The anti-gambling law was ap- proved last Wednesday by Gov. Davis and the gamblers are pack ing their grips and getting out of the state. These people may not hereafter think as kindly of the state of Arkansas as formerly, but the state will be better because of their absence. We are beginning to think the measure is a pretty good law. At first we were inclin- ed to think it would work a hard ship upon mayors of cities and owners of property who might be entirely innocent, but the fact of gambling in town is only a pre- sumption that the mayor knows of 1t or the owner of a building knows of the gambling, but these persons will have chance to show that they knew nothing of it.
