A NEW DEPARTURE
FORCED BY ZELAYA

state OF affairs in that country may involve a radical, new departure
in our relations with Latin America. In the Antilles Europe was
much nearer Cuba and Porto Rico than was the United States prior
to the Spanish-American War;, which was forced upon us by the
atrocities of Weyler and the blowing up of the Maine, and that
event completely changed our relations with Cuba, making her,
naturally, a dependency of this republic, while Porto Rico is an
American province. 1t worked a marvellous change in our rela
tons in the Far East. American sentiment is not usually demon
strative. There was emotion when the Maine was blown up, but
no great excitement, as there would have been in a European
country. But there was no less an intense feeling, and President
Mckinley felt it's silent force. There is a strong popular feeling
now that the crime by Zelaya must be adequately punished upon
Zehya; that our government must act or be called craven. Sec
rotary Knox has thus far responded to that sentiment, but has
proceeded with due deiberation, conscious of the delicate ground
on which he must tread, but determined to assert to the uttermost
the rights of American citizens, in their lives and property, who
are domiciled in a Latin-American state, as well, also, perhaps, the
protection of all foreign interests located there from violence. The
Monroe Doctrine imposes that duty on this government, for if we
are to guard the southern half of the continent from the terri
torial greed of Europe we must see to it that Europe does not
receive provocations serious enough to involve us in costly wars.

Give Young blood a CHANCE.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-It seems remarkable
that in a city as large as ours
there should be ~sergeants as we'll
as patrolmen in the police depart
ment who, though they are entitled
to retire, nevertheless continue to
hang on, thus retarding the promo
ton of younger men. ] have in
mind one man, who is a desk-ser-
geant in one of the precincts, who,
though he is eligible to retire and is
getting a good pension. not only
from the city, but from the govern
ment, still sticks TO active duty.
This man is said to be independent
ly wealthy, and There seems to be
no reason for his continuance in
harness. This Is only one of many
cases.
The presentment handed up by the
November grand jury stated the
Ease clearly. There is not suf-
ficient police protection in many
sections and the law Will not allow
the appointment of more at pres
ent. Let these old men get out and
give the young blood a chance.
Yours, @. M. j.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Dear Sir-One of the first re-
quirements of an efficient municipal
government is a well-trained ''city
cleaning force, which, in this city,
is embodied in the street cleaning
department. Although too much
kicking has never accomplished
much good, here's one, accompanied
by a suggestion. which | wish 0
would give space in your valuable
paper.
Why doesn't the street cleaning
department clean the residential
lay the dust In the summer on the
more important of u dirt streets?
Surely they cannot argue insitf-
ficient funds when the tax rate Is at
$3.50, as nearly as I remember.
In the southern section of the city
the condition of the streets in the
middle of the week Is despicable-
almost, but not quite as bad as the
condition of Lincoln Park in the
summer time. Dirt-germ-breeding
d~irt-stirred up by traffic and
breathed in by the passersby-
children and adults-is everywhere.
A little more money in this de-
partment. and a little better admin
istration, would be a decided inn
provement. Yours sincerely. 4

full privileges of citizenship, do re-
tain some of the characteristics and
Blue laws of their ancestors, and
also ~carbunclcs injected into the
statutes by later settlers.
One of the latter is the dollar poll
tax, which has been abolished by
nearly every State in the Union, be-
cause it was. found that the money
raised by the tax was paid to the
political hacks who collected it, and
that working men paid the tax two
or three times over in rent money
and what they paid for clothing and
food for their families. In some
States not only has the poll tax been
abolished, but household goods to
the value of $3.50 or $500 are exempt
from taxation.
Why does New Jersey retain the
poll tax? Is it because the big
politicians want soft berths for their
township and ward workers?

The salvage Corps Mennce

hHc Su1vSSe tOFpS neuHcc'
To tho Editor of the Evening star:
Dear Sir-The article in your paper
with reference to the dangerous
speed maintained by the Salvage
Corps was timely.
When one considers that the corps
is the product of the Insurance Ex-
change, and that it's purpose is to
minimize the fire loss of the insur-
ance companies, the wonder grows
that it should be permitted to en-
danger life while seeking to ave
property.
In going to a fire it is essential
that the fire-fghting appliances
for not only property, but human
life, may be in danger. 1t is this
danger which justifies the terrific
speed of the appliances maintained
by the public; indeed, it requires 1t.
Assuming that the Salvage Corps
has the right to endanger life while
seeking to ave property, no real
justification can be advanced for
the speed which it maintains in re-
turning from a fire. The danger
wen to insurance interests is
passed; why recklessly menac the
safety of the travelling public?
L wish, Mr.. Editor, you would
put your influence behind this mat
ter and press it forward to a speedy
adjustment. If you will do so, you
will receive the thanks of many who
have been compelled to risk life and
limb in Drawing a danger that
should not be permitted to exist in
u public streets. Very truly yours,
j. G. l..

one outcome-a complete reorganization of the institution. with
a capable medical and managerial head. A man may be thor.
oughly capable as an insanity expert and at the same time in

there should be a business man to attend to the general affairs

suited in clashes of authority and decentralization. The State hos.
pitfalls at Morris Plains and Trenton have stewards, but they are

THE SCHOOL BUDGET
A REDTT TO THE CITY

whole proceeding in respect TO the school budget was pleasing. The
Educational Board made a p~ainstakng estimate, excluding all non
essentials and some minor essentials. The justice of the budget
adopted was not questioned by the city administration, but it was
pointed out that there were other pressing necessities of the city
that could not now be ignored and that policy dictated a budget re-
duction. Thereupon the Board of Education revised its estimates
and its reduced budget was unanimously passed by the Board of
Estimate Yesterday, with a total of 81, 2s9, 700 to be raised by a bond
issue. Much will be accomplished by this expenditure, including a
new high school for the south end, four new grade schools with
modern facilities, two ungraded schools and additions to two schools
besides sites for a new normal school and three grade schools and
additional land for two schools. Taxpayers who pay attention to
the work of the Board of Education and have watched the prepa-
ration of the new budget feel assured that every dollar of expendi
ture is amply justified, and also that the city will get full value
for the money.
