Track and Street.
From the New York World.


Professional horse racing ends in New
York on the lastsday of August. Betting
of every description Is unlawful. At
tempts have been made, 1t appears, to
carry on the sport without gambling, but
the attendance has been small and the
losses great 1t is admitted on all sides
that the diversions Of the track as such
appeal to few. This was the argument
advanced by those who were most active
in their opposition to pool-selling. A
who would like to extend the movement
cover many Of the operations In Wall
pointed in every way and presenting first
class horses as attractions becomes un-
profitable as soon as betting is prohibited.
The attendance Is small. Interest is
languid. Under such conditions Belmont
Park itself is to be turned into field
for aviation. What would be the effect
upon the Wall street district II all trans
actions in that quarter were legitimate?
Would there be fewer monumental banks
and luxurious offices? Would the stock
exchange itself be found too elaborate?
Yet in Wall street there are conveniences
for gambling which no race track ever
had. 1t Is accessible. No admission fee
Is charged. 1t has agents and runners
everywhere. Horse racing was sum-
mer sport. Wall street has all seasons
for Its own. The turf did not appeal
specially to the young. Wall street adj
dresses itself to all ages and all purses.

JOYS Of Wisdom.

We've got an education camp at Pohick-
on-the-Crick.
It's out among the rustlin' leaves SO
green an cool an thick.
We put a platform up an seats, where,
If you're SO inclined,
You make up for lost schoolin' days, i'm
provin' of your mind
used to think that study was an occu-
patton dry.
But live an learn. 1 rely wonder at the
folks who try
To get way off in hiding when there's
knowledge to be won.
This gettin' education can be made a
heap q fun.
We have the best professors waitin' at
our beck an call.
Some has short hair an some has long
an some has none at all.
There's a quartet that sings with sweet
ness, elegance an force,
Although the movin pictures is the best
things In the course.
The man with limitations is most wonder
full to hear,
An that there Teller who recites is conf
cal an queer;
An now an then lecturer talks bout
bodies polite
l tell you, cultures goin' some at Po-
hick-on-the-Crick!

Texas and Temperance.

The second stage Of the temperance
issue in Texas is now taking shape.
Having failed to defeat the proposition
to submit to the people an amendment
to the constitution In favor Of statewide
prohibition. the anti-prohibitionists will
now address themselves to an effort
to defeat the amendment
This second campaign should be even
more exciting than the first. A great
deal Of feeling exists, with a likelihood
Of increasing. Matters have taken on
the aspect they have worn In other
states. What may be called a domes-
tic wave has been set rolling. Women
are as active as men, and are the in
SEPARATION of much Of the activity OF
the men. The question with them is
the welfare OF the home, and naturally
they go all lengths to promote that.
In such campaign extremes meet.
Both sides are at fever heat. The vo-
cabulary Of superlatiyes is exhausted
High lights are the rule. Say the pro-
hibitionists: I'm handling q curse the
only safe way is to kill it. The liquor
traffic cannot be regulated by law. II
tolerated, it invariably violates the
terms imposed. 1t is a corrupter of
men and officials. and it mocks the law.
Prohibit it, and furnish all who. in
defiance, openly or secretly, Of the pro-
hibition, carry on the traffic"
Answer the nti-prohibitionists
prohibition never prohibits. 1t is
worse than useless legislation. 1t in
cites to deceit and falsehood on the
part OF both sellers and buyers of
liquors. But even If such a law could
be enforced it would be wrong to enact
it. For IL the state may say what you
may drink, it may also say what you
may eat, or wear. or how spend your
leisure time. Prohibition respecting
the liquor traffic carries with 1t conces.
sions dangerous to society. The spirit
is that of fanaticism. and fanaticism Is
repulsive to and destructive OF the
spirit Of free government"
Here, 1t Is easily seen. is q text
which in the treatment Of fervid
orators is capable Of producing the
most exciting effects. We have seen
such effects produced elsewhere, and
We shall see them produced in Texas.
The arena is an empire. The popula-
ton is full Of battle. Politics disap-
pears. There is but one party in
Texas. and hence the question must be
settled within the ranks Of that. When
this second campaign opens q record
for strenousness may be made throw
ing into the shade what has already
taken place in Tennessee, Alabama,
Georgia and elsewhere.

The 1afshAll Boom.

The Harmon presidential boom over
shadows the Marshall boom. They are
next-door neighbors, but the advantage is
with the Harmon boom In the way of
newspaper notice as the result Of the fact
that Gov Harmon is in the field this year
for reelection. In Indiana the governor
ship is not in the scale.
But there IL q Marshall boom, modest as
1t appears. and scant as is the attention
1t is now attracting. The boomer does

national leadership. but admits that II

DAYTONA AUTO RACE
HAS EARLY ENTRIES

From the standpoint of early entries.
the 1910 DaytOna Beach speed carnival
scheduled for March %, % and oath, is
far ahead of any previous year in the
history of beach racing. Although the
official entry blanks were issued only
a week ago, the following stock cars
have been entered for the stock and
handicap events: Buick, Chalmers al,
Chalmers 80. Two Cadillacs. Pope
Hartford, Stearns, Knox, Benz, Pack
ard and Peerless.
In the free fOr.all events. Barney
Oldfeld and his 200 Eorse-p power Benz,
Ben Kerscher with the Vanderbilt Cup
winning Durracq, David B'uce Brown
and the l20 horsepower Benz, and Il.
M. Bonds Stearns are the entries up
to date. In addition, the racing COM
mttee has received many applications
for entry blanks from noted racing
drivers and factories.
Walter Christie, the noted front drive
inventor, is in communication with
Secretary Fitzgerald of the club, and
the indications are that he will enter
his latest racing car in the free for all
races.
Barney Oldfeld is in Daytona ready
for practice with his 200 horsepower
Hemmery Benz which he expects to
drive a mile in about rs seconds, or at
least fast enough to break the present
record of % is. Oldfeld figures on
exercising much caution in speeding the
car on the beach until he has chance
to study all conditions. The champion
motor car pilot has seen many great
cars wrecked or broken up before
race or record trial and he is determin-
ed TO take no chances on not beng able
to 90 to the starting line in record
breaking form.
In all probability new world records
will be made at DaytOna next week.
