Trouble for Thirty Years.

For thirty and more years there has
been trouble In racing circles. If the
different associations were not fight
ing among themselves they were at
odds with the governing bodies. The
reformer has always been awaiting the
opportunity to give racing kick when
no one was around. The continual
warfare, prompted both by reforners
and pool room gamblers who work with
them, has at last succeeded, combined
with greed and foolish management on
the part OF ONE Of the promoters.

Wiley. That is the kind of machina'
tions through which it has been sought
not only to destroy our national pure
food law, but to make it the instru'
ment for encompassing the destruction
of the State food acts.
A conspiracy able to command a
President to reverse the scientific de-
cision which properly constituted au-
thority reached in the "What is
whiskyH" case; powerful enough to
accomplish the overturn of all science
and practice, as was done in the ben
zoate case; heartless enough to sacri-
flee Wiley, and mendacious enough to
manipulate the very decisions of the
courts themselves for the protection
of petted special interests-that is the
conspiracy we have had at the De-
partment of Agriculture, multiplying
our laws and arrogating to itself the
authority to undo in secret the best
work of Congress.
What is to be done about it?

GOATS AND OTHER VIRGINIA
FAUNA.

The fauna of the Old Dominion il
always a subject of absorbing interest
When the citizen pride of Deacon
Hemphill begins to stir we find him
enumerating unicorns, harte beestes
and Thompson's gazelles as among the
common everyday animals of the farm
and fireside.
1t may be noted in passing that the
number of asses and burros who an.
swered "Adsum!" when the census OF
1910 was taken amounted to $l22 ,00G
in value, which was an increase OF
practically 1873 per cent during the pre-,
ceding decade. But even these CRAFTY.
ing figures send no such thrill to the
heart of the true Virginian as the
fact that the breed of goats is improv,
ing in kind and increasing in numbers
1t is true that, measured according Ia
the cold standard of dollars and cents
they are valued at only $2S,300. This
is a distinct advance over TIE $4,000
represented by the goat industry at
the beginning of the century. This, OF
course, includes the Deacon's goat
which nobody except the census takeI
has ever yet been able to get.
Moreover, this increase of lS2 pei
cent in the number of goats and kids
which have come into being in the Old
Dominion since 1900 is worthy of the
highest encomium. May we not ex.
pect the Deacon soon to give us one
of those prose poems OF his vindicatinl
the character of this maligned and
much misunderstood animal? What
would the mysteries of Masonry
amount to if it were not for the part
played in them by the capricious quad
ruped? Though June might cope
without the rose, spring would lack its
chief distinction without the lifesizC
portrait of Gambrinus, heralding that
heady brew, book beer.
But the Virginia goat, like every.
thing else Nirginian, has a pride OF
ancestry which would place even the
boasted Southdown mutton in the class
with the common herd. To belong tc
the First Goats of Virginia is dis
tinction which the yak and the llama
might envy. To go to a goats house
for wool would be no contradiction ir
terms in that favored State where a
diet of peanuts makes the coat as soft
and woody as that of the finest
Merino.
The subject is one which should en-,
gage the Deacon's pen. No other could
do it justice.

THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST,
THE FOOD LAW.

Conspiracy is an unpleasant thing to
charge, and a difficult one to prove
But the dayby day developments in
the Bureau of Chemistry investigation
seem to admit no other characteriza-
tion of the plot against DIR. Wiley.
The steps by which antiWiley SEN
timent developed into all the form, ac-
tivity, and method of avowed conspir-
acy, are now plain. In the beginnings
it would have served all purposes to
dismiss Wiley; but that was too bold.
So the position of associate chemist
was created and Dunlap appointed to
fill it, in confidence that he would ex-
ercise such acquiescent and com
plaisant scientific" judgment as would
make possible to "copper" the stern de-
crees of Wiley. McCabe was given the
casting vote, and the proposition
stood:

1t means that we would no longer

concerning the admission of Japanese
Immigrants, or their right to become
citizens of this country, or to hold lands,
or about numerous Other things arising
from the contact of nOn-aSsimilablc

LINCOLN WOULD HAVE
APPROVED A BRIDGE

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
AS 1 understand it. the idea is 10
erect a statue of President Lincoln as
a memorial. OF course that is a great
honor but where does it benefit? 1t
seems to me l have heard that the
original intention was to build, in
memory of this well beloved man, a
beautiful bridge across the Potomac,
to extend from a point near the
Monument to the lower gate of Arl-
ington Cemetery. Such bridge
would be of incalculable value to so
many and above all make unnecessary
the passing of army and navy fu-
nerals through crowded and unsightly
NJ street in Georgetown, besides cut
ting off miles of useless travel

here to decide the question, he would
say: "Of what benefit is a statue of
my homely self? The bridge by all
means, for the use of mankind, and

THANKSGIVING DAY
DISPUTE SETTLED
BY THE PRESIDENT
Will Be November 80, Nor
NAL Date-Proposed
Change Barred.

Just when President Taft was plan
ming his little flying trip 10 Beverly to
escape the heat for a day OF two, he
was called upon to consider the date on
which Thanksgiving will sall this year,
and his decision that the fifth Thursday
in November will be observed is Of in
terest to thousands of people through
out the United States.
OF course, everybody is interested IN
the turkey and cranberry side OF
Thanksgiving. but then, too. there are
folks to whom Thanksgiving represents
lot of real money.
Chief among these are the theatrical
managers. who count their Thanksgiv-
Ing matinee among the premier dates
on a circuit, 'and the report that Presl-
dent Taft would proclaim the fourth
Thursday in November Thanksgiving
gave them a lot of concern. This date,
rumor said, had been fixed at the re-
quest of the Bankers Association.
Theater Men Appeal.
Heretofore, theatrical managers, as
well as managers of football and other
athletic teams, have from long custom
figured in making out their bookings
that the last Thursday in November
would be observed.
So Gus Hill, director of the Producing
Managers Association. dropped a line
to the President few days ago. ask
ing him to settle the mucn-moOted
question. Mr.. Hill declared that a
change from November 80 TO November
% would mean in the theatrical world
a loss of from to 10 per cent of the
gross receipts of that day and night to
all travelling managers, and that such d
change would Involve the alteration OF
bookings throughout the entire coun-
try.
Pleas also came from the big colleges
whose final championship games. are
played on Thanksgiving. asking the
President to set the matter at rest.
Rather Hard on Bankers.
The whole trouble, It IS said, came
about because the holiday this year
normally falls on the fifth Thursday,
which is also the last day cf the month,
and makes 1t particularly hard for the
bankers of the country, as the last
three days of every month are the
busiest in banking circles, those days
being devoted to the preparation of
their monthly Treasury statement
AS soon as the President received
these requests, he acted upon them, and
has announced TO the theatrical man
ayers that they may make their book
ings as heretofore, for the last Thurs
day in November will be Thanksgiving
Day.

PLEASURE OF READING
AT THE SEASIDE

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
What charm there is in reading at
the seash0re at this season Of the year.
What can be more delightful, or give
a rarer pleasure?
Biography is one Of the most interest
ing and fascinating kinds Of literature.
1t is suitable for all classes, and for all
ages. Reading the lives of people is not
only mos; refreshing. but it also gives
one an actual view Of life, and broadens
and expands the sympathies, and gives
a larger outlook on the realities and
importance Of living.
Biography is so very human, and it
touches all the phases of life. hence its
value.
That priceless book Of books, the
Bible. Is studded all throughout, with
the biographies 0f persons, whose lives
are so faithfully portrayed. that it gives
the book an interest and fascination
surprising all others.
Astronomy. hynnOlogy, and books that
treat of places Throughout the wCrld,
are also of interest.

HOW TO OVERCOME
DELAYS OF THE LAW

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
How to overcome the delays of the
law, and yet preserve all the rights OF
the accused in the administration OF
criminal justice is a problem jurists
of this country will soon have tc face.
With hearings, examinations, demurr-
ers, changes of venue, trials, arguments.
and appeals it is almost possible for
person charged with crime to go un-
punished until the material witnesses
of the transaction are all dead and
buried.
One of the most serious subjects of
criticism of late has been the diSpoSl-
Iion of the higher courts to reverse
judgments or set aside verdicts on the
most fimsy technicalities. Omission OF
an unimportant word, in no way jeop-
ardizing the rights of the accused, has
ing an indictment, and setting abso-
lutely free the person accused OF serl-
Gus crime.

THE LONDON DOCK STRIKE
THREATENS A FAMINE.

American interest in the English
seamen's strike few weeks ago was
centered in the question as to whether
the big liners would be able to sail on
time. Once shown too weak to retard
the trans Atlantic mails, passengers
and valuable freight the big boats
carry, the strike seemed a fizzle. As
a matter of fact, it did have little
backbone. But while some of the men
were appeased and others returned to
work, many have kept up the fight,
and, seizing the auspicious moment for
making a few demands on their own
account, , numbers of stevedores,
lightermen, and other classes of long
shoreman labor have joined forces
with the dockers. The result is that
some $4,000 men upon whom England
is dependent for the handling of its
food supply are idle. g.
A few months ago English oppo-
nents of the Declaration of London
were drawing vivid word pictures of
the suffering by famine which a
blockade of the chief ports by a hostile
fleet would entail. The country now
stands face to face with a practical
illustration of their argument 1t is
England's habit to live from hand to
mouth. The customary stock of food
stuffs is, so small that were importa-
tions to cease the famine point would
be reached within. two months and
complete starvation within three
months. No crisis so serious as this,
of course, is now to be feared. But the
adjustment of food supply to rate of
consumption is so nice that even such
minor disturbance as the present
strike is causing great anxiety.

planning to demonstrate Washington
hospitality to the delegates to the con-

Florists in Baltimore, but they learned
this morning that the program of the
flower mems gathering has been COM
rleted, and no provision has been made
for a days visit here.
The Baltimore convention will open
next Tuesday morning, and probably
will last a week. The local florists had
gone so far as to charter a steamer for
a trip down the river and arrange for
automobiles for sightseeing tour.
other events also had been arranged.
The delegates probably will visit
Washington individually before or after
the convention, and no attempt at en-
tertafnment will be made.
