Huoksters and Farmers.

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL
Permit me to have some space
in your valued paper. I have been reading
considerable OF late Of efforts on the part
OF the police to rid the street markets Of
dealers who have no right to be there in
cluding hucksters and men w'ho stand in
front OF houses and in alleys along King
and Madison streets. While I make no
kick concerning Chief of Police Blacks
activity in this direction, for I understand
he is following out the letter of the law,
do want to voice my objection to the in
justice Of it all. / am a married man and
have learned from my wife that II Il were
not for the huclSsters in the markets. the
farmers would demand such exhorbitant
prices for their produce that poor people
and even families in better circumstances
would find it rather expensive to purchase
from the farmer. took enough interest
in what she said to make a personal in.
vestigation and learned that her state.
ments were true. Many farmers come tc
this market and buy meats of our whole.
sale butchers TO dispose Of at their stands
a violation OF the law which plainly sets
forth that farmers are permitted to sci
in the market only what they produce. ]
also found that the farmers conduct q
sort of a trust, inasmuch as they fix the
prices before the markets open for busi
ness. / went TO market the other day and
as an instance OF the difference in price.
purchased cantaloupes from a huckstei
in the market at two for fve cents. TIL,
farmers asked me from four TO eight cent,
for like cantaloupes. bought corn from
the huckster for ten cents a dozen while
the farmers were getting twelve cents foi
I it.
II seems to me that the officials OF this
I city take a great deal Of interest in th'
farmer and forget the people who live II

chicken recently and went 10 a farmer foi
it, He asked me sixty-hve cents for th'
same weight chicken that later bough

ket house for fifty cents. 1t was lust al
fresh, too. as the farmers chicken.
have also found that farmers buy stor
age eggs and sell them at fancy price
from their wagons in the street markets

ruff outfit This objection to nominating good
man is not confined to New York 1t is heard in
other States
1t is always assumed that the law-abdng ele-
ment, that element which it is supposed stands
for good government, is important at the polls,
that it confines its objections to talk and does not
act We doubt very much whether this is true
in New York There is a large independent vote
always a good thing to have around-in New
York that will resent the treatment of Hughes if
he is tossed overheard. This element will un-
doubtedly make itself felt at the polls
The reaso. why we have had much bad
politics is because the people do not take sa6i-
cient interest in elections. They permit few 20
make their nominations for them and then they
do as they are bid.

GREAT FIGURES FOR NAv1Es.

IT He astounding sum Of $I,43I I,o7o98o has
\ been expended in the last three years on
the navies of seven OF the leading countries of
the world, according to an estimate by the Brit
ish admiralty made public to-day. The seven
countries are: America, England, France Rus
sia Germany, Italy and Japan. England leads
with an expenditure Of S476o55,43s, and America
is second with $34I,3Io,74o.
Apart from their hugeness, the chief interest
in the figures presented by the admiralty is that
they show America is continuing her policy of
building a navy, while England is keeping one
equal to that of any other two nations The
British do not count America an opposing power
and on this basis her two power naval strength
is maintained.
How alarming must these figures as to Eng
land be to Hobson

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Now that the time is drawing near TO-
the Democratic State nominations, the
writer would like to see those Democrats
beyond the pales of the organizations
making suggestions as to the proper can
didates. There is no way that I can be
heard excepting through the public press
and on this ground. the writer asks for
the publication Of this suggestion. 2 he
man I propose to suggest for the Cicket
is big enough, broad enough mentally and
of sufficient experience for Governor Of
the State. But I'm view of the wise policy
OF the party to select men from the differ
ent counties in rotation and considering
that it is generally understood that the
nomination for Governor should go to Sus-
sex county, let us Of New Castle county
demand the nomination for the Attorney.
generalship for William T. Lyman. The
writer is one Of the new style Democrats
who would have voted for Daniel Hastings
unless the Democratic party had nomi-
mated a better man and II would have been
a hard matter to find one unless It be
the nominee of this letter. In Mr.. Lyman
the Democratic party has a support tc
their ticket that would be a tower Of
strength, not only in the city but through
out the county. When men are available
let's occasionally use them instead OF
keeping the organization continually in Of

Evidently it is the intention of some persons to
inject the religious question into the national
campaign The religious belief of Mr.. Taft has
been assailed and in some instances voters have
been urged to cast their ballots against him be-
cause he is a Unitarian. Then comes a story
that Mr. Bryan is "unfriendly to the Catholics"
and we presume that Mr. Taft will soon be pro-
nounced as unfrendly to some other religious
body All this is a recalling of methods that we
supposed had long since passed away. Such tac-
tics are a two-edged sword They cut both ways.
Mr. Taft is entitled to his own religious opinions
and Mr.. Bryan is entitled to his. Neither man
has in any manner attempted to force his own
religious opinions into politics and to say that
either man is particularly friendly unfriendly
to one religious body or another, is the acme of
absurdity A man who made the base of his
political strength his religious belief would not
last long in the politics of these days

THREE-cENT FARES IN CLEVELAND.

VA HEN the three-cent fare trolley scheme
of Mayor Tom Johnson, of Cleveland,
Ohio, was put into operation there were predic-
tons Of dire disaster for the city. OF course the
predictions came from those interested in street
railways who saw that if the Johnson plan
proved successful, an agitation for lower fares
might be started in other cities and even the
municipal ownership of trolley lines might be
given a boost All the capitalist papers, there
fore, have been crying out against the three
cent fare plan and every objection TO it has
been put forward, often in distorted view.
1t has been difficult to ascertain just what the
real situation in Cleveland is, because of these
misrepresentation. Now it has been ascertain
ed that during the month of July the trolley
lines of Cleveland were operated prohtably on a
three-cent basis, and those who have favored
lower fare and municipal ownership say that
the plan will prove successful.
The truth seems TO be that the matter is still
in a stage of experiment and it will take many
months to determine whether Johnson's plan is
adapted to conditions in American cities

NEW YORK SITUATION.

XAT HETHER the New York Republicans will
w renominate Governor Charles Z. Hughes
seems to be "up in the air" There have been
many conferences between the leaders OF the
party and the President at Oyster Bay. 1t has
been stated that the President firmly believes
that the governor should be renominated, not be-
cause Mr. Roosevelt has particular liking for
Governor Hughes, but simply because he be-
lieves that Hughes would be the strongest candi-
date that could be named.
Hughes has run counter to the President IN
several matters. The governor is a man Of his
own opinions, and is not restrained from ex-
pressing them.
Several days ago it was reported that the lead
ers Of New York had decided to swallow the re-
nomination Of Hughes Then they got up some
primaries to show that Hughes was not the
choice of the mass OF voters in certain boss
owned regions of the State. Probably fairer
way to test Hughes strength would be to have
State vote taken on the question of his re-
nomination Now the leaders are moving
heaven and earth to prevent the renomi-
nation of Hughes, and it is said that no state
ment on the subject will be issued from Oyster
Bay.
The objection TO Governor Hughes seems to be
summed up, that he is too good a man to be gov
eTnor. He has won the hatred of the criminal
and crooked classes of New York, and he has re-
fused to bend the knee 10 the Barnes and Wood

The New York racing men, in their attitude
towards Governor Hughes are playing peanut
politics of the smallest variety. The governor
delivered an address at one OF the county fairs
Thursday, and while waiting for a train remain

start their races until the governor left. Such
tactics will only make friends for the governor.

HUGHES WARMLY
GREETED AT BIG
EAST SIDE RALLY

Gov. Hughes in his opening speech OF
series he is scheduled to deliver this
afternoon and evening, made an appeal
for the support of the labor union
voters, and explained his veto OF the
Columbus Day bill. He said that II
stood upon his record, and that If the
people did not like what he had done
as Governor. he was content to have
upon Election Day.
The meeting was held in front of
the clubhouse of the Republican organi-
cation of the Third Assembly District.
Of which James Z. March is leader.
The quality OF March's Repuhlicanism
has been questioned in this campaign
by County Chairman Parsons and the
versatile Jimmy fairly set Little
Italy on fire in his efforts to make a
big showing for Gov. Hughes and Mr..
Taft. The Republican candidate for
President followed Gov. Hughes at the
meeting. and March proudly announced
that It Is the first time a Republican
candidate for the Presidency had ever
appeared in person on the east side to
talk to the people.
Crowd Of 10000.
Gov. Hughes spoke from second
floor balcony. A crowd of 10000 was
packed In the street. stretching for
blocks north and south, and backing up
into Spring street almost to Broadway.
The crowd was composed mostly OF
Italian residents of the neighborhood
with a sprnkling Of wOrkingmen from

Inc Governor was cheered delirously
when he stepped into the view OF the
crowd He was introduced by Leader
March, and spoke as follows:
