The news from the Essex bal
lot boxes went ringing round the
(mmtry. Friends of tlio inter
ests and weak-kneed disciples of
true government by the people
exclaimed, “I told you so. An
other reformer has bit the dust;
another popular idol has been
battered.”
But it was a jubilation prema
ture—a lamentation wasted.
Truth is long overtaking a lie
hnt in this ease the Jersey truth
was so large and the lie born in
Essex so small that the chase was
short. The lie was bagged before
its second lap.
But Essex county got the ad-
ertising. It was run up on a
, innacle of questionable fame,
(hit of the twenty-one counties of
New Jersey, it was the only one
which did not, in the Democratic
primaries, nominate Woodrow
Wilson’s candidates for the leg
islature.
Here’s a bit of explanation:
Essex county is the stronghold
if ex-Scnator Smith and ex-Boss
Nugent, both of whom owe the
ex” before their titles to Wood-
w Wilson. The exclamation
‘Oh, I see!” therefore comes
easy.
Since Wilson left Princeton for
public life, not one setback has ho
received, cither in popular esteem
or in his efforts to restore "the
government to the people.
He shook New Jersey out of
the political unconsciousness into
which it had been clubbed by
predatory interests, took the
clubs from the highwaymen, gave
them to the state, and bade it
fsre forth and fight for its rights.
With ^ a heart-felt “Much
obliged,” the state proceeded to
follow his bidding'.
It passed all the remedial leg-
3.i(,uii suggested by him and
found it good.

Some Snapshots From the GUdden Tour
COMMERCE IS NOON STOP
Run from Anderson, S. C., to
Gate City of the South on
Fast Schedule.
By PERCY H. WHITING.
Commerce, Ga., Oet. 21.—By U
o'clock today the GUdden tour machtnea
hod begun to olio Into Commerce full
force. The run from Anderson was an
easy one and It ls doubtful If there waa
a penalty. A broken bridge and a few!
bad mud holes were the only bad spots.
Except for these places, the roads were
a standing Invitation fur beating It all
along. At Commerce there were hun
dreds of people to greet the tourists and
the reception was a corker.
As little time as possible was con
sumed here, and after a hurried lunch
the Gllddenltes began checking out and
beating It Atlantaward. The first car
checked out at 12:30 o’clock.
TOURISTS HAVE FINE RUN
FROM CHARLOTTE ONWARD
Anderson, S. C, OcL 21.—"Off tor At
lanta! "
That was the GUdden tour cry this
morning when the big cavalcade of au
tomobiles started rolling toward the
Gate City of the South. And a wel
come cry It waa to the contestants, for
never did the prospect of flrat-class ho
tel and home accommodations, plenty
of baths and a chance for a two days
rest look any more Inviting.
The get-away was made at S o'clock
under slightly cloudy skies and with
good luck, coupled with good guidance,
the flrst machines should haul up at the
checking station at Buckhead by* 3.1E
p. m, Atlanta time.
The city of Commerce Is set for the
noon stop and the run there from here
Is a bit over 64 miles. With the lunch
out of the way. the party will heat It at
top speed to Atlanta, which Is a run of
7S miles. The fast schedule le called for
by the referee’s bulletin, and that means
that the big machines will teke three
hours and 46 minutes to run from Com
mtree to Atlanta, while the alow ma
chines will require four hours and 60
minutes. As the start after lunch will
be made at 12116 to 12:30 o'clock
(eastern time). It Is easy to guess when
the machines will finish the first long
>f their Journey to Jacksonville,
ls a cinch that the big machines
are going to beat It good and proper on
this day's run and the people along the
roads are certain to see some high
speed work. Caution will be thrown to
the winds and the drivers will be pre
pared to bat the machinery out of their
cars If necessary to get Into Atlanta
flea*
first.
Just how glad the tourists were at
the prospect of seeing Atlanta was
demonstrated last night when parties
roamed the streets tinging "Homs,
Sweet Home," and other choice ditties
and giving a pretty fair imitation of
splitting a town wide open. This It the
first time on this trip that there has
been any such celebration, and It spoke
much of what the .Gllddenltes expect of
their stay In Atlanta.
Only three can were assessed penal
ties on Friday's GUdden run from
Charlotte to Anderson, and the pros
pects are that the machines now run
ning will turn up In Atlanta with vir
tually the same scores which they hod
yesterday.
The machines that were penalised
Friday were No. 7, a White that was
given nine more points to add to the
eighteen It had before, and a few more
to add to the already robust' totals of
Nos. 60 and 71. These penalties dtd
not make any material changes In the
team scores.
.The Maxwell machines, the Tarry-
town team, still lead with Atlanta No,
2 second, and the Jacksonville team ,i
good third.
Friday's run from Charlotte to^An
derson was a repetition of Thursday's
jaunt. There wasn’t a mile of bad
road In all the 160 that were covered,
and the cars rolled along with hardly
bounce.
Longest Half Day.
The trip from Charlotte to Spartan
burg. where the party lunched, was
80 miles, the longest half day thus tar.
But It was easy as shooting fish for
the Ollddsn party. The fasetest
schedule was In order, but It could have
been a lot faster and not have bother
ed. Any old schedule works out all
right so long as the roads are good.
It la the mud that has done the dam
age. A day of less event could not have
been Imagined. There were no formal
receptions, no accidents, few penali
zations little tire trouble, and nothing
much but fast running over good roads
and under a clear sky. It was a cinch.
Just how easy It was cau be judged
from the fact that The Georgian dele
gation, now traveling In style In s
Marathon car, took a large nap dur
ing the afternoon run, and, caught up
tome back sleep. That same stunt at
tempted In Virginia or Pennsylvania
would have been equivalent to suicide,
and an awful form at that.
The country traversed was rather
thickly populated for the Carollnas,
and there was evidence on every side
of a grand cotton crop. Innumerable
cotton mills were passed, and all of
them seemed to be In Active operation.
The whole countryslue had apparently
taken A half holiday, and the audience,
tho not large, was highly enthusiastic.
They cheered, pelted the tourists with
flowers and cotton bolls, and showed
that they were , glad to welcome the
show. There were drawbacks to the
floral end of the performance, for In
stance. when a Urge husky feminine
mill bad hit an occupant of a car with
a bunch of thick set chrysanthemums.
Tjte car was going fast In one direction
and the flowers, with equal rapidity.

Vansteenberg, a pretty eighteen-year-
old girl, who lived with her parents,

three bullet holes In her chest, a half
mile south of East Park, a suburb.
The girl's death has become a mys

Beside the girl's body was found a
revolver with three of Its chambers
empty. One of the bullets had pierced
her heart. Tho police at first were in

suicide, but other circumstances which
have come to light may resalt In anoth

Besides the pistol, an electric flash
lamp was lying near the body.

in which they were sen), and let it go
at that. At a dozen places there
were signs ot welcome, and at one point

sign of welcome containing this com

The Nashville. Chattanooga and SL
Louis railroad as lessee of the'Western
and'Atlantic, thru-a stringent clause In
the lease contract. Is bound to observe
the Georgia freight classification, even
on Chattanooga shipments.
This is the decision that Governor
Hoke Smith has reached after a confer
ence with Attorney General Felder and
J. K. Hines, special attorney tor the
railroad commission, held In the exec
utive offices Friday nftornoon.
The governor's decision means that
the Georgia classification will be or
dered Into operation upon the Western
and Atlantic railroad to replace the
Southern classification now operated by
the Nashville, Chattanooga anil
Loulsrfallrood over the state's line.
Whllher the enforcement of the lease
clause, held to give the state power to
enforce Its classification, will lead to a
long legal battle ls problematical, but It
Is believed that the matter will be set
tled without recourse to the courts.
At any rate. •Governor Smith’s de
cision will bring a show-down of the
actual strength of the state’s lease with
the N, C. & St. L. as far ns freight
rates arc concerned and bring to a close
the famous rase of the Atlanta Freight
bureau, which has been the bugaboo of
the railroad commission, and put up to
two governors for final adjudication.
The N„ C. A St. L's. application of
the Southern classification upon Chat
tanooga shipments or Interstate ship-
menu to Georgia basic points caused
the Atlanta Freight bureau to petition
the railroad commission to apply the
Georgia classification.
After a lengthy hearing the railroad
commission sent the case to former
Governor Joseph M. Brown, who re
turned It to the commission for addl
tlonal detail. asaerting s that the change
In rates should be suggested by the
his the commission declined to do
on the grounds that an attempt on the
part of tjte commission to prescribe
rates en Chattanooga shipments would
be a violation of interstate commerce
regulations.
Shifted to the bottom, the rase went

basis that It went to Governor Brown,

Philadelphia, Oot, 21,—The weather
hoodoo waa again on the job today to
disappoint the fans who are eagerly
anticipating the fourth clash between
i the New York Giants and the Philadel
phia Athletics In the struggle for the
world's championship. Rain fell heav
ily during the forenoon and conditions
were such that It was announced early
In the day, after an Inspection, that
Shibe park was a veritable swamp. Tile
grounds were ankle deep with mud and
water and there were no, signs ot a let
up In the rain's steady downpour.
Following Instructions Issued by the
national commission before it left for
New York last night, the members of
the umpiring corps went to Shibe park
between 7 and 8 o'clock and viewed tho
field. They could not see a chance to
play today and freely said so.
Idltnszs Begins to Pall.
The Idleness* has begun to pall upon
the members of both teams. AU of tho
players art! thoroughly rested and the
danger now looming up Is (hat too
much rest may cause soaie of tho play
ers to turn stale. Their Interest, dulled
by successive days of dliapputntm.nt.
lethargy, bns settled on the fans, and
today even the Snodgrass-Baker spik
ing incident catpe la for hut desultory
discussion.
Manager McGrSw planned this morn
ing to allow his team to desert Quaker-
town for the week-end, returning fiom-
New York on Monday.
"Bain todav was certainly a hard
blow." said Connie MackT manager of
the Athletics “Saturday Is always a
good baseball day In Philadelphia and
pleasant weather today would have
brought out a record crowd. The mem
bers of the Athletics’ team are Jn flno
shape for the fourth game, and they
feel no fears as to the outcome. The
enfrreement of rest has now given us
a full and fit pitching staff.”
Sams With the Giants,
The same conditions apply to the
Giants. McGraw today has Mathewson.
Marquard und Ames at his disposal to
pick from to take the mound In the next
game. With the lull in Interest, bet
ting has reached s standstill, altho the
Athletics arc still two to one favorites
for the outcome of the series.
Prospects of another sensation,
threatened over the moving picture
rights, loomed larger today. Members
of both teams are up tn arms today pre
pared to enforce what they deem their
rights tc a share of the enormous re
ceipts that tne pictures will draw. Re
ports that a Chicago firm cleaned up
3100,000 from last year's moving pic
tures have stirred up both aggregations

conferences held between Christy
Mathewson, of the Giants, and repre-
sentatlcer. of the .Athletics, formal de.
mand probably will be made to the
national commission that a percentage

era. In lieu of this, ths playerr will
ask an explanation as to where the re
