Would Suppress Noises.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1 wish thai there was a society for the
suppression Of noises in this city, along
the lines Of that in New York, which
has met with such marked success in
the metropolis. If we cannot have any
such society, let US have an ordinance
that will v some noises not covered.
The particular noise that I refer to
just now is that made by the peram-
bulating pianette, usually worked by
some muscular. dark-featured animal
of the male persuasion, whose Drawn
might be better employed In some use
full work. They are not quite so bad
during business hours, when their noise
is mercifully drowned by other noises,
out I do object to the working OF such
an instrument during the peaceful hour
of 9 D. m. This is regularly done in the
Roseville section, a quiet, residential
part of the town, much to the detri-
ment of the sick and nervous. Start a
war that will end in the destruction Of
the night pianette.

Estate PRIDE" IN AN APPROPRIATION

Ta He estate pride" that expends 100000 on a park driveway
and lets the institutions for dependents and detectives take
their chances of getting enough to starve along may be
described as a dirty pride. The necessities of a State should come
first and the luxuries next. The joint appropriations committee
is now engaged in finding out the least possible amounts the State
institutions can exist upon. Appeals for money, backed by all the
evidence of necessity and urgency, have come from nearly all the
institutions. The hospitals for the insane are overcrowded; there
are three hundred defective children for whom the State has no
accommodations. The old soldiers and sailors at Vineland have
urgent needs. the State sanatorium at Glen Gardner is so limited
in its accommodations that only those with a political pull" can
find admittance; the Epileptic Village needs money, so does the over
crowded refornatOry at Railway, and the State Home for Girls is
crippled in its work for lack of means. The Senate has passed the.
Wakelee bill appropriating 100000, in annual instruments of
100000, to build a parkway on the Hudson. Senator Frelnghuysen
tells the Senate that State pride should be consulted. But not at
the expense of the unfortunate wards of the State and not by the
sacrifice of State philanthropy.

by several prominent men in the STAR,
and who would like to see the bride
paths an accomplished fact, would tele-
phone one or more of the park COM
m~issioners, drop them a post card, or
write to the commission itself, it would
be a spontaneous expression which they
could not overlook. If they need spur
ring to complete any plans they now
have under way, or any suggestions to
guide them in the future, these can
come only from the horsemen.
Unlike others the horsemen travel
in couples, singly or IN small groups
and there is no large body to bring
their views before the powers that be,
so If each n will appoint himself a
committee of one and let the commits
sion know what is wanted, and urge
haste, 1t will do much to get the bride
paths which are so badly needed. Let
the horsemen get together and let the
Park Commission know just what we
want. HORSEMAN.

eTa HE new public utilities law which the Governor signed yester-
day will be committed for its execution to a commission in
which the public thus far has reason to place confidence.
We believe the commission will go as far as the law allows in dis
charging the duties that will devolve upon the commission OF and
after July 4. Much has been said about the benefits of a public
utilities law to the public and very little about its benefits to the
public utility corporations. After the law has been in operation
long enough to prove its worth these corporations will discover that
it is a great advantage to them. as well as to the public. Through
the commission they can have improved relations with the public.
A great deal of the friction between the Public Service Corporation
and the public has arisen through misunderstanding and misappre-
tensions. and because there was no official medium by which the
two interests could be harmonized. We believe the law will work
so well under the administration of the transformed Railroad Com
mission that the corporations will not only be fully reconciled to it's
regulations, but viii be opposed to any suggestion for repeal.

Plea for OstcopathS.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The so-called %osteopathic bill, which
is now before the Senate committee,
should be defeated. The bill is being
urged ostensibly for the benefit of
osteopathy, but, In reality, it is a blow
aimed to destroy o%steopathy.
The bill provides that the medical
examining board shall say whether an
osteopathic physician is qualified to
practise. This is wrong, for, although
doctors Of medicine and osteopaths both
attend human wants. the osteopath uses
a different method in finding the cause
of the disease thar the M. D. Thus, a
medical examining board is not quail
fed to Judge ~osteopathy, for, besides
being ignorant of the subject, the doc
tors are prejudicsd against any society
that takes away their business.
All fair-minded people in New Jersey
should write at ICE to their Senator at

BY FARMER SMITH.

f<D I'D the arships fly at nght?' asked Ethel o. her father ne evening
Certainly" sd Ter father land it m about in this way:
1.-THE days were so hot that the Potato Bug children did not want
to fly when the sur was so no upon heir backs Even when the Butterflies
took them way u p in the clouds they seemed To- warm when they came back
to earth, and Sc they said to their father why can't w sail around in III
airships at night?
""That would never do said Mr.. Potato Bug, because o woud be for

THAT would be all right papa dear's said Faith. We could get Birehies
to 20 along with US and they would keep us ron humping into each other, be.

WHY SELL THIS CITY LAND ?

eN HE tract of land belonging to the city at Plane, William and
Arlington streets is situated in neighborhood where there
is no playground and no small park, a neighborhood, too,
alive with children. The tract is large enough for a playground.
Why should the city sell this property? Yesterday when it was put
up at auction no better price than $4,000 was offered. being $500
less than the upset price. If sold the property must be sacrificed.
And why should the city dispose at a sacrifice of land that is needed
for city purposes? Why deny to the children the boon of a play
ground when the ground is already there and it can be fitted up
for play purposes before July?

PHILADELPHIA LABOR GOES INTO POLITICS..

m N Independent political labor party, organized in Philadelphia
IN last night by a thousand delegates from the labor unions of
the city, has been prompted by the events of the car mems
strike, that is now peterng out. The inspiration for the movement
is local, and if the organization can effect any improvement in Phila-
delphia city government its existence will be we'll justified. 1t may
safely be asserted that at least 80 per cent of the delegates to the
convention last night have been supporters of the rotten political
regime that has made Philadelphia a standing reproach among Amer
lean cities A third party, organized on labor lines, might at least
depete the strength Of the McNicholsVar organization to an ex
tent to enable the reformers to get possession of the city govern
ment and drive out the corrpptiopsts.

ALLDS'.S SENATORIAL JUDGES.

IT I is we'll enough known that the senators who are the judges in
the Aids bribery case are one and all indisposed to give a
verdict against Aids AS one of the eXhorting attorneys in
the case said yesterday. the senatorial judges have been AEldss
"brothers.' Nor can it be believed that Aids has been the single
black sheep in the Senate. Men sit among his judges in the Senate
who have had confidential relations with Aids. In whatever way
the Senate shall decide, these latter will vote for acquittal. The
testimony in the investigation has been widely and critically read,
and the people of the State have very generally adopted their own
conclusions. which will in no wise be affected by the Senate verdict.
If that verdict shall be contrary to the general belief the Republican
party organization in New York will receive a vital wound. All the
startling evidence that is developing in the insurance corruption in
vestigation in New York cannot do as much damage.

OH. SEE.

When the other day, hot upon the
press dispatches, was borne the dis
quieting information that Mr.. Jack
johnson, heavyweight champion of
the world, was incarcerated and
might remain in Jail for months,
a great angry cry Of protest arose
from the Pacific slope, where Mr..
Johnson was to assist In making-the
Fourth of July, the nations birth
day, memorable.
A stranger on our shores might
gather from this circumstance that
Mr.. Johnson was immensely popu-
lar on the coast, but that does not
follow. The Western populaoe de-
manded simply that no obstacles be
put in Mr.. J%ohnson's way, since he
had signiied his intention OF sacrl-
ficfng himself to make a California
holiday.

ALL 7ARPED WITH THE SAME STICK.

IT I does not appear that there was a single honest man in the
Select and Common Councils of Pittsburg for several years.
From the president down the members were devoted to bride
taking and graft, and some of the cheapest kind. The business of
the councils has been Il matter of bargain and sale. Any private
interest with money in hand could buy a majority of the two
chambers or buy up the whole collection of local legislators. There
was no shame. Every member knew the other members were.
bought. The pity of it is that so many of these wretches should be
given immunity for the sake of getting their confessions, when all
should be railroaded to State prison. But what a name Pittsburg

Dustiest Spot in Newark.

Dusfiest Spot i'm Newark.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
DO you know where the busiest
spot in Newark is?" asked one man Of
his companion as they stood on the
steps of the Court House yesterday
afternoon. On receiving mo- for a
reply he continued: STAND right here
for two minutes n you will see."
And the other man did see, for there
is no question that Springfield ave-
nue., from Plane to High street, is
the busiest street in Newark. There
is always heavy traffic there and be-
side that the street cars are forced to
use a lot of SAND in making stops COM
ing down the hill, and that is blown
in every direction. 1t does not even
need a wind to carry the dust flying, as
the air currents caused by passing
street cars and automobiles do that.
