There are but few communities in
which gambling is tolerated. fewer
still in which the gamblers are al
lowed to run wide open," and to the
credit of our country be it said, the
sphere Of the gambler is rapidly being
reduced. Private gambling cannot be
prevented but games open to all COM
ers can and should be suppressed in
all enlightened. communities.
Pensacola, together with other
cities, has more than once been
blackened by crimes that can be
charged directly If not to the gam
blers themselves, to the fact that
gambling existed in the community,
and the sporadic efforts of the author
tiles to suppress the evil have not
been permanently successful.
The only way gambling can be
eradicated is by concerted and ener-.
getic action against the gamblers, and
that such action has not been taken,
il view of conditions which are not
only known to exist but which are
common talk, is anything but compli-
mentary to the officials to whom the
PEOPLE have entrusted the enforce
nent of the laws, anG to whom they
look for protection from vice and
crime of every description. 81
