LOTTERY GRANT rs NOT GOOD.
United States Supreme Court Decides
q Case from kentucky.

Washington November 29.-Justice Har-
Ian handed down the opinion of the United
States supreme court today in the case
of j. J. Douglas, plaintiff in error, VS.. the
commonwealth of Kentucky, holding the
franchise of the Frankfort lottery to be
invalid.
The case was brought to this court by
Douglas on allegations of error in the
decision of the Kentucky court of appeals,
which was adverse to him.
In rendering his opinion Justice Harlan
quoted the provision OF the Kentucky con-
stitution Of 1891 reyoking all lottery char
tiers heretofore. granted and fOrbiddinS
the existence of lotteries in the state. He
considered at some length the contention
OF Douglas that the revocation of ms char-
ter worked the revocation OF contract
IN violation of the constitution of the
United Sta ties prohibiting any state from

federal constitution be correct II wall TO-

or statutes of kentucky forbiddlnS lolter-
les and gift enterprises IN mat common

or charters thereto granted, are nun ana

results from the declaration that me con

He continued by quoting former opinion
Of the court to the effect that The common
forms OF gambling were comparatively IN
nocuous when placed in contrast with the

law of the land from protecting It's people

tablish such reguia tens as are reasonably
necessary from time to time to protect
the pubic morals against the acknoWt-
edged evils of lOtterieS"
in conc .usiOn, it was held:
"A lottery grant is not in any sense

stitution, but is simply a gratulty ana IL
