FoRr1rYrNe THE PHILIPPINES.

1t should scarcely be necessary for
Secretary Taft to send a warning from
Manila that the present defenses of the
Philippines are totally inadequate and
the plans out of date. The fact must
have been known in official circles as
soon as Japan emerged from the wal
with Russia a first-class power, The
original plans took into account naval
powers on the other side of the world,
or half way there.
But the plans of the Secretary OF
War to bring the defenses up to the
new requirements deserve careful con-
s~ideration, and there should be no Con-
%gressional niggardliness in providing
the needed appropriations for the abso-
lutely necessary work. This can and
should be done as a measure of COM
mon sense, without reference to the
jingo-hysteria of the yellow press Of
America or Japan.

A1RsH1ps FOR ARMY AND NAVY.

While the recent so-called balloon
impetus to the interest in a~eronautics,
it is difficult to conceive that they
should have been responsible for the
simultaneous urgence of a general of
the army, and he the head of the Sig
nal Corps, and a rear admiral of the
navy that both arms of the service be
equipped with aerial fleets, as General
Allen and Rear Admiral Chester advo-
Gated at the session of the Internal
tional Aeronautical Congress in New
York Monday.

that was not known half a century
ago. The balloons were the sport of
the winds, and no ~"aeronaut' knew
where he would land. But each of
these officers declared hat the "air-
Ship which is still in embryo, must
be provided for both army and navy
if we are to keep pace with the prog
ress of other nations in the matter of
offensive and defensive engines Of war.
General Davis went so far as to say
that Secretary Taft had promised to
srend 5000, 900 in establishing such a
service for the army.
In view of the recent progress in
aeronautics, that is, in the diriglbility
of the air vessel, it is certain that ex-
perimental work should be undertaken
officially in this country for war pur-
poses. Other nations are engaged in
and making progress in this line, and
we cannot lag behind. But to demand
the equipment of army and navy with
machines that are still in the expert
mental stage would be premature. A
substantial appropriation for the devel-
opment of the dirigible balloon or the
heavier-than-air vessel would be the
part of wisdom, but the furnishing
forth of fleets of 'mpotent aerial wan
derers would be folly.

A rnANourL1zEp SITUATION.

The echoes of the financial crash in
New York will be heard for some time,
but all apprehensions in regard to the
situation may now be dismissed The
suspended trust companies will be
enabled to resume at an early day and
there can be no more suspensions. The
situation is too we'll in hand for that.
Millions of gold are coming from
Europe and will be SO much new life
blood introduced into the financial sys-
tenn. A vast amount of government
deposits are used by the banks and
New York will soon have the West to
draw upon for an immense capital, the
profits of the present years crops.
With confidence completely restored,
the effects of the recent panic must
quickly disappear. 1t is unnecessary
to a that the only cause for The
tremendous financial upheaval was
simply lack of confidence and absolute
cowardice. 1t was a panic, spure and
simple, without rhyme or reason. There
had been Irregularities of management,
but every institution in New York
was solvent and, given proper time,
could pay all its liabilities.
Wall Street will probably not get
the benefit of this restored confidence
for weeks, and even months. All kinds
of securities are down to bedrock
prices and there will be moderate re-
coveries, by reason principally of peo-
Pile buying the low-priced stocks for
investment. But speculation has re-
ceived a severe black eye and there
will be little of that in Wall Street, at
least for outside operators, until the
boom In stocks is started some time
next year..

STATE GUARD AND COAST DEFENSE.

1t doesn't need a regular army ex-
the National Guard reserves to make
them of any practical value in the
coast defenses is instruction, and this
cannot be had in a weeks outing in
and around the harbor Notifications.
Some valuable instruction can be
given in the armories, and it would
admirably serve in place of some of the
present routine of duty for the guards
men.
No doubt the War Department
would place the necessary instruments
in the armories and furnish skilled in
structors to train the guardsmen'
With this armory training the guards
nan would obtain the technical knowl-
edge to make him understand the
mechanism of the big guns and of
their mounts. He would not go into
the Notifications as green as a day
laborer.
The crustaceans in the State Mill
tary Board have had only one idea of
the State Guard, namely. that it was a
military police force. The entire Or
g~anization is upon that plan. The
board has completely ignored the most
necessary arm of the military service
in this countryside artillery-and
neglected to provide my means OF
training an artillery reserve to respond
to a call by the government. But al
least there can be furnished technical
instruction in the armories,

A MUNICIPAL LIGHTING BUSINESS.

Even If the Newark community was
prepared in judgment to adopt munici-
pal ownership and operation of al cleo
trio light plant, the time is certainly not
propitious for such an enterprise.
In the first place, the business capital
must be borrowed at a high interest
rate on bonds to run for many years
and to rest as an obligation upon the
city after the interest rate on municipal
loans shall have returned to the low
figure that formerly prevailed.
Material for a plant is at the highest
figures of cost. The city would have to
pay at least 30 per cent. more for a
plant than the cost would have been
three years ago. This difference in cost
might forbid profit enough, even with
good management, to pay the interest
on the investment.
And what kind of management can
we expect for a municipal electric light
plant2 The city's police and fire de-
partments, its water supply and its
public market would be administered

LEGISLATIVE LOBBY REFORM.

There We're promises before the Leg
islature met this year that the lobby
evil at Trenton would be severely dealt
with. Senator Colby gathered a lot
Of data respecting anti-lobby legisla-
ton and regulations in other States,
and as a special Legislative commis-
sion TO investigate the lobby and re-
port a plan of reform, much was ex-
pected from him. But there was no
attempt to reform the evil during the
legislative session.
How the lobby can be effectually
dealt with Is a question that will puz-
2le the reformer. Governor Folk. of
Missouri, adopted some drastic methods
that. however. would not be practicable
in New Jersey. A Governor in this
State would not be permitted to use his
authority to the extent of interfering
with persons claiming to have business
with members of the Legislature.
Such an assumption of authority would
be resented at once. The remedy for
the lobby evil, if one can be found, lies
with the Legislature itself.
The great difficulty presented is that
the principal lobbyists are lawyers.
These men can claim that they are in
pursuit of their profession when they
visit Trenton and cannot BIZ debarred
from the State House or any of its
departments or be excluded from the
approaches to the halls of legislation.
Lawyers of higher degree have not dis
dained to Go lobby work at Trenton,
and they appear there when large COR
porate interests have an important
stake in legislation.
These are the most formidable MEM
bers of the Trenton lobby, and reform
would not touch them. Only the go
betweens, the hired m~ercenaries, the
ianizaries and tools that are employed
to- do the running md whispering and
the soliciting, can be reached and dis
ciplined. and yet that would be some
measure of reform. 1t would give a
decenter aspect tc legislation and make
more difficult the bribery and corrup-
ton that no Legislature is entirely free
from.

reforming the Menu.

The King of Spain has struck at a
fundamental evil. From time immemorial
an idiotic custom has prescribed that
bills of fare shall be printed in French,
regardless OF whether the guests under
stand French or not. This has been the
case in Spain, as well as in England, Ger
many, Italy, America and other countries.
But the buoyant and irreverent Alfonso
has bravely broken away from the ira
dition, and has the meal cards of his royal
table printed in pure Spanish.
It's about time for American hotels and
restaurants to follow suit. Why in the
name of all that's good to eat should a
plain, honest American, who doesn't know
any French and doesn't want to know any,
find himself up against a rampant of fancy
foreign phrases when he wants a square
meal? Why should he puzzle over ''Rllet
de boeuf'' and mutton chops ''aux petits
| pois," nondescript 'ragouts,' stuff served
aux champlgnons," zen bordure,' zen
casserole and Eau maitre d. hotel" when
all he asks is something to eat, well
cooked and properly served, and some
slight hint Of what he's getting? A res
taurant is supposed to minister to the con-
v%enience of its guests, but it is hard to
see just how convenience, comfort and
piety are promoted by serving roast beef

Regarding a Cartoon in "Puck.,

Regarding a Cartoon In Puck
To the Editor of the Evening stars.
/ will be very thankful to you If you
will grant me a little space in the col
umns Of the STAR for a short reply to
Frank II. Nancirell, who drew an igno-
BILE picture for PUCK recently.
In the PUCK of the 23d inst. appears
the picture of the Statue of liberty, hor-
ribly covered with s~tilettos and long
knives. bearing on the left hand some
thing like a book, upon which are writ
ten the following words: BLACK Hand
Letter."
Beneath the statue 1t says: Liberty
as the Goddess Appears to the Incoming
Sicilian."
I knew, long before this. that the ST.
Gillian people, though honored by the best
class of Americans, had, by many, been
despised and made an objet OF the vilest
and lowest insults. but I could have never
believed that the human heart could be
as unfeeling as to outrage, with such a
horrid picture, a people OF whom history
has precious pages. The real Sicilian type
is a good and hearty fellow, incapable OF
doing evil to anyone, true in his friend
ship, generous with his fellow men, honest
to everybody, and willing to earn his
bread in the sweat OF his brow.
I know that a few degenerate Sicilians
have committed murders and other dread
full deeds, but that a reason for PUCK"
to insult all the good Sicilian people?
Would it be right for any thinking per-
son to blame a whole family of ten be-
cause only one or two of the ten are badY
And even those degenerate Sicilians are
not worse than all the American trusts.

with impure milk, n yet their represent
atives are free to walk on the best streets
OF New York, and are protected, if they
want to be.
The one who drew the libelous picture In
question has never studied the character,
the generosity, Of the real Siciiian heart,
else he would nave never made such a
ignorant fellow who drew it TO get infor-
formation about the real Sieilian eharac-
ter from those Americans who have had
a chance to come in contact with the 81
Gillian people, and we are sure that AFTER
he has learned the truth, he will tear his
picture in pieces and confess that he was
mistaken,
No, Mr.. Nancirell, the Statue Of Liberty
does not appear to the incoming Slcilian
as you think, but rather as a symbol OF
progress, civilization. justice.
