A TRAGEDY OF
THE TRACK.

Undoubtedly the most interesting
incident Of the present harness rae
Inn season was the establishing OF
q new record for q trotting stallion
over Q halfmile track In q race by
Tom Patch at Youngstown last
week, and the death Of the horse
that same night The record mile
OF a:Os - so exhausted the horse
that the fipal heat Of the race was
captured by Lou Jennings. who was
forced TO travel At but q 2:2s clip
70 win.
Tom Patch was buried In state
the next day, with no less than
1000 track patrons rs spectators.
Most OF them rere genuine mourn
ers. After the race, and before II
was known that the new record
holder had been taken sick Tom
Murphy made m offer Of $500 for
The h0rse and was refused BY the
owner, w. H. Boyd, Of Toronto
The record fns stations over the
haif distance oval Is held by willy
with Z marx second faster than
2:Os -. but thatwas made in an ex
hibftiou and not In competition.
Sweet Marie holds the record for
mares with . mark of 2:07.
II Is interesting to note that the
record 81 up by Tom Patch Was not
really o6Icially announced until the
horse was dead The announced

National Prohibition

| is time for the sober-minded people of
L TINS country to consider the possibilities of
the prohibition agitation. Great movements
sometimes gain such momentum that they
pass beyond the original wishes OF their adj
vocatcs and take directions changing
needed reforms into disastrous revolutions
This may be the case with the prohibition
wave.
lho convention now i session at Atlantic
CITY has aroused great enthusiasm. and the
demand for prohibition amendment to the
United States Constitution will be energeti-
cally and rhetorically urged. The demand is
an excellent illustration Of the primary fault
or many reform movements They usually
start in communities which desire them and
then spread TO other communities Tbeso
communities combine and ATTEMPT TO enforce
the REFORMS on cities and towns which do not
deslre them. In this manner prohibition
mas passed from the perfectly right and tustif1-
able form OF local option to the much less
desirable state wide prohibition and now to
the menacing constitutional amendment;
Let people consider what such an amend
ment Will mean 10 the tax burdened pronertv

July Grafton delivered by Congressman Porter,
OF Pennsylvania.
In this Grafton Mr.. Porter delivered him

and ammunition to ship to Europe are as
guilty Of murder as the man who fires the
shot" Mr.. Neligar wants to know If we
consider Mr.. Porter insane. The answer

statesman is correctly quoted. is not difficult
1t is:
Certainly.
1t will be observed that Mr.. Porter not only
convicts the munitions manufacturers Of this
country of murder. but also every soldier of
every army now engaged on the battle fields
Of Europe
Ordinarily. it would require some hardi-
hood to assign final guilt Of this enormity to
100000 men. When that hardihood is
exhibited, however, by a person who also

prolong the war, and. doing this, the blood
