THE LAW OF DISCOVERY.

If the land department of the United States should see fit by it's rulings to restrict the intcrpreta- ion of law of discovery in such manner as io make the most ex- ccptional mineral shOwings n2c- rSsary io secure patent, it will be- come increasingly urgent that the present law is not only useless hut foolish. while some amend mcnI of if has long been con Sidrrcd advisable by the best stu dents of inc subject. Except in inc case of dispute over title tn ground, the matter of discovery has for years been treated as of small importance, and there are undoubtedly many instances Of mine iiilcs secured without any important mineral discovery as a precedent io inc filing of location papers.

SETTLED POLICY TOWARD DE- vELOPMENT OF WATER
 POWER.

The conservation of natural re- sources includes that of water power. Harnessing water power to supply the entire country with motive power and also, though perhaps in less degree, with light and heat may yet prove to be the supreme service to be rendered tC the nation by conservation.
 Water power unused is power lost forever: With no other nat ural resource is this the case. The unfelled forest grows in quantity and value. The unmin1d ore re- mains undiminishcd and incrcas- es in worth. But wasted water power not only is dead loss but causes the needless employment of coal and oil for the genera lion of power that water could and should supply.
 These facts make the develop ment of water power transcend ent in importance to the public, and right policy of national reg ulalion or control a thing to be sought until found There cX- istS imperative need for the cS- tablishmcnt of a national com- mission by the government thai shall study the subject through and lay the basis for an intrlli- gent and permanent policy for the government to pursue.
 Consideration of certain facts and figures emphasizes the neccs- sity of such study and of econom- ic craftsmanship.
 The annual consumption of coal by this country produces 100000 900 horsepower yearly. The de- partment of the interior has cal culated that "were all practical storage sites utilized and the Wa ter properly applied there might eventually be established at least 200.000,0O0 horsepower.
 Commissioner Smith, of the bureau of corporations, has stat ed that "the water power develop ed and that practically capable of development probably does not exceed 25,0OO,OOO horsepower" !" He refers to commercial availa- bility, the department of the in tcrior both to this and to engi- neering capability.
 The public should keep it's eye on the fact that thc electrical and engineering trusts arc moving steadily toward the mOnOpOliza- lion of actual and potential water power. Public welfare requires settled national policy as to this rrsOurcc.-SpOkcsman-Rcview.

TIE WORLD ii WHAT vt .aki

1 1hc pIcScllI SdHlDlllS SCdnual $ in New York only helps to bring to mind that our anti-gambling laws serve to make these scandals possible. To certain extent gambling is what we make it. From the earliest antiquity there is hardly record of a people that did not gamble. According to their inspiration, laws against gambling have as much to do in determining the character of the vice as they do in checking it's practice.
 Ancient Greece and Rome leg islated against gambling, not be- cause it was immoral, but because it was debilitating and effeminate. The government wanted warriors more than sports. Tn harmony with this idea gambling naturally fell into the hands of the weak and frivolous. The games and their votarirs were alike held in contempt.
 It took religion several ccnlur- ics to discover that gambling is inherently wrong. Even to this day we find it in one guisc or an other in church and charity ba- zaars-hand in hand with good works. In places where the ec- clrsiaStical powers finally con- dcmncd it and declared it's follow CTS to he devoted to damnaiiOn, the brethren who were in inc hab- il of taking chances simply ac- .c"ptcd damnalion and persisted in their sports.
 For hundreds of years what was called good society regarded with special favor the high players. The gamblers therefore lived up to their reputation. They had a true code of honor. Many a gamester, dcmoralized in some fashion into evil practices, died with his boots on, the victim of a superior gentleman's rapier or pistol. When gambling was a so- cial function the blackleg did not thrive.
 Lotteries and rallies and cast ing lots have always had the high est sanction. Governments, churches and hospitals have been sustained and positions of honor bestowed by them. Within a year we have disposed of public land by lottery as being the fairest method of distribution where the prizeseekcrs Outnumbered the prizes.
 AS recently as April last the senators from the new states of Arizona and New Mexico sOlemnly drew lots to decide on whom the long and short terms should fall.
 We have Outlawed gambling and of course the gambler has become an outlaw. There is only one thing tO do with an outlaw and that is 10 destroy him. We make few sincere attempts in that direction. Our usual course is tO let crooked politicians and policemen black mail him and then give him inn munify to fleece the public with his crooked games.

occasion of their meeting. Yesterday
proved no exception to the general run of
the games. Southern simply toyed with
its weaker opponent and finished with
the score 10 to =, it's way.
There were some touches of interest in
the one-sided affair. several running
catches adding thrills to the dullness of
play. Beatty and Bolen of Southern
and T. Hurney of Standard We're re-
sponsble for feats which drew applause
from the spectators. Beatty's play was
apparently the best. as he captured a
long foul just off the bank in left field.
Besides their work in the outer gar
dens. Beatty and Bolen were to the fore

and succeeded in making safe plays on
wild runs.
Eleven retired batsmen were victims of
KiSdOn'S assortment. The Southern
twirler had a good day. and a. no time
was in any danger of serious opposition.
Three of the five scattered hits regis
tered against him We're of the lucky va

great world of ours who question the
ACCESSIBILITY or good of the Olympian
games. 1t is so easy for these critics 10

Beyond this enthusiasm displayed with

pose, which | shall endeayor to point out
briefly as follows:
The Olympian game typify the sur
vival of the ancient ideas of physical
contests that were originated by wise
men who saw the danger of idleness and
its attendant train of evil habits. When
George Washington found an army on his
hands in the depth of winter he saw the
evil of permitting his men to have time
on their hands in which to recount their
woes. Accordingly. at Morristown, y. j..
