THE GAMBLING SPIRIT
Since the dawn of history the gambling germ has
lurked within the bosom of the average man and louncl
expression in divers and many ways. As we became mme
civilzed, or esthetic, society signalled thumbs down foi
the plebian pastime of draw poker, faro bank, roulette,
pan and other games so popular on the AmeiLan lion
tier. , . r
But where is one permitted to draw the tine on
what is and what is not a game of chance? The same
forces that periodically descend upon Alaska, with, dis
infectants and moral panaceas lor the salvation of oui
immortal souls, snatch away our solo or pan decks and
tell us to not be naughty, how in deference to the big
gest sure thing gamble in the nation—Wall Street.
The recent slump in the price of securities was to
be expected by anyone who understands the principles
of the stock market gamble. Like faro, roulette and the
craps layout, it was never conceived with the idea that
the average man could beat it. Like these games,, the per
centage is in the dealer’s favor. The dealers in Wall
Street are the well organized insiders, and the public is
their meat. Sometimes, in the “good old days,” the own
er of a gambling house would go across the street and
drop his roll on a competitor’s layout.. Sometimes the or
ganized insiders wall do the same thing in Wall Street.
But the general plan is to play up the market until the
dealers get the public in and unload the paper upon them.
Then somebody gives the signal and the market resem
bles a snowslide on the slopes of Mount McKinley.
Then we hear a few7 politicians “arise in their wrath”
and blame the party in power because it did not come to
the rescue of the stock gamblers and save the “Pee-pul!”
The only difference between our own frontier “pik
ering” with pastboards and Wall Street is the size of the
stake. This latter makes it respectable and the stud pok
er player a menace to society.
And Edison still has his converts. Out to the V est
ward they are casting speculative eyes at those water
falls that come tumbling down to the beach and wonder
ing why they can not put in a small pipe line and a dy
namo. Even Kodiak is getting tired of gasoline explo
sives, it is said, and may soon take advantage of the
water power that God is offering right at her door. Af
ter 13G years it seems about time, but then, "safe and
sane” is the Kodiak motto.
Seattleites complain that Alaskans do not display
enough of the Seattle spirit. They’ve never seen a man
full of it trying to swim to Honolulu.
