of the law which they merit.
In this I know I shall have the aid
CT my neighbors at home for all proper
purposes; but my time must be free from
other demands here Again, my heart is
full of hope for the election of Bryan and
Kern. Honest government and rule by
the people is at stake.
Important beyond any battle at the
polls in the last generation is the pend
ing contest.
1 would not for one moment consider
remaining in any way connected with
the committee, therefore hereby tender
my resignation as treasurer of the DEM
ocratic national committee, that not the
slightest contest of my own could in any
way be used by the president to cloud
the sky and shield our opponents from
discussing the real issues and laying bare
the Republican duplicity to the people.
Sincerely yours,

the charges made against him by

because Charles B. Squire gave me his
name," said Frank S. Monnett, former
attorney general of Ohio. Mr.. Mon

not exonerate Gov. Haskell from the
charges that had been made that he
was party to the 100000 bribe fund
of the Standard Oil Company, nor
could he condemn him.
<"All that l have against Gov. Has

From Sword to PIowshare.

Many of us make a great ito do
about too much armament, etc., and
yet the truth of the matter is that we
are literally beating our weapons OF
war into plowshares and other useful
instruments to help the farmer, the
builder and the housewife. The gov
eminent always uses the best steel
in making cannon, so that as soon as
these weapons are out Of date it can
sell them to foundries. At the foun-
dries the old cannon are broken up
and remelted, after which they are
made into plows, structural iron,
roofing, household tinware and a
dozen other things of peaceful ma
ture.-Philadelphi Record.

REGRETS BY MR. SLICER.
Calls Passage of 4nti-Racetrack
GombEne Bills Mistake.

Tho Rev. Thomas r. Slicer expressed decided
feelings of regret at the passage OF the anu-race
track betting bills yesterday he SAID ne hao ni.r
erto refrained from saying much about the pllis
bacause Governor Hughes was their sponsor, but
that their massage left him free to speak his 1nnn'
which was emphatically against them
After praisng the Jockey Club for Its adherence
IN tl,e compact made with him two years ago, with
che abolition of poolroons in view, Mr. Slicer alb
solved the club from keeping 1t any longer ana
wound up by saying that the tracks must eventual
" pass into control of syndicate OF pooifoom
..1ls announcement of the passage of the So
called ant-pettns bills said Mr.. Slicer, lis equiv
alent to an announcement of widespread cpl
deraie of gambling. For every bettor at the track
1t is quite certain that there will now be hundred
bettors elsewhere and this will be brought ABOUT
bv the activity of the pooroom operators, who
have only been restrained in the last two years
by the censorship which the Jockey Club has
maintained over the information at the tracks
"There is wide diversity of opinion among
Il uvers as to the soundness of Governor Hughes's
postion upon the legal question at issue The Gov
eruor has assumed not only TO interpret the law,
IN contradict decisions of the courts and TO raise
a moral issue that this was struggle between
gamblers and the people Of the state, but has ex-
ceded in his interference the methods of the politi-
cal bosses whom he criticises.
IF is claimed about them that they dictate the
vote of the legislators they control By taking the
stunp the Governor has dictated the vote Of the
-eonie of tuo counties in the interest of candi-
date already pledged TO do his will. L have no
aouht that the Governor was most conscientious
in this but it is also beyond doubt that he has
exceeded the functions usually agreed upon as De-
longing to his office.
My only interest in this matter is To reduce the
evil of gambling to its lowest terms. The passage
of the Hart-Agnew bills guarantees gambling to
the poor, the ignorant and the vicious wherever
a bookmaker can be met or a poolroom be
found 1t must eventuate in the control of the
tracks by a syndicate of poolroom gamblers. Then
it will not be necessary to have than ten per-
sons at the track, but the telegraph and telephone
companies that controlled with the utmost
difficulty will reap revenue from the dissemination

Boston. June 1.-THE railroad regulation bill

The members who advocated the amendments
which were adopted yesterday. to compel the
New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad
Company to sell its holdings of Boston & Maine
stock before July 1. 1910 voted with those who
had opposed the amendments. This was due to
the knowledge, which became general TODAY
that the Senate would not concur In the House
amendment. and that the bill would die. there

The defeat of this bill means that there will
be railroad legislation this year affecting in
any way the New Haven ownership OF the 1Oe-

the matter of the unihcation of the two systems
can be consummated. so far as this state is con-
cerned, unless action is taken by the courts of

With the disposition of this bill it is probable
that the Legislature will finish its business and
