SUPPRESS THE PLuheERs
Western Turfmen Think Big Betters
Hurt Racing Game

: Leaders OF. the western turf organiza-
tions are discussing, the best means to
suppress the exaggerated and absurd re-
ports Of plunging on racetracks which ir-
responsible men ignorant of their business
and merely in search Of the sensa ational
publish, daily In any paper on which they
can foist them. They realize that the
prominence given to the betting end of
racing will be harmful to the sport If
allowed to go unrestricted There were
more big plungers on the turf last year
than ever; before, and there are prospects
that the coming season may find even
more Isl
The matter Of suppressing the plunger
will not be taken up by the Western Jock
ney club, because the organization takes
no official recognition Of betting. The
work OF suppression will have to be done
quietly and diplomatic tically by the racing
associations themselves. Last summer,
for instance when Joe U1lman and Kid
Weller were making too much of a stir
with the big store at New Y ork, they
suddenly dropped out Of sight for time
They said they needed a rest. When they
returned to the ring they did business as
Quietly as a modest loookmaker.

PATTERNS AFTER MINNESOTA
Illinois Tries to Pass New Hunting and
Game Law,

Game Law.
Illinois will have a new hunting and
game law if the legislature takes favor
able action on a bill which has been in
troduced. The bill is framed with the
intention of stopping the killing of game
for market, and thus preserving the game
and fostering the sport Of hunting. and
provides for the licensing of all hunters.
whether they are residents of Illinois or of
neighboring states.
This license plan will secure a fund for
the enforcement of the law, pay game
wardens and provide birds for stocking
certain districts. The plan compels
sportsmen who get the most benefit from
game protection to pay the sum of 81 a
year. but does not tax those who are not
interested. Special provision is also made
so that the farmer or his family may hunt
on his own property without paying the
tax. .-#.3#- .-. 80 >s.a.-si --r7s
The bill is almost verbatim copy of
the law in Wisconsin, Minnesota and the
Dakotas, and in a measure is proposed as
a means of self-defense against the laws
of these states and Indiana, which have
made similar provisions. which apply par
ticularly to hunters from Illinois.

It need surprise no one if Il great
debauch follows the opening of the
new drinking places in this and every
other town. 1t will be the natural re-
suit of so radical change Of policy
on the part of the state. These
troubles will be seized upon by the
prohibition papers and orators as aw-
full examples of the horrors of legal
lied liquor selling, but there is no
good reason for disturbance over the
matter. 1t won't be half the moral in
jury to the community that was the
wholesale lying as to where liquor was
procured that was INDUCED in when
the enforcement of the prohibitory law
was first attempted, and it will right

The outcome of the suit against the
Machinist's labor union of Rutland by
the Patch Manufacturing Company
was to be expected. 1t was merely an
other application of an old principle
of law that has been laid down a thou
sand times before. There was nothing
novel about the matter except some OF
the attendant circumstances. The
finding for the company to recover
$500 damages was inevitable from the
facts as shown and on the whole labor
win benefit more from the result than
capital. The right of labor to organ
ize to strike and to use more suasion
argument and every reasonable thing
except force, intimidation and boycott
is not and cannot be denied So far
can labor go and have the support of
public opinion which is the great and
important thing in settling labor diff
culties. Against exceeding that right
it is well that labor organizations
should be warned.

The first bar to be opened in the
state under the new law was at the
Logan House at Middlebury, last
Thursday evening. The rush was so
great that all the would be patrons
could not get inside the door. In
most of the cities and towns the Ii
censes are to be issued to date one
year from May l, and the next legisla-
ture should provide for uniform issu-
ance of licenses, as in Massachusetts
and other states.

keepers in the town. At the meeting

formal application for a license offer
ing as bondsmen Stephen j Grady and
Arthur j. Merchant. Mr. Christopher
proposes to rent the residence of E. H.

mond House in North Adams, desire
that he shall secure the license. lie
intends to buy the old hotel property
for $4,000 and erect a modern hostelry
and barns which would be an orna
ment to the town. IL is claimed that
the Potter residence at best would be
poorly adapted to hotel purposes.
Il is the desire of the lsading ctr
zens of PoWual that the new hotel
should be built for the proper accom-
mediation Of the travelling public.
