sale at any time to any pupil or student
in the public schools, or to a minor or to
habltual drunkard, and violations of
this law are matters which it is your
duty to investigate. There is, perhaps,
no greater evil connected with the liquor
traffic than the sale of intoXicants to
pupils in our schools, to minors and to
persons who. by long indulgence, are
measurably irresponsible. The law is
ample to minimize if not to remove
these evils. All that is required is their
reasonable enforcement.
You are aware that the right-minded
people Of our sister state of Louisiana
are making a determined effort to wipe
out the lottery concern in their state,
an institution most corrupting in its in
huences, encouraging gambling spirit
throughout the whole country. so de-
moraIizing and debasing that congress
has been compelled to interfere. An
appeal has been made to us that
we lend our aid by securing the
strict enforcement inhibiting the
sale of lottery tickets. In former years
these have been openly sold in our city;
now it is done in secret, as l am in
formed. and you should make it your
duty to bring to justice any one who
shall be found violating the law. At the
same time you Will not overlook those
places, If any there are. in which gam
bling is permitted in our own city,
whether it be in saloons or in rooms
conducted solely for that purpose. Last
year number of convictions were Sc
cured and fair warning was given that
future violations of the law would not
be lightly punished. 1t is reported that
this warning has not been needed and
that gambling resorts are being con-
Quoted, if not as openly as before, yet III
sufficiently open manner to secure
large patronage and entail upon the
city all the evils resulting therefrom,
and | ask you to give this matter your
very careful attention. 1t is becoming
matter of too common occurrence for
the saloons of this and other cities to
have connected with and as a part of
their internal arrangements what may
be termed woman's annex, advertised
on the outside as the Ladies' En-
trance" and being a wine room, to
which women are accustomed to resort
to satisfy their depraved appetites. 1t
came to my notice in recent trial that
these places were not infrequently if
not universally the resort of lewd
wCmen-that portions of the building
were commonly used for the purpose of
prostitution, and that such resorts were
than nasty designation houses. Some
tunes, too, innocent and unSuspecting
girls have been decoyed into such
places to the shame and disgrace of
themselves and their friends. The law
is ample to suppress such places and
ought to be vigorously enforced.
The grand jurors retired after the
