SIR ROBERT STOUT ON GAMBLING.
Sir Robert Stout is always interesting, if mot always convincing, when he deals with'social questions.- His views 011 the gamibling question, whioli are published ia another part of thils issue, would indicate that he prefers tlhe bookmaker to the totaliisator, so far as Australia is concerned. When lie says that tho totalisator would induce women to gamble, and' that the attendiance at race meetings would be increased if there were no gamibTiiiig, he shows that he possesses a very limited knowledge of the facts suriroumdiimg the sport off (racing. The ideal of the Chief .Justice is tcr abdlkili gamMing entirely. That is a. very worthy ideal, which may be attained when the Millenium arrives. In the meantime, we have to take things as we find them, and do oivv heat to minimise the evils of gambling. Nobody who knows anything of tho subject will suggest that the totalisator produces greater evils tihan tho bookmaker.
