There are exceptions to all

We are firmly convinced that
when the Mayor and Chief of
Police realize that public senti-
ment warrants and will back
them up, they will put the gam
bling dives on notice and there
will be an end to all gaming
in this town. 1t is fact that we
reluctantly admit: but true not
withstanding, that public senti-
ment in this community has been
the one thing that has protected
most of the vices here. But we
are encouraged that the change
is working and that the reform
will speedily follow. Fitzgerald
is not the worst town in the
country, and is steadily improv-

Considerable money has been in
vested in the liquor traffic all
along, and money always counts.
Besides those directly interested

to a rapidly growing city.
1t has taken time to sort out
