Juggling With Luck.
“The man seeking to assist
himself financially by the aid of
games of chance when he has to
borrow the money to do so, or
keep it from his creditors, is
not only unjust to his wife and
children, but to himself as well.”
Thus the United States public
printer closes a warning to the
3,000 printers in the government
printing office that if they get
ihto trouble by betting on the
races they need expect no consid.
eration at his hands.
It is very foolish in a man to
risk money that he owes to
others. But is it any less foolish
to risk money that is all his
own ?
All the great guarantee com
panies have agreed not to bond
for positions of trust men who
gamble.
Four-fifths of the discovered
embezzlements are among men
who took chances, thinking to
! pay the money back out of the
profits. ^
This warning was called for by
the fact that thousands of gov
ernment employes in the depart
ments at Washington have got
themselves into the hard hands
of money sharks through gam
bling. Hundreds have had to be
discharged because, whether
they win or lose, the gambling
habit unfits them for responsible
positions.
The man who bases his hope
of fortune on his belief in luck
builds his house on sands- His
character is askewed. His con
ceptions of the practicalities of
life are distorted. Failure ever
confronts him and killing despair
lurks in his shadow.
Could you expect control of
conditions or of self in a man
who has permitted himself to be
tossed hither and thither by the
winds and waves of the sea of
chance ?
What he loses is lost. But
what he gains he loses.
You never hear of a rich gam
bler, or of one who wins to the
end.
The criminality commonly at
tributed to drink is due in large
part to drink’s companion—
gambling. The one weakens the
moral sense; the other perverts
it.
All the avenues of legitimate
business are being more and
more securely closed against
men who are so dishonest as to
risk money that they owe to
others, or so foolish as to risk
that which is their own.—Mem
phis News-Scimitar.

What right has the legislature
pf Arkansas to say to Russell
ville or any other school district,!
‘This much and no more can
vou spend for educational pur
poses?” The Russellville dis
;rict needs additional funds for
puildings, teachers’ salaries, etc.,
md while the district has al
vays voted the maximum for
ichool purposes allowed by the 1
aw, this is proving entirely in
idequate, not only in Russell
ille, but in all the larger towns
md cities where the best schools i
ire maintained. Why should I
he legislature limit the amount !
hat may be voted in any dis- I
rict , and not limit the mini- !
num? A district is not com- !
>elled to vote any school at all
f it chooses, but it is prohibit- ;
id by law from voting more than
:even mills. We believe the
lext legislature will remedy J
his handicap by increasing the j
naximum to 10 mills, or by re- .
noving the limit altogether, and
eaving the district free to
rote any amount of school tax
hey think proper under exist
ng conditions. If this is not
lone, districts needing addition
al buildings or confronted with
leavy expense for other pur
poses, will be through the im
provement distirct plan. This
:hrows the district at useless
?xpense in accomplishing whatj
should be made easy through i
pur regular school laws.—Rus-1
sellville Courier-Democrat.
