The liquor people were against
the election of the late Governor
Pattison, but he defied them and
was elected. The temperance

cast a solid vote for the thrice

that case his election would be

Washington Letter.
Washington, Mar. "a.

The Jockey Club of New York
and the sporting gentry all over
the country are very bitter ag.
ainst the "hypocrites'' who have
been so successfully legislating a.
gainst horse racing. The breed
ing of race horses in America has
been doubtless given a stagger-
ing blow-but what of it? The
race horse is the least useful of
the equine race. He is small, a
light weight carrier, "alI hot
sand and ginger, unfit for the
saddle, unless it is the saddle of
a light weight jockey, and is fit
for nothing hut gambling. If
crossed with a cold blooded horse
of good bone and size, a good
saddle or carriage horse may be
obtained, but there is no longer
any demand for the thorough
bred race horse in peace or in
war. The telephone or wireless
telegraph with the motor cycle
or the automobile will call and
bring the doctor much quicker
than the swiftest race horse,
while for courier purposes in time
of war or in stress of battle, the
telephone and wireless telegraph,
to say nothing of flying machines,
have put the equine racer hors
de combat. Mr.. Belmont COM
plains that the "hypocrites" have
refused to recognize the great
good racing was accomplishing
for the improvement of the breed
of horses. It is only sporting
men of the Belmont character
that claim that racing does any
good for the improvement OF the
breed. It doubtless improves a
breed-but what kind of a breed?
Horses doubtless will long be used
for the saddle, for draft on the
roads and on farms, or for pleas
ure, but it is astonishing to see
the extent to which motor vehl-
cles have in a very short time ta-
ken the place of horses. Mr..
Belmont has announced that ne
will ship to Great Britain four OF
his best two-year-old colts. WE'LL
let them go with their jockeys
and their black-leg encourage.

Obituary.

Harry ]. Hahn, son of Simo
and Anna Hahn, was born a
Westminster, Maryland, May s
1873. After a stay of thirtysev
en- years, ten months and tel
days, at noon March Is, 1911
was summoned to the world be
yond. Harry was about one yea
old, when his parents emigrateC
to Ohio and located in Franklin
Twp, Darke Co., where he spenr
his boyhood days, and where he
was united in marriage to Miss
Bertha Seman. December 5, 1896,
spending nearly fifteen years Of
married life happily together.
After about five years of mar.
ried life, he and his family, NOV.
ed to Colorado, thinking to bet.
ter their condition in life. Being
disappointed in this, he moved
back to Greenville, O., where he
engaged with the Banner Lum-
ber Co. for some time, first as a
helper and later as manager. He
then went south and engaged
with the Big Stick Lumber Co.,
being it's vice president. While
working at the Big Stick lumber
mill, near Montieth, he and a
colored helper, were manipulat-
ing a large lathe, with which
they were turning out columns.
The tackles had been fastened to
the log and it was being hoisted
into position, when Harry placed
his shoulder under one end of the
stick, to guide it into the lathe
and said to his assistant, Don't
that help some?" These were
his last words, The next minute
he slipped and fell forward.
The stick not being supported
fell heavily on his head. Mr..
Rogers, and other workmen,
rushed to his side but found him
dead.
About four years ago, Harry
and his wife were converted and
united with the U. B. church of
Greenville. This experience in
and with Christ, he retained to
the end of his earthly life. He
was very kind and affectionate to
his wife and children and his
friendship was highly admired
by all who knew him. He leaves
to mourn his departure, a wife,
three daughters, two sons, a ia
ther, mother, four brothers, two
sisters and many other friends.
Funeral services were held at
the Abbottsville church, March
10, 1911, by Rev. H. F. Beck of
Beech Grove and Rev. S. Lam
bert of Greenville. Interment
in the Abbottsyille cemetery.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is still;
A sad and vacant place is made,
Which can never more be filled.
The depth of sorrow, tongue can no
tell,
At the loss of father we loved SO
we'll;
And while he rests in peaceful sleep
His sacred memory we will alway
keep. aS
The family of the deceased ant
his relatives, wish most sincerely

dClllC Is 6SSSuLldl W IiiS SOIil'
mercial existence of Japan, anC
that in order to maintain this
supremacy Japan must have the
control of Guam and Hawaii as
coaling stations and bases of sup
ply. But can Japan control the
Pacific? Will not England, Ger
many, France, Russia and other
European powers have something
to say with reference to the con-
troll of the Pacific? Great Brit
ain is easily five times as power
full on the sea as Japan, and yet
she does not pretend to control
the Atlantic or even the Mediter-
ranean, of which she holds both
the gates, Suez and Gibralter.
The Mediterranean is an open
sea. Japan cannot control the
Pacific. 1t is doubtful if she
could control the inland sea of
Japan, to say nothing of the
Yellow Sea, the sea of China,
and other contiguous waters.
The Pacific is by odds the big
gest of oceans, and no nation or
nations can control it. The same
writer argues that the United
States has only twentythree war
ships in the Pacific, while Japan
has 125. He is mistaken, Japan
has 125 thousand, but they are
mostly san pans, a kind of fish
ing boat carrying two or three
persons with a tail oar. The Jap
anese will have and ought to have
much to do with the navigation
of the Pacific, for they are un-
excelled as sailors and can con-
duct a carrying trade at less than
half the cost of any American or
European country; but the talk
Of any one nation controlling the
Pacific is as extravagant as it
would be to talk of controlling
the other.

option law in municipalities by
vote of the people, he based his
action on the principle of home
rule. It was pictured as a hard
fate for the municipalities to be
governed in the matter of selling
intoxicants by the will of the
country people. To remedy this
monstrous injustice he insisted
on the home rule idea of every
municipality governing itself.
Home rule was the cry.
Many sympathized with the
Senator's plea, but the bill failed
in the House by a few votes.
And there the matter ended? 1t
ended there as to the home rule
\ feature. Senator Dean is still
Militant, but he has given up the
nome rule pretext. His new bill
is simply an effort to enlarge the
lawful sale of intoxicants in cit
les of five thousand or more that
are in dry counties. There is no
home rule principle in that. A
city of five thousand can have a
vote on the question of wet or
dry, but a municipality of less
than five thousand is left under
the control of the farmers sur
rounding it. Where is the JUS
tice of that? Why should not
the smaller towns and villages
have the blessings of home rule
as well as the cities of larger
4 population? There is no reason
in it.
Senator Deans new bill ought
to have for it's title, "A bill to
enlarge the lawful sale of intox-
icants in dry counties" Why
did Dean fail to give his bill the
right title? Go to, friends, to
give his bill the right name
would kill it instantly. It would
not have the ghost of a chance
in the legislature. And in the
state at large it would be treated
as too contemplate for any use.
Dean knew all this and hence
he gave his bill a more euphoni-
GUS name, but really more de-
ceptive one. And yet nobody is
deceived. It is perfectly plain
that Dean is trying to do some
thing to conciliate the Liberty
League friends. The Democrats
in the legislature would gladly
do something for the liquor in
terests, but they dare not go too
far, because the temperance peo-
pie are quite numerous, even in
the Democratic party.
The Yount bill failed in the
Democratic Senate because it was
plainly seen that its purport was
to help the liquor interests in
dry counties. The sentiment is
growing in favor Of limiting the
sale of intoxicants. One of these
days we shall see the Democratic
party fighting for supremacy
with anti-saloon principles for a
paramount issue. Why not?
Stranger things have happened.
