The feature of the day was won in
impressive style by Sandiver, F. n.
Hayes three year-old colt. Horizon,
one of the best in the w. F. King

steady play on the eventual winner

CROWD WAS SMALL OPENING

CESS.
BY W. a. R.

while the opening of the fifteen
day race meeting at Kupfrian's park
track yesterday was not as suspicious
as il might have been and was not so
very gratifying to the management,
nevertheless it may be styled a sue
cess. In view OF the recent trials and
trfbulations through which the asso-
citation has gone, and the adj
verse comment toward the sport, the
crowd was a fair one. Friday is about
the poorest day ofthe week for the
sport here unless it Is converted into
ladies day, which viii be done be-
ginning next week. so the gathering
yesterday is not a criterion upon
which to base future calculations.
The card offered was an excellent
one and Afforded keen, clean, exciting
sport, and while witnessed by a rath-
er small sized gathering. was hugely
enjoyed by all The races for the
most part were decidedly true to form,
but fnasmuch as a horse is not a ma
chine and can not always run his
best race only half of the favorites
were successful, but the noticeable
part Of It was that all were trying
hard and each event was closely con-
tested from barrier 10 wire.
Play In the ring was light and in
consequence the bookmakers' sheets

ceedings. All the choices were liber-
ally backed In conformity with the
volume OF speculation and there was
little betting away from the favorites,
so, In consequence, the layers had to
dig deep when the choice romped
home a winner. The three which won
not played as choice carried consid-
cradle cash with them, the Cookies"
having little chance to recuperate from
their losses.
The day was ideal for the port. The
sun shone bright and warm and the
air was balmy. A good band discours-
ed more or less sweet strains during
the afternoon, making the day an en-
joyable one for the ladies as well as
the men. the only draw back to the
gala event being the paucity of spec

diver, first to break, had to stand a
hard drive IN the closing sixteenth to
stall off the determined rush of IHori
con. The latter, a appearing best, ran
a good race throughout, but the good
start which Sandiver received proved
too much of a handicap and an in
different ride was another contribu
tory cause to the defeat of the King
entry. The finish was a hummer, the
winner getting there with only a neck
to spare, which stirred up the en-
thusiasm of the assemblage to mark
ed degree.
In the fifth. off well in motion, Ben
Sand, after disposing Of Bright Maiden
in the first quarter, drew away in the
stretch to score a handy victory by a
length. Held at short odds of to 2,
the talent got down good on this one
and reaped a rich harvest. Stafford
was backed down from an opening
price of to close at 1-2 to 1, but
could do no better than get the place
Prominent throughout, Stafford held
on gamely in the closing drive, but
lost much ground on the last turn by
going wide and just got up in time
to save second place. Pleasing went
we'll and finished gamely, all but
catching, Bright Maiden at the wire
for the show.
The talent missed fire in the clos
ing number when they made Lode
stone a favorite. Opening at to 2,
the play on the choice was brisk and
soon forced the odds down to six to
five, where they remained at post
time. 1t was a misguided tip, for the
favorite never had chance, while
Melzar, off second to My Kitty, raced
the leader into submission in the first
quarter and won all by herself, lead
ing at every pole by a length. Floy
Battle ran a good race. The Hammond
entry held on gamely in the final six
teenth to easily take the place, two
lengths the best of Donation. The lat
ter was firing slightly toward the
end.
Track Gossip.
Starter Murray sent the fields away
In fine style. There were no long
drawn out delays at the post, three
minutes being the longest he kept the
ponies at the barrier at any one time.
Jockey Lee Jackson was responsible
for OBTAINING the field in one instance
and received a two-day set down for
his post disobedience.
The track is in fine condition, fast
er than ever, but is dusty in the ex-
treme. At times one could hardly see
the horses on the back stretch owing
to the clouds Of dust the thorough
breds kicked up. Sprinkling carts will
be on duty today, however, and
eliminate this nuisance
In the third race the also elistbles
got In. Four scratched, which allowed
Don Hamilton and Duncraggin to
move UP.

afternoon. A number Of real ones are

Pensions For Wives and Chill
drem of COmvictS?

THIS is a question which begins to come
under discussion. But, it seems to me, to
be wrong in principle To compel honest
people to support the families of criminals,
would certainly put handicap on the limo
cent.
A woman whose husband turns out to be a
law-breaker, and who is deprived of his labor,
is IN no worse a condition than is the woman
whose husband becomes habitual drunkard,
consumptive, or shut-in paralytic.
l think a great deal can be said however,
In favor of allowing the convict a certain
wage for his enforced labor, the money to be
paid over to his family as he earns it. This
would encourage the convict, whose eventual
reformation the State should always have in
view. To pay him something for his work,
would go far toward his redemption It would
convince him that the State wants to give
HIM square deal, and feels humane interest
In him and his family.
The thought that he is forever lost, must
often shut the door of hope to the criminal.
The pension system would have to be ex-
tended to those whose natural supporters
have been hanged, or electrocuted. In the
southern states, it would put horde Of negro
women and children on the payroll Bled as
they are already, it is quite appalling to con-
template what such burden would be to our
taxpayers.

expenses, to one in which it was bound to look
to It's Pensioners for support, and that they
were in the habit of deriving benefit from the
church and not contributing to it. It made
difficult situation for the Roman church,
at is not true that half of the population
of 100000 of the people not Roman
Catholics. There was at one time larger de-
lection, due to the so-caled Agilpav schism,
but it has not been maintained in number and
many are returning to the Roman Catholic
church, while others are going into Protestant
churches.
GOVERNOR IMPARTIAL.
"The present governor is Roman Catholic.
but he is one of the most careful men in main
tanning an impartial attitude between Cath
ollcs and Protestants that we could possibly
have. He does not forbid teachers to take an
interest IN Protestant Sunday School work
or to attend Protestant churches. ONLY by
law there IS enjoined upon the teachers the
non-teachlng of religious matters in public
schools.
''No money has been paid to the friars for
libraries that they claim to have been burned,
SO far as can recollect. The sum of money
paid was for rent and damage to converts or
rectories by United States soldiers.
Il do not think that Catholic dgnitaries in
the Catholic church should have greater con-
sderation from public official than anv
other regularly organized religious BODY. It
has happened that, by reason of the fact that
the Philippine government under Spain was
lneXtrlcably united with the Catholic church.
and that that union had to be severed. and
property and other interests had to be as
signed to the church. The settlement has been
brought about, and, in my Judgment, it is
fair and just to all parties.
DID JUSTICE TO CHURCH.
Il am not Catholic, and have not been
affiliated with the Catholic church. All Z
have attempted to do was to do Justice to
that church and to the Filipino people, I
have treated that church exactly as I would
have treated anv other church had it been in
similar position to that of the Catholic
church.
II may add, with respect to the frars'
lands, that the purchase was a political one
and agrarian one, rather than commercial
one. There were 10000 tenants on the frars'
lands who because of the confiscatorv measure
passed by the so-caIled Malolos Aguinaldo
convention refused to recognize the title Of
the friars. This title was as good a title as
there was in the Philippines, and it author
lied the frlarS to go into our courts when thew
were established and institute 10000 eviction
suits. This would have led to a second rev.
olution, and it was an absolute political ne
cesslty that we should buy the lands and then
attempt to dispose of them, as we are now do
ing, to the tenants on long and even terms of
purchase. Very sincerely, yours,
"WILLIAM H. TAFT"

The Philippine Islands,

| Asst September, the Rev Magnus Larsen,
a Swedish Baptist residing in St. Paul,
wrote to President Taft, inqriring about the
condition of the Romanists and the natives in
the Philippine Islands. On the 4th day of
October Mr.. Taft answered Rev Lnrsens
letter. AS the Presidents reply sufficiently in
dlcates the nature of the questions [ will omit
them.
TAFTs REPLY CATEGORICAL.
Judge Taft's answer follows:
"My Dear Sir: l have your letter of Septem-
Der 26. You ask me whether $7O0OOOO were
paid to the Catholic church out Of the United
States treasury on my recommendation. I re-
ply that it was not. The friars' agricultural
lands In the Philippines, $4,000 acres, or
about that amount, were purchased from the
corporation formed by the three orders of
friars in the Philippines and the money was
paid from bonds issued by the Philippine gov
eminent under the authority of Congress, and
is charge upon the Philippine Islands. The
purchase was approved by the Filipinos.
'The uprising in the Philippines was
against the Spanish government and the Span
ISL frlars, whom the government used po-
hcemen IN attempting to stamp out the sedi-
ton and political discussion among the Fill
ipinos
"In a speech in New York did not make
plea for the Roman Catholic church in the
Philippines except to say this: That the in
fuence of all the churches in the Philippines
was necessary for the uplifting of the people,
and, therefore, that every one would desire the
prosperity of all the churches, and as the
Roman Catholic church had the largest fol-
lowing every one, Protestants or Catholics,
would desire its prosperity; that it was in a
deplorable condition, due to the change in the
situation, in which the government paid its
