Two years ago, when Oscar Ham merstein proposed a second opera house for New York. the devotees of the Metropolitan held up their hands in horror The Metropolitan with them had come to have certain sort of sacred monopoly, lonesome splendor, in the musical world of Gotham. But Oscar Hammerstein persisted and he succeeded not so much by drawing the patrons If inc older operatic house under his own roof as by creating a field of his own. educating, in a way. a more vide spread love of the opera among New Workers To-day the genial Oscar is SD enthusiastic about his success that one may read in the papers al- most every dar of embryo opera tic houses being conceived and planned hy him for every city in the East.

THE RACE TRACK.

Whatever one may think of the race track, with it's betting enclosures, one can not but admire the pluck of Gov erner Hughes of New York in under taking to forbid by statute the gamb- ling end of it. It is an unusual sight to see a man whose name is conspicu- ously mentioned in connection with the Republican nomination for Presi- dent boldly defying that large class in the community which loves outdoor sports and the betting instinct which they inspire II Is more in keeping with the traditions of practical politics for a candidate for office to keep a civil tongue in his head upon all questions until after the nomination and election
 It is manifest that Governor Hughes is convinced that the race-track gamb- ling habit is a fearful source of demor- alization especially among a class of people which cannot stand the strain of a probable loss, Having set his in fluence against 1t he does not hesitate to make public, in his fight with hos tile legislature, the numerous letters from mothers and wives, who testify in them to the terrible effect of the race track on their sons and hus- bands No temperance reformer could paint in more stirring colors the con sequences of srong drink. He has in- cluded among these letters one from a professional gambler, in which the statement is made that the gambling end of horse racing is crooked and not in the fair interest of the man
 who ventures his savings. Governor
 Hughes is in fact carrying into the fight with the recalcitrant general as- sembly the impressive earnestness,
 enthusiasm and passion of the revival l ist.
 Opposed to him, in addition to those who have a personal interest in the
 continuance of gambling at the race
 track from different points of view, who constitute a mighty force to over- throw, are all those who in such mat ters move along the line of least re- sistance. While reluctantly admitting that the practice Is an evil they as- sert that human nature is human na- ture; that men are not made good by legislation that if blocked In one way they will seek an outlet in another. To all this, which is very effective as an argument before body itself very hu-
 man, Governor Hughes in effect re- turns the reply: Granted, but 1t Is not the business of government to recog- nze in terms of law weakness of human nature unless all weaknesses are to be treated with the same len iency Ii is not easy to see from a log icai point of view how this attitude
 of the governor is to be met unless gambling Is to be recognized as legiti-
 mate in it's various forms. The out come of the struggle for supremacy will be watched with interest

rublic Conscience and Law.

tThe Wall Street Journal)
 This process of putting what Gov ernor Folk calls the public consci ence" into law Is attended with the very gravest of danger. Who Is 1t that is to determine what is the public con science? There was 8 time when some people held that the public con science demanded the torture and death of people who entertained different re- ligious beliefs from their own. Are we to establish another kind of inquisition in this country for the punishment oi the people whose ideas concerning economic questions and personal habits differ from ours? Before we begin tc enact the public conscience into law let us be very certain that we know what the public conscience is and that the public conscience has been well in structed and is right.

TO TIE GENEROUS LAND.

One of the ways in which the cour- ageous and resourceful Salvation Army has tackled the problem of the unem- ployed" in London is by removing some of the unemployed to other parts of England's domain. wliere good land is waiting to be cultivated and to rich ly reward it's cuItivators. Eight hun- dred immigrants, personally conduct ed'' by the Salvation Army, landed at Halifax, Nova Scotia, the other day, and four more boatloads will follow this month.
 That is real relief To take thous- ands each year out of overpopulated London and help them to be self-sup- porting instead of dependent, as the Salvation Army is doing, is about the most truly charitable" work that can be done. Ii helps in many ways. Spring in this country is at hand, and we wish it might see veritable tex odus" from the cities to the country. The farmers want help, and they pay well for 1t. During the last few years there has been great scarcity of farm help. owing to the superior attrac- tions' of life in the city Those attrsc- tons don't look as superior as they have been alured by them to go back to the iand which has superior attrac- tions when rightly viewed One of it's superior attractions is that if will pro- duce good things to eat in abundance.
