A Threat of Winter Racing.

1t has been recently proposed that the
national schedule OF the horse race meets
should be changed so as to provide longer
seasons in the vicinity of New York, where
the great majority of the summer races
ere run. To this end a bill Is TO be intro
duced in the New York legislature to
amend certain existing laws to permit
readjustment of the dates between the
various metropolitan tracks. AS neces-
sGry feature of this change il is proposed
to shift the Benning meets to earlier spring
and later autumn dates. The local spring
meet this year began March - and ex-
tended to April Il. period of three weeks.
The fall meet is scheduled to open Novem-
be- II and to end December 3. three weeks.
If the proposed readjustment Is effected
the spring meet will open March 10 and the
fall meet will not close until December 70.
Many citizens of Washington have for
long time believed that the local schedule
of horse races was wrong. The early
March and late November days are far
from conducive to good racing and the
meets are often held In circumstances
which suggest that they are little else than
excuses for gambling. This impression is
certain to be deepened if the spring meet
IS held earlier and the autumn meet later.
No longer could the races be considered in
the light OF wholesome sport by even the
most honest enthusiast They would I'M
mediately be regarded by the whole COM
munity as affordng merely the chance for
money-risking on a large scale.
Especially Is the extension OF the fail
meet into December to be opposed II
would seriously interfere with the Christ

BiSnarckiana,

1t is reported that Prince Bismarck
death will release for publication important
papers bearing upon his fathers retirement
from office. The subject is not nearly so
interesting as it was several years ago,
but still interesting enough to insure atten-
ton for anything of value that really illumi-
mates it. The old chancellor was one of
the three greatest men of the nineteenth
century. and his name and achievements
are, like those of the other two, producing
a good deal of literature. Napoleon and
Lincoln, though long in their graves, make
today excellent copy
1t is to be doubted however If there is
anything under cover which if brought to
light would materially affect the present
Judgment about that episode. The world
has sympathized with the old chancellor.
1t has made all allowances for his temper
ament and his overbearing personality, but
holds that somehow he should have been
spared the unhappy experience of his
closing years. He was at that age and was
so great a man his claims upon his master
We're extraordinary. He should have been
permitted to die in harness. disposed even
as he was to make things uncomfortable at
times for those around him.
L ne growing respect 1Or the KAISER as q
man Of parts has strengthened this feeling
At first his act was ascribed to small and
envious nature. People wondered what
would become of the ship now that the
youthful skipper. in a moment of folly, had
dropped the pilot But the kaiser has
shown himself to be ruler of high talents
He gives his whole time to his people, ara
has impressed the world more than favor
ably.
Why then. 1t Is often asked, did not this
strong and developing man bear more pa.
tiently with the strong and declining mar
to whom he and his house owed so much?
Why practically have dismissed a public
servant whose career had been so long and
so eminent, and who now was so very near
the end of his life? Acknowledgment of
the kaiser's powers but increases the criti-
cism of his conduct. He should have risen
superior to ordinary resentment in such a
case. Anything further on the subject from
the house of Bismarck will, we may be
sure, not lack for pith and point, but how
ever favorable to the old prince Is not
necessary IN the matter of his fame.

The Gurney Affair.

The Quincy incident is likely to prove a
blessing, after all. From all present indi-
cations Mr.. Quincy is booked for a Jolt
from home that will serve as a far more
effective punishment for scorching than the
fine which Judge Phelps applied. Further
more, the refusal of the attache to plead
and the subsequent action of the court in
filming him for contempt, with all the Incl
dental publicity, will soon be found to have
advertised widely to the whole world that
the immunity clause is live wire and that
fo1 eigrers on Diplomatic service in this
country are really more rigidly bound to
obey the laws and regulations than the cit
liens of this country. a diplomatic official
cannot with impunity step over the line.
He may not suffer ordinary punishment,
but he loses his prestige and perhaps is
threatened with the loss of his position.
BY peculiar inversion the immunity
clause is a burden upon the diplomatic Of
hcials. 1t is constant temptation to some
of them to do that which is forbidden or
binary mOrtals. Had Mr. Quincy meekly
pleaded guilty to the charge at Lee and
paid his fine no one would ever have known
of the episode outside of the half dozen in
volved. If willing to go on paying for his
indulgences in fast riding at the rate of
50 scorch he might have kept it up along
with the confirmed automaniacs indefinitely
and suffered only in purse. But Mr. Cur
ney seemed to think that he could have his
cake and eat 1t, too.
The instant anger of the British press
against the attache is a good sign of a bet
ter understanding Of the conditions on this
SIDE One of the London newspapers praises
the exhibition of good sense by its Amer
lean cotemporaries in their comments on
the incident. This is gratifying. 1t is, in
deed, particularly pleasing that the affair
is passing without the least move on either
side toward tail twisting. The real suf-
ferer in the affair is Mr.. Quincy, however
Inundated Judge Phelps may be. however
much he may regret the disclosure of his
ignorance of the law of immunity and how
ever embarrassing may be the necessity of
going through form of retraction.

Tolstoi Blood and Philosophy.

Count Tolstois sons are not in agreement
with their father on the subject of war.
One of them has just departed for the
front. while another. returning from bid
ding his brother goodbye sounds the
praises of Russian valor and predicts not
only his country's triumph over Japan, but
a world conquest for Russian arms.
This is not unnatural 1t is said that
blood Is thicker than water. To this we
may add that blood is stronger than phi
losophy. The young men are showing the
fruits of their inheritance. rather than the
influence of their fathers musings. Count
Tolstoi at their age a fighting man
himself of the first class. He went to the
front and distinguished himself in his
countrys wars, The young man who has
gone to Manchuria to do his part against
the japanese is truly a chip off the old
block. He is a Tolstoi for sure.
1t was an old soldier who observing a
regiment of youngsters going into action
with fine spirit. and knowing their ante
cedents, exclaimed with enthusiasm, 1T is
in the bloodr We shall be told, of course,
that Count Tolstoi knows more now than
when young man with fever in his blood.
He has studied much and thought much
since his soldier days. He acted then upon
impulse. He teaches now after inquiry and
reflection. Shall the world in the matter
of armed force as in other matters not be
instructed by experience and wisdom?
For answer ii may be said that Count
Tostoi would abolish not only war, but
patriotism. and in a sense, individuality
W ere his terms accepted there would be no
Russia. no France, no Great Britain, no
America, and so on. AS all are children of
one God why should there be such things
as flags, and boundary lines. and conten-
tons of any kind? Why not universal
brotherhood and peace and joy and love?
The difficulty is that the Tolstoian as
piration is unearthly. There is not the ma
terial at hand to effect its realization. The
Russian dreamer would unnlake man and
his environment. Peace Is the greatest of
blessings unless purchased with the great
est of sacrifices Where would Japan be
today If instead of the assertion she made
she had sent a deputation to the car ask
ing what she might do to further his
schemes In that part of the world? AS
long as there are Russias there will be
Japans. and. despite academic plans for
disarmament and self-effacement we shall
have both in this jolting old world for some
years to come.

Lafcadio Hearn.

Lafcadio Hearn, whose death in Tokyo
has just been announced, gave the western
world an Illuminating view of the beauties
and mysteries of the literature of Japan
in a series of stories and sketches which
will take permanent place in the litera-
ture of our own language. He has oriental
lied himself to high degree and for some
years he has lived among the Japanese
people, speaking their tongue and following
their customs. In this manner he pene-
trated into the heart of the Japanese folk
lore. and his translations and transcript
tons, in beautiful English. have been
among the most welcome of the publica-
lions for the past decade. There was IN
this more than a mere qualification of the
love for the poetic and the picturesque.
Hearn's work as translator and interpreter
gave the west a conception of the true
meaning of Japan, of it's infinitely receding
background of traditions. of its ideals and
it's moral concepts. These tales and sketches
showed Japan a land of intellectual force.
of great. fidelity to the good in the old of
genuine but well regulated emotions. Much
of Hearn's work was too subtle to appeal
broadly to all who seek light upon Japan
and its ways and people. He wrote in a
high key of poetic appreciation. But there
was much of his product that made for
better understanding of the island empire
in terms of both the past and the present.
Furthermore, Hearn's productions were al
ways of the rarest purity, and presented the
lore of the Japanese with the greatest deli
cacy of taste and feeling. He died at the
age of fifty-four, with his fame secured,
his prosperity assured and firmly established
in the hearts Of the people of Japan, whom
he loved and who loved him ardently in re-

In this controversy the dlsputants will
