AN ILL-BRED COUNTRYMAN.

SENATOR WILLIAMS, of Cecil,
may be "short on" Senatorial courtesy
and county rights, but he seems Gong
on" public sentiment with regard to
that Havre de Grace race track. At
ter all, if the principle of "home rule,
for which some of US are such stick
ers, is to be violated by the outside
sports from Baltimore and elsewhere,
who have promoted the Havre de
Grace track in defiance of local senti-
ment, why should not Senator Will
liams butt in, too, in the interest of
good morals.-Baltimor Sun.

THE LACE TRACK ISSUE.

ALL this talk, about Senator Will
liams interfering with local matter
in introducing his Bill to abolish the
Havre de Grace Race Track, is simply
an effort to muddy the waters" to
confuse the issue. In the first place
that affair is in no sense local affair.
In the second place Senator Williams
put it up to Senator Archer, of Har-
ford, to introduce such Bill, before
doing so himself. In the third place,
the people of Cecil county are as much
affected by the Havre de Grace Race
Track as are the people of Hartford,
and as a representative of Cecil people,
Senator Williams was quite within
the proprieties in introducing his Bill.
Moreover, he was quite justified in in
Producing it without further waiting,
four weeks of the Legislatures life
being already gone. The time had
come for something to be doing, to
bring the subject to an issue. The
Williams Bill did THAT-without a
doubt. What happens when you pour
'bilin' water" into rat hole? Well,
race track Bills and race track in
fluences came scurrying to the sur
face all right, when word went out
that Bill was Sin" to abolish the
Race Track at Havre de Grace. The
issue is raised and it will be hard to
side step it. If one asks why the Will
Hams Bill strikes at the Havre de
Grace Track alone, instead of at the
whole business in this State, we make
answer that such criticism is very
natural by anyone not familiar with
the whole situation. Mr.. Williams
chose to start the fight as he did, pure
ly as matter of tactics. Moreover,
he was representing the great major
ity of his own Cecil constituents in
setting out to kill that thing lover the
river" To say eff the Havre de Grace
Track must go, let the rest go too"
we shall be glad to see the fight rails
ed all along the line. But will it sue
coed. Nobody can say. Certainly the
mace lIdck interests are not gong 10
let anything get by them. Senator
Hammond has introduced already in
the Senate, and Speaker Trippe is
about to introduce in the House, a
Bill providing that a certain percent
age of the receipts at the Race Tracks
shall go to the State for the building
of good roads. That, of course, is an
open bid Tor votes and popular sup
port. Realizing that the taxation for
State Roads is becoming great bur
den on our people, the Rrace Track in
terests plan to buy the peoples sup
port of their gambling game by this
road fund provision. In other words,
it is planned to make the State and its
taxpayers joint partners with the
Race Tracks in the gambling game
and to build State Roads out of "blood
money! Whose money is it that de-
corates the Race Track patrons with
diamonds? That pays their bills for
luxurious travelling and hotel accom-
modations. That enables them to rent
houses at eXorbitant figures and to
generally subsidize any community
into which they come? What money
is it?. Isn't it money for which many
suckers" have toiled hard and long?
Isn't it money which often is taken by
weak and tempted employees from
their employers funds, to the democrat

 The standard schools of osteopathy (those that are recognized by the American Osteopathicc Association) are located at Kirksville. Mo-, Bos-- ton, Philadelphia, Chicago, Kansas City,. Des Moines and Los Angeles. Each have a course of four years of eight months, with a faculty equal in every respect to the faculty of the best medical schools, and all sub jects taught in leading medical schools are taught in the standard schools of osteopathy, except meteria medica and medlca therapeutics These two subjects are replaced by two branches which are even more scientific and deep-Osteopathic ther- apeutics and mechanics and the Ba- sic Principles of Osteopathy. The medical student is given more work in pharmacy and various side-issue theoretical specialties, but the osteo- pathic student gets immeasurably more thorough practical training in anatomy-in the body itself. The best osteopathic physicians as a class are admitted to be the best practical anatomists in the world. That is why they are such safe and efficient "anatomical engineers" Adv.

Morley's view is that England should shudder at the horrible results of the facility of legislation exemplified by liberalization in the United States. Morley regards this as an aboriginal and internal threat to our institu- tions, and he would preserve En- gland from such plague of legisla- ton as ours. This is consideration more enduring than the exigencies of the Irish situation, whose acuteness surely needs some remedy. To adopt liberalization to placate Ireland is flu tile. unless it is to be carried through to the ultimate end. In that aspect liberalization is of importance en- titling it to be considered on it's mer- it's in principle, rather than as po- litical expedient. Thus far the Brit ish dominions or nations" have been kept in a state of inferiOrity, some thing like our counties, rather than sovereigntes, like our states, inde-- pendent within constitutional limita- tions. Morley had been informed that within four years congress had pass ed 10000 acts, and he wonders how we endure the litigation which re- suits from legislation by nearly fifty legislatures.
 Viscount Morley's remarks are moderation itself, considering the provocation. New York state inner ited the common law of England, but has passed 56,973 more laws. And New York is not the leader of legis- lation by any means. The addition of the output of laws by forty-eight Legislatures to the grist of congress, which so surprised Viscount Morley does indeed make a formidable total. Even Americans have been stagger- ed by it. But there are two reasons why they expect their institutions nevertheless to survive, let us say, as long as the unfederated British empire. One is that nobody is ex- pected to obey all those laws. The percentage of mortality among Amer ican laws explains the high vigor of American institutions. The disad- vantage of excessive litigation must be admitted, but it is offset by the ability to get things done. if they are really necessary things. The exces- sive output of laws by congress may be compared without disadvantage to the inability of parliament to legis- late at all. They have been ob- serving our federalism full century, and they have not yet understood it. The proof is that they are un- able to federate eveh the British Isles, not to mention the dominions overseas. The settlement of the IT, ish question on the principles of fed eralism would be purchased cheaply at the cost of even multitudinous laws, objectionable though they might be- The uuieting of Ireland would he only one benefit. The removal of the Irish legislation to Dublin would al low the United Kingdom to get some laws passed for itself. Honors are easy batween an exces,; of legislation and an inability to ee, necessary laws.-F'x.

LIBERALIZATION AND LEGISLA-
 TON.

Sir Edwadrd Grey's views regard ing the liberalization of England ac- quire added interest when contrasted with viscount Morley's. Both use the United States as an example, to be followed according to Grey, to be summed according to Morley. Grey argues that unless England is federA alized the country would go un- der through the sheer inability of parliament to transact its business.

A PUBLIC DEFENDER FOR SEAT
 TLE

While we are planning to improve the city government, why not give serious consideration to the proposl- tion to provide a Public Defender for Seattle?
 We are all beginning to realize that the administration of law is lop- sided arrangement, especially the ad- ministration of criminal law. We pro- vide Public Prosecutors to press charges against alleged laW-break- CTS, many of whom are poor persons, and we provide these prosecutors with plenty of assistants and amplee funds to conduct prosecutions.
 But we do not take the same care of the interests of 1mperiled defend ants at the bar of justice.
 We~let them do the best they can with the meager funds at their dis posal, in hiring lawyers, or, quite ire quently, when extreme poverty pre- vents them from getting counsel, we, through our judges, appoint lawyers, oft times young and inexperienced, on short notice, to act as defenders.
 This is injustice.
 It is directly antagonistic, in effect, to that axiom of the law which holds that all accused persons shall be con- sidered innocent until found guilty.
 We do not make proper provision to allow them to prove their innocence.
 We make a determined effort to find them guilty.
 Many a poor man has been convict ed and sent to prison in this country who would have rightfully escaped punishment or received lesser sen tence, if he had been provided with as good counsel by the community as was employed to prosecute him.
 We, the people, who create the courts and the system of justice, are really responsible for the failure to protect the poor man who stands ac- cused. without money to defend him. self, before judge and jury.
 With Public Defender, having just as much assistance as the Prosecuting Attorney and just as muchc money, the prisoner would have a fair chance, and only a fair chance, to prove his innocence if wrongly ac- cused.
 It seems hard to do exact justice in this old world.
 The whole tendency of mankind seems to be in the direction of try ing to punish and punish severely every infraction of the laws and to hunt for opportunities to find men guilty.
 A few hundred years ago our fore bears delighted in adding torture to imprisonment in dark cells.
 We have improved slightly, but still make our penitentaries and jail as cruel places of confinement as pos Sible, even though we are here and there letting in a little sunlight and discarding stripes and jute mills.
 As result of our activities in man hunting and convicting people, we now have over 60,O00 convicts in the United States-an army which is ever growing, instead of diminishing in numbers.
 But to get back home.
 With a Public Defender appointed in Seattle, we shall take long step towards fair administration of jus tice.
 Also we shall be doing something towards helping to check the grow ing sentiment that the courts are against the poor.
 Los Angeles county has recently appointed Public Defender and the results already are most satisfactory. The Defender and his assistants are ably taking care of the many cases against the poor, accused persons and with most excellent reSultS-Seattle
