looked by many reatlers. ! 1 • *
oharg-d the Pulaski grand jury
that people who met to play
any kind of social gaun lor ‘‘val
uable prizes purchased with funds
to which tie players have con
tributed” are guilty of violating
th.- laws against gambling, lie
<1 nl not include and the law does
not include (according to opinions
of able lawyers and jurists) those
cases where a so Lai club, or a
number of people, meet and are
entertained by a friend ami play
for prizes paid for by the host or
hostess. This is an important
point in law; marking the bounds
where innocent amusement ceases
to be such and'becomes gambling,
when each of the players is finan
cially interested in the prize con
tended for and thereby hazards
something of intrinsic value in
the game; or. in other words,
makes a wager or bet on the result
of the game.
The News does not propose to
inak. an indiscriminate charge of
gambling against all persons who
engage in social card playing or
other games, playing lor prizes.
In the eyes of the law they are not
gamblers. The moral aspect ol'
the matter and the question of in
dulging in innocent amusement-
to excess, however, are questions
for discussion on a higher plane
thaD that of ainenablcnees to the
civil law.
