1904 Pennsylvania gave more than a
half million plurality for Roosevelt.
The next highesttplurality was that of
Illinois, 305. 900. Pennsylvania plu-
for Roosevelt was about double
that which was given to Mckinley in
1900. A State that voted so enormously
for Roosevelt in 1904 is not going to
pick up and support an anti-Roosevelt
candidate in 1908.

He has hotel interests at Atlantic City,

ploys a stenographer at the expense of

the New Jersey seaside resorts.
The n in which Labor Commits

commissioner-secretary tributary to his
Atlantic City hotel interests is mar
velous to see. In the exhibit of the
Jersey resorts Atlantic City and its no
tells occupy pretty much the. whole
space. There are large pictorial views
of Atlantic City, with souvenir books,
booklets, ETC., descriptive of the at
fractions Of the city. and also a list of
the hotels. In the recent investigation
by the Assembly committee the dual

close attention to his hotel interests in

A Philadelphia woman visiting London has been telling the
newspapers over there that New York compares unfavorably with
the British metropolis. She lays special stress on the dociity of
the servants III. the hotels and stores, and says:
I'm New York it is very different. If a girl shows one
gown she considers that quite sufficient. On no account would
she show two. You see, every man in an American shop thinks
he ought to be President, and every girl believes she could be
the Presidents wife.

To the Editor OF the Evening star;
Is there a safe method of removing
tattoo marks from the arm.
SUFFERER.
rive do not know, but we have a clip
ping at hand of which purports to be a
safe and practicable remedy. This con-
sists in the pricking in of powdered tannin,
and at the same time applying a nitrate
of silver crayon after picking the tannin
well in the part to be removed. A dark
scab will form, which must not be in
1ured. In about three weeks, 1t is said,
the scab will fall off. leaving a red mark,
which will gradually disappear without a
scar. If the tottooing is large 1t is well
to do It in patches.-Ed.l

There is a sharp division OF opinion as
to the wisdom of sending sven so small
a part of our navy to Pacific waters.
There are some who believe the action al
together too mild, in face of existing con-
ditions; there are others who believe 1t RASH
to provoke Japan by an act that might be
construed into warlike intention, or even
into suspicion of Japan's good faith. 1t
would seem fair to accept the action as
the wisest medium course between utter
Disregard of the possibilities of danger in
the Far East and vigorous preparation
against war with Japan. 1t is such action
as is entirely within the rights of peaceful
purpose, and IL Japan cares to construe it
as something else, then her purpose is moi
SO peaceful as she would nave us believe.

King Edward is the first British sovereign, or member of
the Royal family, to receive a genuine popular welcome in
Ireland. The people there have come to know him as a
friend whose influence is always thrown on their side in any
controversy, and they have reason to believe that if he lives
to be many years older he will be instrumental in helping to
bring about Home Rule.

There is certainly a difference. Over there the servants in
hotels and shops are expected to have the obsequousness of
|beggats, TO fawn and cringe and fatter. They are born to
that lot and accept their fate with all proper humility, never
daring to think themselves as good as their "betters." That
is why our purseproud rich are 10 fond of Europe. Here
their money may purchase certain privileges; there it is the
taHsman that lifts them above their fellows. With 1t they
may buy all kinds of "honors.' They may hire impecunious
members of the nobility to take them around and obtain intro
auctions to Barons, Earls, Marquises-even Dukes.
1t is sad that we have in this country no titled orders
which We could sell to milionaires as they are sold In Great
Britain and other parts of Europe. Then we might be able to
keep at home our William Waldorf Astors, our Bradley Martins
Van Aliens and all the rest of the patrician brigade who find
our democratic ways SO offensive.

1t used to be the custom for men to air their grievances
and volunteer suggestions and criticisms through the medium of
letters to the newspapers. In most parts of this country that
is still the popular method. AS usual, however, New Jersey is
ahead in evolving a new plan. Hereabouts the man who has
big ideas for the regeneration of things in general, whose gorge
rises at the spectacle of graft triumphant, or who dsikes some
body or something connected with our local governnent--this
man waits for an opportunity to get on the Grand Jury and
then he lets loose in a presentment, knowing that the newspapers
will give it prominence. So long as his associates on the
Grand Jury will stand for it he has nothing to fear, because
presennens are privileged documents and need not be backed
by proof.

Such documents make interesting reading. The more pun
gent personalities they contain the greater is the attention be-
slowed on them by the community. OF course, the people on
whom they reflect may not like them, but what of that For
the pleasure of their neighbors they ought to be willing to sf-
fer in silence. They might as well accept the casigation in a
philosophical or jocular spirit because there is no way to talk
back Or compel reparaton. With indictments it would be diff
ferent. The persons put under the ban would have an oppor-
tunity for defense-an opportunity to confront their accusers and
meet the evidence.
