The lid has been on good and tight
for ten years upon horse racing
throughout the United States. The
sport fell into disrepute not because
1t was cruel or lnhuman, but because
the performance OF the horse was
usually not based upon merit. The
races were manipulated in the in
terests OF the gambler. The best
horse did not always win. They
we're simply the marked cards In the
racing tout's deck, and when reform
seemed impossible the ban was placed
upon the track. II horse racing can
be kept clean, Il is the sport par ex-
cellence. and has had much to do in
developing the horse to his present
standard. Its return is welcomed by
thousands. Its continuance will de-
pend upon whether or not II is simply
a gambling game or real test OF
speed and gameness in horses.

ARRESTS DURING FEBRUARY
.... SHOW LARGE DECREASE

Toll Bridge at Dubuque Making
p" Money Thru Prohibition.

Cedar Rapids, March 1.-THE police
report for the month Of February con-
tains several significant facts There
were 116 more arrests in the month Of
January last year than in the same
month this year. This large difference
was considerably cut down for the
second month of this year when there
were fifty three less arrests than for
the corresponding month last year.
In February. 1915, there were sixty
one arrests for crimes growing out OF
intoxicatlon, while for February, 1915,
there were but nine arrested on that
charge From these facts it would
seem that the other offenses are not
caused by liquor as there were only
one more arrested last year on other
charges than there were during the
same time this year
During February 1915. no one was
arrested for a violation of the state
liquor laws, while this year there were
9ve booked on that charge for the
month.
More women were arrested in Feb
ruary, 1916, than in February, 1915,
as the report shows ten arrested dur
ing that month last year and sixteen
this year There were also more young
people arrested this year than last as
the report for February, 1915. shows
that eleven boys and one girl under
the age Of q had been arrested and
the report for that month this year
shows nineteen who were under that
age had been taken to the police
station.
The police cars responded TO 10 runs
this year which was thirty-six less
than the number for the same time
last year. However. the car travelled
64lt miles in its 10 runs this year.
last year in the POS runs IT made only
AT miles. This would seem to indi-
cate that most Of the arrests had been
made at a greater distance from the
down town district than formerly was
the case.
Five were arrested during the past
month on warrants issued from out
side Of this city.
