A DOUBTFUL MEASURE
Est. Petersburg Independent


If the senate should pass a bill that has been
put through the house at Washington, no news
paper viii be allowed to print betting odds on
any horse-race that is run in this country. The
house passed without roll call a bill prohibiting
newspapers from sending through the mails mat
ter containing the betting odds of horse races,
prize fights, or other contests of endurance or
skill.
This, after all, is matter of more Importance
to newspaper readers than to the newspapers
themselves. If the readers do not want this news
published the newspapers would certainly not
object to leaving it out. But more serious ques-
ton is whether this is the way to get at the evil
sought. If congress wishes to prevent gambling
at the race track, gambling over prize fights it
should seek the necessary authority from the
people to bring those charges about and not jug
gle with the matter in that way.
The precedent is one fraught with danger
Suppose another congress should decide that
speculation on the New York Stock Exchange is
unwise, and should pass a law prohibiting news
papers carrying security prices from going
through the mails.
The Independents opinion of race track and
all other forms of gambling and handbooking is
well known. If those evils can be eradicated by
the method sought we are willing to waive the
point of danger in the precedent-but it can not
be done in that way
