THE Legislature of New York having
passed an act prohibiting bets, wagers and
pools, 1t remains to be seen what will be
the effect Of the restriction on the morals
Of the people of the State, and particularly
OF Gotham. 1t may be that the enforce.
ment Of the law will be productive of good
results, but 1t Is more than probable, first,
that the statute will early fall into disuse
and become dead letter, known only to
the curious in statutory literature; or, sec.
ond, that being enforced 1t will cause men
prone tothe practice of betting to be guilty
not only OF the offense prohibited, but Of
the additional crime of violating the stat
ute. In the latter case 1t will be only a
further proof that in respect Of their own
personal iudulgences men cannot be made
moral by legislative edict.
