instead of putting everything on
the next turn while our luck was
hot and walking out if we hit.
and in the process OF pinching
off our winnings, we would in
variably stay too long.
The law of average would
catch up with us. When the
luck was running against us, we
would get panicky and do our
pressing then. which, of course,
was the wrong time.
Thus we exemplified the old
saying of the gamblers that the
big percentage against most
players is the fact that they
stand to lose more than they
stand to win.
In other words, a fellow may
be content with a small winning,
but when he is losing he CANDLES
higher than he should and in
great desperation.
Another thing. we often gam
bled with distress money"
which is money we needed and
that sort of money never wins.
IF A man takes his weeks SAL
L airy into a gambling house,
and it is money that his wife is
looking forward to for household
necessities. he almost will surely
lose II, white guy who does not
need the dough can come along
with identically the same
amount and-r run 1t up higher
than a cats back.
A defaulter has never been
known to win at the gambling
table the money that would per-
NIT him to restore his defalca-
tions and save him from the
sneeZer.
But the greatest lesson we
have learned about gambling is
that it is useless to advise any
one not to gamble if they have
that weakness.
We often have preached here
on our well known text. "all
horse players die broke" and
right away we get batch of
letters from readers who say
this is not true and that they
put us jerry to sure system for
beating the horses.
What we would like TO know
is if their system is so sure they
do not amass wealth playing it
and keep mum about il, because
general knowledge of such
system would put horse racing
out of business and deprive the
inventors of their source of
revenue.

WE SUPPOSE we understand
w the human weakness for
gambling about as we'll as any,
body alive. Probably that is be-
cause we always have been more
or less a victim of that weak
ness. We gambled most of our
life up to the past few years.
Cards, dice, horses, roulette,
policy. the stock market, dog
racing. lottery, the numbers,
tossing coins-we tried nearly
all games. And always with the
same result. We lost.
The weird part of it is that
we always knew we were going
to lose. We knew that we are
one of that vast majority who
are born without any gambling
luck.
Long ago our old man told us
what he said his old man had
told him and what he had
learned himself at bitter cost,
that the Runyons came into the
world with no card sense and
with no fair for any games of
chance whatever, and that the
only way they would ever get
anything was by work.
IN OUR turn, and out of our
L own experience, we passed
this information on te-th next
male in the family line and with
probably the same effect that
our old mans message had on
us.
We hear he is already a bad
stud poker player.
Stud poker is the very last
game any Runyon should choose.
They have congenital curiosity
that demands a look at the
other guys hole card. regardless
of logic.
The Runyons of the world are
always calling themselves out
of their money.
We were poor gambler for
a thousand different reasons. In
the first place. we hated to lose.
We would spend hours in self
denunciation after a loss.
We would keep thinking re-
morsefully of what we could
have done with the money we
lost. A good gambler never
gives that a second thought His
philosophy is tits only money
and your life don't go with it,"
IF We did happen to have a
little streak of luck. we were
always too coWardly TO press it
to send it along, as the saying is.

USING the United States is exposed by bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce in startling
figures
The Soviet government bought $7,S64,000 worth of
baled cotton here in the last three months of 1910
The records of the New York Cotton Exchange reveal
that these the FIRST PURCHASES of cotton here by
Russia since 1885.
Did Russia send this cotton into Germany?
1t cannot be doubted when it is recalled that THE
NORMAL RUSSIAN CROP of 10000 bales is ENOUGH
TO KEEP ALL THE MILLS BUSY IN RUSSIA AND
THE BALTIC STATES
Since the Hler-Stalin union exports of copper
to Red Russia have jumped from $4,000 in 1888 to
S14,026,000 in 1910.
WHERE is Russia sending this copper?
w There is doubt that most of it goes to Berlin.

Undesirable Aliens

HE immigration authorities of the United States
l continuing to encounter the greatest difficulty in
expelng undesirable aliens from this country under
increasingly obsolete deportation laws.
Currently illustrating this fact is the of Princess
Stephane Hohenloe in California.
The essential details of this that the federal
has ordered the deportation of alien and
has thus far been unable to carry out its edict.
The for this situation up in the fact that
Stephanie Hohenloe is native of Hungary country
which longer exists sovereign state, and she is
apparently not deportabe acceptable to any other
country.
Her attorneys have said their requests for Ysas
to some so foreign nations have been unanswered.
THEREFORE, her continued presence here apparently
must be endured, and in such that presence
is dangerous it seems to be irremediable.
Our most grievous experiences with this problem in
the United States in recent years have been with alien
Communists from Soviet Russia who gain entrance by
means of fraudulent passports and are therefore
veniently undeportable to Russia.
The Hearst newspapers recently disclosed that
single person has been deported to Russia from New
York City since American recognition of that country
accorded although many such deportatons have been
ordered
THUS it is possible for known propagandists and
saboeurs to remain at their stations here and to
carry their devious practices and evil with virtual
immunity to American law and wishes
The remedy is obviously in renovation of our own
law, since existing deportation are unavoidable
and ineffective.
If hope to discourage the entrance of
undesirable aliens and give impetus to the departure
of those already here plain duty is give them the
alternative of staying out leaving submitting
permanent incarceration.
Nothing would accomplish this purpose better, the
Hearst newspapers have previously suggested than to
establish penal island perhaps in the Pacific and to give
undesirable aliens the choice of permanent custody there
or permanent return to their countries
If cannot depor undesirables. then let at
least deprive them of the capacities and opportunities for
agitang against system of government for melting
people to unrest and dstrust of their American
institutions and for otherwise and in the most evil ways
doing us harm.
