Good For Motors and Roads.

Cleveland Leader.
The Glidden tour, which is the center
OF interest in automobile circles in this
country at present, is far more useful,
far more to the purpose, for all sane mo-
toring than the tremendous race run in
France on Tuesday. In contests which
result in an average speed Of s. or "a
miles an hour for five or six hours over
country roads, the reclxlessness of the
men who drive the machines is one Of the
chief factors in the outcome. The spec
tacle is largely juggling with human life.
The reliability of the automobiles used
for everyday wear cuts comparatively
a small figure in the work Of specially
equipped racing machines
It is the commonest thing in the world
now for automobiles to have more speed
than they ought to use. except on race
tracks. There are endless varieties of
engines which develop more than suff-
Client power for the sane and safe enjoy
ment OF motor cars. The practical aues-
tons for buyers TO consider are reliabil-
ity for everyday use, economy, durability,
ease Of operation, convenience, comfort
and other points which have nothing
TO do with races run at a mile a minute
or better.
Such features OF motor cars come into
play in the long road tests like the Gid
den tour.

VERY RICH CUTTING EXPENSES.

a result of the hard times the million
aires Of New York city have begun to re-
duee their living expenses An investigation
shows that the living expenses of the very rich of
New York will be reduced about SIs.oooooo dur
ing the next few months which, of course. means
that less money will be distributed Families that
have been accustomed to live at the rate OF
quarter OF million dollars year will cut down
their expenses TO at least $4,000.
Even the cafes OF Gotham are being affected.
The sensible people" says the famous Oscar. of
me waldorf, are cutting down the size of their
tips" but he adds "the hangers on are more law
ish in their tips than ever merely for the pur
pose of putting on a bold front"
The situation has become such that Mr.. Tohn
John d. Archbold, one of the Standard Oil mac
mates, declares that people must stop spending
money thoughtlessly, and he proposes to put his
precepts into action.
Of course there will be the complaint that the
refusal OF the rich to distribute their money wilp
cause harm to those dependent upon them. There
is some truth in this statement, but if the money
Evening journal., 1908-07-16

is not spent in luxury and extravaganza it will
ind its way into some productive enterprise and
channels of trade so that there will be no lack Of
what is really lasting benefit.
Luxury and extravaganza of the very rich does
not aid the general wealth or permanent prosper
ity of the nation. If So Rome might have been
in existence to-day as the mistress of the world,
but the history of Rome is that decline in the
nation follows an excess of luxury and extrava-
gance.
Suppose, for instance, that the money squan-
dered by the families of the multi-mllionaires in
their efforts to outdo each other was devoted to
building comfortable homes for the working peo-
pie, how much greater in every way would the
benefit be7 Riotous living both for the state and
the individual who INDUCES in it, is like the
apples of Sodom
This applies as a general rule but expenditures
on the part of those who very rich would be
beneficial in times of industrial depression. Then,
if ever, is extravagance by those who very
rich beneficial to the community But the rule
seems to be that instead of spending when their
money would be beneficial if circulated in any
way, the very rich, like others, are disposed to
retrench during financial setbacks.

Editorial Opinion
An "UnoIo Remus" Memorial.

An Uncle Remus" Memorial
Savannah News.
Yes. there should be an Uncle Remus"
memorial And we like the idea Of max
ing it a park Not big and pretentious
park with painted iron Dianas and stucco
sphynxes and things like those in it, but
nice and cozy park with plenty OF
trees and grass and some iowerbeds. with
possibly a tar baby" spring bubbling
out Of a pile OF native rocks and gold
fishes swimming around in the basin.
The flowers should be those native kinds
that live and thrive in the Georgia hills
and valleys and brighten the gardens and
perfume the atmosphere Of the old home
stead. There should be some rosemary
for remembrance, some pansies for
thoughts and some rue for regrets; and
there should be an occasional sprig OF
catnip for the benefit Of the Creatures"
that might accompany the children into
the little park. OF course, the creatures"
should be permitted in the park within
the limits Of reason, for Mr.. Harris had
a place for them in his gentle heart along
with his love for children; and it would
have pleased him to know that his very
own memorial would be the means Of
affording enjoyment to his best loved
friends
The gateway to the nice little park
should be guarded by efhgies Of "Brer
Rabbit" one on each side, and about the
grounds there could be placed other eff
gies Of the characters that people "Unce

DELAwAREs ALLIANCE WITH GUFFEY

T IS evident that the alliance of the Delaware
- Democrats with Mr. Guffey, of Pennsyl-
vania, not pleasing to many Democrats of
this State On the other hand it was doubtless
satisfactory to large number Of Democrats-the
Bryan haters.
1t is true that Bryan acted in a high-handed
manner in overriding the wishes Of the so-cailed
Democrats OF Pennsylvania by the extraordinary
manner in which Guffey and his satellites were
ousted. And it is true that the opponents of
Bryan have made desperate effort to defend
Guffey from the antocratic rule of Bryan Yet
how could any man familiar with the political
methods of Colonel Gufey and his Management
OF party in one Of the largest States of the
Union, shed tears when the steam roller crushed
him?
1t is unusual for national conventions to inter
fere in State politics, but they sometimes do so
as was nstanced when the Republican National
Convention interfered with our own political
situation in Delaware in 1906
But the domineering exhibition of Bryan will
surely cost him the votes of those Democrats who
have been opposed to him in States where the old
conservative sentiment is still strong

Wants Woodland Beach Improved.

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
In June 1871 l was attracted to the
vicinity of Woodland Beach, formerly
known as Bombay Hook, in quest Of
cordwOod for the Philadelphia market.
Enoch Spruance, I'd. was the owner Of
the land which was cut from the maple
swamps lying between the farming
lands between Smyrna and the fast
land known as Woodland
AS II turned out I never had another
opportunity of seeing Woodland until
a few days ago, when 1 went there
on the excursion Of Grace Church and
was greatly impressed with the change
wrought by time and men. From what
had seen in the papers, had formed
very unfavorable opinion Of Wood
land Beach as a pleasure resort, but
after landing with the other excur-
sionists, I strolled across the grounds
Y here the building and places of amuse-
ment are located near the shore to
the grove, only a few hundred yards
west from the wharf, which to my
astonishme ent 1 saw to be the prettiest
grove and the most beautiful natural
sight for a summer resort that it had
ever been my privilege to see. A small
tract of woodland, it would present it,
self to the casual observer as a mound
brought about by the ingenuity Of
men. 1t is a most ideal spot without
walk, shrub, flower or pavilion. Be
sides all OF these natural advantages.
there are ample shade trees that have
been planted by some former owner,
perhaps about 80 years ago.
Now, let us get back to where we

(and though slightly DEPRESSING, I feel
impelled to say that it has been said
and is written that God moves in a
mysterious way His wonders to per-

the afore mentioned cordwood was, has
all been laid waste from the affect
Of high tides and devastating winds.
until there we now find a sheet Of per-
haps in some measure stagnant water
separating woodland from the fertile
rural districts and almost insulating
this God-favored spot from the outside
world. And If the country authorities
will consider for a moment that they
are public servants and have the pub
lie interest at heart, they would GER
tainly see and feel that this is a sub
Ject worthy of consideration. If with
the proviso that the owners OF Wood
land are men worthy of such an enter
prise and have the fear OF God before
their eyes TO refrain from violation OF
the Sabbath and 10 restrain others from
doing so to maintain a resort worthy
of the respect Of all thinking
people, then they are public benefac-
tors and are entitled TO the aid and
cooperation Of the county authorities

APPOINTMENT OF MAJOR DEAKYNE.

nESPITE the fact that the government has
- issued orders transferring Major Flager
TO Fort Leavenworth, Kan, a few members of
the Board of Trade and others appear, according
TO reports, to be pursuing what seems to us to be
a fantastic course
If the government permitted various delega-
tions of cities to interfere with its military ORDERS
permitted citizens to run the War DEPARTMENT,
what condition of chaos things would soon be
in.
The order has been distinctly given to Major
Flager to turn over to Major Herbert Deakyne,
OF the Philadelphia office his command and that
the government knows what it is doing is illus
trated by the fact that Major Deakyne is a Della
ware man, who will live right here in New Cas-
tie. The fair presumption is that Naor Deakyne
will be as much interested in Delaware and the
needs of this region as Major Fiagler ever could
be Major Deakyne is a West Pointer, gradual
ing at the head Of his class at the military acad
envy. He has had fine record in the army.
What more do the persons who have started
this agitation to interfere with Major Faglers
promotion and the woek of the government
want?

CAMPAIGNS IN DELAWARE.

1T SEEMS improbable that we shall have an
old-time campaign in Delaware this year. In
the days gone by there was bitter feeling aroused
among the partsans. Meetings were frequent
brass bands were out and the State was alive with
orators OF recent years this has passed away
One of the reasons is that the issues have not
tended to arouse great bitterness.
twenty-five years ago the Republicans be-
eved that they did not have a fair ballot that
the vote was suppressed and that we were living
under an ogarchy that ruled without the con-
sent of the majority, but by means of political
manipulation
Since the Republicans have been in power this
has been changed and each party has an equal
chance before the law If any unfair means are
used, if assessments are padded and if money is
unduly employed in elections, it is because
political leaders are too Indifferent to stop such
practices. They could be stopped.
This apparent absence of partisan feeling, how
ever should not cause voters to take less interest
in politics They should bestir themselves in the
nominations. 1t is at the nominations that the
voters have every opportunity to make them
selves felt
There are some elements that of course will be
active in the political situation. For instance the
corporations will in this campaign as in the past,
try to see that their interests are protected by
securing as many men the ticket of each party
possible. These interests are always sue
cessful in this endeavor Then the temperance
and the anti-temperance elements will be on deck
watching in the same manner to secure their
friends on the tickets of each party. Therefore
there may be some concern in the nominations
that will call out a large vote at the primaries.
