THE MUNSEY RELIABILITY
RUNS GREAT SUCCESS.

The Munsey reliability automobile
run from Washington 10 Boston and
return has passed into history, but it
will long be remembered as one of the
most complete tests automobiles in
this country have ever been called upon
to undergo. Weather and road condi-
tions were such that experts consider
it little short Of marvellous that ear
should have finished with d perfect
score. From the standpoint of the
private automobile owner, the victory
Of the ElmOre car. owned and driven
by Frank Hardsrt, jr., of Philadelphia.
is particularly interesting. Mr.. Hard
art an amateur, entered into eompeti-
ton with some of the most sllillful
drivers in the United States and the
fact that he was declared the winner
of the sweepstakes trophy is a tribute
to his ability as driver as well as
being a remarkable achievement for
his car.
There IS glory enough for all who
participated in the run. Chairman
Trego, whose ability commanded the
respect of every man in the contest. is
authority for the statement that every
car which finished the l,3OO-mile Jour
ney gave practical demonstration of
its ability to stand up under strain
such as few cars are called upon 60
undergo.
The Munsey reliability run has now
become a fixed annual event, That ths
years event was brought 70 conclusion
with entire satisfaction to all of the
entrants is demonstrated by the an
nounced intention of all Of those who
made the run in 1909 20 be on the
starting line in 1910.
Too much praise cannot be given
20 the men who drove the cars under
conditions which they are seldom called
upon to encounter; to the observers
and officials who remained on duty
from early in the morning until late
at night and to the passengers whose
presence in the ears was Of as great
Importance as the perfect operation Of
the machinery, Every one is satisfied,
and none more so than the promoters
of the contest. Congratulations TO the
prize winners, and congratulations to
al who brought their cars back 20
Washington. Each and every one Of
them should be proud of their per

TAMMANY'S NOMINATION OF
JUSTICE GAYNOR.

Tammany made a great concession 70
the best quality of public opinion when
It nominated Justice Gsynor for mayor
of New York. Yet there is evidence
that the copcession- is mainly Of the
form rather than the substance. jus
tics Gaynor has been denounced as a
political judge, a demagogue, an I'M
safe man, by those squeamish Rspub-
licans who are so earnestly opposed to
Tsmmany that they can't bear TO see
Tammany do anything creditable- But
the fact remains that the people Of
New York city and the country gen
orally regard the Brooklyn jurist as an
excellent man for the place, and his
nomination as a triumph for better
sentiment, forced upon an unwilling
Tammany. The most reasonable view
would be that when the demand for
better government becomes 50 patent
and powerful as to force the hand of
Tarmany, it is matter of congratzlls-
ton.
But there is the dark side Of the sit
uation. Tammany names a good man
for mayor; for figIrehead. Does it in
tend TO give him support in case he is
elected Evidently it intends, on the
other hand, to tie his hands by control
Of the board of estimate. It -gsnts the
borough presidents of its own kind. 1t
defeated Herman Metz for renomina-
tion as comptroller. He Is the sort of
man who should have been named for
that position if the good faith of the
Gaynor nomination was TO be under
written Plainly enough Tsmmsny is
after the contracts and the offices and
the spoils which it can control without
y mayor; and it puts forward good
man, in Gsynor, as its bait to draw the
votes for the rest of vastly less de
sirshle ticket.
There is a natural enough feeling
that Tammzny n going 70 win Mr..
Barnard. the Fusion candidate, has
aroused no enthusiasm He is com
perstiveiy unknown. The manner of
hiy nomination was calculated 70 excite
more distrust OF the sincerity Of the
Fusion leaders, than enthusiasm for
their purposes of substantial reform.
Once more there is much talk of the
vaulting ambition of a mayoralty can
didate TO become, next, governor OF
View York, and then candidate for
President. II is nonsense The New
York mayornlty has been anything but
stspping stone to bigger things. In
modern times it has been more often
tombstone than a stepping stone. The
man who gets elected mayor Of New
York does well to devote all his atten.
tion to that job, without worrying over
higher bonors in future; and II he
escapes with his political life ne may
well congratulate himself.
