Lady Irna Breaks Record
Lady Irma, unknown to the turf
world on the coast until last week,
gets credit for breaking the other world
record that was shattered yesterday.
She is so sensationally fast that many
took flyers on her chances when the
bookies made Jane Swift 6 to favor
lite and placed and 5 to 1 against
Lady. She hoped into the lead i'm
mediately after the start and was half
a length to the good at the quarter.
It was three lengths at the half, five
lengths at the home stretch turn and
seven lengths at the wire, running
easily and capable of doing half a
second faster time. HaZelthorpe out
gained Jane Swift in the last eighth
and placed ahead of Jane by half a
length. About all that Jockey q. Mar
tin had to do was to sit still in the
saddle and hold her head up. She
was not rated, and the 81 pounds on
her back was nothing more than
enough to steady her. Although show
ing a disposition to quit at more than
five furlongs heretofore, she could have
gone on and won at six furlongs, and
possibly farther. as she was running
like a well oiled machine and showed
no signs of firing. Everything behind
her was dizzy drunk.
Enfield surprised everybody but Jim
Butte by capturing the first race un-
backed at 8 to 1. He broke in front
and never showed the slightest idea OF
finishing anywhere else. Steel, at 20
and 30 to 1, placed, and Anderson
showed. Joe Cations, the favorite, and
Roy T., both of which figured to beat
all the others, finished in the ruck.
Mary f. had her usual hard luck IN
the second race and quit after going
six furlongs, allowing Pal to pass
her in the last sixteenth and win easily
for Red Walker Lord of the Forest
showed. Mary and Milpitas killed
themselves off out in front Milpitas re-
firing to last place, while Mary stuck
long enough to run second.
Lord Stanhope outclassed his heIa
in the fourth, and after running Sec
ond to the last eighth he pulled away
and won going away by three lengths.
Niblick finished half length ahead OF
skye, which showed.
King of the Mist went to the front
at the start in the fifth race and, con-
trary to expectations, stuck for the
mile and three-sixteenths, winning by
three lengths from First Peep, which
beat Joe Coyne half a length for the
place.

If it were true, as the republicans
declare in platforms and speeches,
that the tariff protects labor. Pitts
burg should be a paradise for work
ingmen. Yet in spite of every man
ufacturing industry in Pittsburg be-
ing protected by the tariff we hear
of thousands of men being unable to
get work, anu that great distress pre-
walls there, and the local authorities
have been compelled to vote money
to keep many from starving. Wages
are also being reduced for those who
are working, but the cost of living
is still nearly at the highest point;
in fact, meat OF all kind is dearer
than ever. And yet most of these
Pittsburg workingmen and many
elsewhere vote to elect republicans to
congress, and elect United States
senator's, who stand pat and refuse to
reform the tariff that protects not
only the steel trust but the beef COM
bine and all the other trusts and COM
bines. These unfortunate conditions
under the present tariff are forcing
the republicans to promise to revise
the tariff after election" but the
promise has a string to it, for the
latest platform provides that a maxi
mum tariff is necessary, which means
a still higher tariff.

In the present presidential race
the Taft boomers are naturally the

but that he has more delegates
than anybody else, because thus far
the conventions have been held in
the states where it was easiest for
him TO get them. the purpose being
of course 10 produce an impression. -
This is but one of the many COM
ments that have appeared in the
newspapers of the country recently
on the Taft phase OF the presiden-
tial contest. and il indicates the
general distrust that is arising on all
sides respecting the claims Of the
Taft managers II has been shown
in many instances that these claims
were not founded upon fact or even
upon reasonable prospects. The
friends of Senator Knox Of Pennsyl-
yania. Vice-President Fairbanks Of
Indiana. Speaker Cannon Of Hi
nOis and Governor Hughes OF New
York. have not INDUCED in claims
but have contented themselves with
doing what they could tn call pub
lie attention 10 the availability Of
their candidates. The supporters Of
each of these candidates have hopes
that the two months that will inter
vene before the Chicago cUnveng ion
will witness a oentering Of public
sentiment upon their man. but they
have not attempted 10 deceive the
public by extravagant claims.

Translated into plain English, tho
great Easter thought is that we may
not be absorbed and immersed in
merely earthly, temporal carnal
thoughts and things. Life, never more
than in our day, is crowded with bust
ness, with pleasure even where it is
not choked with Indulgence and sue
cess.
The idlers and loungers, with no
thought but amazement, are far too
many.
The craze for accumulation of ma
terial wealth is wearing out the
strength and dulling all the finer facul-
ties of men and women And the
carelessness and idleness of people
who, with opportunities of service to
society and the demands of home du
ties, waste daylight hours and turn
hight into day with games of chance,
accentuated too often with the covet
BUSINESS of gambling, are a reproach
to the best inheritances and instincts
OF Americans.
You have no leisure class in Ameri.
ca an Englishman said once to an
American girl.
Yes she said, I'VE have, but we
call them tramps.
Leisure there ought to be. Men and
women there must be who are free
from the strain and strenuousness of
lncessant occupation, but it ought to
be a leisure for intellectual cultiva
ton, for philanthropic interest, for
the storing of energy, physical, mental
and spiritual, which shall benefit man
kind.
Awake thou that sleepest and arise
from the dead" This is the Easter
call, the Easter cry.
