EDS. RECORD UNIoN: The reporter of
the Bee is not doing the square thing in in
tersiewlng the citizens on the gambling
license question. If they find one opposed
to the license they do not report it, or at
least did not in my case
Yesterday | had the honor of being
called upon for my views on the question.
When informed him was opposed to it,
he Immediately turned away, and said he
dld not wish TO Interview me any more, as
l was not the kind he was looking for. But
told him | had paid for my experience
and knowledge of gambling in early DAYS
when 1t was carried on with a great deal
more publicity than the license system
would give it. That it cost me- So 600 in
three months to learn what gambling was
that had become so infatuated with it
that | could not go by Il granddaughter
with dollar in my pocket, and avoid 90
ing in and losing it; that many times
had contemplated suicide, having become
so disguised with my inability TO break
from the infatuation. | would borrow
money from one friend and another.
wherever l could find them. and then
=" buck " 1t off at the tiger" | have but
little experience in the curse of whisky, but
If it's worse than gambling, | pity its vo-
tary. as 1t takes away all honor anG: honesty,

business, wife and children, to spend his
substance,-in being swindled out of what
should he their comfort
May God save our young men from suf-
ferlng, rs | have dCne by the accursed vice
of gambling.
But they say, You cannot stop it by
law" Do they stop murder, burglaries,
etc, by law? If not, why not license them.
But 1t can be stopped. Say to the police
force, " Your retention in office depends on
enforcing the law. You must stop gambling
ON your beat, or leave the force And if
they do not do their duty, put some one in
who will. And, again, pass an ordinance.
The first otfense penalty $25 second of
Tense, $50; and thus double up for each
subsequent violation, one-half of the fines
to go to the informer, and it would not be
long befare the whole is brought to an end
There are hundreds of men who would
take the positions on those terms.
Try it once, and | think even the Bee
will be satisfied that it is not best at anv
lime to DO evil that good may come
