study and a happy substitute for the
present talk of contrasting this decision
would be for the. aggrieved party to
give their rivals another tilt at an
early date. The place to beat a COM
petitor in baseball is on the diamond
not in arguments. The sooner pro-
tests are muff1ed and sleeves rolled up
for base hits, the quicker will it be
settled which can play ball the better.

Medical Examiner Beardsley has
completed his inquiry into the oircun~
stances of the death of Charles Voray.
The body was found last Friday below
the dam and the last seen of the lad
was on the Saturday afternoon pre-
Viot1s. Eleven witnesses were exanain-
ed and after careful study Of the
evidence secured 1t is the conclusion Of
the medical examiner that Voray came
to his death by drowning at sonlef1nne
between $3.50 and s o'clock p. m. near
the east abutment of the dam, and that
no person known so far ito the medical
Eexaminer is acquainted with the cir
cumstances of said accident. A good
deal has been said a.bouta boy by the
name of George Wilson as possibly
knowing to the whereaoout OF the mis-
sing Vora:y on the ill-fated afternoon
But his storyis received blythe, medical
examiner asasensat lonalEor eleeethe boy
was so affected by the many int erviews
suggesting his completely with the
death Of Voray that WILCOX worked up
the story to avoid further annoyance.

Failure allowing the privilege OF horse
racing with pools tosTbe a n1atter Of
local option is not unfavoEaauly criti-
Fcised in this locality. Race is a-Iegion
of lovers Of horse flesh in this section
and it was regretted hyrhundreds that
the Derby Tfotting' Park meetings were
to be discontinued. There were hun
Sdreds who went to the races who never
bet q postage stamp and 1T did not mar
their enjoyment if they learned ofFsev-
.eral pools who had parted with their
dollars at the wheel of fortune or at
the French pools. Their reasoning was
the same as might obtain at Yale
Princeton ball game that it concerned
them not If a reckless youth burned
up a ten dollar bill in an unlucky
wager-that they were at the Yale
field to see the game of ball and that
they were not the conservators or ap-
pointed guardians of would-be sports
The Derby races drew quite a. crowd
every day and among those there were
many who gambied. AS one OF these
remarked, It was a pleasure to him to
stake a few dollars and as the money
was his own 1T was nobodyRs business
whether he spent it in the pool-oox orr
in a box of cigars. The conclusion
reached here is that of the world wide
aver that gambling cannot be suppress
ed by law any more than drinking. The
The statutes may erlabarrass the graft
ftcatton of the propensity, but why the
innocent should be barred out of a pleas
ure because of the folly those benz any,

the bill will 80 through.
