GAMBLING RUNS FULL

Editor. The Times: The mag
nifieent efficiency of the police
department in nipping in the bud
the opening Of gambling place
at South 2lst and X ST., Is some
thing to excite the admiration
of the uninitiated. The individual
who attempted to inflict this
menace TO good government and
orderly conduct in our fair city
should have known better, or. al
least, should have been better
informed. Had he consulted
those who were in a position
to advise him properly he would
have discovered the significant
difference OF being on the out
side looking in" and being ION

He would have discovered that

as members of the association"
they enjoy police protection and
can carry on with impunity their
business of Fleeing the unwary.
OF course. they have TO pay
$500 a month to the association
for this plenary absolution, TO be
distributed according TO the
methods "in such eases made
and provided"
The fact that the party who
20 quickly incurred the righteous
wrath of our police department
in opening up his place of bust
ness without getting the proper
concession or authorization was
stranger in our midst, would
account for his temerity. Had he
made himself familiar with the
methods of law enforcement in
Tacoma he would havs taken the
usual and customary steps to Sc
cure for himself immunity from
arrest and prosecution. and the
prevailing peace and quiet Of our
department of public safety
would not have been so rudely
disturbed. This should be les
son to all persons who might
otherwise unwittingly disturb
the status quo.

DY this time ii is apparent that
- not only were they talking
pictures by which Moses is pur-
ported to have been made aware
Of his Hebrew ancestry, but they
were talking pictures as well.
After the water tight basket
OF rushes had been made ready
to receive the infant which Moses
was to learn was himself, he saw
the mother csress the child and
heard her pray to the God Of
Abraham for its protection. Then
she laid ii in the basket with its
head resting on a pillow of flow
ers, and in a few minutes the
basket was drifting with the cur
rent
In this story Moses recounts
how he followed the pictures Of
the basket until il was carried
TO the shore by an eddy and held
fast in a elump Of rushes. A few
minutes later he saw a beautiful
Egyptian princess come to the
river with her maids to battle.
There was great excitement in
the group when one Of the maids
drew the basket from the river
and found the sleeping infant. As
they were fondling the child and
passing il from one to another
it began to cry. While they were
trying to quiet the child Moses
saw the young girl who had
helped make the basket and had
followed it down the river. run
up TO the princess and heard her
say.
20 princess, shall I call one
Of the Hebrew women that she
may nurse the child for thee :"
The princess told her To do 50.
He saw her run away and re-
turn in q little while with the
woman who had wept when the
child was placed in the basket
and set adrift on the Nile IN a
few minutes the mother was
nursing her own child while the
