Horse racing Jbeing the king's sport in England, there were any number of seasoned "tipsters" oc cupying speakers' stands, . from .which they would lecture on their prowess wlthj regard to "picking the winner," and then Invite the crowd to "follow them to the gate" outside of which they would stand and sell their "cards" (con taining the, name or names of pos sible winners for the following week's, races) at a shilling or two., per, card. Gambling In connection with horse racing has reached the pro portions of a national evil, if I may Judge from public utterances heard In this respect. It is -al most as bad -nas the drink curse. Perhaps s6m would consider the evil of gambling the worse of - the two. Either is bad enough and I am humbly thankful that our fair country, is not given over to one or thje other in the. same way it seems England is. -- As for the drink question, it must be atate'd that the English are frank and "open" about ; i, which?' none can criticize.

" Turning . to the farm question, with which the senate is wrestling, he said that compared to the Eu ropean tillers of the soil, the American farmer lives in comfort. "He is a business, man," he added, "and as in every other bus iness, he has' his good times and his bad times good times under a protective tariff and bad times under the lack of it. The general tariff bill of 1922 included, pro tective rates on all of the farm staples which had been subjected to ruinous competition of cheaply produced foreign staples. This was the first tariff which really extended a fair measure of pro tection " to the produce of our farms. "A protective duty was placed upon the principal products the farmer has to sell, while no' duty was levied on the articles -mostly used by him. What was the re sult to the farmer?
