$4,000, and they recommend
that ways and means com

ETHICS OF TRACK GAMBLING.

a stranger in the city who expects
to return here TO live, writes The Her.
aid a criticism of the Salt Lake news
papers, because hey do not publish
tips on the races for the informa-
ton OF men like himself who are wont
TO gamble on the results. He does not
call it gambling, however, and he says
he has made money playing the races
on the information furnished by San
Francisco papers.
There are several reasons why The
Herald does not print such stuff
Horse racing as conducted in this coun-
try and particularly on the winter
tracks. is about the crOOkedest sport in
the world. The man who thinks he
stands any show to win in such game
ranks with the bewhiskered purchaser
of green goods. From the owners of
the horses TO the men who run the pool
rooms only one object is in view, and
that is to rob the suckers. The news
paper that will publish tips" on such
game is about as respectable as the
capper for brace faro game, though
without his excuse for its crime.
The record of the rack track and pool
room business of the country is a long
chronicle of ruined lives, of embezzle-
ment. stealing. suicide and disgrace.
There is not one alleviating feature in
the whole system; it is a curse TO the
country the source of much of its
crime. a demoralizing factor in its
business and social life. Unless a news
paper wishes to identify itself as a
promoter of all that is vicious and low
and corrupt in the nations life, il can
not afford TO let its columns be used
for the debauchery of the men and wo-
men who are weak enough to think
they can make money by gambling
against loaded races.
There are newspapers that care for
the dollars to be gained by publishing
free advertising for the pool room syn
dictate. but. fortunately for Salt Lake,
the press here has not reached that
stage of want-or degradation-that
calls for such a sacrifice of their de-
cency and self-respect.

NEGROES MAKE DEMANDS.

, At a meeting of 10000 negroes held in
Mobile, Ala, to celebrate emancipa-
ton day, resolutions were adopted de-
nouncing an alleged movement on the
part of the white Republicans of the
south TO control the election of dele
gates to the next national convention
of the party. Also the negroes resolved
that they would oppose the candidacy
OF any presidential aspirant who rec
ognizes the Lily Whites" This is in
deed a serious matter for the white Re
publicans. If the negroes get together
in the south they can run the conven-
tons TO suit themselves. and they can
send solid delegations of blacks 10 the
Chicago convention.
Fully 80 per cent Of the votes cast for
Republican tickets in the south are
cast by the negroes. when the negroes
are permitted to vote at all. In the
north the negro vote for Republican
nominees forms a percentage sufficient
ly large TO make it worth reckoning
with. Indeed, the perpetuation of Re
publican rule has been made possible
largely through the votes of the black
brother. Why shouldn't he resent the
attempt of the white Republicans to
deprive him Of the privilege of par
ticipating In party councils?
The best friends the Aemrican negro
has had have earnestly advised him to
stay out of politics. He cannot play
the game with the white man, and the
more he tries the worse off he is. If
all the negroes in the country would
follow the advice of their greatest man,
Booker T. Washington, they would be
immensely better off. AS they win not
they are welcome, as far as The Herald
is concerned, to make all the trouble
they can for their fellow Republicans
Of the white race.
Negro delegations from the southern
states may figure prominently in the
next convention. The race is very like
ly to be close. AT this time no candi-
date has a commanding lead The
votes are sure to be split among three
or four candidates on the first ballot,
and perhaps on several ballots The
negro delegates may hold the balance
of power. Would not that be a great
spectacle for the country? Think of
delegations from states which east no
Republican electoral votes forcing the
nomination of a candidate of their own
selection.
It will be said that the same thing
happens in Democratic national con-
Ventions, but the Democrats have at
least the satisfaction of not being bur-
dened by the race handicap. There are
no purchasable delegates in Democrat
ic national conventions. And it is rea-
sonably certain that if the negroes do
hold the balance Of power at Chicago
the candidate with the longest purse
viii win the battle.

and it fully supported every charge tn.
editor made.
This time the testimony is being
heard behind closed doors. The re-
ports that come from the court room
indicate that the trial is going against
Harden. One of his strongest wit
nesses. the divorced wife of Won Moltke,
has retracted the most damaging por-
tions of her original testimony. Wit
nesses have been introduced, also, TO
show that she is not a woman of good
character. The German people no
longer hail Harden as a deliverer of
the court from the vices which he
charged as existing, Some subtle infiu-
ence has been at work to bring about
this change of sentiment.
Harden had everything against him
in his first encounter with the Round
Table knights" The strongest inf1u-
ences the aristocracy could bring to
bear to crush him were used. 1t was
not believed that he could possibly
win. Yet. so strong was the case he
presented. that he was triumphantly
indicated and for several months he
was popular Idol. The question is
row as to whether Re deserved his arse
victory or whether, having had suffi-
Client time to prepare their case and
having acquired a wholesome respect
for their adversary, the knights" have
been able to fortify themselves with
false witnesses.
The secrecy of the hearing has a bad
appearance. 1t looks as if there was a
determination not 10 give Harden a
fair fighting chance. 1t is well within
the realm of probability that Won
Moltke and his fellows win be returned
the winners. But there will always be
strong suspicion in the minds of
many observers that the editor has
been dishonesty dealt with in this sec
ond hearing, that unfair methods have
been used to break down his case.
