CAN BE STOPPED.
DR.. Washington Gladden's View of
Public Gambling.

New Haven Conn., March n.-Dr.
Washington GLADDEN. delivered an address
at the Yale divinity school today on 80
cial Vices
DIR. GLADDEN. insisted that public gamb-
ling could be stopped by proper manifes-
tation on the part of the authorities. The
more insidious forms of gambling in the
drawing room of the upper classes. he de-
cIared to be ruinous to the innocent and
the unsophisticated. As to the temperance
question he was of the opinion that moth
ing that does not offer a substitute for
the saloon as social rendezvous and
meeting places for men can drive the sa-
loon out.
AS TO the social question DR.. GLADDEN.
said that one great source of its effect is
that with prosperity growing luxurious
ness has caused marriage to be deferred
by young men and parents in many in
stances will not permit their daughters
to marry any but well to do or rich men,
which has had the effect of creating So
cial immortality.
AS to speculation, DIR. GLADDEN. said it
violates the Christian principle of give
as much you can" and does not have
the right ethical influence.
