YANKEE “RUBBERNECK COACHES”
THREATEN LONDON HORSE 'BUS
Americans and “Country Cousins” in Sight-Seeing Automobiles a
Seven-Day Wonder. " What Was Seen on Trip Around Town.
LONDON, August 22.—Anmong
American visitors to London the pop
ularity of the ’'bus for sight-seeing
purposes is seriously threatened by
the introduction of the ‘‘rubberneck
coaches.” It will be hard for stay
at-home Americans to realize that
the sight-seeing automobiles are
still a seven-day wonder to the na
tives, who line up on the curbs and
stare the occupants out of coun
tenance. lln an American city if a
‘“rube wagon’’ doesn’t roll by every
five minutes one expects to see an
‘‘extra’”’ on the street announcing a
block in traffic.
Seeing London from the top of a
“rubberneck coach” is almost as sat
#sfactory as looking at the envelopes
of the correspondence in a breach
of promise case. But it is an inno
vation in a city that is chary of such
things and the ‘“‘country cousin’ has
taken to it like a naughty boy to
the jam closet. Fighting for front
seats with that interesting rural in
dividual is the American visitor,
who, bred to the habit in his native
land, hails with delight this latest
evidpnce of the march of the Yankee
genius. |
It will take many days for your
everyday dignified Englishman to
bring himself to advertise openly the
fact that he is a ‘“sightseer.” But
with the American it is different. He
rushes into the city with a Baedeker
in hand and doesn’t care who knows
that he is on sightseeing bent. His
time is limited and in the majority
of cases his chances of coming again
are few. So he sees London in two
hours and a half, per the ‘“‘rubber
neck coach.”
Thus it was that the five seats be
hind me were occupied by Americans
when I saw London in one of the
new coaches a few days ago. We are
frankly critical of foreign cities and
the English guide who enlarged up
on the interesting and historical feat
ures of the big, smoke-stained, old
city had about as much chance with
his carload of passengers as a mouse
has for a quiet, dignified stroll in a
suffrage meeting.
“On your right is the Marble
Arch,” called the guide, as we turned
from Oxford street into Park lane.
‘“lt is the finest arch in the city.”
“gn;” prunted the man from
New York, who was seated with his
wife directly back of me. ‘“Washing
ton Arch has it beat a hundred
miles.”
‘““We are now passing through
Park lane, the home of more mil
lionaires than any other street in the
world,” continues the guide, ignoring
the interruption from the Gothamite.
A chorus of groans arose from the
New York contingent in which they
were joined by two men in the rear.

spent their Sunday mornings prome-

FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound, made
from roots and herbs, has been the
standard remedy for temale ills.
and has positively cured thousands ot
women who have been troubled with
displacements, intlammation, ulcera
tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
perindlc pains, backache, that bear
ing-down feeling, flatulency, indiges
tion, dizziness or nervous prostration.
Why don’t you try it ?
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick
women to wrise her for advice.
She has guided thousands te¢

nading on the Lake Shore Drive.
‘‘Here are to be found the finest
residences in London, if not in the
world. The home of Lord Tweed
mouth on our left, also of the Duke
of Westminister. You may be in
terested in knowing that the large
mansion we are now approaching is
the residence of Mr. Whitelaw Reid,
the American ambassador.”” Then
followed some family details of the
Reid family and the information
that he was very rich. (The guide
subsequently confided to me, rather
as an unimportant detail, that he
was intimately acquainted with Mrs.
Reid, ““who was Miss Mills of Nevada
and California, you know.”)
AND WRITES SOME MORE HARD
| SENSE TO THE PEOPLE.
Says There Is Too Much “Me Too”
About Taft, and Gives the Dem
ocrats a Campaign Tip.
Hon. Joseph M. Brown, democratic
nominee for governor of Georgia,
will be unable to attend a rally to
be held in Atlanta under the au
spices of the Young Men’'s Democratic
League, a previous engagement pre
venting his acceptance of an invita
tion to be present.
Mr. Brown, in a letter to the presi
dent of the league, says that he had
already arranged for a trip through
north Georgia and western North
Carolina, and for this reason he
could not attend.
Mr. Brown says that indications
seem to point to a democratic victory
in November, and he gives the demo
crats a tip on campaign methods.
He says that in Mr. Taft's letter of
acceptance the” republican nominee
keeps referring to ‘“‘President Roose
velt’'s policies.”” He says the people
do 'nto like this “me t 00.,” or ‘‘re
siduary legatee” policy, and that if
this point is handled cagefully it
will be worth thousands of votes to
the democratic party. Mr. Brown's
letter follows:
“Marietta, Ga., Aug. 15, 1908
Hon. Aldine Chambers, President,
Atlanta, Ga.—Dear Sir: Answering
vour favor of August Bth. relative
to the rally on 21st. instant. will
state that 1 am deeply appreciative
of the courtesy shown me by the
Young Men's Democratic League
through your committee.
“"However, I had already arranged
for a trip through part of north
Georgia and western North Carolina,
hence will be unavoidably absent
from the state on the date of the
proposed rally.
“The news from the different sec
tions of the country seem to indicate
a victory for us in November, and
I join you in sincere wishes that this
gratifying result may ensue.
“l trust that in Georgia we may
live up to our platform declaration
of good will and discard the effects
of crimination and recrimination in
the ranks of our party.
“'Llet me, before closing, however,
suggest the following thought as be
ing worthy the consideratin of vour
meeting: Mr. Taft, the republican
nominee for president, has given us
his letter of acceptance of the nomi
nation. lln that letter he has pur
sued the usual course of nominees
in subscribing to his party’s plat
form; but he has introducel one nov
el feature, viz: He refers in several
places to ‘President Roosevelt's poli
cies.” He lauds these policies most
‘highly, and seems to think that they
iare to be perpetuated because they
are President's Roosevelt's policies.
This is somewhat a new doctrine to
be placed before Americans.
“The people do not like a ‘me too’
or ‘residuary legatee' policy. They
want a man who stands for him
self. -The counterfeit is never as
2ood as the original for the purpose
for which it was made. If we must
have either let us have the original.
When the people choose an executive
they have the right to demand that
he have his own head on his shoul
ders and that his administration,
while executing their ascertained
will, have its own individuality.
The policies which he upholds dur
ing his term of administration shall
be the people's policies. If the dem
ocrats handle this phase of the great
controversy between the parties with
the skill it merits it will be worth
thousands of votes to them. If they
will apply throughout the Union the
question which rang out from Lin
coln, Neb., and which had already
been made of force locally, viz:
‘Shall the people rule?’ we can in
deed confidently look forward to a
result which will gratify all patriots.
| Very truy yours,
l “JOSEPH M. BROWN.”

The Piccadilly home of Lord Roth
child, the London head of the great
banking family, aroused considerable
interest among the American passen
gers, who are popularly supposed to |
worship the golden heifer. !
~ We skirted the grounds of Buck-i
ingham Palace, getting a fine view of
the stone wall which encloses timm!
and of the stables, and then ran!|
down a side street to show the visi-t
tors London’s nearest approach to a|
‘skyscraper’—the Queen Anne man-|
sion. The Chicago and New York|
men sniffed audibly at the first sight |
of this twelve-story structure and |
even the lady from Boston \\':mi
caught by me smiling indulgently
through her spectacles. '
At Westminister Abbey a stop was |
made and the sights within “‘seen” in]
a ten-minute trot up and down the|
aisles and in and out of the chapels.
The houses of parliament were
pointed out as the ‘‘finest club in the
world,” and ‘‘Big Ben” was referred
to in passing as the largest clock in
existence. A run up Whitehall, past
Scotland Yard, the government of
fices, and over the very spot where
King Charles I was executed, brought
us to Trafalgar Square and the Nel
son monument. While the guide
was telling us about the various
statues which adorn the Square the |
man from Philadelphia, who was
seated at my side, said in a stage
‘whisper to me: °
I have seen statues to men who,
on land and sea, have gained signal
victories over the French, the Span
ish and the Russians. But, brother,
I have seen none to men who have
licked the Americans.”
The first sight of the Thames
caused considerable amusement.
‘“‘Looks dirtier than the Chicago riv
er,” remarked the man from the
Windy City. ‘““Muddier than the Mis
sissippi,”” was the comment of the
lady of St. Louis, who was perched
up on the back seat.
A stop was made in front of ‘“The
oOld Curiosity Shop, immortalized by
Charles Dickens,” to give some of
the passengers a chance to take a
picture of the grand old fake. The
tale of the guide was swallowed
eagerly by his hearers and most of
us licked the spoon afterwards. It
is wonderful how many people still
believe that the little old house is
the original Old Curiosity Shop in
spite of the columns that have been
printed to disprove the assertion,
and the testimony of Dickens’ own
family that the original shop stood
further downtown in Fetter Lane.
The way of the coach then lay
through the overcrowded and never
ending traffic of Fleet street, past
the scores of newspaper offices, the
former alleged palace of Cardinal
Wolsey, now an American barber
shop, and the Cheshire Cheese, al
leged resort of Samuel Johnson—
the last two of which places share
with the Old Curiosity Shop the dis
tinction of being the most venerable
and successful of London fakes—
past St. Paul's which awes even the
American by its size, and so into
Cheapside.
After looking over the Bank of
England and the Royal Exchange in
a patronizing manner the load of
Americans were taken across London
bridge to the Surrey side of the city,
where, the guide announced, “You
can gain some insight into the way
the great colonial import merchants
transact their business.”
To tell the truth, we rather caught
them off their guard, for all we saw
were a few trucks pulled up to the
curb and on them their tired drivers
lay sleeping. Our way back to Mid
dlesex county lay over Tower bridge.
The announcement of the guide that
it” was one of the greatest engineer
ing feats of the age' was received
with a ‘‘handful of =salt’’ by the
Americans, most of whom had come
to England by way of New York and
still had its ‘‘biggest’’ bridges fresh
in their minds.
“Why!” exclaimed the genuine
New Yorker. °‘“‘You could put that
bridge between the two towers of
the Brooklyn bridge during rush
hours and not strain a cable.”
But the crowning triumph came
when an excursion was made through
the Jewish quarter of London. At
home the American is rather
ashamed of the great East Side of
New York, with its incomparably
dirty Hester and Orchard streets.
But in London it becomes a source
of pride, for he finds that he can
still claim to have the dirtiest, filth
iest quarter without fear of challenge
from London.
The coach then doubles on its
track for a short distance and makes
its way through the financial dis
trict, along Cheapside and Newgate
to Holborn. The old Staple Inn,
which the guide says is probably the
oldest building in that part of Lon
don, is passed and a short detour
made to show the ‘‘crowd’” the Brit
ish Museum—of course, from the
outside. This is the last real point
of interest on the trip, and in a
short time we are again at the start
ing point—Paddington station. Thus
in two hourse and a half your Ameri
can visitor has seen more of Lon
don than most of its residents in
as many years.
‘‘Sure, we had a good time,” re
marked the man from San Francisco
on the coach. He had ‘‘done’” most
of the big American cities on his
way to the east, and believed he was
qualified to speak comparatively.
But qualified or not, he showed no
hesitancy. “London is not as inter
esting as some of the big American
cities from the top of a coach,” he
said. ‘‘One reason is that its citizens
are not as picturesque and individ
ual. For instance, the guide does
not announce ‘On the corner to our
left is Oscar Hammerstein talking
with Mme. Melba,” or ‘Bob Fitzsim
mons is seen to our right leading
his pet lion.” It appears to me that
the introduction of some such feat
ures as these would add greatly to
the interest of this city for the visi
tors,.

zema that had annoyed me a long
time. The cure was permanent.”’—
