CARNAGE IN NAME OF SPORT.
HideOus Phase of the Automobile
Race for Vanderbilt Gun.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
In the reports Of the performance on
the roads OF Long Island on Saturday.
the details Of the races We're entirely
subordinated 20 the accounts OF the
shocking carnage which attended them
The sacrifice Of four lives and the Sc
rious injury Of at least a score of per-
sons in addition, most OF the latter
spectators, give a hideous aspect to what
is undertaken under the name OF
sport, That such a bloody holiday
is possible in a civilized community Is
sorry commentary upon its progress
IN all that makes for humane and in
telligent enlightenment.
It in no way helps the matter to say
that the victims, both racers and spec
tators. knew the dangers and took the
risk. They should not have been allowed
to use the public highways for the pur-
poses Of such an exhibition and il is
even doubtful whether such a contest.
with its known perils. should be per-
mitted within an inclosure 70 which
admission is charged. In the present
stage of the development of the auto
mobile industry these contests serve no
useful purpose. There may have been
time when lessons OF endurance and
experience IN design and method were
gained by auto racing, but that time
has long passed. Such speeds can never
be tolerated on roads used for other
forms of travel, and the day is still so
far distant when the automobiles shall
be provided with roads reserved excln-
sively fo- themselves that the develop
ment of power and speed such as are
displayed in these cup races" is not
only of no service to mankind. but is a.
distinct evil and menace. The one DOM
inant lesson of Saturdays casualties is
tibet they are far too terrible a price to
pay for any conceivable advantages that
may accrue from the races.

Vox Populi.

It is plain that divine right" William
Of Germany who claimed at Koenigs-
berg 10 be the chosen instrument
through which the German people might
hear the Vox Del. has. in the rumblings
OF criticism that that speech brought
forth. himself hearkened TO the Vox
Popull. For when he had the opportunity
at Marienburg. he took occasion TO ex-
plain;
When I represented myself like my sainted
father being under the protection Of the
Almighty and working under the supreme com
mission Of our Lord and God. ! assumed that every
honest Christian. whoever he might be, did the
same. Whoever works in this spirit knows well that
the cross imposes obligations. We should hold to-
gether in bgotherly love. and should leave TO
each race its peclliaritieA Tie races and trade
organizations should join hands for common WORK
and Tor meeting the states necessities
In the face Of such a positive state
ment as this it is plain that the Emper-
or's word as to Just what he did mean
must be taken seriously. and We. who
misunderstood him, must admit our mis-
take. He is Emperor by grace Of God, ''
just as every man Is what he is in the
world, equally by the grace and under
the providence OF God.
More than this, the Marienburg speech
IS important for the assurance il gives
that the Emperor is willing to leave to
each race that comprises the German
empire Its peculiarities," by which we
may presume he means its religion and
It's language. If he is sincere in this ii
means a cessation OF the attempt 10
Germanize the Polish provinces. 10 force
the German language in the Polish
schools.
Indeed, the Emperor's speech is one OF
marked Cancellation. Frankly he Joins
hands with the business man of his en-
pire, and the workingman. too. At pres
ent the workingmen Of Prussia are prac-
ucally disfranchised; If the Emperor
means what he says. it means that he
will work with them for a more gen
erous franchise and a greater represen-
tation in the Prussian Diet.
II is 10 be hoped that Emperor William
has been moved 10 this speech by prompt
ings from within; from a generous and
honest desire 10 serve his country as he
best can serve il. by governing it well
and justly. But il viii not be forgotten.
We fear that the German Emperor IS
almost as astute politician as Citizen
Theodore Roosevelt It may be that the
great Increase or power throughout Ger
many of the Social Democrats has given
him pause and led him to see that, in
these Parlous days of republican thought.
II might be wiser for the modern mon
arch 10 be carried on by the tide than
10 attempt t9 swim against 1t and be car
ried out to sea

Work for Idle Hands.

From the Buffalo News
That I'VE all like sheep have gone
astray," or are likely TO. seems to be
the reason back Of the proposal OF one
of the penologists at Washington to Ber-
tillen and thumb-Irint every man or wo-
man born into the world. It is a Min
neapolis man. Albert L. Hall. who pro-
posed this to the meeting OF the Amer
lean Prison Association. and he thinks
the United States ought TO do the job.
Evidently Mr.. Hall thinks the United
States has little to do. 1t would be a
fine. fat job-a chronic census gathering,
much enlarged.

Disrespect for Uniform.

From the Brooklyn Standard Union
II might be well termed gross i'm
pertinence TO dress a bell boy in the uni
form Of a United States army captain.
and the public viii surely side with Gen.
Funston in his protest TO the management
of a Kansas City hotel. This is an in
stance Of the foolish eheapening Of a garb
that stands for something-it might al
most be said that downright disrespect
for the honorable and dignifed position
Of captain was displayed by the hotel in
permitting such a thing. But before a too
sweeping condemnation of the case in
point be made 1t should be definitely
known whether the management or the
bell boy was responsible for the clothes
he wore

A Mighty Hunter.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
Against the charge that titled English
men are idle may be cited the fact that
Earl de Grey has slain half a million
wild creatures, so called. They were, in
truth. about as wild as the average barn
yard pullet, and had been driven within
range In order that the earl might not
be unduly tagged. II is not stated
whether the earl was acting in the role
OF faunal naturalist or OF plain butcher.
but he must have been tolerably busy.

Direct Nominations.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger

POLITICAL COMMENT.


From the Milwaukee Free Press.
The factional insurgent press may rave
over Mr.. Roosevelts personal and plat
form Endorsement OF the President. That
is its ancient game. even If it is game
without justice or truth. But it is reach
ing the limit when 1t begins 10 question
the sincerity Of this mans proclaimed
convictions because he has not seen fit
10 force them In toto upon State that
is not ready for their reception. The
progressive movement in Wisconsin has
been one of gradual growth. II viii be
the same in New York State. and If life
is granted to Theodore Roosevelt he will
there continue to fight the succeeding
battles OF progress.

A Popular Summer Resort.

The fine weather prevailing on

hosts of visitors to the Ocean
shore, intent on securing rest
and a good coat of tan.
The outlook is particularly
bright for a remarkable busy

far greater than ever before at
the same time of the year.
The march of progress is evil
dent throughout the entire
length of the beach, and devel-
opment being assured, prosperi-
ty is but a matter of course.
Work on the Automobile Boule-
varde is progressing very rapid

are being erected, and new
rooming houses and old are be-
ing rapidly put into shape to
take care Of the boards of sum-
mer transients which will soon
be down upon us.
The North Beach Push Club
with it's combined effort, shoul-
dering the Wheel of Progress,
has awakened an era of activity
which will undoubtedly secure
the proper recognition of the un-
surpassed advantages of the
North Beach for enjoyable out
ings, and, at the same time, all
the comforts of home.
Negotiations are now pending
with Portland Capitalists for the
installation of a water system to
supply the beach and surround
