Rensselaer Republican, Volume 26, Number 27, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 March 1894 — Got the Same Things Here. [ARTICLE]

Got the Same Things Here.

Monticteilo Democrat. We notice that quite a number of business houses in town have been provided with a “ruckle in the slot” machine, or rather a cent in the slot affair, for tm*. ben* fit of school childten and others having a penny to spend. Drop in a cent and take out a stick of chewing gum, or perhaps a cigar, that is the way it is done. They are gambling devices, pure and simple, and are silent-, hut potent teachers of gambling. The boys and girls are thus early trained to games of chance and as they grow older they will increase the chance. Here is work for the missionary, right at home.
