GAMBLING
WORSE
Than WAR
Rev. Or. Greer So Declares In
a Notable Address Before
Students at Yale.

New Haven, Conn, June i7.-'That
gambling is wrong might be a difficult
thing 10 prove. looking at II theoretically
and ACCIDENTALLY. or up in the air. and.
indeed. arguments might be made for II. !"
said the Rev. David II. Greer, OF New
York. in an address TO students OF Yale
yesterday In Battell chapel.
I'VE know that gambling is wrong
looking at II historically and in the light
OF past human experience. for we see that
it's effects on character and life. personal,
social. commercial and national are bad.
Says young man or woman. or an older
person to us today that he or she sees
no harm In the gambling game or in the
sport that gives new sensations. so long
as the player can afford II. Such one
sees no further than a foot before his
or her face. or across a tables breadth.
or through the length Of a nights amuse-
ment.
But go further back and see II in the
larger range of human perspective; see
and Judge II there as a passion, subtle,
insidous. strong. mastering the strongest
characters. becoming more intense, more
imperious. and more consuming with
every indulgence of IL: consuming heart
and soul. body and conscience; see IL there
and judge H. Its pathway is strewn with
ruins. mental. moral. spiritual; strewn
with disgrace despair. insanity. suicide;
brightest hopes blasted, fairest fame ex-
tinguished, highest types OF character
destroyed. and noblest forms of life
wrecked. a grim and CHASTITY sight is a
look at the work of the gamblers sport.
I'VE talk about the horrors OF war to-
day. but worse than any carnage ever
seen on battlefield is the wreck and DESC
lation OF hope and charcter wrought by
gambling DO not look at the matter
theoretically. but In the larger vision OF
past human experience, and see II there
God not written on the sky. or in the sky
revealed, but on earth through human
life revealed"
DR. Greer said last night in the course
OF a second address TO Yale students:
THE problem OF the saloon in New York,
more particularly the open saloon on
Sunday, Is a grave one and the prohibit
tive method seems TO me TO be folly. The
Christian law as enunciated by Christ is
Resist not evil. but overcome evil with
good. In metaphysics we recognize the
law OF mutual exclusion and substitu-
tion. And so with the saloon, we must
provide for II a substitute that Is better
and cleaner, a place that is reputable and
yet attractive enough for a poor man to
take his family.

IN SECOND
WARD RALLY
WAS Held
The Duty Of Registration Was
Urged by Republican
Speakers.

The Republicans of the Second ward
held large and interesting registration
meeting in What Cheer hall, North Main
street. last evening.
Representative w. NJ p. Bowen was
the first speaker and he said there are
many men OF honesty and integrity In
both parties. but the Republican party
being the party in power in this state
must and does take the responsibility. the
blame or the praise for what is done.
Upon that basis he called the attention
Of his hearers 10 the acts OF the legisla-
ture at its recent January session, and
to express the sincere belief that more
good legislation has been passed by the
present legislature OF Rhode Island than
has been enacted for some time before.
STRIKE REGRETTED.
1T Is, OF course, a matter OF regret to
every citizen that a strike occurred upon
the lines Of the Union Railroad company
after the passage OF the act limiting the
hours OF labor for conductors and motor
men 10 ten. This act, permit me to say,
was passed In the exact language asked
for by the Conductors and Motormen's
union, and If there be any defect I'm Its
wording II is the fault of those proposing
II and not the fault OF the general assem-
bly,, which passed the bill entirely In good
faith. believing IL TO be within the power
OF the state to enact all reasonable regu-
lations for common carriers, but not be-
lieving II TO be within the power of the
state TO regulate the prices OF labor be-
tween employer and employe.
The general assembly also DaSSed
transfer act, about which there has been
much discussion, but which, In any event.
secures practical transfers I'm the city OF
Providence and In every other separate
town and city I'm the state on July 10. II
there are some who consider the act as
not just what they would have passed, the
fact still remains true that under II trans
fers will occur now In less than four
weeks, whereas under some other law
which the railroad would not accept a
much longer delay would ensue. If IL be
true that the Union Railroad company
today has practically a perpetual fran
chise no stronger. II. on the other hand,
the Union Railroad company has only
limited franchise, as contended by some,
the transfer act makes no change.
Another labor law passed by the pres
ent Republican legislature has been
law that no minor under l6 years OF age
and no woman shall be employed in la
boring In any manufacturing or mechan-
ical establishment more than IS hours in
any one week. and not ordinarily exceed
ing ten hours In any one day. The Repub-
lican party In This state has long been
upon record as in favor of all reasonable
laws for the protection Of labor progress

the commonwealth

IMPROVE HARBOR
Congress Makes Appropriation
and Work viii Soon Commence

One OF the most important measures to
residents OF Rhode Island recently passed
by congress- and particularly 20 the city
OF Providence is the bill recently signed
by President Roosevelt.
It>7means that the anchorage basin In
the harbor viii be increased by the ex-
penditure OF an appropriation OF 100000,
which means in the not far future one OF
the best ports in the world.
OF course this is only the beginning OF
an improvement, work on which will be
begun as speedily as possible.
The credit for securing this appropria-
ton is due 10 the joint efforts OF Hon.
James It. Freeman, chairman OF the COM
mitteo on harbor and president OF the
board OF aldermen. Harbor Master Buck
lin and Congressman Bull and Capron.
