. bdSc Il spectacle anu topic.
SO bad had the papers become in
this respect, the preacher continued
that careful parents were now for-
bidding their children to even look
at the papers during the race war i'll
order that they might not be con
| taminatcd day after day with all this
wrctched mass OF stuff.
In addition to the immediate bru-
taliIing influence OF the tight, its Ell
feet on the reputation OF Reno, by
"damning the little reputation we
have got" was also discussed.
Reno and Nevada" said the man,
receive the saloon and the gamb
ling hall as the greatest asset, plac-
ing them above even the divorce in
.dustry. Reno delights i'll divorces
and advcrtiscs i'll the papers OF the
east that here one can get Il divorce
ON tritlng grounds. We have Il rep
utatiou Tor that, but ii We have this
prize hight and show that VIC are de
lighted i'll getting il, there will be
nothing too bad for the rest oi the
world to think about Reno and Ne
vada.
The influence OF all oi these
things Is 50 bad, continued the
speaker, that even clean saloon men
and gambling men send their chill
dren and families away from the
town to live in Il less malignant at
mospherc.'
III We want these things, We are
doing the best thing to get them, but
ii we want better things, ii we want
students ior the university, decent
people for residents and conservative
capital to invest here, we are doing
the worst thing
The minister then told that 4 real
estate dealer had related that he had
been told by Il Boston capitalist that
a $4,000 deal had fallen through ior
Reno because he understood the
principal Offices were held by gamb
lcrs and that the mayor Of the city
wa, brewer.
Money, the speaker said, was the
answer to the question why this
thing was so eagerly sought. For
the sake OF the dollar Reno is will
Ill 81 th., -.,~ra.l aud ha-t
1t is willing to expose its citizens
and its children to the blight"
Again turning to the newspaper
men with his lash, the speaker stat
cd that to judge from the newspapers
only seven persons i'll the city were
opposed to the prize hight, and sin
OF these were ministers. Hundreds,
however, he said, were against the
tight but they did not make them
selves heard. l he papers were urg
cd on by the business men who ad-
vcrtise and who were cagrc to get
the money that might be lett here
and they were willing to have it ap-
pear that the whole city wa, rotten
because oi the advertisers.
III every man opposed to the hight
had made himself heard" the speak
or said, 1T would not come to Reno,
for no one would go out and eagerly
work to get it, You can't stop the
fight now, presume, but you can
show the cwspapers and the cl1-
zens that you are opposed to 1t.
The intluence of the tight, he SAID
would be to blunt the sensibiitlcs
OF the citizens and make it doubly
necessary to elect a good legislature
next fall in order that legislation
might not be undonc.
I'VE must elect legislaturc,' he
said that will not repeal the anti
gambling law and that will pass a.
taw iorbidding prize lights If we
don't do this, the situation will be
50 bad i'll two years from then that
the people will rise in L mass and
do the work forever. Our work now
has to do with the guilty. vice-pol-
luted, stupetied Reno OF today.
