History Of The Killing of the
Bucket Shop in North Car
Dina.
News and Observer.

In some respects the best act
OF the Legislature of 1905, which
did many good things, was the
passage of the Woodland act, de
signed to shut up the bucket
shops and end the bucket shop
evil. 1t had hard Shedding 10 get
through the Legislature, and
when it passed it's opponents de-
clared that the amendments put
on 1t in the Senate would destroy
it. But it shut up the bucket
shops and in this year and half
has saved many thousand dollars
to North Carolina. The bucket
shop folks hated to give up the
soft snap of making big money
by that wheel Of fortune miscall-
ed 'business" and they have for
nearly the whole year and a halt
sought through the courts to
have the law annulled through
constitutional or other grounds.
The Supreme Court of North
Carolina upheld the act and then
an appeal was made TO the Su-
preme Court Of the United States.
On the day before Christmas
that great tribunal handed down
an opinion upholding the North
Carolina act. That permanently
ends the bucket shop evil in
North Carolina. The action OF
the State in this matter has not
only helped North Carolina folks.
bnt has as well helped other
States, for Georgia has passed
and Alabama will pass effective
anti-bucket shop legislation.
North Carolina sets the pacel
Of course there is no way of
telling how much money these
enticing shops carried out of
North Carolina every year. Now
and then by the sort gambling
practiced a man would make
money by some turn of hewheel,
and then the whole country
would try hear of his good luck,
and hard-working men would lose
their ''gumptlon" and take a
turn in the hope that they could
make fortune by gambling. OF
course they called it "specula-
tion" but the fact is it was a
more demoraliZing form of gam
bling than that which poses under
no high sounding name. Not
many years ago prosperous
farmer of Wake, who had dug a
small.sized fortune out of the
ground, was persuaded to give
the wheel a turn. 1t put several
hundred dollars in his pocket
and was his ruin, for he lost in
future operations all that he had
accumulated in, lifetime of
thrift and economy. All over the
South there are men who have
been ruined by this gambling
which was given responsibility.
Men who would have scorned to
play cards moved into the vortex
of betting in these bucket shops
to see their fortunes swallowed
up. Like Silas Warner they put

GOVERNOR SAYS ASSEMBLY
WORKED N0BLY BUT
NOTHING SHOULD BE
LEFT UNDONE.
Call Will be Postponed Until
After the AntiIobby Measure
Becomes a Law.

Jefferson City, Mo-, March.-An
extra session Of the Legislature Is
regarded as a certainty, although 1t
Il not thought that 1t will be called
before next September.
There 10 no fault found with the
work done In the present session,

done.
The.Governor stated, when asked
about q special session, that he
could not say positively that one
would be called, but that II there
was anything to justify anextra ses-
sion he would be bound to call one.
Governor Folk stated that he was
very well pleased with the work OF
the Assembly in passing 30 much i'm
portant legislation. He and many
Others have expressed the belief that
this session has been the busiest one
ever held In this State in the point
OF important legislation.
Among the more important bills
passed are:
The..2-cent passenger rate, maxi
mum freight rate, State primary,
pure food, antilobby, prohibiting
discrimination by Reinsurance com
panies,! race-track gambling, child
labor, antitrust laws, amendment to
the Federal Constitution, good
roads, antidiscrimination and new
banking laws.
Although these laws amount to
far more than any ever enacted at
one session OF the Legislature, 1t is
believed that there Is still sufficient
ground for an extra session.
Another matter which might be
sufficient cause for a special session
Is legislation to govern the liquor
traffic. These, and the quo wsrranto
bill offered by Senator Cooper, may
be made the subjects OF an extra ses
sion Of the Leglsla ature.
Governor Folk will not call the
extra session until after the anti
lobby bill goes into effect, and the
impression prevailes that 1t will be
vigorously enforced at the special
session which is now regarded as a
certainty.
