THE GAMBLER AND VIDE.
The mayor of a certain Michigan town
issued an order to prohibit gambling.
Then came the circulation of a petition
protesting against the suppression of
gambling and games of chance because
" it would damage business.”
By what manner of reasoning any
merchant figures it out that gambling
helps business, is a conundrum. The
gambler is a producer of no business.
He creates nothing for the community,
but lies in wait for easy marks that they
may be bled. Gamblers live off ths in
dustry of other people. They rob the
home of money that should go toward
the necessities of life. They strip the
child of shoes and clothing. They are
warts upon the escutcheon of the body
politic.
When crusades were started for the
suppression of the vice evil, there was a
hue and cry that it "w ould hurt busi
ness."
From the viewpoint of some, morality
and decency and virtue can go the dogs,
so long as “ business is not hurt."
The city which has no gambling and
no dens of iniquity is the city that is on
a sound foundation.
Money which
would vanish in riotous living, finds its
way into legitimate channels of trade.
The home benefits. The merchant ben
efits. The community benefits.
Gambling and vice never made any
city.
That Michigan town should throw
those petitions into the scrap heap, and
support the mayor in all his efforts to
make the place a better town in which
live.
