Sherwood Finishes Strong.

The spectators missed tho great squirt
of Sherwood in the last furlong by
watching the duel between the first two,
and the Hedrick thoroughbred flashed
under the wire good third, being about
three lengths back of Bradley. Spring
board blew up in the home stretch and
Horron did not seem to like the burden
Of 126 pounds, and ran a dull race
AS an added feature Hocnic ran away
Tor six furlongs going to the post In the
nrst race, which was at five furIongs.
Jockey Murphy was unseated in front
OF the clubhouse, and he escaped without
even shaking up. Hocnic ran to the
entrance of the home stretch, where he
turned and was caught.
Then to the amaZement Of ALL Jockey
Murphy brought him home first in a
field of fifteen starters. the horse simply
running all over his field in the last
sixteenth. Napa Nick set all the early
pace, but tired badly in the home stretch,
and was a length in front Of the old
campaigner Monty Fox. The distance
suited Monty, and he was a forward con-
tender from the break.

Come on, you Robert Bradley: nip him,

goers at the finish of the Hartford handi.
cap at Havre de Grace. The contest was
thriller, and patrons Of the opening
day did not know the result until
fathom's number was placed above
Bradley's on the post opposite the judges
stand.
Getting away from the five and a halt
furlong barrier, Springboard was first to
show, with Hughey Penny's Fathom in
commanding position. Rounding the
far turn the weight began to tell on the
Cassatt entry, and he gradually dropped
back from his forward position In the
meantime Robert Bradley was forcing a
fast pace. and entering the home stretch
he moved to the front with a rush.
However, in the last furlong McTaggar,
took Fathom to the outside and slowly
but surely Bradleys lead was being cut
down at every leap Within seventy
yards of the goal Fathoms speed seemed
to increase. or Bradley's might have de-
creased, but when the wire was reached
Fathom's nose was seen by the judges

THE FOLLY OF MILITARISM

1t has long been a fayorite argu-
ment, even axiom, with the advocates
OF great ornaments that they were
necessary to preserve international
peace and to prevent peaceable ma
ton from being attacked. Whenever
complaint arose in this country or in
the others at the mounting cost of
army and naval establishments, the
lnyariable and sufficient response
was that the cost was merely the
premium paid on policy which in
Sured the country against the far
greater cost and loss of war. 1t
would be quite as sensible to say that
a man who walks the street with
gun in his pocket is much less likely
to disturb the peace than is one who
follows him unarmed. But if this
argument that great military estab-
lishments are an insurance against
war were not self-evidently falla-
cious, the fallacy thereof is fully
demonstrated by the fact that all the
heavily armed and powerful states of
Europe now have their weapons
turned against each other. They are
the nations that of all others in the
world have the largest ornaments,
the biggest armies and the biggest
navies. Certainly, if there is any in
surance against war in the mainten-
ance of great military establish
ments, they must have been thought
to enjoy perfect protection from that
calamity. But the fact is, as common
sense must have taught, that the pos
session of these great armies and
nayies, instead of restraining them
from going to war, has been one of
the temptations and indictments lead
ing them into the commission of that
stupendous folly. SO long as one ma
ton keeps a great army and great
navy, and in order to procure the
N cans of doing SO much excite the
public mind inte-a sense of danger
and hostility toward other nations,
doubtless it is desirable, if not neces-
sary, that other or neighboring ma
lions should be equally on guard. But
to say that insurance against war can
be given only when each of such
nations maintains the greatest mill
tary establishment it can pay for is
to speak driyel.-Lewiston Tribune.

AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY

Whitman county has a game war
den, although it is probable that not
Cne-tenth of the people of the county
are aware OF that fact. He resides
in ColfaX, and draws down 500 OF
perfectly good money each month for
services rendered, and the one-tenth
of he people who know that such
l,rsOnag exists are beginning tC
wonder just what those services
are, and ii the $50 per month could
not be expended to far better add
vantage.
At the last session of the state leg
islature new game code was enact
ed, which contains several excellent
provisions. One of these provisions
provides for the appointment, upon
the recommendation of the county
commissioners, of county game
comm ission, whose duties are to look
after the interests of the game of
the county. This commission, in
Whitman county, is composed of
three level-headed men, who are de-
voting their time and energy to the
duties without compensation. On
the other hand, the county game
warden, so far as can be learned,
has made no arrest during his more
than a year in office except to take
in charge man in ColfaX who was
netting minnows for bait. The case
against this man was dismissed when
it was discovered by the game war
den that Sinner" minnows are not
classed as game fish, and the warden
was threatened with suit for dam
ages for false arrest although the
suit failed to materialize.
Whitman county, in pioneer days
a game paradise, has long since been
dropped from the list of first class
hunting grounds, and the nimrod
who does journey to the grain fields
to take a chance on locating coyey
of birds is, in SO per cent OF the
cases, a bona fide resident of the
county, who has as much at stake in
protecting the game birds as the
commissioners or the game warden,
and who is very careful not to VIC
late the letter or the spirit of the
game code in protection of his own
interests.
Therefore, it is easily explained
why the game warden has not made
arrests, even though he had made no
visible effort to perform the duties
with which he is charged. In case
the game laws are violated, any
m ember of the game commission may
make arrests, and any person who
