SUNDAY RACING TAHOOHD.
"Anothsr hot fight occurred over the quo
tlon of Sunday racing. The extreme we
and the south were strongly In favor
sanctioning Sunday races. The fight w
headed by the northern California dlvlslo
although It was strange that the aoutlic :
California division was opposed to It. Tl
east fought the question hard .and It w ,
llnally downed.
"I believe that this talk that northern Cal
fornla will break loose from the league w
not end In anything , because I do not thlt
that the division can alTord It. It has n
more than a half dozen racing men , ai
these travel around the circuits during tl
racing ecason. And California can have n
the Sunday racing It wants If no complal :
Is made , The racing board will not sanctlt
Sunday racing , hut Itill overlook It mile
It Is brought to Its attention by complain
Only then will an Investigation be mai
that might result In suspension.
"If California should decide to break aw.-
I do not think that she would gain mai
supporters , although a few of , the .extren

I believe that she would gain much less su
port than If Rlllot had been elected pres

At Trinity Methodist Episcopal chur
yesterday morning Hov. F. II , Sanders !
D. D. , spoke on "The Ideal Nation , " si
gcsted by Washington's birthday. His te
was , "lUcsscd Is the Nation Whoso God
the Lord. "
The recognition of God by this nation
the secret of Its prosperity and stiprema
among the nations of the world. Was
Ington confessed thlu at Valley Forge
ho kneeled amid the snows ; Jackson cc
I'csscd this In the war of 1812 ; Lincoln co
fesssd It In the darkest and slormfullc
days that over rocked a nation ; and Gc
oral Grant confessed It when ho went up
Mount McGregor to die.
No nation has ever established and p (
pctuatcd a tolerable form of civil gover
mcnt which has not 'been dominated
thelstlc principles. Garibaldi said : "Ulbl
are the cannons which will cmajiclpa
Italy. " Greece perhaps maintained a'ere. !
ness without a belief In God the longe
period of any nation , yet It has been sal
"Had the vale of Tempo been Gethsemai
had Olympus been Calvary , the ambl
uotis i espouses of the Delphic Oracle be
the sure testimony of the word of God , th
had not the swaddling bauds that wrapp
her Infant liberty so soon have proved h
winding sheet. "
Persia , Egypt , Assyria , Homo were grc
nations , but a study of their history w
reveal the fact that they posscEoad certa
principles of rectitude. In consonance wl
the religion of the sklca. In the practice
thisu principles they flourished , but In a 0
parttiro from them they were thorn of thi
glory and perished. "The nation gr klngdc
that will not serve Thee shall perish. "
France stands forth on the ensanguln
page of history n fearful example of athcl *
Her Chamber of Deputies voted God fro
France , and set up the goddess of rcaoi
In His stead. Then after that atrocious 1
fa my the nation wallowed In the sllmo pi
of atheism , her priests were drowned , t !
guillotine struck off the headu of her be
men , the tercets ran red with blood , ai
for a whole century no man went to bed
night knowing what form of government t ;
kaleidoscope of Insurrection would turn t
the next morning.
AN IDEAL NATION.
As to our own nation , from the time tli
Columbus landed on these virgin shores i
to the present hour God has ever been n
Itnowledged by this government. In Ne
York Gavazzl arked , "What makes Amcrl
so great ? " and replied In his broken Englls
"Zo Ulble ! 7.c nible ! " I have no healtatli
In pronouncing this an Ideal nation , and b
llevo with Madam do Staol , who said to i
American , "You aie the advance guard
the human race. " Castellar , the great r
publican leader of Spain , looks upon ti
C3pltol at Washington as "tho summit
the modern world. "
Not one citizen of the United States wou
voluntarily exchange his residence for Huss
rttth Its Imperial autocracy and nihilism ;
Cicrmany with Its caesarlsm and socialist :
ir France with Its startling changes fro
monarchy to republic , to directory and bai
: galn ; or Italy with Its pictures , lies vatic ;
ind sovereign pontiff , with his proposv
; uard of COO soldiers. The United States
lot an pldorado or Utopia , but It Is nearer S
Thomas Moore's vision of a model counti
jr Plato's republic than any other land , I
ivho cannot see God In our history cannot si
Him In the passage of the Red sea or tl
Jordan , the detection of the Gunpowdi
I'lot , or the destruction of the Spanish A
uada.
God prepared In this wllderncsj of tl
iVcetern world an asylum of retugo and peac
ind freedom came and erected her altar
ellglon came and bullded her temples , cdi
? atlo n and civilization came and made the
: iomes on tho.so shores. It Is no light thli

First Sermon liy UP. Kali' at TrillH
Cnllifilral.
An audience that filled every seat In th
'paclous auditorium heard Hev. . Campbe
Pair at Trinity cathedral yesterday mon
ng. As Rev. Mr. Fair has been invited t
icccpt the vacant pastorate of the churc
ills first sermon before an Omaha congrt
; atlon was heard with more than the usus
legree of Interest. The speaker spoke o
he general subject of the past , present an
iiture of Jerusalem , taking for his text th
loclaratlon of Uie psalmist that accordln
oGod'n _ covenant with Abraham the Jew
vould yet be repossessed of Canaan ,
In the pulpit Hov. Mr. Fair Is a plal
ind undemonstrative speaker. Ills style c
iratory Is unpretentious , but ho talk
trnlght to his'hearers and his sentence
mvo the force of a thorough conviction. HI
llctlon Is scholarly and his enunciation I
ixueptlonally distinct and pleasing.
In discussing the past of Jerusalem th
peaker stated that as Palestine was th
enter of ( he geography of the world so th
o\v furnished the key to Its history
ndalsm , rightly understood , was the ro
Iglon of humanity. Hero centered all tha
undo tha history of the past and the dcstln ;
f the future. No event of history could b
uggcstcd that could not bo linked In soni
t'ay with either Homo or Jerusalem ; am
crusalem had existed 700 years before th
irst stones of Homo wcro laid. The hl.i
ory of Jerusalem was briefly recounted ti
ndlcato how remarkably It had been per
ictuated. It had been conquered succcs
Ively by the Romans , Persians , Saracen ;
nd Turks. It had been twenty-seven tlmei
esleged. It had been seven times ton
own and eight times rebuilt , but still re
nalns today.
Some of the present conditions of the cltj
, pcre cltod to show how faithfully the propho
les of the old testament had been fulflllec
nd the speaker declared that he firm ) ;
iclleved that the further fulfillment ot tin
irophecy would coma to pass , Ho bellevec
hat the Jews would again have posscssloi
f Palcjtlno and would build temples befori
, 'hlch the temple of Solomon would b'o
ome Insignificant. The eomowhat darliu
redlctlon was also made that the popt
, 'ould eventually be driven from Home bj
ho Italian government and that the two re
lglon& would ho united at Jerusalem.

A Good Story.
Once upon a time , ( Unit's the way all good stories
commence ) we couldn't sell a good Fedora hat less than
$2,75. Today , we sell a good one for 75c. A great :
many people will laugh at the idea 'of getting a good hat
for 75C , and yet these same people are renting houses
today for $12,00 or $15.00 that used to rent for $25.00 of
$30.00 , when we sold our cheapest Fedoras for $2.75.
Our 750 Fedoras have gros grain sillc bands outside ,
leatherette sweat bands inside , they 'are bound in good
quality binding and they are full fur Fedoras , but 'they
are not lined. Our dollar Fedoras are lined and are a
better grtide. Our $1.50 Fedoras arc wonderfully good
hats full of style , quality and wear. Lots of people pay
$3.00 for hats not a wliit better in any way or shape. It
is a remarkable fact about hats that the smarter a man is
the more apt he is to pay too much for his hat. That's
why some hat stores carry only certain brands. That's
also why three dollars' worth of hat and a nickel's worth
of name will be sold to a great many people this spring
for a five dollar bill. They think Mr. Somebody's name
is worth two dollar's , but it ain't not in this store it
ain't.
