AWAKENING THE COMMUNITY
CONSCIENCE A FEW OBSEp-
vAriONS on MUNICIPAL PROB
LENS OF THE OAY-THE
QUESTION OF RESPONSIBILITY.

So general is the demand in every
part of the country for stricter en-
forcement of the laws. that it appears
to be sort of crusade in the name
Of public decency. against the powers
in authority who abuse that authority
to protect vice. There is hardly a
city that has not its organization de-
voted to the public welfare. which has
taken up as its immediate work the
securing OF proper respect for law.
AS Is usual. the newspapers are in the
forefront of the battle line and il is
only by their noble work that such a
crusade as that now beginning can
ever be made effective.
1t is deeply gratifying to- note that
practically all these movements in
the cities are taking the form of de-
mands upon public officers for the en-
forcement of the statutes and ordi-
nances. rather than attacks direct up-
on those engaged an illegal traffic or
occupations. The latter is hardly the
proper province of the true reformer.
III he hopes to accomplish any real
good And even under the procedure
that has been adopted there is a right
way and a wrong way
The right way is to rouse public
opinion to such an extent that the de-
mand for law enforcement will be
general and compelling, and truly rep
resentative of the honest conviction
and sentiment of the people. The
wrong way is TO attempt to make the
mayors and police boards the scape-
goats for all the sins of the whole com
nunity in which they live and serve
or rule. as the case may be
IL has been brought out clearly in
this column within a few days that law
Is in itself powerless. and that before
IL can become effective il must have
behind IL the force of an enlightened
and powerful public sentiment. II has
been shown also how the modern oath
OF Office" has been turned into a mere
promise to enforce those laws that
the people" want enforced and to let
the others alone. This being true. to
,-@' VIC NauSt VI lile rampage OF I'M
controlled vice In our cities We must
look far deeper than the mere infideI-
ity of a public official
The delinquency is in the people
and to the people ''reformers'' must
look for that support which alone can
make reform" permanent II is pub
lie sentiment that needs to be- aroused
In favor Of decency and in favor or
law enforcement. before personal ap-
peals to elective officials will have the
least weight
II may be said with truth that in ALI
the present crusades in tn. cities the
influence OF the words of Bishop Pot
ter OF New York. quoted a few days
ago in this column. may be directly
traced. Bishop Potter is first of all |
man. and practical man: then he is
n churchman. He recognizes. as all !
frank and intelligent men must rec
ognize. that vice will exist in the cities.
and that IL cannot be wholly suppress
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1900-12-01

Within week this matter has
found judicial Interpretation. II is not
the first time. by any means. but this
case is so recent as to merit attention.

rision of the lawless. where are true
law abiding citizens. who wish to be
protected in their pursuit OF happiness.
to look for redress? Again. it is to the
people themselves. through the arous-
ing of an enlightened public sentiment.
that we must look for the first upward
movement
The professional gamblers are hardly
more to blame than are those
people who are presumably more en-
lightened and more moral. but who
countenance practices that lead up to
professional gambling as inevitably as
the sign language led To writing
The reference is to gambling in pri-
vate. for prizes. that are every day
becoming more elaborate anu more To
be fought for. II is an ominous. yet
indisputable fact. that our children are
being reared as gamblers. They are al
lowed to believe that any way of get
ting money or other prize is right. and
that they need not consider it's source.
Some people will laugh at this. and at
once adduce the argument that play
ing at home for a prize is nothing. be-
cause there is no stake. nothing to- lose
in case luck goes against the player.
As to this. il is well known fact
that the most inveterate gamesters
play. for the excitement rather than
the money prize. and one need not go
far to prove that the home gamblers
in numberless instances stake their ex-
element In the game. their certain dis
appointment in case OF loss, against
the actual prize. II is the spirit of
gambling in essence. without the
financial loss and frequent ruin that
follow in the train OF the excitement
at the public gaming table.
Ngfhir,
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1900-12-01

criminal court at Springfield. Missouri.
instructed the grand jury to indict all
people who play progressive euchre or
duplicate whist. for gambling. In his
instructions. the judge said:
THE law makes all games OF hazard
criminal. with no regard whatever to
the amount of the stakes. 1t is no less
or more a crime to play duplicate whist
or progressive euchre in private homes
for prizes. depending upon the chances
of holding the best cards. than for
plug hat. kid glove professionals to
play draw poker in their own gilded
apartments for big stakes. The little
darky who shoots craps. in the back
alley for copper shoot. is no more
or less n violator of the law than they
and if he is to be punished. why
should gambling INDUCED in by highly
punished?"
The judges Interpretation is ex-
treme. according to modern notions.
and although the Texas law is the
same as that of Missouri in this res
pect. it would be too much to expect
that. any Texas grand jury could be
found to indict on such presentment.
Nor would it be of any use. Law will
never effect a moral reform. 1t is an
aid to moral reform. insofar as it
and tends to coagulate public opinion.
But such a reform as this the Missouri
judge attempts must be effected with
in the individual. and criminal prose-
cutions could only be spasmodic and
Intellectual in the nature of things.

In any discussion like the present
let 1t be kept in mind that tor any Of
Tense against the laws or against pub
lie morals, three factors are to be held
responsible in the following order:
I. The people.
- The officials.
, The offenders.
