There is no doubt that bookmakers are Quot

NOT only known to the Governor and Attorney
General Of Virginia and the authorities OF Nor
folk, but admitted by the Offenders Ii is like
wise fact that the laws Of Virginia specifically
prohibit bookpaking on horse.races and provide
large penalties for violations Yet, in spite of
the admitted violation and the law dealing with
it, the offenders are allowed to continue their
nefarious trade. The question which presents
itself is, are set of undesirable citizens who
follow the races" and reap rich harvest by
holding out inducements to people to violate
the Law, and play losing game. bigger than the
law of this Commonwealth
II is clearly evident that the bookmakers are
wanted at jamestown Tor without bookmaking
the races would not be success and without the
races the hotels would not be as full AS they
now are, aud money would not be as layishly
spent. The bookmakers can afford TO spend
money recklessly, for they get 1t easily and hand
II ont like spend,hrfts. They care nothing for
expenses because the money has been earned
by others. and so long as bookmaking is toler-

The defense made by the bookmakers is that
the law prohibits tho setting up of book" in a
permanent place, while they perambulate in

be undone by reason of the diseord, Democracy
is Democracy, whether progressive OF eonserva-

the party should be carried out, there be no
arguments as TO what the party has advocated
for years, or what its duty to the nation is at

The definite reports of Democratic inharmouy
should be alarming to Democrats While it Is
practically impossible to keep the shadow Of the
next national campaign for President out OF the
present session of Congress, and men may diff
fer as to what is best to do to insure Democratic
success, it should be realized by all that harmo
