lief that the Chinese are more thorough
" addicted to gambling than are the
whites, for no similar number OF tEe
latter would support two games any
where, whatever their incomes might
be. Add to this fact that the Chm Sc,
as a rule. do not receive income SUN
cien. to furnish the commonest neces-
saries for the whites. and their gambling
propensities at once loom up into pro-
portions grand and vast.
