Drake Visit SaratOga.


At Saratoga recently many OF the
old-timers were very much surprised
to see an affable. gray-mustached gen.
tleman. twirling his cane as of old
and looking over the thoroughbreds
in the paddock. He was none other
than John A. Drake. returned to the
scene of many of his most spectacu-
lar and sensational betting coups. 1t
had been IL years since Drake last
visited the Spa.
In case you are not familiar with
the name John A. Drake. you will
be interested to know that he was
the partner of "Betcha Million" Gates.
These gentlemen were the original
plungers. Their betting coups in
cluded profits of half-a million dollars
on Savable in the Futurity of 1902;
100000 on Grapple in the Metro
politan Handicap of 1906. and $780,
! 900 on a mere platter, General Haley,
backed from 20 to to i.
Their largest cleanup, however. was
the ly-remembered Royal
Flush coup in England
This was the heaviest killing
in history. some Of the more
conservative estimates placing 1t
As $5,O00,000.
Drake said, Gates would bet more
than any man who ever lived, when
We were taking future book prices on
Royal Flush, had eight pages COW
cred in notebook. I told Gates it
was enough. He turned around and
said, What's the trouble, John. any,
thing wrong with the forse?' I kept
him from winning twice as much.
Royal Flush was backed from 40 to /
down to to at post time.
Drake is 70 years old. He ran $780,
900 up to s7.000.000 at the age of
81. He went broke. He fought back
and accumulated another huge for
tune He lost it again in the panic
of 1907. And he came up still an
other time.
Drake says he definitely will never
race in this country again. He is
| hopeful of winning a Grand National
Speaking of great horses, he said,
You can't 60 very far after Man O.
War. That was the zenith in the
thoroughbred industry. I think Man
O War could have given his son, War
Admiral, 20 pounds and a beating.
He was the worlds greatest horse
and next to him was Saradanapale
in France"

SIGNIFICANCE IN THE
- POLITICAL LIFE OF THE
NEGRO
By Rayford w. Logan

The recent death of Justice Car
dozo of the United States Supreme
Court may have a significance in the
political life of the Negro that has
generally escaped notice, according to
a report from the office Of Dr.. Ray
ford w Logan, director of education
of the Alpha Phi Fraternity. Great
Liberal as the late Justice was, Pro-
lessor Logan pointed out, "he agreed
with the other members of tn United
States Supreme Court that the Demo-
cratic party has the right to exclude
Negroes from its primaries. Three OF
those nine members have left the court
since that decision was rendered. AS
soon as two other changes have been
made Negroes should prepare a new
case and endeavor to have that decl-
sion reversed. The United States Su-
preme court has reversed itself before.
Abraham Lincoln's criticism of the
bred Scott decision helped to make
him president. Negroes should not
cease similarly to denounce the deci-
sion in the Grovey VS.. Townsend case
which has made the south as Fascist
as Italy or Germany the report con-
tinued.
DIR. Logan first made the suggest
ion of preparing a new case as a part
of he Alpha Phi Alpha campaign OF
education for citizenship. The idea is
now being studied by some OF the most
distinguished lawyers in the country.
1.-THE Negro is more effectively dis
frachised in the South than at any
time since 1867. For this reason the
political views of future appointees TO
the United States Supreme Court
should be carefully scrutinized," the
report concluded.

FIRST A FEW OF THE MANY
REASON

Boosting the lowest manufactured

A bipartisan board composed OF

Omaha's leading business and pro-

SOUTHERN FEUDAL SURVIVALS
The Nations No. l Economic Problem
BY William L. Patterson

Twenty-Five Southern leaders met
under the auspices of the National E
mergency Council to discuss the ur-
gent need of the rehabilitation of the
Southern states. The Council is one of
the instruments fashioned by the Ro-
sevelt administration to draft plans
for the economic restoration of the
South. This is a task of gigantic pro-
portions.
In his message to the Council the
President put the question more sharp
ly than he has yet placed any other
question concerning u economic and
political life.
at is my conviction said he,
"that the South presents now the ma
TONS No. 1. economic problem, not
merely the South's. For we have an
economic u~nbalance in the nation as
a whole, due to this very condition of
the South"
The South is NOW the nations No.
1 economic problem" 1t is not difficult
to agree with this conclusion when we
are clear as to the angle from which
the President approaches the question:
The South with tremendous economic
potentialities and vast natural resourc-
es does no contribute its share to the
material wellbeing of the country as
a whole. It's vast natural resources are
neglected or wasted. 1t is a drag upon
natural development.
But the most important capital Of
The Omaha guide., 1938-08-06

In a survey made recently by a
nationally known firm of efficiency en-
gineers the Utilities District board of
directors were praised for the freedom
from political influence and the effici-
ency of management that has made
possible an increase of 100000 in net
value of the district, and a decrease of
$5,000,000 in the Districts debt" dur
ing the Il years ending in 1896.
The present board is representa-
tive of the traditional high quality and
public spirit which has always govern
ed the selection of board members.
w. B. Willard, republican and
Francis p. Matthews, democrat, r
seeking reelection to the board of di-
rectors in the primary Tuesday, Aug.
9. All voters will be given the small,
special utilities ballot.
Mr.. Matthews, prominent Omaha
attorney has served as chairman of
the Metropolitan Utilities boards judi
ciary committee. His experience as an
attorney, as legal counsel for the RFC
chairman of the Douglas county demo-
cratic, and his active leadership in CT
vic affairs have qualified him for eff
fective work in the administration of
the affairs of the district. He has been
dilignt in pursuit of the districts pro
gram to retire its final outstanding
bonded debt in 1871 when these bonds,
totalling $350O,0O0 mature. He also
has constantly guarded the best inter-
ests of he public in all matters per-
tanning to service rates.
Although he has had shorter ex-
perience than Mr.. Matthews as a men,
Der of the Utilities board, w. B. Mil
lard, republican candidate for reflect
ion to the board can point to a record
