Gambling and Sunday Saloons.
The present grand jury seems to be
going after the gambling houses and
Sunday saloons with a vengeance. and
In this they are carrying out the in
stluetlons of Judge Grace, who said
to the grand jury that he wanted them
to especially go after the gambling
business and Sunday saloons. He as.
snred tho grand jury that if they
would indict the gambling house
keepers and the saloon men who kept
their saloons open on Sunday that
he would render every aid possible
TO put an end to both by the convic-
ton sf the guilty persons. OF the
2bo OF more indictments returned up
to date it is said Il large per cent of
them are against the gambling house
keepers and saloon men who keep
open house on Sunday. There has
been much complaint againS- Sunday
saloons and gambling houses both be-
ing violations Of the law. The statutes
positively prohibit saloons running
on Sunday. though they have done so
In Pine Bluff with impunity by buying
oil the city by paying a weekly fine,
while the grand jHries heretofore have
Wlnked at the business.
The keepers cf gambling houses
have also kept the city bought of in
tho same manner as the Sunday sa.
looms, and the grand juries, prior to
the present one, seem to have been
unable to discover the gambling
houses. There is no excuse whatever
for any PERSONS engaging in the bust
ness of conducting a gambling house.
| 1t is dishonest. as well as an Illegal
business, and the present grand jury
| appears to be doing it's full duty in
| the matter of starting a movement in
the courts to put an end to it.
