SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

People who have old-fashioned ideas of
the sanctity of q mans home cannot look
with equanimity on the action of the police
and the encouragement in the Mason
ease. If the police are going TO devote
their time TO the discovery of petty gam
bling IN private houses we will not only
need a fully recruited police force but
hundreds more in addition. And the police
might as well abandon any pretense of
protecting the community against thieves
and worse, for their time will be all taken
up rounding up the bridge PLAYERS and the
poker enthusiasts who con6ne their
activities to private dwellings and who are
IN no sense common gamblers. Ii the
police don't intend to institute general
crusade, why was Mr.. Mason singled out
for prosecution and held up to public
comment?
And isn't it rather small business for
he attorney-generai's Office to be engaged
