NEW YORKS lJISGRACEIPress dispatches telling of woman

tention to New Yorks most lligran t
disgraceNever
in the history of this very
sporty resort has there been suchwholesale indulgence in gambling as
is reported this summer Things have
been run on such a scale that Monte
Carlo Monaco Johore and Macao pale
into insignificance Saratoga has ac¬
quired Port Saids laurels as the wick ¬
edest place on earth The New Yorkpapers teem with stories of vast sums
lost or won at the games the gamblers
being pictured as heroes or demigods
These Saratoga gambling housesenjoy the protection of the lay becausethey contribute liberally to SenatorTom Platts republican strong box
They would doubtless be given thesame protection were the other crowdin control of the state government
it isnt a question of politics Thecondition of things Is rather a reflec-
tion
¬
upon the good people of the statefor their indifference rather than upon
the politicians who take advantage of
that indifference
The pnbllc conscience of New YorkIs greatly shocked when two Thomp ¬tentcent game of craps or some Mottstreet Chinamen play fantan and theandsseverely punished but the men who
