FEMININE VANITY.

'It is delightful to be imbued with a
tiny bit of vanity" said a little woman.

Il am not so sure of that.

and I'm sure it is not wrong to know
what is pretty.
Lots of people only want a little bit Of

PLAYING upon MANS VANITY
A Novel Scheme for Raising NUM-
Opal Charges

Al private letter from a chief of one of
the departments of a large dynamo and
electric motor manufacturing concern in
Stuttgart, Werlingberg, Germany. says
that such busy times as they are having
in Germany nave been unexampled in the
memory of the oldest inhabitants. AS an
instance of this, he states that the W
have grown at a tremendous rate, there
being so many new streets added in Stuff
CART and other cities that the names OF
whom streets are usually namedl have
been exhausted, and the municipality has
conceived the Idea of selling the honor
of having a new street named after one
self at auction, to the highest bidder, and
it has proven a paying scheme, as many
people like 20 have their names perpetu-
ated to posterity. and are willing to pay
high for It.

The kidnapping of Mamie Me1ando.

The kidnapping of Mamie Melando
would appear to be another outrage upon
the law and the Constitution, perpetrated
In the name of justice. We do not think
the outrage is upon Molineux. The pros
ecution is strictly within its rights, so
far as he is concerned, in producing any
witness who may be able to throw light
upon the case. We do not believe he
or his counsel can raise the slightest OBJ
lection.
But, all the same. an outrage has been
girl n the State of New Jersey, which
according to the Federal Constitution is
q sovereign State. The girl as a citizen
and a resident of New Jersey, not ac-
cused of any crime, was absolutely en-
titled to remain in the State and to re-
fuse to go outside its precincts for any
purpose whatever. We might think i'll
OF her for her refusal; but it does not
matter in the least Her rights in the
~%eS HtAC simply dIiGSSdlld Dles anu
the New York authorities knew this very
well or they would not have resorted to
frickery to bring her within their juris-
diction.
That the conspiracy by which she was
trapped into New York State is a crime
against the avs of New Jersey, no one
can doubt. Everyone concerned in it is
liable to indictment in Passaic County,
from Osborne and McClusky down to the
detectives. 1t would seem that even Re
corder Goff was amenable. We can see
no good reason why everyone OF these
persons should not be indicted by the
next Grand Jury to meet in Paterson.
It would appear proper, also, that Gov
ernor voorhees, should instruct the At
tofney General of New Jersey to at once
apply for a habeas corpus for the girl in
the United States courts. 1t is a matter
Of no consequence to US how New York
gets along with her criminals. It is our
duty to protect our citizens, and assured

PRAISE FOR MR.. DAVIS.
Accommodation to Tax Payers Much
Appreciated.

Throughout the city there is heard
among the less wealthy taxpayers praise
for City Collector Robert Davis who has
established a precedent in the matter of
paying taxes. To use a homely phrase he
k the taxes by pieces in some cases. 1t
often happens with a man OF woman own
ing a small home that they haven't the
amount Of taxes ready when they are
due. Rather than enbarrass them and
the city be out Of money for some time,
Mr.. Davis has in many instances taken a
portion of the amount due, leaving a
small remainder to be paid later. This has
been a great convenience for many and
has benefited the city In this that more
money from taxes Is flowing In than ever
before and there will be fewer arrearages
TO be registered.

IN our news columns we print an ac-
count of the new Treasury regulations re-
garding the cancellation of stamps. It is
one Of those fussy pieces Of nonsense that
create contempt OF the Law and a spirit
Of resistance to it in the public mind. We
do not know whether or not the rule has
any binding force. Probably it has not.
But, whether 1T has or not. it is frivolous
and yexatious and unnecessary, M it
should be at once Withdrawn.

D-eliverer From Industrial Eerfdom.

The electrical developments Of the last

partial solution of the difficuit problem

hardly put forward his art as a panaceu
for these economic flfs-other and more
drastic remedies must come at the hands
of the long suffering people IL they would

but, nevertheless, electric power is no In
