of opinion among the founders of this govern
ment in favor of the establishments of lotteries
to meet every conceivable sort of public need,
and even, under State supervision, for private
purposes.
Washington was q aliberal.minded and liber-
tyloving patriot. As a Statesman, he was at

moral obiiquitY nor Intellectual strabismus.
He WAS accustomed to leok squarely at all

Can 1t be said that George Washington was

And yet we fnd him in the very infancy of

Franklin, Carroll, Hancock, Lee and scores Of
Ezother eminent revolutionary fathers, setting

Did he perceive danger in them to the I'M
diyidual or to the State2
2On the contrary, he was accustomed to have
recourse to lotteries whenever public or
private necessity demanded it. He adyoca-
ted and supported them in aid of the infant
federal government, in aid of public enter-
prises in the State Of Virginia, and finally, In
his old age, less than six months before his
death, he presented an appeal TO the legisla-
tare Of Virginia for authority TO establish a
lottery in his own behalf, in order, as he pa

Madison, that he might be. enabled To pay his
debts, and have left to lim Monticello and

And the people of Virginia, as brave and
vfrtuous a people as ever made a State, saw
nothing immoral or dangerous in the expedi-
