reau?"
II found" explained the other, that
there was one -Burrelle's
press clipping burcau--in New York
which had been in existence n great
many years. 1 found many small bu-
reaus, but instead of reading 1.600
newspapers a day, as the Burrellc's
bureau does, they might possibly read
half that number in month. found

Now, here is the strange result.
For two or three months L received

but my suitcase, containing some VAL
liable material was lost.
"The next day accounts appeared In
the papers of the accident. and as my
name was mentioned, the Burrelle peo-
pie sent me all the items.
Here's the sequel. l put in a claim
against the ferryboat company to
cover what had lost in my suitcase.
The question arose whether could

I knew OF no one who had actually seen
me on the boat. My lawyer told me

to my clippings. There found in the
printed stories a list of ten people
who had been on the boat. In two
days I had six people who had seen

SATURDAY, MARCH ii, 1905.
Book,rakING DOOMED.

Governor Hughes's anti-race- track
betting bill has triumphed, and james
II. JKeene, August Belmont, Harry
Payne Whitney and the bookmakers,
all noble patrons Of sport, for a con-
sideration are in fair way to be
put out OF business wholly and entire
ly in New York at least With this
announcement ends chapter in O
most remarkable moral movement. No
one has ever denied that horse racing
was exciting, allurng and EXCEEDING
dear to the heart of commoner and
king alike.
So with the development and ex-
ploitation aof this pastime in New
York to all the grandiose accompani-
ment of "lovc of the noblest animal
and patron OF kingly SPORT which the
race-track owners paraded as their real
motives. the deluded public failed TO
observe the inevitable results to which
uncontrolled racing was leading the
State.
Big purses meant big races, and from
ali over the world race-g oers flocked
to New York to see Salvador or Domino
OF Firenze or Commando or the I'M
beaten Colin, in all the glory of per-
feet strength and beauty, race AMI
struggle. and win flashing by the
post, while thousands of threats roared
their hoarse applause. Beautiful and
exciting, yes; but costly. So costly.
indeed, that the final burden of ex-
pense had to be shouldered by the
licensed bookmakers, which in the
last analysis meant the gambling puo-
lie. Now no law has ever been devised
which can effectually prevent a socia
bet between friends or where thu
sole bond for enforcement is goot
faith and craftsmanship. But thai
sort of betting gave neither TIL,
revenue nor attendance, upon which
maintaining the race tracks depended
in New York.
So naturally bookmaking grew up
and with it came the poolrooms and al
their vicious practices. In vain die
the race-tracks declare that they wer,
opposed to poolrooms-as, indeed, !!
seems they We're. The public stolidlS
answered: Gambling must so in tht
cities and on the tracks, for men ant
morals are worth even more than race
horses"
The vested interests struggled hard
but race-track gambling was doome,
from the first for correct public sen
timent w;ts. really and earnestl,
aroused. And that sort of sentiment il
the strongest thing in America.

Precisely They needed an emer-

plan was utterly inadequate. Hence
they had to resort to clearing house
certificates. which, after all, were abut

issued III an emergency against the

time of panic They We're used in
preference to bond secured notes as n

Mr.. Bailey says, they were less ex-
pensive to obtain and easier to retire.
That should be the case with all cur

erly secured, but it should be easy to-
issue and easy to retire. That is elias

BROWNSVILLE AND THE NEGRO
VOTE.

Those among the colored brethren
who have cynical turn must have
been struck with the purely quadren-
friendships. The recurrent period of
amlty is just now fast coming on. The
spring Of populari:" Is again begin
ming to bubble joyously at the black
mans feet. Politicians anxously con-
suit his wishes and his needs. Great
statesmen of national reputation thun-
der righteously about his trials and his
fluctuations. Kindly strangers approach
and hand him cigars.
The colcred vote, in short, has once
more become the choice quarry of can
didates. Possibly it is dscourteous TO
associate with this situation the Presi-
dents latest message in connection
with the Brownsville affair But that
message is, in the light of past events,
undoubtedly curious. The Shooting
! up" OF Brownsville took place in Au-
gust 1906. An official investigation
was at oncc ordered and prosecuted.
That the President regarded this in
quiry as complete and final was appa-
rently evidenced by the fact that he
made 1t the basis for summary judg-
ment. On October 4th the War De-
partment issued an order which said:
THE President approves the recon-
mendaton that the whole three COM
Ipanies Implicated in the atrocious out

No decision could well be more clean
cut definite and explicit than that.
| Presumably the President did not reach
at without assuring himself that he
knew all the facts. Moreover, we find
him, more than two months later con.
hrming that decision and irrevocably
blocking all possibility of appeal from

Evening Sun for the reprint of this
J paragraph from the special message
to- the Senate in December, 1906:

Swarthmore College. Swarthmore had
grand opportunity along this line, and
utterly missed 1t. An eccentric lady
had offered 1t bequest, variously esti-
mated at from s1oOO,oOO to sS,OOo,o0o,
to give up intercollegiate athletics.
Swarthmore wanted the money, but 1t
perceived that there was moral prin-
ciplc involved. Torn between two de-
sires, 1t didn't know what to do. 1t
discussed the matter almost to shreds.
1t addressed letters begging advice to
college presidents all over the coun-
try. 1t nearly worried itself sick.
Then some shrcwd one happened to
stop n minute and figure up the value
of the becuest, which was all in alleged
coal lands and the like. He found out
that it wasn't worth s3,o0o,00O at all.
1t was only $4,000. Swarthmore's de-
cision, hagged over during long
months, came like a flash. Give up
her morals for $4,000? Not much.
Swarthmore, with a look of righteous
indignation in it's eye, rejected the
wicked proffer.
An interesting point energies. A
college cannot give up its self-respect
for $4,000. But couldn't 1t for 100000?
for 100000? II college must not
give up intercollegiate sports for s47,-
600, what would 1t give them up for?
Could a college give up anything at
all for $47000-chess. perhaps? What
would q good self-respecting college
agree to give up for. say, $4,000?
