Because leaves fade and fall ere the

should Glenn walks.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
While Superintendent Shipman, Of
the Board of Works, is at the task Of
cleaning the sidewalks OF all obstruc-
tons would it not be a good idea to
also see that the walks on some Of the
thickly settled streets are also kept
clean? He might as well do all at
once and then we might get the APP
pellation of "City Beautiful" as III
nickname.
1 was passing through one Of the
thickly settled districts today and no
ticed that the walks were in an unclean
condition. BY that I mean that the
walks looked as though they had not
been swept for at least M week. This
should not be. The walks were Uttered
with refuse that had evidently been
thrown there by children. and out of
pure neglect been left to remain.
If the superintendent will only look
into this matter and AVE his in
spectors call the attention of it to the
tenants 1 am sure that 1t will soon be
remedied.

THE ATTEMPT TO XIII MAYOR dAYNoR.

61 HERE W no political or fractional motive in the attempt
made to assassnate Mayor Gaynor, and therefore u De
plorabe incident has no relation whatever to politics. Tne
wouldbe assassin acted from an insane sense OF personal INJURY
He had. he believed. been illtreated as an employee of the city
government by being deprived of his job. He had solicited rein
statement and was denied. In brooding over his imagined wrongs
his resentment fixed upon the head of the municipal government
and If enraged him to know that the Mayor who had declined to
restore to him his lost job was on the point Of departing Tor
Europe. Then a murderous impulse took him to Hoboken to Kill
Mayor Gaynor. 1t is a relief, therefore, to reflect that the at
tempted assassination was a nonpo1itical act; that there was no
plot in it, but only the blind rage of an individual who, as ne said
had been deprived of his bread and butter" But it is also a serious
matter for reflection that a public official, intent upon doing his
and fearless in performing il, should be exposed to the danger
of a pistol or knife in the hands of any reckless and uncomfortable
man who resents his official acts. After the assassination OF three
Presidents the government has adopted means of guarding the
persons of Presidents from the approach of dangerous characters
Must it come to pass that we shall have to safeguard the persons OF
governors and mayors in the same way?

Appreciates STAIRS HeIp,

To the Editor of the Evening Star:

for printing the various cases of desti-
tuition which come under your notice.
The success that attends these publica-
tons is remarkable. / am a carpenter
and one of my fellow workers was re-
Gently seriously hurt by falling from a
building. The man is Samuel Probin-
sky, who lives with his family at Q
Hillside place. A picture OF his wife
and four children appeared in your
paper recently, with an article which
told of the family's desperate situa-
ton. financially.
Several of your good hearted readers
responded to this appeal for help, and
for the time being Mrs. Probinsky and
her family are being taken care of. This
certainly is a worthy idea. If other
papers would follow your example a
lot Of the suffering by the poor would
be relieved. Wishing you success in
all your efforts I remain,

matter. What is the result? As has
happened scores of times, an accident
Of fire, which endangers the lives Of
men and women, some of whom are
burned to death and others left MANNED
for life. A railroad accident has hap
pened, Inc scores are killed and hurt.
The cause is, someone misplaced a
switch, some one failed to give the
proper signal, some one neglected his
duty, and because of their wrongdoing
many suffer the sad consequence.
There are two great powers that con-
troll matter and lives today, the power
of God, who is almighty. and the power
of satan, who is mighty, but whose
power is limited. God created man a
free moral agent, with the liberty Of
choosing for himself to do that which
is right or that which is wrong, and he
has set laws in order that any
violating them will bring suffering upon
themselves and upon innocent ones as
well, for the iniquities Of the fathers
are visited unto the third and fourth
generations upon them that hate him.
AS God is pure and holy and loves
men and women, He cannot be charged
with sending accidents, calamities, sick
ness and diseases upon men and
women, yet He permits 1t daily. II we
rightly understand God and His word,
we must come to the conclusion that,
as satan is the prince of the power of
the air, and is permitted to tempt men
and women. as a result of the fall of
man, these bad conditions have come
upon all humanity, and in many cases
poor innocent ones suffer as a direct
result Of wilful ~wrongdoers. c. 2.

NO AppoR71oNMENT FOR THE SENATE.

ema HERE will be a new apportionment for the House of Assem-
by on the basis Of the new census, the membership of the
House being limited to sixty members. But there will be
no new apportionment for the Senate, and there never has been
one since the adoption Of the Constitution, in 1874. Consequently
under our system of Senate representation, the disproportion of
population in the twentyone counties of the State constantly in
creases. The large counties grow more rapidly than the small
counties. In the five years between 1900 and 1905 the population
of Essex county was Increased by 50,675. This increase alone was
greater than the total population In each Of eight counties in 1905
and was more than double the combined populations of two
counties, each having the same representation as Essex in the State
Senate. Much more than one-half the 26O474 increase of popula,
ton In five years shown by the State census of 1905 was in the four
counties Of Essex, Hudson, Passaio and Bergen. How long will
this wretched systsm of legislative representation be maintained?

THE BREAKING OF PARTY LINES.

oTa HE fact dawns on the minds of Democratic managers in the
Western States that have been carried by the Progressive
Republicans that there is a strong possibility of Democratic
voters supporting the Progressive Republican candidates instead of
the candidates of their own party. In Kansas and Iowa the Regular
Republicans deeply resent the success of the Progressives, and it is
expected that many of them will either stay away from the polls
or vote the Democratic ticket. This detection might balance and
even exceed any Democratic trend to Progressive candidates. The
general feeling in the West, as in the East, is, however, one of
opposition to the party in power by reason, chiefly, of the tariff
and high prices, and that feeling will initiate against the chances
of all Republican candidates, however they may be labeled.

CHARLTON MAY NOW BE ExTRADI7ED.

tt F our government shall comply with the demand of Italy for
II the extradition of Charlton, the wifmurderer, as the govern
ment is now expected to do, compliance will be due to the in
sstence of public sentiment in this country. AS soon as Charlton
was arrested at Hoboken the pretense was made of a diplomatic
comulica ton with Italy that would make it inadvisable to surrender
the murderer to Italian justice. 1t then became evident that family
and official influences at Washington had set out to protect CharE
ton, even to the extent of giving him his freedom. The realization
of that fact stirred mems minds to indignation. When the Crippen
wifeslaughter in London was made known the feeling in the
United States against the contemplated release of Charlton was
intensified. Was the American government, in the face of two
brutal wifemurdersi In Europe by Americans, to give to the civilized
world such an exhibition as that of protecting one of the murderers
from Justice? If so, Americans travelling in Europe might well
conceal their nationality.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In regard to accidents, calamities and
many other unpleasant events that oc-
cur daily in the lives of men and
women, there is much mystery sur
rounding many, while in many we can
see how the law of cause and effect
is manifested.
Many people today are suffering dis
ease as a result of carelessness, not at
tending to the needs of their bodies
properly by eating good food, drinking
pure drinks, by proper clothing and
living right in every particular.

A PLEA OF INSANITY.

oTra HE defense in the case of Gallagher, the murderous assailant
of Mayor Gaynor, will be insanity. He can have no other
defense, as he was apprehended in the act, and makes no
denial of guilt. Gallagher does not possess the means to hire
aienists to testify to his insanity, but there are lawyers ready to
take his case and secure alienist evidence for the sake of the pro
fessionaI prominence they would get. An acquhtal of Gallagher
secured by a lawyer would be a capital advertisement for the
lawyer. 1t may well be observed that if the plea Of insanity is
tenable in Porter Charton's case it cannot be denied in Gallaghers
case.
