Gambling Should be Broken Up

To the Editcr:-I notice in this morn
ings paper an extract from the Charlotte
News, headed "A Pardon that Ought Not

It appears that Walter Daniel has been
convicted of a misdemeanor-ganbl bling
ard sentenced by Judge Thomas j. Shaw
to six months hard labor on the cham
gang. This means to work by the side
of the felons and wear the stripes of the
prison.
The Governor ia advised not to pardon
this man. Does the News and Observer
think it just and proper punishment
to sentence any citizen to the changing
to wear the stripes of felon-whose
crime is of no greater grade than a mis-
demeaor2
To fine and imprison in jai,-one Or
both, are sometimes necessary in the due
administration of the criminal laws, but
it is not just or proper to sentence to the
chain-gang, any citizen of this State
whose crime is only a misdemeanor No
citizen should be made to suffer the dis
grace of wearing stripes and working side
by side with men convicted of felonies for
the lesser offences No citizen ought ever
to be clad in stripes-the felon's garb-
for a misdemeanor! Let the felons wear
the felon's garb!
l, for one, hope the Governor will
pardon every citizen who has been, or
who may hereafter be, sentenced to the
changing for misdemeanor
