POLICY SHOP RAID.
The Bayou City has Taken the Initia-


About a week ago Just as drawing
was about to take place one noon at
we'll known policy shop, at Houston,
t. xas, the district attorney and sheriff
entered the place aud Immediately pro-
ceeded to take CHARGE. There were
about $50 people in the room at the
time, for the most part negroes.
There was no excitement or stamp
eding at the approach of the officers:
in fact the proprietor asked permission
to finish the drawing, Which request,
however, was not granted.
The policy shops are becoming SO
widespread in their perriciOus influence
that they are becoming a source OF
universal complaint The game is so
fascinating that it begets other crime
in the way of petty thefts to get money
with which to play it. Servants who
are sent to market or out to make pur-
chases will steal or 10 cents of the
change with which to buy policy tick
cts. These tickets are generally on
sale at corner groceries. The cheap
ness of the Investment and the TACT
that you can win SO on investment of
) cents if you strike the right com blna-
ton is that which makes the game so
popular. These policy shops have their
strikers or agents all over town, selling
tickets, and it is said that school Al Id
rem are even becoming patrons OF the
game 1t is played very much on the
plan of the Louisiana lottery, the num-
bers being drawn from big glass
wheel. The penalty for esta bli>hing a
lottery is a fine of from 800 to $1,000,
for selling tickets from $40 to 500.

veloped and been made clear He
urged that we should put method into
our charitable work, inveighed against
indiscriminate aims giving. and hinted
at some sort of a charity clearing
house.
That he was correct in his judgment
and wise in his suggestion there can
be no doubt DR. Van Norden knew
when he was speaking that there is
woful waste of charitable energy and
material aid, by reason of the fact that
there is no true system in our relief
extension. But he preferred probably
not to give instances of this truth to
emphasize his remarks. What he
stated has long been apparent to
thoughtful people. We do not help to
helpfulness as we might. We pour into
a vessel that viii not be filed. Half of
our giving is wasted because of our
methods. There is no check upon impo-
sition, no systematic inquiry into real
needs. We take for granted too much,
and comfort ourselves with having
done our full duty by our fellows, when
we have merely given of our substance.
There is such thing as economy in
charity. and it is infinitely better than
loose and indiscriminate work along any
charitable line; better for the aided
and better for the alder.
DR.. Van Norden is not alone in ex-
pressing himself in such ways. Here

amount it annually contributes to re

The winter is coming on. Calls upon
the charitable will presently be plenu-
full, and the response will not be equal
if not made through system. Why shall
not this whole business be brought un-

means difficult We have more than

the lines the Children's Society is now

Under such a scheme or some such
plan we will ascertain exact conditions
We will know the cause of distress ana
discover what remedies ought to be ap-
piled. Assuredly, we will ascertain
that there are many and many leaks
which if stopped up by prevention Will
lessen misery and leave the more OF
aims for the really worthy.
We will discover, as has been done
in other cities, many and many cases
that are never known because pride,
modesty and shame prevent, and yet
cases to which our sympathies ought
to go out, along with our aid. Let the
suggestions of the Children's Society
be taken up, and system be put into our
