By Associated Press. '
New York, June 21, The running
of the English derby, under the sen
sational incidents which marked the
recent racfe at 'Epsom Downs, again
v;auB uiLeiiuuu iu . w nat is without a
doubt the greatest, individual sporting
event of the year! in point of inter- j
national Importance Established
in ;
780 by the Earl of Derby it is ante-!
dated by but few turt fixtures and has !
radually surpassed In world-wide in
terest ail other races of similar
barter. The outcome of no other
ontest is awaited the world round
with the interest that is manifested in
the running of the derby. ,
This is not due entirely- to senti-
mental reasons, however, since wag-1
erlng on the result is a part of the
Briton's education. No matter In what
part of the globe he may be quartered
the Englishman and his brother of
the colonies , must have something
down -on the derby either In the form
of a straight wager or a pool selection.
Statisticians : have endeavored many
times to estimate the aggregate
amount at stake In this race and have
invariably give Up the task in des
pair. That the total sum runs Into
millions of dollars is not questioned. .
It is customary for the employees
of every big mercantile plant, factory
and similar concern to organize a pool
montns oetore ines running or tne
derby. The - officers and soldiers of
the British regiments (Stationed In all
parts' of the world, follow suit. Sail-1
ors of all degrees ' under ' the Union
Jack also have their, i pools. In
Canada- South ?TAlLVica; '.'Australasia,
India . and all the other British set
tlements and possessions wagering
and pools on the Derby continue, al
most the year round. Scarcely has
one race entered turf history before
the next is being considered by the
holders of winning and losing tickets
alike.
Since tho winning of a sum of the ,
magnitude represented by some of the !
derby pools is the, event of a lifetime
It is easily understood why the hold
ers of tickets on the favorites haunt
the telegraph and cable offices In all
parts of the world on derby day. The
flashing of the winner's name fre
quently means a sum running Into
thousands for the lucky ticket owner.
In the case of the 1913 Derby gloom
followed joy for the victory of the 3
to 2 favorite Craganour had hardly
been announced before there came a

correction stating that Craganour had

JUDGES VIEW DF
PRESS CRITICISM
Smith McPherson Says Bench
Should Invite ., Fair and.
Considerate Comment.
By Associated Press.
Colorado Springs, Colo., June 19.
"No judge has ever yet maintained his
dignity and never will by bringing an
editor before the court and punishing
him because of animadversions made
through the columns of the newspaper.-
v. . .
"It would be helpful to the courts
If editors of learning and character
would In a dignified and intelligent
manner discuss the rulings of the
courts, whether by commendation or
whether by adverse criticism."
These statements were made In a
paper by Smith McPherson, United
States district judge, Southern district
of Iowa, which was read before the
National Press association. Judge
McPherson did not attend the
meeting of the association. In his pa
per, which was entitled "Liberty of
the Press," he discussed in a general
way, the relations that should exist
between the courts and the newspa
pers. "Intelligent criticism is invited," said
Judge McPherson. "Slang-and vitu
peration are despised by the Judge,
and as I believe by the intelligent of
the public. Substantial and honest
and matured criticism is of a great
aid to the courts, as well as an edu
cator of the public. Criticism at'ran
dom tends to make a judge Careless.
Criticism of newspapers should be of a
kind, and none other, than the editor
would use in conversation with, the
judge. Then there would be no bit-
fnt-noaa hut a - iiaofu! avdViamrA if
J views. And with such criticism, prog
ress will be made, because such criti
cism is within the limits of "freedom
of the press" and not a mere license
for which there is no remedy, and no
resulting good. . Let,.edltor and .writ
ers be gentlemanly towards the Judge.
And let judges have a due regard to
the freedom of the press. The public
will then be the boneficlaries."
In the beginning of his paper. Judge
McPherson said he wished the rc'a
tionship between the courts and the
press were more fair and sincere than
it is. s :
CourtH fiw Freedom of the. Press.
'The freedom of the press Is one
of the Institutions of this country, and
us such will ever exist, and rightly
so, he continued. "Ana no one ne
ves in this more than do the courts,
was but recently that the courts
it
righteously, against terrlff pressure,
prevented the dragging of editors, one
of them nearly a thousand miles, to
make answer to an alleged libel. One
recital in the declaration of independ
ence against England, was to effect
that Americans were carried beyond
seas for trial. When a court in
Washington city, backed by strong
pressure and great power, sought to
drag a New York city and an Indian
apolis editor to Washington city, be
cause of editorials with reference to
the Panama canal, It was the courts
that stamped It as an outrage, and
decreed that such oppression could
not exist in a free country. The
literature found in the published re
ports of the courts show that the
newspapers, their editors and publlBh
crs. will not plead in vain for protec
lion by the courts. ThiB protection
will bo given because It Is Just that it
should be bo. And the courts should
be fairly considered by the press,
Impatience Causes Criticism.
In speaking of the press, I have
but little to say about the scandalmon.
gers and the so-called 'yellow Journal.
They are outlaws, and are entire!
beyond the pale of respect by tne
courts and decent citizens generally.
We Judges have no remedy as against
them. It Is Idle to talk about nring
Ing actions, either civil or criminal
for libel, because such actions are ex
pensive, and usually ludicrous if not
farcical. Most newspapers, like most
men, are sincere aa to their utterance.
Their unfair criticisms come from
luck of information. They are too
imnatlent to strike.
"In speaking of the rclatlona that
do. or ought to, exlat between the
newspapers and tho courts, there are
a number of fundamental error,
which, like cobwebs, ahould be brush
ed away. One of these errors Is In the
fact that a great many of the Judges
Hppmlnidv believe that because they
wear the robes of office, they are and
ahould be beyond .criticism. That la
fallacy. I believe as much as does
anyone In maintaining the dignity of
the courts and that the people ahould
have reepect for the courta. But
a Judge aurely must command re'
spect In some other way than by
making this argument. He cannot
command respect by becoming a re
cluse, n6r by wearing a allk hat or a
morning frock coat, or a white tie, or
by speaking In gutteral tones I

By Associated Press.
Nashville, Tenn., June 21. -In the
Tennessee house of representatives to- :
day, a number of extra Sergeants-at
arms were appointed, the entrance
guarded and the bill amending tho
election law suddenly called up and
passed over the governor's veto, 54
to 18. The effort to pass this bill over
the veto was undertaken by the "reg
ular" democrats during the absence of
a quorum. The amendment In that
shape is now pending before the su- ,.
preme court.
The amendment transfers the con
trol of the state machinery from the
fusionists to the "regular" democrats
and to prevent Its passage over the
governor's veto, was one of the main
causes of the recent fusion filibuster
to Middlesboro, Ky. The amendment
was called up this morning just after ...
the house had passed the bill provid
ing for short term loans to care for
the state debt. Fusionists were pre
vented from breaking a quorum by
the extra sergeants-at-arms at the -barred
doors.
In the pending litigation over the
election law amendment, the "regu
lar" democrats have heretofore relied
upon the fact that the house journal
had not been allowed to show the lack
of a quorum, when the effort was
made to pass the measure- over
the governor's veto during the ftllbus- -
ters then being counted as simply "not
voting." The amendment has passed ,
the senate in due form.
, What bearing today's action will -have
on the pendihg-litigation is not -yet
apparent. The action threatened
to provoke a storm in the house, but
resulted In only Impassioned speeches.
