TUESDAY EVENT. NC. APRIL %, 1910.
GOVERNOR HUGHES N THE UsT1CEsHlp.

NV previous presidential appointment to the Supreme bench TOR
AW many years met more general and cordial approval from
men of all political parties than President Tafts appoint.
ment of Governor Hughes TO succeed the late Justice David }.
Brewer. There was fear that the influences that have prevailed at
Washington during the present administration and have sWayed
Nj. Taft in important acts and policies would prevail in this, and
that the appointment would be another mistake 10 be credited to
the Taft administration. Whatever the influences at work, the ut.
ness of Governor Hughes was so conspicuous ana Inc popular
desire for his appointment 70 manifest that the President could
not be blinded in his duty. The United States Supreme Court IS
the sheetanchor of the republic. On the one hand, L consefVes
the inyiolabiity of property rights. and on the other protects the
rights of the individual. 1t holds government TO the organic law,
and thus prevents excuses in legislation and usurpation OF power
by the executive. The chief judicial tribunal of a nation of eighty
million souls must needs be august. as the United States Supreme
Court is. An appointment TO that court is the most important,
delicate and responsible duty of the nations executive. An i'm
proper appointment would be in the nature of treason. Governor
Hughes has been in the public eye ever since the Armstrong tasnr-
.ance investigation was begun. He has displayed qualities and
talents that have commanded the admiration of the American
people. No other appointment would have been received with the
universal and unqualified favor with which that of Governor Hughes
is hailed today throughout the land.

Opposex Wood paNcment.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t is to be hoped that Mayor Hauss-
ling and the members of the Board Of
Works will continue to oppose the use
of wood pavement for Market street or
any other street in the city because OF
it's many Objectionable features. The
streets of New York have been cited
by some of those who are in favor OF
it by claiming that it gives splendid
satisfaction over there. / do not know
where they get the idea from, because
if they made a personal investigation
they would find it one of the most Ian
gerous, and at the same time. disagree
able pavements that was ever laid, for
mar or beast.
In the warm weather the tar oozes
from the wood, which leaves the sur
face covered with a sticky substance
and a bad odor. A persons shoes are
soon made almost useless owing TO the
sticky stuff, and it also ruins your
clothes. The sidewalks get tracked

with it. to such a degree that they are
a sight.
The advocates OF the pavement may
say that this only happens when it is
new. Well, the same objections pre-
vail as to the old, because they do not
dare TO use water on the pavement, as
it econes SO slippery that n cannot
walk on it; and it Is utterly impossi-
BILE for q horse to attempt to travel
over it unless it's hoes are kept
sharpened all of the time.
There is just one redeeming ~fea-
ture 10 wood pavement. That is that
it is noiseless, and that is all, because
otherwise it is most disagreeable, and
should not be tolerated. / hope the
city officials will continue to oppose it
and relieve the people from a burden
and useless waste of money.

AN THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION BE HALTED

IT j has been said that revolutions never 90 backward. \ reyo.
III luton in the political thought in the United States was begun
with the enactment Of the Payne Aldrich tariff. 1t gathered
force as the effects Of the new tariff were felt. With minds enamel
pated from party shibboleths. people were led to inquire why the
trusts had attained such a prOdigiOus growth, why Congress was
dominated by men hostile to remedial legislation. why great national
policies were halted and given over to the charge of their pro
claimed enemies, their trusted servtors being dismissed. The revo.
luton has silently gone on, with everincreasing strength. Can it
be turned back before the ides of November? Can there be effected
in a few weeks "a great revuIsion of public sentiment? Surely not
as long as present conditions are without remedy, and there is none
in sight, and none is possible now. A Macedonian cry for help goes
across the Atlantic to Roosevelt, whose departure for Africa was
accompanied by the wish of his party leaders that every lion would
do it's duty" The hons are at the Smithsonian, and Roosevelt will
soon embark for home. viii he come to the rescue of a distraught
party organization that feels the ground rapidly slipping away he,
meath it's feet? Or will he not see that the revolution must take its
logical course to insure those reforms that he had stood for and
the Taft administration has blocked?

ROOSEVELT CONOUERS PARIS.

IT 7 is evident enough that Roosevelt has conquered Paris. The
II French metropolis received him with some of its characteristic
cynlcism. Roosevelt had been feted in Italy and Austria
Hungary and would receive distinguished honOrs in Germany and
England. France must do the honors, too. But cold fornality was
soon replaced by warm appreciation and real enthusiasm. The Sor-
bonne address struck the great chord of French sympathy. The
@yirility of the man. his Homeric ideas. his versatility, more than
ibis former rank or his achievements, appealed to the Imagination
Gof Paris, a city where such qualities ire best appreciated. The
remark by the project of police of Paris that Roosevelt "eyidenty
had been fed since infancy on the marrow of lions was a bit of
hyperbolef that we'll expressed the Partisan idea of this man of
Strenuous life, so different from the average man and so violent
n contrast to the Paris bouleyardicr. Having conquered Paris and
so powerfully impressed his personality on the Parisians, will
Roosevelt achieve the same triumph in Berlin and London? If he
does, then, indeed, his success will be Napoleonic.

Roof Garden Needed.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
One thing above all others that would
add to the comfort of those who will
be compelled to remain in the city dur
ing the hot summer months is a cool,
attractive root garden, a place where
one Fan go in the evening and sit and
listen to good music or singing and be
above the noise and dust of the street.
Several of the larger buildings could
be fitted up in this way. Not only
would it bring lots of amusement to the
summer citizens, but, what is more
important, it would be a paying propo-
sition. Let some enterprising restau-
RAM man take heed and provide a long
suffering public With a much-needed
luxury. u. u. n.

The stray Dog EVIL.

the Editor Of the Evening Star:
II the crusaders against dogs run
ming wild on the streets will take q
trip up to the junction of Market street
and Springfield avenu they will find
plenty of opportunity for action. At
any time, day or night, all the way
from three to a dozen or more NANCY,
half-starved, ill-kept ours are running
wild.
Even the Court House corridors are
not exempt from the invasion Of the
dogs, and on one occasion lately two
dirty curs even invaded the sacred
precincts of the Criminal Court room on
the second floor. Court, however, did
not happen to be in session at the time,
SO the dogs escaped punishment.

A CITY FREE FROM TUBERCULOSIS.

PTS HE optimistic prediction that tuberculosis will be eradnated
in Newark in the next ten years is more of a hope thar a
promise. To accomplish that result more energetic work
must be done under public and private auspices. Laws and ordi
nances are good enough as long as they are strictly carried out.
Faith and zeal must be supplemented by hard and persistent work.
There is a great task TO perform in the education of the people.
Tenement life must be vastly improved over present conditions, and
10 that end there must be a greatly improved system of tenement
house inspection. There must be larger appropriations for hos
pitfalls and camps. The Legislature has thus far exhibited indif.
ferent interest and it's appropriations have been scanty. Effective
State aid is necessary. 1t will be we'll to talk about a CITY free
from tuberculosis after the deathrate from the disease has been
reduced onehalf.

Undergrourd Trolley Wires.

To the Editor Of tho Evening Star:
Why not make Newark up to date
and have underground trolley wires?
One of the ugly features of this city is
the large amount OF wires strung over
head.
What if it was desired to give a
parade in celebration of some event?
1t would pc impossible for large floats
TO pass on any of the streets on which
trolleys run, because of the low-hang-
ing wires. Then there is the possibility
of storms breaking them down and
strewing the streets with live wires.
Underground wires are not only mod
ern and up-to-date. but they are the
only safe kind to have in a city.

OPPRESSION.

BARRIERS of Waterloo, Neb, must
have reached the conclusion that
there is something in a name after
all, as the City Council out there
has passed an ordinance which bids
fair to take all the pleasure out Of
their work.
According to the provisions of
this town law it is illegal for any
barber in Waterloo to eat onions
between Z a. m. and 9 p. M; to
insert his thumb or finger in q

probably, to read it. From this it fol-
lows again that the reader has received
just so much more of an education.
Good books, as a writer one wisely
observed, are the best of friends be-
cause they always tell you the same
thing. Good books, even though they
may not be of strictly educational
value, are to be highly priced because
they furnish the most wholesome of
entertainments. HENRY T.

A PRACTICAL ARBoP DAY OBSERVANCE.

m RBOR DAY could be utilized TO great advantage if the observ.
IN ance of the holiday was properly systematized. The city
employs a Shade Tree Commission and appropriates money
for the purpose of planting trees and caring for them. Arbor Day
observance has mostly been of an academic character. 1t could be
made practical, also. Under direction by the Shade Tree Commits
sion thousands of willing hands could be employed in tree plant
ing and i'll work intended for the protection of trees now growing.
Practise should go with precept, anyhow.

customers mouth; TO discuss the
gossip of the town; to chew tobacco
while working, or to insist upon a
customer having his neck shaved
or his hair singed.
Almost looks as though personal
liberty vas being trampled down,
regardless, in Waterloo, when that
last clause is considered. While
neither the Constitution nor the
Missouri Compromise comes right
out and says a barber may demand
these things, they have been doing
it from time immemorial, until the
custom has become almost a part
of our common law.
Some Of the Waterloo BARRIERS
threaten to start a test case with
the man who introduced the ordi-
nance and carry it to Lincoln.
Others propose getting up a Bryan
club in the hope that the Great
Commoner will incorporate their
rights In another new plank for his
platform.
