that astronomical observations might

ONE TROLLEY GRIEVANCE.

If the local trolley management
gers who are shaken and wrenched into
a ~near-collapse by the green or fresh
motorman who starts and stops his
car with a jerk that throws them on
their beam ends, both to port and star
board, perhaps it might, by investiga-
ton, learn some facts about the effect
of these practises on the mechanism
and frame of the car that will result
in some reform, for a car costs money,
and it's longevity is something to be
considered when dividends must be
earned on a heavy capitalization.
It is a common practise on the cars
of the system operating in this county
for the motorman, finding his track
obstructed by some other vehicle, to
shut off and turn on the power at in
tervals of a few seconds, with a sud-
denness that shakes the a and its
occupants with a violence that, to a
greater or less extent, Injuries both.
1t is by no means uncommo to ride in
a car the motorman of which works
his power and his brakes with the
same violence at every stop or start,
even on a clear track.
If this is the fault of a green motor
mar there is no excuse, for n so in
competent should, not be trusted with
a car except with al instructor. If 1t
is the fault of an expert but impatient
motorman, there is wen less chance of
Reuse. 1t is dangerous to some pas
sengers, but if hat doesn't count with
the management, it might find that
putting a stop to the grievance would
prolong the life of a carr A touch
on the pocketbook ought to be a telling
appeal.

COST OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The nnual cost per pupil of the New
ark public schools increased from 1900
to 1905, inclusive, from $21.58 to $27.81.
The increase in the total annual ex-
penditures was from 1884, 1922 in 1900
to 81 ,4S0, 052.61 last year. There was a
total property increase in the six years
amounting to 81, 81, 900, an increase of
nine schoolhouses and of 1924 seats.
In the same period the number of
pupils was increased by 4S.947, or 2,723
more than the increase in the seating
capacity. In 1900 there was a large ex-
cess of pupils over seating capacity,
and in the period of six years follow
ing the excess was increased by 2,723,
Notwithstanding the great increase in
expenditures and in the per capita of
cost. ,
To provide for the additional 2,723
pupils the School Board increased
the number of teachers from 1856 in
1900 to 1,1O5 in 1906, an addition of 319
teachers, or a fraction over So pupils
to a teacher, Including principals. There
has been a large expenditure for adj
ditional school accommodations this
year, and the statistics for the year will
doubtless show a still higher figure of
cost per pupil. And yet there is a wo-
full lack of school room. and there are
many half-time classes. Would not a
better administration of the schools by
a small board of men, selected for their
competency and not for their ward pol
itics, be able to provide all the school
accommodations needed at the pres
ent rate of expenditure?

M1I1r1A AVN COAST pErENsE.

In his testimony before The legisla-
tive investigating committee in New
York on National Guard matters.
Major Taylor, of that service, told his
inquisitors some truths that should
have made, and probably did make, an
impression. He pleaded that two more
regiments besides his own, the Thir-
teenth, be assigned to coast artillery
service. 1t is a fact, as reported Off
cially to the War Department, that
the coast artillery service is the weak
est in the regular army, its numerical
strength being totally inadequate to
supply the needed men to mar the
great guns now provided and to be
largely augmented. The service would,
likewise, be the hardest to recruit in
an emergency, as novices could not be
trained to the work quickly.
Major Taylor has the proper concep-
ton of the National Guard; that 1t is
not merely a police force or State con-
stabulary, but an adjunct to the ma
tional forces, and must be trained to
efficiency in all crms of the service.
1t must be ready on demand to defend
the country, and with our merely nomi-
nal standing army and our enormous
coast-line, the training of the militia
that coast-line to handle the big
guns is absolutely essential. Not
only New York. but New Jersey, and
every Atlantic and Paciic-bordering
should train a substantial pro-
of its National Guard to handle
the big coast u

A HALLOWEEN spEoTAcLE.

The Order of Elks Is a social and
benevolent organization that embraces
all classes md all creeds. Its principle
is good fellowship and goodwill among
men. 1t Is proper that this order should
take the initiative and lead in an or
ganizec celebration of Halloween, the
time honored and often dishonored fes-
tival that occurs just prior to the joy
Gus Christmastide. In surveying the
crude spectacle. on our streets at Hal
lowe'en thoughtful beholders have
seen in 1t all the elements to be welded
into a fine popular pageant. The spirit
Of revelry could be curbed and regu-
lated; the clumsy improvisations beheld
in the street could be improved on,
made artistic. and general features in
troduced to make the celebration CO.
herent and give to it some dignity. The
Elks have sketched out an admirably
good program, and they have judicious-
~ sought and obtained the c%ountenance
and aid of the Common Council to give
TO the celebration something of a mu-
nicipal character. The success of the
enterprise means the suppression of the
~disorderly demonstrations that have
been permitted in the past, the promo
ton Of civic pride and incidentally some
benefit to local tradesmen by reason OF
the influx of visitors.

Concerning Apologies.

Down in Denver one man shot and killed
another because the man slain had re-
fused to apologize for applying a vile
name to his slayer Such events are not
unusual; but. common as they are, they
point a moral, and show the danger OF
viewing any question from the wrong
angle. pf sflnsF
OF what value is an apology forced ut
the muzzle of a gun, or because the offended
man is stronger physically, and possibly
Drawer, than the man who offered the Of
Tense? Is it sincere? Does 1t wipe out
anything, or balm the hurt, or remove the
stain from honor? Obviously not.
Yet, somebody Is always seeking to
force somebody else to apologize for one
thing and another, and il the offender is
game enough to maintain what he con-
ceives to be a right attitude, or perverse
enough to persist in the wrong, the Of
fender or the offended must be shot down
on the spot. That is supposed to be the
game way of settling such issues; but is 1t
really game? "
The apology, to be of value, must be
frankly and freely offered; 1t must come
from a sincere belief that a wrong has
been committed, and the actuating motive
must be a manly desire to right the
wrong. Apologies offered under any other
circumstances have no worthy meaning.
and it is worse than foolish to attach i'm
portance to them.-Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer.

It is refreshing, IL no stronger term
is needed, to learn from its own typo
graphical lips that the Trenton Times
has discovered, or perhaps been con-
strained to admit. that 'the excise
question is the important one in the
New Jersey campaign. 1t will decide
the election. 1t cannot be evaded.''
All! A campaign of education is the
thing. What it not only refused to
admit, but repeatedly denied, the Times
now sees, by dint of compulsory abb
sorption. is really the cru of the sit
uation. But what difference will this
awakening make? That is another

FOR CLEAN COLLEGE ATHLETICS.

There is a splendid lesson to all our
universities and colleges in he stand
that Dartmouth College has taken to
promote, yes, to compel, pure college
: athletics. The faculty of the ancient
New Hampshire institution took the
lead in the practical method of enfor-
cling this when it decreed that no stu
dent who had taken part in Summer
baseball could be a member of any
Dartmouth team or participate in any
athletics as a representative of the
college.
It will be admitted by any n IA
miliar with athletic sports that the stu
len who plays through vacation on a
baseball team lays himself open to sus-
picion of receiving compensation, a
fault which takes him out of the anna
teur class. His alma mater cannot bear
the stigma of using a player tainted
with professionalism. Following up the
baseball rule Dartmouth has now made
such drastic rules in regard to basket
ball as will preclude any possibility Of
the players of that game compromising
the college.
Dartmouth is one of the older col
leges, with more than 1000 students
It's example ought to have a very
healthy influence on other institution:
of learning, that sometimes appear tt
.countenance rather shady transaction
in athletic contests.

Common sense.

A company manufacturing a proprietary
medicine used Mr.. Edison's picture to sell
n preparation which Mr.. Edison was no
willing to be sponsor for. The New Jer-
sey Chancery Court sustains Mr.. Edison
holding that a mans features, like MS
name. are his W and cannot be used by
another against the owners consent. rms
is simply common sense and common JUS
tiee that are a little late in getting fairy
and sauarely into this controversy. we
believe that this New Jersey ruling VIII

right to control the use of his own pic
ture. In New York and Michigan, in view
of the decisions already made, 1T may take
legislation to reach the same result.-Phil-
