STATE LOTTERIES
' ' ' Sir,—The following quotation speaks for itself) is taken f rom §£ - Catholic Herald, as'quoted in "p 7* ling and Youth," by E. Bon«, a pl kins:—"The unhappy fact is now c)J i: beyond all contradiction that the Free State, from end to end, -in to|jp|l and village, and in country places swagger streets and in the pooroM slums, has 'become a sordid gambling den. The hospital sweeps, have K iv,St an enormous impetus to this business. In every village, lotteries are ! organised for all sorts of purposes- I political, social and religious. It plague, and will do yet more mischief'' Whatever the financial ments arising from overseas sweewvl stakes, I trust that our Government 1 will exercise a stiff moral backbone, and reckon the national character of more importance than national finance, and refuse to legalise tho demoralising I i business of gambling.
