Gambling Machines Ruled Out.

A Raleigh dispatch says:
Attorney General T. W.
Beckett has tried out the
latest slot machine designed
to evade the state law against
gambling devices and in a
formal opinion rules that they
are barred from the right of
licenses to operate in this
state. The machine vends
gum and indicates each play
Of the wheel what the next
turn will give, the possibili>
ties ranging from gum or a
nickle check to one dollar in
checks. Attorney General
Beckett played the machine
recently to the amount Of
forty cents and came out of
the game with S1.5O a net
profit of 81. 10 which he turn>
ed over to the barber shop in
which the machine is located.
The attorney made seven
successive plays that brought
only the gum each, then he
got two checks. He played
one of these and brought out
twenty checks, worth a dol~
lar. He pronounced the
operation Of the machine
gambling once removed, y
but clearly under the ban of
the law. The operator plays
not for what the machine will
deliver at that play, but for
what it will indicate for de-
livery in the next play.
Sheriffs in all the counties
are instructed through the
state treasurer to cancel all
licenses already issued for
such machines and to prose,
cute all persons, who here
after install them, as gam
blers.

Listen, Mr. Officer.

The public official who says
he cannot live up to his oath
OF office unless ''public senti~
ment supports me- needs to
have porous plasters all over
his body and to be given
crutches. It is his business
to enforce the law. When
he does his duty, then is the
time for him to talk about
supports from public senti>
ment. There is no effective.
way for the people to rally
to an officer on crutches.
But when did you know a
brave public officer, doing
his duty, to fail to find strong
backing from the public.
Get off your .crutches Mr..
Officer, do your duty and
Public Sentiment will be with

Saccharln Again.

The Journal of the American
Medical Association says, in re-
cent editorial, that the attitude of
The Department of Agriculture on
any subject connected with pub
lie health Is: When in doubt, let
the public take the risk. For
years those who are competent to
speak on the subject have declared
that the use of saccharin in food
stuffs is deleterious to health,
but the Department of Agricu..-
ture permitted its use in unlimit-.
cd qua atities with understanding
that the referee board was to in
vestigate the question and report
on it. In the course of time the
report was sent in-snd it was ad-
verse to the use of saccharinl On
the strength of the boards find.
ings, the department. declared that
after July 1, 1911, foods contain
ing saccharin would be regarded
as adulterated within the meau-
ing of the Food and Drugs
Act. Naturally enough, those
manufacturers that have grown
rich in substituting cheap drug
saccharin-for an expensive but
Wholesome foodstuf-sugar-at
once brought all the pressuse pos
sible to bear. to have the decision
of the department either rescind-
ed or modified As is usually
the case, when the interests of
the manufacturers clash with the
inte rests of the public health,
public health got the worst Of it
and the users of saccharin were
given an additional six months
during which it would still be le-
gal to add this chemical to food
stuffs. As January /, 1912, the
end of the period CT probation,
drew near. a little more pressure
was applied to those officials who
are supposed to stand between
the public and the food sophisti-
Gators. Again the officials yield
ed and another extension of time
was given to February 1, 1912.
The newspapers for January 30,
1912, contain the statement that
still another extension has been
given, to March !, 1912. How
much longer this will 60 on can
be best.judged by those who are
familiar with the methods of Of
fetal Washington. The spectacle
is not pretty one and does not
tend to increase public confidence
in the Department of Agriculture.

DEMONSTRATION WORK ON FARM.
1t is Said to be Accomplishing Very Bene.
flclal Nerk tor the Farmers.

flclal Nerk tor the Farmers.
Washington, D. c., Februar,
y, l9l2,-Secretary Wilson hs.
received the following report OF
Demonstration Work of the De
partment in North Carolina.
| Demonstration work Is only
four years old in North Carolina
yet it has become a power there
for progressive agriculture, arc
through this, for the general up
lift Of the home life of the far
mer.
Many farmers, advanced ir
age, deplore the fact that demol.-
stration work did not begin sew
eral decades ago so that they
might live long enough to enjoy
the fruits of its teachings, there
by reaplng the benefits of mere
bountiful crops produced at a
minimum cost of cash and labor.
Many farmers who have been in
the work one year state that as
successful farmers they are only
ene year old.
The work is based upon sound,
well-tried and essential princi.
pies such as a deep soil, plenty
of humus, improved seed, inten.
sive cultiyatlon, rotation of
crops, etc. That the work is &C.
complishing the purpose for
which it was degsigned, is shown
in a number of ways. For in.
stance the average yield of corn
in North Carolina, for the past
forty years has been little less
than fifteen bushels per acre.
The yields under Demonstration
methods were as follows: In
1908, 81 bushels per acre; in
1909, 40 bushels per acre, and in
1910 (4,361 acres) 43 bushels per
acre. The records sor 1911 are
not complete yet, but will prob
ably be greater than for 1910,
notwithstanding the fact that a
severe drought cut off the yield
through the the central part of
the State.
The Demonstration work stands
for the growing on the farm every
thing needed there in the way of
home supplies. The careful re-
cords kept in the work show that
these eau be grown for very much
less than market prices. The
matter, therefore, is an economic
one.
The organization in North
Carolina, at present, consists
of state agent, two district
agents, fifty one LEGAL agents and
over three thousand farmers con-
ducting demonstration plats av,
eraging thres acres each. The
two largest demonstrations the
past season were one of forty
acres of corn that produced fifty
bushels par acre and one of a
hundred acres of cotton that
grew tale and quarter of cot-
ton per acre. The demonstrators
are supervised by the local agents
who in turn are instructed by
district and state agents.
The Demonstration Work has
nearly co-operatlon Win the A.
& M. College, the Farm. eIs' Union
and other progres organiza-
tions. The State Department of
Agriculture is now cooperating
financially and otherwise. Local
aid for the work for. present sea-
son amounts 60 $15 600 90.
This shows that the people are
interested in the work.

The Commissioners have received
from the Secretary OF War a letter
requesting the appointment of a
principal and two alternates. who will

PLANNING REFUGE
|. FOR THE STARVING
ELK Of WYOMING
Congress- Grant of $4,000
Will Be Used to Good
Advantage.

Death by starvation among the &c, 900
elk of the jackson Hole region Of
Wyoming will be prevented this year,
If possible, by the Biological Survey.
Congress has granted $4,000 for rescue
purposes, and the money will be used
to good advantage.
The present situation in the region Is
terribly hard upon the animal. Civiliza-
ton has encroached SO much upon his
ancestral land that his grazing ground
Is only a fraction of what 1t was ten
or fifteen years ago. 1t has been recog-
niZed that unless relief is given the end
of one Of the principal remnants of big
game in the United States Is in sight.
More than $500 elk died last winter
Wyoming has been facing the prob
lem for several years, and has appro-
priated large sums to keep the animals
from starving. Now Congress and the
Biological Survey will cooperate, prin-
cipally by dividing the herd and taking
a large part of it to other grazing
grounds.
Jackson's Hole Is well-watered,
fertile valley, about ten by forty miles,
lying to the south Of Yellowstone Park,
and is surrounded on all sides by snow
clad mountains. Driven to desperation
by hunger in the later months of last
winter. the elk roamed at will over all
| the ranges, devouring everything that
could be eaten, even to willow brush
one-half-inch in diameter. In some in
stances they tore down the strongest
barbed wire fences in search OF food,
so that many Of the ranchmen were
forced to pitch tents or make bivouacs
near their haystacks, and to save the
| hay for their cattle were compelled to
sleep by the stacks during the severest
| months of winter The settlers of Jack
sons Hole did all they could to alleviate
the sufferings Of the animals. often
putting their own stock on extremely
short allowance to do So
The plans Of the Biological Survey for
| removing some of the elk to other
States, where they will be liberated on
suitably protected ranges. include the
shipping Of part OF the lot by rail. The
greatest difficulty to be encountered lies
in Transporting the animals across the
Teton range, which is 1000 feet higher
| than the valley of the Snake river to
the railroad. This range of mountains
| bordering the valley on the West, is
a series of rocky crags, with altitude
: varying from 10000 to $4,000 feet On the
| east the valley meets the foothills OF
the Gros Nentre range.
An effort will be made to drive a num-
| Der of the elks, as cattle are driven, tc
other parts of Wyoming, where they
will be within easy reach of a spe.
/ cially prepared and protected winter
| refuge. The Biological Survey deems
. necessary the establishment of such a
refuge, where the natural forage can be
preserved by excluding cattle and sheer
during the summer.

Five new school buildings will be in
use In the District before the end OF
the new school year which begins Sep

the new normal and building at Ran
dali Heights will be used by white
pupils; the other three are for colored
children.
The normal school building, which
will be utilized by Normal, No. 1, now
quartered in the Franklin School build
ing at Thirteenth and x streets, Is bo-
ing constructed at Eleventh and Har-
ward Streets and will be done, 10 Is
expected, by the first Of December. The
Randall Heights School is now ready
for occupancy.
So also are two of the new colored
schools, one called tho Burville, which
Is located at the extreme eastern edge
of the District, and the other called
the Military Road School, at the upper
end of Rock Creek Park,
The third colored school will be a vo-
cational and industrial center at North
Capitol and o streets. Construction of
this building will be completed by the
time the school year begins.
Appointn ents OF principals and teach
ers to these grade schools will not be
made until the Board of Education
meets in September.
But few repairs to the school build
ings Of the District have been necessary
during the summer, and practically the
only work done is in the line of regu-
lar upkeep.
