To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1t Is noticed with much pleasure that the
Washington Jockey Club has many needed
improvements in course of preparation for
its track at BenningS aamopg which is a
new steel-frame grand. stand, with In
creased capacity and comfortable modern
chairs, arranged on twelve-inch risers, SO
that patrons may be able to look over the
heads OF those in front. This will be an
Improvement over the old eight-inch risers,
but 1t will not cure the complaint II the
stand Is to be built on the same lines with
the OLD one, on which everybody had to
STAND. and on the chairs. too. to get glimpse
or the stretch when an exciting finish was
on. 1t may not be necessary, but the sug-
gestlon Is ventured that grand stands
shouid not be built in prolongation of the
stretch OF race tracks, as the old stand at
Be Benning Is, but should be swung around on
the stretch end so that all can see without
the necessity sof "rubber-necking" and
standing on the seats. X.

THE COUNTRY SICK OF MCKINLEY.
ISM.


The country is sick pf McKinleyism
and sees no remedy in Teddyism. 1t is
tired of trusts, of enormous taxation,
militarism, Of Imperialism, of injustice
to the Fllipinos, to the forto Ricans and
the Cubans.
The plain people want an administra-
tion which belongs to them and not to
the people; which is closer to- the toilers
and the business interests than to the
princes Of combination who sympathize
with the Vanderbilt exclamation, "The
people be id"
The tens Of thousands of travelling
men are saying it to theirscustomers and
to their fellows whom they meet on the
trains; the hotel men with empty room ms
are saying it to their merchants. The
farmers who have sense enough to keep
out of the fire are beginning to see how
protection treats them when they have
to flee to the penitentiary to protect
themselves from being fleeced on binder
twine; the newspaper proprietors real
ize that the remedy they ask, the plac-
ing of wood pulp and white paper on the
free list, will never be granted to them
by the republican party.
The republican party has been con-
demned in the minds ckthe people, and
cannot be galvanized into new life by
the nomination of Teddy Roosevelt
for the first place on the ticket

There are old fogies in politics and
old fogies in religion; old fogies in sci
ence and old fogies in philosophy. The
men Of every generation imbibe the
prevailing opinion on political ques-
tions,: on theological doctrines and eco
nomic problems. Failing to keep up
with the "march of mind" some men
settle down into the self-satistied con-
viction that they are right and all in
the past who differ with them are
wrong, and that all new light is false
light. These old fogies are found in
party, in church and society. The less
thinking they do the more certain they
are Of their position. They become
hardened in their beliefs just in proper
ton as they stop study. They are self;
confident, scornful Of new things and
inhospitable to new ideas.
