THE FIELD OF BLOOD.

I nth voices of righteous indignation the pastors
w OF the city yesterday united in denouncug the
Ingleside gamblers and the far reaching evil
they maintain at the race course With the fervor OF
men who feel the responsibility resting upon them
as guardians of the moral welfare Of the community,
they upheld the action OF the Supervisors in taking
steps to put an end to the evil, and urged all good
citizens to support the officials in the work OF reform
The pastors know how great has been the evil
wrought by the race course with its hordes OF pool
sellers tempting not only men but young boys and
even women to enter upon the swift and sure, road
to ruin They have watched the dreary record IN
crease in the number of ruined lives wrecked homes
and disgraced families They have therefore spoken
upon the subject with the genuine eoquence OF earn
est feeling. They stand forth as the champions OF
the home as we'll as OF the altar, and plead to the
strength OF humanity act in accord with divine law
and save weaker humanity from the of the evil
which threatens it.
1t full time for the pastors OF the city to speak
out. The issue is of morality and falls clearly
within the scope OF the duty their profession and
to their people The Call is glad to welcome such
strong allies to the cause has SO much heart and
for which it has labored so long 1t can commend
all they have said in their zeal for the right, because
in its work of chronicng the daily occurrences of the
city it has had occasion TO lay before its readers
terrible array of crimes ranging from enbezzlement
to suicide resulting from the effects and the infu-
ences OF what OF the pastors apty called the
field of blood
The Supervisors having now entered upon the work
of freeing the city of the fearful curse should not turn
back stay their hands until the task is fully &C
complished The better portion of the press is with
them the labor organizations with them the mer-
chants are with them, mothers with them and the
clergy are with them, Indeed every force in the COM
munty which makes for good is on their side.
Doubtless the gamblers of the track and their
patrons can rally host sufficient in numbers and loud
enough in talk to seem strong. Doubtless they can
raise considerable sums OF money and get cunning
advocates to fight for the continuance OF the nearious
trade which has proven profitable to them Such
strength as they can muster however is nothing to
that which is against them Business sagacity which
desires to guard employees against temptation to dis
honesty in this instance united in sentiment with
the sacred affections of the home, which seeks the
preservation OF family honor.
1t is no slight issue that is presented to the Super
visors The most vital interests of the people at
stake Hearts, homes and lives we'll as money
are involved San Francisco must be saved from the
menace and the curse of the field OF blood"
