misconstrued, To leave memoirs They
apparently believe that II the evil men do

LoTTER1EsANDT THE PosToFFIcE.


In the November issue of the United States
Postal Guide appears an exceedingly inter
estiDg and important opinion bearing the
signature of John L. Thomas, Assistant At
torney General, in regard to lotteries, in
the form of reply TO an inquiry from
the Postmaster General in regard to prizes
offered by a company operating lead and
zinc mines, offering prizes for the solution
Of rebus, and deciding that such offers
are fraudulent and therefore unavailable.
The Assistant Attorney General says
that heretofore he has held In a few
cases that the award of q prize to the
first person sending a correct answer to a
rebus, puzzle, or other such invention,
would not constitute a lottery scheme
when the postmark of mailing was taken
to determine which was first, and If more
than one envelope containing correct
answers bore the same postmark as to
time, the prizes were divided equally among
those thus giving a correct answer
The Assistant Attorney General is now
convinced that he has erred even in con-
filming such questionable schemes within
these narrow limits, and declares that any
Invention for advertising purposes or for
the purpose Of disposing of stock or other
consideration is lottery if, first, 1t in
volve a consideration for a chance to draw
prize; second, lot or chance; third, q
prize.
This principle, says Mr.. Thomas, is
clearly established by the Supreme Court
Of the United States In opinions upon
many cases. he then adds that when
ones reason or foresight might enable
him to reach correct conclusion In scheme
Of chance, and be first in the race for the
prize, the anti-lottery law might not inter
fere; but In all such cases as the one
under consideration the uncertainty as to
mailing must be an insurmountableo obs, acle
to fair dealing.
He gives as an instance prize offered
in an advertisement in Washington paper
which Is delivered to its city subscribers
in an hour or two after its issue, but does
not reach a California subscriber for five
or six days, and between these extremes
no two places are alike In their postal

MOORE AS AN ECONOMIST.

Chief Moore, is his report Just issued.
says that crime has increased with hard
tms, and therefore the police force is
ovei'workerl and an increased force needed.
C:lief Moore, in this view, reaches the
kernel or the econ opiical nut. 1t is
theory of all advanced social philosophers
that poverty is the parent of crime. In
tense antiliquor enthusiasts insist that
it is iDtenpcrance which crowds the po-
lice and criminal courts. But, answers the
social philosopher, the misery that results
from poverty, the anxiety, the mental
and physical prostration that results from
the fear of poverty and the struggle against
poverty, lead to iDteDperance in eating,
drinking and in many other things, and SO
to the commission of unhealthful acts, such
as excessive drinking, and to offenses
placed in the category of crime.
The excellent and able chief, therefore,
adds the vauable evidence OF his experience
and Judgment to that of the most advanced
school of modern social economists, who
would strike at crime by striking at poy-
erty, and, of course, at the causes OF
poverty, which are the laws protect
ing mankind in the concentration of
wealth and monopoly OF control OF the
means of production, distribution and COM
Diunication.
