THE BREEDERS LAW.
1t Breeds Crime Instead of
Breeding Good
Horses

Two or three st. Louis papers
are working hard for the repeal of
of the Breeders Law in Missouri,
a law which set forth as its object
the breeding Of fine horses, but it
only breeds racing and gambling.
The st. Louis Chronicle says the
law was conceived in iniquity,
passed in bribery and it operates
in shame. The St. Louis Post
Dispatch says the law is disgrace
to the State of Missouri, as 1t
would be to any civilized commu-
nifty. 1t legaIizes gambling on
race tracks while prohibiting it
elsewhere, thus licensing and cre-
atipg II special privilege or monop'
oily in vice.
The consequences Of this wicked
law are seen in the ruin of thOus-
ands of men and women foolish
enough to take advantage of the
satanic opportunities it holds out,
in the degradation and enfeeble-
ment of the moral fibre of youths
and young women who are drawn
within the sDhere of the vicious
influence, and the very perceptible
tendency to general demoraliza-
ton in the communities most eX-
posed to it. Besides these moral
aud social evils, it should not be
forgotten that vast sums of money
are every season diverted from the
channels of economic usefulness
aud sunk in the pit of waste.
The Post Dispatch quotes Hon,
Walter Burch, Democratic Repre-
sentative elect from Audrain conn
ty, in reference to the breeder S
law as follows:
Mexico, Mo-, Dee, 9.-"Am not
very familiar with the provisions
of the Breeders Law, but am de-
cidedly opposed to the evils exist
ing under that law, and will assist
in eradicating those evils. III that
requires repeal l would favor re-
peal, but if it cnn be reached by
amendment, l might be in favor Of
amendment, My support depends
upon the nature aud provisions Of
the bill which is drawn to correct
those evils.
/ am in sympathy with the pnr-
pose Of your efforts, aud if the bill
drawn 20 remedy the evil is fair 10

defeated
On Monday came the day of
