IT'S FOOLISH ECONOMY

a dozen millions, is liberal in his
business and is contributor to a
hundred philanthropies and public
movements. Yet he continues to
practice some OF the economies which
were necessary in his early years. He
lives in palace surrounded by serv-
ants, and his dinners are famous; yet
he limits the cost of his lunches to Is
cents. Is he foolish? No The Is
cent economy holds him hack. en-
ables him to maintain his balance.
Another friend of m,re. with

a slow train in preference to paying
excess fare on limited. His time is
worth a hundred dollars an hour;
but he is willing to sacrifice dollars
in order TO continue the principle of
the practice OF economy.
Still another friend of mine prides
himself on two economies; the cost
OF telephoning and the purchase OF
fresh eggs. He will wait an hour,

they have discussed this so-called
false economy in niost serious way.
While they admit that it is foolish
in the abstract. they believe that do

mics would result TO their detriment.
No man is perfectly balanced. No
great accomplished is completely
sane. He has his outs" as we'll as

world by following self-established
methods and principles. To depart
entirely from the road of his youth,
which landed him in the land of
profit, would carry him too far away
from the main track of accomplish
ment, and endanger his prosperity.
Economy is basic principle.

DARTS and SPARKS
BY ANDREW p. o,CoNoR.

The spring 1914 meeting Of the Mary
land Jockey Club will open on May 6
and continue until May 9, Sundays ex-
cepted.
Racing in Maryland owes its existence
TO the Maryland Jockey Club for the rea-
son that its officers have always been
composed Of gentlemen Of the highest
class, whose aim has always been to pro-
tect its patrons by the enactment and
enforcement of rules and regulations
based upon fairness and wisdom.
Several weeks ago The Herald called
attention to the abuse of selling races.
which compose about 20 per cent Of the
scheduled races The abuses complained
Of consisted OF the entering Of stake
horses by wealthy owners, in selling
races. thus depriving the turfman OF
moderate means OF the only purses for
which his horses were able TO compete.
The article was widely copied and COM
mented upon by racing men throughout
this country.
1t is pleasing to note the following
statement issued by the Maryland Jockey
Club:
while handicappers are only human.
and therefore liable TO error, nevertheless
orally, no conditions can be framed,
which will bring horses together upon
fairer terms than those Of a handicap
conscientiously made.
Acting upon the belief. the Maryland
Jockey Club has. so far as possible.
eliminated from its books those forms OF
selling race which have given opportunity
for some persons. by reason of their
greater wealth, influence, or other ad-
vantage. TO successfully violate the cor
rect principles governing such races: and
in lieu thereof. offers its patrons a variety
of Free Selling Handicaps," which it is
hoped will afford equality OF opportunity
to all. and special advantages to none"
Up to Owners.
This rule leaves the entering OF horses
entirely with the owners and IL the
handicapping is right and proper. II will
go long way towards eliminating one OF
the worst features of racing.
The Maryland Jockey Club. through the
introduction of the Pari-Mutuel system
of betting. has demonstrated the fact
that a continuation OF the racing of
thOroughoreds does not depend upon the
bookmaker. As a money maker for rae
ing associations. the bookrlaker occupied
an important position in the old days.
but, after years of experience. II was
discovered that. instead of being a bene-
fit to real sport, the bookmaker was
the original source of all the trouble
which has been heaped upon racing as
sociations generally, but which the Mary
land Jockey Club has always escaped,
for the reason that It has never been
operated for the purpose Of making
money. but purely in the interest Of
sport. and as such It has always enjoyed
the confidence and respect of even those
who are the avowed enemies of racing
There is no business institution in the
world whose officers stand higher than
do the officers Of the Maryland Jockey
