CHILD ESCAPES
RUNNING HORSE
Little Mary Roaan Slightly
Bruised by Fall.

In attempting to get out of the
path of a runaway horse in Fayette
street, yesterday afternoon little
Mary Rogan, of Hall avenue, fell
and received badly lacerated right
arm besides cuts and bruises about
the face and body.
A large work horse belonging to
A. M. Metzendorf, of New Brunswick
avenue, was at the PolkoWitz livery
stable when the rain and wind
caused 1t to start On wild flight
down the street. Seeing the approach
of the frightened steed, bystanders
at State and Fayette street pulled
several small children from the path
way but the Rogan girl became ex-
cited and fell down on slippery pave
ment.
Several attempts to stop the horse
in Fayette street proved futile. Down
the street it went and many were
of the opinion that the animal would
find a berth in the river at the foot
of the street. The animal when
Front street was reached slowed
down and turned into Front street,
where 1t was captured.

THE VOICE OF THE "FAN"
AND ITS EFFECT UPON
BASEBALL PLAYERS

In the August American Magazine,
Hugh S. Fullerton writes an amusing
and entertaining article on the base
ball fan Following is an extract:
1T is a magnificent crowd, wonder
full in its spirit and in its intense 10y
atty. There are few things that
shake an opponent like the inces,
SAINT: Get a hit" Get a hit which
is the war song of the Sog rooters
when they scant victory.
one OF the most dramatic displays
of loyalty | ever saw was in 1907
when the team, beaten and displaced
from the championship, came home
to close the season. They had gone
away in high hopes, and failed. 1t
was Sunday, and as the defeated
team marched down the field seven
teen thousand men and women stood
silent and uncovered for a moment
then broke into applause that swept
the stands. It is small wonder that
team backed always by such 10y
seemed much weaker than its oppon'
atty won even during years when 1t
seemed much weaker than its oppon-
ents.
I have heard opposing players de,
clare they would rather face any
thing in the game than the grinding

the grasping, nerve racking, long
Yale yell.
Not all players are frank enough
to admit the roofing has any effect
Indeed IL is a common pose to pre-
tend that they do not even hear. But
they do. Even among themselves
they pretend they do not care; but
once in a while they tell their inner

Seventeen Million Voters.

The indications are that the total
vote of the United States in the COM
ing November election will reach
about 100000.
The two latest states are New Mex
leo and Arizona, with a combined
population of about 100000, making
the total number of states forty
eight, and the indications are that
the two states will cast 1875, 900 bal
lots.
The aggregated voters in the Unit
ed States in 1904 footed up more
than 13,520,00O. In 1908 this had
been advanced to some 14,88S,0O0
With the extraordinary growth in
population in the intervening four
years the presumption is that the ag-
gregate vote in November will reach
some 100000. Not only is the
rapid increase in population since
1908 unparalleled, but the spirited
rivalry to get out the voters at the
polls at the coming election will be
an incentive such as never before has
been witnessed.

That Airship Di saster.

Man in his flight to conquer the
air met with another terrible defeat
at Atlantic City, n. j., a few days
ago. when the giant dirigible bal
loon. Akron, fell from the height OF
1000 feet, killing it's builder, Melvin
Vaniman, and the four members OF
the crew.
Me1vin Vaniman had long dreamed
of constructing such an airshlp as
would carry him and a crew OF sew
eral men across the Atlantic. Every
effort only served to convince MIN
that he would succeed and that
trip across the ocean was mat
ter of the near future.
Tuesday of last week more than
5000 persons assembled to see Vanl-
man and his crew make another eff
fort. A hundred policemen and fire
men held the guide ropes until the
word to release was given. The
great ship rose rapidly and seemed
under complete control, circling over
the inlet and over the land apparent
ly at the will of the inventor. The
giant craft had been in the air 20
minutes and was sailing at a hight
of 1 900 feet over the sea when the
huge gas envelope exploded and burst
into flames. Almost insta1 thy the
great ship began to fall with tremen-
dous velocity, plunging into the sea
and crushing or drowning all on
board.
With the destruction of the Vani-
man airship and the attendant loss
of life the dirigible balloon idea has
received a blow from which it Will
be long in recovering.

Where Reform Must Begin.

The Progressive Farmer, in an ed1-
torial discussing political reform,
advances some ideas and makes sug-
gestions that are both true and time
ly. Where the national government
touches a man once the affairs of his
county and township touch him
dozen times" it says. "They are
things from which he cannot es-
cape, and they deal with the fun
damentals of life Good govern
ment will never be had so long
as the people spend all their
enthusiasm on presidential and SEN
atorial and gubernatOrial candidates
and remain Indifferent to the men
who handle their county finances and
who look after such vital things as
their neighborhood schools, the local
roads, the preservation of local
health and the maintenance of order
in their immediate communities.
These are not little jobs, and it is
to give of the best of his ability to
the doing of any one of them. They
are entirely too important matters
to be entrusted to men who have
kept their intellects dormant for so
long that the moss has grown over
them or who wish the places simply
for the petty graft they make posi-
BILE.
Don't neglect your local officials
or the administration of your local
affairs" urges our contemporary.
''They are really of more Importance
to you than the supposedly big mat
tiers of national policy, and you can
have a great deal more to do with
determining whether OF not they are
carried on as they should be. More
than this, the individual is very like
" to be great deal like the neigh
borhood in which he grows up. If
YOU want clean politics and efficient
government in state and nation see

politics and efficient government in
your town and county. Then the men
who grow up in your neighbOrhood
and your county can safely be trust
ed when they are sent out into the
larger fields of state and national
politics. The man who carelessly
sits by and allows his county taxes to
be squandered or his town run by
incompetents or Indifferent and neg
lectful officials has no right to be
shedding tears over the decadence
of the United States senate or the
demagogism of gubel Material and
presidential candidates"
