LET CHILDREN GAMBLE.
Charge Made by Indiana State Auditor
Against Tom Taggart's Hotel
and One Other

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 20
Warren Bigler, auditor of state, has
written to the French Lick and the
West Baden Springs companies that he
las found that the two hotel companies
have been engaged in ''wanton and will
full violation of the criminal laws" of
the state, and demands that both com
panies cease their unlawful practices"
This is the official finding. In the re-
port the auditor found violations:
In that they contributed to the deI!n-
quency of children by permitting them to
gamble there; in that they permitted gam
bling to be carried on in the hotels; that
the rented rooms that were used for tho
purpose of selling pools; that they rented
rooms wherein gambling was carried on
Pending the appeal of the case to the
supreme court which Attorney General
Miller will ask to be advanced, there
are probably no more steps that the
auditor can take

winners are not winners.
Need makes the neighbor.
Difficulties are but doors of delight.
It is better to right wrongs than to
revenge them.
The lazy man always is proud Of his
patience.
No great work ever was done before
a mirror.
Only a mercerized religion needs to
wear label.
Long public prayers point to short

If your religion is not in everything,
it is in nothing.
1t takes a wide-awake devil to make
sleepy church.
Too many men measure their horse
power by their exhaust.
The sins we wink at to-day are the
ones we work for tomorrow.
You cannot get at mans heart by
getting under his skin.
You never can lift the submerged so

It's always the little man who feels

It's easy to think you are standing
