There ha been a good deal of
discussion recently between the
Waco Tribune and some of its
local -contemporaries over the
question of wide-open gambling
houses in Waco.
The Tribune, a. journal for'
which the El Dorado has the
highest regard and esteem, lias
not only recently, but for years,
wagedar against the "licensing"
(for such it is) of gambling in Mc-
Lennan county; but now the Wa-
co Telephone for one, presumes
that the Tribune's editor has
hatched thin gambling argument
to be used against Mr. Thomas
in his race for congressional hon-
ors. Even so, and has not the
Tribune, or any other paper, for
that matter, the right to use. this
argument against Mr. Thomas? Is
there any impropriety in the
crying down of a public servant
who has failed to perform his du-
ty? Is the Telephone ignorant of
the fact that for all these years
the power has remained in Mr.
Thomas' hands to close the gam-
bling dens of Waco on twenty
hour's notice? Surely the man-
agement of this great daily (The
Telephone) is not so ignorant of
the laws of our state that it does
not know that gambling is a vio-
lation, is not in any case admissir
ble and it has been the sworn and
bounden duty of Mr. Thomas and
his colleague administrators to
quell any attempt to establish?
In a place no larger than Waco
it wouldn't require a regiment of
soldiers to close up gambling
houses, Indeed, the county at
torney himself could peremptorily
and authoritatively order that
gambling be closed, and the El
Dorado will venture that in twen-ty-rfour
hours not a gambling
house in Waco would be open.
Nor would they re-open unless

means had failed,
It is trying sha
ficial should be uph1
ly discharging all the duties of hi
office and yet is allowing each
gambling dens to run wide o:
right under their nosel 'Tis
stringent (?) measures art ever be-
ing taken against this vice, inso-
much as many indictments are
found and many fines are imposed
on professional gamblers at each
meeting of the grand jury. But
then! That is no punishment.
Your county attorney is only)
waxing fat on his fee and his
gambling friends are paying a
licens which is "dead easy".
It will be remembAed that in
his first race for coun" attorney
Mr Thomas mqast faithfully
prdmised his constituents that, he
would suppress all gambling in
this country; and. as further proof
of the argument herein put forth,
he did close it for a while a very
short while.
The El Dorado can not sed
wisdom in electing to represent qs
fn our national congress a man
who has failed even in one branch
oi his duties of the county attor-
ney. If a man not handle proper-
ly the affairs of a country, he cer-
tainly should'nt be intrusted with
the affairs of our national govern-
ment. '
Nay, nay, dear Telephone,
regardless of every other befitting
quality and crowning virture of
your friend, the El Doradb be-
lieves the Tribune is right in its
gambling arguments Eddy El-Dorado.
