THE BUSINESS SIDE OF IT.

One Of the most exciting and entertaining of sports
is legitimate horse racing There is less brutality in it
than football and several other sports that receive the
endorsement of the moral element of society.
But horse racing with gambling the feature of its
support is unmitgaed evil and this paper stands for
its prohibition
We think that there is very little in the claim that
racing improves the BREED We have yet to
doing anything useful than hauling some
society dudes turnout and for speed in transportation
the horse long ago ouclassed by other things I'M
provemen of the horse for any very practical purpose
must be in the improvement of draught horses.
Another claim for the tracks is that busness-money
is brought to the state by the sport The opposite is
true Millions go out of legitimate business in this state
yearly through support of the tracks and the gamblers
by the people of the state But that's not where the shoe
pinches If the people want to pay big money for sport
they ought to have it.
When you to count the suicides, the embezze-
ments other crimes and the ruins of lives and homes due
to track gambling, of fairly liberal morals
must admit that, pure business proposition we'll
moral one the gambling is wholly evil and dis
honor to the commonwealth which puts up with it.
1t is custom in most cities not to permit circus
to show more than two three days continuously. The
idea is that these popular shows take too much of the
peoples ready cash out of town. thus affecting ordinary
trade Yet in this state, permit months of continuous
track gambling the investment in which finally goes
elsewhere to the loss of ordinary local business of mil
lions annually
We think that the endeavor to prohibit race track
gambling by law is matter in which citizens engaged in
legitimate business should particularly interest Them
selves 1t hits them in particular. They ground be-
tween the rescaly gamblers and their Unsuitable suckers
TO the immortality and to the wretched brought upon
fathers, mothers, wives and children by this gambling
must surely be added great loss to the merchant and
manufacturer. Wipe out the gambling matter of

cause Judge Showers store teeth

man has an excuse to mince
words while saying grace before
mince meat. He sampled the pies
pretty freely, wishing to weigh
their merits fully. Afterwards he
admitted the merits weighed about
two ton, and he had a pretty bad
night of it. The doctor told him
he had gastritis, and Judge Skoover
allowed there ought to be a law
against putting gastritis in pies.
Now the editor of the Scream is
figuring on getting up another con-
test in behalf of humanity for the
best antidote for pie. At that he

Lashed to a mast, two men were
hanging side by side. The eyes OF
each were glued to row of jagged
rocks against which the waves beat
themselves to a white foam. Be

line on which was rugged a life
buoy. Men in the boat were haul.

something white showed now and
then above the water. Back of the
boat could be caught glimpses of a
wild shore.
A wave, seemingly higher than
usual. bore down upon the ship,
hit it squarely, and, sweeping over
it, tore away the deck house.
One Of the men leaned over and
shouted in the others ear:
Good God, can't they work
faster!" he exclaimed.
For a moment they silently
watched the boat and the men
frantically hauling at the line. The
larger suddenly squared his
shoulders. .....
"They can't get us both off," he
said. 49,.
They looked each other in the
eyes.
Someone is waiting for me-" the
smaller said.
The others jaw set. 81 am to be

The smaller looked with al.

waves. "She said that life without

The ship quivered from end to
end as great wave dashed against
it. "One of us must stay" said the
larger man.
Nearer and nearer came the life
buoy. Il want to live" repeated
| the smaller.
$50 do l." said the other.
The life buoy bobbed through the
water, half way to the ship.
1t was as though a telepathic
communication passed between
them. At the same instant each
extended his watch. 1T is she, y
they said.
With crash big wave struck
the ship and swept over it. When
it had passed the men were stand.

clutching a watch in his hand.
