The last guni' in the campaign
has been fired, Candidates and
party managers have made a final
reply to the various charges and
sensational attacks that have been
sprung at the last hour, with the
intention of making breaches in
the ranks of the other party. The
correspondents send a might be-
fore the battle story" with the
final claims of the respective
parties.
The count is on. BY the time
the polls close on the Pacific coast
the count is already well under
way in the New England and east
ern states. Ply 6 o'clock the press
and telegraph wires have been
cleared for the returns. Scatter
ing reports begin to be clicked off
like the first skirmish along the
line of battle.
By 10 o'clock the telegraph be-
gins to click off an endless stream
of figures from all parts of the
United States. 1t is like the rapid
fire of gatling gun, and under the
ceaseless bombardment many a
fairy castle of cherished hopes is
being shattered. Bitter disappoint
ment, plans that will never be car
ried out, hopes that will not be
realized, time wasted and hard
work of a campaign for naught;

The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says, "One of the
objections of the law is to inform the
consumer of the presence of certain
harmful drugs in medicines. The law
requires that the amount of chloroform,
opium. morphine, and other habit form

bottle. The manufacturers of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy have always
claimed that their remedy did not con-
tain any of these drugs, and the truth

Novelty to Purchase Everything One
Wants Soon Passes-lt is the
unbuyabIe Most
Desired.

NEW YORK, Nov 27.-In an article
to be published in the December of
Worlds Work, Rockefeller says it is
better to give than receive. The
novelty of being able to purchase ev-
erything one desires soon passes, he
says. What people most seek is the
unbuyable. Don't begHNbusiness with
the idea of getting all out of the world
by hook or crook you can; consider
where it can be most effective in the
work world. The only way in which
you can secure the real equivalent Of
money spent is cultivating a taste in
giving where the money will produce
an effect which will be a lifelong
qualification. The greatest problem of
his career, he says, has been the or
ganization of philanthropic enter
prises.

Waaner Wins Race.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Nov 27.-The
power of six score of horses. crashing
and roaring in thefylinders of Fiat
car, sent plunging along 402 miles of
roadway by Wagner. Thursday won
the most spectacular, longest and
fastest International automobile race
ever heia tnythts fsuntry Fate play
ed a game of hide-and-seek with three
grim and hooded figures that sat be-
hind the wheels and throttles and
fought with skill and daring for the
advantage of seconds at the finish of
more than six hours of racing.
1t was Just as the fifth of flying
minutes was ticking itself away that
Wagner drove to the line, and four
seconds later had crossed, the winner.
z Wagner is Frenchman. In 1906
Wagner won the Vanderbilt cup in a
French car, and his driving then over
the Long Island course was a replica
of the steady nerve and skill which he
displayed SO brilliantly in winning the
first grand prize of the Automobile
Club of America.
Wagner set new record for road
racing in this country. George Rob
ertson, in the Vanderbilt cup race OF
25S miles last month, set the mark at
G4.3 miles an hour. Today for the
longest distance of 402 miles Wagner
raised it to 65.5. He averaged 90
minutes to each one of the sixteen
laps that measured 25.13 miles. His
fastest lap was made in 81 so, but the
lap honors of the day went to De Pal
ma. at the wheel of Fiat No. IS, who
twice made the circuit in 21.36, an
average of about 70 miles an hour.
