Rothschld Grows
Suspicious; Too
Many Races Flukf

Paris.-So many queer looking ra-
| ces, (despied outsiders defeating i'll
ustrious horses) have been uncovered
at the metropolitan tracks since the
opening of the racing season that Ba-
ron de Rothschild, himself one of the
largest owners in France as well as
deputy for Pau. has brought the mat
ter to the attention of the French
Chamber.
Baron de Rothschild has asked the
Chamber to pass a law for the sup
preston of book making IN Paris
and largest cities of France, the books
to be replaced by Parf-nutual booths
in the cities.
The French government receives 10
percent on all moneys taken in at the
Pari-mutual booths at the various
tracks As the amounts bet at the diff
ferent tracks vary from 100000 to
100000 francs daily the French
government derives from the racing
industry revenue of between 500, 200
and 100000 francs per day.
Baron de Rothschild said in the
French Chamber that more money
was bet with the books operating in
Paris each day than at the tracks;
estimating that 100000 francs per
day were wagered in the city alone
This is net loss of 10000 francs a
day for the government. He charged
that several races had been run with
such flagrant evidence of crookedness
that had such racing been attempted
in England or America, the owners,
trainers or jockeys would have been
ruled off the turf for life
1t has been alleged that the book
makers gather in all the city money
in the forenoon. no bet being accepted
under and circumstances after / p. m.
This gives them ample time to journey
to the track and, if they find that they
are overloaded on any one horse and
stand to lose too much, to use little
persuasion on the jockey piloting the

fiatism, as in 1896 and 1900, but it al
ways held that currency issuing was
exclusively governmental function.
On the other hand, the Republican
organization and it's predecessors
sympathized with the elastic cur
rency principle. Often it was afraid
to act, for it's opponents yelled that
the Republicans were establishing
Privilege and were controlled by a
Money Power, but every conspicuous
currency reformer was a Republican.
When President Wilson unexpect-
edly revealed himself as a currency
reformer it was recognized, even in
his own party, that he had gone to
his political opponents for his ideas.
AS "The Times" accurately indi-
Gates, the Aldrich bill and report

The True Puritan Influence

Celebrations Of the Pilgrim tercen-
tenary have begun in England al
ready. The passengers of the May
flower did not get away easily. Al
though the Speedwell arrived from
Holland at Southampton on July 10
III that memorable year, the May
flower did not finally sail from Plym-
outh until September 6. These dates
are worth remembering. But De-
cember p will rightly see the climax
OF the demonstration in their honor.
1t is this date which the President
asks the whole country to join with
Massachusetts in marking.
That was a notable voyage, sig
nificant of much in American his
tory. Yet many have questioned
whether the Pilgrims have not had
more than their share of honor-not
for their personal virtues, but for
their influence as founders of a new
nation. AS pioneers in great ven
ture they exhibited in high degree
those qualities of the English race
which have sent it to colonize or to
conquer in every part of the world.
But the Plymouth colony was LONG
feeble settlement; nor did it ever play
the part in the making of New Eng
land that the colony of Massachu-
setts Bay played. That strangely
mingled democracy and theocracy
which the Puritans set ND drew it's
main strength from the settlers of
Boston and Salem. We are apt to
think Of it's ideals as those of the
America of to-day, but in truth they
were in some respects quite diverse.
The Pilgrim Fathers and those who
so quickly followed them were in
formed with the spirit of Eliza
bethan Puritanism, spirit that pre-
vailed In New England long enough
