Betting is not a crime, but it not a virtue. It is an ineradio- able foible of human nature. It is generally an unhealthy excite ment and an expensive amuse- mont; it is very seldom, I think, a real enjoyment to those who in- dalge in it. Legislation cannot stamp out this passion, but it

need not foster it.
