GAMBLING AND HORSE RACING.

~ OST If not quite all the States have laws

h a kinds of betting on games of chance and Oh

RICHLY enforced. The Western Union Tele-
y&xSSSy graph Company until recently maintained n
bureau of racing news. which supplied to all
who paid the price the result of horse races ON all the
tracks in the country.
THIS news was sold to what are known as pool rooms.
Now a pool room is not a place where the game of pool
is played with a cue and balls, but a place where clerks
and laborers and messenger boys and other persons of
small income assemble to pool their bets on the result of
a race. The money goes to those whose wagers were laid
on the winning horse.
Demoralizing as pool rooms are, and forbidden by law,
terested in horse racing have been so influential that they

Many persons maintain that there would be no great
race tracks in the outskirts of New York, Washington,
ST. Louis, Chicago and New Orleans If 1t were not for the
money made by the gamblers; in other words, they be

else.
1t is not possible for any law TO prevent a man from
hacking with his money his opinion as to the speed of his
horse, or to prevent a test Of speed; but it Is possible to
prevent the maintenance of betting ~ings on the race
tracks, and thus remove from the way of those of weak
moral stamina the temptation to squander on their ignor-
ance of horsefesh the money which they should use for
their families-Youth' Companion

In the present national House Of
Representatives there are 252 2epub-
licans and 1873 Democrats, a Repub.i-
can majority Of ia. The congressional
committees Of both parties are now
organized and the contest Is on for n
troll OF the next Congress. Chairman
Sherman Of the Republican committee
admits bis party will lose some seats,
but is confident 1t will r.aintain con-
troll. In order to capIdre the next
House the Democrats ust not lose a
single member and must displace fifty
eight Republicans with that many Dem
ocrats. This looks like an impossibility.
and to bring 1t about will require a
political revolution.
The Wall Street Journal presents
some figures to prove that such a revo-
luton. however, would be but repeat
ing history. In 1892 Grover Cleveland
was chosen President and the House
elected with him contained 219 Demo
Gratis. 120 Republicans and II Popu-
lists. Two years later the Republicans
elected pa members. Democrats 10
and seven unattached In that year
the Republicans gained 120 votes In
the House, or 60 more than would be
needed by Democrats to control the
next Congress.
1t Is true, as the Wall Street Journal
points out, that the elections Of 1904
took place at a time Of great financial
depression which had a marked effect
on the voters. But go back to 1880,
the year Garfield was elected Presi.
dent. With him vas elected a Congress
composed Of 152 Republicans, 1873 Dem
ocrats and three unattached In 1882
the country was enjoying a period of
great prosperity and yet the Congress
elected that year contained 1914 Demo
Gratis, 120 Republicans and eleven un-
attached. II the Democrats make as
great gains this year as they did In
1882 they will control the next House.
However, 1t is too early to make es-
Inmates. Much will depend Oh the ac-
ton of the present Congress. II the
Senate has the wisdom to pass a just
railway rate bill, and If our national
lawmakers will show a disposition to
no longer look upon the schedules of
the present tariff as something sacred
and not to be revised, but will start
the work Of revision along a n and
protective lines, then there will be no
danger Of a political revolution. There
will be a revision of tariff schedules
and it should be done by the Republic
can party, but II that party does not
show a disposition to act in accordance
with the sentiment of the people there
is no telling what will happen on cleo
ton day next November.-Toledo

These policy holders are unwise. Vast amounts of
crookedness have been revealed In the big companies, and
some policy holders fear that the rest of the companies
are also honeycombed with graft. This is an unsafe
deduction. The companies which have been run chiefly
for the benefit of their leading officials and friends are
probably very few. And a general housecleaning has
taken place In those few. Corrupt and extravaganza OH
GERS have been thrown out and men who will run the
companies in the interest of those who pay in the mon

a CASE of foolish and fearsome
mismanagement, if not unpar-

from Georgia. The Governor of
that State "went to the scene of
the trouble" and SIN vain ad-
dressed the mob," who after
"vocifierously" cheering that
chief officer of the State, imme-
diately removed the prisoner
from the view of the Governor"
and lynched him at once, The
report declares that Gov. Hey-
ward has ordered certain soldiers
to "hold them in readiness" but
he seems to have lacked the
moral courage to take or send
the troops to the scene to control
the mob and uphold the law.
Had he done so there would have
been a legal hanging in few
days and the honor of the State
and the community would have

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Serious Railway Blockade Predicted

Abundant crops and an oversold steel

fidence that make the outlook bright

GUS business conditions. Each week

department, and the net result is uni
formly better than for the correspond

the distribution of merchandise, while
the latter is increased by seasonable
bargain sales.
Despite unprecedented preparations
for business by liberal purchase OF
rolling stock, the railways are facing
serious traffic blockade that can not
be avoided when the crops begin to
move freely. Earnings thus far re-
ported for August were III per cent.
larger than last year. Some damage
by storms was reported, but of local
effect only, and more significant
factor was the further voluntary ad-
vance in wages at textile mills. No
relief appears as to the supply of Ia

One thing generally admitted is that
the shorts in Union Pacific were left

fact was shown by the heavy covering
