RACEHORSE GAMBLING.

The Mayor OF Chicago, who has made
himself famous throughout the country
in many ways, now offers a suggestion
to the government which viii probably
create some interest and newspaper dis
cussion. He takes the view that race
horse gambling should be placed ex-
actly on par with lottery enterprises
and other schemes Of chance, which are
forbidden matter through the malls. lie
urges that they be excluded from all
mail privileges. This, as we under
stand II, Is not intended by any means
to suppress horse-racing That is an ex-
ercise likely to promote the raising OF
the finest breeds Of that noble animal,
the horse, and Is pastlme that stirs
the blood Of all who love those trials OF
speed and that attracts thousands Of
live people IN every part Of the world
But gambling on the race course or
through pool-rooms is altogether an
other affair. The evils that come from
II are OF similar kind to those that
arise from the gaming table They
may not be 80 prolific Of vice and crime
and ruin as common gambling IL. but
that It is the source Of much trouble,
peculatlon and reckless speculation can
not be truthfully disputed Yet there
are publications devoted specially 10
betting news, and the conveyance Of
tips" (which are more or less delusiye
and act as traps for the unwary and
they have the privileges Of second"class
matter through the mails The differ
ence between them and the legitimate
news published in the regular journals
of the country may be seen at glance,
II IL not against mere news OF races
that Mayor Harrison lifts his voice, but
he would have Congress pass appro-
pirate legislation 80 as TO shut out
from the mails the class OF publlca-
ton that are devoted to race-horse
gambling and It's encouragement His
suggestion is a good one and worthy
the consideration Of our national legls-

which we are all proud and its mem-
bers are each entitled to words Of

SCIENCE AND DEITY.
The Churchman.

Inc ChurChlnan,
with all reverence it may be said
that a new and profounder conception
OF Gods omnpotence Is becoming part
of the common intellectual atmosphere,
and this has been one Of the results Of
scientific teaching, though the church
has not always been willing to confess
It. IL Is certain that the best Chris
tian philosophy Of the past, represented
by those who carried into their profess
sion Of the faith the achievements OF
Greek thought, Is In no way opposed
to the point Of view OF modern scientific
culture. Christians Of today therefore,
not only need to understand science,
but, above all, they need to go back
with discrimirg ton to the best sources
OF Christian teaching, The problems of
today arise from no mere repetition of
past experience. Independence Of
thought alone win reconcile the OPP
posing camps The scientist is not APP
pcaled TO by mere precedents, but
Christians and scientists, so long as
they are mutually loyal 20 the truth,
can never be long estranged.
