(Fred l.. Boalt in Seattle star.)
 SEATTLE, Aug. 24.--Either Chief Lang Is not telling tho truth about gambling in Seattle or else he is SO ignorant of conditions that is is un- lit for office.
 One day last week Lundin lost @ Chinese gambling case in Justice Brinker's court through the failure of deputy sherifis to remember what they saw when the raided the joint
 On the day of tho trial the mys- terious word went around to close up, for while at least The joints be- low the line closed.
 But the very next day they opened again. It was all right. The State bad failed to convict The excite ment would die down.
 On that day met an acquaintance, James R. Little. Q special inyestiga- tor and formerly United States depu- ty marshal entrusted with tho sup pression Of liquor traffic among the Alaska indians.
 told Little what the police had told me-that the police, made wary by the gamblers case in Drinkers court, had ordered the lid clamped down. and that nothing short of a search warrant and a squad of armed men with axes could find a game any where in town.
 Little laughed.
 Twenty Places Run Wide Open
 'I can take you." he said. to 20 places running wide open right now. can take you to a place exactly similar to the one which the deputy shelrlfrs couldn't remember about in Brinker's court. You don't need to be a sleuth to find a game"
 Together we went to 219 Occident- al Avenue. There was the usual store in front. with a Chinese behind the counter. There was the usual hallway. Q.
 No one stopped us, no one question ed us; we walked in.
 We found ourselves in @ large room. sheri6s couldn't remember about the tables or playing. They were all white men. There were no negroes or Chinese playing. The only Chin csc there were dealing.
 Four Games Going
 There were four games in full blast -one chuck-aluck. two craps and a lottery

 During the hour we spent at 219 Occidental Avenue the crowd came and went at will. The police could have popped in and nabbed us with ease. The paraphernalia was on the tables. The money was on tho ta- bles. Each dealer had before him large sum of money.
 No Secrecy About Place
 There was no secrecy about 1t. A dozen detectives could have drifted in. and at a signal. arrested the en- tire lot Of us.

ALASKA STAGE COACH
 AT LAST SUPPLANTED

FAIRBANKS. Aug. 1O.-The day of the grizzled stage driver. the hero of SO many trips over the long 4O0- mile trail between the coast and the interior. is coming to a close. In his place will come more deeper and debonair individual. wearing gauntlet gloves and smoking cigar ettes-the chauffeur. Volney Rich mony. superintendent in Alaska for the Northern Commercial Company. yesterday announced that his com pany. which holds the United States winter mail contract from the coast to the interior. has decided to re- place the horse stages with automo- piles.
 Since 1903. when the first stage ran over the rough trail between Fair banks and Valdez. the stage drivers have been among the most pictur- esque figures of Alaskan winter life. In all kinds of weather. across the mountain ranges and through over. flows. they have taken the mails, ex- press and passengers. Sometimes they have saved the lives of maroon ed mushers on the trails.
 Mir. Richmond announced that the automobiles will come in this fall. for use during the winter. Horses will be wept near the summit in case any emergency may come up.

LABORBR AND ARTIST.
Copyright. 1915. by Dr.. Frank Crane,

You can do work in one of two ways.
as laborer or as an artist.
To work as n laborer is hard. 1t
dulls the brain, wears out the body
and embitters the soul
To work as an artist sharpens the
mind, exhilarates the body and re-
freshes the soul
1t is well to pay the laborer good
wages. to give hi mshort hours, to
protect him by law and to encourage
him by kindness; but there is some
thing better-it is to do away with
labor altogether.
And this is to be done not by starv-
them. but by changing them into
artists.
To accomplish this is the task of
civilization.
The way to redeem labor is to change
1t to craftsmanship.
The laborer is moved by wages: the
craftsman by love for and pride in
his work.
Whatever a man has to do he can
do as an artist. The barber shaves
you best who finds JOY in performing
the operation neatly and skillfully. The
carpenter who is only trying to get
his money does slovenly work: when
he pleases himself by making a thing
useful and beautiful he pleases the
customer.
There are two kinds Of grocers.
those who want only your money and
those whose aim is TO keep the best
possible store.
so you can tell the difference be-
tween the craftsman and the laborer
in any person, IN the paperhanger,
house painter. plumber, bootblack,
architect, lawyer, preacher, servant
girl senator
