Eastern COBnterfeiterS Are
Active at This Time
Of Year

Elizabeth. NJ j., Aug. 1S.-The
counterfeltlng Of small coins for which
offense a dozen men have been ar
rested in New Jersey within the past
ten days. is given impetus every year
at this season, according to secret
service operatives by the approach Of
the country fair" The operatives
say that the opportunities to pass bad
money at the many state and county
fairs throughout the east are such that
small counterfeiters, thieves and the
worst class of faldrs cannot let them
pass.
Some men who follow the circuit of
fairs, will do anything, except work
honestly, to make a little money and
they turn to the moulding of cheap
counterfeits to get small capital to
start some taking enterprise or TO
use In connection with the operation
OF such enterprise at the fairs. AS
result there is usually counterfelting
going on small scale in many places
throughout the east at this season.
Bad Money for countrymen.
These makers OF small coins move
from place to place and when the
fairs open the farmer, the Farmland
and the country young man who takes
his sweetheart to the country exhibit
get as many Of these counterfeits as
the iakir can turn over in exchange
for good money. II is believed that
the socalled tramps. who were found
making counterfeits near Burlington
and others recently arrested by Chief
r. Grlffin and his subordin.
ltes of the Newark Secret Service
bureau belong to a syndicate that was
preparing for the fairs.

Higgins announces that he has preference
for the senatorship. but does not name his

fight it should count. 1t seems not unlikely
that if Higgins and Odell pull together they
will settle the case.

demand for evergreens at Yuletide there

roughly Topped off, leaving raw stumps

perhaps be cut so that they would eventu-

sometimes cut more than they need, only to
throw away the least desirable of their

The owners of fields and woods near the

injured by the evergreen butchers, who
trespass upon their property and steal trees

Christmas and Charity.

From the Baltimore American.
OF all the years festivals Christmas is
the most joyous and the most generally OBJ
served Controversy is huShed by the gush
of human feeling. The irresistible tide
breaks down the barriers of theology and
sectarianism alike, and the people for a
few days exhibit the gentlest and most low
able traits of their natures. They thus
more nearly approach the ideals of Christ
than at any other season of the year.
Christmas is not the only season of joy and
good cheer, but it Is the time when men
oftenest remember that there are others
besides themselves who were born with the
capacity for enjoyment. 1t is stirring re-
Election that of the thousands who throng
the stores during the days preceding
Christmas the great majority are seeking
for something to please others than them
selves. Their eagerness and energy are
expended in behalf of friends and their
chief enjoyment will be In delighting those
whom they love. That is the true spirit of
Christmas, and 1t is more clearly under
stood and practiced with each recurrence
of the festival. From remembering friends
1t has grown into a custom to remember
others. Not only the needy and forlorn,
but the outcast has come to know and feel
the spirit of Christmas. Just as nothing
human was foreign to Christs teachings so
today nothing that bears the semblance of
humanity is too humble or too despicable
to be driven beyond the pale of human
sympathy.

The Japanese in the Indian Ocean.

There can be no further doubt as to the
plan of the Japanese government to meet
the advancing Russian fleet half way on
It's course TO the far east and give battle.
A report from Singapore states that two
japanese cruisers called at that port this
morning and left shortly afterward. and
the encouragement was made that two bat

The Sidewalks in Winter.

1t is no argument against the necessity or
the provision of some method to insure
clean sidewalks in winter to declare that
the householders and property owners gen.
orally clean off the walks anyway. The
fact is that they have been educated In thal
good habit by years of pressure under the
discarded snow law, which the Commas
sioners employed to good effect in keeping
up the standard of individual performance.
Now that this menace of prosecution ana
fine has been wholly removed, it is by no
means unlikely. but on the contrary very
likely. that there will be decided letting
down from year to year in the matter OF
sidewalk cleaning. 1t is undeniable that
the fear of visit from the policeman on
the beat spurred the average resident in the
past days to an early bout with the shovel
or the expenditure of the quarter that
might save a dollar and a visit to the Po-
lice Court.
1t is not difficult to imagine what Wash
ington will be in the future if no snow law
is enacted that will stand the court tests or
Congress does not appropriate annually in
large sums for the cleaning of the walks at
public expense. Dependence upon the sun
as a cleaner will be the rule, rather than
the exception. One mans bad example will
spread to his neighbors on both sides. 1t
Will be the very rare city block that Is
cleaned from corner to corner, and the
usual block that shows one-quarter of the
fronts cleaned by those residents who still
hold to old-fashioned views of public duty.
a failure to provide a law to compel
householders to do their own cleaning or
public funds to do it for them will inevita-
bly, result in many accidents and in a flood
OF damage suits against the municipality
each winter. Is it good government to pre-
fer to pay such damage claims rather than
to eXpend money for cleaning? Is that the
right way to look at the case? Should the
comfort and safety and health of the COM
munity be reduced to this sordid basis? To
see that the sidewalks are cleaned is a
municipal duty. and it is only as a factor
reducing the expense of performing this
duty that the city should consider how
much money would annually be saved from
the damage recorded by wholesale clear
ing of footpaths through the snow. 1t must
also be borne in mind that the sufferings
entailed by a condition such as seems in
evitable If no action is taken in one direc-
ton or the other to secure clean walks will
not all be represented by suits in court
Ihere VIII be disease that, while assuredIy
traceable to the bad walks, could not be so

never assess in damages, caused directly by

A Triumph of the Vernacular.

The vernacular is rapidly invading our
political speech and lending to it some very
enjoyable and picturesque effects. This is
not the work of men whose vocabularies
are limited or whose reading is slight, but
rather of those who express themselves
when they choose felicitously in the ac-
cepted forms of ceremony. They are drop
ping into colloquialisms because they find
them easy and breezy and convey SO much
to the everyday understanding. They en-
ploy the speech of the people for all the
people and make an apt word or a phrase
play the limit.
Mr.. Hanna urged his party to stand pat
on the tariff question. and the phrase has
taken firm hold on the discussion of the
subject. 1t conveys precisely the meaning
that its adapter intended. Out of it has
grown the word 'standpatter," and that
thoroughly identifies the man who opposes
any change whatever in the present tariff
schedules. 1t is likely, too. to outlive the
present controversy. and certain to be as
sociated with the story of Mr.. Hanna's
public services.
Mr. Roosevelt has spoken for the square
deal''-a solid, homely phrase which carries
a good deal. Everybody gathers at once
what that means. The leader who lives
up to that will not fail of a following, or
of controlling his following while he does
live up to it. A printed page or phi
would not convey more, and it might be
much less effective. The unlettered and
the lettered man alike are reached by 1t.
Senator Plat of New York is at home at
close grips with rival for supremacy. He
has no fattering opinion of him, and no
hesitation about confessing as much. He
is talking with the utmost freedom for
publication. and in terms which show that
he keeps in as close touch with the popular
phrases of the day as with the affairs of
state and business. Asked by reporter If
ne had invited his rival to a conference to
consider their differences he replied. Not
on your life!" And then he explained, still
holding to the vernacular I've been bun
coed long enough" Now. he would be a
dull man who could not gather from those
two sentences not only Mr. Platt's meaning
to the particular matter in hand. but his
feelings in general toward his rival No
conventional speech would in the circum-
stances have served quite SO well.
But as the slang of one era sometimes
becomes a part of the classicisms Of the
succeeding era why should not political dis
course avail itself of what is current and
expressive in The common speech below
stairs?
