Detroit, Mich-The three days
| celebration in Detroit for the start
of the 1909 Glidden tour was
| brought to close by a six-hour trip
| up the st. Clair river on the City of
Cleveland, a magnificent steamer,
| where the 400 Glidden visitors were

tivities wound up by the concert given
| by the Maxwell Briscoe band at the
Hotel Pontchartrain after the excur-
sion was finished.
Last evening found all the teams Of
drivers and mechanics of the various
cars in bed early to prepare for the
strenuous run today to Kalamazoo.
The last meeting of the drivers, OBJ
servers and entrants was held and the

Ferguson, secretary of the contest
board. concerning this years run. AS
| is usual at the start of every Glidden
| tour, there Is talk of it's being the last
! to be held, but to offset this there is
also talk Of the next tour being held
| in 1910 from Boston to San Francisco.
Plans for Next Year.
Charles ]. Glidden, the donor Of the
| Glidden trophy, came out from a
meeting of the contest board with the
report that such a run had been dis
| cussed by the contest board and
| vrh ln toll
| present seemed to be in favor of such
| a run.
There was a little rain last night,
| but not enough to seriously interfere
with the start today. Nine o'clock is
| the time scheduled that d. II. Lewis.
the pathfinder and confetti man, will
| leave Cadillac Square in front of the

by Minneapolis will number between
$50 and 200 people.
| Longer and More Severe.
| The sixth reliability contest is 900
miles longer and more severe in every
| way than any of its predecessors.
| Only three of the Is days run call for
less than $50 miles and the last day
of the tour demands that the machines
ewes 212.S miles from Salina, Kan,
to Kansas City.
That there will be few, if any, per.
| feet scores is the general prediction of
| the veterans who have made other re-
| liability runs, and the more pessimis-
tic predict that some Of the cars will
not stay in the run as far as Denver.
All of the drivers approach the
Western roads with healthy respect
for their difficulties.
Three different trophies are the
prizes for which the several classes
of machines will contest during the
run. Thirteen touring cars are enter
ed for the Glidden trophy, from which

Would Censor News.

The most extraordinary news that
has come from Washington in many
years is the proposal to censor news OF
| movements of the United States army
and navy in time of war We have
been brought up to believe that free
dom of the press was something which
no person in the United States would
attempt to tamper with in any manner
The Washington Post gives publicity
to scheme, said to be under consid-
GRAFTON in the War Department, for the
enactment by Congress of laws making
an American newspaper accountable
for news of the country's fighting
force printed during periods of hostil-
ity. 1t is claimed that such action in
Japan during the war with Russia
whereby the publication of certain
classes of news was prohibited, was a
large factor in the success of the VIC
tors
The article states that several Off
GERS have made a minute study Of the
privileges and limitations of the war
correspondents of foreign nations and
that their report on the same has been
filed away for future reference. With
these reports are filed views and rec
concentrations which reveal the exist
ence of deep rooted belief that Amer
lean newspapers are too free in dis
seminating news likely to give aid to
the enemy and that on that account
the President should be empowered to
forbid by proclamation the publica.
ton of news regarding the movement
| of troops, and the means and measures
by which the war is to be carried on
| So seriously have the officials consid.
cred this matter that they proposed q
penalty of $1,000 and Imprisonment
from six months to three years fol
those who infringed the rules.
| The suggestion is made that Congress
| has the authority to enact censorship
legislation because the states have en-
acted laws forbiddng the publication O
SANDER and other Objectionable matter.
and because the President having au
thority to carry on war, has also tn,
! power to enforce rules for the protec
ton of the army as we'll as for it
operations. General J. Franklin Bell il
named as one of those holding very de
cisive opinions concerning the publica

Judue lurton.

.Judge LurtOn, who has been appoint
"a to the Supreme bench by President
Taft, was opposed in certain quarters
because he was considered to be in
clined to favor combinations of capital
| rather than the people in making de-
cisions where both were involved. 1t
will be remembered that similar rea-
son was advanced for electing
somebody besides Taft to the presiden-
CIV. Taft was elected and has proven
conclusively that his belief is in enforc-
ing the law as it stands and remedy
ing the defective statute. Judge Lur
ton has been appointed to the Supreme
Court and has signalized his elevation
by issuing a decree against a trust
which in severity is second only to that
issued against the Standard Oil Com
panv by the Missouri Circuit court.
The case was that of the United
States Wall Paper Company versus the
Lewis Voight Company of Cincinnati,
brought to enforce an iron-clad agree
ment, through the provisions of which
the Weight Company was to have paid
tribute to the combine. The defendant
was sued in an effort to enforce the
payment of several thousands of dol
lars and the case attracted much at
tentiOn in the lower court, as it was
well recognized that an issue was in
yolved, which, if decided adversely to
the trust, would go far to nullify all
..gentlemen's agreements and similar
body-and- soulmortgaging contracts.
Judge Lurton declared the agreement
relieved Of payment. If the matter
goes to the supreme court and is SINH
larlv decided, the incentive to form
trusts will have been removed. Agree
ments which cannot be enforced by law
will not hold any appreciate number
of manufacturers together long. Some
one is sure to find the bond irksome
and yearn for the privilege of doing
business according to his own ideas.
When the courts cease to be allies of
the trust in forcing the hayward men,
Der back into line, trusts will die
natura! death. Judge Lurton by his
decision in the wall paper case, has
certainly given the trusts little in
which to find comfort. His course on
the bench has ever been such as to
stamp him one Of this country's lead
ing iuriSts.

Russia leads in something beside an
archist plots and bomb lodging at

modern of inventions, the cine
matograph or moving picture. Her
leadership is the result of an accident,
however, and it is certain that Russian
officialdom does not care to repeat its
part in the affair.
A motion picture camera had been
set up or the station platform at Har-
bin for the purpose of taking pictures
of the meeting of Prince Ito of Japan
and the Russian minister of finance,
KokOvtsoff. Ito was assassinated and
the camera man was enabled to record
the assassin's every act, Itos collapse

minute detail. While the motion picture
theatres are showing all sorts of scenes
of violence, and while it is true that a
French actor in Stimulating the strug-
giles of drowning man really lost his
life. it is doubtful if there is another
instance in the history of the business
where an actual tragedy has been
caught.
