First Fruits OF Democratic
Policy In The Philippines
(Trom the Now York Tribune)

volt The policy which Mr.. Harrison
has pursued at President Wilson's
direction is perfectly calculated to
awaken every childish grievance and
stir to imprdent defiance Tho Ameri-
can people have ceased to be a vig-
orous and keen-eyed parent; we have
become, in Filipino eyes. blind and
indulgcnt. anxious only to abandon
our responsibilities and urn our
charges adrift with few kind words.
The passage Of the Jones bill through
the House and its progress in the
Senate are Just so many signs TO
patriots of the Ricarte school that
America can and should be nouted.
The significance of these upris-
ings TO Congress will scarcely be
overlooked. The more the admins

MARYLAND'S DISGRACE.

MARYLAND'S DISGRACE.
From the Elkton Whlg,
The annual statement, recently
made public by the Maryland Jockey
Club. indicates that not less than
$3.50 10000 was bet on the races at
/ Pimlicc this year. The tracks at
Bowie Laurel and Havre de Grace,
where meets" we're also held. have
not made any statement to the pub
lie In other words Maryland has
four race-track gambling associ-
ations. What is laid IN bets on these
tracks, in the course of single
year, the public will never know
but it must be an enormous sum
when tho report of one out of four
track shows that two and three
quarter millions of dollars we're bet
at that point alone
In other words, Maryland licenses
what every other State in the Union
but three has prohibited set of
public. officially endorsed gambling
! Joints where millions Eve speak
now with accuracy OF dollars arc
won and lost In betting. BY whom ?
Let Mr.. Clyde. President of the Mary
land Jockey Club. answcr-"by weak
lings and fools" These are Mr..
/ Clyde's own words In reply to a
question by Senator Williams, before
a Senate Committee last winter. Mr..
/ Clyde said: 81 have owned and raced
running horses for many years; but
! never laid a bet on a horse I'm my
life; leave that TO 'weaklings and
FOOLS" In other words. Mr.. Clyde's
Jockey Club. and Havre de Grace,
and the others. arc licensed joints
for hoccing "weaklings and fools"
/ That may suit the racing men, but
/ IL ought not TO suit a civilized social
organism like the State of Maryland.
The business OF the State Is TO pro-
itect the weak and foolish That Is
one of lis supreme purposes. That
is a great reason for the organiza-
ton Of society and an ear-mark Of
its civilization. We cannot therefore
understand the Indifference of the
people of this State to so vital an
issue. The Editor Of the Whig. as a
State Senator. fought this licensed
gambling business all through the
last Legislature and did not mind a
little bit the opposition of its sup
porters i'm the Senate, and out of It.
/ What did hurt. him, however. and
disgust him beyond measure. was
the lack of support from quarters
that ought to have given it vigorously
and in abundance.
We do not hesitate TO say that we
shall continue, SO long as VIC are in
public life or even a citizen of this
, state, to fight for all VIC are worth.
this nefariuus business, without any
regard to the effect of our attitude
may have on our political fortunes.
We do not hesitate to say further
that'we shall entertain little respect

PRAYER FOR THE CHURCH IN ITS

o Christ, Thy church IS planted in the
heart OF great and mighty cities where
Thy children dwell in mutitudes. The
need Of these citics taxes the power of
human organization and goes beyond
tho reach OF mawakened love.
Thy church has vast resources for the
healing of these multtudes, the awak-
ening of citizens, for Strengthening the
hands of those who would transform
their communities into cities of the liv-
ING God.
But we, the people of Thy church, are
not aroused. We content ourselves too
often with conventional and inadequate
service. We do not give ourselves with
passion to the movements of democracy.
We have not as vet opened our hearts
with generous love to our brothers from
other lands who have thronged to our
shores. The menace of disease. the
wrctchodncss of poverty, the anguish OF
Unemployment, the cry of neglected
children. the shame OF inefficient govern
mcnt trouble us, but we do not rcnd our
hearts
Arouse my people, - Lord cause
Thy trumpet to be sounded TO Thy
church Say TO her again, Lift up thy
voice Give rs vision. and strengthen
us that we may hearteu those who are
battling for the life Of the people. Send
MS into our communities as living forces
of faith and courage and cooperation.
Keep before MS the vision of redeemed
society in which Christ shall revea!
Himself in the devoted lives of His fol-
lowers. We ask it in His name. Amen.
