GAMBLING LAW NEEDED

The need of law against gambling
in New Mexico with teeth In il" be-
comes more and more apparent. There
Is a gambling law" on the statute
books but IL Is as tame as kitty and
the gamesters of the state are its good
friend
Somebody slipped little joker into
the gambling lawI that says how
gambling shall be Conducted but in no
way prohibits II. sBefore the election
is wasn't a safe subject. because IL had
Been passed by republican legislature
and more or less further denatured by
the states supreme court.
View the matter as you will. the
fact remains that the state is without
u law prohibiting gambling and Il
should be the concern of every good
citizen without regard to his politics
What will the good christian people of
Deming do about the natter
There is open gambling in Deming
Any one can place his gOOt
money on n pretty good substitute for
the roulette wheel and lose il, too. The
city, having licensed the street carni-
'oASf AANthHt tiit AObs AHluA
emily, for no police measures have been
taken to stop it, although there is a
more or less effective ordinance against
gambling. However. this is not intend
ed as criticism of the city admins
tration. The city government has been
unjustly as well as justly assailed for
Its attitude toward games of chance.
ReformerS seldom discriminate
Our district attorney is not blind to
the conditions. neither Is he friendly
to the gamesters, those survivors of a
primitive age of wine, women and
worse but he Is without a law To pre-
vent open gambling In this judicial
district.
If the reformers, professional and
otherwise, want to start something
that will gain them following
among less fanatical citizenship, let
them get busy and start an agitation
for law to prevent gambling in New
Mexico.
We seem TO have plenty Of exhorters
against the ''crime" of card playing
and other questionable" amusements,
but fighters against real evils In Dem
ing have been about as scarce as hens
teeth.
Consider denOuncing somebody for
something that isn't a crime, not even
a misdemeanor or fault before the
law, then resting in the reflected glory
OF imaginary laureis Don Quixote
should laugh.
