In days Of old-say thirty-five or forty
years ago-when knights were bold and
barons of the running turf held their
sway, Ed. Corrigan and John Madden
were travelling the same hard and dusty
pike to fortune that others before them
and since have trod. They followed the
trotter in those days of antiquity. and
two shrewder men never wrapped a band
age or planned a campaign into the
enemy's country. Corrigan went over to
the runners early, and was making mon
ey at his Chicago, track when Madden
was still piker. Finally ne fell victim
TO his greed. and to the vengeance of
the law, and he who could have once
boasted that he belonged to the million
aire class died a pauper.

Some twenty-five years ago racing was
a favorite amusement with the residents
Of Chicago. Some of the best running
and trotting meetings held in the West
were held in the Windy City. Finally, the
decent citizens Of the town tired Of the
strangle-hold Ed. Corrigan held on the
racing game, and good night" was sig
nailed to the sport of kings. And yet,
when one came to know Corrigan real
well. he did not appear to be worse than
some of those who bitterly condemned
him. He was doing what John d. Rookie
feller and his copartners were doing with
Standard oil at that period, and no worse
than Carnegie and those who were CO.
operating with him were doing to secure
and maintain a strangle-hoId on the steel
industry.

Two important projects are now DOM
mating the attention Of local horsemen-
the speedway and the local trottlns
Both projects are feasible aid import
ant. IL washington's place on the horse
map is to be maintained. We are on the
way to get the speedway, but, aside from
making the proper application for H.
there is further work to do. Governments
are not run on wind or promises. Money
must be had, and Congress holds the
purse strings.
Congress annually sets aside certain
sums for park improvements. The sums
so set aside are not uniform No depart
lnent Of the government gets more than
il asks for, and very rarely indeed does 1t
get as much as il needs. Members OF the
Committee on Appropriations. in both
House and Senate. will very soon have to
be consulted as to a certain sum for park
improvements without which no speed
way can be expected 10 materialize for
some time to come. This Is matter 10
be taken up and brought to a decision al
the next meeting of those Interested in q
driveway for light vehicles.
Fortunately for the horsemen of the
District of Columbia, Col. Harts; Superin-
tendent Of Public Buildings and Grounds,
his power He recognizes the necessity
Of some spot easily to be reached. where
owners of horses can drive with safety
and comfort. Conditions have so changed
within the past three years that some
such place must be had, or those who
drive for pleasure must dispose of their
horses. Scores of weIl-bred light harness
horses are still owned in the District, and
scores will be added to the number If a
permanent driveway of soft dirt becomes
in the near future an accomplished fact.
In less than two weeks the-two, three
and four year old stakes will be opened
for entries. The first week in January
meeting will be called to decide upon con-
ditions, and the usual preliminaries ct
tached to such events. Colt stakes have
become a fixed institution in these parts,
and each year they have grown in popu-
larity. Only men of nerve and enterprise
engage in colt stake racing. They are
the kind of men who have kept racing
sport alive from the days Of Charles II.
They are the kind OF men who have made
the thoroughbred and the American trot-
ter possible. The world at large owes
them a debt IT can never repay. The
allied armies Of Europe are reinforcing
their depleted cavalry ranks with Ameri-
can trotting-bred horses. and they will
prove their worth.

BANKS AND PEOPLE
BY N. D. COCHRAN.

Yes, it does seem bit tough when
a fellow deposits money in bank
and wants to draw, some of it out, to
be sent to the president and made to
tell what he wants his own money for.
And it may make him sore if the
president refuses to let him have
some of his own money.
BUT-in times like we are now
passing through, many of us will have
to make some sacrifices for the bene-
fit of all.
People get panicky and want to
draw their money out of the banks
and hoard it. That forces the banks
to call loans, which means trouble for
borrowers perhaps great fnan-
cial loss.
No bank can pay all of its deposit
ors on demand. 1t loans about Is
per cent of its deposits on time or de-
mand notes. In ordinary times no
trouble results, and it is good banking
business. 1t helps everybody by keep
ing money in circulation.
When depositors get scared, how
ever, and rush to draw out their
money it scares still others and dis
turbs the entire banking business.
That in turn upsets all business and
affects an entire community.
The right thing for depositors to
do is to draw out only what money
they actually need. They should CO.
operate with the bankers and help
them to keep this country on sound
business basis.
There is danger to nobody so long
as all work together and keep cool.
Uncle Sam has plenty of money and
more gold than any other nation on
earth. The European countries want
gold. They would like to get all of
our gold they can buy with its equiva-
lent. American bankers are working
with President Wilson to keep our
gold at home.
And they are working with the
