ingly supplied with money and are as
a rule well dressed. These are MEM
bers of a different kind of gang, whose
operations are frequently rehearsed in
h least savory items OF news that ap-
pear in the papers from day to day.
The fact that they are better dressed
than the members of gangs in more
dimly lighted sections of the city does
not make them any the less dangerous
or their methods any the more desir-
able.
While we may be expected to support
a reasonable percentage of such human
parasites we car hardly be asked to
harbor the number that the city now
contains and the police would make nc
mistake in rounding up some of these
people and as~certaining exactly what
their means of livelihood are and what
services they perform for the immunity
from arrest that they apparently enjoy
on numerous occasions.
Perhaps the lesson conveyed by the
Third precinct, was a little severe, but
who shall say but what a few such
incidents may not saw the city from
the kind of gang rule that New York
has had to contend with and which
has resulted In a number Of uniformed
men giving up their lives in ar attempt
to contend single-handed with the same
class of people who in many respects en-
joyed the same kind of immunity?

Lnuds Policeman for Act.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star!
The rather unfortunate clash that
occurred between a member of the po-
lice force from the Third precinct and
an alleged member of a gang that is
said to infest that section of the Iron
bound District" where the run-in took
place. is but an added Indication, II
one were needed, that some drastic
measures will be necessary to stamp out
the gangs that have been gaining In
strength and numbers in Newark for
several years past.
1t requires no midnight tour Of some
of the less desirable sections of our
city to show to just what extent these
gangs are Furnishing. Unfortunately,
again, many of these rowdies claim i'm
munity from molestation through real
or fancied political afiliation and their
arrogance on the occasions when they
are told to dispense Is only too well
known to the police.
AS If to bear put their claims rela-
tive to so-called pull" many of these
characters, when they r finally land
ed in the tolls, seem to escape pun
ishment altogether or are dealt with SO
leniently that their reputed influence
appears at times to be more than an
idle boast.
Anyone who cares to make a visit OF
the all-night places in the city will be
perhaps more than our share Of the
kind of men who. while apparently
never having anything to do, are seem

FOOTING Bldo7RY OUT OF THE KINGS OATH.

N VIDENTLY the timedishonored accession oath in England
III is to be reformed by Parliament without much ado, after all.
The protests made by the intoerants have spent their force.
The sane thought of England predominates. The new king will not
have to go through the rigmarole of bigotry that Disguised his
father. But the change marks a great advance in. England-greater
than may appear. In Gladstones time it would have been impos-
sible. to get a premier to introduce a bill and Parliament would
have gasped at such a proposition as that of changing the form of
the kings oath by one jt to relax it's religious severity. Riots would
have broken out in British cities. England progresses in thought
with the rest of the world.

WORK that is being performed by the engineers of the State
Roads Commission has received no public attention. 1t is
the relocation of billy roads. When the old roads were
laid out little attention was paid to the reduction of grades. Land
owners usually influenced the road-making to bring their properties
on the roadway. So the grades reached Is per cent, and even more.
Picturesque Sussex is mountainous, and its old roads are laborious
to travel over. Relocation is reducing the grades to such an extent
that travel is made easy. Engineer A. Fl. Konkle, of Sussex county,
who has been engaged in this work, tells of a relocated road nearly
six miles in length now under construction between Franklin Fur
mace and the Stockholm mountain to the Passaic county line, on
which the maximum grades have been reduced from II per cent. to
6 per cent, while at the same time several dangerous railroad grade
crossings have been cut out. The new road will be one of the most
picturesque ones in the State. These improvements for travel are
exceedingly valuable to the State. They make the mountain regions
accessible and will bring in population and wealth.

WEDNESDAY EVEN ING. JUNE 20, 1910.
THE PEOPLE PAY THE WHOLE BILL.

NAVHERE does the money come from to pay the plilons OIL
INV expenditure voted by Congress-? There is a vague impress
sion among many people that the money is extracted by
some governmental hocuspocus out of nothing. Large revenues
are collected at the custom houses and the people have been old
that these revenues In collected from the foreigner. There is also
a big income from internal revenue tax on liquors, tobacco,
etc. but, of course, the producing companies pay that tax. This
wear the corporations are assessed a direct tax, and the careless
citizen believes he is not affected in any way by that tax. The
simple truth is that all these are indirect taxes on the people and
are paid, every dollar, by the people. The billions appropriated by
Congress, therefore, come out of the peoples pockets. Indirect
taxes ire insidious. The masses of people are taxed without know
ing it, although they feel the tax in the cost of everything they buy.
The vast sum appropriated by Congress this year will be paid by
the people.

RENO THE CENTRE OF INTEREST.

oTa HE town of Reno concentrates the attention of the country.
The best evidence of that fact is the growing volume of the
press dispatches from Reno, in which every move of the two
big fighters is chroniced and all the gossip Of the town is given
in detail. The tide of travel Renoward has set in in earnest, and by
Sunday what a Sunday it will be in RenoD the town will be
crowded, with cots at a high premium. Reno is not a hotel town,
and it will be put to shifts to accommodate the horde of visitors
and to feed them, and if prices go skyhigh nobody need complain.
Somebody else besides the fighters and their managers and packers
is going to make money out Of the game.

CANNON'S POLITICAL OPTIMISM.

90 PEAKER CANNON says: "In all my life / have never seen
a situation so full of promise of Republican victory in the
fall" Politicians are prone to talk through their hats, but
Cannon is the only one of the reactionaries at Washington to in
Bdulge in such optimism. 1t has been manifest that Cannon does not
comprehend the change that has come over the political thought of
the country. He could see in the boiling of the insurgent Republi-
cans in the House only the malevolence of disappointed individuals.
He could see no popular sentiment supporting these men. He sees
none now. The 'grand old Republican party" as exemplifed by
himself and Aldrich, is, in his obstinate judgment. as firmly en-
strenched now as ever, and to him the situation is full of rare
promise. And yet in another year Speaker Cannon is likely to
tbe cast among the wrecks that lie upon the rocks and shoals of
politics.

Objects to Sidewalk Name Plates.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The system sed in naming the
streets crossing South Orange avenue
from Grove street to West End g
has caused a great deal of
to business men who are not familiar
with that district. The names of the
streets are found set into the pavement
In brasswork.
The sane and dust from the cutters
usually keep the letters almost entirely
covered, and the stranger will look
nearly five minutes trying to find out
where he Is at, even when he is aware
of the system. The writer has lost
more than fifteen important minutes
recently while trying to locate West
End avenue. How the stranger can
get about that section at nighttime is
a mystery to me.
The system is very neal and accurate
when 1t Is known, but the residents Of
those streets are not the only ones
that use them. People will look at the
poles and houses on street corners to
find the name OF a street they are on,
but not one in twenty would think of
looking on the sidewalk for 1t.
AS a reader of the EVENING STAR
and a business man, l trust you will
publish this letter and the inventor of
the troublesome street-naming system
will have his attention called to the
difficulty. The ordinary way of dis
tinguishing streets will not mar the
beauty Of the above-named section.

of last nights shooting Of a citizen

BETTER PROTECTION
 FOR THE CHILDREN
Californis's War on the Common
 School Drinking Cup.

reader vf The Republican hands in the following clipping from the san Diego Union. describing project of the California state board of health with the request that it be published and the suggestion that those who read it should give the matter thoughtful attention:
 To observe a day for the sma asbing and burying of school common drink ing cups is the latest proposal of the state board of health. The last Fri day in March is suggested for d cere- monial day throughout the schools of the state.
 In an interview Secretary Snow says: The object of the ceremonial is to do away with an old public school enemy. and also to give the California children q lesson in sani- tation and personal cleanliness that will never be forgotten. At home chill dren eat and drink out of individual dishes that are washed in hot soapy water between usings: at school num- bers of children drink from one cup that may not be washed once year When the bell rings for the close of recess a crowd of thirsty. perspiring youngsters rush to the cup have sore lips. bad colds. incipient consumption, or may be feyerish from an infectious disease.
 Any of these undesirable. not to say dangerous. conditions may thus be- come common, in many instances schools are closed and lives are lost. think that every one who has chil dren in school will breathe easier when the cups are underground"
 Dr. Snow suggests further that the establishment of sanitary drinking devices be made q feature of the cup burying cere monial In the absence of expensive drinking fountains. fau- cets may be turned wrong side up, being left tilted slightly to one side so that water will not fall back on the metal. and protected by wire mouth guard or board with six inch hole placed directly over and d few inches above the jet of water.
 Where water under pressure is not available, the dipping buckets may be replaced by coolers with faucets. or pickle barrels with drawing spigots that cost only IT. cents. Children may then provide themselves with indivi- dual drinking cups that may be Kept, in clean collar or chalk boxes nailed to a shelf or along wall. The cups should occasionally be thoroughly boiled.
 A tin cup costs only h cents. cracked teacup from home will do condensed milk can-the 5-cent slze with the edges beaten smooth with q hammer. is better to drink from than a cup of gold mouthed by the passing thrOng.
 The superintendent of public in struction concurs as to the dangers attending the use of common drinking cups in schools. and in suggesting formal destruction of the public enemy.
