In granting the petition of George NJ. Ba
ker for restaurant in Espy, the court said
"But, if there is a complaint coming to us that
card-playing. is allowed for amusement or 9TH
erwise, then the building occupied by him, will
for that reason alone. on the first application
be closed NOT, perhaps, that the mere amuse.
ment Of playing Il simple game with cards is
worse than any other wickedness; but if doors are
open and persons seen sitting at card-table
boys are attracted there. Boys scarcely ever 70
to bar-room to get anything in the way OF
stimulenl, rarely ever, and the landlord who
tolerates it ought to have his license revoked
but it is these restaurants, these underground
rooms, that lead boys to the first steps in their
downward course. We would be glad, / GER
tainly would for my part, if there was a statute
as in some counties, that no license to a restau-
rant should be granted at all but as the law
has not gone so far, we are not prepared to
strike how at any particular place or man
though we do say, and we mean what we say
and We invite all in hearing, all interested in
the question, TO put us to the test, that when
this man, or any other restaurant-k keeper, il
shown to allow gambling, or playing cards for
amusement or low carousals or disturbing ofthe
public peace, it wll! be good cause for revoking
the license, and they cannot complain that they
have no notice Of what the court will do"
