against gambling at cnce.
The only argument over advanced
against the morality of gambling is
that in gambling one man takes
another mans money without giving
him an equivalent at all.
Under the present state OF affairs
that is no argument at all.

tradesmen, frequently take our
money without giving us any equi-
valent. Nobody calls them gamblera,
whatever else they may call them.
