Mackenzie,The Ethics of Gambling, p. 64.[2]The gambling habits of the rich who do not know how to “fill in their time” also arise fromennui, but in this paper I do not discuss the problem which they present. It is: How can we compel them to find occupations of social value?[3]Cf.Nineteenth Century, January 1903, art. “Is Society worse than it was?”[4]Recent London balls in aid of hospital funds, for instance, where the sufferings of the poor were sought to be alleviated by orgies of the rich.[5]Early History of Charles James Fox, pp. 100-1.[6]Cf.

It has been estimated that, to provide adequate counter-attractions to public-houses would require annually £1000 for every 10,000 of the population, a sum which cannot be raised by private subscription. A scheme of Constructive Temperance Reform has been before the country for some time, under which the public-house trade would be taken out of private hands, and the profits given to the National Exchequer to be used for certain specified purposes. The first charge throughout the country would, however, be the provision of adequate counter-attractions to the public-house. In so far as the profits of the public-house trade are probably not less than £20,000,000 per annum, and since, upon the estimate given above, £4,000,000 would furnish the sum required for counter-attractions, it will be seen that under this scheme there would be no difficulty as to funds.[14]1900.[15]See conviction for Betting Coupon Competitions (E.
