"A have no opinion to the innocence guilt of the
defendant and, if we did have it would be highly
improper if not in contempt of court to express their
opinion at this time We want to make it perfectly clear
that nothing of that sort is being done here either d

We do want to point out that regardless of the out
come Of this particular trial. in similar trials of the
past the handling of policy and other forms of gambling
is by solved. Newspaper stories tell us that
the numbers actually being advertised through the
publicity given the Hines trial, and that the
heat is off, there will be policy gambling than
It has been one trouble with US over here that we
handle vices by repression instead of regulation
The beneficial results of the latter system
dramatically illustrated than by

Good Ernn,nZo Sweepstake. Since this lottery
was first established in $780, ap-
proxmatey 275O000 900 has been taken n and of this

In this particular State betting the horses has been
going on openly for many years. It is all illegal and the

answer is Well continue to be hypocrites
One argument for this official hypocrisy is that gam

don't gamble much they might want to.
Legalized gambling, and there is doubt of this,
would offset the dangers of gang rule illustrated by Dutch
