Let state issues be considered in
state elections, and in selecting con-
gressmen may the best man always
win. We have an excellent presi-
dent. but in spite of his party ardor
it can not be made to appear that
republicans help and democrats in
jure the work that he is doing. All
the house votes against the rate
bill were republican. The Philip
pine tariff bill was killed by the re-
publlcans. Speaker Cannon had to
be frightened out of opposition to
the pure food bill. The American
people are not credulous enough
to engulf the assertion that the re-
publican party and the presidents
performances are bound together in
any Siamese relation-Collier's.

GUIDES
SHERIDAN TO \
Z VICTORY

The blue ribbon event of the
present Interstate racing meet was
won yesterday by Ed Sheridan in
1:57h, equaling the track record.
Sheridan was an even money choice
with little Herman Rettig in the
saddle. Christine A and the win
ner were coupled in the betting as
the T. A. Davies entry. Jockey
Rettig deserves all the credit for
the win. He held the big brown
gelding we'll under control at all
stages of the race and did not allow
him to use burst Of speed until
the back stretch was reached.
Here he urged Sheridan to show
his breeding and got the thorough
bred down to his best gait evident
ly knowing that the rangey gallop-
err could best make the turn on the
hill at his speed. Sheridan has
always found the short turns hard
to make but having the hill to
travel on gave him a good start.
Florence Fonso and Cabin were
hanging on desperately and at the
head of the stretch the three
rounded before the grandstand in
burst of speed that was thrilling.
1t was study for an instant as
to whether Sheridan or Florence
won. 1t was a nose finish with
Cabin third and running in better
condition than the others. Jockey
pullman was confidently expected
to win with Cabin. Bullman was
heavily played by the talent, not
because he was mounted on Cabin
but on account of his reputation as
a rider.
The browning touch to the thrill
er" was petite Miss Caroline Rich
ards who placed the floral saddle
on the winner. Sheridan was "all
in" and fretted but the only evil.
dence Of disapproval showed by
him was a snort as Miss Richards
went to his head to pose for the
picture.

Ilae survival of the Unfit.

The average baby born today has a
chance Of reaching five years of age
better by fifty per cent than would
have been the case half a century ago.
Its prospect of esca ping the diseases of
childhood and growing up is vastly i'm
proved, as compared with earlier days.
Now, 1t is very desirable to save the
babies, and one of the greatest
triumphs of our newer civilization is
the successful rearing of three human
infants for every two that survived
half a century ago. But 1t Is unde
niable that the race as a whole suffers
by the change, inasmuch as the weak
lings, instead of being weeded out, are
thus enabled to grow up. These weak
Inigs not only propagate other weak
Hngs not only propagate other weak
vigor of constitution, commonly fail to
reach old age. In this fact, doubtless,
is found one cause of the rise in the
death rate in later life.-Dr. John v.
