CAUTION NEEDED.

Though it was predicted at the
close of the legislative session, that
many appropriation measures would
be referred, no referendum petitions
have yet been filed and seemingly
there is little being done towards re-
ferring measures.
This IS hopeful. The referendum
and the initiative are instruments that
should be brought into use with dis
cretion. At the last general election
there were too many initiative and
referendum measures. The thing was
new at that time and people were dis
posed to overwork their privileges.
But now the initiative and refer
endum are no longer mere expert
ments and they should be brought in
to use only in extreme cases. People
should refuse to sign petitions unless
they are informed upon the questions
involved and heartily believe in the
steps that are being taken.

BE our TONIGHT.

This evening the members of the
Commercial association are to vote
upon the question of whether the
club shall seek new quarters or re-
main where it is. 1t is a matter that
has been hanging fire for many
months and should now be settled
definitely.
1t is important to get this question
settled so that the association can go
ahead with it's plans for improving
the rooms. In order to decide the mat
ter properly the membership should
be out in force tonight. Attend the
meeting. Do not remain away and
then complain if the decision does
not suit you.

HIS HoNoRED NAME,

He wandered from the little town
a dozen years or more ago;
He hoped he might achieve renown,
And fancied he was doing so;
He thought of those who stayed be-
hind,
To toll unseen and die unknown,
While he, more fortunate than they
Was mounting upward day by day
And claiming laurels of his own.
He went back, when he thought his
fame
Had spread to every land and cline
When he supposed his honored name
Had been exalted for all time
When he believed that every man
From Budapest to Hackensack
And from Spokane to Ispahan
Must know that few were greater than
He had become, he travelled back.
An ancient settler met him where
He fingered when the train had
gone;
We'll, Danl Binks. I do declare!"
The old man murmured, well |
swami
I'm glad to see you back ag'in,
am. by gum! You're lookin'
prime
Say, Dan'l, if the questions fair,
What you been drivin' at. and where
Have you been stayin' all this
time?"

newspaper charges of pernioious ac-
tivity on the part OF federal office
holders were true, but eN-President
Roosevelt was exoneratod of having
coerced federal officers to assist in
the nomination of Taft
This report is undoubtedly correct
in both instances. That federal Of
flceholders were too busy during the
late campaign is well known. But
few will believe that the ex-president
so far forgot his former teachings as
to encourage such wrongdoing.
\ personal letter written by Roose-
welt during the campaign and which
has just been published, shows that
while he desired the election of Taft
he was unwilling to compromise prin-
c!ple to bring such about During
the campaign an effort was made to
have the government cease a certain
antitrust investigation in consldera-
ton of which the republican fund
would be materially enriched. Writ
ing to Attorney General Bonaparte
the president said:
what a scoundrel - must be,
If he comes to you again I shall be
really delighted to have you tell him
straight from me that the .investiga-
ton will be pressed with the utmost
energy TO a conclusion, and that this
will be done whether his clients con-
tribute a million for the election Of
Taft or a million for the election Of
Bryan, or whether they fail to con-
tribute a cent to either side"
This letter sounds characteristic of
Roosevelt and indicates that the civil
service committees estimate of him
is correct

DIDN'T HAVE TO EAT THERE

The young man entered a cheap
restaurant in Seventh avenue, and
took a seat at one of the tables. II
certainly was a cheap restaurant
not only cheap, but very dirty and un-
tidy in its appointments The pros
pective customer looked up and rec
ognized the serving man.
"Why-Why, Bill. old man. I'm
mighty glad to see you. But, say
say, are you working here?"
yep, I'm workin' here" came the
response from Bill.
That is too bad-too bad, I'm a
bit surprised Hard luck. I suppose,
Ell? 1t sure IS tough to be compell-
ed to work in a place like this" con-
tinued the customer, in a patroniz-
ing manner, as he carefully unfolded
a soiled paper napkin.

sponded the waiter "but | tell you
get some satisfaction out of it, any
way"
"How's that" asked the other.

SHE WAS HIS MOTHER.

To show how advisable it is not to
cr!ticise indiscriminately. a Kansas
City minister relates this experience.
shortly after l was ordained
met an old lady who asked me nu-
merous questions After being in
formed where I had studied, she ask
ed:
"Did you know the Rev. Mr.
Nameless there?'
Every WE'LL I replied.
"'Well, isn't he just the finest
ever?' she exclaimed enthusiastically.
at happened that my relations
with Mr.. Nameless had been exceed
ingly unpleasant, and. with a young
mans radicalism, I felt tempted to
say so. The eagerness of my ques-
toner was appealing, however, and
Mr.. Nameless was a brilliant young
man, so without hurting by conscience
I said:
Unquestionably, he is unusually
gifted
"T knew you'd say So she cried,

AFTER THE OCTOPUS.

An important incident in the eco
nomic history Of the United States
and of the world is now taking place
at st. Louis. The United States gov
ernment is seeking to break up the
Standard Oil company, which it
charges with violating the Sherman
antitrust law.
For the government it has been
shown that for a score of years the
Standard Oil company has been an
oppressive monopoly. The giant trust
Is made up of several scores of in
corporated companies. These con-
troll practically the entire oil busi-
ness Of the country. They purchase
IS per cent of the crude oils of the
country and do 80 per cent Of the do
mestic marketing and exporting.
Throughout its long career the
Standard has been as a mighty Jug
gernaut in running down and crush
ing the life out Of competitors. To
offending rivals it has shown neith-
er mercy nor fairness and for the
laws of the country it has manifested
supreme contempt. Through its
high-handed hoggishness the trust
has made hundreds Of millions Of
dollars.
What will be the result Of the
present suit remains to be seen. But
in the light Of past events 1t would
seem doubtful if any good will re.
suit from It. To begin with, the suit
is now being tried in a court Of origi-
nal Jurisdiction. Even If a verdict
be won by the government the case
may still be carried to the court Of
appeals and then to the supreme
court 1t may be years before the
case is finally settled
But even should it win, what will
the government accomplish? The
present case has no teeth" as had
the case that was tried out before
Judge lands and resulted in a $29.-
900. 900 fine, which unfortunately was
later set aside by a trust favoring
appellate judge. The present suit is
to dissolve the trust. Should the
government win, the Standard people
would have to go through the out
ward show. Of complying with the
law. But with its army Of skilled
lawyers 1t will be surprising IL some
way Of evading the law can not be
found.
However, the suit now pending is
important in that It marks the effort
on the part Of the government to
bring the great Industrial monsters
under control There are many who
believe that thorough enforcement
OF present laws will solve the econom-
ic problems that are now before the
country The result Of the Standard
Oil suit will go far towards showing
whether or not they are right

DOG AND MAN.

He was a dog
But he stayed at home
And guarded the family night
and day.
He was dog
That didn't roam.
He lay on the porch or chased
the stray
The tramp, the burglar, the hen
away;
For a dogs true heart for that
household beat
At morning and evening, in cold
and heat.
He was a man
And didn't stay
To cherish his wife and children
fair.
T'Z
He was a man
And every day
His heart grew callous, its love-
beats rare.
He thought Of himself at the close
OF day
And cigar in his fingers, hurried
away
To the club. the lodge, the store,
the show.
But he had right to go, you
know.
He was . man.

TEACHERS FILE
PETITION AGAINST
THE SCHOOL GRAB
Association Asks Legis=
Iatofs to Find Plan Other
Than Governors,

TRENTON, Jan. ga committee OF
the Trenton Teachers Club has waited
upon the Mercer county representa-
tiyes in the Legislature and presented
to each a copy of the communication
drawn up at a special meeting of the
club on Tuesday and e%mbodying the
sentiments of the organization relative
to Governor Forts recent message sug-
costing the diversion of d large sum
of money from the schools to the State
treasury The communication states
that If Governor Forts proposition be-
comes law the Trenton schools will
lose $780, 900 a year.
The communication was, in part, as
follows: 81.
The Governor recommends that the
general appropriation be reduced to the
extent of $500, 900; and. further, that
there be taken from these funds the
items of expenditure for educational
purposes, other than che public schools,
totalling $500, 600. This would mean in
round numbers not more than So, 100000
from other sources than local ~taxation
to be distributed among the schools.
IF these recommendations are car
ried into effect Trenton would suffer
a total loss of $120,000.
we respectfully commend this mat
ter to your attention in the hope that
you may use your best efforts in the
Legislature to solve the problem of
providing the State with a. sufficient
revenue without changing chapter 146
of the laws of 1906

MORE LAND FOR
NEW JERSEY ASYLUM.
ESPECIAL to the Evening Star. |

TRENTON, Jan. 29.-In his annual
report to the board of managers of the
New Jersey Hospital for the Insane,
Warden Samuel L. Atchley asks Tor
funds with which to purchase more
lands for the institution to enable him
to raise sufficient fodder for the cows
at the institution dairy. He says that
by maintaining its own herd of cattle
there is II great saving to the State.
Mr.. Atchley calls for a new laundry
building and machinery so that the
work can be done more economically.
The annual appraisement of the in
s~titutien shows that the total value of
the property is $1s4. 799.14. Cash was re-
ceived during the year to. the amount
of $3oS,622.19 and disbursed to- the
amount of $31S,21S.14. leaving a cash
balance of $13, 203.G0. The average num-
Der of patients during 1908 was 1920,

MAY RAZE HOUSE TO
GET HIDDEN $4,000.

MANTuA, Jan. 30 Within a radius
of a half mile from this place stands.
a house in which is supposed to be hid
den $4,000, search for which has been
going on some time. The owner of this
house does not want it designated, be-
cause of a fear that it might be torn to
pieces
Members of the family have looked
over every portion Of it, even 10 tax
ing off many of the weatherboards. but
have been unable to locate the. cash.
That it is there the WIG has no doubt.
The father of the wife of this man
started the search. When dying, some
time ago; he attempted to tell his
daughter where this money would be
found, but death came before he could
finish his story.
1t is now believed that the money is
buried within the walls somewhere, and
it is probable that the house will be
torn down shortly to get the money.
