I’orto Rican Anthem.
from the San Quan News.
My country ’tts of thee,
That set Hawaii free,
Of thee I sing!
I am a slave no more,
I’ve dumped the load I bore
And cease to kneel before
A queen or king.
Land of the brave and just,
Land of the sugar trust.
Hojv sweet to be
Held up outside the gate
And made to pay the freight;
I tell you what it’s great
And ticxles me!
Tlie Social Duties of a Citizen.
GAMBLING.
There is a wide difference of
opinion as to what constitutes
gambling. The law strictly for
bids the playing and betting at
cards for money or other things
of value. The law declares in no
uncertain terms this to be gam
bling. While men consider this
gambling, they do not at all hold
that buying tickets in lotteries,
or dealing in stock speculation is
gambling. Our forefathers saw
no wrong in this kind of specula
tion, for lotteries were licensed
by law, and the funds arising
therefrom were permitted to aid
schools, colleges, churches and
charitable institutions. Many
now see no harm in betting upon
the rise and fall in prices of
goods, of stocks and bonds. Some
good citizens in every community
do this kind of business.
It is evident that gambling does
great harm to society, for the rea
son, it leads to waste and idle
ness. The lotteries are no longer
permitted by law, and within the
memory of our young men, the
Louisiana State Lottery has been
prohibited. Realizing the great
damage to society in this form of
respectable gambling, it will no
[longer be tolerated by the Ameri
jean government.
All kinds or forms of betting,
where men hope to coin by anoth
er’s loss, are as detrimental to
.society as lotteries, or as simply
betting at a game of cards or dice.
The loser has to suffer; the winner
gains by the loss of his neighbor.
[That is the meanest kind of gain,
[that is made at another’s expense.
! What good is gambling in any
itorm to society? By a man’s
Lain, however enormous is society
made richer? Has the example
bio weight on the minds of the
Jvouiig? Suppose a man gains his
[thousands by respectable betting,
bs it is termed, by his own efforts,
Bias he added one jot or title to
[the weath of nations? We think
pot, because by this method of
[obtaining devour wealth, society shifting tends to
itself. It is the of
pnoney from one man to another
without consideration and with
out labor. Thi* wap q( money

enemy to the state as the robber
and the thief.
There is another question that
enters largely into tne discussion
of this subject—that after men
have finished betting, whut has
been accomplished to make society
happier or richer? Men lose a
great deal of time in studying
and furthering their schemes in
speculations of this kind. Then
time cost something, and figured
down to its last analysis, it comes
out of .the industrious, and that of
itself leaves society poor.
A man owes to society his time,
his efforts and his talents, in the
acquisition of honorable wealth,
by honest effort, to set a good ex
ample to all mankind and to de
velop his own as well as the re
sources of the state. When a man
enters into the presence of gam
bling—trying to get something
for nothing—and wishes to make
his living by chances at lotteries
or in dealing in futures, must be
classed as gamblers and enemies
to society, since no honest man
wishes to grow rich or make a
livelihood at the expense of others.
The time is not far distant
when gambling of every kind will
be no longer tolerated. It has no
merit or reason to sustain it. It
is founded in greed. It is there
fore the duty of every good citi
zen who has the interest of the
whole county at heart, to create a
widespread sentiment in opposi
tion to every form of gambling
among the rich-as well as among
the poor. Citizen.
