Talks of Financial Stress.

1--WE have just passed through two
months of acute financial stress AT
any such time it is a sad fact that en-
tirely innocent people, suffer from no
fault of their own; and every one must
feel the keenest sympathy for the
large body of honest business men, OF
honest investors, of honest wagework-
ers. who suffer because involved in
crash for which they are in no way
responsible. At such a time there is
natural tendency on the part of many
men to feel gloomy and frightened at
the outlook; but there is no justitica-
ton for this feeling. There is no ma
ton so absolutely sure of ultimate sue
cess as ours. OF course we shall sue
ceed Ours is nation of masterful
energy, with continent for its domain,
and it feels within its veins. the thrill
which comes to those who know that
they possess the future. We are not
east down by the fear OF failure. We
are upheld by the confident hope of ul-
innate triumph. The wrongs that ex-
ist are to be corrected; but they in no
way justify doubt as to the final out
come. doubt as to the great material
prosperity of the future, or of the lofty
spiritual life which is to be built upon
that prosperity as foundation. No
misdeeds done in the present must be
permitted to shroud from our eyes the
glorious future of the nation; but be-
cause of this very fact it behooVes us
never to swerVe from our resolute pur-
pose to cut out wrongdoing and uphold
what is right. l do not for a moment
believe that the actions of this admin
istration have brought on business dis
tress; so far as this is due to local and
not world wide causes and to the &C
lions of any particular individuals, II
is due to the speculative folly and fla
grant dishonesty of a few men of great
wealth. who seek to shield themselves
from the effects of their own wrong
doing by ascribing it's results to the
actions of those who have sought to
put a stop to the wrongdoing. But IL
it We're true that to cut out rottenness
from the body polite meant a mo-
mentary check to an unhealthy
seeming prosperity, l should not for
one moment hesitate to put the knife
to the corruption On behalf of all
our people. on behalf no less of the
honest man of means than of the hon
est man who earns each days llveli-
hood by the days sweat of his brow It
is necessary to insist upon honesty in
business and in politics alike, in all
walks of life. in big things and in little
things: upon just and fair dealing as
between man and man. Those who
demand this are striving for the right
in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln" said
the president in conclusion.

Big Corporations Are Hit.

BY easy stages the president drew near
to the Standard Oil trouble of short

methods Of the Rockefeller syndicate to
"Overawe common carriers, crush out
every competitor and look down upon the
people with n contempt which the pu6he
deserves as long as II permits suGh men

point and in connection with the insur-

Mr. Roosevelt took the heaviest ran OUT

The keynote Of all these attacks upon

FIRST SHIPMENT OF
1909 CORBIN COMES
NEW SEvEN-PASSENGER CAR
R0OMY AND ELEGANT
Latest Model of Auto with Unit Power
Plant and Suspension Shows De-
siener Found Little Change
Necessary

e. A Huene received his first ship
ment of 1909 Corbins this week IN the
shape of one of the new even-passen-
ger cars.
There is little change in the entire
Corbin line as observed in this first ar
rival. The Corbin designers seem to
have had one of those happy inspira-
tions resulting in a general mechanical
layout which proved right from the
start several years ago, and conse-
quently the car has needed no funda-
mental changes since. AS always, there
remains the unique unit power plant
and suspension. The under half of the
aluminium motor crank case is carried
back and around the fiywheel, where 1t
ends in fange to which is bolted an
extension apron of the under half of
the aluminium gear box. Thus the
under half only forms the unit assem-
bly,, while the upper halves OF both
crank case and gear box are not con-
nected, instead leaving the upper half
of the fiywheel, contained clutch and
shipper arm and Oldham coupling to
gear box as completely open for in
spection and quick disassembling as
in the ordinary seperate unit type OF
cars.
This whole power unit is primarily
hung on a large aluminium cross-arm
at the front of motor, bolted to either
frame member, the rear hub OF the
gear box resting upon a cfoSS-IrdIne
member There is also a secondary
flexible support the whole length of
the power plant in the form of steel
pen, Is inch thick, reaching from the
frame members to the power unit. This
construction makes any further mud
pan unnecessary and gives unusual I'M
derbody clearance. All motor bearings
are readily taken up through liberal
sized quick-removabl side plates on
the upper half of the motor crank case.
There Is but one nickel steel through
bolt to each hinged connecting rod that
needs removal for taking up gear. This
bolt and all shims, are to the front,
facing inspection plates, and novice
can take up all four bearings in twenty
minutes. As before, there is an entire
absence of cap screws, stud bolts.
feather keys and taper pins. Every
fastening is by through bolts with cas-
tellated nuts and squared ends with
draw bolts.
The only real changes for 1909 consist
of compromising the clutch lever, MAX
ing service brake a contracting band
on outside OF rear wheel drums, adding
foot gas accelerator and muff1er cut
out, placing steering rod behind front
axle where 1t has better protection, IN
creasing the size of the radiator and
bonnet and making the whole more
elegant and roomy

THOMAS IS EXPELLED
BY NEW JERSEY CLUB
FAILS TO ANSWER THREE SEP
ARATE SUMMONS
Secrecy Maintained as TO Discussion
Relative TO Expulsion, but Cause
Is Ascribed to Reckless
Driving

After having set three different dates
upon which L. r. Thomas, the well
known New York motorist, who is
often confused with the motor car man
ufacturer, e. r. Thomas, should ap-
pear before it, the New Jersey Automo-
bile and Motor club of Newark took
drastic action in the matter. After a
four-hour session, which was largely
given over to discussion of the case,
Thomas was expelled from the club.
The utmost secrecy is being pre-
served regarding the discussion over
the proposal to expel and the vote by
which expulsion was carried. The
board OF directors was in session for
more than four hours, and it is said
that the discussion was spirited and at
times very heated There was evidently
| considerable opposition to expelling the
accused before he appeared in person.
but the advocates of immediate expul-
sion finally carried the day.
1t is said that in the course of his
| fight against expulsion Thomas spent
considerable amount of money He
was represented by counsel from New
York, and every effort was made to
prevent. or at least delay, his election
from the club. 1t was rumored that
more than the mere fact of his mem
bership in the organization is at stake.
in accident insurance. and upon the
action of the club depended, to some
extent, whether 1t should be paid. 1t
is believed that his expulsion will be
followed by his loss of a New Jersey
license and operate against him in the
prosecution for overspeeding and Grim
inal carelessness. In Thomas behalf
Charles I. McBurney of New York
stated that the only evidence presented
of n hin fha form of
affidavit, signed by a man named Co
hen, who was sitting on his porch on
Ocean avenue, Long Branch, on the day
of the accident and who affirmed that
Mr.. Thomas went down the street at
the rate of eighty miles an hour"
"Just imagine a, man trying to drive
car down that avenue at o'clock In
the afternoon at that speed. 1t Is pre-
posterous," Mr.. McBurney added.
There are eleven members of the
board of directors of the club, of whom
nine were present at the meeting.
The wreck in which Thomas was hurt
occurred at the corner of Cedar and
Ocean avenues. in Long Branch, on
Friday night, August IA. Thomas was
driving his 800 horsepower Hotchkiss
car, and 1t was said that from the time
Thomas left the Deal casino for his
Brookdale farm the car was going at
a rate of fully sixty miles an hour. The
car struck a carriage containing Mrs.
Hyman Cohen of New York. her
daughter and the coachman, Daniel
Connolly. Both horses were hurt so
badly that they had to be shot. The
coachman suffered 81 broken leg and
was otherwise injured. The women
were unhurt. Thomas sustained an in
Jury to his right knee and had to be
taken to a hospital. He has not yet
recovered At the time Of the accident
several other drivers narrowly escaped
by driving onto the sidewalk
