rubber and offered it to
the profession at price within the
reach of the poorest. This naturally
had tendency to cheaper dentistry,
and the price has gradually decreas-
ed as the dentists became more pro-
ficient in vulcanite work until now
numerous dentists can afford to
make good rubber plate for $500.
Has it ever occurred to you why
the dentists make so many rubber
plates? Simply because they are
cheap and rubber is so easily manip-
ulated. The dentists universally
agree that a metal plate is far supe-
rior. They are thinner, lighter,
cleaner, non-breakable, and a con-
ductor of heat and cold, thereby
keeping the tissues of the oral cavi-
ty at natures temperature.
The cost of a gold plate is 500,
silver plate $50; and very few feel
able to pay this amount when they
can secure good vulcanite plate for
s.. A metal plate now, however,
is within the reach of all. Some
three years ago when Dr. Taggart
of New York city introduced his cast
ing machine for gold inlay work it
was readily seen by all observing
dentists that the cheap metal, alum
mum, could be cast as a base for
plate work. While gold is par ex-
cellence aluminium ranks second,
and is far superior to yulcanite.
In order to introduce aluminium
plates l will for short time make
cast aluminium plates for $500.
This is an unusual offer, and will
be good only during the summer
months. Bills payable monthly.

THE MILITARY BURDEN.

Just about one-half of the money
spent by the United States govern
ment since it's beginning has been
for four purposes, says a writer in
the Worlds Work.
Between 1889 and 1909, inclusive
of loans, the total income of the
government has been $21, 4O1,539,-
121. The expenditures for wars and
pensions during the same period ag-
gregate $10,854,85O,565, showing
that more than half of our total gov
ernmental revenues have been ex-
pended in wars and consequent pen
sions.
In pensions alone this government
IS paying a fixed interest rate of 10
per cent every year on the total cost
Of world armament, with every pros
pect of the amount being increased.
In other words, while the average
American citizen points wisely to the
fact that every German peasant is
carrying a soldier on his back" as
IN arraignment of the military bur
dens of Europe, he is complacently
carrying an old soldier or two him
self, the chief difference being that
the soldier which the German is car
rying is prepared to fight, while the
soldier the American is carrying did
his fighting fifty years ago.

Why should there be regret over
the failure of the United States SEN
ate to adopt the proposal for election
of senators by direct vote of the
people? 1t is all right to use the
primary election as a means for Sc
lecting senatorial nominees in any
state-to get the choice of the peo-
pie or political party-but the leg
islature should elect the senator's.
That upholds the dignity of the
state, and it is the very essence of
the doctrine of states rights. The
fathers of the republic were wise
in adjusting the matter as they did,
and it is not likely to be changed
very soon.
