The Horse Gamble.

The old pilgrimage to Baton
Rouge for horse race gambling
is again in progress.
Saloon, restaurant and hotel
interests try perennially to re-
store the gamble. Other bust
ness interests that mistakenly
want it have been persuaded
again that the fixed policy of the
State is about to be reversed.
The pilgrims may talk to the
committee and resolve them
selves into a lobby to influence
the vote in the House, but the f.
nal outcome will always be the
same. They will have spent
their time and money for the
pleasure of encouraging a few
legislative lightweights in play
for stake.
Nobody doubts that a horde of
track followers camped in New
Orleans would mean more money
for the saloons, hotels and a few
other lines of business. Thought
full citizens know that this is all
that can be said. These visitors
damage other business directly
and indirectly.
The mentality behind the rae
ing movement is measured by
Remnants remark that free horse
gambling will bring swarms of
wealthy men" among us and
they will rear their homes here.
Does anybody remember the
wealthy men who built homes
here during the half generation
that Orleans was wide open to
the bookmakers? Doesn't every
sensible man know that such a
town is precisely the place that
the wealthy = the bookmakers
themselves would avoid as a
place in which to plant a fireside
and bring up children?-New Or

Horses Made to Observe F,st,.

His highness the maharaja of Ben
ares. it is stated. has put stop to
many absurd customs which affected
the health and even lives of animals
in his highness' stables and diaries.
The horses. for instance, were allowed
only half rations on Thursdays and
Mondays. and half of the savings thus
accrued was given over to the mas
ter of the horses and the other half
credited to the treasury.
On Shivaratri day these poor ami
mails had to keep fast, and similarly
in Muharram they had to forego their
rations in order to show respect to the
memory of the martyr Of Karbela.
These dumb animals were forced to
observe these rituals in order to fur
nish q luxurious repast to their
grooms and masters.

CALEXICO $4,000
H. S. BOND ISSUE
DECLARED UNSOLD

Owing to an irregularity in the pre-,
liminary proceedings of the $4,000
issue of Calexico high school bonds,
the county supervisors decided Tues
dav afternoon to defer delivery to
Wilson, Cranmer & Co., Denver bank :
,ers, who had been awarded the is
sue. pending a decision on the legal
ity of the bonds.
According to the conditions I'M
nosed on the Denver firm, they were
to have the legality approved before
acceptance, but when the matter was
thoroughly Investigated it was found
that a slight flaw existed. George
E. Cranmer, member of the firm,
appeared before the board yesterday,
explaining that it was a mere technl-
cality which could be rectified by the
supervisors and thus effect delivery as
previously agreed upon.
Believing that the bond market
might improve and an advanced price
on the $4,000 issue be secured, the
board went on record as favoring de-
lay in the final sale until at least
another effort was made to sell, hop
ing that by readvertising that at
least premium would be offered.
Mr.. Cranmer was optimistic and good
natured when informed by the board
of their decision, the banker remind
ing them that he would be back whe
another bid was desired.
