We CAN GET ALONG WITHOUT III

Under the above caption the Chi
cago Record Herald, one of the great
est newspapers Of this country, dis
cusses the question of race track
gambling and presents some facts
which Will be interesting 70 the read
ers Of The Optic in view Of the gem
eral interests which is taken in our
new driving park and pleasure ground
and all that pertains TO II.
The Record Herald maintains in the
Following article that Chicago can and
must get along without book-making
In connection with her ace tracks:
Beyond doubt there are some we'll
meaning residents Oh Chicago who
feel that a real public demand exists
for race.track gambling and that 1t
Is impossible fully To Suppress 1t,
even though 1t Is forbidden by the
law.
Let such people ask themselves:
| Why Is there no "race-track bookmak.
ing iii the surrounding states-Wis.
~consin, Iowa. Indiana? Why is there
none In Ohio. in Pennsylvania, in the
New England states, In Maryland
In Virginia, in three-quarters of the
other states of the union? Is there
tyranny over the individual in those
states? DO the people rise in wrath
and demand their sport? The ques
tions answer themselves.
The plain truth is that racettack
gambling as IL Is conducted nowadays
Is not to be regarded rs a sport In any
honest sense of That term, but strict.
w and solely as a gambling game.
The Chicago tracks are not owned
and managed by sporting men, By
lovers Of fine horsess'esh. They ate
every one controlled BY professional
gamblers. with the possible exec .tlon
Of Washington park, and there the dis
tinction Is one Of name rather than
Of fact.

NOT paying the bookmaker anything
