A BLOW AT hUIBLLSU
The bill now pending In congress pro
hibiting the passing through the mails of
newspapers with lottery atUcrtlscmcntr
cannot suppress those lustltutlons In
Louisiana and Kentucky but It can limit
their power for evil Power people will
Invest In lottery tickets when they are no
longer tempted by attractive displays in
newspaper columns of advortlsomcuts of
fering thousauds of dollars for 5
No moro vicious form of gambling is
known It Is dangerous because of Its
quasi respectability Thousands of men
Invest their earnings lu lotteilcs who
would not go Into a regular gambling
house and bet on a game of chance
Poor men arc tho victims They read
how somo ouc has drawn 510000 or 625
000 and their chances aro as good So n
part of thu monthly earnings goes to en
rich tho Loulsiaua Lottery compauy and
they got nothing oxccptln rate Instances
If men would reflect for a moment
they would see how remote is tho chance
of winning fortunes In lotteries A little
calculation may Instruct and Interest
them
The Loulsiaua lottery advertises 100000
tickets at 5 each bringing 500000 Tho
prircs number 10H5 aggregating 205000
Tho profit to tho managers Is 3235000
