THE POLICY BUSINESS.

1t looks as If this city had about seen
the end of policy gambling. The SEN
fences imposed by Judge Falhgant upon
two of the offenders who plead guilty
yesterday practically puts an end to that
kind of gambling-the very worst kind
with which the city has been afflicted,
because it's patrons are the poorest class
Of wage earners.
As long as the sentence was a fine, the
proprietors of the game continued 10
conduct it, but now that the court has
decided TO imprison those convicted of a
second offense. it is safe to say that there
will be no more policy writing and draw
ngs.
The remedy for the evil of which there
has been so much complaint, has appar-
emily been found. 1t is not surprising
that the court decided TO deal with the
Offenders more severely than heretofore.
Immediately after the policy places were
raided recently by the sheriff and his
deputies, the policy business was begun
again. II was this, in all probability.
that induced the court to try the effect
OF imprisonment as we'll as a fine. Judge
Falligant is TO be commended for adopt
ing a course that will put a stop to an
evil that has fourished in this city for a
long time.
