OLD TIME LOTTERIES

1t may not be generally known that
an American national lottery was in
stituted by the Congress of 1776 and that
between that date and 1920 at least
seventy acts were passed by Congress
| authorizing lotteries for public purposes,
| such as schools and other improvements.
During the presidency of Washington,
Harvard College supported itself in part
by a grand lottery, with capital prizes as
high as $4,000.
Most European governments have at
some time or another employed national
lotteries as means of raising funds for
the public treasures, and municipal lot
teries have been common. Cuba has con-
Quoted national lottery since the for
nation of the republic,
France, financed the war of the
Spanish Succession by lottery which was
not suppressed until 1886. England au-
th0rized lotteries for harbor improvements
and for the financing of the Virginia Com
pany, which founded the early settlements
in America, and raised government funds
by that means until 1924 4ss'@@esessA'ss
Religious and charitable organiza-
tions were in some countries permitted to
operate lotteries, long after the govern
ments had abolished them as national in
situations. On small scale such as exist
in America today in the form of "raffles,"
which do not differ in principle from the
more pretentious lotteries of the past.
But during the last hundred years the
trend of sentiment throughout the world
has been against lotteries, particularly in
the United States, where drastic legislation
for their suppression has been enacted.
Still the gambling instinct is perhaps
as strong as ever and finds opportunities
for expression in many ways, ranging from
the outright method of the gaming table
to lawful speculation in markets and stocks,
regarding the morals of which there is
much difference of opinion, even among the
better elements of society.
In Key West the main expression of
the human gambling instinct, besides slot
machines, etc., is the game of chance
known as '"Bolita', which the early settlers
in this city, brought over from Cuba.

out most sections of the country.
Light snow has occurred during
the last "a hours in the upper Mis-

Temperatures have fallen in the

weather prevails in the Gulf

SENTENCES FOR CRIME

There is much in the theory of in
determinate prison sentences for criminals
to commend its wider adoption, at least
as an experimental measure for the protec-
ton of society. The idea is that when con-
victed of a serious crime the offender
should be restrained until he gives evidence
of genuine intention to be good.
As we understand it, under this plan
the criminal is treated somewhat as an in
sane person is treated. An insane person
is not sent to an asylum for a definite
period, but is supposed to be kept there un.
til his condition improves sufficiently to
make his release safe. If his condition can
not be so improved, he stays for life.
There is similarity between the luna
tic and the criminal in that both are sick.
One is mentally sick. the other Is morally
sick Both can often be cured by proper
treatment. The condition Of each should
be determined by experts before turning
him loose. AT least that is the theory of
the indeterminate sentence-and it seems
sensible.
