The remarkable voice of little Dor
othy Irene Peake is matter of won
der to those fortunate enough to hear
her. The surprising ease with which
it penetrated the Auditorium with
the usually trying acoustics accentu
ated by the vast audience of Cbil

Her sweet childish tones scared high
clear and silvery above the tumult of
the FESTIVE crowd, which was drown
ing out the vocal efforts of the other
speakers. May the Lord use that
voice.

general rights and do they o
o~vershadow the powers of u Con-
stitution when such delegated pow
ers are given over to the control and
regulation of the n~ecessaries of life?
Seyenth-Is 1t not true that in a
free government like ours there will
naturally arise at least two political
parties, and each will possess it's fac
tons, but that no party or faction
should receive the perpetual conf
dence and support of an American
citizen unless such political party
should select such citizens as its
delegated powers who would defend
the moral integrity of the people,
and the moral principles of their in
stitutions; by SO doing would they
not then defend the welfare of the
nation?
Eighth-Can any n political
party barter away the general
rights of the citizens, even in the
smallest degrees to the great finan-
cial powers of franchise, or be sup
ported by that part of the Amer
lean people who could justly claim
that they are loyal and true to the
principles of representative gov
ernment?
Ninth-Will not such factions,
such intrigues and their powers of
anti-Americanism eventually weld
together the links that will con-
stitute the great chain that will
dissolve democratic government?
Tenth-If these conditions are left
,,-1;-t,I.1l .-1 .D ,-nafioal ahanlE
applied to bring them to a halt, and
the people cease t o be more vigilant
in public affairs, will not this pol
icy in this government endanger ma
tional prosperity by casting a bane-
full vicissitude over the honest COM
petition of trade, the very life giving
factor of all our success?
Eleventh-Does not the sugar IN
trigue against the government, and
the little oil syndicate of the same
nature form a small link in the great
chain of or democratic dissolution?
Twelfth-Is it not true that gov
ernments dissolve through the mis-
leading influences of wealth and the
decisions of a~ristocracy and pluto
cracy in the body polite?
Thirteenth lis it not true that
when such conditions exist in a gov
eminent that objections are not
offered because the insidious in
trigue has completely converted the
souls of 'men," and when they
awake from their dreams of conf
dence they find themselves linked
to the great chain of imperial in

! TRENTON BURGLARS

The above heading in a daily
paper seems to indicate that a Ger
tain class &of our population is at
last to get its just due, Society,"
Fashion. the F~raternities, are dig
nifed in the treatment of the days
news by separate departments.
Why not burglars?
There are no more INDUSTRIOUS
people in this country than bur-
glars. A cursory perusal of the
criminal news from day TO q ID
sufficient to establish that fact.
often they are at work long before
those engaged in more conventional
pursuits are up. ana frequently
they pursue their calling far into
the night.
Heretofore the accounts of their
exploits and the court room se9ueis
have been scattered through the
paper. Now one enterprising jour-
nal has set an example which may
tend to group them and save their
friends considerable trouble.
Much criticism has been heaped
upon the American burglar. But
have any of these critics ever
stopped to consider how quiet and
retiring is the home life of the
burglar; how unostentatious he is,
and how consistently he shrinks
from the public gaze. While there
are many things about his occupa-
zion we cannot condone, we feel the
daily paper which has given him O.

its justice, enterprise and original

has passed beyond the powers of
their government?
Fourteenth-Do we not find this
much-indulged power of adventure
promoting fraud and giving new life
to the art of smuggling, enriching
dishonest officials, and baukrupting
honest merchants, and slowly dis
solving commercial and trade rela-.
lions between the citizens? These
matters cannot be denied" There
fore, can any true citizen help to
enforce and determine this policy of
government and assist In the disco
luton of their own public welfare?
And against the security of their
national independence? To preach
democracy and practise Imperialism
is worse than committing a crime in
our government.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-I desire very much TO
submit some questions to the pubic
through your columns, which l am
led to believe not only represent
the commercial and industrial inter-
ests of the community, but are pa
triotic in the intent to advance pup
lie welfare of all alike. This should
he the end of all labor and toll
within the arena of the pubic
press" To further the blessings OF
a commonwealth should be evidence
enough for one to feel that he a
performed his duty well.
First-In order that representative
government should be- safe n
sane, should not all schemes and in
trigues in the political body be ex-
posed through our delegated pow
ers? And that our traditions Oh
democracy should be defended IN
stead of being violated by them?
Second-Are there not men in all
forms of governments who seek TO
destroy the unity and the federation
of the people? And do they not DIS
regard equal justice absolutely IN
the common affairs OF life!
Third-Do citizens who indulge
corruption and extravagant govern
ment, and by SO doing refuse to
lend their aid towards securing the
welfare of all the people, and their
political institutions, possess an
honest intent towards the support
of this Democratic F~ederative Re-
public as a government "Of h
People, for the People and by h
People?"
Fifth-Consequently when the
commemorative are aware of these
facts, is it necessary to introduce
the defensive arguments of the Con-
stitution, Declaration of Indepen-
dence the Articles of Confederation,
or the important facts and statls-
tics relating to the political history
of the country in order to convince
the people that something is ron
in our governmental affairs?
Sixth--Is not the perpetual fran
chise system, and its indulgence by
many citizens in its introduction
in this country the introduction of
hereditary and imperial law? And
are they not dangerous towards our

INTERSTATE WATER
IN THE WATERSHED

pose of supplying Staten Island the Paterson Chronicle speculates
on what New Jersey would do to prevent. The Chronicle evidently
is not aware of the fact that a large part of the Ramapo water
shed is in New York State. Altogether 1881 square miles of Pas
sale watershed are in Orange and Rockland counties, New York,
and more than sixtyfour square miles of the Hackensack water
shed are in Rockland county. There is nothing to prevent New
York from establishing a reservoir on New York soil to impound
water for it's own uses. A few years ago New York engineers
examined the Waikiki watershed, which is 210 square miles in
area to the State line, with a view to a supply for New York city,
and abandoned it in favor of the Catskils. The Waikiki drains
into the Hudson river.

CAPE MAJ HARBOR
AS A NAVAL STATION

harbor of refuge for commerce at the most dangerous point of our
coast during stormy weather, but it may also be a valuable aid
to our navy. The harbor is artificial, being dug, forty feet deep,
out of the morass, with an entrance at Cold Spring inlet, which
the Federal government is deepening and protecting with massive
stone ietties. The harbor could not be used as an important naval
base, because it is too close to the open sea, and would be exposed
to hostile attack by sea and land, but it could be used to great
advantage for coaing and reftting warships, for receiving new
ammunition supplies and for other essential purposes. Cape May
can also rejoice in the prospect of visits by naval squadrons, of
social festivities in the hotels attended by uniformed naval officers
and of picturesque features in the harbor to make the Oldest of
New Jersey seaside resorts resemble Newport in it's social features.

THAT'S so.

1t might easily be possible to
overdue this thing of early Christ
mas shopping. For instance, n
who had made all purchases a
month ago might decide to lay in
right away a stock of presents for
the Christmas of 1910. In a tech
meal sense his shopping would be
very early indeed; premature, in
fact. But it would not tend to re-
lieve the congestion in the stores.
In fact, the contrary would be true.

Danger In s~isn-Boards.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-Every time there is a
big wind-storm like that OF last night
the lives of hundreds, even thou
sands, of citizens are imperiled by
carelessly hung sign-boards on the
walls and tops of business build
ings. Numbers of them crashed to
the sidewalk last night during the
big blow. but luckily no M was
injured.
Wouldn't it be a wise idea to
establish some sort of an inspec-
ton at stated periods of signs and
their f~astenings? j. L. DUKE.

graduates and others were appointed from civil life or came up
from the ranks. In nearly all the cases of dishonesty the culprits
belonged to the two latter classes. The West Point code of honor
is jealously maintained in the army. 1t is bred in the bone of the
officers. Captain Franklin, convicted and sentenced in New York
Yesterday for embezzing government money by false vouchers
while he was commissary at West Point, is not a West Point
graduate. A good officer otherwise, he lacked the moral discipline
of West Point and the West Point spirit.

STATE FORESTS
SWEPT BY FIRE

1ulpaby negligent in adopting the means for forest protection.
The State Forestry Commission shows that during the last fiscal
wear there we're sos fires, sweeping over a total area of 91,340 acres
and involving a money loss of $149,219. AS the commission
pointedly says, it is useless to keep up a show of forestry in New
Jersey and establish forest reserves when there is no assurance
that the forests acquired and improved will not be destroyed by
fire. Our forestry laws are well enough in theory. but in practise
they amount to little. The forested regions will be largely popu-
lated in a few years if they are not devastated and made too
hideous to live in. A common sense forestry policy, with a capable
State commission. can save the State a big annual loss and make
the forests pay the bill, as is done in Germany and France and
other countries where ignorance Of forestry conditions do not pre-
vail among legislators.
