NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
HOW THE SLOT MACHINE PAYS OFF

The popularity of the slot machine comes about
from the innate nature of the typical Americans
gambling instinct.
And the slot machine has become generally
popular that it has been considered necessary to
build up defense mechansms against it by means
of laws to protect the innocent from its wiles and
deceits
Especially intriguing is the machine to youth
hood. Young boys and, for that matter, girls, too,
if the devices are in such establishments they
can afford to visit, want to take chance of get
ting great deal of money for very small eXpen-
diture.
They think. we suppose, that the slot machine
is fair and honest continuance that wouldn't dare
play false with them If they can hang on long
enough. eventually they will get back what they
have already lost, and then the pay-oH IN big
fashion!
But such is no more than snare and a deIuson.
1t has been demonstrated so to be.
In order to make a scientific experiment, stu
dents of Proctor Academy at Andover, n. H., I'M
der the direction of Headmaster j. HalSey Gulick,
played a nickel machine 10000 consecutive times.
The slot machine was obtained from the police and
set up in a class room for the experiment. Dummy
coins were used. Here are the results
There is only one chance in 1000 of hitting the
jack pot and the device then returns only 50 Tor a
5000 investment.
There is only chance in 1000 of hitting the
three bells and then the machine returns but 81
for 500 invested.
The three 'plums," next in order, respond only
once to every 1873 nickels put in the machine
The experiment was prompted by something be-
sides idle curiosity. Slot machines have been COM
mon in Andover and residents appealed to Head
master Guick to use his influence to have the ma
chimes removed from the stores Mr.. Gulick, how
ever decided that the laws were insufficient to
have the machine banned, so together with the IN
structor in mathematics he worked out the expert
ment in an effort to show the boys in his school
what little chance they had to hit any OF the pay
ing combinations on the machine
II remains to be said that the nickel slot ma
chimes at Andover were the same kind OF slot ma
chimes that are to be found in Charlotte And the
discoveries made in the case Of the machine there
could doubtless be made here were the same test
to be applied.-Charlotte Observer.

| that this section will accept anything tho
matter how alien in character OF how rot
tenn with the label, Democratic, pasted
on it. This attitude of the South has as
sured the political manipulators in Wash
ington that they may proceed with their
plans to bring the revolution" to this sec
ton.
Perhaps the new dealers have made the
correct guess. We certainly believe chat
as far as a majority of southern politicians
are concerned, this estimate is correct. In
addition to the politicians, as the Charles
ton newspaper indicates, there is a class
of southerners composed of those who have
sold out to the distributors of public money
from the federal treasury; and another
group composed of citizens who desire to
avoid trouble or conflict and who prefer
to be slaves of the radical dictators in
Washington rather than have the high po-
sition of southern free men.
But-when the final showdown comes
the southern white masses will have to be
reckoned with; and when new deal plans
for establishing so-called racial equality,
for putting the negroes back in politics,
for wiping out separate schools, begin to
blossom in all their radical fullness, trouble
will begin.
1t is true the South may then find it too
late to protect itself from the Vaccinations
of its good new deal friends in other sec
tons of the country.
1t is not too late now-but the South is
barren of leadership-cursed with peewee
politicians. There are few to arouse the
people and call them to the standards OF
Americanism.

sImPLE-BUT INExPLICABLE

II isn't surprising il the least to hear from Dr.
w. w. Alexander, Resettlement administrator, that
homesteads could be built third cheaper If con-
tract instead of relief labor were used. Everybody
knew that relief labor less efficient than con-
tract labor; otherwise the WPA boys would have
had the regular workers jobs
But what is really surprising is the difference IN
Resettlement labor costs in different parts OF the
country. Could Texas relief workers possibly be
as times as efficient as Illinois relief workers? 1t
doesn't seem possible, yet Dr. Alexander told
House committee that costs per unit on 80 prof.
ects ranged from $1,916 on Houston, Tex, prof.
ect to Ss,S27 on Lake county, ILL.,, project That
is some spread.
It doesn't indicate, however, any such vast on,
ference between the energy and efficiency and skill
of workers in Texas and in Illinois. No. the ex'
PLANTATION traces to Washington. Illinois is one Oh
the states where the federal government pays re-
lief labor at an average of about $50 month, In
Texas a WPAer takes his $50 and likes It, Fol
some reason not made clear, the unemployed OF
one group of states are paid twice as much a.
those in another group of states.
This is a partial explanation, then, OF why th'
costs of the Illinois project ran so much greater
than the Texas project. Now if somebody will un
dertake to explain the Observation-Disclosures

WAsHINGToN.-Lots of statis-
w tics pour out Of the various
government bureaus these days,
but there is one thing on which
here issues not a single statistic
That is the rising tide Of gov
eminent payrollS. The latest word
On that is from the Presidents
Committee on Administrative
Management, which is authority
Tor the statement that between
June 80, 1892, and June 80, 1896,
he civilian employees of the exec
utive branch of the federal gov
eminent increased from 578,23l TO
324,259. That is gain, in four
years, of 246,028, or more than 40
per cent.
Perhaps that gives you a cue as
10 why it is always hard to trim
federal expenses. Every one of
these employees defends his job
resolutely, and most Of them have
direct influence with congressman
who appointed them. When you
cut budgets, you cut Jobs. And
that's where the shoe pinches.
incidentally, this rise is a ten
dency that runs throughout all
government, not merely the fed
eral government at Washington
though attention centers here al
the moment. In 1921 there were
81 people working for national
state and local governments for
each 100000 of population. In
1891 there were about $50. In
1911, around 400. And today
nearly 600. The New York Trust
Co. not long ago estimated that ir
1894, 10 per cent Of the national
income was being paid to govern
