THE MALTESE DERBY.
Its Curious Race Course With Go as
You Please Rules.

You Please huIeSs
Horse racing is favorite sport the
world over, but it is doubtful whether
any nation can boast Of such curious
race course or claim more remarkable
Ideas of the sport than the Maltese.
Once year the road skirting Sliema
harbor is reserved as race course, and
the people turn out in thousands
There is no regulation Of the course.
The crowd simply clears out OF the
way as the horses come along.
The jockeys ride without brides or
saddles, and each carries a whip in
either hand-one for his own mount,
the other to keep back any horse which
may try to overtake him. We saw one
Of the spectators deliberately trip a
horse up by putting his leg out. at
grave risk to himself.
These things, however incredible as
they seem to sportsmen in this coun-
try, are taken as quite matter of
course, and consequently hardly year
goes by without fatality of some
kind. All things considered, it Is not
likely that the "go as you please" rules
of this Maltese derby are likely to COM

Whatever may be the variety OF
opinion in this country as to the eff

are largely influenced by the point Of
view involved in their own selfish in
tcrests. The English think we nave

afford to ignore their discomfort. The
English can't see why We fail to un-
dcrstand that our sacrifices are made

what Inconvenience we suffer on ac-
count Of the war ought to be cheer

hasten the day when the enemy OF
civilization shall be crushed. This
sounds very much like the Teutonic
argument some time back Germany
was fighting for civilization, for the
open sea, and her national existence
was threatened 10y a powerful coalition
of enemies; therefore, such incidents
as the drowning Of Americans and the

The most charitable view that can
DO taken OF It still leaves strong
suspicion of insinccrity attaching to
the remarkable effort Of Governor
Williams to get expressions of opinion
from each representative regarding
the adNisability Of an extra session OF
the legislature While asking the ad-
vice and views of each member, there
shines through the whole envelope of
diplomatic palaycr a desire to find
some kind Of justification for calling
that body together in special confer
once at the expense Of the taxpayers.
Everybody knows that the various
other matters mentioned as needing
sttention are but dust thrown in the
eyes Of the people Everybody knows
that the sole incentive for this extra
session is a partisan eagcrncss to
frame a substitute for the defunct
grandfather law. In fact, this Is so
well known that it seems absurdly un-
necessary to even mention It. The
Democrats are not hiding their pur-
pose in the least by searching for
other possible excuses to justify the
proposed session. 1t is SO palpablc a
rrotcnsc that It would almost be con-
sIdcrcd more honorable for them to be
frank and outspokcn. The only qucs-
ton open TO discussion is whether the
governor wants the extra session and
seeks justification for calling It, or
whether he Is against 1t and would
welcome a predominance of adverse
opinion, and the general impression
is in favor of the first suggestion. In
either event Governor Williams is
very much like the generality of hu-
manity in that he asks advice, not in
the hope of obtaining useful opinions,
hut to find an excuse for carrying out
What he already intends to do.

CURRENT COMMENT

1t is hard TO decide which Of two
events has the first place IN American
interest today the tOrpedoing OF the
AncUna or the searching OF the
steamer Zcalandia. The Aucona case
- hailed by the English press as n
second Lusilania', yet not enough
ID known Of the circumstances OF the
attack nor the personnel OF the Hc-
Tins TO Justify the American govern
ment in making protcstatious. The
AncOna was an Italian vessel and met
ITS fate in the shape OF an Austrian
submarine. Whether tho ship was
destroyed without warning, or whcth-
,r 1t was Oycrtakcn IN the attempt 10
escape, as well as whether American
lives were lost, viii figure largely In
the position assumed at Washington.
I'm The other case, an American mer-
chant vessel was forclbly searched by
British authorities whilc at anchor
In a Mexican port. This is one Of the
most iLdcicnsiblc OF all the high
lan I'D outragcs pcrpctratcd by the
British on neutral commerce. and In
addition was a fragrant breach OF in
lDrnatlona. law in violating the waters
IL "a neutral state. The Zcalandia
Was upprchcudcd on pure suspicion.
