We are libertyloving people. For
the sake of liberty, we are harbor-

very dangerous enemy-the Roman
Catholic Church. The press is silent
on this great question, to protect its
own interests; hence the American
people have not had an opportunity
to learn of the evils Of Romanism

WOMEN AND GAMBLING.

ing is almost prohibited in many
states, and legalized public gambling
will soon be thing Of the past.
In her efforts to obtain rights"
equal to those of man, woman has
successfully beaten man in the gamb-
ling game; euchre parties, bridge
parties or card parties under any
other name are the commonest and
most popular form of entertainment
in every city Of any size, and in many
hamlets Of size too small to calcu-
late.
Often the prizes are for the trifles
so dear to the feminine heart-silk
hose, a dainty bit of embroidered
linen coveted piece of cut glass, or
q beautiful piece of china.
And digniied dowagers, dainty lit
tie matrOns, young brides and sweet
young girls, will sit for hours and
play as desperately for the prize Of
fered, as ever a husky Western gam
bier did for pot" in poker.
A young girl Of "a small city in New
Jersey, accepted an invitation to an
afternoon card party; she was not a
skilled player, and had so told her
hostess; she was placed at table
with some women card-sharps, and
after "the delicious refreshments
were served and the guests were
making ready to depart, the hostess
told the young girl that she was forty
dollars in debt, for the afternoons
entertainment. The Mortified young
girl offered a brooch as "security'
and Immediately went to her father
to tell him Of her experience. He
called the hostess over the phone and
demanded the return Of the piece of
jeWelry, repudiating at the same time
the gambling debt which his daugh-
ter had unwittingly incurred.
That doesn't read very mice"
does it?
There's nothing particularly shock
ing about it to those who travel in
the "set" Of the hostess.
And where is the difference be-
tween horse-racing, faro, poker for
pot" or euchre for a piece Of cut
glass or a pair of silk stockings?
If a thing is wrong, it's wrong in
every phase; there are no degrees of
it less evil than the thing as a whole.
If we are to eliminate gambling,
let's cut it all out. Surely there are
enough ways for social entertainment
which may be made delightful, with
Out CdIu play ms lOf prizes OF
money.
A great many religious denOmina-
tions have put card playing under the
ban, but it is a peculiar fact that the
Roman Catholics are not only openly
in favor Of it as a means for raising
money, but it is the only denomina-
tiOn which holds regular card parties,
or "euchres," as they are called;
everything "goes" as prizes, from
houses and lots to diamond rings; an
admission price is charged, and,
needless to say, as all the prizes are
donated, tremendous sum of money
results from these public card games.
Being under religious" auspices,
the police never interfere, and the
women who attend fight as grim
battle with King, Queen and Ace as
do their brothers in a "quiet game"
elsewhere.
This is another instance of where
the solution to deplorable conditions
is in the hands Of the women of the
country.
1t is quite possible some of the
danes who worked hardest to abol-
ish race-track gambling in New
York, played hardest all that winter
to add to their bridge scores or to
their cut-glass collection.

legation to say good-by to the charge

the Panama consul at New York.
Friction with President Arosemena is
the immediate cause of DR.. Porras' DIFF

simultaneously with the ending of hi'
