by thieves who intended to remove 1t at

To the Editor OF tho Evening Star.
Dear Sir--It is time some Of the
people who break out so violently
around the first of July for a sane
Fourth to start a crusade against
candles on Christmas trees. Every
year the number of fatalities
caused by unguarded Christmas
tree candles Increases. In a few
years Christmas week will equal
glorious Fourth.
The only thing that is ever done
to prevent accidents is q set Of
"don'ts' sent out by the fire depart-
ment and Bureau of Combustibles
that no one ever reads or needs.
Nc steps that would really nlinim-
ize the danger are eve taken. The
same kind of candles and the same
frail, poorly constructed CANDLE
holders are sold year after year. :
1t is up to the authorities to
frame a few laws and ordinances
to regulate the kinds of candles
and holders to be used at Christ
mas time. The trees, after stand
ing q few days, are as dry as tins
der, and an overturned candle will
cause a fire that cannot be
tinguished until it has burned it,
self out.
The use of electric lights not only
lessons the danger but vastly i'm
proves the appearance of the tree
Some folks, however, refuse to
spend a dollar or SO for a small
electric light outfit, preferring to
run the risk and save a few cents.
A law should be passed requiring
the use of electricity or some otheit
really safe light on all Christmas
trees. 1t will save both life sand

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-In his advocacy of the

Rose apparently does not consider
the people most concerned, the actor
or performer, and other employees
of the theatre, ticket seller and
ticket takers, ushers. doormen,
stagehands, ETC.. Surely the clergy
mar would not want this small
army of Woodworking men and
women butchered to make a New
ark Sunday holiday. 1t is not for
me, with one show on the road, a

myself-to pretend I see harm in the
presentation of a play, sketch or

who witness the musing result from

seem to realize that an actor works
for a living, even as his fellow

politically. The writer points out the fact that the Legislature
which is to convene soon after the first of the year is strongly
regular in both branches. The regular organization will be in
complete control OF legislation. 1t is unfriendly to the Governor
viewing him rs one outside the party fold and recreant to the party
obligations. Repealed by the regulars how does the Governor
stand with the New Idea, or Progressive, leaders? Clearly not on
the most cordial terms. And then this element will be almost
inconsequental at Trenton during the session. Martin, Colgate,
Blauyelt and Others who made the welkin ring last winter will not
be in the Legislature. They fell by the wayside. In brief. the
Governor has no visible support. Without glaring inconsistency
the Governor cannot in his second annual message abandon the
principles he so strongly enundated in the first. He cannot fail
to renew and emphasize important recommendations that have
lost none of their logic by the lapse of a year. He must stand to
his guns, even though they be spiked, or be charged with insin-
cerHy. Our correspondent, taking in view the situation as thus
delineated, asks the question rs he fhe Governor) in his forlorn
position hoping for a Democratic eoalition?' There will be vigor
on the minority side in the Assembly next year, but t is the num-
bers that count. The query, however, starts conjecture. Suppose,
what is indeed likely, that the Democratic minority shall take up
and champion measures Endorsed and recommended by the Gov
ernor in his message in 1908 and in his forthcoming message. Can
the Governor consistently stand aloof? Can he decline to join
with the minority if the majority is opposed? Would that not be
coalition? And would it not be entirely consistent, although not
within the regular order of things in legislative politics?

SEWER CONSTRUCTION
~ THE NEW YEAR

a longwaidng and long patient and Iongenduring public. The
Passaic valley should be illuminated from end to end with bon
fires and every one of the Passaic valley sewerage commissioners
should be serenaded. The beginning of the new year will mark a
period of fourteen years since the Legislature appointed the first
commission TO examine the Passaic and make plans for it's pur f
cation, and not a single sod has yet been turned. We know the
causes for earlier delays-the furtive opposition of the East Jersey
Water Company. which prevailed with Governors Griggs and Voor
hees, but not with Governors Murphy and Stokes; the inspired
opposition of Paterson. emanatng from the same source. and. later,
the selfish concet of the group of men who run the New York
Merchants Association, which raised Federal obstacles. not" yet
overcome. But there has, withal, been a lack of that energy and
vim in promoting the sewer project that it's success demanded and
which probably would have overcome all obstacles long ere this.
But if the new year is to bring an early fulfllment of the wishes
of the people of the Passaic valley, we can forgive delays, and even
neglects. dismiss resentments, and rejoice with exceeding gladness
in a beautiful river about to be redeemed from its foulness.

thoughts" and a capital recipe it is. toe. Now, if everybody could
command all three at will there would be no problem to solve.
But everybody can't, and comparatively few can. Speaking only
of the material things, the food and air, we are all the victims of
circumstances. The food, however carefully selected and prepared
in the best kitchens, may contain poisonous germs. Except in
places where nature reigns we are never sure about the quality of
air we breathe. In the crowded cities disease germs are every.
where. The dust of the street penetrates into palace and howell.
In our daily occupations we breathe vitiated air, as we do in our
travelling. WI Ting Fang's advice was easier to give than to fol.
low. If we could command the purity of daily food and air there
would be no need for a crusade against the white plague.
