where there has been produced one race horse there have been one hundred thoroughbreds fitted for general use. The occasional track winner turned out by a stock farm vas the prize that made the profit for the establishment. All the rest of the horses produced were merely incidental, and sold for but little more than the cost of breeding and raising. Take away the market for the race horse and the markets for all other thorough bred horses suffers.
 In the anti.racing legislation there is evident another case where minority has forced its views upon the statute book, to the detriment of the army and all those who use horses of the des. cription there required. Regard less of consequences a small mi nority organizes to suppress palpa- ble evils by legislation to uproot them, at the same time uprooting other things which the country can iii afford to lose. or gives root to other evils worse than those re- termed.

MINORITY RULE.

Few realize how greatly legisla- ton is influenced, frequently to the damage of the country or of great interests therein, through the per sistent activity of very small but well organized minorities working on the fears of congressman and legislators, who follow the dicta- ton of the organized force, al- though their judgment, and all the testimony of experience demons. trates that the legislation proposed will not work the best results. Between the two great parties the minority organization standing for the seemingly necessary but actually questionable legislation, holds or can control the balance of power in many close congressional and legislative districts :. where the great mass of the voters are indif- ferent to the issues involved. Un- less the representative votes as they demand he is unseated at the next election.
 The army has been peculiarly sufferer from such legislation, in- Auenced for adoption in that way. The abolition of the canteen is a case in point. By Act of Congress the canteen was done away with in the'face of protests from alb the highest officers in the army whose practical experience had shown them that as a feature of army life it was decidedly beneficial, in that it provided the soldiers with safe and clean place of recreation and kept them away from the doggeries and deadfalls outside, which spring up always in the vicinity of military post. In vain did officers plead that assertions had decreased and that the standard and morale of the rank and file had advanced after establishment of the canteen: The Women's

SONOl unuOue III tuO III uOl DuoiuCcc, and 'the pollution of the military posts by barroons," and congress- men who dared not face an election with that element arrayed against them voted as the Temperance Union intemperately demanded.
 Since abolition of the canteen officer after officer has testified publicly to the harm done the army by abolition of the canteen. Instead of passing idle time within the post, at the canteen, subject to regulation and restriction in the use of intoxicants, the men seek the deadfalIs and groggeries out side, where they have no restraint and the influence and interest of the environment Is that they drink to excess. As a result drunk enness and vice in the army have increased, assertions are more frequent, and the standard and morale of the army are diminished. In vain do all the general officers plead for restoration of the canteen. The Women's Christian Temper ance Union says NO" and no Congressman dares introduces a bill providing for it's restoration. The entire weight of the great temperance organization through out the United States would be against him and would defeat his reelection. Yet the Women's Christian Temperance Union re- presents the active demand upon that issue of but minority of the voters. The rest care neither one way nor the other, and will not take up the issue but vote for their party candidate regardless. But the votes of those who do take it up thrown one way or the other, can elect or defeat almost any congressman. So they have forced injurious legislation and prevent its repeal. That is rule by a minority.
 Now it is testified by prominent officers that the number of horses fit and available for cavalry and artillery service is diminishing and their standard falling off since suppression of race tracks and elimination racing in many of the states. Not only are great racing stables broken up and their horses shipped out of the country, but the great stock farms where are bred racers, are going out of busi- ness, their studs broken up and raising of thoroughbreds is passing. In hitting at race track gambling by making illegal racing legislation has struck blow at the business of supplying good mounts for the army-and in other fields where thoroughbreds are demanded; for

BERLIN, June S.-That Europe has
passed through the two first months OF
spring without any catastrophe of any
kind in the diplomatic field, must not
be taken to mean that the sky is now

the contrary, ominous rumblings are
heard evex~where and no one dares
prophesy that 1912 Will end In peace.
During the last few weeks events
have happened which have puzzled the

events which seem to predict the immi-

cate balancing of old Europe, Our poor
