LITTLE HARMONY I'M PARTY

reason he 10 not acceptable to Mr..

independent to Ito down and receive the

In tho past it Inns always been pos
sible for the administration to control
the national convention for n second

mantle To some one else there has often

A recent bulletin, issued by the FOREST

During II recent trip Of this kind by a

SALOONS AND
GAMBLING GAMES


According to the report OF james
Nevin, state bullion tax and license
collector, the re are 1856 saloons and Go
gambling games doing business III
Nevada.
The saloons are distributed anon the
various counties as follows:
Washoe, III; NYe, J5g; Esmerai1e,
l57; HumGoldt. l57; Lincoln, "a; Eiko,
II; Churchill, 81; White Pine, 80 Eu-
reka, Lyon and Ormsby counties %
each, Lander, 2i; Store, - .ad Doug
lass, Is.
The gambling games are given by
counties rs follows:
E,meralda, l3S; washoe, IDS; Lin.
coin, 10; Nyc, "a; ilumboldt 81, Elko,
80; Churchill, 81; White Pine, ~; Orms-
by, 10; Lyon, II; Lincoln Is; Douglass,
Is; Eureka 10 and Storey IL.
The Amount OF money these saloons
and gambling Games take from the
other channele % trade is simply cuor
nous and the misery and wreichednCss
they cause no one cnu estimate. Less
than one-halt the number Of saloons
Iong busip IS in this State today would
answer every Legitimate demand Of tine
people and there would be less crime
and distress.
SO far rs the gambling games are
concerned, the only argument advanced
tor their existence il the evenue they
produce. The revenue received from
gambling games falls short Of the
amount the people pay for the suppress
sion and pro , cution OF crimes growing
Out OF them. When to this Is added
the misery, w~retchcdness and ruin they
cause, the argument advanced Tor their
existence loses its force.
The control of the liquor traffic ana
the suppression OF gambling are ques-
tons that the people of Nevada must
meet in the neal future. \ Temperance
wave Is sweeping ove the country and
thousands, who ever before gave the
liquor question thought, are joining
tho crusade against saloons. When
that wave strikes N~evada, what will the
result be? IL may not be a prohibition
OF the sale OF liquor in the state, but it
if sure TO result in higher license and
less saloons.
No legitimate argument, save the Il
based Oh revenue, can be offered IN
favor Of the continuance Of licensed
gambling III this state. Already the
question is being discussed in the
home and in public places and senti.
ment is rapidly crystallizing i'll favor Of
the absolute prohibition Of gambling in
Nevada. The next legislature may not
have the moral courage to remove the
curse, but there viii be one be
many years Tint will the 4ure up 70 the
true standard OF citizenship and wipe
the laws licensing gambling from VI
statute books and place Nevada on the
same moral plane rs the other states.
She il now pointed to with scorn be-
cause is thus blighting, whitening curse
that has been fastened upon her for the
revenue che receives from "a business
prohibited in every other state OF thiS
union.
