EXCITING SPORT.

That there is Il widespread feeling
against poolselling existing at present, is
well-known fact, but that this is owing
to its demoralizing infirence in large cities
and other places, WHERE il is considered as
certain kind of gambling, cannot be dis
puted. AT the present time horse racing
has become really National sport, and
as such has received the support Of Ike
American people of all classes, north,
SOUTH cast, and when we take into con-
slderation the large amount of capital in
vested by owners, breeders and the asso-
Citations i'll promoting this class of amuse-
ment, and the thousands employed by
them all over the country, it is no eau
for surprise.
In Europe, horse-racing is patronized by
the Government and it is well-known
fact that in England, Parliameet adjourns
for the Derby" which Is attended ut all
times by royal representative. In France
the Grand Prix dc Paris is ran for ON

allowed.
We are opposed to everything unlawful,
we wish all citizens to abide BIZ the law,
but We desire that the law allow us the
privilege of saying, "Fll bet you"
Let the betting be confined to the race
tracks, Let each man pay his admission
fee as required before he can bet his
money, and the clubs. associations and

lifted, but racing VIII become. as il al

ment that has already fast hold of the

wished to tan and finish 1000 sides of

with a small outlay in charging the
yard would be all right for that amount
of work, and the old boot shop, owned

Drinking ourselves Poor.

If the working people of this country
want to know why they have hard
times every few years, we can tell them
Its not over production nor under con-
sumption, as these phrases are common
ly employed. If they had kept the 900
100000 they spend every year for strong
drink in their pockets for the past five
years of good times, the present tempo
rary lull i'll manufacturing and business
activity would find many of them able
to bear it without being pinchcd for the
necessaries of life. 1t is not the over
consumption Of food and clothing in
this land of liberty and liquor. The
annual bill for bread, meal, cotton and
wooden goods of this great American
people, foots up to a total Of about
81 ,250, 100000, but its annual bill for
whiskcy beer and taxes thereon, 81 400
100000, In other words, it unnecessa-
rily drinks 14O, 900. 900 worth more than
it eats and wears. And the people who
commit this folly every year are alma
zed that once in a few years they are
hard up, and some Of them want to hoist
the communistic red flag and destroy
others property, because they have
wasted their own share of the national
substance in rye juice and other riotous
tluid.-Bostod Traveller.
