SHERIDAN VS.. BILLINGS.
Crack Bowlers Will Play Second
Series Tonight.

The bowlers of Sheridan and Bill
ings will try conclusions for the sec
ond time and the local players will
endeayor to reverse the standing of
the two teams. When Billings went
to the Wyoming town it was to come
back defeated, by eight pins. This
advantage. of course, still stands to
the other men and tonight Billings
will try to overcome it and add enough
more to give the two series to the
home team. This may not prove a
very easy matter, as the Sheridanites
are players from away back and hold
the championship Of northern Wyom-
ing. The visiting team is composed
of Charles P. Story, M. Toomey, A.
Luce and John Morris. Salisbury,
Corey and Daniels will be the local
men, with Tschudy on the bench as
substitute. The game will begin at
$50 o'clock.

NEW BOND ISSUE.
Proposition May Be Submitted b,
Board of Education.

Board Of Education.
From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
Both as a measure of economy and
to tide over a shortage that is an
ticipated later, the board of educa-
ton may decide to submit a PROPOSE
ton for a bond issue to the taxpayers
Of the district before long.
At last nights meeting Of the board
President Moss gave notice that he
would bring up the matter of a new
bond issue at the next meeting. He
said that by issuing new bonds some
of those now outstanding could be
redeemed and refunded at a much
lower rate of interest, while money
would also be needed toward the end
of the present term to meet the de-
~ficiency in the fund for the payment
Of teachers salaries, as the money
available for that purpose was insult
icient. The matter was informally
discussed and if submitted it will
probably be in the form of a motion
to make the new issue 100000 or $685.
600, as that is about the amount of
money needed for the two purposes
mentioned.
The board decided to advance the
salary of Miss Goddard, assistant
teacher of the Kindergarten grade,
$40 a month, the advance to take eff
feet on the first Monday of the pres
ent month. This will make the pay
of the position $50 a month, it having
heretofore been only $40.
Action was taken on a large num-
Der of bills, some of which were Or
dered paid, while some were rejected
for various reasons.

on January 9, was for the month end

Duty Of Community in Regard to
Gambling Question.

Billings, February 10, 1903.
Editor Gazette.-A symptom Of the
uneasy working of many minds ap-
pears in the intermittent tactics ap-
piled to gambling in this city.
It is a self-evident truth that a
municipality is no better than it's cit
liens desire it to be.
There ought to be absolutely no
question in the minds of the people
of Billings that upon them, and them
alone, rests the responsibility for
good or bad local government. Every
elector of Billings should recognize
that his duty as a good citizen de-
mands that he participate in the sup
preston of acts which are unlawful
or offensive to public morals. The
coming city election affords an oppor-
tunity of emphatically stamping with
approval or %disaproval the present
system of subordinating the law to ex-
pediency, of increasing the city's ex-
chequer by nominal fines, imposed
monthly, and granting therefor i'm
munity from further interference. Ev-
cry voter should give the matter suf-
ficient thought to be able to de-
termine for himself which course is
the most to be desired, which will be
conducive Of the best results. He
should then insist that only thorough
ly trustworthy men-men who have
the best interests Of the city at heart
selected to fill the municipal
offices which may become vacant, and
afterward see to it that there is a
degree of unanimity displayed at the
polls to leave no possible doubt in
the minds of the gentlemen elected
as to what is desired of them.
One of the wea& st arguments
made against the entorcement of the
anti-gambling law is the familiar one
that it makes business better. Can
any advocate of this theory tell on
what basis of fact or reason this idea
rests? Gambling produces nothing.
It does not make more crops grow.
1t does not increase the output of
factory. 1t does not give the laboring
man more work or increase his wages.
It does not even result in an equal
distribution of the money staked. We
all feel pretty we'll satisfied where
the money comes from, and some of
us know by bitter experience where
it goes. 1t converges from the many
pockets of the wage earne in a
steady stream toward the few of the
professional gamblers. 1t should re-
quire no extended mathematical cal
mate business would derive more
from the expense accounts of 500 than
five. Is there any modern magic
then, by which the money of many
when transferred to the pockets OF
the few can be made to buy more
food, clothing, education, recreation
or used to better advantage for any
of the exchanges which enc to keeI
the wheels of legitimate business
moving? 1t is as logical to say that
professional gamblers and gambling
make a good town as it would be tt
say that the flies that hover around
an empty molasses barrel make i
sweet. The flies are there because
the molasses was there before them
and the gamblers are here because thu
picking" is good. Gamblers may b.
the index of a prosperous town, blu
they exert no influence toward max
ing that prosperity.
