The N ws ib-sires t i call atten tion to on-* point in .1 n«1 u*■ Mar tin's ohnrg« which may I" over 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. like be strong,’ and ^hen weiRl.ed ~ h L ; wj]1 oc ~, r next F rf.
