''AWAY WITH IT."
Able Editorial ON the Gambling Que stior
From the Anaconda Standard.

The Standard is somewhat surpris-
ed to learn that members of the leg
islature who are acknowledgements
ed throughout the state as it's
opposed to the appeal of the licensing
gambling. That these gentlemen
have any sympathy with the gambl-
ing fraternity. or that they are infiu-
enced by fear of antagonizing this
element at the polls, is an assumption
that the standard instantly repudi-
ates. They are honest i'm their belief
that the state cannot at the present
time afford to relinquish the
derived from gambling licenses.
They reason that as gambling is
certain to he continued in Montana
secretly, if not openly. people ought
to make the best of the situation
by compelling vice to contribute
towards the public expenses.
1t is not necessary to waste any
words about the moral side of the
question-everybody knows the fear

| the desolated homes, In defalcation.
| the murders. suicides, crimes of every
| sort that follow i'm its train. The
question simply is. can h state of
Montana survive the loss OF it's gamb-
ling revenues? The standard unhesi-
| tatingly answers that it can. In the
first place. the gentlemen Of the legis-
lature should remember that thechief
source of these revenues has been in
Butte, and that. as gambling is now
prohibited i'm Butte by city ordinance.
the state is SURE to lose a large por-
ton of its gambling tax. anyway.
Other cities are more than likely tO
follow the example of Butte. The
fact is. dismissing all moral consider.
a%tions, reputable citizens everywhere
are beginning to- realize that licensed
gambling is a distinct discredit to
the single state in the whole union
that still permits it; and, law or NJ
