no one has had occasion to talk to

The Grand Old Man Of Mexico has
a system all his own which assures
his continued occupancy of Office
with the least possible friction.
AS Don as the opposing candidate
announced himself he was promptly
arrested and thrown into prison.
General Diaz discovered long ago
that nothing was so d~iscouraging
for a young and ambitious aspirant
for his position as a cool. damp cell
and a bread and water diet.
A candidate can hardly be expect
ed to make much of a run for Office
when he is handicapped by a ball
and chain and bars on the doors

old fox that he is, knows this well.
Evidently President Diaz has
many more terms of office ahead of
him. as his methods are very effec-
tive.

THE FOURTH OF JULY VACATION.

An advantage ofthe holiday for an outing will have an interval
of two or three days for the purpose, and many will take
advantage Of n. There will be an exodus from the town, beginning
Friday afternoon, and the seaside and other resorts will be well
crowded for the three days. The value of this short vacation for
thousands of people is inestimable. 1t is wonderful how much the
energies can be restored by a single days outing judiciousy used
The change, the pure air and exercise and mental diversion act as
toncs. Two or three days release from the round of employment
and the confinement of the town is enough to give the worker a
renewal of strength to carry through the rest of the summer. 1t
isn't necessary to idle a whole summer away for a vacation. Our
fathers and grandfathers didn't do It, and they didn't lack energy

TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE 2s. 1910.


6a HE commuter vote has always been subject to the reproach
that it was largely polled regardless of State issues and State
interest, because the voter, having his business occupation in
New York. was more interested in New York politics than in those
OF the State of his residence. AT no previous time was the lesson so
sharply brought home to this voter that there is a vital connection
hetween his vote in New Jersey and his personal welfare than now.
He is made to realize that the men he helped to send to the Legsa-
tue actually sold him out;' that they are responsible for the plight
be is in in respect to a 20 per cent. increase in the cost OF his daily
TRANSPORTATION to and fro and the travelling done by the members
Of his family. Experience leads to wisdom. The average commuter
is an intelligent man. He knows today what hit him, and the knowl
edge should give him a new interest in New Jersey public affairs
and a very critical interest in the kind of men he will vote for in
the future to send to the Legislature.

INDICATIONS AT SYCAMORE HILL.

O. ENATOR LA FOLLETTES visit to Sycamore Hill, following
the Inequalities extended to former Secretary Garfield and
Clifford Pinchot, indicates at least that Roosevelt has no hard
feelings against the men who have given so much trouble to the
aniable and compliant President and his advisers at Washington.
La Toilette is the bette noire of the administration. His relentless
wsCfare on administration policies was the inspiration of the in
surgency that nearly destroyed control of the Senate by Aldrich.
Garfield and Pinchot brought about the revelations in the Balinger
investigation that SO seriously compromised the White House.
Roosevelts first political visitors are these troublesome men, whom
the administration had blacklfsted. But Roosevelt is to meet the
President. That will be another story, perhaps. There is a world
Of interest concentrated on Sycamore Hill to see how the political
cat will jump there.

Second Baseman John Evers, OF

which was sent to President Lynch,

NEWARK,S GRAMMAR CLIO GRADUATION.

6o HIS is commencement week for the grammar schools of New
ark and hundreds of bright boys and girls will be graduated,
some to end their school studies and to take up the practical
Duties of life and others to enter the High School, We are apt to
think of these children collectively and not as individuals. They
have undergone the same discipline and training, been subject to the
same Influences in school, and therefore ought to be patterned alike.
In point of fact, there are no two children among the great school
population of our city that are alike, and therein lies the great
responsibility of the teacher. 1t would be impossible in any general
system of public education to individualize the child. But to a
certain extent this is done by capable teachers, who study the char
actets of pupils. 1t is enough, however, to equip the child as well
as public education can afford for the battle of life, and the hun
dreds of children to be graduated this week have reason to bless the
providence of the State that has done so well for them.

TRUST PROSECUTION THAT AvAns NOTHING

IT 7 is well remarked by the Paterson Chronicle that govern
mental war against trusts and combinations "has now been
going on for five or six years and the Federal and State gov
ernments have as yet not achieved a single victory of sufficient i'm
portance even to set the monopolists guessing" 1t has all been
sound and fury, signifying nothing" The beef trust is undisturbed.
1t snaps its fingers at the Federal government and laughs at New
Jersey, which gave the trust it's charter. The Standard Oil Com
pany has not been shorn of any of it's powers. The trusts of the
country are more powerful than they were a year ago, for they
secured new privileges in the Payne Aldrich tariff. The sugar trust
was caught in practising frauds upon the government, and some of
its employees have been convicted and the trust voluntarily dis
gorged some of its plumber. But is the grip of this trust upon
consumers relaxed? Are its operations curtaned? What's the
good of Federal and State prosecutions that accomplish nothing?
How much better off are the people today than they were before
the prosecutions began? Can the people be blamed if they are
impelled to believe that under present conditions of State and
national government the trust is above the law7

mont is the installing of a large swim

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Now that Independence a is close
at hand. cannot something be really
done to even limit the danger to life
and limb from the ridiculous explosives
that are held to be a necessary part OF
the national celebration? :
1t rests with the dealers in explosives
to put a stop to the evil altogether.
Why should they not refrain from sell
ing them, and thus insure safety to the
public? The profits from the sale OF
those explosives are. l believe, not so
big as to entail any great sacrifice on
the part of the dealer, and even il it
were, the owner of a cigar store who
sells them might forego that profit for
one day in the year. Most Of those
dealers have children of their own, and

ment Of those hat were there. They
not only appreciated the music thor

to Sunday afternoon audiences, but at
the same time delighted in the general

It was the first concert of the season in

cerely hoped that it's successors will be
worthy of a like amount of praise.
Good music has a moral uplift that far
outweighs many a sermon that was
