NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-New York's
twenty-seventh annual horse show.
which is to open tomorrow, will have
more than usual significance, for it
will be the last of these famous gath
eings in Madison Square Garden. For
sentimental reason, if for no other, the
management has planned to make the
show this year more brilliant than any
of it's predecessors in order that the
farewell to the old home may literally
be made blaze of glory. One feature
that will contribute largely to the sue
ces OF the event is the imposing array
of prizes that have been offered, their
total value being fully $4,000. But
what will add as much as anything
else to the success Of the show will
be the array of foreign military Off
GERS who will compete with officers of
the United States Army. Three Am
erican army officers, one English and
one Canadian officer will Judge the
military events. The Americans are
Lieut.. Col. David S. Stanley, quarter
masters department.; Capt J. D. Long,
cavalry instructor at West Point. and
Maj. II. J. Allen, of the general staff.
Lord Decies, who recently married
Miss Vivian Gould, will represent the
English army and Col. William Hen
drie will represent the Canadian for

PHYSICIAN HAD A
VERY CLOSE CALL

The slippery condition of North
Tenth street, as a result of oiling last
summer is given as the cause for the
automobile accident to DR.. Charles
Marvel at Tenth and North A street on
Friday morning. While driving south
on the street, running at a moderate
rate of speed, he turned to pass a wag-
on, his machine skidding and almost
turning around, shot toward the east

striking the curb and the machinery
damaged to a considerable extent
During the short interval his machine

up. The machine will be in the repair

ing needed.

Although he mentioned no names
Mayor Zimmerman emphatically de-
clared today that some Of the most
prominent members of the Richmond
boosters" who have been making
trips in the vicinity of this city lately,
could do a great deal OF boosting" II
they would patronize the city light
plant He made this statement in ans
wering the arguments contained in an
interview with a local attorney pub
lished in last evenings issue of the
Palladium.
The mayor declares that the city
plant is self-sustaining and Is a paying
institution.
1.-THE light plant was built by the
city but 1t was not long until this mon
ey was paid back into the city's Golfers
and now the city is getting free light,
which during the existence of the light
plant has saved the municipality $44,-
900. the light plant has $4,000 in the
bank and has $4,000 in a sinking fund
which will be used in paying of the
bonds OF the plant" the mayor says
III any man can show me where the
city plant has cost the citizens OF Rich
mond one dollar he can do more than
I can"
The mayor says that had the light
plant not been built the taxes would
have been raised to the limit in order
to pay for the city's lighting.

er company will not receive another
franchise for electricity II they can
block 1t. They say that the city plant
with a few additions will be able to
furnish electricity to the entire city
and will do 1t cheaper They say that
It Is not the idea of the city to make
money of the plant but to pay of the
Indebtedness and then to lower the
rates as opportunity is afforded and
give the citizens the benefit of 1t.
The mayor does not doubt for one
moment that municipal water works
plant would quay. He says that on &C.
count Of the constitutional Limitation
of city Indebtedness that the plant can
not be purchased now, but that there
will be a time when the city can come
into control Of the plant.

DREXLER AND SUSSEX.

ENATOR DREXLER has considerable Repub-
- can newspaper support in Sussex county.
The Sussex Republican has been vigorously for
him. and the Delmar News says that "it is mis-
take for any Of the powers that be to imagine that
Senator DreSer stands discredited in the eyes of
the people because of his attitude. The rank and
file in Sussex county we're heartily in accord with
his attitude because of having seen on previous
occasions the effect of the interests Drexler was
fighting, and if he we're put on the ticket in Sus-
sex county today he would receive overwhelming
support
But the News adds that the probabilities are
that ere the time comes for another ticket in Della
kind will have forgotten him. From present in
dcations il appears like the political end of an
honest conscientious representative of the people,
and il is TO be regretted
Senator Drexler has shown remarkable ability
for creating noise and il rests with him to say
whether he shall pass away politically. The mere

POSITION OF THE DIRECTORS.

HE trouble with the objectors to the so-called
Republican organization at Dover is, they had
nothing tangible on which TO base their objections
other than desire for personal revenge and a
desire TO hold on to the spoils of political office,
which always seize like plague the average poll
tican. He becomes chronic place hunter,
chronic bidder for publicity and notoriety And it
may be remarked that the world would be very
much duller if we didn't have him.
The woud-be trouble makers arrived at Dover
telling the community how bad the other fellows
the organizations men, the New Castle "barons"
and all that were And at the same time they told
the community that they themselves had been
bad. Why not deadlock the Legislature so that
two Senator's will be elected two years hence and
we can join in a grand campaign next wear with
General Pot and Major Kettle leading the black
cavalry? OF course it would be successful.
That was about the line the objectors' argu-
ment followed. There was no argument as TO
principles no Intimation that the kickers intended

the evils that have been complained of in Della

servatism in both parties The Republicans as

New York Evening Sun.
The loud long cry of back to the

lege of Agriculture yesterday afte-
noon. He was addressing an assem-
blage of farmers from Mount Vernon,
Pelham Manor and New Rochelle be-
fore the Peoples Forum of the last
named rural centre, and thus declared
himself upon the Country Life Move

The back to the farm idea is in a
large degree socially. scientifically and
politically unsound. The present cen
sus shows that not over one quarter

1920 not more than one-fifth will be
on the farms. and that will be enough.
We are passing out of rural civilizs-
ton.
This is, of course. a sad blow for the
wistful, waiting millions of city dwell
lers who have been looking off toward
the green fields Yet we fear there is
much to be said for Prof. Bailey's
point of view. The decrease of popula-
ton in many agricultural districts of
the Middle West has been accompanied
by an increase in output in most
