handle says:
Gamblers and harlots have never yet
made nor benefited a city or town, and
where they and their friends are con-
gregated in numbers, there will be
found crowd that glories in heinous
crime and the escape of the perpetrators.
Other of our prominent cities that have
set about Kidding themselves of the
leeches of society have done SO under
the laws of the state, and only in Fort
Worth was found the mawkish senti-
mcnt that prevented.
1t must stand out as pre-eminently
silly to favor the sentiments and condi-
tions which are we'll known as most ia
vorable to crime, and then be Mortified
at the preparation Of it. The one fol-
lows the other as surely as the night
follows the day, and only by acting up
on this principle will crime be made
odious.
