TEN MILE RATE OF SPEED
Thought Eight Enough But
Ride in Machine Changes
His Mind

Automobiles and the speed at which
they should travel will probably be
discussed by City Council in commit
tee meeting tonight. The proposed or
dinance drawn up by City Solicitor
Robert @. Harman regulating the
speed OF such machines will be consid-
cred and with a few changes possibly
adopted.
Street and Sewer Commissioner A. l..
johnson previous to a trip in an auto
mobile. favored limiting the speed OF
autos to eight miles an hour, but since
his experience IN such a machine now
thinks ten miles an hour would not be
too much. This latter rate of speed is
favored by local automobilists and is
what they have been fighting for,
claiming that automobiles are made to
run at speeds of four miles, ten miles
and thirty-hve miles an hour. -Four
miles is low speed and ten miles is the
next speed. there being no eight-mile
speed in the majority Of automobiles.

old coins. He is an Italian but speaks
English fuently, and though still
young man, has possibly the finest col

founding Of Rome, The piece weighs
more than half pound and IS made OF
copper. on one side is a SOW, with
seven young, and three trees. On the
reverse side are ancient Greek letters
surrounding head reliefs Of man and
woman, possibly the rulers Of the eoun-
try in which the coin was minted. Mr.
MilanO carries the coin on his person In
a special leather case and it is in ex-
cellent condition.
Mr.. Milano has among other collec-
tions pennies made in this country OF
every year from 1898 to 1857 This col
lection of coppers is considered very
valuable and as the first penny in the
United States was coined in 1857 the

CHAINS AND SLAVERY.

TN HIS address IN Dover Senator
Il Fairbanks Is reported as speaking
Of Governor HUM in most eulogistic
terms. He is credited with the follow
Ing:
why. only a few moments ago your
Governor-honest, patriotic fearless
Governor HUM, and I always like TO
see a state with a big Governor--took
me TO sec a column IN your historic
state House, where slaves were chained
and beaten. But let me not bring back
things and memories Of the past. We
stand here today as a great patriotic
people; we love our country, we love
our flag. and we strive, every one Of
US FROM the depths OF his heart, to
lift our country up and up"
For some reason Senator Fairbanks
omitted such glowing encomiums Of
the Governor in his Wilmington speech.
Possibly he was aware that our people
have not been educated up to the
high ideals Illustrated by the HUM ad-
minlstration. We endorse the senti-
ment that everyone OF as should en-
deavor ito llft our country up and
up" but II It's elevation depends upon
our Hunns, our Laytons, our Allees
and Bradleys, We are obliged to con-
clude that our elevation win require
myriads Of aeons.
There is no use in decelving our
selves. in distorting history and N
glossing over facts. John Hum as a
governor has been a miserable fall1re.
He has consorted with the enemies OF
good government and his policy has
been dictated by them.
He took Mr.. Fairbanks to some mys-
terlous dungeon and dramatically
pointed out the chains that had beer
used IN the old days 70 bind slaves
But does not the Governor know that
there are chains not made Of iron. a',i
that they may be more degrading Than
physical fettersg Had John Hum
done his plain duty the law which dis
graces Delaware, under which thous-
ands Of colored men are bought al
every election, would have been wiped
out. That law was allowed to remain
because It would make It easy 10 buy
negroes, and thus to re-enslave tn nm.
After showing Senator Fairbanks
those chains he should have gone ovel
to the State House and have taker
from the archives bill entitled; "Ar
Act to Repeal an Act Entitled tht
Voters Assistant Act" He shoul,
have explained that he refused to sisi
this repeal bill because with it wipe,
out, the purchaser Of vote woul,

WATER BOARD PLANS.

VATD DON'T think that anybody who
w is fully informed Oh The question
OF an adequate water supply Tor VIII
mington viii doubt the wisdom of the
present plans OF the Water Commits
sion. These plans whei worked out
win place the works at the most desir-
able spot To take the water from the
Rockiand dam has long been the dream
Of those who have been aliye TO the
requirements Of our water problem.
But heretofore the dinieulties have been
REGARDED as insurmountable.
There have been certain water rights
enjoyed BY manufacturing concerns
along tho, stream. that are immensely
valuable. These rights are vested aud
can only be secured by the city by pur-
chase or condemnation. The probable
cost to the city has discouraged water
commissioners from undertaking the
erection OF works on the site now desig-
mated. But the project OF an immense
plant suitable to our needs for half
century and costing a sum probably
approximating si,oOO,OoO caused the at
tention OF the commission 20 turn to
the Rockland site.
Then It is to the credit Of these great
manufacturing concerns on the Bran
dywlne that they evinctd a disposition
70 take into consideration the city's
needs and to dispose OF their water
rights at a sum estimated by experts,
and which is IN no sense exorbitant.
The claims Of the DuPonts and Of tho
Bancrofts have been adjusted amic-
ably. and those OF the Jessup & Moore
Company are being determined by i'm
partial appraisers.
The commission has been fortunate,
too, IN securing the necessary land for
the works. including site for the plant
and concession for its pipe lines; and
Il appears that the needs Of the city
have been uppermost in the minds OF
both the purchasers and the sellers,
It is estimated that the water rights

the nature and extent Of the works

There is now a prospect Of plant
which viii sive us copious supply

location not only insures greater pur'

Calls For TaxstIon Of Railroad
Properties Under Local Ratss-This
Would Add s275,ooO a Year to Jersey
city's Income.
Trenton. n. j., Sept. 21.-In a state
convention that was both enthusiastic
and harmonious the Republicans of
New Jersey nominated former State
Senator Edward c. Stokes of Cumber-
land county for the governorship. The
nomination was made by acclamation
after nomination speeches had been
made by Senator Minch Of Cumber-
land. Prosecutor Speer Of Hudson and
Ex-Governor Foster NJ. Voorhees, Of
Union.
After the unanimous nomination of
Mr.. Stokes had been announced, the
nominee was escorted to the platform
and made a long speech accepting the
honor He dwelt at length on state
issues, paying particular attention to
the question Of equal taxation. Speak
ing Of the record Of the Republican
party during the past ten years he
said:
In all that time there have been no
coal combines, no attempted senate
steals, no race track scandals, no state
house frauds. no wholesale pardon of
criminals convicted of defrauding the
ballot. Search that ten years record
and there is 10 single act on the statute
books today for the repeal Of which
the people are asking"
Presidential Electors.
The following nominations of presi-
dental electors were made:
AT large, L. II. McCarter of Essex,
Washington A. Roebling of Mercer.
First district, Howard NJ. Cooper OF
Camden; Second Lewis T. Stevens Of
Cape May; Third, Lewis S. Thompson
of Monmouth; Fourth, Adolph Mack OF
Somerset; Fifth, Richard H. Williams
Of Morris; Sixth, J. Hull Browning
OF Bergen; Seventh, Henry Dickson Of
Essex; Eighth. Arthur B. Leach OF
Essex; Ninth, Jacob Ringle OF Hudson;
Tenth, Aaron S. Baldwin of Hudson.
The platform adopted by the conven-
tion provides for the taxation OF second
class railroad property at local rates.
This would add about 100000 to the
$1,50o,000 Of taxes paid annually by
the railroads In this state or the
100000 increase Jersey City alone
would receive about S275,0o0. This is
due to the fact that so much second
class railroad property is located in
that city. Second class railroad prop
erty is property used for railroad pur-
poses that is outside Of the main line
or main stem," as it is described in
the law.
The platform endorses the admins
trations of President Roosevelt and
Governor Franklin Murphy.
