Licensing Gambling

The following from the Sacramento

about this time:
We find the following little
editorial paragraph in the Los
Angeles Times:
Gambling goes on merrily and
without molestation.
The same is true in Sacramento
and other cities of the State-in
fact in nearly all of them.
The idea that gambling can be
stopped is theoretically an excellent
one; practically, q failure. 1t has
not been, and never win be stopped
on earth. Such reform is only
possible in Heaven. And while
we live on earth, we should endeavor
