hear reports on the progress that is
being made for securing the interna-
tional typographical convention for San
Francisco in 1911.
The retail clerks of Bakersfield are
being organized with every prospect
of building strong union that shall
include every clerk in the city. For
a time there appeared to be a lack
of interest in the matter, but of late
few words from the international
president, NJ E. LIGHT of this city, has
awakened those who were lethargic.
The building trades council has de-
MED the application of the tent and
awning makers of this city for a char
ter as an individual union. 1t in
structed the housesmiths' and architec-
tural workers union TO admit appli-
cants as members of that organiza ton.
The st. Paul typographical union has
declared in favor of James NJ. Lynch
for president of the international union,
and its delegates will vote for him at
the next convention. They will sup
port John W. Hayes for secretary
treasurer and George 4. Tracy of this
city for vice president.
The San Francisco labor council has
been asked TO clear debt of $4,000
on the cooperative meat company by
the purchase of % cent certificates,
not bearing interest, but redeemable in
FIVE years or sooner.
The proprietor of the Puritan dining
rooms, which has been under boy
colt by the walters union, sent COM
munication to the labor council an
nouncing his willingness to settle the
difference between himself and the
union by arbitration. The matter has
been referred to the joint board of the
culinary trades
In answer to request from the
proprietors Of white laundries in Los
Angeles the anti Japanese laundry
league of this city will send an or
ganizer to form a branch in that city.
The local league is advised that there
are so Japanese laundries in Los Ange-
les The request for assistance from the
local league was prompted in a great
measure by the action of the Los An
geles chamber of commerce in seeking
to secure a modification of the present
immigration laws so as to allow Chi
nese laborers to enter the United
States

WHEN BUG APPEARS
Officials of Kansas Can invoke
Law to Oppose Ravage of
Corn Pest

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 19.-An old
statute of Kansas which empowered
county officials with authority to call
out all men. women and children from
II to So years OF age to fight noxious
insects may be invoked this summer
when the chintz bug. the great de-
stroyer of growing corn, makes its ap-
pearance in Kansas
The law. known as the warning out
law, was passed in 1877. soon after the
grasshopper raids. While it's direct
aim was TO provide a means by which
ravages of these devastatOrs of crops
could be stopped, it is not limited In
its scope and can be made to apply to
the raids of any insects in Kansas
Only those people living in incOr-
porated cities are exempt from the pro-
visions of the law.

Anneni from Humane society.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The Humane Society of New Jersey
from, Tuesday morning to Saturday at
10 o'clock noon, gathered 24s stray ana
homeless dogs from the streets ana de-
stroyed them. and the present week
bids fair to exceed this number. Work.
ing under a new regime and an IN
creased appropriation the work mas
been greatly facilitated.
In common with most humane or
ganizations, the Humane Society OIL
New Jersey is making a special appeai
to the owners of household pets that
thew make definite arrangements for
the care and keep Of these animals
while they are away on their summer
vacation. Perhaps few really humane
personsarealize how many are crimi-
nally careless in this matter. The ques-
ton Is an ethical one from two stand
points-duty to the animals and to the
public.
No one has a right to own a cat or
dog unless he is willing to see that 1t
is kept from starvation and Is proper
ly sheltered, and he has no right TO
turn it loose upon his %neighbors. 1t is
denying the golden rule in a double
sense, and. moreover. no one Obvious
to his own obligations Is ever willing
to return the favor and take care OF
his neighbours cat or dog.
We ask the clergymen of u city
to join with us in urging this duty upon
their neighbors. 1t is a bad thing to
say, but truth compels the statement
that Christian people, or those profess
ing to be SO, are among those culpable
in this matter. Let those who nave
been guilty of this neglect ask them
selves how they would feel to be left

Defends the Railroads.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Everyone seems to be protesting
against the action of the railroads in
raising their rates. AS yet the Newark
people and papers have not put In d
good word for the railroads. There
must be some reason for the raising
of the rates or else the able-minded
men who control them would not do it.
They can't all be crooks, as the people
seem to think they are.
Everyone complains If the railroads
are slow in putting up new stations,
fixing the roadbed. strengthening u
curve and making numerous. other i'm
provements. They never stop to think
that such things cost money and if they
are to be done some one must pay for
them. When the road raises its rates
a cent or two in order to obtain the
money for improvements, there is a
howl. Now, why not put on a cheerful
smile and see If some good can't bs
found in the increased rates?

Wants Newark Advertised

TO the Editor of the Evening Star:
Becoming more and more noticeable
as the days go on is the choosing of
newark by many national societies for
the holding of their conventions. As q
manufacturing city Newark ranks
among the ten largest in the country
ana this fact, wen though in the opin-
ION OF many the city is poorly adver-
tised' is gradually reaching the utter
most portions OF the country.
1t does seem to many with whom 7
V talked the matter over that Now
arks Board of Trade might do more
effective advertising. In Rochester
N. T., the Board of Trade has a ten or
twelVe-page supplement in one of
the papers in the State, once or
twice a year, extolling the city and
proving its benefits to manufacturers as
a site for their factories.
Surely, this would be the least that
Newark could do to let the world know
that nowhere IN the United States is
there a city in which there is so clever
a combination of residential sections
and sites for manufacturing plants.

The new marriage license law in
New Jersey goes into effect July 1,

For periods ranging from weeks
to years couples have been planning
to be married In June, 1910. Their
hopes and fears were not compli-
Gated by thought of the necessity
of a license.
Thus, had the New Jersey mar
rage license law become effective
June 1, 1t would have been prac-
tically retroactive and contrary to
the Missouri Compromise and the
bred Scott Decision.

OUR FACILITIES o. BATTLESHP BUILDING.

o1 HE building of two of the largest battleships in the world by
American shipbuilders for the Argentine Republic IS Oh more
than passing interest. 1t shows the wonderful progress that
has been made in batueship building by the United States since III
DAYS of Secretary Whitney, when our government had to buy plans
abroad for the first of the American battleships that were con
sructed. The present great shipyards were then in their infancy,
and the splendid plant at Camden, where one OF the Argentine SHIPS
will he built and which also is to turn out one of the 26,O00ton
battleships ordered by Congress, was not in existence. While our
Jaw has grown. our facilities for building warships have grown,
too. a matter of even greater Importance, and they are still growing
like our navy. In the opinion of one of the greatest of English ship
hn;,ders visiting the United States the work done on the Florida at
the Rrooklyn hayward could not be equaed in British govern
ment shipyards. And that judgment will not be challenged.

CLOSING THE DOOR FOR EVIDENCE OF GUILT.

y n n q President Tafts recent public addresses he dwelt upon
the ethics of the legal profession and said that too many
LAWYERS grossly violated the ethical code by employing all their
efforts to protect crime and criminals against justice, d1sregardhng
+ba fact that as LAWYERS thew were officers of the court. The appli
cation by counsel for the Wardlaw women, now in the county jail In
Newark, accused of the murder of Ocey W. Snead, for a Federal
court Injunction to restrain the prosecution from using certain
p.+er;a1 evidence Of the crime is a case in point. The ground for
this singular application is the allegation that such evidence mas
been obtained by illegal search and seizure. That is to say, II neces-
sarv and conclusive evidence of guilt shall be obtained In an If
reoular way against a murderer the evidence cannot be used in the
prosecution, and the murderer may go free. The Wardlaw women
are either innocent or guilty of the heinous crime with which they
are charged. If they are innocent every scrap of evidence will tend
70 clear them. If they are guilty every scrap of evidence should be
forthcoming, however obtained. 1t looks i'll for an accused person
when the attempt is made to shut the doors OF evidence ana, as
President Taft has said, the act is no credit to the lawyer.

The overbrook Scandal.


To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Let me add my voice to the general
protest. that has arisen against the
management of the Hospital for the
Insane at Overlook by the Board of
F~reeholders. / have visited that insti-
tuition many times on business, and l
know that, while much has been told,
the story Is far from its finish. I
know, too, that there are employees.
there who could tell much more II
they dared. For obvious reasons they
don't dare.
The idea that has been advanced re-
from the Board of Freeholders and
| place 1t In the hands of a commission
is a good one. But, and there is
! usually a but" when certain interests
are attacked, there will be a hard fight
by the freeholders and their political
adherents to retain the patronage and
what goes with it, 1t may not
amount to much in the eyes of the
general public, but, at the same time,
there is patronage, and it must be kept
warm.
There have been altogether too many
scandals connected with the institu-
ton that houses so much misery and
is the refuge of the most unfortunate
OF our fellow beings. The matter of
"ministering to the mind diseased" is
too important to be tri1ed with. 1t
calls for our deepest sympathy and
active cooperation with those who
would earnestly try to reduce the sum
total of misery to a minimum.

and there will bea baseball field and oval for the men and tennis and
