MINIsTERTUM ASKS LID FOR
RACE TRACK GAMBLING.
Petitions the Legislature to Change
Gambling Laws.

In its regular monthly meeting
the Abilene Ministerium took up a
communication from the Hutchinson
Ministerium and joined with It and
many others over the state in asking
the legislature to amend the gam
bling law to prohibit race track
gambling. The law as 1t now stands
is one of the strongest anti-gambling
laws in existence except that 1t has
an exception clause which leaves
the lid ajar. It Is the idea Of the
Ministerium that This exception
clause should be striken out of the
law.
The law provides a fine Of one
thousand dollars and imprisonment
of one year against anyone who
wagers a bet upon any race; but the
exception referred to makes the en-
tire law practically void. The OBJ
jective words are as follows:
Except within the enclosure Of
a race track, and upon races or
trials Of speed being conducted with
in said inclosure, provided that the
exception herein shall not apply to
any race track or inclosure for more
than two weeks in any one year"
(Gen: st. OF Kansas, 1909, Ch. 81,
Sec. 2865.)

THE OWEN.GLASS BILL.

(From The New York Globe)
The Owen-Glass currency bill, if
one may judge from the preliminary
draft, seems sound in principle and
worthy of support of all who want
currency and banking system that
will diminish instead of increase, the
likelihood, of panics.
The Owen-Glass bill, as nearly as
can be made out is an un-Aldriched
Aldrich bill-that is to say, it is the
Aldrich bill with the curse of a name
disagreeable to many removed.
That those who raved against the
Aldrich bill as an invention of the
Wicked One now support something
quite like it does not indicate that the
Money Power has captured them
1t merely shows again that intelligent
men, no matter what their prejudices,
reach common conclusion with to
the currency question, if once they
can be induced honestly to consider
