sition that it is to the interest of the race
track ownere and managers to encourage
betting. saying:
I'VE discovered that the opportunities
Ter gambling were among the attractions
which the managers Of the race course
relied upon to attract crowds to the
tracks. and we learn that very large
percentage of the gate receipts that con-
stitute the income Of these racing asso-
Citations is the result of the maintenance
of gambling on the race courses and OF
affording to the public generally the OPP
portunity to come to the tracks and gam
bic on the races IT was not hard, there
fore. In the light of these circumstances,
to discover the reason why the ofhclalS
of the race courses were inactive in their
efforts to enforce the law and to prevent
gambling upon the race courses. 1t was
quite clear that In proportion as gambling
was reduced on these race courses, just
ceipts and the profits of the racing asso-
Citations be reduced"
In every case where efforts have been
made to secure laws prohibitive of race
track betting the argument has been
raised in opposition that such enactments
were designed to discourage the breeding
of fine horses. The American people are
too sensible to be beguiled by this sophis-
try. They know as a matter of common
fact that with professional gambling
eliminated from the race tracks there
could be no profitable maintenance OF
such institutions. The issue therefore
comes squarely to the point of whether
the so-called sport Of horse racing Is
worthy Of encouragement at the tremen-
dous expense of the race track gambling
evil. The frank statement by the Kings
county grand jury places the case upon
it's right basis, and the indictments re-
turned against the track officials furnish
the surest possible test of the efficacy OF
the newly enacted laws. If these officials
can be held accountable by the law the
racing game. with all it's injurious results,
must be closed.

Race Tracks and Gambling.

notwithstanding the peremptory terms
of the new law against race track
gambling enacted by the state legisla-
ture of New York this spring. the race
meetings at the New York tracks this
summer have been conducted about as
usual with only a little less than the
normal amount OF betting. The laying
of wagers. it is true. has been upon a
somewhat different system than hereto
fore. bets being made orally without ap-
parent record. While probably the vol
ume of betting has been diminished some
what nevertheless the racing game has
been played almost as openly as ever
The police have made spasmodic at
tempts to enforce the laws, but there
has been no such administration Of the
new statute as to encourage the belief
that the reform has entirely succeeded.
In these circumstances the report Just
made to Gov. Hughes by the grand jury
of Kings county is of especial interest.
The jury indicted the Brighton Beach
Racing Association collectively and its
controlling director. its president and it's
superintendent of the betting ring indi-
vidually. charging them with conspiracy
to violate the anti-gambling laws
through connivance with certain "evil
disposed PERSONS who are by name &C.

Mad Motoring.

The crop Of motoring fatalities is UNI
usually large just at present A few days
ago two people were killed alta railroad
crossing On Long Island, this accident,
however, being attributable mainly to the
dangerous conditions at the crossing.
Next a young man was killed near Paris
by being pinned under a burning motor
after it had struck tree while travelling
at high speed. Yesterday, near New York.
a young man was killed when his car
struck q pole at a bridge crossing over
a railroad track, 1t being claimed by his
friends that the bridge was improperly
lighted, but it being also evident that
.he car was travelling at an excessive
rate Of speed at this dangerous point.
-inally, in Philadelphia; a touring car
coasting down hill toward railroad
crossing crashed at full speed through
the closed gates and was struck by a
train with such force that the three occu-
pants were instantly killed.
In at least two Of these cases excessive
speed was directly accountable for the
disaster. In the other two cases there
Is no evidence that the high speed was
primarily accountable for the accidents.
although probably If in each case the
AlCu 0I LILO WHICH, nuO"Ih6 dangerous
conditions to be near, had exercised prop
er caution. there would have been no acct
dents. One of the great elements Of dan
ger In motoring Is the tendency of chauf-
feurs to rely upon their capacity for
high speed In critical places to extricate
them from danger. The careful motorist
will always check his car at railroad
crossings to make sure that there is no
risk in going over the tracks. Just so at
short turns and In the neighborhood Of
treacherous stretches of road they will
assure themselves that the car is under
perfect control.
There is. Of course, no guarantee against
disaster when machine breaks in some
part. such as a tire or a gear or a rod,
but in that event such disaster results
only when the car is being excessively
speeded as In the case of the killing Of
young Sands near Paris. 1t is altogether
likely that in that instance the tire burst
because the car was suddenly sent for
ward at a tremendous rate of speed In
fact, an analysis of motoring accidents
leads to one plain conclusion, that the
desire for speed is accountable for almost
all Of the mishaps.

John Mitchell and Politics

John Mitchell, who today assumes the
duties of chairman Of the National Cigic
Federation, when asked in New York
yesterday If he would take an active
part in the presidential campaign replied
Withstanding all reports to the contrary.
In all probability these reports arose
because I was talked of as a candidate
for Governor of Illinois and for Vice
President. The holding of or being q
candidate for political offices never ap-
to the duties of my new position.
II am not talking politics, will not give
any opinions as to who is likely to be
elected. and want to avoid being put into
a position where 1t might be assumed /
was going to take part in the campaign,
which ! am not"
Mr.. Mitchells interest in organized
labor cannot be doubted. He is leader
who has led. His career has been one
of exceptional success. To no other man
in America does labor, organized or un-
organized. owe more. and to few SO
much. In big and little things alike his
advice has been good, and capital as
we'll as labor has profited by it.
All Of this is the result of keeping the
ends of labor always In view. Mr..
Mitchell mas pursued slngleneSS OF pur-
pose. He has not been part labor leader
and part politician. but labor leader only.
He has wanted labor to receive what
was legitimately coming to it, and has
known how to proceed In his activities
he has co-operated with leaders in both
political parties. and thus found friends
of labor in both parties. Assisting in
settling the anthracite coal strike we've
Mr.. Roosevelt. a republican. and Judge
Gray, a democrat. and rejoicing in what
was accomplished in that settlement were
the great mass Of the people without
regard to party.
Mr.. Mitchell therefore consults the best
interests of labor by continuing in the
course which has led to such excellent
things. Labor. in its large relations, still
occupies his time and thoughts. He has
no intention of becoming politician. He
Is not an aspirant for political Office. He
