FIGHT THE LOTTERIES.

Public opinion is ready for the active
prosecution of the anti-lottery crusade.
There is no need for further argument
upon the subject. In the lotteries are con-
densed dozen evils in one. All lotteries
are immoral and illegal. Many of them
are fakes and downright swindles. One
half the tickets sold in the City are rank
forgeries. The published lists of awarded
prizes are frauds. There is wrong and ras-
cality in the game on every side. The
judgment of all right thinking people con-
dennis it. The laws of the State and Nation
make it a crime. To strive diligently for
the suppression of lotteries is therefore at
once the duty of the official and the honor
of the citizen.
In the performance of this difficult work,
the Civic Federation, and those allied with
it, can render valuable service to the police
in detecting violators of the law and form
ing popular sentiment favorable to a
strict prosecution, a speedy conviction and
severe punishment OF every guilty per-
son. If good citizens to whom the ticket
peddlers offer their wares would report a
few of them to the police some of the worst
and boldest features of the evil would be
checked at once. Such a course would put
an end to the practice of making house
to house canvass in the interest of lotteries
and would save for the homes OF the peo-
pie many dollar that now goes to swim
dlers.
OF course no one desires to see the heavy
hand of the law fall upon the poor ticket
peddler while the big sharpers go free.
The big operators, however, are so hidden,
~ III +ln4 L.. i -
impossible to reach them unless some of
the small agents who sell the tickets can
be induced to give evidence against those
who employ them. This is more likely to
be accom- lished when the business of the
peddlers has been made hazardous and
improbable and they see themselves SUI
fering the penalties of the law while the
richer and more guilty parties are appar-
emily out of the reach of justice.
One OF the first things to be accomplished
in the way of suppressing the evil is to put
an end to the newspaper publication of
lottery notices. The Grand Jury in its
report, District Attorney Barnes and Chief
Crowley in interviews with the CALL, have
all stated as result of their Investigations
that if the newspapers of the City would
refuse to publish these notices the evil
would be much restricted and it would be
much easier to enforce the law. All men
of standing, influence and good character
should unite with US, therefore, in urging
our contemporaries to abandon a practice
which is so pernicious in its effect and leads
so directly to a violation of law. Sooner
or later such publications will surely be
stopped, for if the present laws do not
suffice new laws will be made, but we have
a right to expect that the press of California
will not wait to feel the keen edge of a
prosecution for crime before they cut loose
from lotteries and cease to advertise a
nefarious and illegal trade.
