OUR DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

Mr.. A. Levy, district attorney,
has caused a sensation by simply
doing his duty in prosecuting the
gamblers and keepers of low the
aters. Mr.. Levy has just come
out of a city campaign, in which
he was candidate for mayor, and
his motives for thus harrassing the
sporting fraternity are impugned.
He is charged with using his power
to punish his political enemies,
and there is a loud wall on the part
of prominent politicians against
Mr.. Levy. But Mr.. Levy is only
doing his duty. If he continues to
do his duty, and nothing but his
duty, it will be useless for his enc
mics to berate him. There is
large, preponderating sentiment
that will uphold Mr.. Levy in his
official capacity as long as he sim
ply does his duty. The time has
come when the law must be en-
forced, not simply against the law
breaker who has no political pull,
but against the influential ward
heller as we'll.

THE SALOON MAN AND THE
GAMBLER,

It's customary to associate the
saloon man with the gambler. This
is due to the fact that gambling
rooms are located with saloons.
Gambling is an offense against the
peace and dignity of the state, pun
ishable by fine and Imprisonment.
The saloon business is legitimate
licensed occupation, as much so as
the grocery business, the drug
business, or any other business
carried on for the sale of articles to
the public. There is no more rea-
son for associating the saloon bust
ness with the gambling house than
for associating any other business
that happens to be contiguous to a
gambling house with gambling.
But saloon men must keep clear of
all alliance with this class Of law
breakers or suffer the consequences
of adverse public opinion. No
Legitimate trade or occupation can
go into partnership with class of
men who are subject to indictment,
trial, fine and Imprisonment with
out suffering loss of character and
responsibility.
Gambling has been permitted to
be carried on in this city in high
and low places. Gaming houses
have become established institu-
tons. Little complaint is made on
the part of the public, but there is
a strong sentiment among the best
people that the federation of such
places is a shame and disgrace, and
a serious reflection upon the officers
of the law whose duty it is to sup
press all manner of crime. This
sentiment becomes powerful when
aroused and inevitably succeeds in
driving out or at least abating the
evil. The officer of the law who
does his duty cannot wink at a
violation of so plain a law as that
defining the ofense of gambling,
nor can any administration of gov
eminent long exist that closes its
eyes to open and fragrant violations
of the law; nor can any man ex-
pect to receive the support of the
people at the ballot box who relies
upon the votes of law.breakers for
his success. Heretofore the gam
bling fraternity have been treated
as a class of men who should be
tolerated but made to pay fines,
which mostly go to the officers Of
the court. These fines have been
regarded as kind of license to do
business, but at all times the ma
chinery of the courts is powerful
enough to stop gambling as a
business. The retail liquor dealer
can make no alliance with the
gambler without injury to his
legitimate standing as business
man; nor should he take any part
in upholding a class of men who
can only bring bad repute upon all
who associate with them.

And the two young sub-engineers

turned slowly away, muttering:

At the first glance, however e. oar

Harry Burt had some reason to laugh
at the bridge which they were helping
to build.

70 feet, stood ranged in stately process

how could this miserable little rivulet

So thought Burt and Hopkins. and
