HORSE RACING JUDICIALLY APPROVED


St Louis. April 1.-THE st. Louis Court OF Ap
meals to-day in a decision affirming the judgment
OF the lower court In the case Of Treacy and Will
son against Christopher Chinn held that horse
racing was neither against public policy public
morals.
Plaintiff sold the defenda ut n race horse giving
as part payment a note which was to become due
on the horses winning a race Tho defendant
claimed the note could not be collected. because
the consideration, being contingent upon a horse
race was against public policy and good morals
The plaintiffs secured Judgment and the defendant
appealed. In affirming the judgment the Court
said:
We cannot see how the racing Of horse Is
against public policy. or public morals Such con
tests encourage the breeders OF horses TO improve
tho blood or breeding Of their animals. But II this
point be conceded to the appellant his defence
would not be helped. A party 10 contract that Is
against public policy and who has enjoyed its
fruits cannot avoid his obligations under the con-
tract unless he restores to the other party all the
benefit he received under IL.

one of the most important depart
ments in the city. No one was super
seeded in Office during the time Mayor
Medill was in office without the coun-
ellis sanction. The council for time
refused to confirm couple of police
men whom the mayor had selected to
fill vacancies, but there was not the
proYocation for an issue with the
MAYOR that there is now where the
council has been overridden. and its
action annulled and its constitutional
rights defied. Not in Rock Islands
history has a mavor been on so cor
dial relations with the council as
Mayor Medill was during all the time
that he was mayor-any republican
alderman will vouch for this state
ment-and the reason was found in
the uniform courtesy that Mr.. Medill
always evinced toward the council
men, not only in civil treatment, for
that is the due of every man to an
other, but in recognition of the rights
of the aldermen as Just as important
as his own. He lnew that the city's
best interests were to be served only
in harmony in the conduct of NUM-
cipal affairs, and the council was met
more than half way in all things.
Yet the Union maintains that the
mayor may with perfect propriety
play the bully and the autocrat. be-
cause, as it falsely imagines. it is not
within the power of the council as
constituted now to prevent his doing
so. In other words it would sustain
him in seeking a course such as would
bring him at crosstire with the coun-
Gil, even were the situation so that
the council would be obliged to sub
mit-which is not the case-when by
elm bing down off his his high horse he
could get along peacefully and then
all elements would be represented in
the government of the city, according
to the present state of affairs rs the
people have decreed and made it.
