Special Correspondence to The Press
4 DOLLAS, Tex, Feb. 25.-With
the Robertson bill forbidding race
track gambling fayorabIy reported
In the house and waiting action in
the state senate, Texas ministers
and racing men are in the midst OF
b desperate struggle. The issue is
admittedly money versus morals.
The bookmakers say the Robert
son bill, called the pastors bill. will
kill the Dallas state fair. The min.
listers reply that it is better to kill
q fair than corrupt a state. The
issue is Joined fairly.
While the ministers have their
bill in the legislature, the opposi-
tion has a rival one. This last pro-
Sides for gambling by means of the
Paris mutual machines. 1t, too, is
awaiting action in the senate.
Texas makes gambling a felony,
but a special law permits betting at
races, provided it is done within
the Enclosure and on the day the
race was run. The obpect was to
allow the state Of Texas to have
racing In connection with the ex-
hibit of agricultural and manufac-
tured products.
The fair has had the races five
years now, and the races have
overshadowed all other attractions.
After the races last fall Rev. J.
Frank Norris. formerly pastor of a
big Baptist church and now editor
OF the Baptist Standard, launched
. vigorous attack upon the races.
The Pastors association of Dallas
Endorsed his attack and launched q
statewide campaign to repeal the
special law which legalized the
races.
II was a daring step for the pas.
tors to take, for the state fair is
the pride of the people of the state
and the great hobby of the busi
ness element. Two newspaper in
Dallas refused to lend aid to the
ministers, but they redoubled their
activities and went before the
newspapers Of the state. They cir

to the legislators asking that race
track gambling be stopped. Pastors
elsewhere took the same steps.

THE MELANCHOLY MAGNATE

The day that Allegheny & Allan
tic, because of the announced alb
sorption of the Susquehanna sys-
tenn, jumped in one bound to 141, a
sharp featured, keen eyed old man
sat alone in splendid library. The
sensational rise in A. & A. had in
creased his fortune by probably
$5,000,000; yet the old magnate
sighed fervently and gazed into the
fire with a mournful expression. A
pile of flaming newspapers lay
upon the thick, soft carpet, and
black lines ran across the tops of
the pages-lines that peered and
snapped at the great, lonely man.
A servant entered with card.
The great man read: Miss Marie
Lumley-The Moon" He started to
rend the card, then hesitated.
Admit the lady" he ordered.
The trim, serious faced girl at
the door received the summons al
most with unbelief. Now when she
found herself in the great. silent
library, she was abashed.
"Well?" he demanded
The girl waded in, striving des-
perately for the questions that had
seemed so easy before: "Mr. Mar
kleheim, THE public-The Moon
is interested in
The mans face hardened, so that
she halted involuntarily.
"Sit down." he Numbered; then
his countenance lightened again.
You want an interview" he said,
in low, earnest tones. You are

topmost paper of the pile. They

classmates to read and condemn

The girl clinched her hands, and
something like sympathy showed in
her face.
1T is possibly better that the
world should know the truth Of
Stephen L. Markleheim," he went
on. "The journal there called the

but it isn't"
The magnate arose and walked
the floor. 81 have given away

the floor, forgetting the covering

swered the statement of the fair
management by issuing classsc
arraignment of race track gam
bling.
Against the $1,000 and the i'm
piled destruction of the fair they
urged:
Deteriorated manhood.
That no lawmaker has the power
to barter away public morals.
Debauching of public sentimen,
for gain.
That no permanent success is
based upon immortality.
That it is better not to have
fairs than to have them schools Of
vice.
That fairs will eventually be
ruined by race track gambling.
That the race track gambling
draws legions of outlawed gam
blers from other sections.
That the spirit of gambling will
diffuse itself throughout society,
insidiously enter the counting
houses. corrupt clubs, crowd court
dockets, disrupt homes and al
flict society with a worthless and
dangerous population.
