Protest Against oustine of stands.

Protest Against Oustinc OF stands.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-As an old resident of
Newark / wish to protest against
the edict of removal issued by
Superintendent Shipnan, OF the
Board of Works, who with his as
sistants appears to be making a
fine job of 1t. While the plan for
identifying the city may be all
right in its way, it certainly seems
unnecessary to abolish stands
which are by no mean a nuisance,
and I base my protest on these
facts that news-stands in their ma
ture r public utilities and we
need them. The argument present.
ed by some elements of u popula-
ton, who continually complain that
the various stands are an eye
sore, is a valid argument. The larg-
est cities in the world, and some
that are far more prettier than
Newark will be in the next two
centuries to come, have them. In
Paris fiower-stands are permitted
to do business in public parks.
Last, but not least of all, l wish
to call Mr.. Shipman's attention to
the fact that the lean goes with
the fat in all honest, successful en-
terprises. Where there ID nothing
but fat something is wrong. No
stands means no bread to thou
sands; no bread means unneces-
sary suffering, sickness and death.
From these evils spring social I'M
rest and rancor which not even Mr..
Shipman should lightly encourage.
The poor have always been per-
mitted to make a living by the So
called nuisance" Probably my
honorable opponents who advocate
this edict of removal can tell me
why not now"

HOW ABOUT IT?

The success of the Wright broth
ers in securing an injunction clip

Are injunctions formed and nodded

treetops, would Mr.. Curtiss be
bound by the injunction?

A problem UnsoIvcd.

TO the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-The cry that people should
starve in order to outwit n
trusts recalls the Frenchman's
comment on life insurance: "a poor
game where IN has to die to win."
Brillat Savarin held that the vigor,
mental and physical. of a nation
depends upon what it eats; but,
still more grave, according to Glib
bon: 'Epidemical diseases are the
effect of scanty and unwholesome
food"

THE YEARS MORTALITY
ON THE RAILROADS

much reduced from what it formerly was. The fact is due to the
abolition of the grade crossings in congested centres Of population.
And as the existing grade crossings are done away with there will be
a corresponding decrease Of fatalities due to this cause. The report
for the year 1909 shows that by far the largest number of victims
was killed by locomotives. New Jersey is a great highway, and
in the course of a year thousands of men travel ON foot across the
State, and many follow the railroad routes as the most direct.
Hence the mortality. But in time we will have in this country
the system of Prussia, which forbids walking on railroad tracks
and Furnishes the ofense. Then there will be fewer killings.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 It looks as if Commander Peary may have to abandon his lecture tour be- cause of q lack of auditors. An Atlanta dispatch nays that only handful of per rons assembled in an auditorium with seating capacity of 5000 when the ex- plorer appeared to talk of his dash to the pole
 The unfortunate position which Com rnander Peary occupies is sufficient to awaken the sympathy of almost anyone who has sympathy for fellow-being who iz hunslaaa ed. But when the course of Commander Peary since his return from the Arctic regions is considered 1t is not surprising that his audiences are small and that the governor of Georgia and the mayor of Atlanta decline to become spon- surs for him by introducing him.
 It is probable that a majority of the people of this and other countries still believe Hthat Commander Peary reached the north pole. Certainly no one doubted him until recently. He began his career as celebrity by attacking a rival for the honors he claimed. and succeeded in nak- ing hrnseli decidedly unpopular before the oia1rrs of that rival were exploded. How much more willing the public might be to hear him today if he had adopted the relicy of being polite sitting tight and smsiaIng the verdict of the scientists sri6 Of the world with regard to Dr. Cook. Even hss attitude with regard to the production of his proofs might not have proven sufficient to alienate the public if it welS not that the explorers ill., rranneTea course prior to the downfall of Dr. Cook had raised up prejudice against him

If Commander Peary did reat,h the pole, after lifetime of hardsnips and lonsingss his present di- leIaina Is singula11y pathetic If he is the discgxeTer of the pole it is to be hoped that time will develop the truth As mat tsrs ssia1d, Commander Peary. snabbed hfae and there, and not championed with any enthusiasm anywhere, affords good flEstra1j0n of the folly of discourtesy and the danger of egotismr The lesson should be valuable to persons in private fife as well as to those who court suc- cess in wider fields.

MIR. PEARY's SPEED


 Representative Macon of Arkansas is "exceedlng skepticap' about Commander Peary eyer having reached the north pole. Mr. Macon wants to know how Peary made 2s miles day after leaving Bartlett for the final dash, when the party had made only nine miles a day up to that time. But MT Macon should know that the earth is an oblate spheroid--is sorter fiat at the top-and therefor the grade that Teary had to climb was not so steep when ile got nearer the pole And Peary's S speed of IA miles a day on his way back from tho pole to Bartlett's camp, against nipe miles before leaving Bartlett, may be explained just as easily by the physi- cal cireuBista tances. As Peary was coming down Eiil on the way back all he had to do was to sit on his sledge and coast Eut for tho bad condition of the roads owing to the extremely cold weather, he night have made 444 miles a day.

ROYAL LETTER WRITERS

From M. A. P.
 It is an interesting fact that most of the members of our royal family are enthusiastic letter-writers and seldom miss an opportunity of writing to their intimate friends. Of course, all letters of a purely business character or an answer to unknown correspondents are replied to by secretaries, but private epist1es are almost invariably answered by the exalted personages to whom they are addressed King Edward himself is particularly fond of writing, and many people treasure letters from him of g most interesting character-interestin that is to say, apart from the fact thai they were penned by monarch. In this matter of letter. writing His Majesty takes after the late Queen Victoria, whose volu minous correspondence was so eagerly read when it was published some timt ago.
