law relative to the prohibiting of
gambling within the corporate limits
of Martinsburg was furnished the
City Council at its regular monthly
meeting on Thursday night by City
Attorney III. A. Downs. The statute
OF West Virginia, which forbids all
games of hazard, was also produced
by the city attorney, along with his
opinion of it.
Attorney Downs, in furnishing the
law, quoted the code of West Vir-
ginia I'm each case, showing that no
gaming tables, lotteries. the playing
of dice or cards for money. etc, are
allowed Relating to the slot ma.

Provides Heavy Fine.
The law passed nearly a quarter
of century ago by the council here
carries a very light fine-from 81 to
$10 fine, or a maximum sentence in
jail of 10 days. The state law, how
ever, deals with gaming In a less
lenient way. 1t places the fine from
500 to $1,000 or Jail sentence of
from 2 to II months.
The city attorney, after he had read
the law to the council gave his
opinion, and showed that the mayor
of a city had been invested with
power equal TO that of a justice Of
the peace and could fine and hand
out Jail sentences the same way.
Attention was paid Mr. Downs
while he read the law to the eoun-
Gil, who discussed the conditions
said to exist in Martinsburg at the
last meeting. Since that time, how
ever, no arrests have been made,
with the exception of two probable
slight offenders.
Would Cost City $4,000.
Regarding the probable opening OF
West Second street, located on the
Boom, Attorney Downs showed that
such scheme would cause an outlay
OF about $4,000.
The reports OF Mr.. Downs, relative
to gambling and the opening of the
street referred to above. were filed,
but no action was taken.
In Sympathy But Cannot Help.
Miss Nota Viewer and Miss Schu-
Ter appeared before the council and
asked for assistance for the Florence
Crittenden Institute, located in Fair
fax County, Va, a. place where reck-
less and unfortunate girls are cared
for. The council made it pain that
1t was in sympathy with the institu-
ton but could offer no aid, as there
is an ordinance against making CON
tributions Of that sort.
May Not Be Legal Action.

America Is in the world war and a
vivid contrast between the motives
that have actuated the United States
900 All it's wars Of the past. those that
have prompted the wars waged by

user and his military machine TO

America Always for Freedom.
In every war America has waged,
Judge Ames showed, there has been
an extension OF liberty and freedom
without territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
while directly the reverse has been
tue OF the conflicts started by Ger
man rulers
lie said he believed that the
United States In the present struggle
is delivering a great message TO the
world rather than Knockout blow

want to bc misunderstood as mini
mizing In any way. the power our

The longer | live the more firmly
! believe that this country has been

ITS soil the best. its mineral wealth
the greatest. its resources illimitable,
tat was left here unknown and
undiscovered. while civilization
tramped over Asia and Europe and
even Mexico for thousands OF years.
Why II was To await the time
when men should begin seeking lib
erty and freedom, when they should
begin seeking a new land where they
could be their own masters and
worship God according to their own
tonscicnCes.
III Is peculiar thing and very
lggestive that this country OF ours
should have been left unsettled until
