It is proverbially difficult to put an end Io any system of gambling that baa long been treated with public in Ditterieu died hard in this dulgem-e. country, Like slavery. they were once found in all the states, and were fought slowly to the last ditch. Gam bling is forliidiion in the constitution of New York, but by a juggling law Iwttmg ha» been allowed on race tracks in that state, though treated as a felony outside of auch incloe- urea. Gov. Hughe» deliberately took up the issue, realizing at the same time that it would involve him in a fierce battle with the Legislature and the powerful interests involved. To some extent the officeholding class, not only in New York, but in Wash ington, secretly tried to give the gov ernor a political fall. Gov. Hughes' position was that the law, cunningly flamed to permit racetrack gam bling was not only essentially im moral. but violated the plain intent and spirit of the stole constitution. This was the text of the many ad dresses he made on the subject throughout the state. His manner of debate was simple, earnest and logical. He never lost hie temper, and grounded firmly in the legal features of the case, he urged the question upon the con science of the state. Toe fight was narrowed down lo the State Senate, where the race-track gamblers had organized a powerful support. All sorts of trickery were used to deceive and confuse the mem. Ilers not likely to be corrupted. Forged p -titions and telegrams figured in the tactics. When the matter was first brought to a vole in the Senate the g on biers won by a tie vole, 25 to 25. But Gov. Hughes had just begun to fight. When the Legislature adjourned lie called an extra session and an election to fill a vacancy caused by the death of a senator. Into the district, composed of two counties, lie went to make »lieeches on the race-track evil and also, in order to arouse public senti ment, spoke in the large cities. The gamblers poured a great deal of money into the district, and many office bidders, including some of the federal variety, stealthily backed them ter political capital, but the anti gambling candidate was elected l>y a small majority. One of the senators against the gamblers was priatrated by sickness, and was barely able to go to Albany to cast his vote, But lie was on liahd at the critical mo meat and the anliganibling law ie as passed by 26 to 25. Without the strong (lacking of «he moral, law abiding element of the state, Gov. Hughes could not have pushed through this Important re form. But he holds that the majority of the people want to do what ia right and |that, in the end, right must pre vail. If the second vote in the Senate had b-eii against him he would have carried the content to the people of New York and made it a burning issue in the next campaign. But his courageous, persevering leadership with the state iiehind it, has settled the matter without recourse to the supreme tribunal—the people. in the direct ssaeriion of their sovereignty. Gov. Hughes was determined that I lie dear intent of the constitution should be respvcted. He acted in the name of the law. not in a spirit of egotism or from thirst of personal glory. He has earned the congratulations of all who stand by the tight and are ready to help in battling with a public evil._ Globe Democrat.

No doubt Mr. Bryan could get a better of fer from other sources, but the $50,000 job he has been vainly chasing for twelve years calls for qualities he does i.ol possess. • ■ ■ The recovery from disturlied finnneial conditions has been more rapid in the United States than in the other countries affected. One reason for thia fact is that we have been able, as a creditor na tion, to draw money from abroad in such quantities as were needed. Our im portations have beeen diminished nioie than $90,900,000, compared with last year, and exports have increased, so that the balance of trade in our favor is the largest ever known. There is a striking point connected with the chai ge in the commercial tide that may have escaped general notice. We are getting imports at lawer prices, while our ex ports generally are bringing more money than before, which adds to the favorable balance and shows that the advantage of the situation is with us. ■ ■ • w a im With the ostensible object of impress ing the non English-speakiiig foreigners of Schuylkill County, Pa Sheriff Evans admitted about 600 of these men to the jail enclosure at Pottsville, Tuesday, to witness the legal hanging of Felix Rad- zius, 19 years old, for the murder of his aunt and her 4 year-old son last Decem ber. At the same time photographers were allowed to picture the scene of the tragedy so that it might be disseminated broadcastas a warning. The sheriff has the idea that this will make a deeper impress on the foreign population than could be attained in any other way. It was the first time in the state that a hanging had been photographed. The condemned man, a fine specimen of bod ily health and strength, went to the scaffold without flinching. He had show n no regret for his crime and find urged an early day for the execution, forbidding his lawyers to appeal the case. • <R • Some of the senators who u-ged an appropriation for tour battleships hint, ed vaguely at conditions demanding a hurried addition to the most formidable part of the navy. It is best not to make a mystery of such matters in the United States, nor do the people understand that they are at the ineicy ol diplomatic programes secretly prepared by any of our own official representatives. The people alor.e ordain war ; they must tight it and pay lor it. Congress alone can declare war. If there are any dangerous obscurities in the Pacific, the people should lie told « h it they are and not be urged to’go into a blind pool urmament as a precaution against some hidden menace. By the voyage of a powerful fleet lo the Pacific we are put thereon a good defensive footing. We conld strike back at once if assailed in that quarter. Jajmn has s od distinct, ly that it has no such designs, and no Buiopean nation or concert is likely to encroach on any of our outlaying possess ions. A fleet of nineteen battleships in striking distance is an assurance tha, not a foot of soil under our ti <g will bi- disturbed. Gov. Nwansoo, of Virginia argues that it would be useless as well as illndvised to prevent Mr. Bryan's nomination at Denver because, in the governor's opin ion, another defeat of the Parker type would make Bryen inevitable in 1912 and relatively stronger in the party than now. On the other hand, the gov ernor assumes that a third deleat for Bryan this rear will settle his claims and give the party a chance to shape its own course hereafter. Gov. Swanson is one of the varieties of Jeffersonian Drmo crats, all of whom are distinguished by individualities and originaliti-s ol opin ion.
