 This passion for building crossed the ocean in the breasts of the Spanish discoYerers and first colonists, who. al- though they celebrated their earliest re- ligious services in tents by the sea shore or beneath the branches of un- familiar foliage, were impelled to erect as soon as possible temples big and splendid enough to express the master motives of their age-religion and art.

No More Long Island Racing.

According to a decision just reached
by the Motor Cups Holding Company"
by which business like title Is known the
mobile race meets in this country, there
will be no more motor car road races
in the neighborhood of New York, such
as that Of last Saturday on Long Island
when four men were killed and several
other persons were seriously injured. The
total casualty record of the Long Island
motor course to date is eight deaths
and fifty injuries. The holding company
at last realizes that it is impossible to
conduct races so near such an immense
body of people without grave danger,
both to the public and to the participants.
On the other hand the professional racers
are unwilling to risk their lives on
course that cannot possibly be policed
effectively. On the other hand the public
authorities stand ready now, after repeat
ed demonstrations, to intervene to put
an end to further public road racing. 1t
appears that prior to the Vanderbilt cup
race the promoting company made a
contract with the Pinkerton detective
agency whereby that bureau guaranteed
an efficient policing Of the course, at a
cost Of IS per man. The total cost
of this service has not been stated, but
it is known to have been large. and some
question has arisen as to the payment.
owing to the fact that the protection was
ineffective, the people surSing upon the

Whatever may have been his inten-
lions while at sea regarding the start
made by the Independence League in
placing a straight ticket in the field, Mr.
Hearst on landing and looking over the
situation concluded that the best thing
to do was to keep on along the course
Of real independence, and SO the adjourn
ed convention last night went ahead and
completed the ticket headed by Mr.. Hop
per and Mr.. Hearst himself. On the
face Of things this ticket is a straight
third-party presentation of Candidates
for the state Offices, placed in the field
with the presumed expectation Of cleo
ton. That is always the supposed OBJ
ject OF every combination of candidates
laid before the public by political or
ganization. However hopeless OF cleo

their commonwealth will flock to their
standard in an effort to throw off the
dominion of partisan politicians and give
the people good government.
As a matter of fact, third-party tick
cts are rarely actually the result OF
spontaneous movement. Back of all OF
these so-called independent and really
hopeless profferings there is some pur-
pose Of election day trading, of complha-
ton work. of maneuvering for future po-
litical advantage. Sometimes these TICK
cts are named for the purpose of keep
ing a skeleton political party in orSanl-
cation, retaining name as an asset Oh
possible future value. The independence
League is the creation of one man, FORM
ed for his exploitation. and without MS
pecuniary and journalistic assistance a
wretched farce of hopelessness. In the
campaign that may now be regarded as

of its own strength probably prove to
be of the smallest Importance. The vote
cast for Hopper is not likely to be as
much as 3 per cent Of the whole polling.
The vote cast in 1908 for Shearn. the In
dependence League candidate for gov
ernor, a much better known man than
Hopper and more intimately identified
with Mr. Hearst and his propaganda, was
only 2.19 per cent of the entire vote
cast. 1t is hardly to be expected that
Hoppers vote will be as large. whatever
strength may be shown for Hearst HIM
self as candidate for lieutenant governor.
1t now remains to be seen how much OF
an influence this ticket, which is obvious
ly placed in the field to weaken the Muir
phy-Dix combination, will exert on the
result 1t would not appear to be espe
cially helpful to the republican candidacy
viewed on its own merits. though per-
haps Mr.. Hearst may through his or
gans of publicity conduct a vehement
campaign of attack upon the democracy.

course at many points and at the most
dangerous turns. 1t is futile to hope
for any efficient policing Of an open track
such as a public highway, which can be
approached from all directions and by
perhaps hundred routes. 1t Is the
function Of the law to prevent people
from thrusting themselves OF others into
deadly danger, and had 1t not been for the
decision just rendered by the holding
company to call Off the grand prize race
scheduled for October 10, 1t would have
been incumbent upon the officials Of the
county in which the race course lies to
interpose an impossible legal barrier.
Suggestion is made that this race will
later be held at Savannah, Ga, which
community appears to desire the doubt
full honor. 1t is to be hoped that Sa-
vannah will not later have occasion to
regret the transfer Of the thanksgiving
sport from New York.

Charles E. Hughes.

Upon retiring from the governorship of
New York and from politics, Charles f.

high and well deserved praise. He has

The Hospital for the Insane.

When the statements of the eliminate
of the Government Hospita! for the In
sane who was yesterday released by a
verdict of the jury in the District
Supreme Court. and who brought charges
| against the authorities of the institution.
are sifted they would seem to dWindle
into comparative insignificance. He al
leges first that his watch was taken from
him by one of the keepers, but acknowl-
edges that 1t was returned to him. The
| most serious charge he makes is that
clothing and money were stolen from
him and have not been returned. If this
is true, some subordinate at the hospital
has been guilty of an offense which
should be punished by immediate dismis-
sal. The other features of this man S
statement are hardly worth investigation,
concerning as they do instances of vio-
lence on the part OF patients which do
not in any way reflect upon the efficiency
or trustwortliness of the attendants. The
court has properly ordered an inquiry
into the only phase of the case which
demands investigation, that bearing upon
the retention of personal property by the
keepers. In regard to the claim that the
hospital authorities intercepted letters, it
is to be borne in mind that in all such
institutions supervision must necessarily
be maintained over the correspondence of
patients. While a certain degree of free
dom is granted them in the writing and
receiving of mail, it is obviously unwise
to give them entire liberty in this respect,
as unregulated communications between
them and those outside might easily ag-
gravate their affection and retard what
ever process Of cure is possible in their
cases.
Every institution of this kind is more
or less subject to questions regarding the
treatment of patients 1t is inevitable
that there should be resentment on the
part of inmates who retain possession of
their mental faculties to certain extent,
regarding their treatment. Those who are
morbidly Inclined as result of their
mental disease often imagine grievances
and sufferings that do not exist. At the
same time there is a danger that the
keepers do not always handle the patients
as gently as they might. They are deal
ing with a potentially dangerous class
Of people, and in selecting a force it is
doubtless often necessary to sacrifice
something of tact for courage and
physical ability to maintain order. In
such circumstances it is desirable to
keep both the necessities and the dangers
of an organization Of this character
clearly in mind whenever charges of
cruelty are brought against the manage
ment on an institution for the care of the
insane. Investigations are from time to
time desirable to prevent the growth of
conditions leading to the imposition OF
cruelty upon the helpless. If an institu-
ton Is properly conducted such inquiries
are not to be feared, but are rather to
be welcomed by those in control.

Nevada Divorces.
rom the PHILADELPHIA Public Ledger

A recent ruling of the supreme court
of New York against the validity of a Ne
vada divorce has caused a fiutter among
the people who have supposed slx-montf
constructive residence at Reno SUFFICIENT
to dissolve the bonds of matrimony any
where. But similar rulings have beer
made in New York and other states be
fore. and presumably would always be
made in the same conditions. The obliga.
ton of each state to give full faith and
credit to the public acts, records and ju-
dicial proceedings OF every other state
is conditioned on the competence Of the
jurisdiction and the good faith OF such
proceedings. Nobody outside Of Nevada
can question the authority Of such laws
as that state may have made concerning
the marriage relations OF it's own citizens
subject to it's jurisdiction. When Ne
vada undertakes to dissolve the lawful
marriage of citizens of another state
and to issue DEGREES regarding the custody
Of children and the disposal Of property
outside its jurisdiction, these are not such
acts as are entitled to the faith and credit
of the other states whose citizens and
residents are thus affected.

FORTUNES OF THE
CIRCUS KINGS

II remains only to tell briefly Just
how the circus kings have Jared with
fortune. The richest of all showmen
was II. T.. Barnum, whose estate was
worth more than $4,000, 600. He had
good investments in real estate in
addition to his circus interests. The
right TO use his name in connection
with THE Greatest Show on Earth"
alone was worth a small fortune. His
partner, James A. Bailey, left more
than n million dollars; likewise,
James l.. Hutchinson, who completed

Sells brothers Louis, AL. Peter and
Lphriam) built up a fortune of sew
eral millions and left their families
with big estates. These successes are
in contrast with the poverty stricken
end of some of the circus leaders OF
other days, notably Dan Costello and
Yankee Robinson.
But the wonder chapter in modern
circus annals is the record of the
Ringlings. Thirty years ago these five
brothers tAl, Charles, John, Otto and
Alfred I'd were grouping" with a few
