The Washington Star speaks of
the possibilities Of Minister Viii
lis return to Honolulu, after his
vacation. as follows: 1T is Sug-
gested that if Mr.. Willis does not
care to return to duty, the Ameri-
can legation at Honolulu, except
for the presence of a COnsul-Gen-
eral, may be closed for the remain
der of Mr.. Cleveland term in the
White House. No difficulty would
result from that. The value of an
American Minister in any country
depends entirely upon his repre-
sentative character. Mr.. Willis
has no value whatever at Homo
lulu. If anything he is standing
atfrOnt to people for whom the
people of this country feel warm
attachment. Why. then. should
he stay there? Or, leaving on a
visit home, return there? The peO-
pie of Hawaii will understand that
the closing of the doors of the le-

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-04-09

Hawaii is today ia a position TO pre-
vent public gambling at horse races
and athletic contests. If our lawmakers
delay passing strict laws simply be
cause it is claimed that the law cannot
be enforced, they are putting the young
men of the country in a dangerous po-
sition, to say nothing of jeopardizing
honest sports. Gambling is inherent
with the average human being, and the
average boy will wager anything from
toOthpick 10 a tin whistle before he is
old enough TO go to school; but it is the
duty of the old members of the cOmmu-
nifty to place all the safeguards possible
around the rising generation, and wipe
out the evil by example as well as pre-
cept Given a legal backing, the people
Of this country can stop gambling in its
most fragrant forms.

LAW AGAINST GAMBLING.

The arguments against the proposed
amendments to the gambling law pre-
scented in the House of Representatives
on Wednesday have been rung with va
rious changes in every State in the
American Union, and every other place
where an attempt has been made to put
an end to public gambling at horse
races and public contests of any kind,
where the final outcome is attended
with a degree of chance. 1t is the same
old plea. In the first place it is said
that horse racing will die out if betting
is stopped, and secondly that prohibi-
tory law cannot be enforced if passed.
There has yet to be cited an instance
where horse racing as a source of public
amusement has not been accompanied
by pool selling and outside betting, and
the same can be said of every other
sport known. Some years ago the State |
of Massachusetts, passed strict laws
against pool selling. Soon after the en-
actment of this law the breeding of !
blOoded horses received an impetus, and
with the extension came the construc-
ton of race tracks throughout the State
and the Inauguration of racing meets.
AT the outset the general public at
tended the meetings and became deeply
interested in the display of good horse
flesh and honest trials of speed. Soon
betting crept in; pool sellers and their
followers increased, and honest racing
the people attracted by tri-
ais of speed gradually withdrew from
the races, the crowds in the grand
stands decreased, and the pool sellers
and ''bookies'' roped in the majority of
the patrons The interest in the indi-
yidual races conferred, not upon superb
Ority of the horses but upon the manip-
ulations of the owners, the drivers and
the pool box
In 1893 the people of Springfield
walked up to the fact that they were 4
harboring a custom that was not only
degrading horse racing, but also exert
ing a pernicious influence upon the
young men of the city. The old law was
brought up and the police reminded of ,
their duty. As a result the pool rooms Z
If Springfield were shut up, and the re- q
'orm instituted spread through the va L
rious communities of the State, and [
wen to Connecticut, where similar laws c
and an equal lack of enforcement OBJ
aimed. Immediately the laws were en-
orced the horsemen and the "bookies''
throughout the State set up a howl that
horse racing would be killed and the
interests of the stock farms seriously
damaged. But the reformers stood by
heir colors, pool selling and public
gambling were reduced to a minimum,
md we have yet to learn of the stock
arm that has made an assignment in L
of the new order of af-
airs The sports have suffered, as
hey can no longer make money by
bleeding young neophytes in a gamb-
ing school that has ruined more than
ne young life. With all the reforms,
.Owever, it will be many a year before
orse racing in New England is raised
o the standard from which it dropped /
When the public began to give way to
he gambler.

The conclusions drawn by the Seattle
Post-InteIligencer in connection 9th
our tariff laws simply prove that the
editorial writer doesn't know what he
is talking about The writer seems to
have gathered d few facts, a larger
quantity of lies, and winds UP by max
ing a very poor guess at the general
situation. The great barrier which faces
proper tariff revision in this country is
the readiness of certain cliques to gross
Iy misrepresent any honest effort to
improve upon our present conditions.
None are so ignorant as those who re-
fuse to learn, and none so detrimental
to a community as those who attempt
to defeat progress by jumping at con-
illusions in order to feather their own
nests.
