Why Indeed
Why should the newspapers
give publicity to the Government
land drawings? The Postoffice
Department is prompt to punish
a publisher for printing adver
tisements of any other class of
lotteries, and it even goes so far
as to make it unlawful for a news
paper to publish the names of
winners in any game of chance.
This is all right and proper, for
the lottery is one of the most
harmful forms of gambling
known, The Government does
right to suppress the evil, but it
has no moral right to turn around
and conduct the biggest lottery
of all in disposing of the public
land. If it is wrong for a private
individual to conduct a lottery, it
is a much greater wrong for the
Government to engage in the
same business. Observer. ,
