TIRED AND LONELY.

With such an executive as Mr. DIX,
This state at least would have rest
from crude experiment. from lrreSpoh-
sible cropping after the unaualndole'
from rash ventures into the wholly uh-
knoWn-New York Times.
Since January |. 1907. Charles Il.
Hughes has been Governor of this state
The Times supported him when he was
first elected. in 1906. and also supported
him when he was elected again, In 1903.
II said two years ago that not a single
sound reason could be found why Cover
nor Hughes should not he reelected. we
are astonished TO hear. therefore. that IN
The Times-s' opinion the Hughes ad-
,niniStratiOn was marked by crude eN-
pcrirnent." irresponsible cropping after
the unattainable'' and rash ventures
INTO the wholly unknown.
The Hughes administration accom-
nIjshed some very substantial reforms
II amended the insurance laws so as
10 prevent q repetition Of the scandals
uncovered by the investigation OF l9oo.
It succee1ed i'm passing law putting
tie public service corporations under the
s,1nervisiop and control of two stare
cnmmissions-on for New York City and
tho other for the rest Of the state. It
killed racptrack gambling and did its
hest 10 break UP the alliance between
corrupt politicians aDd corporations
seeking legislative favors. We have bad
four wears of progress at Albany. in so
far as Governor Hughes could contribute
70 rrogress. his efforts being hinderod
at all stages by the bipartisan comhiia-
ton i'm the Legislature between ram
many and the 'old guard.
When and how has he plagued the
state with ''cr-lde experiment" and vent
ures into the wholly unknown It
NAV he that The Times feels out Of
sympathy with his attempts to Introduce
greater freedom and director responsible
itv I'm party management by urging d.
rect nomina tions. Yet in that he was
making no venture into the unknown, fO-
over half of the states of the Union
have adopted the direct method Of nomi-
nations and all Of them are pleased with
the results And if The Times is seek
ing "a rest from that experiment, why
should it pin its hopes Of relief on Mi.
Dix. who has been nominated on plat
form declaring in favor Of statewide
direct primaries for all candidates 10:
public office. including United States
Senators? THE Times may feel that 1t
needs a rest from the accomplishments
of the two Hughes administrations. many
of which it applauded before it was
stricken with its present weariness. If
our former neighbor is tired. it is also
lonely. The thing which the great ma
iority of the voters don't want is what
it calls "a rest

NOT WORTH TIE CANDLE.

Three fatal and many serious accidents
marred the success of the annual auto
mobile competition yesterday for the
Vanderbilt Cup. That is too high
price to pay for an exhibition whose
chief purpose is 10 minister to the speed
mania and which has only a secondary
interest as a factor in developing the
power and endurance of automobiles.
The self-propelled vehicle is one Of the
triumphS of modern invention. 1t has
already demonstrated its enormous uul-
ity both as freight carrier and a pas
senger conveyance. 1t helps TO remove
old limitations on freedom of l0cOmOti0n.
brings the suburbs and the country in
touch with the city. encourages out
door life and in many positive ways con
tributes TO the health. pleasure and con
venience of the community.
But its usefulness is not increased ny
exhibitions of speed merely for the sake
of speed. Such tests as are applied at
the Long Island racetrack do not help
the automobile manufacturers t. build
better machines On the contrary, they
stimulate an unnatural desire to turn
out mere racing engines. unSnited for
general use. The capacity for speed
shown on the racecOurSe is far above
that required for use eisewhere. Power
of that sort is too dangerous to he put
into the hands of owners or chauffeurS
driving on the public highways. The
law fOrbids the reckless mOnOpoliZatiOn
of the roads for automobile traffic. Ac-
cidents enough are bound to occur when
machines are operated at normal
speed. and the true interest Of the man
ufacturers lies in popularizing the auto
mobile and accustoming the public 10 its
safe and reasonable use Exhibitions
such as the Vanderbilt Cup race were
DerhaDS juStifiable when the automobile
was in the experimental stage and its
possibilities were not fully tested. But
that period has passed. Interest In the
contest is now centred chiefly in its
character ms n perilOuS and melOdra-
matte spectacle. and its value as a tech
nical test is practically negligible. The
game is not worth the candle If would
be wise TO abandon a competition dis
p!aying at unnecessary risk the courage
and endurance Of the drivers rather than
the really commendable qualities of the
ma chimes.

PROTECTING MARYLAND GAME
Legislature Will Act on Stri gent Law
Affecting the Eastern Shore.

Delaware sportsmen are interested
in bill which has been sent to the
Maryland Legislature regarding
game on the Maryland section of the
peninsula. 1t is to further protect
game birds. Under its provisions it
shall be unlawful for any person to
kill more than fifteen partridges
(quaiD, in one day; or more than
three English pheasant or more than
twelve woodcock in any one day.
Doves cannot be killed at all in Del
aware, but on the Maryland side of
the peninsula the proposed bill per-
mits their slaughter to the extent of
"not more than twenty-five in any
one day." or more than twelve rab-
bits, twelve squirrels or twelve jack
snipe. The ban is placed upon the
killing of more than two wild turkeys
in any one day. The most greedy
hunter would probably be delighted
with half this bag. More than one
deer in a day is prohibited, and there
is no likelihood of overfowing jails
from the violation of this clause,
for deer is almost an unknown
quantity. Five dollars for each bird
fifty dollars for each wild turkey ant
S1OO for each deer in excess of th'
limits is the penalty fixed by tn
proposed law.
