authorities have shut down gambling
at the Panama Pacific exposition And
il is almost reasonable that we should.
Gaming is an instinct i'm the blood to
g. greater or lesser degree. Of every
American. and we must not expect
everybody 10 get over it in a night.
Ions years ago when America was
young. as it is yet, and its fate as a
nation hung on the turn Of the wheel,
when life itself was a chance depend
ing upon the accuracy Of the aim Of
the savage lurking in the bush. we
became, forsooth. a race of gamblers.
Then. by degrees. as we ceased 10
gamble with death we came, more and
more. TO hazard for gain. The rou-
lette. faro. monte and good old draw
poker dawned, were considered quite
the proper thing. For one 20 sake his
all on the throw of the dice or the
flip of a card was a sign of manhood
worth while.
Then inevitably came the results:
Ruin. defalcation. suicide.
Gaming was prescribed and society
taboOed it. Inexorably the law forced
he gamblers westward. step by step,
across the Mississippi. to San Antonio,
Fl Paso, Tucson, San Francisco. Then
California fell into line and the day
Of the gamblers waned.
In all these United States today
there Is not left one wide open" spot
within the ken of the average man.
But-the gambling instinct is still
vibrant. Thousands of Americans
are going to California to the fairs
at San Francisco and san Diego. The
worlds treasures of art and science,
of mans creative ability are gathered
there for their entertainment. The
Zone" at Frisco and the "Isthmus"
at San Diego afford amusements as
wondrous and varied as was ever
chronicled in the Arabian Nights But
the dominant attraction has been the
"49 Camps" replicas of mining camps
of olden days, with cow-girls. dance
halls etc, and where d-fashioned
gaming Of ever character was permit
ted. In lieu of actual money. scrip
was used, good in payment for most
anything under the sun in either city
a subterfuge. of course
The law stepped i'm lost week and
closed the 40 Camps" Now many,
including some staid old church
deacOns, are protesting. The multi
tude of visitors is disconsolate. They
all want TO gamble OF course, they
are away from Rome.
Americas reformation. or that of at
least a large portion of it. was but
skin deep.

WAR AND PATRIOTISM.

Philosophers who used TO talk about
the new cosmopolitan spirit and the
citizenship OF the world" that comes
from broad culture. are confronted
now with the fact that after all, de-
spite the years of teaching. the stress
of war has swept all such sentiments
aside and has left the people Of nearly
an countries unqualified partisans Of
their own nation.
Take the socialists as a concrete
example They are real propagandists
or were-for world citizenship, aP-
propriating at least that much of cul-
ture, and lighting for it with "A cosmo-
politan spirit that has at times reach
ed almost the point of vengeance
They would have none of this narrow
patriotism" commonly known as ma
tional loyalty" but when the war came
and their countries called them, the
brotherhood Of man" which they had
preached and believed proved to be a
fragile bond. Marrow patriotism
overcame their pacific principles
The Jews are still better example;
for unlike the socialists. they are of
one race, and race that has pre-
served its own Royalties and ideals
longer than any other Herman Bern
stein estimates that there are $4,000
Jews in the belligerent armies. About
400 600 OF them are in the Russian
army, 200, 900 Of them in the German
and Austrian. 10000 in the French.
10000 in the British and the rest in
the Turkish and Italian armies
The enthusiasm with which they
have fought. when arrayed against
each other. is shown by the fact that
thousands of them have been deco
rated for bravery. Even in Russia,
most of them seem to have entered
the army willingly and TO be one in
spirit with their Slavic comrades.
They are Russians first and Jews af-
terward
Doubtless it would prove so in the
United States. if we were drawn into
the war, in spite of the present atti-
tude OF certain elements whose alien
activity comes perilously near to
treason

ANOTHER FALLACY.

II is estimated that American tour
lists annually spend from $50. 100000
to S25O.0O0.0OO abroad and some of
the newspapers of the country are
felicitating the commercial interests
on the supposed fact that this money
will now be spent in seeing America
first thereby increasing business and
restoring a little OF the old-time pros
perity.
This is all very fine except for one
thing. and that is that most of this
money probably won't be spent in see

bered that there is a certain portion
of our population which prefers TO

OUR SOCIAL OFFENDERS.
(Pittsburgh Dispatch.l

Organized society views with toler-
ant aspect the conduct of individuals
so long as this conduct, personal or
collective, does not violate the rules
which society has adopted for its own
safety, comfort and convenience. one
seller of dope. or one dope fiend, does
not constitute much of a menace, but
when they get so numerous as to be
counted by the thousand something's
got to be done. This was done by
congress when it passed the present
stringent federal law regulating the
sale Of narcotics.
Users of dope in large centers of
population have been hit especially
hard by the deprivation they have suf-
fered, as has been often noted by the
newspapers since the statute went
into effect some months since, but
interest in its effects has been
somewhat revived by a report a few
days ago from DR.. Kate 3. Davis,
commissioner of correction in New
York city, stating that in the insti-
tutions under her control there had
been an increase of so per cent in
number of inmates in Is months,
much of which was due to the re-
straint to which drug users have been
subjected. and TO the conviction Of IL
legal drug sellers; also to heightened
terms of imprisonment which magis-
trates have been imposing upon Of
tenders.
Dope. drink poverty and discOrd are
the major causes of broken laws and
broken homes; they always have been
and always will be until the causes
are removed, If this is possible And
removal of the causes is the chief
remedy. How to deal fairly and effec-
lively with people of this class is ana
ever has been a world problem. While
some of the minor manifestations
may be safely treated with easy
methods, these should NOT apply al
ways Humanity in the handling OF
criminals or criminal tendencies need
not imply mushy sentimentality. Hon
or methods in prisons and refOrmator-
les are sound enough in theory, but
they should be carried out with the
full knowledge that the men they are
expected to help are in confinement
because of dishOnOrable acts.
The best honor method in prison is
the prevalent honor method outside
of prison-humane treatment and
equal and exact justice 10 all. But
the woman who has been committed
200 times TO Blackwelrs island in 16
years might just as we'll be allowed
