With the lottery claquers a favor
ties argument, Cor rather plea, for
they have no arguments to advance)
is that many colleges, churches and
charitable institutions have been
maintained and rendered successful
by means of lotteries. Granted,
but then the money was all applied
to these objects, after paying the
necessary and legitimate expenses
of conducting the drawing and not
to the support in sloth, Incidence,
debauchery and crime OF q lot OF
gamblers and .swindlers, as is the
case with the Louisiana lottery. La
the one case it was used for public
good, in the other it is for private
gain at the expense OF the corrup-
ted and plundered public. We
hold all lotteries to be wrong, and
Morris lottery in particular, to be
an infamy. From the best infor-
nation obtainable the Louisiana
State Lottery's earnings is from
1913, 100000 to $3O,0OO,0OO a year,
and of this they propose to give
the State 81, $50, 900 LESS than one
twentieth.
just think of it, will you, citizens
of Louisiana! These chuck-a.
| luck thieves, who rob their victims
of 70 per cent of all the money
passes through their hands, pro-
pose to gire the State 5 per cent OF
their stealings. for the privilege O
conducting their heightened, mora
game under the sanction of law!

Neighbor Goodwin in his little tilt
with Bro. Fortson. in reference to ALLIANCES
sentiment in general and the Cincinnati
Conference in particular, proves satIsfac-
torily to himself that Louisiana had no
legal representation in said Conference.
Now we should have had nothing to say
in this connection had we not attended
said Conference as delegate-if not q
legal one, then false one. To defend
our position then, we would cite Bro.
Goodwin to both calls issued for that
conference, in which every county alliance
was requested to send delegates. Acting
upon these calls Calcasieu parish union
delegated /. j. Mills, paid his expenses
and he was there. Similarly Winn parish
was represented in that conference by
this writer, but VIM, in this action, had
the advice, consent and help OF the farm
ers' unions of Vernon, Catahoula and
Grant parishes, the sentiment in all these
parishes being just deal stronger than
editors OF partisan papers imagine, and
fully strong enough to carry all future
elections. And being member OF the
committee on credentials in that confer
ence. we noticed that no State Union
had delegates there from their respective
State organizations; 30 Bro. G. will have
to ''give it mp" that the sentiment is
stronger than he thought and that Louis

OF apportioners failing to do their duty. With

twice q year, and then gone over in less time
than one day, and, in some instances, We hear Of
road districts that have not been worked this
year. We also find that the Overseers, with few
exceptions, are negbectina the important duty
Of putting up mile posts and sign boards. and

quest the apportioners OF their respective ward.
