let your tout get started on his story. chances
are you'll slip and take his tip.
At race track. secret information goes in
one ear. and common sense goes out the other.
It might be added that money goes out Of the
pocket also.
Everyone claims to know that you cant beat
the races. But everyone equally believes that
you can beat one race-if you know how, and
upon whom. to bet. And the tout is hoping
that you'll believe the latter with all his con-
spring little heart.
There are three kinds Of touts. and you may
be one type Of tout yourself. albeit uncon-
sciously.
TINE first type Of tout is the one alluded to

her man and ask him how to read the racing
form. And then she'll tell him that certain

with surprising regularity.
Tou.s Of this type flourish chiefly because
the public demands them. No man ever worked
about a race track without being constantly
annoyed BY friends seeking information. These
people seem to base their rather elementary
reasoning powers on two beliefs: that all races
are crooked. and that all track men know 10 I'd.

Ask him yourself" one Of the men replied.
And after some hesitation the little fellow
approached the boy and whispered his question.
The boy so questioned seemed not to take his
eyes from the saddling scene. but his lips moved
perceptibly. and his finger pointed secretively
toward name on his program. Instantly the
dwar6sh boy disappeared toward the betting
commissioners.
The young fellow laughed in apparent
amusement as the dwarf scurried off and then
asked the young men if they knew him. The
three moved toward another stable group and
the youth designated as Charley kurtslnger's
brother asked the men if they were connected
with the track in any way.
By that question he tipped his hand He was

EDUCATION WILL AID RECOVERY.

Proongation of the average period of education will unemployment pressure was the decara- tion made recently by Harry Woodburn Chase, Chancellor of the New York University at con ference of the American Bankers Association in New York City
 "The whole world is disturbed and restless, Dr. Chase said, citing youth movements in Germany and Italy, which have brought into being govern ments operated by emotion and prejudice. He warned that the United States not immune to similar developments and cited Civil War period when conditions were similarly disturbed
 Institutions of learning in the United States, he declared are bulwarks in defense of the American tradition. He denied that they were "hotbeds of radicalism," but asserted that, on the contrary, "college faculties like all established institutional groups are on the whole and rule very slow in any departure from the well tried well trodden paths of thought slsialttsgst t,5ttf4is tftfIff
 He offered three methods for solving" social and economic problems revolution, demagogic activ ity which arouses mass emotion and "an intelli- gent, dispassionate attack backed by facts and re- quring understanding and good will, not only on the part of a few leaders but on the part of the substantial citizenship itself"
 He advocated the third method and said that to guarantee it education must be free It must not be instrument Of propaganda for any sort of partisan group or cause It must attempt both to get at llls uuIn oi things ana to puHo up III the minds of stldents high regard for truth and for the processes which make trust possible. The results of education should not be prejudice and the closed mind. There must be- rather, the open mind and the informal intellect"
 College men, he said, took leading part in the war, but he felt that college graduates have not taken their share of responsibility to society during the depression He attributed this to faculty education in contemporary problems.
 As to current distress he said it cannot be leid at the doors of any group be they bankers manufacturers politicians" He warned that solutions to current problems could not be found "by yielding to emotion prejudice "by trying to find single scapegoat for national ills "

Cincinnati Enqulrer)


 One hundred years ago Andrew Jackson com working out deal too He felt he had the country with him, for in his second election he received 219 votes out of the 289 in the Electoral College Yet there is possible parallel between General Jackson's new deal and Franklin D. Roose- velt's new deal The two men and their methods are vastly dissimilar When General Jackson didn't like thing he hit it on the head with
 On the 4th of February, 1884, he sent special message to Congress-very short only four brief, pungent paragraphs-in which he called The Bank of the United States "an irresponsible money cor poration" Had he been familiar with modern phaseology he would have said it was Public Enemy No l. The gist of the message that the bank "impedes and defeats what the Administration sought to do In few months General Jackson had his chance down came the ax and off went the head of the bank.
 In 1884 the public debt trifle; in 1885 it extingushed-paid off altogether, and the United States did not dollar. General Jackson worried over possible surplus which might lead to wild extravaganza. Today MT Roose- welt has not that particular worry. On the contrary it is exactly the other way about.
 In spite of the figures in the Electoral College, General Jackson kept making enemies, not polite political opponents but bitter, implacabe foes He was terrible hater and hate was repaid with hate. That is where the President of 1884 and the President of 1884 differ. MT Roosevelt has firm and emphatic character that possessed by Old Hickory, but he has of the latter's ruthless ness. Even those opposed to him politically are heart and soul with him in the hope the deal will put the country its feet again.

 The comparatively minor increase in the value of gold and silver exports from Alaska in 1883, amounting to $570274 above the 1892 total is but hint of what may be expected from the Northern Territory this year.
 Even if operations this year kept at the rate last it is certain that the dollar value of the exports would be considerably higher.
 Increase in the price of gold from $2067 an ounce to $35 last year too late to be fully reflected in last years exports
 The incentive of higher prices, however, has launched many projects to reclaim gold from previously unprofitable mines, which together with the increasing purchasing power to be derived from sales of the yellow metal should have a significant influence Seattles trade.
 Fishing and fur industries likewise are show ing the effects of higher prices and increased demand with the result that an increased source of trade is indicated for Seattle

Many were turned away because of the tremendous crowd and the meeting was warmly enthusiastic with ev- eryone giving the closest attention to all the speakers. There was considerable diversion in the form of amusement. Refreshments were served by A. T. Spatz, of the Spatz Cafe and cob pipes and to- bacco in abundance. It was pro- nounced by all who attended as a most successful smoker.
