AGAINST GAMBLING. Iho I.Un Issue Club I'lfiCR Thut It Should ho VipproKscd. Notvvithstandiiis the inclemency of the weather , the attendance at its last meeting of the Ui\o Issue club was unusually - usually large and an intciestius program w as carried out Judge Ambrose was the principal speaker of the evening , selecting for his subject- "Needed Uuforms and How to Secure Them " Troiii start to finish the speaker pouiod hot shot into gambling and the social o\il. Ho declared that of all the o\ils gambling was the worst , "for , " said he , "if \ou dcstioy the gambling hells , you take the front doois from the other places of vice. " He contended that nothing destroyed the soul like u licensed vice. At ono time the gambler was allowed to take his lay out , do business anil pay a line of from $5 to ' 00 per month. Since then things had changed and the gamblers w oie punished ny being com pelled to i > .ij ? lf > 0 per month into the city treasury. "With this plan the city has become como tlio Monte Carlo of the west , " con tinued the judge. Tlio speaker was of the opinion that the women of the city should take hold of the matter and carry the tight right into the camp of the enemy. If u club of 200 women would go out and declare against the sin. more could be accomplished than bv twice the number of men , and in proof of this the speaker cited some of the work that had been performed by tlio "Women's club of Chicago. " The use of license and fine money for the support of the public schools was bad , as it was a principle that aided and abutted crime. Judge Wakelev , Judge Brook : , Silas Cobb and Chairman Heller spoke the same senti ments , Air Heller making the sweeping statement that the public would not elect ollicials who would not enforce the laws By the election of pmo men a blow , the speaker s lid , would bo struck light at the root of the C\il.
