Am Enterprising Newspaper.

All pEAStu&
For the third time in its history,
THE JERSEY CITY NEWS comes to
the public today in eight page form.
This expansion is due in part to the
great pressure of advertisements.
which would absorb too large a pro-
portion of our usual thirty-two
columns of space. But it is due in
even greater decree to the general
policy of THE News in presenting
all the doings Of the day in the fullest
detail, regardless of cost. The great
number of entertainments which
marked the celebration of the holiday,
the active and stirring sessions of the
Legislature at Trenton. the patriotic
address of Congressman McAdoo, and
the thousand and one other happen
ings of two lively days demand extra
space for their presentation to the
public, and we respond to the de-
mands of the occasion by nearly
doubling the size of the paper.
In THE JERSEY CITY NEWS today.
there is good reading for everyone.
Politics and fashions, the church and
social amusement; business and sport
are all represented, and that man or
must be hard to please who
cannot find entertainment and in
struction in one or other department.
The new departure of today is.not
for this day only. All through the
spring. and summer season, when
business is lively, THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS will print eight pages as often
as news or advertisements demand
additional space.

The Race Track Bills.

We do not regard the passage of the
race track bills as a wholly unmixed
evil, by any means. Anything must
be better than the state of ~lawlessness
which has prevailed and we believe a
distinctly healthier tone will at once
begin to prevail when the ban of out
lawry is taken off a sport which pub
lie feeling, divided as it is, cannot avail
to suppress.
We do not like these bills altogether.
They donot constitute anything like
SO good a Race Track law as the New
York Ives Statute. Tt is needless to
say, we have no liberation, not to say
approval, for the methods by which,
in part at least, they were passed.
The situation is a painful one, make
the best of it; and yet, we repeat, we
believe it is better this thing should
have taken place than that we should
have gone on for another year with
out any settlement of the question
whatever.
We cannot help thinking a much
better result could have been secured
by a decent compromise between the
extreme a~nti-racing element and those
who think there is nothing wrong in
the sport. The Objectionable settle-
ment, which the people must now be
content with, is.a product of intern
perate extremism opposing a deep
rooted inclination of human beings,
n which has prevailed in every age
and every race, and which seems to be
ineradicable. If the Law and Order
League had joined with the moderate
element of the State in insisting on
a better law, more nearly modelled on
the Ives law, there can be. no doubt
but it would have been enacted,
and the extremists on the other
side would have found it impossible
to carry things with SO high a hand as
they have done. AS it is, set of
extremists has won a victory over the
other, because human inclinations,
the instinct of. pleasure, is stronger
than artificial principles and codes,
and the race track men have some de-
greco of sympathy from probably
seven out of every ten men in the
United States.
:,he good effect of the passage of
the law will be that horse racing will
now disappear from politics. There
will be no more IA track in the
election of legislators, in the choice of
law officers o. in the makeup of
juries. The race tracks will keep to
themselves and mindtheir own affairs,
and disturbing and c~orrupting in
fuenee will be eliminated from public
affairs.
