An Atsensps TO Step GasnblIng I'm Lot


philadelphia Tlnes.l
The decision OF the law officer OF the Post
Office Department that letters addressed to
lottery companies cannot 60 through the
mails will be hailed with satisfaction as an
other obstacle thrown in the path OF these
demoraIizing and law-defying institutions.
The Assistant Attorney Generals opinion,
explicitly stated, is that the law presumes
that letter addressed to o lottery company
Is on lottery business, that this presumption
makes 1t unavailable unless 1t Is removed,
and the power 10 remove this presumption
is SO easily within the reach OF the writer
that he has no ground for complaint. A cir
cular will therefore be issued instructing
all postmasters to refuse. to mail OF register
letters so addressed. or TO mail or regis
ter letters or Gil culars IN any way to lottery
schemes. The astonishing statement is
schemes to defraud the public are In exist
rying out the law, a list OF them is TO be pub
tishcd in the official organ OF the Depart
ment. There is reason to hope for good re-
suits from this new departure, particularly
in view Of the fact that every person who
offers TO mail letter OF the description
| above given not only takes great risk as to
It's reaching its destination, but By the mere
act OF depositing 1t in post-otfice makes
himself liable to heavy penalties for wiHui
violation Of the postal law. ~
TO newspaper advertising the great in
increase In this form Of gambling is largely
due. Only yesterday one OF the two best
knows lottery companies started three new
stories of lucky drawings on their rounds
as ordinary news clippings, but really paid
for as advertisements at the highest rates.
We again warn the people not to place too
much confidence In the authenticity Of such
| stories. Or course Il prize Is drawn now
and then; if not, the business OF running
lotteries would stop; but not one man in a
thousand who invests in lottery tickets ever
gets his money back, and there is absolutely
no guarantee that he has fair chance in
The game. In any other kind OF gambling
the odds are more in favor OF the novice.
