The Gambling Mania.
The disclosures coming out relative
to the Canfleld-Vanderbllt gambling
-cases In New lark call attention to
the mania that Is ruining so many
young men throughout the land. They
bring to mind another case where a
young man went west, failed to find
work at once, resorted to gambling,
lost all he had. resorted to forgery to
pay his debts and was soon In Jail,
with the door of the penitentiary star
Ing him In the face.
The story Is not new. It la very,
very old. That la the pity of It It Is
the road over which many bright and
capable young men have traveled. The
average man usually goes Into gam
bling with the erroneous Idea that he
can get something for nothing.
In the wlndup the something Is usual

When an innocent goes up against a

men who are trained in the art and
who make their living that way. If
they did not fleece Just such victims as
be, they would not be In the business.
When he tries the roulette wheel or
other similar devices, he contributes to
the profits of the house. It makes Its
money In that way. If it did not take

run the wheels.
In any case the novice stands to lose.
This Is aside from the ethics of gam

The whole thing Is founded on a false
hood. The only way you can get any
thing In this world Is to give an equiv

way, you must pay the debt some time,
some place. There must be entire
recompense. The law of justice Is ex
act and must be met to the uttermost
farthing. This, however, Is farther
away. Most people think only of the
Immediate effects, and the immediate

Aa Inventive Fatally.
Thomas A. Edison Is generally re
garded as the world's greatest Inventor.
It a vote were taken on the proposition,
be would undoubtedly receive eo large
a majority that the others would be In
the "also ran" class. But.lt appears
that Mr. Edison, great as he la, does
not monopolize the Inventive talent of
the family. Mrs. Edison lso shines,
and not wholly by reflected light either.
Mrs. Edison's Invention If It may be
called that Is both domestic and re
ligious. She believes she has solved
the problem of the hiisbandless church.
As Is well known, many husbands are
compelled to forego the Sunday sermon
and the Sunday Bible lesson because
of domestic duties. Somebody must
stay home with the children. This is
particularly true of very young chil
dren. And it cannot be expected that
the wife, who has the children on her
bands six days in the week, should be
the one to suffer from the want of the
spiritual uplift. No fair minded bus
band will keep his wife from church.
Bather win be take the burden of the
household on himself temporarily.
It is a realization of this that has
caused Mrs. Edison to suggest to the
pastor of her church at Orange, N. 3
the plan of a church nursery. This Is
to be located in the basement and
there will be competent nurses for ba
bies and children who are too young to
enter the Sunday school classes. Thus,
while the husband and wife are per
mitted to hear the sermon and Join In
the services upstairs, they may be
consoled by knowing that the other
members of the family are In good
hands downstairs. And only In bad
weather, when it Is Inadvisable to take
the baby from the house, will the hus
band be kept from church.
This plan is certainly ingenious and
novel. In the recent magazine discus
sions on the subject of men staying
away from church none of the. able
writers hit on this simple and ap
parent reason. The man stays at home
to take care of the baby. It remained
for a woman to announce the discov
ery and also to find a way out of the
difficulty. Most of the masculine light
shed on the subject indicated that the
sermons should be Improved. In Mrs.
Edison's opinion this Is not necessary.
Provide a means of caring for the chil
dren and the problem Is solved. This
will also start tha children going to
church early In life. By all mean let
us have the church basement nursery.

Pedestalana Have Rights.
The recent stoning of automobiles In
New York, wanton and rowdylsh as it
Is, does not wholly arise from the
boodlumlsiu of the young toughs of the
streets of th metropolis, but In a way
- j i i m

the machlnen themselves. These veri
table locomotives, going frequently at
railroad speed, are a menace to human
life. The action of the New York
boys In a way voiced a public protest
against the previous lawless acts of
those In charge of these Juggernauts.
Thus lawlessness begets lawlessness.
The throwing of stones Is not legiti
mate, but the protest Is. The pedes
trian has some rights that even the
chauffeur la bound to respect
The proper appeal, however, is to the
courts. That this appeal can be made
successfully has been demonstrated In
very many Instances.
The latest and the most unique les
son was that taught by Judge Bamber
ger of the Philadelphia common pleas
court The haughty chauffeur bad
merely run down a rheumatic old gen
tleman, not Injuring him severely, but
sending hlra to the hospital for twenty
one days for repairs. The chauffeur
was arrested and taken before a mag
istrate, who fined him $21 and sent him
to Jail for twenty-one days. On ap
peal being taken to the court over
which Judge Salzberger presided It
was contended that the penalty was
too severe and that to send a gentle
man to Jail was an unusual punish
ment But Judge Salzberger said:
The pedestrian is entitled to the free
dom of the streets with reasonable as
surances of safety, despite the coming: of
the automobile. Even though bent with
age or crippled with rheumatism he still
retains tha right to life and to limb, and
that right must be respected. The Judg
ment of flue and Imprisonment Is af
firmed. A few more such lessons us that read
by the Philadelphia Judge will go a
long way toward abating the evil. Let
the drivers of these machines be taught
to abide by the law, and the public,
even that portion of it represented by
the New York hoodlum, will do like
wise. Life must not be endangered,
even for the sport of those who ride
In automobiles.
What Is needed above all things Is a
little public virtue, the consideration
for others. Selfish gratification at the
sxpense of one's fellow beings is noth
ing less than a crime. It should be so
regarded.

Tha Suicide Mania.
The papers of each day chronicle
some act of self destruction. It is saw
to say that only a few of the cases get
Into the public prints. A few weeks
ago It was a Pittsburg young man who
took his life because his dinner was
late. A short time before that It was a
western boy who had run away from
borne and was too proud to write back
for help. Kneeling down by a railroad
track, be let a freight engine pass over
his bared neck.
Too horrible to reproduce, you sayt
No. It Is purt of the drama of life.
It has Its pluee and teaches its moral.
The very tragedy of It may help to
burn the lesson Into our hearts. A
young life that might have been happy
and useful wrecked through weakness
and a petulant whim. The training
given by the world untried. The school
ing of life lost An added burden to
carry by a soul. An added wrong to
be expiated. A father's toll and a
mother's pains and tears unrepaid. And
all for what? A loss of nerve. A false
egotism called pride, A weak thought
that somebody would appreciate him
now. A bodily machine, built up at In
finite pains, broken and useless. An
opportunity utterly thrown away. A
soul left naked with Its sense of loss
and guilt "
The suicide question Is one that
should be faced without mincing words.
It is growing too prevalent.
The old Idea was that only the Insane
took their lives. That Idea has passed
out
To perhaps every bumau being at
some time comes the temptation of self
destruction. That is the crucial test
the trial by fire. He who overcomes la
better and stronger forever after. And
let it be said, to the honor of the race,
that ninety-nine out of a hundred aye,
more than that do overcome. There Is
that much more bravery than cow
ardice. Taken all In all, our lives are pretty
much alike. They all have their hard
places If not In one way, then in an
other. The trial comes to each. The
one who flees does not do so because he
faces any greater discouragement than
his brothers. He runs away because
be lacks nerve and strength.
He is a deserter from the battle of
life.
We are sent into this world to train
u. to test us.
He shows himself a weakling who
turns tall to a few puny circumstances.

These remarks are not aimed at tha
particular case In point, which Is piti
ful enough. That Is past. Let it be
covered by the mantle of charity. We
speak rather to the living, who must
meet the same test of fire and who
should come out of the ordeal purified,
refined and relnvlgorated.
Hawaiian Dirge.
All peoples scatter flowers over thcli
dead, the bouquets being verbal as
well as literal. But for linguistic blos
soms, veritable roses and popples and
sunflowers of speech, commend us to
the Hawaltans. Surely our newly ac
quired Pacific possessions are prolific
lu language If nothing else. Here, for
example, is the lamentation over the
body of a tribal queen:
"Ceasing from storm, the sea grow
calm and glaBsy. Like a puff of wind
flitting over it ao her spirit glides
away to the far regions beyond Kahlkl.
"She flies, averting her eyes; she
fades away in the wild mists of the
northland the deep, dark, mysterious
north. . '
"She has gone from us to the courts
of Kane, treading royally the red
streaked path of the rosy dawn, .the
misty broken road to Kanaloa. An
ebbing' tide flows out, ladened with
departing wealth. She fled at the first
gleam of the dawn, at the faint ending
of the cut-off night
"Oh, our beloved one! Our departed
onel Our bemoaned onel
"Oh, the pain, the breaking up, the
rushing of tears,- the falling of the
flowers scattered of grief!
"Our true liege lady was she, and I
Crieve. Love as to a sister Is mine,
yet not to a sister. Yea, a sister, chosen
and separate in the Lord, born of the
Holy Spirit of the one Father of us all.
Thus, thus I feel that she Is mine to
sorrow for. The precious name, sister.
Is Indeed ours by dear Inheritance.
Alas, my sister! My beloved sharer In
sweet labor. Oh, my halovedl Oh,
center of thought!"
It Is worth while dying for a panegyr
ic like that It takes one back to
Greece and to the primitive peoples at
the dawn of the world.
