| The lottery idea SENS to have come
into existence during the sixteenth
century. BY 1909 1t had reached such
a popularity that II was included in
the governmental budget as means
| of revenue raising, Every parliamen-
tary budget from that time to 1924
contained the lottery. This was justi-
fed on the ground that there is always
certain amount of vicious inclina-
ton and gambling spirit in the COM
munity. and since this has to have an
outlet somewhere 1t should be turned
to good account. and ought to be
made to bear it's share Of the public
burden. This reasoning was well and
good. but IL failed to consider tho fact
that lotteries multiply the gambling
spirit hundredfold. It was this con-
sideration that led to their abolition
In England and America.
Lotteries have been abolished from
nearly every English-speaking coun-
try on the globe, but they still have
a firm hold in Spanish speaking coun-
tries. Nearly every one OF the re-
fights and lotteries. They seem to 60
hand in hand. and where one is abol
ished the other goes with 1t. Many
OF the countries of Southern Europe
still maintain their lotteries, and they
are so intricately woven into the warp
and wool OF the finances OF those
countries that TO abolish them would
be like abolishing a customs tariff in
this country.
In England at one time there were
lotteries which offered grand prizes
amounting to 100000. At a parlia-
mentary investigation, after one great
drawing. IL was disclosed that there
were nifty suicides In single night in
London which were traccable directly
to the lottery. Societies for the sup
preston of lotteries sprang up In
America early in the second quarter
OF the nineteenth century. They had
plenty of work to do. for in the year
1882 there were several hundred lot
teries operating in nine of the United
States. with total drawings amounting
to $50, 100000 a year. The Louisiana
lottery was the last one on United
States soil, and was finally banished
1t moved to Honduras, where 1t has
had rather turbulent existence.
Few people realize how narrowly
this country escaped perpetuation
OF lotteries. After being denied the
use of the malls. the agents used the
express service. Then Congress en-
acted a law under the interstate COM
merce clause OF the Constitution for
bidding the transportation of tickets
in interstate commerce. The consti-
tutionaiity of the law was attacked,
and the Supreme Court decided by u
vote of five to four that a lottery
ticket is an article of commerce and

 The state must never enact any law restricting or abridging the right of suffage on account of race, color or previous condition of seryitude Ability to read, write. speak and un. derstand the English language must be a necessary qualification for all state officers and members of the Legislature.
 There must be no election for 8 change in the state capital until De cember 31. 1925, and until then the capital must remain in Phoenix.
 There must be reserved to the United States all the rights under the reclamation act that the federal gov ernment holds now.
 Any Indian reservations opened fol admission at the session of next win ter. The facts are precisely to the contrary.

 The letter further states that a reason for the resignation is that Mir Staunton's family is now in the east where the children are attending school and for that reason he will necessarily be out of Arizona for a time.
 No one. it Is announced, has been selected to take his place in the man 'agsment of the affairs of the mines

Charles Purdon, county examiner, came down from Tombstone last ev- ening and it today busy on examin- ations in this city. This is probably his last tour of examination as county examiner for he expresses his intention of stepping out, of turning in his resignation when the board of supervisors shall meet in Tombstone on Wednesday of next week.
 Purdon was seen by an Internation- al reporter on his arrival and asked as to what was doing or planned to be done in Tombstone He then stated that it was his purpose to complete his duties and to tender his resignation at the July meeting of the board He stated that he would then present his report. What 1 that report would contain Purdon does not state and he declared he would not prophecy nor attempt to prognosticate what if any action would be taken upon his report.
 Purdon states that he will shortly accept another position which will i be ready for him in a short time and which is more lucrative and gen srally more pleasant that that Of county auditor. which he is about to relinquish.

DOUGLAS, June 29.-(Speeisl) )-
 The first and oldest club in Doug las, the pioneer of them all, is soon to exist only in history The Chiri cahua club, almost from the settle ment of Douglas feature of it's life. seems to have fulfilled its ends and is about to pass into reminiscenee. It is not now needed as it once was. early members, one by one, left for homes of their own. and other places came up which drew from the mem i bership, which made the old club less of a necessity than formerly. The Chiricahua club. as this living club, similar to many of the college clubs, was called seems to have fui- filled it's purposes. It was started by bachelors of the young Douglas who wanted a comfortable homelike place to room and wanted a table such as they could not obtain else where than at such a club or in ones own home. They got what they wanted
 The club, at the outset, was con ducted by Charles l.. Scales and Jim Gibbs, but later Gibbs dropped out and Scales-Charley all know him as-has even since conducted this in. stitution and has done it in a way that has made the club truly home to the members who have come and gone.

 From the fact that the Southern Pacific is not known to have had any engineers in the field recently, 1t is surmised that the location was out lined hastily from data in the engi- neering offices. and was sent in tC the general land offices with the in- tention of baking the Fl Paso and Southwestern by getting control of both sides of the river
