By the Associated Press.

ing his racing stable and that his horses
will continue to run in the colors OF
the Rancocas stable as usual
Commenting on the agitation Great
ed by reports of the sale of his stable
to James Irwin, Philadelphia contractor,
Sinclair said.
Somebody seems overanxious to sell
my horses for me. 1 never heard of
the man in my life. Several months
ago Sam Hildredth sold two or three
Of my horses to man named Emmons
of Philadelphia, to be trained as jump

to race my horses in my own colors
according to the schedule Sam Hill
dredth has followed in the past.
I've been too busy to think much
about racing but Sam says he will bring
the horses up from the farm in Jersey
to Bemlont Park about the middle of
this month and will have some of them
ready for the barrier for the meeting

While the Sinclair stable has been
barred from the Maryland tracks be-
cause of the Teapot Dome Oil scandal,
the ruling of this Maryland Racing
Commission has no effect on tracks in
New York. Kentucky and Illinois.
Although Irwin yesterday said he had
taken title to Sinclair's stock in several
Maryland tracks, members of the Mary
land Racing Commission took exception
to his claims declaring Sinclair was not
stockholder in State turf interests
there.

Bye and bye they will begin to bat 1t

Lou Gehrig has worried himself be-
cause he isn't batting between the field

hitting the ball. If he will quit worry
ing and forget home-run records, he
will move sprightly enough. He is
young, and the fretting of record-mak-

him. 1t would have been just as well
for Gehrig If he had quit playing base

not gone to California on a junketing

junkets have raised hob with young

n OWES opening program today,
- featuring the Inaugural Handi-
cap, was looked upon as the best
H. that ever had been presented at
Prince George Park on the OPEN
ing day.
The Inaugural attracted a field of 25
entries, the largest in the history of the
race. The class of horses starting in
this event was better than was expected.
Contrary 10 what has happened In
other years, the horses that we're fresh
ened up during the Winter were favored
over those that were well seasoned
other racing points.
Aucilla, owned by Clint Smithson of
Washington. was looked upon as the
early favorite. He was regarded as the
best conditioned horse in the race.
However, he was facing a difficult task
in that he had to carry 125 pounds.
What made his task even harder was
that Orville Brown was to have the
mount, and that meant Aucilla would
have to carry approximately 20 pounds
of lead.
Harry Payne Whitney was well rep
resented by Reminder and Afterglow.
The former has beaten many Of the
horses he was asked to meet today,
while Afterglow in training trials has
done we'll enough to suggest he would
be a serious contender Afterglow went
amiss training last year and as result
had little racing. He is a well bred
thing, however. and Trainer Freddie
Hopkins thought we'll of his chances.
He was entered in both the Inaugural
and also the Twin Cities purse. His
chances were considered better in the
latter event.
The program was to open with juve-
nile race of four furlongs. 1t was con-
sidered likely the Whitney pair, Chicola

POLITICS IN AIS STATE

Under the caption mercy Fol
Mrs. Knapp" the Great Falls Tri
bune has the following to say
editorially on an incident that has
been prominent in the news col
umns recently.
In sentencing Mrs. Florence
Knapp, former republican secre-
tary of state of New York, SUI
preme Court Justice Callaghan
said: "The records furnish indis-
putable proof that funds to s27,-
004 were improperly paid by the
state on false certification by the
defendant. OF that sum at least
S17,407 was wrongfully received by
the defendant. and probably a to-
tai of S24,175 is traceable directly
or indirectly to her."
Why, then, should her sentence
have been only 80 days in Jail?
The assertion has been made that
such mercy was not because she
is a woman, but will anybody con-
tend that a man guilty of the same
crime would not have been more
adequately punished?
The sentence seems the more
inadequate because Mrs. Knapp
held the highest office ever in
trusted to a woman in her state.
t is argued that a Jail sentence of
any length at all is "a heavy pun
shment" for a woman sin her po-
with her associations"-
virtually amounts to the
announcement of a theory that
only the lower classes need ade-
1uate Jail sentences, and that of
tenders of the higher social class
IS suffer enough from wounded
pride if they are sent to jail only
Tor a few days.
Herein we have an added angle
to the old complaint that there is
'one law for the rich and another
for the poor"

MR.. MERCHANT
(Medicine Lake WaVe)

The newspaper of today is the
most powerful medium OF adVertls-
ing on earth. In the old days the
merchant may have thought he
was a benefactor and that he was
contributing his bit ''as a public
spirited citizen" when he carried
a two-inch space in the village
paper every week in the year and
generally without change of copy.
Possibly he was.
But that is changed now. A
new order has arrived. People
read advertisements. Many find
their greatest interest in looking
over the advertising pages to get
news that will save them money;
and take it from John D. Rookie
Teller, the way to save dollars is
first to save your pennies.
Advertisements today are right
up to the minute. They are as
fresh as the news Of the world or
the latest baseball Live
merchants cater to live people
and they know they must not
alone be up to the minute, but
they must be some distance ahead.
They must anticipate the wants
of their customers.
And they do. Turn to the adj
vertisements in this paper right

before he announced his conylc-
ton that Mr.. Hoover is determin-
ed to solve the farm problem; also
that Mr.. Hoover can and will be
"a great friend and b%enefactor of
agriculture"
An Independent Republican and
and active agitator for farm relief,
with a large personal following in
North Dakota, Senator Nye was a
prize whose loss will hardly en-
nance the confidence of the Demo-
cratic organization in its ability
to capture the farm vote. The
Democrats are fishing in troubled
waters; but neither former Cover
nor Lowden nor Senator Nye did
more than nibble their hook. Sen
ator Nye's support carries with it
a significance that is broader than
the farm relief issue. Anyone
who has followed his record as a
senatorial inquisitor in Washing
ton may be sure that Gerald P.
Nye would not give his support to
a candidate who could not in re-
turn give him assurance that his
administration would be kept
clean of corruption.

HoovER's FARM PROGRAM

AS usual, Herbert Hoover shows
his remarkable faculty for getting
to the bottom of things when he
tackles the problem of farm relief.
He is definite. He sees the need.
He sees the difficulties. He has a
program. Like the good econom-
ic engineer he is. he has surveyed
the job in all its aspects and he
has drawn the blueprints. And
like a man who loves his work. he
somehow gets over the idea that
he and no one else. is the man to
do it.
Never has a presidential candi-
date stated a problem more clear
1y, analysed it more carefully,
and asserted more earnestly his
determination to solve it, than
has the Republican nominee in
discussing agricultural relief in his
Speech of Acceptance.
"The most urgent economic
problem today is in agriculture"
is his opening sentence on the
subject. at must be solved if we
are to bring prosperity and con-
pie directly and to all of our people
directly and to all of u people
indirectly. We have pledged our
selves to find a solution. These
are solemn pledges and they will
he fulfilled by the Republican
Party"
Before dealing with remedies,
he diagnoses the causes of the
trouble. They are four in number
need of further tariff protection,
cheaper transportation for farm
products. better distribution and
reorganization of the marketing
system. Then he proceeds to
show what he, as the new leader
of his party, will do to put through
legislation that will give the far
mer the neeM I'd relief.
No time will be lost, Mr.. Hoover
declares, in putting these various
measures into effect. "The Repub-
lican Platform offers an affirma-
tive program" and needs only
the detailed elaboration of legisla-
ton and appropriations to put it
into force,'' he asserts.
Mr.. Hoover has no patience with
the possible objection that the
Federal government may have to
advance some hundreds of mil
lions of capital without obligation
on the individual farmer. "a ma
ton which is spending ninety bill
lions a year can well afford an ex-
penditure of a few hundred mil
lions for a workable program that
will give one-third of its popula-
ton their fair share of the ma
tion's prosperity. Exchange
