sports and Gambling.

nowhere is the trail of the serpent
more plainly seen" says the New York
Observer, ethan in the perversion of sports
to the eXcitements of gambling and the
cruelties of the ring. No sooner is a new
amusement invented than it is degraded to
serve as tool for the gamblers low
passion. 4 few years since the old-fash-
toned game of ball was revived, improved
and made doubly keen. Immediately it
became the gamblers prey, and was
driven from the amusements of gentlemen.
Football is going the same way. The BIZ
cycle had in it more promises of health
full out-of-door recreation than anything
dreamed of since the days of Nimrod, but
already it is looked upon chiefly by the null
ttude as something with which one can
make or break a record and so add
another instrument to the gamblers lay
out. We have come to a day in which two
great states of the greatest free nation up
on earth, enjoying the heritages of eighteen
Christian centuries and boasting countless
schools of all grades, are known best as
the gamblers paradise and the prize
fighters hell New Jersey seems to have
been sold to the race course and Louisiana
to the prize ring. So low have sunk two
states that once were counted homes of
freedom and virtue. 1t is not to be Won
dered at that our list of hOmicides swells
every year with increasing ratio. New
victims of base passions die by their own
hands or fall before their slayers. The
number of violent deaths in 1892 exceeded
that of almost any battle in our civil war,
and most of them were the results of just
such passions as are fostered by the
criminals who control certain of our legis-
latures. Passions which demand the
stimulus of betting, fighting, and theiI
allied vices, crowd close to that border
land beyond which lie murder, suicide, and
all forms of violent death. So surely as old
Rome tempted and received Heavens
thunderbolts, so surely will our nation
unless its course be checked, be smtter
by the same justice"
