HOUSES MOULDED IN ooNcRErE.

Edison's dream Of an age of concrete,
when a house will be completely built
by simply pouring concrete into mould
and letting it harden into stone, will
doubtless be realized to a certain extent,
but who can contemplate without hor-
ror a general resort to that method of
house, building? The present age is util-
itarian to a degree to destroy much of
the sentiment and poetry that graced
former periods. The works of the poets
are not read, the standard romances
that pleased our grandfathers and
grandmothers are seldom read or are
mutilated to accommodate hasty read
ers. and even beautiful courtesies of life
are lost On the stage Shakespeare has
given place to lurid melodrama, highly
splced French plays and tank shows"
But sentiment still clings to home and
the love of pretty and dainty home sur
roundings abides with us all. The pref
tiest homesteads are those that have
been built and added to and improved
by the occupants. What, is to become
of this sentiment if dwellings are to be
made as we make our sewer pipes, by
pouring a mixture into a mould?

A DANGEROUS INVOCATION.

If there are any men in Hudson
County who are not partisans it would
be exceedingly hard to establish their
identity. Every man who has a vote,
and probably most of those who have
no VOTE are brimming over with politl-
cal partisanship. SO in this red-hot
time, when individual Judgment is over
heated, the Hudson Observer asks the
court to dismiss every member of the
sitting Grand Jury and select a special
panel of unbiased men,"
Out West Federal Judge last week
excoriated a State judge for empanel-
ing a Grand Jury for a special purpose
and granted an injunction against pro-
ceedings by the State court officers
under the authority of the State court.
The act which the Hudson court is
asked to commit would be without prec-
edent in the judicial history of the
State, and would be most dangerous
assumption of judicial power. The sug-
gestion shows what length political par
tisanship can go in the campaign in
Hudson County.

NO POLITICS ON HAL1owE'EN.

The Halloween celebration will make
a break in the political campaign and
afford opportunity for nights rest to
tired spellbinders. Next Thursday
night partisan politics will be set aside
for the nonce and the spirit of jollifca-
tion and revelry will be supreme. King
Carnival will assume the government
of Newark, and that potentate has ban
ished all politics. and, in fact, all con-
troversy. from the realms over which
he wields his sceptre. Cakes and ale
there shall be for everybody. There
must be no dolor and no serious faces.
Serious thoughts and topics are ia
booed, and people who insist upon adj
herring to commonplace logic and
reason are invited to remain in strict
seclusion or quit the town during the
progress of King Carnival The auto
crat will be especially severe on poll
tics, and the man who on Thursday
night shall proclaim his identity as
Republican or Democrat will be in
stantly decapitated.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER %. 1907.
TWO IMPORTANT NEW LAWS.

Governor Stokes is expected today to
sign the bill for popular election of
f United States Senators and a bill for
4 direct primary elections, the bills hav-
f ing been withheld from him by the
Z bitches in the legislative machinery that
have occurred SO often at Trenton this
+ year. These bills are, therefore virtually
laws. and they make very important
changes in election methods in New
4 Jersey after the present year.
The direct primary will abolish the
E delegate middleman in all primary cleo
E tions except for Governor and Congress-
men, so there will be no nominating
conventions in the former cases. 1t
win still be possible to control party
nominations by manipulating the pri-
inaries, but the power to do this will
i be circumscribed and voters will have
themselves to blame If unfit candidates
shall be nominated.
The law for the election of United
States Senators will not go into opera
( tion until 1910. but it's effect will be
+. felt in intervening legislative elections.
Before the Supreme Court invalidated
the district system of voting for Assem-
blymen 1t was prime object with the
political parties to elect Senators dur
ing the three years preceding the cleo
tion of United States Senator in order
to get enough of majority to offset a
possible opposition majority elected to
the Assembly. AS the county system of
electing Assemblymen made them elect
i've In county punches, the Importance
Of the Senate as reserve for votes in
Joint meeting was lessened.
II the constitutional amendment re-
storing district elections shall be adopt
ed next year the Importance of the
Senate in view of the election of United
States Senator'S will be measurably
restored. But tho people will have a
direct vote for Senator's as well as
Legislators beginning next year, and
50 fer as the party choice of candidate
is eoncerne1 that will be made in the
primaries after the method provided in
the new law.

A DULL NEW YORK CAMPAIGN.

The great apathy prevailing in the
election campaign in New York city
can be accounted for in the fact that
the great corporations are not putting
up their usual contributions to the
campaign funds Besides that the
party leaders have to confess to losses
in Wall street. and they are much
poorer in pocket than last year.
An election in New York city with
out liberal supply of money cannot
fail to be dull and spiritless Thou
sands Of voters expect to be paid for
voting, and resent failure to pay by
abstaining from voting. 1t is a severe
commentary tc make on an American
electorate. but 1t is strictly true.

OUR STATE FISHERIES.

The people of the State ought to take
more interest than they do in the ques-
tion of the regulation of New jerseys
salt water fisheries. Fish is an inn
portant article of the peoples diet, and
the best qualities of fish sold in the
markets are taken in New Jersey
waters. There has been great abun-
dance of fish, and the market prices
ought to be exceedingly moderate. 1t
Is short haul from the seashore.
where the fish are netted, to the city
market. But Notwithstanding these ad-
vantages, the New Jersey consumer is
charged extravagant prices.
The reason is that the fisheries are
monopolized by trust with headquar-
ters In New York, and the fish supply
is so regulated and restricted by this
trust that the trust is enabled to arbi-
trarily fix and maintain the market
prices. 1t is fact that when the sup
ply from the ocean is too prolific the
surplus is either put into cold storage,
or sold to the oil factories or for fer
tilizers or is dumped back into the
ocean.
The methods of catching fish have
no regard for the preservation of
the species and of the future sup
ply. Young fish and old are taken
without discrimination; the fish are
prevented from reaching their spawning
places, and as a consequence the sup
ply is diminishing. Several valuable
species. once abundant on the New
Jersey coast. are nearly extinct, and. in
the opinion of men well informed on the
subject. like DIR, Lewis e. FoulSs, of
Ocean County, many other species will
disappear unless the State takes steps
for their preservation.
The average man in the Legislature
knows nothing about salt water fisheries.
The same ignorance about the forests of
the State made the Legislature Indifferent
to forestry laws for many years, and
: kept 1t deaf to appeals for legislation.
: Appeals have been made for several
years for a law to give protection to
the valuable fisheries upon the coast
and they have been unheeded. The
people, who own these fisheries, and
who pay extravagant prices in their
own market for New Jersey fish
handled in New York, should certainly
awaken to the Importance of the fish
aries question and bring pressure to
bear upon an Indifferent Legislature to
enact the necessary legislation.

STUPIDITY IN THE SENATE.

Not all members of the Legislature
are wise in their generation, and there
was precious little political wisdom in
the State Senate this year. No party
majority in the past ever blundered as
egregiously. And the Senate majority
was led by legislative veterans, while
the Democratic majority in the House
was composed of legislative green
horns
1t was manifestly the object of both
house majorities to make record for
the State election, and in the first four
teen weeks of the session the House
appropriated all the political capital
there was in sight. The Senate was
atrophied. The worst Senate biunder,
for which Senator Wakelee was re-
sponsible, was the strangling of the
House joint resolution for investiga-
ting the Fish and Game Commission.
That Senate action provoked the Hahn
committee investigation with it's un-
savory disclosures and gave to the
Democratic party its biggest gun in
the campaign.
If it shall have a fatal effect upon
Republican chances, indignant party
voters will know who among the Sen
ators were culpable. Chief among
them is the artful, intriguing Wakelee.
who put party welfare to the hazard
for the sake of shielding wrong-doers
in State office.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t is deplorable that so important
a question as that of adopting a small
appointlve school board must be mixed
with a general election.
1t is hoped that the disgraceful show
ing of three years ago upon similar
question, when out of a total of about 50,-
600 votes then cast for the general ticket
more than 10000 voters neglected to record
their views, may not be repeated this time.
No matter what the result of the election
may be- II it is again decided by less
than two-flfths of the votes cast for the
general ticket it will scarcely be consid-
cred as fairly conclusive of the will of the
majority. Let us all join in urging the
Importance of voting, either on your side
or on mine of this question. but to vote
anyhow so that the result may show more
nearly a conclusive majority of all votes
cast for the general ticket, and not only a
small fraction thereof as heretofore.
Respectfully.

Water at Meals.

Should horses drink when they eat?
The average keeper and veterinarian
says no; just as the average writer on
hygiene says that human beings should
not. Yet they invariably do, and they
certainly enjoy their food more when
they can wash it down" Now this
is the Norwegian practice with hors-
es, and according to one veterinarian,
'you never see a broken-winded horse
in Norway" He attributes this to
the water furnished with their meals;
and while that may be somewhat ex-
travagant, the custom is worth con-
sidering. Every one who has taken
care of horse has noticed that water
before meals is not relished, while If
it is given in large quantities directly
afterward it tends to wash the grain
too rapidly through the digestive tract.
In Norway, every horse has bucket
of water beside his manger, and. as
he eats, he drinks also. It is inter-
esting to see how the Norwegian hors-
es relish their water with their meals.
Now they sip little from the buck
st, now they eat mouthful, then an
other sip, then another mouthful. just
