NO MOB RULE APPEAL Address at Suffolk County Fair—Ap- plying Old - to Modern Conditions—Condemns Bosses. Morali . Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sept. 15.—Theo- dore Roosevelt said today that he is not talking revolution in declaring his new political creed. Neither is he mak- ing an -appeal to mob rule.

Colonel Roosevelt's address was de- livered at the Suffolk county fair at Riverhead on the eastern end of Long Island. “I .have noticed a good deal of com- ment on my speech on new national- ism,” he said. “All that new nationl- ism means is the application of cer- Trolley Brakes Refused to Work RUNAWAY CAR IN HARTFORD SMASHES INTO ANOTHER. | THREE INJURED Chicago Man Thrown Off on Curve and Seriously Hurt—Front and Rear Brakes Both Useless.

Advice to Metropolitan Dailies. “Mark Twain said there are 869 dif- ferent kinds of lies, but the only one which was authoritatively forbidden was that of bearing false witness against vour neighbor. There are one or two metropolitan dailies which would do well to print that at the head of their colymns and try to live up to it. T withhold their names, but the omission is easily supplied. Dishonest Politician Confuses the Public. “There dre two prime. difficuities in getting sood government. One arises from the dishonest politician. I thini the corrupt politician no worse an enemy of the people than the man who lies ‘about the honest public servant. The damage hie does is 1o the public, in so confusing the public by attacking the men who are honest that the pub- lic ceases to be able to recognize and to war azainst the men who are dis- honest. Such a man is of the greatest advantage to the thief. The corrupt politician is no worse than that corrupt politician’s mainstay, the newspaper which says what is not true about men in public life. Honmesty, truth, courage —you need them just as much in pub- lic as in private life, Bosses Allied With Special Privileges. “Insist upon justice.

Coroner Recommends Revoking Chauf- feur's License. sted, Sept. 15.—Coroner Richard Higgins today made his finding in automobile accident on Sapt. 4 just outside of Torrington, in which Hen- ry Linstead. a_young dentist of Tor- rington, was kilied. The machine was owned and dviven by Victor E. Toillon, and waile the coroner does not hold anyone criminally responsible for the accidant, and says the evidence sub- mitted was to the effect that the car was not going at a rapid rate. vet the silent evidence of the condition at the place where the tragedy occurred lsads 1o the belief that the car was running at a greater speed than ad- mitted. He savs that considering this in connection with the fact that Toillon has a reputation for fast driving, “he recommends that Toillon’s license to operate a car be revoked.” Former Actress Held up at Customs House.
