Endeavor society at San Francisco in
July.
The Southern Pacific had held out
for a round trip rate of $50, while the
other Western roads would not consent
to round trip rates, because they feared
manipulation by the scalpers. Last
Saturday a proposition was telegraphed

cisco be adopted. To this proposition
a reply has just been received from
General Passenger Agent Goodman of
the Southern Pacific, accepting the
s25 rate of the Western roads. This
gives the Endeavor people lower rates
than they would have had otherwise.

HARMLESS RACING.

There is more or less of false Senti-
ment about horse racing. This is eSpec-
ially true as applied to racing az fairs
Granting that it is out Of place when
used as a means for gambling, the fact
remains that gambling is not essential
in horse racing. The contest in all races
lies in the trial of speed. This is no
more a contest than that in the ring OF
light harness or draft horses. The con-
test for a premium on the best collec-
ton OF fruit, or the best loaf of bread.
might become the subject for gambling
as well as the contest in a horse race.
II is argued that racing always leads to
betting, whether it does so necessarily
or not. This is hardly a good reason
for aboliShing The speed ring. If the
practice is harmless within itself.
would it not he more logical to oppose
the abuse of it rather than the use of
II. It must be regarded as the best
means for 4 trial of speed in horses.
and if speed and perfect action in drjv-
ing horses are desirable qualities. then
there is q false idea in assuming that
racing should not be allowed because
somebody wagers money on it. Back
of the race course is the question of
breeding for results. But for the de
velopment of nerve, bone. fibre and
lung capacity. there would be no object
in 4 trial of speed. There is but one
way 10 test these qualities. and that is
in trotting or pacing race. In shut
ting our the race. we shut OFF the breed
ing contest. In doing this we go back
10 the plug and the plow horse. Elimi-
nate the qualities acquired ny breeding
and one horse would be aS good As an
other. Every animal would he alike
suited 10 the dray or the family car
riase. The roadster would spin along
with the agility of cart horse and the
saddler would carry himself with the
action OF dairy COW.
This railing al the speed ring because
betting is allowed Is not the fair way
Of meeting the question. If racing is
harmless. and betting q crime, then
let betting be denounced. Il might be
harmful TO bet on tomorrow'S report Of
the weather. but it would hardly just
fy abolishiEg the weather bureau.
Aside from this there are features OF
a race which attract even those who
claim 10 oppose i. There must be d.
version and amusement. else men and
women would grow sordid and care
ridden. In a wen conducted race we
see the very poetry Of motion. Invol-
unfairly we choose a favorite- Our
sympathy goes out 10 him. and, for the
time, We forget the latent sorrows that

A HIGHER TYPE OF LIAM.

By studying the laws Of matter the
psychlst has made discoveries that have
transformed the material world. 1t is
sometimes asked: VIII the patient la
bors Of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in
studying the laws of mind produce a
knowledge equally beneficial in the
mental evolution Of the human race? :
This IS a question admitting nc cate
gorical answer; but in view of the
many pessimistic predictions of science,
it is agreeable 10 contemplate the hope
full belief advanced by DR.. X. NJ. Buckle
Of London, Ont, at the recent meeting
of the British Medical association at
Montreal.
In a paper read before that associa-
ton on the Mental Evolution Of Man"
the doctor advanced the view that tel
epathy and clairvoyance are specimens
Of nascent faculties OF the mind. The
full development of these faculties twill
depend upon the general laws Of nat
ural selection. and upon whether the
possession of the nascent faculty is adj
yantageous 10 the individual and to the
race But of infinite more Importance
than telepathy and clairvoyance is the
fact that there is a nascent faculty ca
pable of indefinite development. He
remarks that 'superimposed upon self
consciousness, as is that faculty upon
simple consciousness, a third and higher
form Of consciousness is at present
making its appearance in our race"
This higher form of consciousness
usually occurs, when it appears at all,
between the ages of thirty and forty.
There are recorded several Instances OF
the possession of this power during
the past two thousand years but at pres
ent the phenomenon is of more fire.
