the improvements with which the
new alleys are equipped.

JOCKEY LANG
UPSETS DOPE
WITH DESPAIR
Form Players Suffer Severe
Drubbing At Jefferson Park.
Few FavoriteS Win.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 13.
IN Quoted in the books at
~ 4 to 1, A. A. Swenke's four
year-old gelding, Despair, with
"Chick' Lang in the saddle,
scored with comparative ease over
the favorite, Eastside, in the run
ming of the Bienville Purse, the
programmed feature at jefferson
Park this afternoon.
The upset the form players ex-
perienced in the outstanding fea-
ture was but one of many that
they experienced through the after
moons sport. Favorites were
bowled over with a sickening regu-
larity and in few instances did
second choices score.
In the Bienville, Lang outbroke
the opposition with Despair and.
rushing the Swenke color bearer
into an early lead. dominated the
running throughout. At the end
Despair held Eastside safe by three
lengths. while the favorite had an
advantage of the same margin over
Wapiti.

ed the players off on the wrong
foot in the opening number when
the wrack colt stepped down in
front of his field and rewarded his
few supporters by paying IL to l.
Reformer. after leading for the
first four furlongs, tired badly in
the stretch run.
Another long priced winner went
over in the second when Hermis
Kemble made a show of his field
over q route OF a mile and seventy
yards. The winner went on top at
the half pole and maintained sway
TO the finish.

The famous stars OF the baton also
journeyed hither. The most noted
singers were eager to take part in
the Wagner repertoire at the Metro
politan. There was no longer any
necessity to take transatlantic jour
ney to hear the music of WAGNER at
its best.
So the attendance OF the Americans
gradually grew less at Bayreuth until
they were no longer preponderating
when the war brought the sessions of
the Wagner theater to close. The
French were to. degree faithful.
There were also fewer English. The
majority Of the listeners had come to
be Germans. The countrymen Of the
composer had after forty years be-
come the main support Of the theater
devoted to the perpetuation Of his
fame.
1t will be interesting to see what
nation will be most eager to attend
when the performances are resumed.
There has been little of the music of
WAGNER heard outside of Germany
since 1914. Bayreuth may therefore
be revisited with the enthusiasm that
inspired its earliest pilgrims.

If the Frank, WhyNot the Radio ?

Senator KING of Utah objects be-
cause Senator New of Indiana used
the naval radio system to send a
political speech to Indianapolis. SEN
ator KING believes that Government
property should not be used for pri-
vate political purposes.
This is all very well, but Is the use
Of the naval radiophone by men,
Der Of Congress any worse than the
use of the franking privilege which
Congress has used for private politi-
cal purposes these many years?
Under the law any Senator or Rep
resentative may use the mails with
out limit and without cost to him
self for the broadcasting Of speeches
that have appeared in the Congress
siondl Record.
A Senator has burdened the mails
with as many as a million copies Of
a speech. The letter carriers Of the
country are annually bowed down
with 20.0OO,0O0 copies Of speeches.
What may disturb Congress is not
the use Of the Government radio but
wonder whether the party In power
will grab the official radio for its
own speeches. in the important last
weeks of campaign.

A concert in aid OF the Bialystoker
Center and Bikur Cholim took place at
the Hippodrome list evening. but there
was serious disappointment for the
large audience which assembled. Titta
Rufto. who was TO have made his fare
well appearance In concert for this set

was read from the stage. In 1t he de-
clared that he had never been so grieved
at his inability to sing. He was suffer-
ing from cold and forbidden to use
his voice for week. He has Cancelled
his engagement to sing in THE Barber

Two substitutes for Mr.. Ruffo were

A Federal Pistol Law.
State Rights and Senator Calder's
Proposed Bill.

To THE New YORK HERALD: II Is an
nounced that Senator William NJ. Calder
and others have introduced or are about
to introduce a bill into Congress to pro-
vide for Federal monopoly of firearms,
and that the right to issue permits TO
carry weapons concealed on the person
also would be reposed in the national
Government
OF course this is strictly a police
power which has never been delegated
to the Congress, while the Second
Amendment specially provides that "the
right Of the people to keep and bear
arms shall not be infringed.' That is,
1t shall not be interfered with in any
manner by the Congress, for the first ten
amendments were designed exclusively
as limitation on the Congress and to
preserve the rights OF the States
OF course, if Mr.. Calder was elective
by the State Legislature. as the Con-
stitution originally provided, he would
not be seeking to invade the legis-
lative powers OF the State, but being
a candidate before the people he is
seeking to undermine State institutions
rather than to preserve them. and thus
we see that "every innovation occasions
moro harm and arrangement of order
by It's novelty than benefit by its alb
stract utility" to quote maxim of the
common law BENJAMIN s. DEAN.

Warnpurn in Europe.

The French Deputies VINO urge
some sort of wampum to replace the
gold standard in carrying on trade
among the Allies and other countries
Of Europe, might stop to think what
bewildering masses of wampum are
already doing to many of them. Rus
sian wampum, German wampum,
Austrian wampum, Polish wampum,
expressed in uncountable paper ru-
bles, paper marks or paper crowns,
Is no better and no worse than any
other wampum would be when put
out In unlimited volume. And any
printing press wampum comes out
in unlimited quantities under the
same provocation as produces and
keeps on producing the unlimited
rubles, marks and crowns.
On the other hand, the gold stand
ard can be stable measuring stick
even for those who are not loaded
down with gold. A peck Of potatoes
will not count any more potatoes
when measured with gold than when
measured with rubles, and 1t will
not count any fewer. The fault in
the paper ruble country or the paper
mark country or the paper crown
country is no more with the worth
while gold standard than 1t is with
the worth while peck of potatoes;
the fault is with the worthless ruble
or mark or crown wampum.
II the peck Of potatoes is to be put
UP against half a bushel Of wheat
In pure barter the transaction can
be conducted without either wampum
or gold. If the value Of the peck of
potatoes Is to be considered in terms
OF money as related to the half bushel
of wheat, also considered in terms
OF money, each can be expressed in
terms of gold whether you own the
gold or somebody else owns the gold.
