want. Drastic Action.

To the Editor of the Star:
Is there never to be relief from
that one blot on Newark's fair name
the Passaic river? Why do not
the people arise in their might and
demand-yea, compel-their law
makers to some drastic action that
will relieve a patient and suffering
population?
There must be some means of
stopping these offensive odors which
arise from the waters of the Pas
sale. If no other way can be found,
why not compel the mills which
empty deadly dyes in the stream to
find some other means Of d~isposing
of it? L.. g.

INOPpORTUNE.

Nothing could have shown more
conclusively how inconvenient and
confusing is a daytime fire in the
heart of the city than yesterdays
lively blaze at Market and WASH
ington streets. If we must have
fires, let them be farther away
from the congested district. In one
caravansary alone no less than
eighteen half-emptied schooners
abandoned by panic-stricken patrons
of the place were counted. Consid-
ering, also, that this is the holiday
season and the streets r very
crowded, the fire seems altogether
inexcusable.

ANTICIPATION.

News Of that first consignment of
Christmas trees for Newark inspires
the speculation as to how many
Santa Clauses will have their cotton
boards burned off this year. A
Christmas tree and a realistic Sanity
are crowning glories, so far as the
children are concerned, but imagine
the ecstasy of those fortunate little
ones VINO get to see the merry dane
ing flames from a candle on the tree
communicated to the imitation face
foliage of a good st. Nick. A mo-
ment of intense and Joyous excite
ment, and, 10, the snowy bush is
cleared away and there Is revealed
the slightly charred, but easilyrecog-
nizable features of a father, an
uncle or a brother.

Defend. Public Service.

To the Editor Of the Star:
l have read with considerable in
terest a few items in your paper rel
alive to the Public Service Corpo-
ration, and 1 quite agree with the
two writer's who expressed the view
hat the public should deal s%quarely.
While the Public Service Company
is SHY in many matters, in the
judgment so rapidly, and at times
rashly, formed in the theoretical
minds of an observing public, yet
how often does the critical public
compare it's views or theories with
those which practise and experience
demand?
During the past year, OF perhaps
longer, the Public Service has great
ly improved it's road, track and
equipment. I doubt if the street car
service in Newark is equaled by
any other city in the United States.
The cars are clean, the roadbed well
ballasted and the trainmen much
above, the average of similar en-
ployees elsewhere.
l have heard expressed by many
New Workers. and Brooklynites. who
have lately made their residence
here. that our trolley cars are much
larger and more comfortable than
over in their cities.
Newark and her suburban towns
can only blame themselves for de-
ficiencies in trolley transportation
facilities. The sooner Newark and
her many sisters give the trolley
company more outlets the quicker
win we enjoy the facilities which

military establishment. A country like Nicaragua has natural de-
lenses of mountain and river against an invader, and that is all an
American force would have to overcome. The sending of warships
and marines to Nicaragua is merely precautionary against a repe-
tihon of outrages against American citizens and as a means of
administering prompt punishment if they should be perpetrated
The action by the government is important, however, as marking
a change of policy in Central and South America. The record of
our relations with the South American states is one of constant
forbearance, amounting almost to timidity, under all kinds of
provocations. AS a result, South American rulers like Zelaya came
to believe that they could with impunity treat American citizens
and their property as they pleased.

stance nothing mor than an an
nouncement to the Commons that
approval of the budget will be with
held until the voters have passedupon.
1t. Is there anything revolutionaryin
this course? Is 1t not a principle for
which many people are contending
in this country, namely, a referen-
DUN?
If the ministry be sustained and
be returned to power at the general
election, the Lords will acquiesce in
the budget. If the ministry be de-
feated the action of the Lords will
have been sustained and a less

QUEST INTO THE

records are faulty cannot well be denied. Had they been properly
kept there would have been little mystery as to the identity of the
body found in the loft of the old asylum. Proper records would also

thorhies to at once remedy these defects, and to punish official
careessness if it be found to exist.

MISERY IN STOMACH.
And Indigestion vanishes in Five
Minutes and You Feel Fine.

Why not start now-today, and for.
ever rid yourself of Stomach trouble and
Indigestion A dieted stomach gets the
blues and grumbles. Give it good eat,
then take Pape's. Diapepsin to start the
digestive juices working. There will be
no dyspepsia or belching of Gas or eruc-
tations of undigested food; no feeling
like a lump of lead in the stomach or
heartburn, sick headache and Dizziness,
and your food will not ferment and poi
son your breath with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin costs only so cents
for large case at any drugstore here,
and will relieve the most obstinate case
of Indigestion and Upset Stomach in five
minutes.
There is nothing else better to take
Gas from Stomach and cleanse the stom-
ach and intestines, and besides, one
triangule will digest and prepare for
assimilation into the blood all your food
the same as sound, healthy stomach
would do it.
When Diapepsin works your stomach
rests-gets itself in order, cleans up
and then you feel like eating when you
come to the table, and what you eat will
do you good.
Absolute relief from all Stomach
Misery is waiting for you as soon as you
decide to begin ticking Diapepsin. Tell
your druggist that you want Pape's Dia-
pepsin, because you want to be thorough
ly cured of indigestion.

TAFT HAS MADE
WESTERN ENEMIES

Der dealers declare they will not
market their lumber at prices below
what have recently prevailed. In
other words, the reduction of IS cents
will not benefit the consumer. but
will be absorbed by the dealer. the
profit will be transferred from the
manufacturer or the owner of stump
age, TO the retailer. And the lumber
man, in return, received no cores
ponding benefit.
As western men view the compro-
mise on the tariff, their states get
the worst of it, and no compensation
for the sacrifices they have been OBJ
liged to make. This, they regard as
wrong. Moreover, they do not hest
tate to declare that the President
played poor politics in his handling
of the tariff question. While he did
force some material reductions, they
were not reductions that will benefit
the general public. They are reduc-
tons that, in the main, benefit New
England, a section that will remain
Republican as long as the Repubil-
can party endures, but they declare
that he made New England doubly
secure at the expense of states that
may be swung into the Democratic
column
Just why the President should have
singled out hides and lumber, and
overlooked cotton goods, wooden
goods, sugar and other necessities of
life, these western senators are I'M
able to understand, unless it be that
the President felt he could carry his
contention on lumber and hides, and
thus meet his campaign pledges.
while he might have difficulty in fore
ing reductions on the manufactured
goods of New England, other than
those of leather The prediction is
made by some of the disgruntled
ones that the Republicans viii lose a
number OF western states as a result
of the final frame-up Of the >PaT1e-
Aldrich tariff bill.
