Sullivan 7,335 Frederick Johnson 7,260 Chelsea Stable 7,090 In addition to the foregoing, 155 stables won between $1,000 and $7,000 each. Some of these stables had as many as a dozen starters who “figured in the money.” Stables or owners to the number of 217 won between $100 and $1,000 each. Of this number fifty-four were in the $100 class. The average winnings for the 438 stables were $5,938, which sum tells a doleful tale for a majority of them, as the expenses of one thoroughbred and its owner for a year cannot well be squeezed into $5,938, unless the horse’s diet is restricted to hay and the owner lives at a Mills hotel. Mr. Keene’s winnings were $164,940. That amount about paid his racing expenses for the year. All of which, I think, goes to prove that the Racing Trust is more anxious to make and increase enormous profits than to improve the breed of horses. And everybody is aware that such enormous profits are made only by violation of the Constitution of the state, and that, while gambling in poolrooms and elsewhere has been made difficult and dangerous, no effort has been made by the authorities to interfere with it on the tracks of the Racing Trust. _Dependence_ Not that there are not “other eyes In Spain” as bright as yours can be, But that no eyes in all the world Can ever seem as bright to me. Not that there are not lips as sweet Kissed daily by each separate wind, But that no other lips to me Can seem so sweet, can be so kind. Sweetheart, I own myself your slave Because you own yourself my thrall; I—with so little, dear, to give; You—who so gladly give me all. REGINALD WRIGHT KAUFFMAN. _What Buzz-Saw Morgan Thinks_ BY W. S. MORGAN Paternalism is preferable to infernalism. When the gentleman with the cloven hoof collects what is coming to him there won’t be many bag barons left. The Beef Trust does business on a sliding scale; the price they pay slides down, and the price they sell at slides up. A pauper lives off the public, and so do those who make their money through special privileges granted them by law. As Bryan is losing prestige with the people he is becoming more popular with the plutocrats. The United States Senate should be rechristened and called the Corporations’ Cuckoo’s nest.
