what stereotyping Is.

To tho Editor Of the Evening Star:
What is the process of stereotyping.
which, as 1 nave been told, avoids the use
of type in printing? r. ]. G.
[~Stereotpying is the process of casting
mental plates containing the impressions
of the arranged type. This type is first
arranged In the desired manner In a square
steel frame. known as a Chase" the size
of the page or pages TO be printed. In the
next step In this process a series of sheets
of prepared plotting paper and tissue paper
dampened by paste and carefully spread
over the surface of the type and afterward
subjected simultaneously to great pressure
and heat, which in a few minutes pro-
duees a stiff cardboard with the impress
sion of type infinitely recorded. The device
used bears some resemblance to an ordi-
nary copying press. From this matrix is
the metal plate cast from molten lead,
much in the same manner in which cast
ings Of machinery are made.-Ed.l

Trolley lines ave spread wonderfully in
New Jersey, though that State has a re-
markable network of steam railroads. A
thirty-eight million dollar combination of
these New Jersey trolley lines is now pro-
jected. Here is a vivid reminder of the
growth of this relatively new idea in trans
p~ortation, which really had its birth in
Boston less than twenty years ago. A
thirty-eight million dollar trolley corpora
ton will have a high rank even in New

man to another. A few moments be-

osEvEIT TO THE PEOPLE.

lin the
~ o,ysident Roosevelt embraced the
b ,~rtunity of the laying of the cor
'-stone of the Pilgrim Memorial
Monument at Provincetown, Mass, to-
day to make one of his frank and
Wholesome talks to the American peo-
pie. He spoke in general terms Of the
present-day duties and responsibilities
of government, and touched upon some
of the great problems that confront the
nation and which he is courageously
trying to solve. Most appropriately
the President cites the example of the
Puritan pioneer with his stern ideals
of duty, his rugged honesty and un-
quailing courage in c%onquering the will
derness as an inspiration for us in our
generation in dealing with the new
and complex conditions and questions
that have arisen.
1t is with half contempt that the
President refers passingly to those adj
visers who would IulI the nation into
'ignoble ease" or who would teach
us to admire successful w~rongdoing."
The Puritan tanned the wilderness"
and his descendants must try to
trial civilization by new devices and
new methods" The President adverts
to the questions of national n State
sovereignty, which. he says, must be
treated not empirically or academical-
ly, but from the standpoint of the
interests of the people as a whole"
National and State rights are to be
upheld lin SO far as they mean the
peoples rights. and especially so in
dealing with the relations of the peo-
pie as a whole to the great corpora
tons"
President Roosevelt speaks plainly
on the subject of colossal fortunes. He
would restrict fortune-getting within
limits, and especially the fortunes
made by chicanery. Discussing the
c~riminality of men controlling large
capital, he deprecates the view held
by some that unless a man is proved
guilty of some particular crime, he
shall be counted a good citizen no
matter how Infamous a life he has
led. In the category of such men the
President includes the predatory cap
italist and the sinister anarchist leader
and agitator. He lrepeats II en-
phasizes his opinion of the undesirable
citizen" IN interesting statement by
the report that the Department of JUS
tice would 'in certain contingencies
and for certain purposes put law
breaking trusts in the hands of re-
ceivers. The set purpose Of the adj
mlnistration vas to be carried out by
any lawful a The trust evil must
be stamped out.
An invocation of sanity and the
avoidance of extremes in the consid-
GRAFTON of great public questions closes
the address. While, also, legislation
is essential for the correction of
evils in the nation, yet 1--WE can never
afford to forget that in the last 'analy-
sis the all-important factor for each
of us must be his own individual char
acter."

On the Democratic side there is Just as much uncertainty
as to what the State Convention may or ought to do Cd the
liquor question. Some of the most influential leaders are
against touching it at all in the platform.

the Bishops laws are with us. A formal declaration on on
part couldn't help us any but it might drive votes away from
us in the rural districts"
Here, again, you find men who argue that the best kind o
politics is the straightforward kind and that frankness pay
in the end. They would have the party come out hatfootet
for the repeal or modification of the Bishops laws. Some o
them would go even further and nominate Senator Jhi

Senator Latimer, of South Carolina, has been touring Europe
as a member of the Congressional Immigration Commission. He
says that what he saw tends to dsprove the old tradition that
only the best and bravest cross the seas. He found that "the
best men and women were generally satisfied and prosperous
under local conditions and these do not einigrate.' y
The Senator's observations were superficial and, consequent
ly, they are a blending of fact and fancy. Those who know
the conditions and have had an opportunity 10 study the prob
lem from every point of view know that we get the best and
the worst of Europes population. Undesirable citizens from
all parts of the globe come here-sometimes of their own accord
and sometimes with the assistance of either relatives or the pub
lie authorities. But the bulk of our immigration is made UP
of sturdy, ambitious young men and women who are willing to
work and who believe that nowhere else in the world can they
find the opportunities and the rewards open to them here. If
Senator Latimer means that nearly all of these people are poor
he is correct, but that doesn't make them any less desirable.
Whats I'VE want are people of vigorous health. moral, mental and
physical, and of Industrious habits. If we get these we can
afford to get along without the 'best people" who are content
to remain in Europe. j. M.

To the man on the fence it will be great fun watching
the two parties in this State trying to dodge the Bishops law
issue in their Convention platforms. Among the Republican
leaders there is considerable diversity of opinion as to what is the
best thing to do. Those from Essex, Hudson and Passaic are
mostly DESTROYS of ignoring the matter entirely in the platform,
leaving each county to do IFS own resolutng. Their argu-
ment is that a fiat declaration of the State Convention in favor
of upholding and maintaining the existing laws would be dis
astrous in the industrial communities of Northern New Jersey.
Other leaders hold a different view. They take the ground that
the party is, and will be held, responsible for the Bishops laws
and that the way of political wisdom is to stand courageously
by that action without any circumlocution.

The Republicans who stood boldly for an Endorsement of
the Bishops laws, and their enforcement, point to the results in
Essex County last year as a n alleged vindication of their atti-
tude. Both Republican and Democratic platforms here repudiated
the Bishops laws, and the result was an independent Republican
ticket which poned just enough votes to beat the regular
Republican Assembly ticket and gave the House of Assembly
to the Democrats. The contention of Republican leaders who
champion ouspoken advocacy of the Bishops laws is THAT in
Essex County all those opposed to the laws in question voted
the Democratic ticket anyway and .that the Republicans lost the
nine thousand and odd votes of the independents who would
otherwise have voted the regular ticket. They say that the
conditions have not changed; that the opponents of the Bishops
laws will again vote the Democratic ticket, but that in the
county, as ( whole, there is a Republican majority if the party
will face the issue boldly.
