The Qualifications of Judges at Race
Meetings.

Judges of trotting races are not like
poets and musicians. 1t is as true as
gospel that judges are made not born.
1t takes years of actual experience IT,
make Judge thoroughly competent
and then he can learn with every new
service.
He must ignore all favorites amongst
horses and while in the stand be dead

ers and jockeys. A conservative Judge
will have no friends In race whose
faults he will condone and no enemies
whom he will punish. And here is
where drivers frequently make mis-
take. They think that for friendships
-ake little the best of the start will be
permitted or they may indulge In a
little more running than the law al
lows. A judge should never barbor
fo:egone conclusion as to which horse
should win, or anticipate by "A breath.

Ills work begins the instant a race
starts and from that second until the

should make no threats, but carry into
active execution his ideas, and when

NEW SCHOOL Law.

Editor of the Mon1tor,-A great deal
is being said and written about the
new school law, pro and con. We
would like to say a word also; not IN
any spirit of controversy, but for the
purpose of aiding to give the town
system of schools fair trial. First we
assume that the town system OF
schools is the best. The different
states where this system is IN
operation have the best schools. This
is an undisputed fact among compe-
tent Judges. This being the case ev-
cry person having the real welfare of
education at heart will wish to give
the new system his active support.
But it is too much to expect that all
will, and for proof of this we have only
to remember the abolishing the dis
trict system of caring for highways
The reason why, it is not hard to di
vine. The chief opposition comes
from those districts where the school
tax has been small. They are not will
ing to share equally with the poorer
district where the tax has been large.
This fact should be kept before the
people, and the question should be
settled with this issue before
them. If the dollar is of more
consequence than good schools, if the
district is of more consequence than
the town, then let the mercenary and
narrower spirit of the district prevail.
1T seems to us that a person should
have pride in the schools of his town,
rather than the district simply. 1t is
this clannish individuality warning
against neighbors that discrepancies
society. The town should be unit in
the support of all its institutions so
far as is possible, and there should be

To all interests just now the condi-
ton of the Treasury is a matter OF
great Importance. April has been a
month of unusual anxiety, and in
business circles of much discourage
ment, mainly because the gold re-
serve of the Treasury has for the first
time since specie resumption been re-
duced below $1OO, 100000 The panic
solemnly predicted as sure to arrive
when that event occurred has not ap-
peared, although there has been some
depression in stocks with several i'm
portant failures in business. But the
changes in the condition of the
Treasury have been merely continu-
ance of those which have been in pro-
gress ever since the last Presidential
election. The Treasury lost $1,000, :
874 in gold during the month, but
gained in silver Of all kinds So, 424, 299,
and also took in of it's notes outstand-
ing S744, 5O6, and Of bank notes ST.
258, 1888. In effect, it paid So, 400, 900
for notes and silver, and lost $780,
900 in gold besides.
The detailed reports show that the
public debt, exclusive of outstanding
certificates against which cash is held,
decreased during the month only
1920, 455. There was a decrease in
cash balance Of over 81, OOO, 900, but
part of this-$1 400, represents
the net decrease in certificates and
notes outstanding, so that the cash
! balance otherwise decreased 50, 736,
354. The expenditures for the month
were about So, 200, 900 greater than the
receipts, although the months re-
ceipts were 81, 100000 greater than in
the same month last year. The in
crease in customs receipts alone was
81, 700, 900, owing to enormous inn
portations, while the internal reve-
nue. and other receipts decreased. The

dian expenditures were smaller than

the redemption of bank notes, while
there was an increase of 5000, 900 in
Navy expenses, nearly $500, 900 in
pensions payments, and $1,000, 900 in

year the expenditures have been $32,
