AUTO HITS BICYCLE.
NJ. Alexander's Machine Smashes S. d.
Wise and His Wheel.

Peculiar, though it may seem, when
motor car of 80 horse power hits a
bicycle of two-leg power the automo-
bile has the right of way.
This morning that ironclad theory
was proven.
S. D. Wise night clerk at the r. R.
Y. NJ. c. A, was riding home from work
al about o'clock. 1t was just strik-
ing this hour on the Washburn chimes
when Mr.. Wise turned the corner of
Kansas and Eighth avenues with the
two wheels of his trusty bicycle spinning
merry tune under him.
While these self-same chimes were
peeling forth, M Alexander with his
big 40 horse power Overland car ap-
preached the same spot at the inter-
There was a whirr of the steerage
wheel. a honk from the air bulb and
a weighing of bicycle tire.
The next second Sam Wise and his
bicycle were doing a circus stunt with
the asphalt pavement as the net.
Before the performance had ended a
crowd of early morning laborers go
ing to their work had gathered around
in an admiring and Sympathizing
thrOng and NJ. Alexander was down the
street with the brakes of his machine
squeezing the hubs of his wheels.
When Wise and his bicycle had given
up the struggle with the asphalt, both
stood before the crowd for inspection.
Wise was bruised and torn and his
bicycle was in the same fix. Unassist-
ed, however, the two wendell their way
down Eighth avenue-one limping and
cursing softly and the other weighing
in bereavement beside his master.

BUT ONE REAL STARTER
Chicago to New York AeropIane Race
Is q Frost.

Chicago. Oct. There will be but
one real starter in the Chicago-New
York aeroplane race" which was
scheduled to begin here tomorrow. It
was announced today that Eugene Ely
will attempt to go the route, but that
Willard, Post and McCurdy will make
merely technical starts.
The aviators at a meeting this af-
ternoon decided to delay Ely's start I'M
til Sunday Representatives of the Ev-
ening Post protested vigorously against
only one man starting in the race. Mr..
Curtiss said he would try to find parts
enough to start another machine but
he saw little chance of success
For the flight from Chicago to New
York 100000 prize was offered by the
Chicago Evening Post and the New
York Times, Three aviators arranged
today to make the technical start to
comply with the requirements of the
race that three men actually start.
Two, however, will land shortly after
starting and will ship their machines
to points along the route in readiness
to supply Ely's machine with any part
which he may require.
This was decided by the entrants
all of whom are of the Glenn Curtiss
forces, at a conference today Ely,
Willard and McCurdy drew straws and
the lot fell to Ely, the only married one
of the trio.

ST. MARYS OPTIMISTIC.
Coach Quigley VIII Try TO Show X.
Z. Contest.

In a telephone talk today with E c.
Quigley of the st. Marys football team,
the coach said that he had great hopes
of giving K. U. real football contest
Saturday.
The fact that the contest is played
at Lawrence may have a tendency
to keep the boys from playing as well
as they would at home, but he states
that the team is in fine condition and
in the two games played so far this
season the st. Marys goal never has
been in danger.
Quite a number of Topekans will
go to Lawrence as the game is not
called until $3.50 which will enable
all to go down on afternoon trains
and return on the early evening trains.

CROWD is GREAT.
Col. Roosevelt Is Forced to
Fight His Way
From Automobile TO Speaking
Stand at Bristol.

Bristol, Tenn, Oct Tn a speech
here today former President Roosevelt
defended his doctrine of new national
ism. The crowd which greeted him
was so great that Col Roosevelt had
to fight his way from his automobile
to the grand stand. Girls from Bristol
female colleges in their caps and
gowns. presented him with bouquet
of roses.
Much obliged" Col Roosevelt
shouted waving his hat at them.
I am back attending my own peo-
pie" said Col. Roosevelt. I've come
back from Africa and Europe feeling
that in spite of all our shortcomings
there is not another land where the
average man has as much chance
as he does here.
"All that I am trying to do is to
keep this land as one in which the
average man has a square deal. What
I mean by the new nationalism is
simply the efficient application of the
old moralities to new and changed con-
ditions.
This country was founded for the
purpose of trying to secure equality
of opportunity for all men and we
must try to realize that ideal We
must try to see that in political and
industrial life there are no special priv
iliges.
only if he is a straight man My critics
say I attack the rich man. That is not
true.
I'm against the little crook, but
there is this distinction, the neighbors
of the little crook can take care of
him, but when it comes to man with
a hundred million he's the neiShbor of
all of us. He's too big for his imme-
date neighborhOod and that's why I
want Uncle Sam to tackle him.
Hes big enough. That is not revo-
lutionary but counter-revolution
He added that such federal control
would obviate conditions which might
bring about revolutionary movement
Here are two cardinal principles of
the new nationalism." he said.
In the first place, efficient honesty.
In the second place, the right of the
people to rule.
THE men who are honest in Wall
street have nothing to fear in new
nationalism. but the Wall street man
who wants to make a fortune by sell
ing paper which is not worth anything
is perfectly right in dreading new ma
tionalism. The man who has hun
bred million dollars and uses his power
improperly is right in dreading new
nationalism, for we intend to shear
him of that power"
At noon the Roosevelt train departed
for Knoxville.

SMITHS METHODS CRITICISED.

The East Grand Forks Valley
View has a few remarks to make
in connection with the state treas
urership fight which will be read
with more than ordinary interest at
this time when people are not in a
humor to see money spent with a
too lavish hand to secure political
preferment because such methods
are not conducive to clean politics
and if permitted would put the
capable man of limited means out
of the running entirely in a race
with a man of wealth. The Valley
View has the following forceful
editorial, reproduced in full, which
the Crookston Times endorses.
When the Development conven-
ton was in progress in Crookston,
the special correspondent of the Min
neapolis Tribune, who was on the
ground, found a basis for sending the
following special which was, publish
ed insthe Tribune, being portion of
an articlefwhich appeared the day
following the opening of the conven.
ton:
Walter J. Smith, the Range coun-
try candidate for the state treasurer
ship, was on hand early, accompani-
ed by some of the range boosters.
With him was his father-in-law, Neil
McGinnis, reported to be extremely
wealthy and also reported to be rea-
dy and willing to 60 the limit on
campaign expenses to secure the
nomination of his son-in-law, who
has developed unexpected strength.
Smith has just returned from
trip through the southern part of the
state. He has made every town of
importance and is making the cam
paign of his life. His friends claim,
for him that. there is not a commit
teeman nor banker in the state
who has not received letter from
him, accompanied by his cookbook
ing photograph"
1t is only regrettable fact that
the above is true. Smith may be al
right in way, and good fellow,
but is the fact that his father-in-law
is immensely wealthy and willing to
scatter his gold all over the state to
land the nomination a good and
sufficient reason for nominating him?
Has it come to such pass that
Notwithstanding the fact that a
candidate has never done anything
for the state or for the party, and
who was never heard of before, but
who is lucky enough to have an in
dulgent father-in-law, can jump in
and land a nomination just because
money is poured out like water?
