He had been going to see her for a
long time, but never stated the object
of his visits, and she was DESTROYS of
knowing something of the future. He
met her one night at the house of a
mutual friend and seemed to be quite
sad. After several well developed
signs he said. Life is full, very full
of bitterness, isn't it?" "Oh, I don't
know!'' she responded cheerily. II

"Possibly not now, Mary, but the bit

If an investigator takes a trip along
Springfield avenue he will find the ave-
nue. on both sides for a long distance
full of shoppers. That avenue is devel-

purchasers. thousands of whom come
from neighboring towns. The impress
sion also is that u city is nightly

A SLY AND FuRr1vE CORPORATION.

East Jersey Water Company influ-
ences is all p~ervasive and all persua-
sive. 1t is wonderful in how many
things it appears. And it is so unob-
~trusive, too. The East Jersey Water
Company agent doesn't take a brass
band around with him, and he wears
no insignia. He rarely appears in an
East Jersey Water Company character
at all. He may be a lawyer or a public
official, or a business a but his OBJ
ject is not proclaimed from the house
tops. He is furtive in speech and act.
The East Jersey Water Company is
''devilish sly" 1t has accomplished its
ends many times by slyness. The mem
DRY reverts to that supplemental con-
tract for the Newark water supply
by which the city was swindled out of
a quarter of a million dollars. The Job
was done furtively, and nobody sus-
pected there was such an explosive
joker in the contract until it was too
late. BY furtive opposition at Trenton
the company prevented for years the
carrying out of the plans for a trunk
sewer. Jersey City has been the vic
tim of it's furtive tactics, and will suffer
more injury and loss If this sly corpo-
ration can carry out its latest furtively
promoted scheme. The attempt by the
East Jersey Water Company to seize
the Newark water plant at Bellevil1e
was frustrated. 1t may be renewed.
East Jersey Water Company influences
is opposed to Newark taking its ice from
its own reservoirs in the P~equannock.
Public officials who are known to be in
sympathy with the company's objects
stand in the way of a municipal ice
supply. They are serving the interests
of the company against the interests
of the people of Newark. The Potable
Water Commission act was slyly
amended in the interest of the East
Jersey Water Company, and the trick
was played by men who pretended to
act in the interests of the municipali-
ties. Sly and f~urtive, grasping and un-
scrupulous, the East Jersey Water
Company needs to be constantly
watched. 1t has well earned the char
acter of a public enemy.

THE WATER BILL AMENDMENTS.

A committee of the Senate will report
q bill amending the Potable Water
Commission act. A bill embodying
amendments has also been introduced
In the House. The law must be recon-
structed on public lines. and every word
and line in the text that was inserted
for the benefit of the East Jersey Water
Company must be eliminated. The
watersheds and waters of the State are
for the public benefit, not for CONNER
cial exploitation.
The corporate squatters, with their
shady rights, should have no considera-
ton. They are not manufacturers, with
industrial plants; they do not have the
standing of railroad companies. which
own rights of way on the land and
serve the public in transportation.
They possess no more rights than other
riparian owners. Now is the time and
opportunity to fully assert public con-
troll of the water supply of the State.
There should be no ambiguity in the
act to be passed. 1t should be as clear
as MONDAY.

CONCENTRATION or CHARITIES.

A worthy project that is entirely
practicable and should commend itself
to the minds of all who take an inter-
est in charitable work is that of the
erection of a building. centrally located,
to be used as a headquarters for the
United Charities and to afford office
room for all the organizations that are
working in the cause of charity and
philanthropy.
These organizations are now estab-
lished in separate offices and pay sep
arate rents. and If they can be located
in a single large building adapted to
their purposes their work will be cen
trallzed and harmonized, and their ex-
penses may be economical. By CO.
operative effort, such a building may be
erected and ultimately pay for itself or
yield an excess of income to be devoted
to charitable work. The project is so
inviting that it cannot fail to win the
favor Of charity workers and business
men.

MUNICIPAL Law BREAKING.

1t is a serious thing when municipal
obey a State law as Jersey City and
other Hudson County municipalities did
In the matter of assessing taxes last
year. The Constitution provides for
assessments at real value, but the point
as to what the Constitution means was
80 befogged by judicial decisions and
false interpretations hat there never
was a pretense of real value in the as
easements until last year, when the
constitutional mandate was reinforced
by a mandatory statute.
In Newark a conscientious attempt
was made to obey the statute. In Jer-
Eey city'it was deliberately and system
ntically violated. Property was as
Eessed on the basis of percentage. The
Hudson County Equalization Board in
"a report to the State board arraigned
Jersey City, Hoboken and two other
municipalities for gross violation this
year. 1t is also charged that there has
been discrimination in the allotting of
tax values. Jersey City escaped reas-
Bessment only by a technicality. and the
bad work of the assessors this year
will involve more litigation. The de-
cision by the courts shows an imper-
fection in the law that should be cor
rected by legislation.
AS the Jersey city Journal shows,
while the State board can remove
assessors, there is nothing to prevent
their reappointment, and there is no
punishment. The county board can add
a percentage of ratables in a taxing
district, but in that case the just and
the unjust alike are punished. AS the
Legislature is in session some amend
ment to the law car be passed.

NEWARK CROWDS AND GROWTH.

There is no civic centre in any city of

crowds are surging in the streets. the

THE COMING NAVAL SPECTACLE.

THE COMING NAVAL SPECTACLE.
If the navy program of sending nine
teen battleships to the Pacific in the
fall is carried out, the world will be
afforded one of the most imposing naval
pageants in its history. The Russian
Baltic fleet that made the sensational
journey to the Far East, only to be
destroyed in a great battle, was not
imposing because it was known to be
weak in personnel and badly equipped
for a conflict. The nineteen American
battleships and their accompanying
cruisers will be in complete condition,
manned by the best sailors and best
gunners in the world, and, like the
Oregon was after she had made her
IA, 000-mile journey around the CONT
nent, fit to go into battle at the drop
of the hat.
The great Spanish Armada fitted out
against England by Philip II. could
have been destroyed with ease by any
one OF the nineteen battleships, and any
one of them could have whipped the
British, French and Spanish fleets COM
bined at Trafalgar. the route will
necessarily be by way of the Strait of
Magellan, as political reasons exist why
the ships should not go by the Isthmus
of Suez route. Diplomatic explanations
are given for this step, but the real
reason is not unknown both at Wash
and Toxic. 1t is the chip on the
japanese shoulder.

line of inquiry that may be necessary
to obtain proper information. or of
browbeating witnesses.
Nor should the inquisitor be ham
pered in any way. Mr., Perkins is right
in saying that the committee itself
should be informed in advance Of the
work to be done, but necessarily much
must be left to the examining lawyer.
When the Senate committee begins
work with Attorney-G General McCarter
as inquisitor, there will be investigation
all along the line, with, it is hoped, re-
suits of permanent benefit to the State.

THE euBERNAroR1AI CANDIDATES,

The outlook is that the Republicans
In New Jersey will come to some com
mon understanding at an early day
in respect to a candidate for Governor,
or a Democratic understanding prior
to the convention in September. In the
selection of a Republican candidate
south and middle Jersey will have a
powerful say. AS East Jersey Repub-
licans have been very much distracted
in their counsels, the united sentiment
OF the party elsewhere in the State
may dictate the nomination. aided by
q powerful party sentiment in this
section. The candidate, however, will
naturally be taken from Essex, which
IS to be the principal battle-ground,
and If he has not been actively iden-
titled with the party differences that
made havoc in the party in the three
principal counties last year. he will
have no fractional opposition.
The Democratic candidacy is as
nebulous as ever. Farmer Orator Mar
tine has had some Endorsements. and
would make a good candidate, but
there Is as yet no indication of a
ground swell for his nomination. In
quisitor Backes may yet match the
success of Inquisitor Hughes and at
least secure a party nomination. But
the candidate will probably not APP
pear until the eve of the convention.

Cock and Bull story.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Oblige an old reader by stating how the
phrase cock and bull story came to mean
an exaggerated or absurd account of an
unimportant affair. T.. B. R.
1.-THE expression is probably derived from
the custom In the old fables of endowtng
cocks, bulls and other animals with the
power of speech. According to another
version, the papa1 bulls were SO named on
account of the bulla or seal attached to
them. This seal bore the impression of
St. Peter accompanied by the cock.-Ed.J
