Every gambling game is a dishonest scheme. You seek to get the other
man's money without giving him anything in return.
You are not entitled to one penny unless you give value in return. If
you are in business you know that every promissory note, to be valid,
must bear on its face two words, "value received."
INDUSTRY, ENERGY, THRIFT! These are the dice that win. The lesson is
hard to learn for the young.
He has anxious days and feverish nights who risks at chance what
should be devoted to the nobler ends of life; who "makes throws" on
the green cloth; who watches the snake-like tape squirm out of the
ticker; or gazes at a bunch of horses running around a ring.
