Boston cradled the first tourney in 1903 and held on to its pugilistic offspring for 27 years until 1t was kidnapped" by New York in 1881 and 1882.

American turf lovers now anc then succumb, like so many othel of Uncle Sam,s citizens, to the be. lief that imported goods are better than our own.
 The Kentucky Derby nominations almost always carry the nomina- tions of imported English or Frenct ~ horses. An@ generally these nornin. ations are made by newcomers tc horse racing.
 The idea seems to be that the novice will go abroad, buy some champion, and confound the loca boys. Movie stars get that way, ane the movie colony is a rich harvest for foreign salesmen at the present time.
 MT. Raoul Walsh, of Hollywood Boulevard, has Sunset Trail en- tered in the Kentucky Derby. This one is a British horse of some repute.
 Yet if he fares no better thar previous ones have done, Sunset Trial Che is listed in this country as Sunset Trail ID will be Q nonentity in six months.
 Likes Imported Horses
 Sunset Trial brings to mind the fact that MT. Walsh for some time has been trying des- perately to win the big stakes with an imported star.
 First of all he tried to import Thankerton, a half-brother to the great lilly Quashed which gave Omaha a nose beating in the Ascot Cup.
 Now because of a certain "bar sinister" in the pedigree of the dam of Quashed and Thankerton, neither can be registered as thor oughbred. Yet both are eligible to race in England. Naturally the owner of Thankerton was tickled pink to find an American buyer who would pay big price for a horse which could not be regis tered and therefore not used for breeding purposes.
 But no sooner was the deal made than MT. Walsh found to his intense astoniShment that Thank erton could not race in the United States, that is, if Santa Anita Obeyed the rules of the Jockey Club. The rule states that only horses registered in the American Stud Book or in the recognized stud books of other countries can race on American tracks, that is, Jockey Club tracks.
 Plaar Lap Exception
 Santa Anita preferred to stick to the rules and Mir. Walsh had to look elsewhere for a champion to win the big Santa Anita purse.
 He chose the French horse, Grand Manitou, and this one was able to beat only the tail-enders in the great race, although he did finish second to Seabiscuit in the consolation event.
 Phar Lap, of course, lived up to everything said of him. But Boy Painter. Challenger II, Pillow Fight, and host of others have failed sniserably.
 It Is perhaps unfair to include Challenger II since he succumbed to injuries. Yet he didn't go onto the hospital shelf until he had tried and lost for the bloated west coast purse.
 Now the English and French have . more or less exaggerated 0pinion of American wealth. And they have reason to know that rich Americans are not shrewd buyers. So they tack on heavy w1emiiin when they smell an American in the Offing. Importing Is Costly

Untruth Unashamed.
Moroccan soldiers on the Rhine

Bible concerning human conduct were

alike as self-evident demands for the
individual and society.
The departure from these injunc-
tions Prof. Einstein plainly declares
to be a retrogressive step, and he cites
rs indications OF a relapse into bar
barism the moral degeneration ex-
pressed in the relinquishing of the
quest of truth for its own sake, and
the prevalence Of the, idea that Right
is that which serves us!'
This assertion that man cannot live
as human being without the recog-
milton of, and devotion to, moral prin-
cipleS, comes with particular interest
from a man whose theory of relativity
has been loosely associated in the
lay mind with the very forces tending
to destroy faith in such platonic ideas
as truth and untruth. justice and
injustice, good and evil
The tendency of modern thinking
to confuse the genesis of things with
their truth-the tendency which in
terprets the physics of Newton as
characteristic of rising bourgeoisie,
or the love relation between men and
women as the emanation only of a
certain kind of economic system, or
the ideas Of political leader as
related to his infantile conditioning
this tendency is repeatedly justified as
being scientific" But Prof. Einstein
is by no means the first eminent
scientist to repudiate it.
Serves Fascist States.
The doctrine that right is what
serves us, right being incorporated in
a certain kind of political and eco
nomic organization, has been officially
adopted by both communism and
fascism. In neither form of society
does the individual conscience function
without hindrance in eve.l the simplest
personal relationships, to people or
ideas. Nor is there acknowledgment
Of any possibility of truth outside
the theology of the organized society.
Thus German is justified in repudi-
ating debt If the debt is to a Jew.
In the current philosophy of inter-
national communism, cabaI. intrigue
and the lie are good or evil, wholly
according to the aims they serve.
One cannot read the international
news. even as written by presumably
impartial observers, without the vivid
consciousness that there is a whole
sale and almost universal disregard
for truth and that M nation has
a monopoly Of this disregard. Russia
is not really intervening in the affairs
Of Spain-although, curiously, the
