GAMBLING AND BUSINESS

The demand of the merchants in Phoenix that
horse racing in the states capital be abolished
gives effective answer to those persons who
plead that gambling benefits business. When
merchants publicly take the stand that the
Phoenix merchants take, it is a sign that gambl-
ing definitely hurts business instead of aiding
it. And when this action is connected with the
kind of action in California it's truth be-
comes apparent. Due to the demands of
merchants in southern California, for instance,
the Santa Anita track does not open until after
Christmas, whereas BEFORE it used to open be-
fore Christmas
Open gambling, the merchants have found,
definitely hurts business, because it bleeds the
general buying public of money it would other
wise spend for common necessities. When the
salary worker the wage Garner loses part
all of his pay, he lacks the money to pay his
bills, or to spend for food clothing automobiles
and other things. The volume of business thus
declines The merchants find so many of their
bills unpaid that they cannot pay their own bills
The money of their customers has been sphoned
into the hands of a comparatively few, and these
few have no local interest other than to see how
much they accumulate by playing up the
gullibility of suckers.-Arizona Daily Star.

you got working here are ambidextrous.
Ambidextrous, he says, kinda querisomelike.
Sure, l says, ambidextrous means being good
with both hands-as good with one hand as the
other. Like the President I says, he is am
bidextrous. With hand he signs a bill to
increase production in cannon factory, and
with the other he signs which limits the
hours you can work in the same factory-which
cuts down production.
Jack looked kinda dubious don't quite savvy,
he says-it don't look so hot to me. And says,
pardner, you got nothing mel am in the

OF interest in Key West is the
fact that for seven months dur

of him as one of the finest young

In 1888 he was elected to the

opposition of certain Polk county
