The attention of our readers is
directed to the proceedings Of the
City Council which appears on the
first page of the Enterprise to sew
eral ordinances aud especially to
the ordinance relative to gambling.
This is a good step and we only
hope that our police will do their
duty in enforcing the law in arrest
ing all violators. This question Of
promiscuous gambling is problem
that most cities have to contend
with, but there is no reason why q
community should be burdened
with an evil that can and ought to
be eradicated. There is no need OF
making laws if they are not to be
enforced and we hope that they
will be. IA word to the wise is
sufficient.
