BEN CROCKETT.
Maximum Stake at Bennfngs Won
 by to Favorite.

Maximum Stake at Bennfngs Won
 by to 5 Favorite.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Ben Crock ett, at 4 to 5, repeated his victory of last year when lie won the Maximum stake. Last year he beat Shorthose and others, and now he defeated, in a canter, Ostrich, who was ridden wait ing race in front for two and a half miles.
 At the end of two miles Ben Crock ett was several lengths behind Ostrich, the latter going easily. In the next three furlongs Romanelli sent Ben Crockett up to Ostrich, and the two horses disappeared in the fog of the far turn. with the most interesting part of the race to come. The 5000 men and women strained their eyes to get glimpse of the leader, and when the red and white jacket on Ben Crock cit appeared far in advance of Ostrich the whole stand cheered the plucky son of Ben HolIaday, who never had an easier victory.
 The time. 5:30, could have been beat en several seconds by the winner if there had been any real pace. The race was worth $1, ,165 net to the win ner. He won the Maximum last year in 5:34 3-5.
 Miller succeeded in placing Ostrich much better than Jost had done in the cup, but nothing could avert his defeat. Louis H. ran a poor race. He showed dull and listless appearance and has had too much of 1t apparently.

Has Taft Surrendered?

Secretary Taft. doubtless with the
approval of the president, has decided
that the United States should not be
held up by the tariff -fattened trusts in
the purchase of material for the Pan
anna canal He found. for instance.
that steel rails with which to double
track the Panama railroad could be
purchased abroad at $40 a ton, whereas
if they are bought in this country they
will cost $33 a ton. and the singular
thing about il is the rails are not only
identical in quality, but are made by
the same company. On ships, too. the
saving would be proportionately as
large The "stand-patters" at once set
up long and deep howl and declare
they will force a change in Secretary
Taft's decision.
Judging from the dispatches from
Washington. they have already sue
ceeded. as the secretary has decided
not to buy any foreign built ships at
present" or TO purchase abroad any ma
terial for the Panama canal beyond
that needed for immediate use" Sec
rotary Taft probably read Congress
man Grosvenors interview in which he
declares the country would rather pay
a little more for something that was
made at home, furnished employment
for home folks and gave them better
pay than their more unfortunate neigh
bors abroad have enjoyed and quick
ly surrendered. Secretary Taft start
ed out all right, but it looks as if he
has already made peace with the
stand patters."

ton of any one of Is states in the un-
ion. That is. there are IS states which
have less than 1000 900 population.
Now as these millions of immigrants
who are rushing into this country are
on the average far below the standard
average of American citizenship, il
means the assumption by this country
of a gigantic task educating. develop
ing and bringing to a respectable
standard of citizenship these millions
of people
The rush of 1000, 900 such people
into this country means an increase of
20 per cent in the number of men in
the United States whose means of live
lihood is such that they are officially
classed as common laborers." La
borers are among our best citizens.
but the kind now flowing into this
country is not anywhere comparable
TO the class of American or foreign
labor that today has much dignity and
intelligence. Then, too. are social
conditions and other characteristics to
be considered which place thousands
of these foreigners far below the level
of American labor.
All in all, the situation is serious.
and both President Roosevelt and the
national congress may well be serious
" concerned. If the best interests of
the United States demand that this
food of immigration be checked,
halt should be called al once.
