u &c Assoclated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NELSON, British Columbia, March %.
"A plot to assassinate Peter Verigen,
head Of branch of the Doukhobor sect,
was seen by staff Sergeant Stephenson
Of the British Columbia police today in
the bombing Of a store at Glade.
Stephenson said a decorating cap
with fuse was placed on top of drum
Of gasoline in the basement of the
building, directly under the room in
which Verigen customarily slept. For
some reason, Stephenson said, Verigen
decided to sleep elsewhere last night.
The building was not badly damaged
Peters father, who preceded him in
ruling this sect Of the D3ukhobors, was
killed several years ago in an explosion
on the Kettle Valley Railroad.
Stephenson attributed the plot to IA
natic members of the sect, who have
fired three schools in the Grand Forks
area and one near Nelson recently.

REVERSION IN NEVADA.

By legalizing gambling and putting it under a license fee system Nevada has given countenance to practices condemned throughout the rest of the u0iled 5ates and in all but few places in the c.Nlaed world The Western commonwealth the ieaa populated in the Union, has scarcely any nat oral attractions and with mines and livestock on tae rschne but comparatively meager development O otne. sources No doubt, she hopes to lure Jla 3e of tourists that seeks diversion in betting aud aeering pastimes, and thereby expects to aug her diminishing revenues.
 The evils of gambling have compensatory virtues Even if conducted honestly, it is de- grading Its sole principle is chance, the elimna- tion of skill and reason. The ideal gambling game contempates no advantage to any player, and if there be any pre-existing advantage, it is over come by the giving of odds the imposing of hsndcaps so the result may be kept absolutely uncertain and in the nature of pure hazard In fhe absence of cheating, gambling is matter of luck requiring thought-a reverson to early racial ignorance beset with superstitions charms and The activities that help in the ad- vancement of mankind seek to determine guide eventuaites, and exercise and develop mental en- dowments
 Any course of conduct that holds intellectual powers in contempt is followed by train of ill effects. Gambling causes improvdence, irresponsi- blity and, ultimately, destruction of self-respect The corrodrg influence of games of chance on char acter is clearly recognized that residents of European towns having notable resorts not permitted to enter them
 Of course professional gambling, such as Nevada authorizes is never honest Propretors do not and cannot depend on luck and the small percentages allowed operators of games to pay rents, wages and other incidental expenses. What stopped the toleration of professional gambling under the old arrest and fine system the two-card faro boxes the loaded crap dice the controlled roulette wheels and the marked, crimped and stripped cards Public sentiment not informed of the specific ways and methods of cheating, but it realized the games were rgged to win for the owners
 Those of Nevadas transient guests that are enticed to her legalized gaming tables will lose. That is what the State expects But the monetary losses of the visitors will be insignificant in parison to the moral injury to residents. Unless the people of the commonwealth become entirely devoid of decency and honor they will not long be content to share in the loot of professional gamblers

sive votes. This is admitted by the Progressive thunderers with naivete that is at dsarmng and amusing.
 Nominally the Senate Progressves and those in the House elected by the constituents Re- publicans. How greatly they value the Republican label well evidenced several weeks ago when Executive Director Lucas undertook to read MT. Norris out of the party But for the sake of ex- pediency in legislation, that is to say, in order to advance their pet schemes for running the country and it's industries. these champions of liberty would wreck the party's legislative machine and deliver the Hoover administration into the hands of its enemy.
 There is nothing new about the Progressive scheme. It tried without marked success in the recent session of Congress Happily the Demo- crats escaped it's pitfalls which would undoubtedly have forced an extra session of the new Congress. If they are well advised, they will have even less to do with these members of the opposition party termed by the New York Times as Republican wild steers and by Senator Moses by an even stronger name, who nothing for either party except it's label can bring them some personal and political benefits

International Exploration.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Cooperation of the nations of the world for political ends moves along hatingly, and with countless retarding factors. In the economic field it is only little better. But in some realms of endeavor, the nations joined quite firmly in coordnated effort. This is notably true in polar exploration.
 In the next two years, more than 50 expeditions large and small, will be sent to the two polar regions-by air water submarine. Some of them will be very elaborate, very costly, and will venture far beyond the Arctic Circle. Others will stop at outlying points the rim of the cold zones Arctic and Antarctic All of them will be scientific in character, and will supplement each others findings. Representing nearly 30 nations, these ex- plorers will be colleagues in common undertaking not rivals in any sense.
 Primary among their objectives will be weather data. Despite the findings of three decades of polar exploration only meager part ofa the needed data has been ascertained. When the temperatures and wind velocities of these icy regions are tabu- lated the currents of cyclonic storms plotted on maps, the science of weather forecasting will be advanced greatly.
 It is only occasional polar expedition that wins public attention and worship. For every dozen that go almost unnoticed This is not un- natural. Not every such enterprise has the ele- ments of adventure hardship and heroism that make good reading.
 But all of them contributions to our scientific knowledge of these least-known reaches of our world. Together they are helping us to form clear picture of the whole globe and to under stand of it's mysteries.

Platform Writers.
(New York Times. )

From the time national convention adjourns until 1t assemblies again all is not idleness for the artficers of platforms. Some of these word ear peners professional and official who are assured of being the platform committee. But most of them are voluntary and unofficial For example the National Association of Manufacturers has called for conference next June at which another plat form of American industry" will be written and later submitted to the conventions of both parties in 1892.
 At every national convention there gather rep resentatives of almost every which pleads for action. Sheafs of paper bulge from hundreds of pockets. Typewrters clack and pens scratch in many hotel rooms Hours of oratory consumed before the platfrom committees and subcommittees by advocates of everything under the sun. If pro- posal has organized political industrial backing is sure to have respectful attention If it has not the author is permitted to file his plan and then look for it in the platform in vain. But this seldom daunts the advocates of lost causes. Four years later they are back having given hours to com- positions that will never be read.
 The truth is that the party leaders arrive at the convention city with finished drafts. After that, the argument is which is wisest politi- cally and which will have the strongest support in the committee and on the floor. When these questions decided, very small committee puts the document into final form with due considera- ton for those masters of prox and tortuous speech who are regarded entitled to be able thereafter to point to their own sentences in the platform.
 How many blanks on the liquor question will be placed before the committees next year is any mans guess But only two or three will receive real consideration from those who will have the decision. Chairman Raskob's amendment to the amendment will be one of them. But that will not dssuade hundreds of others from bringing their own infalible solutions

CHARTING MANKIND.

Next month the American Philosophical Society at its meeting in Philadelphia will make an effort to chart the course of mankind as it has advanced through the successive phases of civilization. This IS one of the most ambitious undertakings of this organization which this year is celebrating it's 2o4th anniversary year
 By symposa and synthesis, the society will pre- sent a discussion of "The Changing World" in the hope that "The Promise of Science" can be ind- cated and the question of 'Whither Mankind" can be answered in understandable terms. These sub lecs again will be considered and studied in proper sections and subdivisions Plans are being made to have the more popular papers presented to the public by radio and later all papers will be issued in book form
 This IS a bold and courageous program. The society has properly declared, If ever the world needed Aristotle, collective intelligence to de- velop a method by which the population of the globe best be sustained in health, comfort and dignity; to organize the world for better advantage of the race; it is now
 Promotion of useful knowledge is the funda- mental purpose of the society. It follows the line utilizing collective intelligence the most likely produce concrete results The fruits of it's lead ership in this field should be found in greater advancement of the human race in the making o the world better and pleasant place in which to live.

Legislative Probe of Sports
At Wisconsin Is Being Made
AS Athletic Director RESIGNS

program proposed by the athletic coun-
cil A heavy deficit caused by de-
creased foot ball receipts is considered
one Of the major factors in the reor-
ganization of the athletic department,
although criticism has been directed
at Coach Thistlethwaite recently for
his record during the past two years
Director Little recently conferred
with authorities from another univer-
sity. but late yesterday he said he In
tended to resume his profession OF
teacher OF physical education rather
than become an athletic director or a
coach.
Coach Thistlethwaite was reported to
have decided to remain steadfast de-
spite the resignation of his chief de-
fender Of last year. Shortly after the
end Of the foot ball season he an
nounced he would not resign, but
whether Little's resignation will cause
a change Of heart was not definitely
known.
On the other hand, the secrecy with
which the council has deliberated has
produced a report that Thistlethwaite
may be made director as well as re-
tanning his present post.
