ON THE SIDE

Louisiana lottery, and SO keeps on
running.
Now, among hundreds of thou
sands of others who heard of and
became interested in Lloyds' was a
Californian with a rare and cher
ished growth of whiskers. He con-
ceived the idea of having the spin
ach insured, and Lloyds' took the
risk, the more joyously in that 1t
was different again from anything
they had ever handled.
The Californian went to sleep the
other day with a lighted cigar i'll his
hand and somehow or other-it may
never be known just how it hap
pened-there vas a puff of smoke
and the man awoke to find his chin
looking like a section of country in
the wake of a prairie fire.
Before he had a chance to collect
his insurance, it was limited that a
charge of incendiarism might be
brought against him. While he will
be unable to prove an alibi, the man
says he can easily produce witnesses
who will swear they heard him
sleeping just before the fire broke
out.

credit where Credit Is Due.


To the Editor Of the Evening star:
With everyone kicking about the
way the city is run and the cost OF
running it, wouldn't it be just aswen
to talk of some of the good things
that are accomplished by the city
government? There are good things
IL you look for them long enough,
even though it does not seer so at
first.
Take the recent snow-storm, for
instance. AS I am a resident of the
suburbs and do not come down
town On Sunday, I cannot say how
conditions were then. But ON Mon
day morning l was surprised at the
good appearance presented by the
business streets. The -Four Cor
ners'' were free from nov and the
streets open for several blocks in
either direction. Wagons and show
elers were busy all over and wagon
traffic seemed very little tied up,
considering the heaviness of the
snowfall.
If anyone took the trouble to look
at the Philadelphia papers they
must have been surprised when
they compared the conditions pic
tured and told of there to those in
this city. Everything. according to
those stories, was tied up for a good
part of yesterday, and while our
cars were running almost on time,
theirs were stalled and abandoned
in theadrifts. In New York the story
was much the same. For some rea-
son the street department was not
prepared to meet the contingency
and the business thoroughfares were
blpckaded.
Let's give credit where credit is
due. H. M. T.

THE FIGHT
OVER CONSERVATION

President, instead of being in command of one of the forces, will
be between two fires. 1t all grows out of the conservation policy
conceived under the previous administration and forced upon this
one as a not altogether welcome legacy. President Taft is to send
a special message to Congress soon after it reconvenes next month
on the subject of conservation. 1t has been stated that the mes
sage will be largely the inspiration of Secretary Balinger. 1t will
define the Presidents attitude and show whether he is as willing
to compromise with special interests on the conservation of the
great national resources as he was to compromise with them on
tariff reform. But what the President may say will have less sig
nifcance than what he does or what he fails to do. And no matter
what the special message may say, the Pinchot-Balinger fight must
be fought to a finish, and its echoes will resound in every corner of
the land. Pinchot in his University Club address showed he was
prepared and that he felt the backing of the American people,
which he assuedly has. The people are alive to the fact that the
salvation of the nations resources from predatory hands involves
a great struggle, and they are prepared for one.

To the EditorAof the Evening Star:
The Newark Police Department
has many capable and efficient men
included in its membership. and it
is pleasing to note that when one
member is disabled there is always
another at hand to fill his place.
This was illustrated recently when
Roundsman FULLY, of the -Four Cor
ners'' traffic squad. was injured.
Patrolman William Douglass, one OF
the squad. who has been assistant
to Roundsman Tully, assumed COM
mand at the -Four Corners" and
his work has been such as to cause
much favorable comment from
those who have frequent occasion
to pass these congested corners.
Such work as that performed by
these men of the traffic squad
deserves recognition from the Police
Commissioners. J. H. 7.

being voted on today in each of the municipalities. Only those who
vote in favor of the change will be obligated to adopt it, if not made
impractcable by the dissent of Directing municipalities. The sea
son is not suspicious for a heavy vote in an election, and, as this
is a referendum, it is possible that not more than 20 per cent. of
the popular vote will be polled. In that case, the proposition will
hardly prevail. All the present oficeholders are against ii, and their
efforts to defeat it will be spurred by the fear of losing their jobs
Certain private interests are also opposed to consolidation for they
would have less chance in the larger municipality to further objects
that are quite easily attained in the smaller ones. The form of
referendum adopted in this case is also extremely unfavorable to
consolidation. The municipalities differ essentially; they are
mutually jealous, and the opposition of any one municipality is
enough to prevent a union of ALL

Imposcrs ON Charity.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Dear sir-Statements made by
Superintendent of Public Works
Charles M. Shipman and others are
to the effect thatlaborers out of work
and housed in charitable and other
lodging-houses in this city made
hurried. exits from those places of
refuge as soon Is they heard men
were needed to clear away the snow
fall of Saturday and Sunday.
If these statements are correct, it
indicates that the charitable people
of Newark are being imposed on by
a set of 'grafters," who must look
on this town as a soft snap. A little
quiet investigation might put a stop
to what IN the face looks like a
great abuse.

COUNCIL BOOSTS THE
MARKET RENTS

Council last night, will make an increase of $4,000 in the annual
income. A general raise of 10 per cent. in 1905 makes the total
increase 80 and 20 per cent. In 1905, when it was discovered that
the sinking fund. for the s335OOO of twentyyear market bonis
which mature April /, 1911, was. prospectively, $4,000 short. the
up the deficit in five years, In that way .S3S672 has been raised.
To make assurance dOubly sure the rents are now raised. The
market income is increasing. Last year it was $52476, and this
year $4,000. When the annual interest and sinking fund charges
are extnguished in 1911 there will be a surplus revenue approx
mating $4,000, which will enable the city to make large improve
ments in the market accommodations.
