SUNDAY IN THE HOUSE.
Tribut: to Memory Of Late Rep. Davis
of Louisiana.

Washington, March 20.-In great con-
trast to the riotous scenes of yesterday
was the solemn aspect which the House
of Represe took on today when
it assembled to pay tribute to one of its
late members. Robert C. Davis of Louis
lana. Only one member. Rep. Townsend
of Michigan, made reference to the excit-
ing incidents of the last few days on the
floor when he said in introducing his re-
marks: II am much impressed with the
difference of the scenes now and those of
few days ago..
Rep. Broussard of Louisiana occupied
The chair during the session, except while
delivering his eulogy OF his late colleague.

THE WELCOME TO THE PRESIDENT

eA HE city of Newark, in gala attire, welcomes the President of
IL the United States upon his visit as the guest of the Newark
Board of Trade. In point of fact, the citvhas taken the place
oil the board having a superior right, and will be the host of the
nations chief executive. The arrangements for the reception of the
President have been admirably carried out, and in such good time
that the decorations for the event served Yesterday to embelish the
celebration of a much greater man, the Father of His Country. Mr..
Taft will get a cordial popular reception. In his progress from the
house of former Governor Murphy to the Board of Trade banquet he
will pass through brilliantly illuminated streets, crowded with patri
otto decorations and filled with people, all in a welcoming mood.
There will be no political partisanship in the crowds, for all will
recognize the fact that the man thus honoPed is the elect of the
people, their chosen ruler for four years, the representative of the
majesty of the republic. A city likes to be on its best behavior in
the presence of an official of such exalted rank, but except for the
little dressing up Newark has done in anticipation Mr.. Taft will
see our city in its usual aspects, an orderly, busy and hustling Amer
lean community, ever full of life and activity, prosperous in its en-
terprise and possessed of a rare civic spirit. Mr.. Blaine, after one
experience in Newark. expressed great appreciation of its general
character. He made the history of one of its great industries a
striking point in addresses he afterward delivered in his presidential
campaign. Mr.. Taft would be as well impressed if he had the time

Trolley Ventilation.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
We will soon arrive at the season of
the year when it is a little too coo
for open cars and a little too warm for
the closed variety. With the approach
of this between season it may not be
out of place to suggest that steps be
taken to regulate the ventilation of
our cars and gradually get away from
the evil of foul air that is forced upon
every passenger just now.
All winter we have been forced to.
ride in cars that are kept almost her.
metically sealed. Overcrowded cars,
with windows and doors tightly closed
and filled with an air that at times be-
comes almost a stencil, have been our
portion, and have furnished, one of the
most fruitful sources of disease that
could be conceived. If the present con-
%struction of the trolley cars does not
permit of proper ventilation it is about
time that adequate mean were adopted
to remedy the existing conditions. AS

MONMOUTH PROSECUTORS OPPORTUNITY.

tIa HE Monmouth prosecutor can also distinguish himself by in
stituting an investigation of the cold storage of fish in his
county. He need not be deferred by any fear of threats to
remove the cold storage places out of the county, as the fish trust,
which controls these plants, cannot very well take the fisheries and
the fish away from the coast. The conditions that prevail in the
cold storage of fish are believed to be much worse than those that
have been revealed in the cold storage of meats. 1t has been testi-
fed in the government inquiry at Washington that all fish that is
placed in cold storage is smothered and not killed, and that the
smotheled fish Immediately develops harmful bacteria. The stored
fish is frequently kept for long periods. The market prices are fixed
by the trust in New York, and retail dealers are obliged to conform
TO the trust schedule on pain of having their supplies cut off. The
great wrong to this State is the monopoizahon of the New Jersey
fisheries by the trust and the heavy tribute it exacts from the New
Jersey consumer for New Jersey fish too often delivered in a half
decayed condition from long storage.

No water on penr.y Cars.

To The Editor of the Evening Star:
Evidently the Pennsylvania railroad
figures that it's big list OF commuters
never get thirsty. At least one would
think SO after chasing all the way
through a train of six or seven cars
trying to find a water cooler that had
water in it.
Not one car in twenty that is used in
the suburban traffic has proper care
AIKEN of its water cooler. When the
unexpected does happen and a cooler
is found with water In, 1t is a safe bet
that the man who filled it got tired
after the water had been put in and
did not TAXI the trouble to put in any
ice. COMMUTER.

RAW MILITIA IN THE STRIKE RIOT

c1a HE police blunder in Philadelphia of arrcsting the chief officers
of the strikers union was followed up yesterday by sending
a small battalion of militia to the crowded mill district in
kensington. The enlisted force are mostly boys and the officers are
greenhorns, The battalion was strung along the street, and it
wasn't long before the miitiamen were individually swallowed up
by Il crowd of ten thousand men and boys. The incapable fool who
Twas in command did not know enough of military tactics to mass
This men in strong attachments, and evidently the command had
never been exercised in street riots. An equal number of regulars
would have cleared the street without trouble. But what utter folly
it was to send a few raw miltiamen into such a cauldron of trouble!
The bad effect of this idiohc move will not be felt in Philadelphia
alone. 1t will have taught rioters elsewhere that the militia can
be surrounded and disarmed and there will be less awe of the State
military arm, with resultant deplorable consequences.

BENEFITS OF CONFERENCES BY MAYORS.

6TTa HERE is not much prospect of any conclusive agreement by
the mayors of New Jersey for municipal home rule. The
opinions of the mayors on certain subjects are as widely
al variance as are the sentiments of the communities they repre-
sent. But the State conference of mayors will, nevertheless, have
good results Tor the future. 1t means progress when a conference
of this kind can be held and when essential points in difference
can be discussed. The large cities want genuine home rule. They
do not want to be tied to the apron strings of a legislature that
has no understanding of their actual needs, and they refuse to be
sized up with small and wholly different towns and subjected to
the same regulations as to their conduct. In course of time a legis
lature will convene at Trenton to relieve the municipalities from
legislative interference in their local affairs and TO permit them
TO have the kind of government they want, within reason.

it was annoying when she failed to

NINE SENATORS NOT PUBLICLY PLEDGED.

UAOURTEEN members of the State Senate who will hold over
IL in 1911 and vote for a United States senator are publicly
unpledged. Nine of them are Republicans. Nine senators
are enough to decide the caucus nomination. 1t is possible that
some or all of the nine Republican senators are privately pledged,
and were SO pledged when they secured their election. If so, to
whom are they pledged? Now. if under the primary law candi
dates for the Senate and Assembly this year shall be required by
the voters to announce their preferences for United States senator
and pledge their votes. in the Legislature for the senatorial candi
dates they name, will no effort be made to extract public pledges
from the sitting nine senators? What will the popular choice of
senator amount to if nine members of the Legislature represent
ing one party are either free TO vote as they please for senator or
ssc bound by private pledges which the party voters know nothing
shout?

Staten IsIana Water supply,


To the Editor of the Evening Star;
As a reader of the STAR. l would
like to KNOW if 1t can't give some ac-
count of the efforts of the Staten Island
people to have New Jersey loan them
some water. From relatives now liv-
ing on Staten Island l have learned
that there is considerable agitation over
there on account of the attitude of New
Jersey. Those who really think that
Staten Island needs water from Now
Jersey say that the need would extend
over a period of only fifty years at the
most. They say that Staten Island is
geographically a part of New Jersey.
and should receive Jersey water.
Is there not some other way for Civ
ing Staten Island water other than via
the '"water-snake?'
