THE prospects for a great racing sea
son in the state this year are brighter
than ever. According to announce
ments, there will be Sl25,O0O in purses
and stakes in the circuit of nine towns.
The dates have been fixed, to include
racing with but few Interruptions, from
June q to Sept. 3. Anaconda will be
in the list again this year with, purses
amounting to more than $4,000, while
Dillon is a new arrival in the circuit.
Helena will have seven days Of racing,
from Aug. Is to 20, and will offer more
than $4,000 in prizes. The racing in
this state last year was better than ever
before, and with but few exceptions
there we're no criticisms Of bad work.
No circuit in the country of more than
twice the populations of the towns in

Lottery

To have their motives misunderstood,
be, is a liability that falls with peculiar
severity and indefinite frequency On the
shoulders of our public mon, of IL
politicians and statesmen. Luckily for
most of the sufferers, human nature
comes to their aid with her kindly law
of compensation. Called by the fric-
ton of intermittent irritation, the men
tai epidemis finally becomes most COM
fortably c%allous. The attacks upon the
peace Of mind of the servant of the
people pass by him "as the idle wind
that he respects not" A more wretched
state of mind than that of the unfor.
tunate who cannot attain to the prac-
tice Of this pachydermatous philosophy,
1T is hard TO conceive. For him there is
only one hope left. The perusal OF each
and every criticism Of his public and
private action he must avoid, MS he
would the plague. If he attempts tc
discriminate, the fat is in the fire. Let
him fail in this self imposed abnegation,
and he must simply submit to having
the salt OF criticism and the pepper OF
violent attack rubbed into the throb
bing wound of his self esteem.
This is precisely the raw and excoria
ted appearance which John A. Morris
OF tho Louisiana lottery, presents at the
time OF writing. With a few unprinci
pied exceptions the public press Of this
country has been scoring and rawhidinl
him and his gang for a good many
months now past. But IL recent articl
in the Forum has evidently sent the
tide OF his grievances Drumming over th,
banks OF his self-restraint. In the con
trlbutlon referred to, the lottery com
pany and its principals we're accused o
debasing the people of the Unite,
States. There was no depth q
iniquity, it was charged, to While.
they would not stoop, anc
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1892-02-06

their illgotten gains wore used broad
cast to defeat tho Intentions OF tho hon
est voters Of Louisiana. The profits OF
Ubiquitous concern we're simply enor-
nous, and tho indirection OF it's methods
for gaining popularity flaming. 1t was
admitted that the lottery's contributions
to the funds for the distressed in the
times OF flood from the Mississippi were
handsome and prompt, but tho writer
darkly limited that it was vol within
the limits Of possibility that u rigid IN
vestigation might discover that the
levees had been %purposely destroyed,
and that the lottery bosses could have
prophesied the day and hour Of their de.
struction.
Wherefore, John A. Morris rises to
explain. The whole intention and pur-
pose of the lottery managers in asking
for a renewal Of their license has been
misunderstood. The concern never had
for it's prime object tho coming of money
from deluded fools. 1t was a philan-
thropic concern from the very outset.
Its directors had purposed to rest con.
tent with their past achievements in the
cause of humanity, until prominent mon
in Louisiana came forward and begged
and prayed of them not to cease their
charitable guardianship over the pecu-
mary business of the state. Opposition,
they we're assured, would be a mere
featherweight in the ring. When con-
gress passed the anti-lottsry postal law,
Mr.. Morris wants it to be distinctly un-
derstood that he had the best of legal
opinion that the enactment was a viola
ton of states rights and that the SUI
preme court would inevitably pronounce
the measure unconstitutional. Now
that the boot is on the other leg, the di-
rectors lay their respective hands upon
their respective hearts and assure the
public that they would not accept Q re-
newal upon any terms whatsoever.
Whether that agreeable assurance is the
result of diminished returns or of a
hitherto unsupported regard for legality
and morality, the public cares little.
Their one hope is that the directors
decision is final and does not conceal a
sneak. = ..r-.
