GAMBLING AT SMITH SHOW
INoc Withstanding There Isu l.nw
Prohibiting the Operutlrtjr (ianit'S
of Chance. It '.was Permitted in
Conway. It Should INot lie AllowV
eel A grain
We cannot help but call attention
to the tl-Agrant violation of the law
in reference to the games of chance
conducted by the Jaincs R Smith's
Shows performing hero during the
entire of last week. These games
may or may not have, been innocent
pastimes conducive to health and
morals of the people; thov may or
may not have been conducted honestly
and fa r y, b it b ) fiis as it may,
the fact remuius that the law prohibited
them and tlmy are just as
much outlawed as is the manufacture
and sale of whiskey and are
ju^t as reprehensible as is the vio
lation of any other statute in the
penal code, and they should not have
been permitted in our community. It
is not for us to say who is responsible
for allowing thorn to proceed, or
whose duty it was to have them
stopped, except by taking the broad
ground that the community at large
is censurable to a. greater or lesser
extent. First, the oflieers of the
law who are charged with the enforcement
of both tho State laws
and tho municipal ordinances and
to apprehend and bring to the bar
of justice those who violate them
in order that tho supremacy of the
law may be upheld and the peace
and dignity of the community maintained.
Second, the law and order
league whose members have voluntarily
taken upon themselves the
most solemn obligation to ap
preheud and prosecute those whe
engage in any and all forms ol
vice that now, or that may hereafter,
exist in the community. The
professing Christians also comes in
h r their lull share or responsiblityfoi
the conditions which were permitted
to exist here last week unrebuked
Hi:d unchecked. They cannot clear
their skirts or evade their self assum
ed responsibility by the untenable
query, "Am I my brother's keeper,'
lor the sacred vows taken upor
themselves around God's holy altar ii
the presence ot listening angels ant
a tending mortals, make them such
And we, too, as individuals andciti
z us, owe it to ourselves and to pos
terit.y to inteiest* ourselves in tin
enforcement o* all la'vs in order tha
the purity of our morals may b<
preserved and the sanctity of oui
livs protected.
Wc call attention to this mattei
because it was a public nuisance am
as such ii should have been abated am
that such willful violation of law am
good morals will not again ue allow
eu in uonway.

Tliv Show Tuesday iMjftit.
The "Scones in tho Union Depot"
was charmingly presented to quite a
large and very pleased audience in
the Auditorium of the Burroughs
High School last Tuesday evening
by members of that school. This
was the first appearance of these
young atnetuers and considering
this fact tliev did remarkably well,
aud won the plaudits of the audience
through sympathy as weli as
merit. The setting of the stage was
in keeping with what is usually observed
in a Union Station, and consequently
realistic.
The selection of tho play, however,
was unfortunate, as there were
some who have never seen inside of
a union station, therefore the scenes
were not fully appreciated, but however,
on the whole, it was rendered
better than was expected and the
audience was highly delighted and
felt that their money was well spent.
