mutual betting at the race tracks. I have never yet
|
|
2
|
received a satisfactory answer to my contention that
|
|
3
|
it is inconsistent for anyone to scy that it is not

proper to have a lottery end at the same time say that

At the race tracks the state is even a

|
about the morality of the lottery. They are misinformed
