WATCH HIS GAME

The political gossips of the nation
al capital are discussing the
action of the president IN demanding
that Secretary George B. Cortelyou,
of the commerce and labor depart
ment, be made the chairman of the
republican national COMMITTEES. In
the eyes of the politically wise, this
move means nothing less than that
the president intends to run his own
campaign in his own way, for surely
Mr.. Cortelyou, while he is said to be
the incest kind of fellow personally,
has had no experience whatever in
the management of national cam
paigns. He has been and now is
nothing more than clerk at the
head Of bureau and all his political
experience has been. confined to just
such work. While Roosevelt's work in
national campaigns has been more ex-
tensive, yet he has as much idea of
conducting a campaign as hog has
of navigating a ship. Together they
will make sorry mess Of the thing
and it is an open secret that among
the leaders of the republican party
they are not breaking their tear wells
over the thing and do not give a con-
tinental how badly Roosevelt is de-
feated.
The truth the matter, however,
is that the president was satisfied
that he had all the old fat.frying re-
publicans placed in q corner, and
knocked out to . finish 90 far as the
campaign fund is concerned. because
Carnegie had Hgreed to put up . mil
lion dollars. and he had further
feAtherod his nest in the Panama Ca
nal deal to the extent of several more |
millions for the campaign fund, which
gave him all he really needed, or at
least thinks he may need, and he
therefore became very cocky. He
now proposes to run things as he
pleases and refused to take the dying
suggestion of that prince of practical
politicians, Matthew Stanley Quay,
that the selection Of Cortelyou for
chairman Of the republican national
was an egregious blunder.
He intends to run things his own
way by keeping this new and un-
lodged politician at the head of
Kings, thinking thereby to fool the
'eople into believing that he cares

Two Feasts For the Society

On Tuesday, the fourteenth, we
were especially pleased when Mrs.
Somerville told us that she expected
Mrs. G.. L. Wrenn, of Gunnison, at
her home that afternoon and cordially
invited us to meet her there at 5 80
o'clock. Quite goodly representa-
zion of our society was present at the
appointed time and listened with real
pleasure to Mrs. Wrenn's report of
the thirteenth annual session of the
Woman's Home Mission Society which
convened at Holly Springs May 1918.
This report showed that much good
work is being done by the Woman's
Home Mission Society of the North
Conference, and that dur
ing the past year there has been
3 decided growth in membership and |
cash collections.

+. Green of the Bark Well known
in Savannah.
The bark Grace Deering will sail
from Savannah for Porto Rico this
morning carrying $50 cottages and a
cargo of other stuff to be used by
government officials at a number of
posts on the island. The cottages
are, of course, represented merely by
the material, but as this has all been
cut to just the proper sizes, planed,
mortised and in every other, way pre-
pared so that nothing will be need
ed in the way of work except to fit
and fasten together the various parts,
they may just as we'll be considered
complete houses.
How complete the outfit of each
is may be gathered from the fact that
the materials include not only sashes,
doors and blinds, but picket fences
as well, so that not only will the cot
tages be complete, but the enclosure
of the grounds about each will also
be taken care of. In addition to this
cargo the bark is also carrying 100
tons of dead weight cargo, also con-
signed to the officials of the United
States government in the island.
The material for the cottages,
fences, etc, was prepared in various
mills of this state and assembled here
for shipment. Mills of Atlanta, Au-
gusta, Macon and other points have
contributed to filling the orders.
The cargo is to be delivered at no
one point, but at several, among them
being Culebra, Fardo, Nogroba Hum
coaw and Punta Ysabel. The cargo
is shipped by the Pitch Pine Lum-
Der Company of New York through
McDonough & Co. of this city.
Capt. Edward F. Green, who is in
command of the Grace Deering, is one
of the regular visitors to this port,
where he is not only well known. but
very popular. He has been for many
years engaged in the trade between
the United States and South Ameri-
can ports. He enjoys the distinction
of having brought to this port some

TRAVEL TO SUMMER

RenI, However, Say Carriers.
There has been the usual amount OF
travel from Savannah to summer re-
sorts this season as heretofore. Some
of the roads report business not quite
so good, while others have made bet
ter showing than last year.
II has been suggested that the fall
ing off shown by some roads was more
apparent than real, and that many
took advantage of the low rates to the
Worlds Fair to make that trip and
stopped at the summer resorts on their
way back thus failing to appear on the
railroad records as bound for their
summer outing.
An increased movement towards re-
sorts along the Eastern coast is also re-
ported from Atlantic City as far
south as Tybee.

REGULATING SPEED
OF AUTOMOBILES.
Bill Introduced in Legislature Finds
Cold Comfort Here.

Cold Comfort Here.
BY bill introduced in the Legisla-
ture Tuesday it is sought to regulate
the speed of automobiles>to three miles
an hour when approaching a vehicle,
six miles when turning a curve and
not over twenty miles on straight
roads.
Savannah has a large number of
automobilists and dealers, so that con-
siderable interest in this city has been
aroused by the proposed measure.
In speaking of the law Mr.. C. H.
Sawyer of the Electric Supply Com
pany said:
The automobile people ought to
look after legislation. While they
would have no objection to sensible
legislation, and such that can be con-
scientiously lived up to, the scheme
proposed is beyond the limit.
Three miles an hour is slower than
buggy. 1t is a fact that stopping
for a horse that is shying will be worse
than to go on by. In one case the
machine passes before the horse has
time to do much, while in the other
the horse would have unlimited OPP
pOrtunitieS to cut up.
Just the other day I was out in a
machine. We passed a horse very
slowly, and the animal gave consider
able trouble l advised that next time
we go a little faster, and the effect
was much more satisfactory to the
owner of the horse.
1.-The horse may jump once. but that
is all. That is where the auto comes
up behind. While it would be better
when coming towards the horse to
go at moderate speed, to go as slow
as three miles an hour would be alb
surd. That is slower than a walk.
Il do not mind seeing a law regu-
lating the speed of automobiles but
it should be one that could be lived
up to.
Another good thing would be to
furnish drivers of all kinds of vehicles
with road rules. Many Automobiles
do not know which is the proper side
to pass vehicle. and the drivers OF
horses who do not know this point
are much more numerous"
Mr.. R. V. Connerat said:
Il had not seen anything about the
bill. I say quit legislating for auto
mobiles and put lamps on some of the
hay stacks" .s
Mr.. t. A. Bryson, when asked as
to the regulations, said:
1T seems too much to ask that ar
automobile shall creep along at any
such a speed as three miles an hour
Approaching is an indefinite term II
might mean long distance away oil
a very short distance.
stopping in the road would frighter
a horse perhaps as much as a speed
of about six miles an hour. 1 my
self do not approve of too great a rate
of speed, as the operator ought al
ways to be able to stop the automo-
bile when horses might take fright
Rounding a curve is more dangerous
to the riders than anybody else"
