State Lotteries Now"
Banned By Nearly
All Governments
One method ' of raising money to
carry on wars, the lottery, is now
practically extinct. . While some of
the German states and Latin-American
countries still authorize lotteries,
nearly all modern governments now
frown upon that way of adding money
to the public treasury. Italy, where
lotteries are said to have originated,
was one of the last to abondon them,
but a few years ago the Rome govern
ment followed the example of Great
Britain, France and the United States
in banishing state authorized lot
teries, Spain, Holland, Austria, Prussia
and some other German statesV are
the last European strongholds of the
government lottery. The . business
adds vast sums to the public treas
uries, besides yielding enormous
profits to the promoters. During the
last year o the Italian State Lottery
the ' government cleared $8,680,000
from that source,
" The first- lottery drawing in , Eng
land was held 346 years ago today,
May 6, 1569, during the reign and
under the patronage of ' the Good
Queen Bess. It apparently had also
the sanction of religion, for the draw
ing was held at the western door of
St. Paul's cathedral. The original
English lottery contained 40,000 lots,
at ten shillings each, and the prizes
were pieces of plate. The proceeds
were devoted "toward the reparation
of the havens and strength of the
Realme, and toward other good
works."
In 1612 & lottery was granted by

first lottery for sums of money was
held in England. The lottery early
became . popular in ' th,e American
colonies, and continued to flourish
under the republic. It was not until
comparatively recent' years that the

that of Louisiana, was wiped out of

religion, and were
ligious purposes. The piety of th
Puritans, so strict that it; was consid
ered a crime for a husband to kiss his
wife on Sunday, countenanced . lot
teries. Catholic - opinion, regarding
lotteries was divergent. They " were
prohibited by Pope Benedict' XIII., in
1724, but sanctioned by his successor,'
Pope Clement XII.
Lotteries were - suppressed in
France by-the 'first republic, but re
stored under the empire and the mon
archy, and were not finally suppress
ed until 1836. A national lottery was
held in 1878, however, . to pay for
prises to exhibitors at the Paris' ex
position of that year,
.Lotteries were often held . in for
mer times to pay the expenses of
war. In the year 1805, following the
enthusiasm jiroused by Trafalgar, the
British government : held a lottery
which brought a . net yield of a ' mil
