RETALAToRY LEGISLATION PRACTICABLE.

XIV EW JERSEY has been enormously generous to railroad enter.
I'M prise. From it's inception, when it was weak, up to 1906,
when it was strong, railroad enterprise was granted immense
exemptions from taxation, and the sum total of this subsidy exceeds
a hundred millions of dollars. The State practically made a free gift
of the Hudson river water front, the value of which is inestimable.
1t protected railroad interests in various ways in it's laws. In one
respect alone, accidents at railroad grade crossings, the State law
has favored the railroads to the extent of many millions in the dam
ages which the railroads would otherwise have had to pay. 1t gave
the railroads signal advantages over municipalities. All this i'm
plies al obligation to the State to treat its inhabitants fairly and
iustlv The fact that the roads in the State are no longer owned in
the State, but belong to and are controlled by foreign corporations,
does not impair that obligation. The concerted increase of fares is
unfair. unjust and oppressive. 1t is a hardship to many thousands
of people and a great injury to the State and it's municipalities. In
dignant public sentiment is aroused and is becoming organized. The
appeal is made to the State for redress. The question arises, has
the State the power to act? But there can be no question as to the
mower of the State to retaliate. There are ways and means in legis-
iation to make it Improbable for the railroads to carry out their
increased fare program.

An aviator is to fly over Newark
from New York to Philadelphia,
Saturday, If his plans mature. His
sky skiff is to be of the biplane
type.
A great many residents of this
city have never seen an aeroplane
in action. They are hereby re-
quested to control themselves when
the breeze boat heaves in sight.
When the Inhabitants of a burg
begin to run around in circles and
do ground or lofty tumbling under
a passing breeze boat the sky pilot
always sets the place down as a
jay town. e
1t might be just as we'll to state
in passing that all towns, including
Paris, France, and New York, N.
Y, over which a~eroplanes have
flown are characterized as jay
towns by the lofty and supercilious
,aviators.
We can put Newark into an Al
class by herself and enjoy ourselves
just as much by assuming a bored
expression as the plane passes
over. A number of polite yawns
in the face of the flyer, quickly re-
pressed, will lend a lot of tone to
the towns attitude.

Men and Churches.

To the Editor of the Evening. Star:
Even the rain of last night failed to
fill the pews of the churches with men.
Men were standing about every public
place where shelter could be found. but
seemed to avoid the churches. Why
does the preacher not apply business
methods to his work, study why those
he wishes to reach avoid his churcn
and make some attempt to reach them?
The preacher of today seems to a c
virility in his preaching. If he attempts
anything in the way of a verbal battle
he does 1t with the spirit, information
and methods gathered and generated
at a pink tea party. John L.. Sullivan
does not fear a a of popularity, as
he says that every man loves a
fighter" but on that basis how many
preachers qualify for the love Of men?
Even the rain is preferable to the eff

wy ANY of Newarks citizens do not realize the fact that there
lVll is a large unoccupied area of land within the c1tys cor
porate limits that is yet to be built upon for residences.
The development of Clinton Hill and Forest Hill into beautiful resi-
DENTAL sections shows what has been done and what is yet to be
done. Private enterprise is working this transformation. TO the
New York family coming into the State to locate, sections OF our
civ like these are more attractive than the purely suburban, for
here they have police and fire protection, good schools, quick trans
portation, good markets, fine stores and the best OF aqueduct water.
When Belleville and other adjoining smaller towns are annexed to
Newark a greatly increased area for the building OF mooei esi
dences will be afforded, and will soon fill up with the best class
<uf population. Public enterprise should keep pace with this growth.
Every genuine public Improvement made serves to attract good
population and promotes the building up of residential sections. A
glance back for twenty years in Newark's history will show how
the city has grown and fattened on its public enterprise-its paved
streets, it's water supply, its schools and other things that the city
has paid for and which have SO richly repaid the city.

quent talker delivers himself of a bunch
of platitudes that soon become tire

Every man is willing to listen to a
man with a message; every man wants
to learn; religion is as interesting as
politics. but were the political talker

women to attend meetings. If a sales

would starve to death.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Please accept my sincere thanks and
gratitude for the part hat you have
taken on my behalf and in the inter-
est of justice in exposing this cowardly
political ring, who. for the last two

being done in this matter of mine,
which is of vital Importance to me and
to the fair name of the State of New
Jersey. JAMES M. ALLGOR.

DAYATTAcKs THE AUTOMOBILE.

~ HANCELLOR DAY, of Syracuse University, has been singu-
" larly quiet of late. The public has missed his objurgations
of the government oppressors of chose sanity men" the
Standard Oil magnates. He doesn't return to that subject in his
baccalaureate sermon yesterday, but turns upon the automobile,
which he characterizes as "a curse to the pubR" The chancellor,
with that long range of assertion peculiar to some clergymen,
declares that mechanics, clerks and business men are mortgaging
their homes to purchase automobiles" There is always folly in
the world and it assumes all kinds of shapes. 1t is possible that here
and there can be found a man reckless enough in his pleasures to
mortgage his home for an automobile, but if the motor car did not
exist this fool would be mortgaging his home for something else.
To assert that this folly is general is to say what is absurdly untrue.

A SAFE AND SANE FOURTH.

NV OTHING has been done to provide an acceptable change In
Inn the observance of the Fourth in Newark, and, as the ami.
versary is so near, nothing can be done now on any com
prehensive scale. There will be less use of firearms and large e.
plosives. but otherwise the celebration will be much the same as
formerly. The small boy will be in evidence everywhere, there will
be the usual continued noises, the doctors will have cases to attend
to and the fire department will be kept on the qui vive. You can't
abolish the Fourth of July observance by proclamation. The people
won't have it. The only way the noisy fireworks can be eliminated
is by providing a suitable substitute. 1t is hoped that next year
about this time preparations for a "safe and sane" celebration will
be well under way. @A

UDGE FRANCIS CHILD, of the Passaic Valley Sewerage com
mission, broadly suggests one great reason for the STUBBORN
opposition by certain persons in New York to the building OF
a trunk sewer in the Passaic valley. This opposition was 10 0 e *
planned only on the assumption that these men were interested IN
septic tank patents. 1t will be recalled that when commissions
were investigating the question of Passaic sewerage various parties
came forward with propositions for establishing plants for iocal
disposal by patent processes. Agents of companies organized IN
New York brought every influence to bear upon the commissioners.
After these fellows were driven from the field the septic tank man
appeared to apply for the job Of installing a big plant o the
meadows. and the effort has been made to force the present commits
zion to adopt that expensive process, and it has failed. The trunk
sewer project has encountered and finally triumphed over water
company opposition, stupid prejudice and commercial greed; ana
the sewer is going to be built.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
What are the railroads trying to do,

Of these railroads raise rates? Statistics
will prove that low fares encourage
travel and pay in the long run.
What sort of a business, for instance,

nickel, even If the surface roads fol-
lowed suit? l am not a Socialist, but
