EYES ON THE GOVERNOh.
National Leaders May Want Re-

on the issue of the people against the gamblers
Now that the bills have been passed, the consen-
sus of opinion among the Republican district lead
ers is that the Governor will follow up MS e&-
pressed intention of retiring from politics at the
end of the present year.

KENTUCKY WILL SUFFER.
Nezo Lazcs Erpected to Close Horse
Breeding Plants.

Louisville. June 11.-Kentucky will probably
suffer more through the passage of the race
track bills in New York than will New York
Many wealthy Fasteners own large farms
in the Blue Grass region and operate hundreds
of breeding establishments there Millions Of
dollars are invested in these plants, and small
army of men is employed. The thoroughbreds
raised on the places of these Eastern capital
lists are culled over each year and the best
of them retained and raced exclusively on the
tracks near the metropolis.
The operation of the new laws in New York
will probably mean the closing of these breed
ing establishments, the throwing out of en-
ployment of more than five thousand aborers
and the loss of many millions each year to the
Blue Grass region. In Fayette the smallest
of the Blue Grass counties, there arc more than
thirty-five hundred stations and brood mares

GRAY DOESN'T THINK RACING DEAD

Poughkeepse, N. Y, June 11--Ex-Assenblyman
a B. Gray one of the introducers Of the Percy
Gray law when asked tonight what he thought of
the passage of the Ag11ew- Hart bills, said:
"The result came as no surprise to me- I have
believed since the adjournment of the regular
session that the bills would be passed If Senator
Foeker would be able to get to the Senate. The
evils Of horse racing have been greatly exaggerated
to the Governor I don't think the entire horse
racing building has been torn down by these bills
they have merely removed one or two bay win
dows. The purpose of the bills will do real harm
the trotting races
Secretary H. N. Bain of the Hudson River Park
Association, said he believed the five days Grand
Circuit Meeting scheduled for Poughkeepsie next
August would be cut to two days. The early clos
ing contests will have to be run off and the meet
ing will end there. Mr. Balm. who is also interest
ed in the Dutchess County Agricultural Society,
said he would vote against holding the usual fair
this year. The Duchess County Fair is usually
attended by nearly a hundred thousand people.

1T is indeed a great victory, and, ths Gov
ernor has said. even large amounts of money
not stop public opinion. The passage Of the bills
will restore confidence in popular government, and
il shows that there still few people who are
not money mad.
But DO not believe that the fight is ended. be-

matter TO the courts. / satisfied that the death

John s. Shea, leader Of the 14th District who

racing bills did not mean that he would lose his
place.

EFFECT ON LONG ISLAND RAILROAD

Ralph n. Peters, president OF the Long Island
Railroad. when asked last night to what effect
the passage of the anti-racetrack gambling bills
would have the Long Island Railroad said:
II think that the Belmont and Sheepsnead Bay
racetracks will have racing for at least the re-
nainder Of the season because they attract the
fashionable classes to their courses, and the
support wealthy people give Belmont and Sleeps
head would insure their opening.
Nearly 10000 persons visited the six rac.tracks
in the metropolitan district last year, travelling
the Long Island Railroad. The fares we received
from those passengers netted $4,000. This year
expect that only one-half that number will travel
to the racetracks, but will be in a position to
give the suburbantes better service IL the race
track crowds thin out, and that will offset our
losses somewhat

Nature has provided the stomach

as the digestive juices, and it is
through these juices that the food
we eat is acted upon in such a way
as to produce the rich, red blood
that flows through the veins of our
body and thereby makes US strong,
healthy and robust and it is the
weakening Of these digestive juices
that destroys health. It is our own
fault If We destroy our own health,
