Commissioner George F. Parker of
Cherry Greek presented a straight
board yesterday in the matter of
county jail erection. 1t called on the
county to take up its own bonds with
ury This meant sale of the bonds at
par and payment of the interest to
the taxpayers direct instead of to out
ers turned AR. Parker's suggestion
down, because it appeared that it
would lie necessary to secure a court
decision to determine whether the
step as proposed could be legally
taken Such decision could be had
at no cost to the county further than
little time. 1t looks as If mis-
take had been made. particularly in
view of the dire need which exists in
the name of humanity and decency
for larger Jail quarters than now ex-
list Having passed the court house
and Jail building matter into oblivion
for another period however, it would
seem that the commissioners could
do no less than to at once provide ad-
ditional facilities of some character
for the relief of the situation.

The paper trust is fighting for life
In congress. While the monopoly
will go sooner or later it is sparing
no effort to make it as much later
as possible. Confronted with GER
tainty that unless blocked in its
progress congress would yield to the
demand of newspaper publishers
throughout the country and lower the
tariff on wood pulp, the monopoly
has through its representatives in
congress called on its opponents to
proceed through the courts and
knock out the trust in that way, con-
gress in the meantime keeping hands
off. Brief extension of the life of
the trust will be the sole result.
Along with a number of Others of
its tribute exacting kind it will go
down and out at the hands of the
next Republican congress, which
must and will bring about a new tar
in schedule.

several years as secretary of the Wash

for d successor. who will be chosen at the
meeting Of the club on February il.
Last week il was exclusively announced
in these columns that those higher up III

with turf followers. with Walton out Of
the way it is believed that The other Off
GERS win be reelected. 1t is said that
the former secretary will remain in New
York.
The club is already making plans for
the spring meeting which opens the lat

CAPITAL A CITY OF CULTURE.
Washington Appreciates Chance 10 Get
Coed Books.

Washington IS something more than
simply the seat of government. Il may
justly lay claim 10 being a center Of
culture even when compared 10 Boston.
which is considered Americas educa-
ti0uaI Mecca
This claim for Washington might be
dismissed or questioned by many. but
fortunately il can be proved, and in d
very simple way
Last year il will be remembered. the
Cosmopolitan Magazine undertook to
ad1 regular subscribers TO its lists by
Offering as an lnducement a fun set of
the Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
and Atlas
To be sure the price was brought
way down; Il was very low for so eN-
pensive work, but still the amount
involved was q matter TO be considered
by those of moderate means
The distribution began and was a
great success, for 1t added within a few
days large number of yearly readers
10 the Cosmopolitan, and il placed in
each home Il great work OF general
reference.
Since that time similar distributions
have been successfully held in other
cities, even in Boston, but in no case
were so many sets claimed in pTOpOT-
tion 10 the population as in Washing
ton. or claimed so quickly.
] LiH iEttiIla LltN Is on tue aullGtlIN
Of the Century people themselves. and
they also say that even before the reg
ular distribution began there had been
sold in Washington by subscription
and at high prices, more than 2,000
sets OF the work
Many of the latter however, were in
the various departments. and the gov
eminent did not figure In the CosmO-
p0llt3n distribution. Neither did the
members Of either House. for Congress
was rot in session.
1T was Washington as a home city.
and not as a National Capital. that was
concerned, and the result clearly shows
that Washington folk, the permanent
residents. know a good thing along
literary and educational lines. and are
quick to seize II.
Even then there were many who
through hesitation or absence failed TO
participate. and since then many re-
quests have come in to Woodward *
Lothrop to bring about another distri-
/ button. This they were unable to ac-
cOmplish until recently, but finally sue
Ceeded in arranging with the COsmO-
politan for a small allotment, only 200
sets all told and these are being dis
tributed through the Woodward &
LOthTOp book department
Members of Congress. therefore as
well as others who failed to secure the
work last year, will do well TO apply
without delay, and take advantage Of
the same little price and convenient
| terms which then prevailed.

JOCKEY CLUB MAKES DEFENSE
Claims that It AntagOnizes Betting
on Horse Racing.
In Exhaustive Review of Situation
in New York Turf BOdy Contends
Percy-Gray Law constitutional.

New York, Feb S.-The Jockey Club
made public to-day its defense Of racing
in the State of New York in the shape
Of pamphlet. entitled The Truth About
Racing"
1t is an exhaustive review Of the turf,
as conducted under the provisions of the
Percy-Gray law and a part OF it fol-
lows:
Racing needs no apology, nor may this
in any manner be assumed 10 be such.
Racing is the only medium through
which the comparative values of different
strains of blood are ascertained.
"The opponents Of racing in the En-
pire State have tried for "a long time 10
convince the farming and agricultural
communities that in accepting the 8 per
cent. tax on the revenues Of the racing
associations they became parties to an
immoral compact Nothing could be far
ther from the truth The S2i6 000 which
has been paid in for distribution In 1903
came. as did the appropriations in for
meT years from the gate receipts paid by
the leisuTe-loying patrons Of clean sport,
and from the restaurant and programme
privileges.
There can be no controversy whatever
as 10 the attitude Of the Jockey Club
toward betting or even wagering in the
individual form, 1t frowus upon it In
the one instance, and it antagonizes il
IN the general form. 1t has set its face
resolutely against any alliance with any
speculation which may be incidental 10
racing, and il has taken effective steps
toward the repression Of any wagering
which may even by reflection be at
Tibuted 10 the presence Of racing"
The Jockey Club contends that the pres
eHt racing law is constitutional and says
the matter of breeding horses is a vital
matter, involving the expenditure Of

a dozen years ago was disclosed in LET
ters written by Charles Comiskey TO
