PORTUGAL WILL
CHECK GAMBLING
Government Now Enforces Law
on Offenders
AMERICAN TOURISTS
SPEND MONEY
Campaign to Stop Wild Life
I Started by Newspapers on
Request of Citizens

Lisbon, Portugal, Sept. 17.--Gambl-
ing which fiourished here to an eX-
traordinary degree after the armistice
has suffered a severe check at the
hanas OF the now government naded
by Premier Bn 9tista. Until short time
ego, the gambling houses remained
unGisturbed but since Baptista's gov
ernment took office the law has been
vigorously enforced and today there
are few visible signs of the prosperity
the gamblers have enjoyed for a year.
The gambling mania began to man
ifest itself as soon as the war ended.
Magnificent clubs on which big for
tunes must have been spent suddenly
sprang UP like mushrooms; gilded.
glittering clubs, splendidly furnished.
such as Lisbon never dreamed of pos
sessing. Palaces belonging>tOE the old
aristocracy We're rented at incredible
prices anI transformed into The Ma
jestiC," The Palace Club" Maxim -
"Palais Royal" and dozen of others on
the same scale, with restaurants, ball
rooms and gambling rooms; every
thing being perfectly planned and car
iied out on the most modern and ax-
pensive lines, Hundreds of smaller
limitations followed, until it may with
truth be said, that not a street in
Lisbon was without two or three
gambling houses. .. ..
A great change came over the
humdrum social life of Lisbon, where
nothing in the way of amusement
ever happens beyond theaters and
moving picture shows. The club res
taurant's excellent cuisine, attracted
fashionable crowds, constant relays OF
American and English tourists spent
their money lavishly and smartly
dressed women coming nobody knows
from where were doubtful source of
attraction in the streets by day and
at the clubs by night.
This condition existed for we'll over
year. Then well-known firms were
robbed by trusted employees.
An officer who wore the Cross of
War, shot himself after losing large
sums -of money, which were not his.
Young men belonging to the best
families fell into disgrace.
A campaign was then begun by part
Of the Portuguese press, headed by the
Seculo ana the Situacao. Columns Of
letters from parents and well-known
Lisbonites were printed daily, disclos-
ing ,demoraliZing facts and exhorting
the government to close the clubs
The governments, however, rapidly
succeeding each other, had other
things to attend TO. And the gambling
continued.
When the Baptista government
came into office strenuous measures
were taken. The magnificent clubs,
the glittering restaurants, the smart
foreign women aH disappeared as sud
denly as they had burst upon the
scene year ago.
For a week carts and camions con-
Veying roulette tables and other
gambling paraphernalia to the police
stations formed the chief attraction of
the Lisbon streets.
Frequent attempts have since been
made TO reopen restorts. Recently
the Palais Royal club was reestablish-
| ed, |ostensibly as a restaurant. Three
days after 1t was closed by the police,
after a raid.

100000 Extra Vote Offer
Will End Wednesday
March IL, at 8 p. m.

The first vote-offer of the Irish
Standard Progress Club will come to
close at 8 o'clock, Wednesday night,
March 18th. Candidates living in
Minneapolis must bring in their sub
scriptions before that hour or send
them in so that they will reach the
club department before closing time,
Wednesday night.
Candidates living in cities and
towns outside of Minneapolis, have
the privilege of mailing their SUBJ
scriptions and votes in. However, it
is necessary that they are mailed on
Wednesday evening so they will show
a postmark before 8 p. m.
First Offer Best.
This first offer of extra votes is
the best one that will be made during
the campaign. Each $40 worth Of
new subscriptions secured and turned
in by March 18th will count for 200,-
900 extra votes. This is in addition
to the regular votes earned on each
subscription and those who take ad-
vantage of this splendid offer will
enable themselves to get big lead in
the campaign.
Best Time to Join.
This is also splendid time to join
the Irish Standard Progress Club. In
fact, it is expected that the next few
days will show many new candidates
have Joined the club. Quite good
many who have entered their names
have not as yet made q start. Per-
haps they are holding back their
votes, expecting that there will be a
bigger offer made later on in the cam
paign. For the advantage of tn5se
who are skeptical about this matter,
the Irish Standard wishes to state
positively that this present offer of
extra votes is the biggest that will be
made during the campaign. Those
who hold back their votes after We'd
nesday, March 18th, will loose many
thousands of votes by not turning
them in.
Plenty Of Territory.
There are still great many
towns and cities where the Irish Stan
dard circulates that are not repre-
sented by a candidate. Readers should
look over the list carefully today and
send in the name Of some popular
young man or woman from those
towns in which no candidate has
entered.
Readers are also urged to save the
free votes and turn them in for their
favorite candidate in the Progress
Club. Just fill out the blank and
send it to the Office Of the Irish Stan
dard or to the candidates themselves.
Be sure that they are mailed early in
order that they will reach the Irish
Standard in time.

to Emerald Isle.
This letter has been addressed to
the editor of the Manchester Guard
ian by the Rev. Father F. A. Lowe,
whose qualifications to speak as an
unbiased Englishman to his fellow.
countrymen on the conditions they
have brought into existence in Ire
land, are stated in the opening para
graph. Knowing the warm esteem in
which Father Lowe is held by the
Irish people in Manchester we are
proud that he asked the Watchword
of Labor to communicate these gen.
erous sentiments to the Irish people
in Ireland.
Editor Manchester Guardian:
Ireland is a separate nation, with
her distinctive national aspirations,
ideals and characteristics. AS such
she has innate and inalienable right
to choose her own government and
manage her own affairs. She does
not ask or wish for any voice in the
management of England or the Brit
ish Empire. The English, or, if you
like, the British government in Ire
land, is an alien and foreign power,
an alien and foreign race to all true
Irish people.
Liberty Gagged.
We set out in the war to fight for
the rights and liberties of small ma.
tions; we set out to crush Prussian
militarism; we went forth to battle
for right, justice and honor. We
thought that after the war we should
see those ideals and principles car
ried faithfully out. And now. how has
England acted towards the noble,
generous-hearted Ireland. She denies
her the rights and liberties that she
does not hesitate to give to colored
races; she has set up in Ireland q
maddening and brutal militarism
more ruthless and liberty crushing
than any Prussian militarism; she has
turned Ireland into one vast prison
house. where liberty is gagged and
bound hands and feet; she denies her
freedom of speech in her own house;
she shoots down in cold blood the
Irish patriots who dare to assert their
own nationality and who have the
courage to tell England that she is a
robber in their own land.
No Englishman would stand for q
day what Ireland has stood for cen
turtles. Centuries before bloody Eliza
beth and butcher Cromwell, of baby
killing and woman killing fame, desc
Grated with their bloodstained feet OF
lust the sacred soil of Ireland. Ire
land has had to endure one long
ceaseless martyrdom. 1t is not ques
ton of whether Ireland would mis-
manage her own affairs If left to her
self. She certainly could never have
mismanaged her affairs as England
has done with her CHASTITY blunders
and her unparalleled record of crime
chaos and ruin. 1t is a question oi
whether Ireland as separate and
distinct nation has a right to govern
her own land and be master of hel
own household. No answer is neces
sary. BY right divine, by natural law
by human law, Ireland has right tc
say to England: Hands off Ireland
Ireland is not your property, it II
ours; not your castle, It is ours; moi
your nation, bat our own.
A Parallel Case.
Supposing Germany beat England
would we as Englishmen sit dow1
calmly under German authority OF
government? Would we look will
complacency upon a German army O
occupation? Would we not rise IL
rebellion If we saw German tank.
and guns and her multiplied apparatu.
