Our Newark con,em. orary is slightly in error
in its statement. The recommendations leferred

Of Elizabeth, though We do not d.ubt that the
association VII, readily tnde's SD s Mes' sb w1iian he
no objection 10 a law wi ich would forbid the
presence in such llaces of young girls who are
not provided with safe escort and guardianship.
It would be a coed thing Il tie tA alnple of Eliza
beth and he suggestion ofMrs. W iiiam son were
followed in every city in the State Evening
Journal.
Here is one of the vagaries of benev-
olence. To save young women from
bad influences, it is proposed to arrest
them, lock them up in station houses,
hale them into police courts as disor-
derby girls, and fine them-presumably
imprison them in case the fine is not
paid.
That DR.. Fuzzboss of the Backnum-
Der should advocate such a proceed
ing is not strange. We suppose he
would go back to the pillory and
whipping post and ducking stool OF
his youth if he could. But we do
wonder that a lady OF true and prac-
tical goodness, like Mrs. Williamson,
should sanction such a horrible REM
edy for a social misfortune.
Let It's grant that much harm is
done through the picnic grounds to
young girls who go there without
their parents. Yet that evil is a on
tingent and not an inevitable one.
But what is the plan she proposesf
We think it means unqualified ruin
ruin of character, self respect, reputa-
ton and prospects,
What is a girl who has been arrested
and fined for disorderly conduct?
What is her social status2 What are
her prospects, Who SO humble as to
marry herr Who SO unsuspicious as
to employ her?
Just think again, Mrs. Williamson,
| and, if you can find no better remedy,
let the old mischief go on. 1t is the
lesser evil.

The Fire Escape Ordinance.

The Fire Escape Ordinance.
Alderman Salinger was so far ahead
of his fellows in the Board In intro
ducing any sort of fire escape ordi-
nance, that we feel disinclined to crit
icise him. But it would be q mistake
to let his measure go through with
out some remarks regarding its I'M
perfections. The most notable is the
vagueness regarding the form OF the
fire escapes and the absence OF respon-
sibility which it leaves.
On the former point it says:-
Said fire escape to be otherwise Of such
character and construction as the Board OF Al
dermen shall designate and direel. s
r Obviously it is not practicable for
the Board to pass specific plans for
every building. 1t should adopt GER
tain specifications, as is the case in
the New York law, and, these being
complied with, leave the rest to the
owners of buildings.
On the other point, the ordinance
says:-
Every person violating any OF the PROVISIONS
OF this ordinance shall be punished with a tine
of not exceeding $50 for each offence and o fur
thor penalty OF not exceeding $40 for each day
the provisions Of this ordinance are not COM
piled with, to be recovered upon a complaint OF
the Corporation Attorney or any other person
before any Of the Police Justices of Jersey City
What is everybody's business is no.
Jbody's business, and on this basis the
law would never be enforced. Indeed,
the facilities for blackmail it would
afford are remarkable. 1t should be
made the duty of the Building Inspec-
tor to pass on all fire escapes as to
their conformity with the standard
specifications. to compel their erection
on all buildings, and, with the aid OF
the Corporation Attorney to prose
cute all delinquents.
WHY does not some Democratic
member introduce a properly drawn
ordinance and force it through? Are
they all too much concerned with
plans to hide the applications for
LIQUOR licenses from til e public?

Wanser and the Rum Sellers.

l
1t is now two weeks since THE JER-
sEY Cry NEWS first drew attention
to the shameless violation of the Sun
day liquor law in this city. Mayor
Wanser has now been a week in
office. u
1t must seem odd to the clergymenl
Sunday school superintendents and
members of the Law and Order
League that His Honor has not said
one word about this constant and
systematic breach of the law. He has
found time for a good deal of politics.
He has found time for several uk &ses,
q good deal of comminatory talk, and
no small amount of handshaking but
he has not shown the least sign of
knowing that the law was systematic
ally broken, not the least recognition
of tbs fact that he was elected on the
strength Of a promise, expressed or
implied, that he would enforce it.
We prophesied, before Colonel Wan
ser was elected, that he would fall
short Of his engagements in this re-
spect. We told the anti-liquor people
that they had got hold of the wrong
man. The rumsters thought so, too,
for see how they supported him!
Read what they said of him in their
circular, issued in his favor. Here Is
the passage-
Liquor men. look to your own interests.
Did P. f. Wanser, his opponent. while Police
Justice Of our city ever fine or commit a liquor
dealere No. The Rings heelers didlock up our
President, Mr.. Pat McArdle. and place him in a
cell Of q Sunday evening. though his reputation
II above reproach, and he a property owner
worth thousands of dollars.
Now we do not propose that the
Colonel shall escape his responsible
kbAcss ~ 10 CLSup W AdAA AcuA "a
STONY" Conk's payroll. Anybody
could make a kick of that kind. 1t
is at best five-tenths politics-grant-
ing for arguments sake that the other
half of the motive is pure reform. 1t
is easy to write snowy letters to the
Street and Water Board, when you
have a smart lawyer to write them for
you.
But it would show some backbone
in Colonel Wanser to take up this
rum selling, law breaking pack Of
scoundrels, organized as the Hudson
County Liquor Dealers Association,
and put his foot on it. That would
be doing the thing that every decent
man who voted for him wants him to
do.
But that would be bad politics.
Rum elected Colonel Wanser, and the
Republican party wants the aid of
rum again this fall.
Now we say that unless Mayor
Wanser takes up this abuse in a
manly way, he is a mere humbug re-
former. It is the uppermost subject
of the day. A great movement is in
progress all about us. II he will not
Join the movement which he ought to
