age may be. We see a lot in the pa

lieve they ought also to try to get a
law strict against rolling bones with
black spots on them, or rather against
these leaders who shoot them. We be
lieve the legislature ought to enact a
law, making it a penitentiary offense
for those leaders, or gamblers who
are of age to gamble with, or lead
those under age into the game.
