Gambling in stocks.

the Editor of the Evening Star:
With all earnestnesS l protest against
this unfair criticism of those who are
doing what the financial writer's and
others who own securities call "attack-
ing values" Let me ask why ii is any
more wicked for a man to sell stocks
which he thinks are above value than
it is for another man to buy stocks
which he thinks are selling under their
value?
did any one complain when ]. =. Nor
gan was engaged in manipulating United
States Steel up to 95? Certainly not.
And does any one suppose that he was
silly enough not to take big profits on
stocks bought in and after the 1907
panic? Again, of course not. And why
should he no turn bear and manipulate
the market downward?
Just be sensible about this thing.
Who had a better right than Morgan to
determine when it was time for him to
lay aside the mad bulls horns n to
take up the bears claws? Prices had
gone down and I want them to go lower
still. 1t will be money in my pocket.
Bad morals, this, you say. Oh, poppy
cock! Who gets hurt? Some other
stock gambler. He takes his chance at
the game and ! take mine. 1t is my

A SEWERAGE SYSTEM TO INCLUDE ALL.

DA Q paeate opposition to the Minard bill, which provides for the
inclusion of Jersey City and Bayonne in the Passaic sewer
age district, a substitute bill will probably be introduced in
the Legislature limiting the time during which the two municipal
Ties shall be enabled TO sewer direct into Newark bay. This measure
would leave them at liberty TO contract with the Passaic Valley
Sewerage Commission for connecting their local sewers with the
trunk sewer, or provide for local disposal. The object sought could
perhaps be just as well attained by the proposed substitute BILL
Newark bay is only an expanded part of the Passaic and Hacken-
sack rivers where they join their waters. Sewage poured into the
bay by Jersey City and Bayonne is carried back by the incoming
tide for miles, and helps to coat the shores of the bay with filth
Why, then, should the two municipalities be permitted to pour crude
sewage into the bay when all other municipalities are forbidden by
law to do so? Why should their crude sewage be carried out into
the New Jersey waters of New York bay while Newark is compelled
TO screen and clarity its sewage? Jersey City and Bayonne have no
superior rights because they are nearer New York bay than the
other Passaic valley municipalities. But a wise providence for the
future should impel the Hudson municipalities TO cooperate with
their valley neighbors in sewage disposal.

FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS AT ALBANY.

6ITa HE plot at Albany thickens. The name ofthe late Speaker
Samuel Frederick Nixon is now brought in. Nixon, it is
charged, received one of the $1,000 envelopes handed out
from the bridge companies corruption fund. Jean l.. Burnett, a mem
Der from Canandaigua, was the man to whom was handed $4,000.
He WAS to divide the amount with three other members of the
Black Horse Cavalry The names of these men are known. Out
OF the same corruption fund the chairman of the Republican State
committee got a large campaign contribution. After the fund was
dlsbursed the NIL that the bridge companies objected to was killed.
The statute of limitations forbids criminal prosecution in these
cases, and at least two of the tainted legislators are in their graves.
But IT is no. TO be supposed that New York's State capital has been
singular and alone in Legislative corruption. In comparison with the
capital OF pennsylvania New York's capital has been clean and pure.
The individual graft and plumber at Albany cannot compare with
the wholesale loot at Harrisburg, In Pennsylvania there is no
public sentiment of any account. In New York there is. A trihe
like a thousand dollar legislative bride would hardly attract atten-
ton In the State of William Penn. 1t has put in peril Republican
control in New York State. The disclosures at Albany bring out
New York's civic spirit and serve to show that the virtues that
may be lost in a State legislature are active and assertive in the
body polite.

Brond street tracks.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Dear ir-I saw a letter in your paper
a short time g criticising the Public
Service Company for the condition of
the car tracks on lower Broad street
from Clinton avenue to Thomas street,
and even farther on. 1 wish to say
that there has as yet been nothing
done by the company in this matter,
although the tracks are sadly out of
alignment, and the ears lurch danger
ously from side to side, and wobble
violently as they pass over this par
ticular section. The tracks are in such
bad shape in this respect as to be a
disgrace to any public service company.
No doubt in a. short time some car
will %overturn, and after the company
loses thereby several thousand dollars
in suits for damages it may wake up
and fix the tracks.

DEEPENING OF RIVER AND BAv

II 4 the river and harbor bill which has passed the House of Rep.
resentatives becomes a law the preliminary work of deepening
Newark bay and the Hackensack and Passaic to a sufficient
depth for large ocean steamers will be assured. The bill provides
for a survey of the bay and two rivers near their mouths for depths
varying from twenty TO twenty-five feet, with a shanower depth in
the Passaic from Newark to Paterson. A survey will also be made
for the proposed ship canal across the. Newark meadows. 1t is
probable, also, that the Senate will add an amendment for an APP.
preparation TO deepen the channel on the New Jersey side of New
York bay north of Shooters Island, to give better access from the
bay TO the Kill Won Kull. The Federal government is disposed to
pay the cost Of deepening the bay and river channels only in view
of enterprise on the part of the cities benefited in providing docks
and piers and other facilities for commerce. In the case of Jamaica
bay there is an understanding that New York shall expend ten
millions in these improvements, while the Federal government will
assume all the great expense of dredging out the bay to float the
deepest dranght vessels.

STATE AID IN THE WHITE PLAGUE CAMPAIGN.

HU OW much attention will be given by the Legislature to the
Jf1l report of the State tuberculosis Committee to the Gov
ernor remains to be seen. The committee finds that the
accommodations and facilities in this State for caring for tuber-
culosis cases are wholly inadequate. With nearly four thousand
eases of the disease in New Jersey, the hospitals and sanatoria can
accommodate less than 10 per cent. The State itself has provision
only for 121 cases at Glen Gardner. This large property can be
admirably used, as the report points out, by building shacks and
converting a farmhouse into a dwelling. The committee advises
an appropriation of S25000 for tuberculosis work in the State, a
small enough provision for Il work of such great importance.
County hospitals for tuberculosis cases should be mandatory, also
shaeks in which patients can live in some comfort and have the
benefit of fresh air. No county in the State is too poor to provide
in this way for those stricken with the white plague. There are
many demands upon legislation and the State treasury. This one
should take precedence of all.

10 the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-In answer to II. C. Green
ing, who writes you regarding the flag
on Eagle Rock, I wish to state that if
he thinks that the erection of the Stars
and Stripes at Eagle Rock would spoil
the beauty of that spot, hen by the
same token it would spoil the beauty
of such places as the capitol OF the ma
tion and State and also every place
at which it is displayed. In my estima-
ton, it is not so much the spot that
CRATES on his feelings as the flag.
If, as he states, he is not in favor Of
the project, then the best I can say to
him is pull in your horns as no man,
woman or child ives (who loves the
Star-Spangled Banner) that would not
subscribe to such a FUND as Mr.. Pierson
proposes.
I would say, in closing, that there are
cattle steamers leaving every day, and

LEGISLATIVE BILLS IN COVERT.

TT 7 is usually towards the close of a legislative session, when the
business becomes congested. that bills of doubtful character
that have strong lobby support are introduced. Six weeks of
the present session have elapsed. More than half of the life of the
Legislature has been spent. The doubtful bills are about due. If
the Legislature next week shall decide upon an early date for
adjournment they will promptly appear. Among the possibilities
is d vater-snake bill with some joker provisions in it intended to
disable the antidiversion law. Another bill looked for will have
for its object the cherished scheme of an immense reservoir at
Mountain View, with the primary purpose of legalizing the power
OF the east Jersey Water Company to take and sell Passaic water
and to provide the company with all the water it wants at a nominal
cost. But the watersnabe is not the only interest lying in covert
for a favorable opportunity.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Since when have the police been dele
gated to protect the property of rail-
road corporations? l was surprised the
other day on my way down Orange
street to see a fully uniformed mounted
cop in the freight yards of the Lacka-
wanna near Sheffield street, apparently
must interested in the railroad business,
as he was talking to two of the COM
pany's employees. I always had an
idea that the railroads were wealthy
enough, and I know that the Lacka-
wanna is, to hire it's own property pro-
tectors. Maybe I am mistaken.

TWO brothers, mere boys, the sons of
respectable parents at Atlantic City,
are under arrest in connection with the
death in the surf of a young girl, last
seen in the company of n of these
brothers. Flight is always interpreted
as confession of guilt. The boys fled
the city after the crime and were ap-
pretended in Virginia. Suspicion rests
only upon one brother. But flight
in this case does not necessarily imply
guilt of numbering the girl. If her
death was due to accident while secret
~ in h company of the accused youns
man, fear of the might
impel him to run away and hide him
self. The motives and impulses of the
human mind can never be accurately
gagged. And it is unnatural to believe.
that a young maj we'll brought up
would deliberately murder a girl with
out other motive than to get rid of her.
Roosevelt is to be asked to return to
the United States by way of San Fran
cisco. That would involve a trip
through the Suez Canal, a visit to the
Philippines. China and Japan, and a
stop at Hawaii, all of which would be
a picturesque prelude TO a journey
across the American continent, with
receptions, %banquets and other demon
strations at every stop on the way.
But by the time Roosevelt should reach
New York, his objective point, people
would become awearied of the adula-
ton. The trip across the continent
would use up their interest. The wise
public man who would cultivate hero
worship is not constantly on exhibition.
He knows when it is time to disap.
pear and when to appear. Roosevelt
is a slnrewd politician. He will sail
direct to New York.

Senator Lodge is the chairman of the
Senate committee to investigate the
increased cost of living. Senator Lodge
is perfectly satisfied the tariff has
nothing to do with it, even though the
importation of eggs did bring down
the cold-storage prices in New York
this week, so he will begin the investi-
cation with a pronounced bias. But
yet the tariff is only a co%ntributory
factor after all. Combination and
cold-storage are accountable for the
greatly increased cost of the neces-
saries of life.
