The determination OF Mr.. c. ". VIII
liams. the noted turfman and breeder or
fine horses, TO prohibit pool-selling and
all kinds OF gambling at the two weeks
trotting meeting on his famous track at
Galesburg. Is gratifying evidence OF the
fact that public sentiment on the qles-
ton OF race-trdck gambling has secured
not only defcrental respect but positive
recognition from the horsemen them
selves. Mr. Williams has met the issue
as becomes gentleman of sense and
disceument. lie belongs to that class
OF breeders and horse-owners that Ii
in happy accord with the sentiment
which demands an absolute enforcement
of hOrse-raclng and the pool-i0x. In
deed, our best breedcrs Of horses III this
country seldom go near the pool-boNcs
at the trottins or running meets. Inc
poO-bOx is turned over TO the owners or
bony equine skates who have no inter-
est In horse breeding or the horse, only
as the noble animal can be used as an
instrument of gambling. His invasion
Of the turf has degraded and despoiied
a most captivating pastme, and has
brought the race-track into such dis
repue that a man who is known 10 at
tend trotting events need not be sur
prised IL he Is classed as "A gambler.
The efforts OF Mr. Williams and the
Northwestern Breeders Association 10

iuat ton o. the gambling element Is lauda-
bic, and merits the appreciation ana en-
couragement of the people who love the
horse but decry the ignoble ends to
which his track attachments have been
prostituted. Although 1t has suffered
a trihlng financial loss from its recent
attempt TO show that bookmaking Is not
an essential adjunct to a running meet

Time was when the fast horses were

speed to promote the interests OF de-

In the Interest Of Democracy.

The Richmond Times. the leading DEM
ocratlc daily in this State. is beseeching
the Democratic machine 20 stop stealing
votes at elections.
The Times recognizes the fact that
there are too many honest people In
the State TO allow OF this continued
fraud upon tho ballot as practiced by
tho Democrats. and IL sees that II Is
only a matter OF very short while
when the Democratic party Will be buried
out Of sight by an indignant and out
ragged people If this stealing Is not at
once stolIcd.
OF course, The Times utters these
warnings In the interest OF the Demo-
cratic party as it is stalwart of the
stalwarts among Democratic papers. ana
IT would save rs party II IT could. but
# IL thinks its warnings Will be needed, Il
must have a faith not warranted by
recent occurrences.
The element in control OF the Demo-
cratic machine has cast alt thoughts or
political honesty TO the winds. and IL is
going to continue in the stealing busl-
ness 10 the end.
Elsewhere will be found an article
from The Times. In which that paper
boldly proclaims against the fraud COM
mitted by it's party upon the ballot
