HOW BETTING PRICES RANGED IN LAST CUP YACHT RACES DEAD: HE President’s death, coming close upon the bright promise of his recovery, hurts the good heart of the people more than if the assassin’s malice had effected its purpose immediately. In the universal sorrow there is little to be said that is comforting. Our people have taken pride in the peculiarly American career of their Presidents. Washington was the owner of a large estate, but his life was that ot a plain man, the planter’s life of his time, and aside from his work as a civil engineer and i his military experience, his interests were with the land, the crops and the markets and his country.

It was strongly in favor of the Covlum- bia, the early odds generally standing at 2 to 1. The form shown by the Shamrock I in her trial spin changed the odds materially. Some of the largest wagers were as follows: Captain Lawrence, a friend of Lord Dunraven, bet $2500 to $2000 on Shamrock I with Riley Grannan. A prominent New York club member bet $1000 even on the Columbia. “Tom” O’Rourke bet $1000 to $300 on the Columbia. Thomas Lee bet $400 to $500 on the Shamrock I.

The pressure of their neces- sities brought them together to see whether there is bor, the workmen who are willing to handle those crops on their way to market. They appointed a committee to begin at the beginning, at the first point where the law is executed, the county Sheriff in Contra Costa. If he cannot execute the law ap- peal goes to the Governor. If that official, through the failure of the county authorities to call on him, cannot interfere, the formers, thrown upon their own resources, will repair to the shipping point and with arms protect the transit of their property to market. The labor leaders arnd the Examiner purposely promoted the congestion of perishable property at the point of shipment, in the expectation that it wculd bring public cpinion among the farmers to the aid of the strikers. Jn this they signally failed. The farmers saw abundant labor offering to handle their property in transit, and daily witnessed the use of force and violence to deter and intimidate that willing labor. They were themselves importuned by city at ruling wages waylaid, beaten brutally and their pockets picked by city strikers. They knew of such laborers being seized by overwhelming numbers of strikers and their arms broken to prevent them working at all. They saw every pretense of humanity and regard for the public welfare put forward by the strike leaders and the Examiner proved to be hol- low hypocrisy by the daily act of the pretenders. Seeing these things and feeling the prospective loss of millions of dollars in perishable property, they refused to be made the victim of the Exam- iner’s desire to get nickels by posing as the friend of striking labor, and have taken their affairs into their own hands. When bad men conspire, good men com- have no doubt that they will succeed. The conges- tion at Port Costa will cease.

Dominated by this idea, his election to the Presidency made him the instrument of its realization. He has fallen in the midst of his fruition among men.

Nor was this the whole evil. We have developed The London Times settle socialistic The Scotsman morey spent in giving work to the unemployed vir- tually became a bribe for votes for the Government. Ministers beught the labor vote by the lavish distri- bution as wages of the money they l;orrowed, It became the policy of the Ministers to let every fad- dist carry his measure. When its futility was demon- strated it would be repealed. The compulsory arbi- tration act to settle labor disputes promoted’ such disputes and has caused a paralysis of business. The colony is rich in natural resources, and, left the private ownership of land, and in the endeavor to create a socialist heaven has made an industrial hell. Fortunately, these experiments in the United States have been confined to cities and on a less comprehensive scale. But they are no more suc- cessful. The latest failure is that of public owner- ship of the natural gas plant in Toledo, Ohio. To- ledo is dominated by that primate of socialism and fads, “Golden Rule Jones,” who has been its Mayor for many years. Ten years ago that city issued a million dollars in bonds to create a public gas plant. Its cost of administration gradually increased until re- | the burden became unbearable to the taxpayers, and debt is $47,250, and the taxpayers have to make up the difference between that and the rental. The plant had deteriorated, and the taxpayers were unwilling to stand the cost of repairing the ravages of neglect Mr. -Seddon, “Incidentally many of the men who shouted loudest for the public gas plant got their start in life through their connection with its administration, and having become taxpayers managed to bob up in time to urge the Council to lease it to a private corporation, so as to save their taxes.” Just about this time Kitchener is waiting eagerly to learn just how many Boers are going to accept his invitation to come in and be good before Septem- | can manhood, end the publication of this | terprise came to naught, Oxy Dissatisfied Fighting Men Ado; ing the tured and sentenced to a heavy term of imprisonment.
