progressive, in a minority report at
tackmg McDermott. He introduced two
resolutions after a conference with
representative Murdock of Kansas,
the Progressive leader The first pro-
V1ded that the house should forthwith

OF the house and liable to expulsion"
The other requested the house to de-
eide whether the officers and agents

by, Emery, Mulhall and others, had
not been guilty of continued gross
misconduct against the good order

Berlin, July 12.-The bookmaker
and the gambling spirit of the Ger
man masses have proved too strong
for the supposedly omnipotent Ger
man government. A bill soon will
be laid before parliament legalizing
bookmaking, which has been a Grim
inal offense in this country for thir-
ty years. incidentally, the bill pro-
vides for the collection of govern
ment tax on receipts.
Betting among the masses hereto
fore has been officially regarded as
an unmixed evil, so IT was discour-
aged by the laws against bookmak-
ing. The only wagering permitted
was through the official betting ma
chimes at the various tracks, from
which the government receives re-
turn amounting to one-twelfth of
the total receipts. The people in
sisted, however, on backing their
opinions. and an active traffic in Sc
cret and illegal poolrooms and with
bookmakers abroad resulted. The

Called Aid to Religion.

Informal discussion of the sub
ject brought from several Senators
suggestions that the peyote might
be used to advantage by others than
Indians, but no Senator has ventuerd
upon the treatment himself: if a
dose OF peyote should induce humii-
ity of spirit the lonely and humble
Senator would feel strangely out of
place among his fellows.
The furry little button has be-
come part OF Indian religious
propaganda The ideals sought are
those of the Christian religion, but
the value OF these tenets is much
harder to impress upon the aborigi-
nal American without peyOte than
with the narcotic. II was in this
connection that the religious con-
troverSy arose Although the Sem
ate struck from the appropriation
bill the inhibition against the use
of peyote, il thereby left the sub
ject just where il was before. Con-
gress began to dabble in it and the
reform, element was left a subject
