GAMBLING STOPPED

BY CHlIiESE GOV'T U. S. Consul General Says This Is Great Victory for Reform Element. (National New Association) BY RODERICK CLIFFORD. Washington, May 27. The state department has a report from the consul general at Canton saying that after years of hard and consistent work, the reformers in China have caused the abolishment of licensed gambling, and that this victory is next in. moral importance to the stamping out of legalized opium selling. According to the report, licensed gambling in the province has centered mainly in Canton for years, was prohibited when a vice-regal edict against it in all forms became effective in April. . "The happy eventuation of the antigambling movement," the report says, "was met on all sides by marked rejoicing, and was celebrated by a demonstration in Canton, in which merchants, country and people enthusiastically joined, the principal feature of which was a huge parade which passed for hours through the streets ot the city and portrayed to the people by floats and tableaux the evil results which follow gambling." The history of the anti-gambling movement In China was very similar ' to that of the suppreslon of opium smoking, and was in one way a sequel to it. The great strength which the gambling monopolists commanded was derived from the enormous revenue in taxes which the annually paid to the provincial treasury, and the dif ficulty which lay in the way of the - government in securing a similar rev enue from other sources. Had it not been for the success of the ant-opium campaign, which gave hope to the reformers and the opening of the provisional assembly which placed in their bands a weapon of suf ficient power to enable them to meet the gamblers with a chance of success, it is probable that the movement would have ended in failure. It should not be inferred," the report to the department conunues, "that all the credit for the success of ' the reformers is due to the assembly. Its efforts would have been without avail it it had not fallen back, for sup port upon the better element of the provincial population. r While the assembly ostensibly led the way, it was pushed, assisted, exhorted, and pray- i ed to by the people to fight their bat tle for them." The agitation was carried on against gambling in a sane and dignified man-. ner, and its success was largely the result of the feeling that the act of the government in, licensing gambling was to tne great detriment or tne common people. Also the people came forward with a substitute for the revenue lost from the wreck of the gambling bustness, thereby depriving the officials of their one potent weapon of argument It was proposed at the time that this money be raised by a tax on wines and spirits, increases in salt and prepared opium taxes, and taxes on tobacco, re crackers and butchers, The' first four ot these suggestions have al ready been accepted by the govern ment as practicable. The gambling question was before the asembly in Canton in 1909, during its last session, and on both occasions tha momhora cava tha mnv.m.nt warm support: fin October, 1910, they requested the acting viceroy to memnrlall.Q ttiA IhrAnA . a At a A mi a mi which gambling would be done away with, and when the request was not acted upon the assembly summarily adjourned. ' This move had the desired effect The viceroy at once reported the matter to the throne, by whom It was re ferred to the board of finance. The board replied that a . date would be set when a ' substitute revenue had been found,: whereupon the asembly resumed Its sitting. "The acting viceroy arrived In Canton,", according to the official account of this campaign, "and took over the seals of office on January 4, 1911. After going into the matter of a substi-' tute revenue with a thoroughness seldom seen a Chinese official, he isued' a proclamation In February interdict-, tng gambling of all sorts from the 30th day of March. , "The suppression of gambling is a reform apparently so widely popular that it is probable that no protests will be heard from the people against, the new taxes so long as the revenue derived therefrom is employed as a substitute for that previously received from licensed gambling. With the suppression ot gambling has come the question of providing something for the former employes of the great buslnes to do. Statements place the number of gambling houses in Canton in. recent years at 10,000, employing at least "50,000 men, and frequented by not les than the same number of professional gamblers. The viceroy's interdiction Is not confined to the ; suppression of licensed' gambling, but covers private gambling is welL and strenuous efforts are being made to enforce the proclamation 'n all its provisions.. Special deputies have been appoint-. 3d to watch the premises where gambling was formerly carried on, to make known to the authorities any attempt to reopen them, and spies have been detailed to visit th various "yamens" in Canton to report all cases of gambling among officials. The experience of other govern-' ments In their attempts to break up gambling gives little hope that the Canton viceroy will be successful inhis present movement "It should be recorded to his credit, however, the report says ; on conclusion, "that by abolishing gambling he has removed from his district the stigma of government sanction of the evil, and that he is moving .with all his resources against private indulgences therein.'
