WILL have HANDICAP RACE
PROMINENT HORSEMEN HAVE
BEEN SELECTED AS JUDGES.

Out at the Brightwood Driving Club five
important personages will assemble in
executive session in one OF the upper
rooms of the clubhouse this morning at
10 o'clock. They will be the handicap
pers who will pass judgment upon the
entries that have been received up to
that hour for the proposed handicap har-
ness race that is to be run over the ia
nous old Brightwood course Monday aft
ernoon, beginning at o'clock The
handicapping of standardized horses is
something new to Washington horsemen,
and the result of their deliberations will
be awaited with a great deal of inter-
est.
Prominent local harness horsemen have
been selected for this work. They are
DR.. G.. F. Hadfield Thomas P. Baldwin,
All are said to be duly qualified to pass
judgment upon the entrieS-to assign them
starting positions according to their
marks If this handicap race at Bright
wood is run off successfully there is every
indication that that form of starting har-
ness horses will be followed in the future.
The large number Of horsemen con-
nected with the Brightwood Driving Club
have been nightly interested of late
in the success of the handicap harness

going to duplicate 1t Monday afternoon
at their course. An invitation has gone
abroad for entries. The entry blanks are

This handicap race sill be run from
standing start. Thomas P. Baldwin, the
starter, will have special assistants for
the race, and as each assistant gives a

BRIDES MAY LEAVE YALE.
Foot Ball Eleven Will Be Weakened
if Married Man Does Not
Report.
Snec,a, Dispatch to The Star.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, September 10
The news Of the marriage Of Arthur E..
Brides of Brockton, Mass, Yale's old vet
eran foot ball player Of two years stand
ing, is the first thing which has in many
ways upset the plans Of the Yale coaches.
While Brides may rctulH, it is unlikely.
Brides was married July 4, 1907, to Miss
Stella Evelyn Stuart of South Boston at
st. Johns Church. this city. The mar
rage was kept secret and through the
summer he worked at the Office of the
Hotel Shoreham at Morris Cove. In the
fall he opened a student eating place at
No. 80 High street, and this helped him
to work his way through the medical
school. He played foot ball, too, last fall.
as the teams opponents we'll remember.
The marriage was not announced until
yesterday.
Brides Is not the first married man to
play foot ball at Yale. In 1898 Cutting
played center. He was a minister and
had charge of one Of the local churches
Besides that he was married and his wife
each day watched the practice and was
present at all the big games. The
coaches would be glad to have Brides
come back for this year.
Outside of the announcement of Brides
marriage everything is lovely for the
Yale team. Every one admits that in
wears there have not been such cand1-
dates for the back field positions.

JACK CARPENTER FOR
G.. w. u. TRACK TEAM

The prospects of strong track
team at George Washington Uni
versity during the approaching COL
lege year have been greatly en-
HANGED by the enrolment of Jack
Carpenter the premier quarter
miller OF Cornell, and who recently
gained 81 worldwide reputation by
his defeat of Lieut.. Haswelle at
the Olympian games
Carpenter, together with kemper,
formerly of Central High School,
and Thrall of Technical, form an
excellent nucleus around which a
very speedy one-mile relay team
will be built. AS the Hatchetite in
stitution will hold its second an
nual indoor meet during the COM
ing winter it is practically assured
that Carpenter will participate and
the Washington public will have
an opportunity of seeing this Won
derful track athlete perform.

To Undo What Root Did2

Is Senator CULLOM or Senator LODGE,
the Presidents nearest friend in the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, to father
the impending resolution to empower Mr.,
ROOSEVELT to send to Venezuela a spe-
cial commissioner backed by a naval and
military force?
The question thus raised is one that
the Senate il likely to consider long and
carefully. This is a matter with regard
TO which we may do well to go slow"
and to look before and after, II such a
resolution should be passed We shall find
ourselves involved in war with a Latin
American republic, if President CASTRO
proves again recalcitrant, as a mar Of
his temperament is extremely likely to
do. Such a conflict would have seemed
hardly credible at the time when Secre-
tary Roor was conducting with so much
success his conciliatory mission to South
American States.
II is obvious on the face Of things that
unless the ground for a coercive demon
s~tration on our part against Venezuela
shall thoroughly commend itself to fair
minded men in Latin American com
monwealths the feeling Of sympathy and
trust which Mr.. Roof evoked among
them may be sensibly changed, for what
we see fit to do against one Of those re-
publics to-day we may do to another
Tomorrow.
It behooves us, then, TO scrutinize with
wariness the ground for the demonstra-
ton demanded and to convince ourselves
that in equity it justities the use of var
ships for the purpose Of compelling the
Caracas Government to submit certain
claims Of American citizens against 1t TO
arbitration.

tory demand for . division and declared the House
adjourned. The bare statement Of the proceedings
shows that Representative WILLIAMS did not know
how TO avAll himself Of his constitutional tights or
did not choose 10 DO So"
As the Rlibuster in which Mr.. WILLIAMS
engaged was a game in which the wits
of the minority we're put in opposition
to those Of the majority, either side was
justified In taking advantage Of whatever
technical slip the other made. Unless 1t
be granted that the call for a division Is q
necessary preliminary and part OF the
demand for a r%ollcall, Mr.. WILLIAMS
seems to have made an erroneous move.
If the call for division is an essential
preliminary and part Of the demand for
the yeas and nays, the Speaker unques-
tionably defed the Constitution Of the
United States. The Speaker il JOSEPH
G, CANNON Of Illinois, an old and expe-
rienced member Of the House, a parlia-
mentarian Of many seasons; he is not
likely TO blunder nor to expose himself
TO attack. Mr.. WILLIAMS must prove
his Ease II he expects his charges to be
taken seriously.

BARGE CANAL AND IT'S BONDS,
Questions That WIN Never he Settled Until
Aney Are settled Rlght.

From ne Rochester P~oSi-BxpTtss.
The barge canal act submitted 10 the people
In 1908 and approved by them provided Tor
the Issuance Of tiOi 900. 200 Of eighteen year
bonds 10 DO sold when needed, the proceeds
10 be deHaEed TO barge canal work. THESE
bonds we're 70 bear interest at q rate not 70
exceed ) per cent. per annum, In lWN the
people Gmended the Constitution 80 a. 70
make the bonds run for fifty years instead OF
eighteen. In 1900 and again in 1901 the imam
cial Ofloers Of the State had great dln1culty
In marketing these bonds. and last year the
Legislature passed an act granting a SUBSIDY
OF / Der cent. to the banks making purchases
Of the bonds. Even that action did not make
the bonds attractive to investors, and no"
The Assembly has passed q concurrent reso-
luton by Q vote OF 81 10 II proposing an amend
ment 10 the Constitution permitting the
legislature TO alter from time TO tune the
rate Of interest 10 be paid on any State DEBT
or part OF such debt unlssued. II was pro-
posed originally that this power be given 70
the State Comptroller. but II IA very doubtlul
II any Comptroller would care TO shoulder thls
responsibility. and II the rate OF Interest on
the State debt Ia TO be changed from time 70
time according to the fluctuations OF the
money market and the demand for Investment
bonds II Ia better that the Legislature should
make the alterations rather than q single
State Ohicer. II this resolution should be
passed by the Senate II would 90 before the
merit Legislature and II approved by that
would reach the people In the fall OF 1909 and
90 into effect ct the beginning Of the year
1910. In the meantime we suppose the fnan-
oial oficers Of the State will have TO take their
chances In marketing the bonds; and unless
there IL an immediate Improvement In the
money market 1t IL highly improbable that
the maximum amount OF the barge canal
work will be done during the coming summer
II the work Ia TO be done at all II ought 10 be
pushed along, because more men are out OF
work and more are deserving Of State EN-
ployment now than at any previous time IN
ten years,
No effort has yet been made In the leglsla-
ture to correct the astonishing blunder that
was made In 1908, when the barge canal act
was amended 80 as to provide for annual
payments into the sinking fund upon the
whole amount Of the authorized debt, instead
Of upon that part OF II which had actually
been issued. The amount taken annually
from the current revenues Of the State Is -four
millions more than necessary and the law
should be changed. This Ia a very important
matter, for owing 10 the falling on In the
revenues Of the State IL Is compelled to draw
upon lts surplus. The friends Of the barge
canal seem 10 be In control OF the Legislature
and yet are fearful OF reopening the question,

Not an Antl.Imperialist.

In the Boston correspondence Of the
Springfield Republican a strong drift OF
sentiment to Governor JOHNSON OF
Minnesota is noted among local Demo-
Gratis, but a doubt exists as to whether
his position on the Philippine question
would be satisfactory TO Massachusetts.
Some one has discovered in a speech
which Mr.. JOHNSON made before the
University Of Pennsylvania last June a
passage that conflicts both with Mr.
BRYAN's well known views on the sub
iect and whit the principles Of the Anti
lmperialist League:
1t is Of no avail now to discuss whether the war
OF the Philippines was Just or unjust whether the
acquisition was wise or unWise. The condition
remains that the Philippines are ours, both by right
OF conquest and purchase. The lands are to-day
under the American nag, but II becomes America
to deal with the people OF that far away country
with the same fairness with which w treat each
other. . . III our duty to bend every energy
to bring the people Of what are now called the Amer
lean dependencies to such a condition that the
blessings Of constitutional government shall he en-.
Joyed By them as fully and freely as BY ourselves"
As the Boston correspondent submits,
this does not commend him at all to
those here who look for something ring
ing and true on the moral side Of the
case" II the Anti-lmperiallst League
we're a national party its candidate for
President would have TO be some other
man than JOHN A. JOHNSON, for his pos
tulate that the Philippines ARE ours both
by right Of conquest and purchase would
be intolerable to the League, 1t also
traverses the paramount plank in the
Democratic platform Of 1900 and is not
in accord with the resolution Of the plat
form Of 1904 which called for an imme-
date promise to do for the Hlipinos
what we have already done for the Gu
bans" But the paramount plank was
swept into limbo, together with Mr..
BRYAN, as sOon as the polls were opened;
and a Democratic convention would
hardly repeat now, in view OF the unset
tied state of Cuba, the language that was
used in 1904.
The Philippine views Of Governor JOHN
SON commend themselves to the mind
that is practical as well as patriotic, and
they are justified by the course of events,
That he was brave enough to utter them
as an available candidate for the Presi-
dency is but another proof of the sanity
and independence Of the nan
