DRAWINGS At FAIRS.

Of course, few people believe that
there is any real crime in buying tick
cts in a drawing. One indignant man
has asked through the public press
why there should be this talg about
drawings at fairs and not much about
dealing in stocks. The only answer
that need be made Is that drawings are
prohibited by law, and dealing in stocks,
even on margins, is not. That may not
settle any question In the ethics of gam
bling, but it does settle the only ques-
tion that has been raised in this cru
SADIE. AS a matter Of fact, everybody
takes chances in some way in a great
many of the affairs of life, and is none
the worse for it. The demoralizing
thing in these fair lotteries is that every
gambler in the state knows that il he
draws a lottery he is likely to be fined
or imprisoned or both, while people of
different standing may do it with i'm
punity. There are serious differences
between the two cases. That may be
granted at once, but the same law ap-
plies to both, and that is what the gam
bier sees. Thereupon he infers that the
laws are a fraud and that justice does
have regard to the individual In short,
that justice Is no better than he is, and
rests on no better foundation than his
own morals. lit is not wholly beside the
case to remind all concerned that In old
er times lotteries have been drawn by
high authority for most pious objects.
In the recent cases here the objects
have been worthy Of all praise, but the
I high authority has been lacking. Per-
haps 1t would be we'll for the next leg
islature to pass q lottery law of the kind
that will hit, if 1t Is a bear, and miss If
it is calf. If the case against all lot
teries is so clear that this cannot be
done, then the present law ought to be
enforced to the letter. But If 1t shall
appear that lottery Is not inherently
wicked, but only harmful under certain
conditions, them a real effort should be
made to define these conditions. And
If any of these things are to be attempt
ed we ought to have a legislature that
is clear-headed above the average and
possessed of courage enough to follow
it's convictions wherever they lead. A
legislature of that kind would be singu-
larly useful in other ways, too.-Hart-
ford Letter to the Springfield Republic

seventh congress. This was referred to
the senate committee on relations with
Cuba, of which you are the chairman.
7 came to Washington at the begin

sion, endeavoring to get your committee
to act.
On February 6, 1908, your committee
called me before it, and, at your solic-
itation, made a presenting, in writ
ing, setting forth many facts in the
matter.
No action has ever been taken by your
committee, so far as know, except to
furnish General Wood copies of the pa
pers and documents filed by ME, and to
receive his reply to the charges contain
ed therein.
About the 18th inst ant filed with you

request for early action.

investigation by a proper tribunal of
my own countrynen.

Mr.. Chamberlain, who left the govern
ment in order that he might be free.
Cheers and misses followed this mem
ton OF Mr.. Chamberlain 80.
The duke urged that the policy Of the
government must be more clearly de-
fined. AL present it was indefinite. The
speaker also said that If he made any
personal explanations regarding his
resignation it would be from his place
in parliament.
The duke said he was opposed to the
taxation of food because he thought
that such taxation was the keystone Of
the entire policy to which he took ex-
ception. Should the price of food be
raised some compensation must be
given to the workingmen. In his bud
get calculation Mr.. Chamberlain appar-
emily had not considered the increased
cost Of living for the working man.
The Duke Of Devonshire said he was
prepared to prove that Mr.. Chamber
lain's Glasgow budget would entail a.
tremendous loss to the consumer, while
the Workingman's expenses would be
increased 10 per cent. He believed that
no greater fallacy had ever been pro-
duced than that the prohibition or re-
striction of imports from abroad would
Increase the profitable employment of
capital and labor at home The coun-
try was prospecting everywhere yet Mr..
Chamberlain asserted that only stagna-
ton existed.
The meeting adopted resolution
strenuously opposing any fiscal policy
involving the protective taxation of
food and the establishment of a general
preferential or protective system.

Great Free Food League Meeting Held
In London. Ss&ss~< .7 i.
London, Nov. 24.-The Duke of
Devonshire presided and was the prin-
cipal speaker at a great demonstration
In Queens hall here tonight, under the
auspices Of the Free Food League. 1t
was the dukes first public speech since
his resignation as lord president of the
council and the first really important
meeting Of the Free Fooders as an Off
set to the active propaganda Of the
Tariff Reform league. The hall was
packed and the prominent personages
were given tremendous reception.
The Duke Of Devonshire was given a
great welcome. He said there might
be differences of opinion concerning the
extent to which retaliation might le-
ultimately so. Some members of the
league were not altogether opposed to
some form Of protection; but, they
were all united and prepared to resist
to the utmost the imposition of any
protective taxation on food, or protect
i've duties generally. He, himself,
claimed the right to oppose anything
In the nature of return to protection.
Prolonged cheering followed this state
ment
The duke said the meeting was one
of unionists desiring to urge ON the
government the danger of taking a GER
-,
sisting certain course. 1t was not the
policy Of the unionist government
which was before the country. The
public liked a clear issue and such an

special meeting of the cabinet will be held
