SKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER HAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION REVERSION IN NEVADA. By legalizing gambling and putting it under a license fee system, Nevada has given countenance *antices condemned throughout the rest of the tes and in all but a few places in the world. The Western commonwealth, the 1ated in the Union, has scarcely any nat- s and, with mines and livestock on ut comparative! eager development surces. No doubt, she hopes to lure ) tourists that seeks diversion in betting | ng pastimes, and thereby expects to aug- | n er diminishing revenues. | evils of gambling have no compensatory virtues. Even if conducted honestly, it is de- grading. Its sole principle is chance, the elimina- tion of skill and reason. The ideal gambling game tes no advantage to any player, and if e any pre-existing advantage, it is over- by the giving of odds or the impesing of | h.nticaps so the result may be kept absolutely 1in and in the nature of pure hazard. In nce of cheating, gambling is a matter of | requiring no thought—a reversion to early ignorance, beset with superstitions, charms omens. The activities that help in the ad-| vancement of mankind seek to determine or guide | eventualities, and exercise and develop mental en-{ dowments. Any course of conduct that holds intellectual | powers in contempt is followed by a train of ill| effects. Gambling causes improvidence, irresponsi-; bility and, ultimately, destruction of self-respect. The corroding influence of games of chance on char- | acter is so clearly recognized that residents of | Furopean towns having notable resorts are not permitted to enter them. Of course, professional gambling, such as Nevada authorizes, is never honest. Proprietors do not and cannot depend on luck and the small percentages | allowed operators of games to pay rents, wages| and other incidental expenses. What stopped the toleration of professional gambling under the old arrest and fine system were the two-card faro| boxes, the loaded crap dice, the controlled roulette | wheels and the marked, crimped and stripped cards. Public sentiment was not informed of the specific ways and methods of cheating, but it realized the games were rigged to win for the owners. Those of Nevada’s transient guests that are; enticed to her legalized gaming tables will lose. | That is what the State expects. But the monetary losses of the visitors will be insignificant in com- parison to the moral injury to residents. Unless | the people of the commonwealth become entirely | devoid of decency and honor they will not long be content to share in the loot of professional gamblers. CHARTING MANKIND. sive votes. This thunderers with a naivete that is at once disarming and amusing. Nominally the Senate Progressives and ‘those in the House are elected by the constituents as Re- publicans. How greatly they value the Republican label was well evidenced several weeks ago when 1Executive Director Lucas undertook to read Mr. |Norris out of the party. But for the sake of ex- | pediency in legislation, that is to say, in order to advance their own pet schemes for running the country and its industries. these champions of liberty would wreck the party's legislative machine |and deliver the Hoover administration into ihe ihands of its enemy. There is nothing new about the Progressive scheme. It was tried without marked success in | the recent session of Congress. Happily the Demo- lcrats escaped its pitfalls which would undoubtedly have forced an extra session of the new Congress. If they are well advised, they will have even less (to do with these members of the opposition party, !lermcd by the New York Times as Republican |“wild steers” and by Senator Moses by an even stronger name, who care nothing for either party |except as its label can bring them some personal and political benefits. | Recently, while President Hoover was considering | the Muscle Shoals bill passed by Congress, Senator Norris offered to resign and accept the job of managing the big project for the Government. That |the President chose to veto the bill is convincing |proof that he meant what he said about the iniquity of ‘government ownership and operation of public utilities. International Exploration. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Cooperation of the nations of the world for political ends moves along haltingly, and with| countless retarding factors. In the economic field, /it is only a little better. But in some realms of ! endeavor, the nations are joined quite firmly in coordinated effort. This is notably true in polar| exploration. In the next two years, more than 50 expeditions, | large and small, will be sent to the two polar regions—by air or water or submarine. Some of them will be very elaborate, very costly, and will venture far beyond the Arctic Circle. Others will | stop at outlying points on the rim of the cold zones, Arctic and Antarctic. All of them will be scientific | in character, and will supplement each other's! findings. Representing nearly 30 nations, these ex- plorers will be colleagues in a common undertaking, not rivals in any sense. is admitted by the Progressive |’ DOUGLAS NEWS AUXILIARY HOLDS SOCIAL SESSION FOR MRS.

For every such well-publicized undertaking, there are a half dozen that go almost unnoticed. This is'not un- | natural. Not every such enterprise has the ele- ments of adventure, hardship and heroism that make good reading. ! But all of them are contributions to our scientifie knowledge of these least-known reaches of our world. Together, they are helping us to form a clear picture of the whole globe and to under- stand more of its mysteries. (New York Times.) From the time a national convention adjourns‘ until it assembles again all is not idleness for the artificers of platforms. Some of these word-car-| penters are professional and official, who are assured of being on the platform committee. But most of them are voluntary and unofficial. For example, the National Association of Manufacturers has called for a conference next June at which another “plat- form of American industry” will be written and later submitted to the conventions of both parties in 1932, At every national convention there gather rep- resentatives of almost every cause which pleads for action. Sheafs of paper bulge from hundreds of pockets. Typewriters clack and pens scratch in |many hotel rooms. Hours of oratory are consumed before the platfrom committees and subcommittees by advocates of everything under the sun. If a pro- posal has organized political or industrial backing, it is sure to have respectful attention. If it has not, the author is permitted to file his plan and then J | Platform-Writers. ‘ Next month the American Philosophical Society at its meeting in Philadelphia will make an effort to chart the course of mankind as it has advanced through the successive phases of civilization, This me of the most ambitious undertakings of this ‘ganization which this year is celebrating its 204th anniversary year. By symposia and synthesis, the society will pre- sent a discussion of “The Changing World,” in the hipe that “The Promise of Science” can be indi- nd the question of “Whither Mankind” can wered in understandable terms. These sub- J ivain will be considered and studied in proper and subdivisions. Plans are being made to liive the more popular papers presented to the radio and, later, all papers will be issued 1 form. Ihis s a bold and courageous program.

That is the bait which the Progressive circus will hold before party leaders between now and next December when the If the next Congress meets in regular session. Democrats will hector the Administration, pull the chestnuts out of the fire for the Norrisses, Brook- harts, Nyes, Borahs and others of that clique which arrogates to itself the ruling position, that party can walk into power in that session upon Progres- look for it in the platform in vain. But this seldom | daunts the advocates of lost causes. Four years, |later they are back, having given hours to com-' | positions that will never even be read. | | The truth is that the party leaders arrive at |the convention city with finished drafts. After | that, the argument is over which is wisest politi- cally and which will have the strongest support in the committee and on the floor. When these questions are decided, a very small committee puts!' the document into final form with due considera- tion for those masters of prolix and tortuous speech who are regarded as entitled to be able thereafter to point to their own sentences in the platform. ! How many planks on the liquor question will be placed before the committees next year is any | man’s guess. But only two or three will receive real consideration from those who will have the decision. Chalrman Raskob’s “amendment to the! amendment” will be one of them. But that will not dissuade hundreds of others from bringing their own infallible solutions. | | The Southern Senators were not angry, they| were just terribly, terribly hurt by the brutal way in which Mr. Raskob took off the lid and forced |them to look at the foul mess which is Pro-| {hibition in 1931.—(Buffalo Courier-Express.) “I don’t know anything in a long time I'vel enjoyed writing on the typewriter as much ns] ‘Ex-Senator Tom Helfin,'"” political says a friend in the correspondence game.—(Detroit News.)
