CIenn-up.Is Needed.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Ii ever a section of this city should
be leaned out, it is the section around
Nicholson street and Landers alley.
This region is about the flthiest place
in the city, and not only is it filthy, but
it is practically composed of illegal
houses, run by negroes. Enough dis
ease germs could come from this place
to endanger the community at large.
If one wishes to walk down these
streets-and it is seldom that anyone
does-it is necessary to pick a way
through refuse thrown in the street,
dirty little urchins rolling in the gutter
and listen to the vulgar remarks of low
class women, both white and black, who
sit in the doors of the tenements and
address everyone who passes.
Aside from any moral reason, but for
the physical safety of the public, this
place should be cleaned. Disease is
bound to breed there, and once it gets
started it will spread to the rest of the
city, for then it will be practically i'm
possible to keep the inhabitants of this
section at home. Let the Tenement
Commission do something.

A M p EXPERIMENT.

Dear Sir-To decide a bet, when
you turn a sharp corner in a vehicle
travelling very fast do the outside or
the inside wheels of said vehicle
leave the ground. SCIENTIFIC.
This question has recently caused
so much bitterness that we do not
intend to be drawn into the contro-
versy. However, you may easily
find out for yourself. Borrow a
friends automobiles last years
model will do; choose any sharp
corner in the city, and when there
are no motorcycle cops in sight go
around it at a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
gait.
If the machine in capsizing throws
you into the curb it is, of course, the
outside wheels which leave the
ground; If to the a tracks, it is the
inside wheels which are elevated.

Less oHiciaI speed.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
While l appreciate that we are in a
period of twentieth century progression,
and things that don't move rapidly in
the sphere of events are left far be-
hind, nevertheless [ believe that maybe
in some lines this" rapid progression is
overdone literally, as we'll as figura-
lively. My source of grievance is the
fast-moving Salvage Corps apparatus
and the City Hospital Ambulance.
When Chief Ashley gets his new ma
chine, I suppose he will follow the suit
of the other "right-of-way machines"
and proceed to burn up speed.
AS far as I know, neither of the ma
chimes has met with a serious accident.
so now is the time for the authorities to
act. Cut down this speed a little and
make them stop taking so many
chances going around the corners,
Every man is entitled to his life, and
the authorities are bound to protect a
mans right. SERVE Tx

FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL Is. 1910.
THE WATER SUPPLY QUESTION IN PLAINFLELD.

tn LAINFIELDS special election next Tuesday is simply to de
lS termine whether the municipality shall have freedom TO
choose whether to make a new contract with the private
water company which now supplies the city or establish a munlclpai
water supply or make a contract with another company. Public
sentiment is overwhelmingly for the City Council to use its DIS
erection. but the local water company will fight. There is involved
in the question. also, the matter of the diversion of water out OF
Plainfeld territory for sale elsewhere. The Plainheld Union Water
Company supplies Plainfeld water to FanwoOd, Westfeld, Crawford,
RoselIe and Elizabeth. More than half the wafer out of Plalnfelds
available supply is sold by the company to other municipalities. In
six years there has been a drop in the water level of more than
twenty feet, the consumption increasing from 115000,0OO to 40,
100000 gallons. Plainfeld and the surrounding towns are growing,
and so is the consumption of water. 1t is folly for a town of any
size to permit its water supply to be owned privately. Plainfeld
should establish a public plant and have control OF its drinking
water.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND WOMAN RESTRAINT.

TM RESIDENT TAFT well said to the sufragettes who Missed
him at the national suffrage convention in Washington last
night: "You must show yourselves equal to selfgoyernment
by exercising, in listening to opposing arguments, that degree OF
restraint without which successful selfgovernment is impossible.
Kissing the nations President is something new in the experience
of the american people. Mr. Taft said nothing offensive or com
bative. His discourse was couteors and good natured. He was
not prepared TO accept woman cdfrage. because he apprehended
that the least intelligent of the sex would vote, while the intelligent
would fail TO vote. This mild depreciation of woman suffrage pro
voked Kisses for the President. What would have happened if the
President had been severe in his remarks? We shudder to think.

m FTER IA tempestuous session last night the British Commons
IN passed the two vital resolutions affecting the status of the
House of Lords and making the parliamentary term five
years, instead of seven years. If the Lords refuse to take bheirI
medicine. Premier Asquith will thereupOn advise the King as to
what steps shall be taken to enforce the will of the Commons upon
the Lords. II this step does not avail. there will be dissolution, but
only under conditions to make a general election decisive. BY the
terms of an arrangement with the Irish NationaHsts, they will sup.
port the budget and the Liberal program, and a home rule bill will
lie passed by Liberal and Nationalist votes. Premier AsqHih has
exhibited more courage and decision than he had been credited
with. He has taken the straight end brave and logical course, in
stead of temporizing. and finds back of him a united majority. The
archaic legislative system of Great Britain, a survival of the Middle
Ages. is doomed. anyhow. The hereditary legislator is bound to
go. and The longer that reaction holds out the harder will the terms
be that the people will present to the Lords.

wants streets oiled.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Let's wish the Board of Trade all sue
cess in their crusade for cleaner streets.
Let's hope they find some way to rid
the city of dusty thoroughfares. In
New York n never encounters the
clouds of dust whirling up the streets
that one does here, and 1t is just as
windy there, too. There the streets are
occasionally s%prinkled with oil, which
keeps them moist and prevents dust.
Why not give some of the streets here
an occasional oiling? 1t would relieve
a suffering public from annoying dust,
which would certainly be worth
the expense and trouble

and human life; the policeman who, on
his lonely vigil at night, arrests desper-
ate men, never thinking of himself but
only of his duty. There are many
other classes, and the papers every day
have instance after instance of unset
fish sacrifice and bravery.
There may be those who say that it
is the duty of firemen and policemen
to protect life and property, and this
is undoubtedly so. 1t is their duty,
and they are paid for it, but the high
class of courage shown by many OF
the humber classes in work, whether
public servants or not, deserves more

that their lines, especially those in

OW the word may disappeared from the Assembly bill per
II hitting Jersey City to expend S50O0OO for new water mains,
which bill was vetoed by the Governor because of the lack
of that little word. is to be inquired into by Assemblyman Tumulty,
its introducer. The bill as first drawn made the appropriation
mandatory. This was changed i'll the House and the word may
was inserted in the bill by the assemblymen, and was in the bill
when it passed the House. The word was not in the bill when it
reached the Governor. Whether the omission was due TO careless
ness of legislative employees or to design, it is equally culpable.
The Legislature maintains n large force, on the principle of having
three men to do a single mans ordinary work, and it is exasperating
to know that these political benefciaries cannot be trusted. The
disappearance of several important bills at the close of the session,
that were found only after ii yigilant search, strongly indicated
design.

County salary Increases.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Why this wholesale raise of salaries
among the county officials at this time?
Is it because the price of foo happens
to be high just now or is it because
an additional percentage is wanted for
future campaign funds?
If the price of food goes down will
the salaries be decreased? Not. While
it is true that in a few instances an
increase may have been warranted be-
