THE DOLLAR SIGN AND THE
HAPPY BRIDE

What should be a religious symbol
over the entrance, known as the
brides door, of a New York church
which is patronized by the elite OF
society, is said to be a deft chiseling
of the dollar sign. The sculpture is
so ingenious that persons who move
in sedate orbit read it as a proper
decoration for the exterior of a tenn
pie, while those who are prone to in
nocent levity, of a satirical kind, in
sist it is the dollar sign, and laugh
ingly add that it is we'll placed over
the brides entrance.
The bride is not unlike her mother
nor unlikes the groom, or the grooms
father, in appraising the dollar sign
as the mark of surety of bliss and COM
fort. The average person has PEN
chant for money. Therefore a BRIDE
elect who loves her chosen partner
could not be expected TO jilt him, if
he IS wealthy: and it is said of many
a groom elect that he is self-influenced
by a motive, which he believes is a
principle. that it is just as easy TO
love a poor girl as a rich one.
The exact religious symbol is, on the
other hand. more appropriately the
brides. Woman is more capable of
sacrifice than man, and capable of
greater sacrifice, and she is more con-
siderate and more religious because
she is endowed with the merit of UNI
selfishness and the virtue of charity.
So it is not amiss that the emblem
over the brides entrance is both the
dollar sign and religious symbol
The dollar sign is the cause of many
of the unhappy marriages. Men and
women who embark on the silvery sea
of matrimony look at the endless ex-
panse OF unbroken happiness and last
ing, soothing calm. They expect con-
tent, serenity and plenty, and firm
~ believe these blessings are their
deserts. Whether in the married state
or the single state, storms and trou-
bles are the human lot. And the right
symbol for both bride and groom is
that of love, sufferance, and trust;
ever the same in happiness and rue.

were sent to one Of the government de-
pots for breeding purposes.
English racing is the backbone of
English horse breeding. The armies of
Central Europe were horsed by England.
One of the most valuable pieces of prop
erty an Englishman can own is popu-
lar and successful thoroughbred stallion.
Horse racing should be encouraged in
the United States. What may be called
the moral downfall of racing in this cOun-
try came as a result of the civil war,
which caused the death or ruin of the
southern land owners and the distribution
or disposal of their breeding stock. With
the passing of these patrons of racing
the control of racing passed into the
hands of city dwelers who felt no per-
sona1 interest in horse breeding and who
proceeded to exploit it for their own sell
fish profit with little or no regard for
any other consideration.
1.-THE United States, Canada, Mexico
and Cuba are the only countries that
have ever tolerated the conduct of race
meetings as a purely private business
1.-THE conduct of race meetings in the
United States should be regarded as a
public service and the profits limited ac-
cordingly. No excessive profits should
be allowed those entrusted to conduct
them. The adoption of these tactics will
make racing an asset to our national life."

HORSE RACING

A movement is on foot to encourage
horse racing in every state in the union
in order to insure the United States OF
improved breeds of thoroughbred horses
and thus open to this country a horse
market which win successfully compete
with England and ireland, which for two
hundred years have been the horse mar
kets of the world.
Thomas Clyde, Maryland horse breeder
and patron OF horses, agrees with the
Horse Association of America in its stand
for breeding of fine thoroughbred horses
in this country.
THE United States is immeasurably be-
hind European countries in the matter OF
Iy. In Germany and in Austria Hungary
it was found necessary many years ago
to assist private breeders by various
methods to which the state contributed.
In Russia in 1772, government studs and
horse races were established with view
to improving the breed

PRESS COMMENT
Convict Labor.

Convict Labor.
The state authorities In Ohio have
stopped using penttentiary inmates on
highway construction. The governor
explains thus:
use of every prisoner in road build
Ing means a job less for an Ohio citi-
zen. It would be unfair to deprive any
one of an opportunity to get work in
order to keep convicts busy on the
highways"
This is the familiar view of convict
labor, long urged by labor unions. But
is it true?
It seems to imply that there is only
a certain amount of labor to be done in
any state, that labor is a fixed quaint
ty, to be rationed, so to speak, among
workmen. No economist takes that
view, and it is doubtful whether any
one who looks at the matter with UNI
biased mind win think so. The fallacy
is particularly easy to demonstrate in
regard to roads.
Ohio and every other state IN the
union needs more good roads than it
is practically limitless. The only thing
limited is funds to hire workmen.
II SeeInS the opN1ouS lining 10 use
the funds available for wages in hir-
ing honest citizens, and using the pris-
oners for additional work, especially re-
pair work, which would otherwise not
get done at all. That would be better
for the state, better for the prisoners,
than forced idleness in the penitenti
airy. Everybody knows the evil re-
suits, physical, mental and moral, of
keeping lot of criminals locked up
together, with nothing to do. BY public
labor, too, the convicts help to make
amends for the harm they have done

WHY pENALIzE YOUNG AMERICA

In imposing a 10 per cent tax on
athletic equipment and sporting goods
the Sixty fifth Congress struck a di-
rect blow at the physical development

against professional sports" Al 70
