eating is usually postponed until after the

GAMBLING LAW IS MODIFIED

Last evening in the Assembly
the bill aimed to amend the present
antigam bling law was passed.
Under the new bill it allows the
playing of whist, stuff, five hundred
and other social games but not for
money or as gambling method.
Several attempts were made to
include faro and other percentage
games which were promptly voted
down. The bill finally went through
with constitutional majority.
Under the old law it was un.
lawful to even have cards in ones
possession and it is safe to say that
every man who has enjoyed a
game for pleasure has violated the
provisions of the old law. Both
political parties were pledged to
right this small wrong and it is
but just that the action taken last
evening by the Assembly should be
sustained. Nevada has the hest
anti-gambing law Of any state in
the Union and it should be kept
the best. There is no need for
licensed gambling and the making
Of a violation felony is the only
provision that prevents the law
from becoming a farce. Carson

why JUSTICE DEMANDS
FREE TEXT BOOKS

A proposition is before the leg
islature to give the'school children
free text books. AS the law now
provides free text books for indi-
gent children. we can see no good
reason for taxing the peoplr to buy
text books for all the children in
the state. The law is all right as
it is.-Elko Independent.
The Revive is surprised at the
above from the able edito, of the
Independent. We force children to
attend schoo, then insist that they
confess pauperism before we vii!
supply them with the necessary
books for study. Thus, at the out.
set of life, is the child of Door
parents Inundated and his Spirit
broken. No child should be placed
in position where it is subject to
the taunts and jihes or even the
pity of other children; and the
only way to avoid this is to place
all on an equal footing. So long
as we compel attendance at school
we should provide all the necessary
means for study. to all a!ike-and
free to all. -ClarkCounty Review.
The editor of the Independent
taught school in Nevada for twelve
years or more and he does not
remember a single child being
"humiliated and his spirit broken"
because he was furnished the
necessary books at the expense OF
the school district. The plea of the
editor of the Review is based
altogether upon n mistaken
sympathy. 1t does credit TO hi.
heart but not to his. Judgement.
Of course, we appreciate the
Reviews compliment.
