MAUI HAS THE
RACING FEVER

Commenting on the racing situation on
Maui, the Maui News says editorially:
III we are to have any racec on Maui
this year 1t about time that the Maui
Racing Association should begin to move
in the matter. Racing on Maui has prac-
tically been killed by offering mscro-
scopic purses and confining the entries to
Maui bred horses. All this should be
changed. Suppose for instance that 1920
should be hung up for purses for the
July races divided as follows 500 for n
trotting race. best two in three free for
all; $500 for running race, three in five
free for all; 500 trOtting and pacing, free
for all: 500 running mile dash for Maui
bred and 500 trotting and pacing for
Maui bred, with small purses or trophies
for minor events. Such program would
bring all the best horses on the Islands
and possibly one or two from the Coast,
and the Maui people would be offered rae
ing that they would come and pay to see,
and by interspersing minor events, two
good days OF racing could be had From
500 to $500. If not more, would be re-
turned to the association as entrance fees.
which leaves from $500 to $500 to be pro-
vidod for. Onc-third of this is now on
hand and with two days racing, the ad
mission tickets and privileges would
make up the balance. 1t will go, IL the
association has the nerve and energy to
undertake 1t.

The Collision I'm YOnkers.

The smash-up which resulted from
a collision oGan automobile with trolley
car in Yonkers last Sunday, wherein
twenty-five persons were moro or less
injured, was one Of the most serious, and,
Judging from the printed details con-
corning il, one of the most inexcusable
accidents involving horseless vehicles
that have occurred in these parts The
statements obtained from the car pas
scngcrs indicate that the blame was with
the driver of the automobile who, il is
asserted not only handled his machine
with extreme rccklcssness, but appar-
emily sought To- demonstrate To his com
panions that his stced could OUTRAGE
the street car. In other words, the re-
ports accuse the chauffeur of trying to
show of al criminal risk
The chauffeur. on the other hand.
places all responsibility for the mishap
upon the motorman. The former SAYS
he did not know that the car was upon
him: that he did not attempt to cross the
track ahead of it, as the passengers
state, and, moreover, that he did his best
To avert a collision when he perceived
the situation. Obviously, therefore, the
case will need to be invest igated thor
oughly in order to determine precisely
where the blame lies. The automobile
was not out of control at the time, and
curiously enough, it left the scene in
good order.
II is unreasonable to suppose that
either mOtorman or chauffeur would
have caused the accident wilfully. IL
does not follow. however, that one or
both of them may not have taken a
perilous risk, Ample proof has been
afforded in the past that some automo-
biliSts are sadly deficient in their ideas
of safety on the public roads, not only
in so far as concerns the speed of their
vehicles, but also as regards the use
of the latter generally. Neither is evil
dence wanting that motorlnen frequently
ignore all ordinary rules of safety, as
witness the numerous street car acct
dents in and about New York recently
for which blame has been attached to
the car drivers.

Tom Taggart and the Trusts.

The Hon. Tom TAGGART used to be
Mayor of indianapolis, is Indiana men,
Der Of the Democratic National Com
mittee and would like to be its chairman.
Mr.. TAGGART imparts to the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
the awful secret that the people are
awfully sore on the trusts
The trusts have not interfered with the
rise and progress of Tom TAGGART. In
1870, as he recalls with just pride, he was
cleaning out the kitchen in the depot
restaurant at Xenia, Ohio" He is now
40 and millionaire; and he admits that
he made 100000 in the last year out of
single business enterprise, He has
large business interests. A corpora
ton with large business interests would
be a trust. Mr.. TAGGART doesn't view
himself with alarm, He happens to be
unincorporated. The moment he becomes
member Of corporation-and we
dare say he has corporate interests al
ready-he is bound to regard himself as
dangerous and to hold that the people
are sore on him.
This very forehanded ABsALoM has not
been injured by the trusts, They haven't
hurt him. Still, he is sure that "the
people, that is. some other people, have
been hurt. But the majority of the
people are prosperous. Trusts are not
hampering them.
1t is always somebody else, some in
definite and indiscernible person, some
myth or Mrs. HARRIS that the inquitous
trusts are grinding to the earth. A
great many Of the spouters against
trusts are themselves beneficiaries Of
trusts. The pretended rage against
trusts is hollow and artificial. For cam
paign purposes the Democrats assume
that the people arc sore on trusts.
Remembering the fate Of anti-mperial-
ism, We must decline to believe that the
great platform war against trusts is
anything more than sham battle
Highly prosperous Democrats trying to
Brighten their highly prosperous fellow
citizens by believing against the trusts
are essentially humorous. Their tragical
talk is contradicted by their fat bank
accounts. The whole Democratic party
is in the plight of the few surviving Kan
sas Populists. Everybody in the State

Mr. VICTOR HERBERT's musical produce

Court. The charge against them. sitting

they are not played by the street organs.
The Italian mechanic whose sign can be

way trains, who provides the persistent
hurdygurdits that pervade street and

punch any Hcrbcrtian holes in the cyl nders

produces Is not music. but a mere repeti-

There will he those who would wish that all

would abate the hurdy gurdiss; but they
are a grabbed lot who have no JOY in watch

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Before the argu-
ments were begun to-day In the Supreme
Court, in the prize money cases growing
out Of the battles Of Santiago and Manila,
Chief Justice Fuller called attention to

was the defendant in error in one Of the
suits brought on behalf Of himself and
his officers and men to recover one-half

Court as to its wishes in the matter

Election Predictions.

Predict ions of the result of an election
week of are never worthy of con-
sideration, except when. as in 1900 the
drift of political sentiment was so Oh
vious that an upward movement in Wall
Street had already begun before the
election took place,
This year no such drift is manifest
Apparently, the majorities Will not be
great, sweeping either way. But the
absence of any unmistakable mani
festation of public sentiment must be
regarded as favorabl, to the party in
power. The very apathy of which
we hear SO much is an indication of the
same sort. for it seems TO be in both
parties and to the same extent. If
there was going to be a Democratic
tidal wave next Tuesday condition
OF feeling very different from apathy y
would be plainly observable every.
where.

cratic experiment Of socialism was work.
