Vesting the Anti-Gambling Laws in Court Tests
The article notes inevitable court tests on what acts constitute gambling crimes under new laws and what evidence is needed for conviction. It dismisses rumors of summer suspensions or favorable rulings for racetrack interests and discusses challenges to constitutionality, including election validity of Senator Wallace and the severity of penalties as a misdemeanor.

Mr. Wallace
Gambling penalties and evidence at racetracks
The constitution left penalties to the Legislature which shifted from civil loss to jail. Evidence of gambling hinges on odds posting, money passing, and bet recording. Without a complete money trail, bookmakers may thrive. Strict proof of linked New York settlements raises issues, but the effort curbs racetrack gambling by limiting it to those with credit.

Why National Conventions Have Grown Dull in Chicago
A Chicago report argues national conventions lost intrigue as voters now largely pick nominees before gatherings. It contrasts 19th century faction battles led by Conkling Cameron and Logan with early 20th century primaries that empowered rank and file Republicans, predicting the 1908 convention will be orderly and reflective of the party’s will.

Congo and Other Colonies Debate Ends In Settlement Hope
The Congo annexation treaty may fail but settlement is wished. Belgium could annex the Congo to place it under Belgian authority and Leopold may welcome a final solution. Britain’s intervention is praised for pressuring a settlement and is seen as justified by the powers involved.

Abating Asylum Abuses in French Policy
The French government will no longer grant asylum to political refugees in its legations or consulates, aligning with international law and reducing extraterritorial protection for plotters. The piece argues remedy lies in removing insurrectionists from Haiti or, if humane abuses exist, international intervention rather than granting asylum. It cites Mr. Firmin’s interview as part of the opposition narrative, noting regret over Hart and similar states.
