EDITORIAL | BROS COLVIN’S office is to be congratu- lated for stepping into thé campaign to drive mechanical gambling machines out of the city. There are adults who spend odd nickels or quarters in these machines, and see little harm in them. But, placed as they have been in the neighborhood stores that surround our schools, they become vicious instru- ments in leading our school children into the gambling habit. Children so small that they cannot reach the slot to drop in the coin without standing on a box have been playing these machines, as The Sfar pointed out last week. With this state of affairs permitted by the law en- forcement officials, can we expect anything else than that these same children, when grown, will furnish new “suckers” to be preyed upon by the gambling establishments that are thriving in our midst? Don't stop, Mr. Colvin! If protection is to be given to anyone, let’s pro- tect our children! 1s re ete
