The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1909-02-25

The Elizabethtown (Ky.) News, in the
following indictment, shows plainly that
horse racing has been made unpopular and
is being outlawed on account of the dis
honesty of jockeys and gamblers who
have brought it into almost general dis
repute. The dishonest gambler and the
lawless whisky seller generally brings
about his own overthrow by his disregard
for law and contempt of public sentiment:
"The horse racing business has petered
out in this country, not on account OF the
race horse, for he is the noblest product
of the equine species, nor on account OF
betting on the horse, for gentlemen have
done this from time immemorial, but be-
cause the business fell into the hands OF
gamblers and they conducted it in the form
of skin game in which the uninitiated
were robbed. People in this country will
stand good deal, but they invariably balk
at their money being taken from them
without chance"

under Davis, when he was Secretary of
War, and when he joined the Confederacy
