unanimously adopted as presented,
to.wit:
Whereas, we know that the Lou
isiana Lottery Company is legacy to
rs from the reign of Radicalism and
ruin, which controlled Louisiana in
the darkest years Of her history; and,
whereas, we believe that re-charter
Of any lottery by the State will be an
overwhelming evil to the State;
therefore,
Resolved, 1st-That we consider
al lotteries as morally wrong and po.
Etically curse to any State or people.
Resolved, I'd That We prize above
any price the honor of our State and
the good name and morals of our
people.
Resolved, 3rd- That We are oppos-
ID 20 any re-eharter Of the Louisiana
LOTTERY Company, and to the charter.

which, The State, or Morris
& Co.

So far as we have noticed, the adj
xocates of the Lottery seldom attempt
to discuss the moral point involved
IN. the issue. The cry is: ''Let the
people determine; 'Let the people
vote on the proposition of Morris &
Co."
Now, in all sincerity, and with
much respect for some who disagree
with rs on this question, we submit,
that the issue to be presented to the
people, if any, should be the running
lottery by the State.
Is it not patent that if Morris &
Co. can afford to give $1,000,000,
annually, for the privilege of con-
Sancting lottery there are millions
in it," If our lottery advocates are
so anxious to put money into the
State treasury by a lottery-if the
State be so impecunious-so poverty
stricken, as to be compelled to resort
TO so immoral q scheme to save her
from utter ruin, then why not make
a Lottery State institution and
pocket the millions Morris and his
followers expect to make out of it ?
Let US either follow the moral prin-
ciple, or the money principle! If the
State must have the damnation of a
lottery for another quarter of cen
fury, then, let US have all the ducats.
Why be so liberal to Morris & Co., if
money be our motto-money our
God? If the State becomes sponsor
for Morris & Go. she may get mil
lion annually, but she will incur no
greater condemnation from the world
at large by making this great money
getting scheme q State institution
controlled in all respects by officers
appointed, or elected, under special
State laws. This will not be private
monopoly, for all the people will have
. pecuniary interest in it. It will be
a grand, joint, cooperative, money
making measure, to relieve the bur
dens of taxation, to educate the ig.
norant, to support the insane and
idiotic-to confne the foods and
mark the point at which their proud
waves shall be stayed.
Surely, the General Assembly should
submit to the people, a proposition
Gf any which viii, if adopted, give
them the advantage not only of the
millions Morris & Co. offer, but also
Of those multo-millions Morris & Co
expect to make out of the scheme.
The Banner is opposed to all lot
tsriesy but it does not hesitate to say
If we are to have one-if we are tc
put our State under the ban of all the
States and almost the civilized world
by re-chartering lottery-if money
be the chief good, and money We
must have, then let US strike the
bonanza for all it is worth, and moi
sell our State too cheaply.
If our lottery friends are in earn.
est in their principles and policy, lei
them present the issue squarely and
fairly to the people, State Lottery
for the State and by the State, and
not State Lottery for the benefit OF
Morris g. Co. If we must ignore
morals, and sentiment, and State
pride, in the presence of misfortunes
and upon the demands of stern neces-
sites, it is the more direct and manly
course to charter State Lottery and
take the odium of the measure sweet
ened with the largest possible money
values. Whatever of honor be left
to the State will then be in her own
keeping and not matter of sale to,
or contract with, Morris & Co.
