The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-12-12

THE political contest in Louisiana in
the state election has a rrowed down to
one issue, whether the lottery will so Or
will remain to bring further disgrace to
the legislative body that continues it's
charter. The lottery company are spar
ing neither of time, money or corrupt
ing influences to secure another lease Of
life for their gigantic gambling swindle.
They propose to bring the entire state
government and the legislature as tools
for achievements in their fight against
public decency and morality. Last year
the people OF Louisiana expressed n
very determined wish to rid the state of
this infamous corporation, The COVER
nor and the legislature were also in
clined to carry out the wishes OF their
constituents. Since that time agents of
the lottery have been busily employed
securing candidates for the coming leg
islatlvs and state ticket. The fight
seems to have narrowed down to the
point where if the lottery people nomi-
nate a ticket an nti-lottery ticket will
also be nominated, and regardless of
both political lines the battle will be
fought out on this issue. 1t is a pretty
good issue to fight on for those honest
and loyal citizens of the state who are
determined that their commonwealth no
longer shall be lottery ridden.

SUPERINTENDENT WHITE, of the United
States Railway Mail service makes a
recommendation in his annual report
that should command the immediate at
t~ention and favor Of congress. It is for
the enactment OF a law providing for
the retirement of all permanent postal
clerks on one-third or one-half pay, who
have become incapacitatsd for furthe r
service by reason of age, injuries re-
ceived while in the faithful discharge of
duties, etc. OF all government employees
the railway postal clerks are the hardest
worked. poorest paid and subjected to
greatest dangers. Years of hard work and
constant study are required before they
reach the highest degree of efficiency.
The highest salary paid represents about
one-half the value of a first-class rail-
way clerk to the government. In all
the varied forms of government there is
nothing in closer touch with the people
than the postal service. The security,
speed and ease by which letters are
transferred from one remote corner of
the country to another with scarcely a
delay or miss in thousands of trips is
something wonderful. The greater part
of success in the development of this
system belongs 10 the railway mail SER
vice. A suggestion, therefore, that en-
ployes who risk their lives in this branch
should be pensioned under the con-
ditions referred to is most pertinent and
worthy Of consideration.
