seventeen years o fhis llfo paying up

who was a constant burden to lilm.
Fntertng politics again, he ran for
congress, and again was badly dofeat-
ed. He then tied to get an appoint-
ment to the United States land office,
bu failed. He became a candidate
for the United States senate, and wan
badly defeated. In 1856 he became a
candidate for the vice presidency ami

These soldiers were sitting at tho
loot ot the Cross gambling for th«
n.il' of l III!.-l while the greatest
! tragedy of the world was being eti-
.•i ted.
Gambling is an old sin. Inscriptions
how that it was practiced atuoiig^hc
li vptlaiif and Chaldean hack toward
the dawn ol history. It ilourlohed
. aiong the Romans and 11 reeks. Th •
Asiatics are infatuated players. To
i;ai.ihle. they have been known to bar
ter properly, personal llbern, and
11 en life. ISurope has been possessed
of the same mania.
During (he ImIi. century, Kurope
was one vast Casino. Wherever hall'
a dozen persons oi position got to-
gether the box was sure to be rattling
and i lie curds were being shuffled
The Princess of Wales and the Duch-
ess of Montague went halves at h.u-
nrd and won $3,000. Charles Fox was
ruined b) gambling lie lost a lor
nine of $7nu,iMiii left hi in by a rich rol
alive. His great debate in the House
of Commons on the relief ot clergy
from the 39th. article was proceeded
by a 22-hour gambling spree at a cost
of $2,500 an hour. It was not confined
to the nobility and rich, Boys and
girls were said to sit down to whist
tables its fellows at college. America
has by no means been free from
gambling.
Gambling leads to other forms of
vice. Chauncey Depew said, "Ninety
per cent of Ihe defalcations and thefts
:ind ruin of youths among people who
are employed in places of (rust are
due to gambling."
Anthony Comstock, when president,
of the society for the suppression of
vice in New York, stated. "Our rec-
ords for one year show that 12H per-
.•oils were either slabbed or shot over
gaming tables."
Gambling was back of the robbery
and murder at the Jackson street
Pnslolllee In Dallas a few days since.
Here are a few excerpts from the tes-
timony: Scrivner testified thai he
end Murphy came to Fort Worth, Jan.
Iltli and met Myers, Wheeler and
Johnnie. Murphy drove them to .i
house In Forth Worih where they
played card, Woiltiosilti) the group
were in a house in Dallas from dark
till midnight. They and two of the
; ion's wives played curds. I,una said
he knows Charlie Jackson who had
loom Itl'i itl the St. James Hotel. He
id not know who put the Yale lock
on the door or the beaver board over;
the windows or why. He did not re-
port the gambling there to the police.'
\ftcr the robbery Liuna saUl Kowtin
said let's go over to Fort Worth as
the) might find a card gem* over
there.
Mj theme, not gambling, but card
playjng. The Cleburne Enterprise,
commenting on the fact that 1 am to
preach a series of sermons in McKln-
ney to help stem the tide of crime
and Immorality, says: "This is com-
mendable, but the Enterprise feels
that. It is not out of place to make a
brief comment on the inability >f
Itev. Marcus to reach the people who
should receive tho message lie is to
deliver. The great problem Is to got
the people who need sermons and ad-
ivonlt.lons within the walls of the
church"." Out I am higher up the
■tream. My message is not to such
characters as Scrivner, Luna or Ro-
wan: not to the boys who are being
indicted In our local courts for gam-
bling: not to the women who play
cards for prizes In the homes of our
city To most of these the message
comes too late. It Is almost impossi-
ble to cure a regular curd player. My
purpose is preventive, and those In
mind are the young. To l.hem I say,
better not play cards.
Card playing borders on gambling.
The plate to fortify Is on the border.
Cards are the tools of the gambler.
Many people gamble without card-,
some few play card ' without gamb-
ling. But the testimony is clear IhtP,
even If some never graduate, the card
game Is Ihe school for gamblers.
A converted gambler at one time
proprietor of :tf> gambling houses tes-
tifies: "During the twenty years I
was In the game, I found that about
• II the men and women who filled tny
l ouses and bet themselves Into ruin
were the product of the homes where
curd playing was encouraged. It's
across the friendly poker tifnle or in
Ihe bridge game that Satan puts Ills
drey brand on the young men and wo-
men of America."
Modern life furnishes a conspicuous
Illustration of this. Of Mr. Klwell,
who some months ago wns murdered
in his luxurious apartment in New-
York, a writer says'. "Mr, Elwell, the
murdered sportsman, was some sev-
enteen years before his death a mem-
ber of the Tompkins Avenue Congre-
mtlonal Church, Brooklyn, n clean-
cut man and active In the life of the
Christian community. Then ho took
to whist playing, became an expert,
dropped out of the church, won mon-
ey gambling and plaving the races,
•mil passed finally Into the outer dark-
ness of a thoroughly corrupt lite."
That card playing lends to cnmh-
I'ng Is evidently the opinion of the
Inw-mnl'tng body of our State. The
t-iw Is ret directed at gambling only,
hut at card playing. Article 548 of
the Penal Code reads: "If any per-
on shall play at any game of enrds
nt any house for retailing splrltous
lln tors. store house, tavern, inn, or
other public house, or in any stroor,
highway, or other public place, or in
any outhouse where people resort, or
••I any place except n private resi-
dence occupied by n family; or If any
person shall hot or wager any pwnoy
or other thine of value, or represen-
tative of either, at an.v game of enrds.
except In a private residence occu-
pied hv a fa mil v, and Ihe provisions of
this act that permits gaming In n pri-
vate residence shall not apply In case
■ooh residence Is one commonly re-
■ or ted to for the purpose of gaming,
he shall be fined not less than $10
nor more than t?!>"
From this statute It t« seen thnt the
law does everything II can, without
entering Ihe Altered precincts of Ihe
home, to put on end to card playing.

MORTHWEST CORNER OF SpUARE
Its good effects are seen In the de-
creased number of arrests for card
playing as compared with dice shoot
Ing, where the mere playing is not an
indictable offense.
The gambling den, either unknown
to or winked at by the officers of the
law, and the home are the only places
now where cards are played. The arm
of the law can reach the gambling
hull. The only power that can reach
card playing in the home is the ap
1 eai to the Christian conscience. If
a card game is started In a store, ho-
tel, street, club house, office, or any-
v here except a private residence oc-
cupied by a family, the peace officers
ean go after It. But into the home
only the voice of the preacher can go
lie can only appeal to the Christian
and good citizenship motive.
If we did not know it to b< true, am!
if the papers did not constantly re-
fresh our memories, we could not be-
lieve that good women would play n
"•ii ie in their homes that the law of
the land will not allow their children
to play at school, their husbands to
play in their club rooms, or their ser-
\ ants to play in the alley.
With tills Incident from real life I
i lose. Some girls were talking of go
log to a card party. A silver-haired
lady silling near said, "Don't, girls,
don't." "Why," they asked, "Dti you
think it wrong to play cards just for
imusement?" As the aged lady raised
her hand to brush back a silver lock,
he said: "I was the mother of a
t'ear bov. When he was three years
o'd his father died. He was my all.
He graduated with honors when
twenty-one. For a long while in de-
ference to my wishes he did not play
cards, A charming young lady per-
suaded him to play his first game.
From parlor games he went to play-
ing for money. One night he played
l^eavlly and lost. Wild with loss, and
boated with passion, he burled his
knife in the heart of his opponent. He
was sent to prison. After ten years
he died. The grass has boon growing
on his grave for many years, but I
ean never forget my great sorrow.
"Don't, girls, don't play cards."

that the meeting was open for dis-
cussion and hoped every one would act

Mr. Truett said the meeting was called
to select candidates for Mayor and

was the pleasure of the meeting. Mr.
Murrus made u motion, which was nec-
olided. that the chulr appoint a com-

<'Hy Marshal John S. McKlnney was
Instructed by Chairman Truett to go
and bring beforo the mooting Mayor
Finch. Commissioner Sam J. Maside
and Add G. Wilson.
Mr. Murrus slated that the com-
mitted. in selecting these gentlemen
as candidates for the city offices, had
In mind tho great amount of unfinish-
ed business In tho city, and was cogni-
zant of the fact that tho present of-
ficers thoroughly understood the pres-
ent conditions, and that a contract had
Just been awarded for street paving,
and this unfinished business could br
accomplished with more dispatch and
with bettor satisfaction to all con-
cornod by tho present officials than It
could bo done by new officers. He
urged that no one leave the meeting,
as he was not. sure the Mayor and
Commissioners selected would accept.
Joe W. Barnes who has been com-
missioner for tho past olght years
would not allow his name to bo pre-
sented as n candidate for re-election.
The committee selected Add (i. Wilson,
one of McKlnney's best known young
business men, as the new candidate for
i 'ommlssloner.
Mr. McKlnney soon returned to the
court house with Mayor I'lnch and
Commissioner Sam J. Massio, Add G.
Wilson arriving a few minutes later.

Mayor Flnnli Speaks.
The newly-selected candidates wore
accorded hourly applause upon their
appearance in the meeting. Mayor
Finch was called on for a speech. He
said that he was not socking the of-
fice again; that he had been serving
the city for the past eight years; that
two years ago It bad been commonly
understood between himself and
Commissioners Massic and Barnes that
they would retire at the end of the two
years, and devote their time to their
own personal business. He said he w;n
grateful for ihe confidence and appre-
ciation which he still retained from
the citizens of McKlnney and that dur-
ing tho past eight years he had en-
deavored to act at all times for best
interests of McKlnney an the cltlteii-
shlp in general. Ho Hald that whatever
hud been accomplished that Commis-
sioners Barnes and Miuuile were due
equal praise. He said he appreciated
the hearty co-operation given him by
the citizenship of McKlnney.
Mayor Finch said that he realized
the next two years ub Mayor of Mc-
Klnncy did not look so promising to
him as tho two years when he was
elected eight years ago. "because I
am getting older. My ambitions are all
in the past, 1 have no ambition now
other than to serve the city, If elected,
as Mayor for the next two years, as Ho-
liest I can, and to so live anil spend
my declining years that when I shall
have been laid not rest in old mother
earth that ft may be said of me that
there lies a man who served Ins city
faithfully and served It well." The
Mayor said that to ivory office and
department In the city government Is
due an equal amount of praise for
whatever good and worthwhile tlii'ig
that has been accomplished for Mc-
Klnney. Although he had decided to
retire anil attend to his own personal
business which he said has been gren'-
ly neglected, yet, when such a people
as tho cltlzo is of McKlnney meet and
select him as a candidate again, he
considered It more of n command
and would therefore accept the nomi-
nation.
