Agricultural Study Popular At
Columbia.

The enrolment in the first term
of the short winter course in agri-
culture at Columbia is 500 per-
cent greater than was the enroll
ment year ago. In 1909 the en-
rollment in the first term was as
men. The enrolment in 1910 has
already reached ITO. This large
increase in the enrolment has
taxed the laboratories, class rooms
and other equipment to the ut
most. Students in live stock judi
ging and in veterinary science are
occupying temporarily a corner of
the machinery building. Students
in dairying are necessarily assign
ed two men to table.
The enrolment in the long
course has increased beyond any
previous year. More students are
now enrolled in agriculture at
Columbia than any other school
or college in the university, ex-
cepting only the college ofarts and
science. The total enrolment in
agriculture for the year will reach
more than 600. Seven states and
two foreign countries are repre-
sented in the short winter course
enrolment.
The second term begins January
3, 1911. 1t is certain that the en-
rollment in the second term of the
short course will be much larger
than in the first term. In that
case it will be impossible for the
college authorities to provide ac-

A Worlds Record Falls.

It's pretty late in the year for
base ball dope, but here's some
thing really remarkable worlds
record, in fact, with some to spare.
Bob Harmon, the Liberal young
man who pitches for the st. Louis
national leaguers, pitched a game
on Sunday, Nov. S, at Kansas City
for John Kings all-star team
against the Royal Giants, negro
team, the game being played to
decide the championship of Kan
sas City. Harmon. in the nine
innings, struck out IS of the negro
'slusgers, whose playing has beenthe
sensation of the year at Kansas
City. The previous strike.out re-
cord for innings is 20, established
by Jack Root of the lola. Kans.,
league team in 1904. Harmon did
not win his game against the ne
groes, however. The game was
called on account of darkness, in
the 9th, with the score I to I.
Each team got its one run on
errors.
1t is worthy of note that Root
also failed to win his game when
he established his record in 1904.
He was defeated by Sedalia, s to 4.

A. c. Burnett Bankrupt.

Hon. A. C. Burnett, who prac-
ticed law in Lamar for twenty
years, says the Lamar Democrat,
has filed a petition in bankruptcy
in the Federal court, at Joplin,
listing his property and his debts,
and asking for relief. About ten
thousand dollars in unsecured
claims are listed among the assets.
Mr.. Burnett's financial misfor-
tune came from indorsing the
notes of his law partner, Mr.. Crane,
who left the country and is now
believed to be in Mexico. Crane
had prepared book for publica-
ton, upon legal subjects. Mr..
Burnett backed him in getting it
published, and Crane, in the end
proved to be a scoundrel. There
is much sympathy for Mr.. Burnett
here at his old home.

Newark,s Tree savers.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In the Peoples Rostrum," as run by
the STAR, 1 have noticed that some
times people are allowed a kick and
again a boost. I'm a booster.
In the annals of the city government
of Newark there has never been a bet
ter administered city department than
that devoted to the care and better
ment of the city's shade trees. The
Newark Shade Tree Commission is
famed throughout the country as one
of the best ~tree-savers in existence, but
there are not so many citizens within
our own limits who know Of the value
and benefit of the service.
1 had occasion the other day to notice
in front of my house, on a beautiful
Norway maple there, a species of new
tree-destroyer. At the time 1 was
blissfully ignorant of the name of the
bug, but l telephoned the Shade Tree
Commission. In a day a young gentle
man called, inspected the tree and the
next day a spraying wagon drove up
and killed off the bugs quickly. The
name Of the insect / have since learned
is Tussock moth.
Newark can be boosted very strongly
for. Yours sincerely,
TREE-LovER.

Hospital Enlargement vital.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
I desire to call your attention to a
matter Of vital Importance to the city
at large, namely the condition Of the
City Hospital. This institution has for
a long time been o~vercrowded and has
turned away from its doors hundreds
who should have been taken in.
At the present time there is a small
frame building in Camden street, OPP
posite the main building, which is used
for a tuberculosis hospital. This build
ing is entirely inadequate to accommo-
date all the patients suffering from
the white plague, and as a consequence
consumptives are scattered all through
the main hospital.
The doctors, nurses and officials all
freely admit that a large percentage of
sick persons who apply for admittance
to the institution are refused on ac-
count Of lack of room.
Nearly 100 nurses are crowded into
a section which was originally intended
to accommodate only one-half the pres
emit number OF occupants. Most Of the
nurses rooms, which are very small.
contain two beds each. These rooms
were never intended to hold but one
bed each. The highest praise should
be given to the superintendent, and the
other employees of the City Hospital;
they are conducting the institution In a
most admirable manner, considering
the difficulties under which they are
laboring.
The whole responsibility rests with
the Common Council, which has the
power to appropriate money for the en-
largement OF the hospital. This con-
dition has been allowed to exist, no,
for days or months. but for years. OF
course, the conditions have been grow
ing worse because the city has been
growing larger and the demand fol
the accommodation of sick persons has
been steadily increasing with the in
crease of population. Additions should
have been made to the hospital from
time to time to meet the increased de-
mand for more room.
There is ample ground on either side

The People s Rostrum


NAL is sick and without a home humans
rush to it's aid; there are hospitals and
ambulances for them, and the greatest
care Is taken of them. A city that
takes care of it's sick dumb animals
should be ashamed to lift its head II It
allows one of its sick human inhabit~
ants to go uncared for.
Furthermore, most Of u Ills are
more or less contagious, and IL disease
is not promptly stamped out 1t spreads
and leaves its germs here and there to
do ten-fold the damage. 1t, therefore,
behooves the citizens as a matter of
protection to themselves, If for no other
purpose, to provide immediate and
proper care for all sick persons. It
seems to me that of all the charities in
this wide world, there is none SO inn
portant as the care of the sick who
have not the means to pay for private
treatment. Respectfully yours.

Element OF what is now Newark.
Long before the intrepid little band
from Connecticut made its way to

that the simple horde OF aborisines

contributed their bite to the entsz.

A CASE FOR SHARP DISCIPLINE.

oa he conduct of members of the Fifth Regiment when the
brigade went into camp on Saturday was so disgraceful to
the State Guard that there should be dismissals of officers
as well as of the dehnquents. The police authorities in Orange
testify to the conduct of men in that city when the Orange COM
panies were leaving for Sea Girt. The officers could not have been
unaware of the fact at that time that there were intoxicated men
in the ranks. They had plenty of opportunity to ascertain that
fact while the regiment was in transit for Sea Girt. When the
regiment disembarked there onlookers were scandalized by the
evident inebriety and breaches of discipline. But apparently the
officers were blind to all this. They said nothing and did nothing.
What a contrast to the conduct of the Second Brigade regiments
at Gettysburg, that extorted the admiring praise of the regular
officers. And no doubt if the Orange police commissioners had not
addressed a communication to Governor Fort on the subject Sat.
urdays disgrace upon the State Guard would have passed un-
noticed and unrebuked.

OF the hospital on which to build wings.
The Board of Health for a long time
has realized the conditions referred to
and has appealed to the Board Of AL
dermen. time and again to nave more
room created for patients and nurses.
During the past spring a very strong
appeal was made by the hospital
authorities and the Board of Health to
the Common Council for immediate re-
lief. 1t was stated then that every day
persons in all stages of sickness were
refused admittance, and this treatment
of worthy M deserving citizens was
repeatedly brought to the notice of the
committee, with the result that after
many meetings and long consideration
the building committee asked the
finance committee for an appropriation
of 500, 900 for a new nurses home and
for other improvements of the hospital
building. The idea was to provide the
nurses with a home. which would be
separated from the hospital, following
the system employed by hospitals in
New York and other large cities, the
contention being that If the nurses
after their work was done could spend
their hours of recreation and rest in a
building away from the hospital and
leave behind them the groans of pa
TENTS, the odor of disinfectants and
medicines and the generally oppressive
sick-laden atmosphere, they could rem
der far better service during their
hours of duty. If this Idea had been
carried out the room thus left va
cant by the removal Of the nurses
could be changed into wards. thereby
increasing the space for patients.
The 100000 appropriation asked for
was reduced to sis. 200. 1t is said that
with the sum of $15. 900 the committee
intends to purchase. some, lots in the
neighborhood of the hospital and ask
the Legislature next year or some year
in the dim and hazy future for legisla-
ton to permit the city to spend it's own
money to provide hospital treatment for
it's own sick citizens, who are. in most
cases, unable through poverty to pur-
chase necessary medical treatment for
themselves.

TWENTY THREE VOTING MACHINES 90 OUT.

IN TT, the voting machines in Plainfed we're discarded in the
special elections in that city yesterday. In Paterson twenty
one election districts voted and the aggregate vote was 905
against and 2S9 for the machines. Nineteen districts threw the
machines out, one district was a tie and one, by a singular freak,
gave eighteen majority for the machine. The vote was, as usual,
light. In a single special election a small vote might justly be
criticised as unrepresentative of the whole voting community, but
that criticism fails in presence of the fact that in a period of three
years about three hundred election districts have held separate cleo
tons and in all but five decisive majorities were polled against the
voting machines. There is no gainsaying the logic of this unanlmlty
of sentiment in New Jersey. If there was any considerable sent1-
ment in favor of retaining the voting machines it would bring out
a favorable vote. If Republican voters desired the machines Re
publican districts would vote in their favor, whereas in practically
all the Republican districts where elections have been held the
majorities were overwhelmingly against the machines. Is there
anything left for the sponsors and supporters of this abominable
device to say?

THE PASSING OF Mr.. BRYAN.

uANILLIAM j. BRYAN faced the crisis of his political life IN
WV the Nebraska Democratic convention last night, when ne
attempted to force a county option plank into the conven-
tion platform. and the result was the complete overthrow OF MS
leadership in the State. The convention cards had been stackeu
against him. Time was when Mr.. Bryans simple word or known
wish was sufficient to sway a State convention. 1t wasn't necessary
for him to make an appeal. Times change and men change with
them. Bryan is not what he was in 1896. His party is not what II
W at that time. The times have changed. Old issues are dead
and new issues have arisen. New leaders have come to the front.
The Nebraska Democratic convention turned down MI. organs
plank. The act of the convention was a Reputation OF III leader

But every politician has his day, and it was inevitable that Mr..

FORAKERLSM IN OHIO.

OO1D COMING and resounding cheers" in the Ohio Republican
LID State convention yesterday were given to ex-senator
Foraker, not long ago driven out of public life on ac.

Foraker cheers were the feature of the OCCASION and a
significant feature, too. If there is one man in American nolitics
who typifes all that is most Objectionable now to the American
people it is Foraker, even more than Aldrich. Since his defeat
for reelection to the Senate Foraker has been in obscurity and his
