DECISION AGAINST
LOTTERY TICKETS
Are Made Subjects of Traffic
and Illegal.

The Supreme Court of the United
States in a decision announced by Mr..
Justice Harlan yesterday in the case OF
Champion appellant, against the United
states held that lottery tickets are
subjects of traffic and II is Illegal for any
corporation or individual TO transport
them from one State to another. Cham
pion. who repre- scented the Pan American
lottery OF Paraguay. was arrested in
Chicago about three years ago for vio-
lation of the act Of 1895, which prohibits
the transmission Of lottery tickets from
one State 10 another.
In the case of the Government against
Francis. which was instituted under the
act Of 1899 which prohibits the carry
/ ing OF lottery tickets from one State TO
another by any express company or
otherwise. the opinion OF the court was
I delivered by Mr. Justice Holmes. Francis
was convicted in the State courts. The
+ judgment OF the lower court was re
versed and the case remanded for new
trial
! The decision establishes several prop
/ ositions OF Importance The first is that
any article is the subject of commerce
/ which can be bought or sold, even If II
/ be only a piece OF paper having con-
tractuaI character and no intrinsic
value
Il will most likely follow that all
/ certificates OF stock. bonds. promissory
notes. bills Of lading. assignable con-
I tracts. and all c5her commercial instru-
ments which may be bought and sold are
articles of commerce and subject TO
I Federal regulation
The Supreme Court further decided
that it is in the power Of the Legislative
branch of the Government TO declare
that a given article Of commerce is pre-
judicial to the public health or morals
and that such conclusion cannot be re-
viewed by the courts.
The least important but not unimport-
ant aspect is that the decision marks
the termination OF a prolonged legal con-
I test over the power of the Federal Gov
ernment to prohibit. in the interests OF
public morals. the transmission OF lot
terry matter.
It is held that II Congress has the
nover 10 prohibit such interstate traffic
as either in its nature or in its methods
il deems prejudicial TO the public
morals. then il has also the right t'
hermit this traffic to exist. provided
those who conduct it subject themselves

assumed wisdom. prescribe
