DEFENSE OF GAMBLING.
Properly Done 1t Is Not a Dissipation
But Recreation

Philadelphia, March 14.-Prof. Herbert
Gardiner Lord of the University of
Columbia, and Prof. VIM. ]. Kirby of
the Catholic University of America,
have, in an address before the Contem-
pOrary club, stated that they could find
no reason for saying that gambling in
itself was wrong. Both expressed the
opinion that gambling cannot be Grad
icated from modern life and that the
wisest thing to do is to properly control
it. The discussion was listened to by
a distinguished audience.
Prof. Kirby, after admitting the theo-
retical legitimacy of gambling, made an
appeal for a course of instructions in
the schools which might lessen gam
bling in the next generation and said
that cities should take up the work of
regulating gambling as an essentially
city problem.
1T may seem strange for me to say
so as a professor of ethics, but I have
never been able to find a reason that
will permit me to say gambling is
wrong. 1t is argued that gambling is
wrong because it is a waste. On the
contrary there is no destruction of
wealth in gambling.
Properly done, gambling is not a dis
sipation but a recreation

ADAMS MAY STAY.
Opposition to Colorado Governor Is
Not in Agreement

Denver, Colo. March 1.-THE supreme
courts decision that the legislature can
not legally declare a vacancy in the
office of governor has simplif1ed the sit
uaticn by eliminating the proposition to
seat Lieutenant Governor Jesse F. Nc
Donald as governor. There is now be-
fore the joint convention of the general
assembly a clear cut issue between
Governor Alva Adams and James H.
Peabody. confession. The joint assembly
must say which of these candidates for
the gOVernOrShip was elected or by de-
clining to give any decision in the con-
test, leave Governor Adams in the chair
where he was constitutionally seated.
Peabody's supporters have endeavor-
ed to make his contest a political is
sue but al least one-third of the &c
Republican members of the general as
sembly have refused to be bound by
any action on the question in caucus,
Twenty-Five Republicans were united
in favor of Senator Morton Alexander's
report declaring a vacancy which the
supreme court has decided can not be
legally adopted. Should five of these
now fall in line with the other A Re
publicans for Peabody he would have a
majority of the joint convention which
consists of 81 members, and would be
declared elected. On the other hand
Governor Adams requires the votes of
Is Republicans in addition to the Demo
cratic votes to give him a majority on
Joint ballot. However, if IS Republi-
cans refuse to vote for either the Pea
body or the Adams report from the con-
test committee, neither of the contest
ants will have a majority and Governor
Adams will continue in office.
The joint convention today listened to
the reading of the supreme courts opin-
ion and then on motion of Senator
Parks. a supporter of Peabody, took a
recess until tomorrow morning. A roll
call on the motion to adjourn resulted
4S to 4S and Lieut.. Governor McDOn-
aid. the presiding officer. then cast the
deciding vote in favor of recess. The
reason given for taking a recess was
the absence of Senator Wood from the
city.
