Gambling and Gambling

New Mexico is not the only place where kind
of gambling is made the for the liberation of
other kinds of gaJnbling. In New Mexico. says The
Methodist minister at Albuquerque, the who
wish to play bridge whist responsible for weaken
ing the angambling law to such extent that it
be enforced against e poker players and the crap
shooters
In other states. the laws as severe as any
reasonable person could ask but they not enforced
because certain kinds of gambling commonly prac
tccd by people of high Social standing and generally
approved by public sentiment.
If gambling is made crime by the laws of the
state then the law ought to be enforced against all
gamblers yet frequently happens that those persons
who themselves violate this law among the first to
complain if the law is not enforced against gamblers of
another class or station.
On the other hand, if distinction is to be made
between gamblers of various kinds classes as be-
tween poker players in clnbs and bridge players pur
lors between crap shooters in the alleys and keno
players in the lodge rooms, between games that
are run honestly and games that dishonesty;
then those distinctions ought be made clearly in the
law itself and not be left to the discretion of the Off
GERS OF the law

The Anh-Jewish Propaganda P

the campaign that has been carried against the Jews
of the United States This presumably not due to the
fact that the people Of Pueblo are superior mind
character the people of other American cities neither

The people of Pueblo arc average Americans and
they do not claim be than that and the Jews of
Pueblo, meet them every day in business and else
where, better and than the members of
that elsewhere. Indeed they better and no
than ordinary American citizens without regard
to race, and even more without regard to religion
The reason therefore why Pueblo has escaped this
un-American, and likewise unChrstian
campaign dscredt particular class of American
citizens must be that Pueblo does not have the parti
cular element that for has been active in
promoting, forwarding and financing this campaign.
Several months ago The Chieftain called attention
TO a publication alleged to be the records of Jewish
conspiracy directed against Christian civilization by
means of boshevism. These documents were without
any responsible support endorsement and they bore
internal evidence of utter absurdity but they have
nevertheless been accepted authentic by many per-
sons who were glad to find excuse for their
prcudicc, and they have been made the foundation
lack of better material for much of the campaign
against the Jews.
As part of the American nation the people of
Pueblo cannot be held wholly free from responsibility
in this matter and they will be glad of the present
opportunity to express their hearty approval of the
protest recently issued and signed by l2o prominent
Americans, ''This organized campaign of prejudice
and hatrcd says this protest, sis wholly incompatible
with loyal and intelligent American citizenship" That
is the plain truth

The Object Of Prohibition

Commissioner Williams the internal revenue officer,
in statement reviewing the first year Of national
hibon, declares that he is we'll pleased with the work
ings of the Vostead and with the results obtained
by his officers under that law
That the making and distribution of alcoholic
liquors have not been wholly suppressed in the first
of national prohibition is not surprising for
able person expected such result. But the law
has undoubtedly done the big thing for which it
planned 1t has put out of existence the great organ
lied business of making drunkards for profit and if it
has done than tina. it has done enough to justify
its adoption and to mark great step forward in civic
betterment.
The truth is that prohibition has done much
than to break and destroy the organization that
made business of making and selling this particular
kind of poison The things that it has failed to do
Insignificant compared with the things that it has
actually DONE Everyone knows this, and those who
willing to admit it fooling themselves very much
than they are fooling anyone else.

The Reluctant slot Machine
While slight of hand work OF this
description is constantly increasing, II
must not be supposed that New York
has been free of petty fraud until this
year AS n matter of fact, 1t has al
ways suffered moro than any othcr
city in the United States from this
evil. In a way, New forkers nave DC
come accustomed TO it, as they have to
other metropolitan inconvenience.
, There are the slot machines on the clo-
waited and subway stations, for eN-
ample a slot machine is an innocent
apparatus in itself. and is a great boon
to gum-chcwing public, but the slot
machines of these stations are grave
yards of ruined hopes. They arc sup
posed to contain chewing gum, and oc-
casionally they do, but. ah, how often
they don't. Yet never are they empty
OF nickels and pennies thrust in hy
trustful persons who sigh and swear
and miss their trains in an effort to get
something out.
But perhaps the most suspicious
establishments in New York arc tho
hat checking parlors. where surpri7-

ing of these was ono discovery recent
ly made when couple OF hat cheek
boys got into n fight. When the cuests
rushed into tho check room and sue
ceedcd in separating the iratc priuci-

BY degrees tho story came out. II
seems that when a stirEy dancer or

politely requests him TO stop. Rushing
up TO the guests back. tho boy begins
to brush off a cluster OF white rsvcl-
