CANNOT STOP GAMBLING.
Rev. William Morrison Gives His
Opinion on Situation in New York.


New York, Sept. 1.-THE Rev. Will
liam Morrison, appointed by Mayor
Gaynor to the new board of inebriety.
had decided after an investigation of
the gambling situation in New York
City, that gambling can no more be
stopped in New York than the sale
of liquor. He suggests that the only
solution of the evil is the licensing of
a certain number of resorts. Mr.. Nor
rison is a close friend of the mayor
and it is believed that his views tally
with those of the mayor.
When we get ready to license and
regulate gambling" says Mr.. Morri-
son, I'VE will have accomplished
something both from the moral and
governmental viewpoint The state
recognizes that it cannot prevent the
sale of liquor, so ii enaets law to
regulate ii in the best way possible.
Why not do the same thing with
gambling? When you do that you
will do away with all opportunity for
police graft
