Let Us Not Take
a Step Backward

Mr. Editor-Dcar Sir
We're 1t not for the fact that there
might be few individuals mslcG by
the statement made by Mr. Ambrose
on the public Pool Hall" question,
would not consent to writing furth-
or on the subject, or to take up space
in your splendid paper; but he re-
fers us TO private tables and pool
tables found In the Young Mems Christ.
ian Association In the piece | wrote
for publication In your paper, did
not mention anything about private
pool or tables" used by Christian
organizations The, question at issue
was the granting of a license for
public pool hall" If private pool
tables were thought to be good things
to keep the boys at home ! would not
raise an objection, although | doubt
the wisdom of doing that Again the
Y. NJ G. A. Is "A Christian society, or
ganized for the moral and social de-
yolopment of the young men, and the
tables are used by its members free
of charge and are under Christian
control. But n Public Pool Hall"
installed to get money out of the pat
rons would be in my opinion an en-
tirely different thing and an absolute
mistake. have visited Y. NJ. C. A.
places of amusement, have been in
homes where they have private pool
tables, and talked with officers where
public pool halls" are in operation
and | have yet the first man to say
that a public pool table" is good
thing for the boys. II may be a pro-
lltable way to get the money out of
the boys, but not for his moral and
social good
Mr.. Ambrose promises he will run
a good respectable place and that he
will do exactly what the City Council
desires in the matter, he may be sin
cere in his promises. but promises
are often broken do not say that
Mr.. Ambrose would break his promise
but someone else who might want a
license may; someone perhaps who
is not so careful to listen to the will
of the Council. Public Pool Halls"
have been tried out In other places
and have no hesitancy in saying to
the injury of the boys and patrons
II is great deal like trying to run
Ia saloon under strict regulations"
il cannot be done to the moral uplift
of the community | admire the stand
you have taken In the liquor question
as well as this one now Under con-
sideratipn Let us not take step
