those circumstances, I say, it was
a pleasure to the court to preside,
where such men had the final word
to say, the final destiny to determine
in the case.
you are convicted of a serious
offense. Gambling is regarded e
ly everywhere as a serious crime
against society, largely because it is
Turing; Turing to the young; Turing
to the old apparently. A gambling
house is like a trap. 1t appeals to
people to enter, and after entering to
spend their money on a game or
games upon which, in the end, they
ly no chance. If they stay with it.
A man may win a little but he loses
1t again. He may win large sums,
and If he quits then he may go off
with 1t, but the trouble is he will not
quit; he will want to win still larger
sums, and, If he does, from whom
does he win them? From those who
cannot afford to lose, it is the poor
children. Men sometimes; yes, fire.
quently under the influence of intoxi-
eating liquors stand around in
the rooms where gambling is being
conducted, and it often happens hat
these gambling rooms are located
close to saloons and places where Ii
quor is sold, and these men, becom-
ing the victims of drink, obtained
the premises, their reason de-
throned, fall easy prey to the lure of
the gambling vice. These men go
home without their money; their
weeks or months wages are gone;
their wives are suffering in want;
their children are poorly fed and clad
and unable to attend school. And
that home is deserted and why?
Simply because the husband and the
father of that home has been lured
into the gambling house, where his
weakness has been taken advantage
of by the man who runs the wheel,
the man who shakes the dice. And
it is when we look at it in this light
that we see what a serious offense
gambling is against society. With
these institutions of gambling done
away with, men are far more likely
to carry their wages home to their
wives and their families. The child
rem are better clothed and there is
food in the house. The wife will
have the disposition of the weekly or
monthly wages, the children will at
tend school and the merchants bills
will be paid; groceries are more
plentiful in the house. and they are
more likely to be paid for. While
the gambler may get rich the COM
munity becomes poorer.
ut may seem to some, who have
not looked into the question, that 1t
makes money more plentiful, but IT
does not. On the contrary, we find
penury in the house. and money with
drawn from the legitimate channels.
The gambler may spend money in a
n while in our towns
and cities. but that does not make it
plentiful. The little children at
home are the victims and they go
hungry through no fault of theirs.
the people who have
looked into this question of gambl-
ing know that in the Legitimate chan
nels of trade money is not more plen-
tiful.
Gambling is morally wrong, and
the people all oyer the entire civiliz-
world are beginning to realize Ii.

and the legislature of this state has
at last, | say, passed a law against 1t.
A few men have attempted boldly
and have succeeded in violating the
law, but | think in nearly every case
they got into trouble-trouble of a
serious kind too. These prosecu-
tions are evidence that the people
will not stand for violation of the
law.
This jury that convicted you, Mr..
Maher, did o want to find you
guilty. You seem to have a great
many friends; you seem to be a man
of considerable standing in the town;
nobody wants to see you convicted,
and least of all the Judge does not
want to sentence you, but it is as
much our duty TO carry out this law
or any law, as 1t would be our duty II
the president of the United States SAID
our country was in danger TO shout
der arms and march to the front. We
have to do it. Mr.. Maher you are
capable of good things in this world.
You are an intelligent, bright man of
fine appearance, fine presence. For
Gods sake reform your ways and be-
come a responsible citizen. Come
back into this community and show
them that Jack Maher is a man, and
for the few short years of his life he
has transgressed, he will show them
that the spirit of morality and the
spirit of good citizenship is there, aud
he may yet be an example of the best
yet in our state.
In view of the fact, Mr.. Maher,
that this is the first prosecution I'M
der this law, and to demonstrate that
the officials, who are trying to ex-
ecute the law and enforce it, are not
your enemies; are not the enemies of
any man, but have the good of society
at heart; that they are without vim
dietiyeness, and without malice, | will
give you the least sentence under the
law. The sentence of the court is
that you be confined in the Nevada
state penitentiary, located at Carson
City, there to be ~incarcerated for
the period of one year, the term to
commence with the beginning of your
incarceration. Mr.. Maher. ! want to
say to you and to those within the
hearing of my voice that this Is not
a precedent for the court to follow.
] do not believe Judge Taber would
consider a ~preeendent that he would
follow, and | do not consider it a pre-
cedent binding on me. But 1t being
the first case, to show the people are
but that they are o generous un-
der the terms of this law. But II an
court ! think a very much heavier
sentence would be imposed, because
1t has been demonstrated that the
law will be enforced. 1t is not the
purpose to make al example of you
inasmuch as this was the first case.
Il want to say to the people of
Elko and Elko county, and all con-
neeted with the case, and to your
good and beloved Judge Taber, that
! am greatly gratified with the kind
reception | have met with since |
have been in your midst"

MONEY MAKING A TRADE.
But Money Saving Is an Art-An Op-
portunty to Learn This Art.

! An exchange very tersely says that
money making is a business; money
saving is an art. 1T matters not
how much money you maze" writes
the editor, Its the money you save
that counts in the long run. If you
have not begun yet now is the time.
Had the above been written ex-
pressly for Ardmore it could not have
been more in point. Almost any
one can make money Money max
! ing is not only business, as the
writer above quoted says, 1t is an
occupation. Labor, skilled and I'M
skilled, can go into the fields OF daily
avocations and turn out dollars and
cents, but to save them is truly an
art.
A safe, sound and paying invest
ment for the fruits of our daily toll
is the most accredited means OF ac-
quiring the art of saving. Saving in
itself does not mean the niggardly
cutting down of the expenses OF
every day life to a degree Of miserli'
ness. One can enjoy the good things
of life and at the same time save
by putting his odd change. the over
plus of his weekly wage into some
legitimate business concern whose
methods of doing business IS open
and subject to Inspection. The Peo-
pies Building and Loan Association
of Ardmore is just such a business
institution. It's methods are method
ical and open; it is. under the in
Spection of the state banking depart
ment: il affords an opportunity for
investment for the small investor as
well as for the man with greater cap
ital Money placed in this institution
works for you. While you make or
sleep, in fair weather or storm your
dollars, if placed with this concern,
will continue to earn other dollars
for you. For full particulars of the
methods OF the company, together
with an explanation of their absolute
ly safe and sound business methods
