THE GINMBLING LLW

Attorney General St0ddard has
given the following opinion on the
gambling law.
September 20. 1901.
Hon. D. S. Dickerson, Lieutenant
and Acting Governor. Carson
City, Nevada.
Sir:
Pursuant t. you request for an
opinion upon certain questions of
law under what il commonly known
as the anti-gambling Act, approved
March "a, 1910, regarding the day
it is effective. the playing of
certain games, the possession of
gambling property and other
matters, beg to advise: ;"
/ l Section z of the said act pro-
vides- that it shall be effective from
and after the LIST day Of October.
1910. The adverbs of the time
"from and after" used in the
above manner must be given their
ordinary sense and meaning. If
the legislature had intended the
Act to be in effect on and after the
LIST day of October, 1909 appro-
pirate language would have been
employed. The rule in regard to
compilation of time is tnat when
the computation is to be made from
an act done the day on which the
act was done must be included, but
when the computation is to be
made from the day itself and not
from the act done then the day on
which the act was done must be
excluded.

1t is true that some cases appear
to hold otherwise, but as one
authority says, in order to avoid
the application of such rule of
construction there must be some
thing in the act, or as the result
of a literal application of the
words to the subject treated by
it, to indicate contrary intent"
! Words & Prases, vol. 4, 1886.
l am of the opinion that the
words from and after" fixed the
date named as point or period of
time after which the act is in
effect. 49,
2. The title of the Act reads:
IAN Act to prohibit gambling, pre-
vidlng for the destruction of gamb-
ling property and other matters
relating thereto"
1t will be observed that the title
in no manner indicates that other
than gambling games are prohibit
ed, nor does the Act itself attempt
to define gambling or gambling
games.
BY Section II of Article w of
the Nevada Constitution it is pro-
vided that each law enacted shall
embrace but one subject and
matters properly connected there
with, which subject shall be briefly
expressed in the title and the
authorities are unanimous in hold
ing that all matters not indicted in
the title are void; but, as all
statutes are presumed to be con-
stitutional, until declared by the
courts to. be otherwise, It is not
necessary to express an opinion
upon this point. 49,. . q, .'... ..... 80.
Section 1of, the Act makes it
unlawful for any person to- deal,
play or carry on, open or conduct
in any capacity ,wha tever, whist,
bridge, whist, five hundred, solo,
frog or any other card game or
any other banking or per centage
game for money, property checks,
credit or any gambling game, etc
Although at the common law
such games are not per sc gamb.

agreement that some nersnn shall

coed in bridging the gulf which
yaWned between him and his people,
but then this event which he had been
so DESTROYS of bringing about opened
up so many stormy scenes that at
times he regretted he had not let
we'll enough alone"
To the very end his mother looked
on his Jewish wife as an outsider, an
intruder, usurper who had been in
strumental in keeping her only son
from making a brilliant match and
advancing the fortunes of the family.
Another point that engendered great
bitterness in her heart against her
daughter-in-law was that the sons
mGsalliance made it impossible for
the daughters to look as high as they
might have, had Roy married within
lis station.
Her venerable pastor, who had Of
ficiated at her own wedding and
whom she had looked to perform the
same happy offices for her three chill
dren, failed to reconcile the outraged
woman to the new condition of affairs.
Although she made a valiant effort
at friendliness, she never forgave her
daughter-in-law.

father" And Mrs. Jacobs fell to weep
ing.
Bessie looked uneasy, but uncom
pretending, "Oh, don't cry, Aunt
Rachel; I'll do what l can. But why
must the baby have papa's name?
Maybe Roy will pick out some other"
Her aunt now understood that her
niece knew nothing of her recent be-
reavement She was perplexed how
to break the news to her without IN
juring her health in her weakened
condition She now hoped that the
announcement would influence her
niece to do what was right with re-
gard to the baby.
She therefore said in as even
voice as her weeping would permit;
MY poor Bessie, l thought maybe
you knew, but | was surprised to see
you so unconcerned. Your father
died four days ago and was buried
day before yesterday 1t was in the
papers"
When her niece grasped the full
meaning of the dreadful announce
ment, she lay as if death had stricken
her as well as her father. Mrs.
Jacobs became alarmed and hastily
called the nurse. 1t was some little
time before she recovered from the
shock sufficiently to find relief in
flood of tears. Her aunt wept in SYM
pathy. The nurse looked on seriously
disturbed She had grave fears for her
patients health. She demonstrated
but without avail. So perturbed was
she that she stepped to neighbours
phone and called up Mr.. Winthrop,
begging him to come home at once as
the nurse gave Mrs. Jacobs the OPP
portunity she craved, and after relat-
ing all to her niece and explaining
everything as fully as possible, she
gained her consent to see that the
rite of circumcision should be per-
formed. With that promise, she left
to tell Mr.. Jacobs to look after the
details of the ceremony.
When Roy Winthrop arrived and
was told of all that had transpired,
his anger knew no bounds, but he
controlled himself sufficiently to tele-
phone for the doctor in order to have
the physicians advice as to his wifes
health and to the proposed circum-
cision as we'll. The doctor, man
of the new school and full of progress
sive ideas, was entirely in accord with
carrying out the plan as it would
be of permanent benefit to the child
and at present it was necessary not
to irritate the young mother further
by a refusal So Roy was compelled
to give reluctant consent. He felt
that this circumstance put the recon
citation with his mother almost out
of his reach altogether, as the proud
woman would feel that the snare into
which her son had been entrapped
