REPUBLICAN STATESMAN
Bassett, Nebr.
Rock County

December 3, 1891

     We learn from Mr. Lackaff that he now allows the use of cards in
his saloon simply for amusement.  We are sorry to note this is what has
been a model saloon.  We think he has made a mistake in this.  It is the
amusement and attractiveness of a saloon that makes it dangerous and a
prolific source of drunkedness.  Mr. Lackaff says his saloon is not
paying under the present management.  Perhaps not; we are pleased to
note that he has given Slocum law a fair trial.  We are not certain what
construction of the law will be placed on playing cards for amusement,
but do not believe it will bear an investigation.
