Lotteries Dying Hard.

The national government is again ON
the still hunt for lottery promoters.
1t was believed that the death some
years ago of the mammoth Louisiana
lottery scheme would be the end Of this
form of gambling in the United States.
But the sharps must live, and they
have parted company with all honest
methods OF earning their bread. Some
Of the principals in the old Louisiana
company are said to be identified with
the concern now under the ban, hav-
ing it's headquarters in Honduras.
1t is believed that large blocks OF
Honduras lottery stock are owned in
proper Boston, sanity Brooklyn und
purified Washington. The owners are
declared to be men of position"
wealthy and socially prominent. Per-
haps they'll escape, as wealthy and
prominent offenders often do. But the
lotteries they have promoted should be
stamped out so ruthlessly that no sue
cessors will venture into this field.
