the door of the house in which his
rooms were.
The narrow passageway, in which a
light usually burned day and night, was
in darkness.
"Oh no." said Angel. stepping back
into the street, "oh, indeed MOI"
During their walk Jimmy had had q
suspicion that they had been followed
The suspicion was confirmed when
Angel whistled, and two men crossed
the road and Joined them.
Lend me your lamp, Johnson" said
Angel, and taking the bright little cleo
trio lamp in his hand, he entered the
passage, followed by the others. They
reached the foot of the stairs then
Angel reached back his hand without a
word, and one of the two men placed
therein stick. Cautiously the party
advanced up the stairway that led to
Angels room.
Somebody has been here" said An
gel. and pointed to patch of mud on
the carpet. The door was ajar, and
Jimmy sent 1t open with kick, then
Angel put his arm cautiously into the
room and turned on the light, and the
party waited in darkness for a move

There was no sign and they entered

to see that the place had been visited
Half-opened drawers, their contents
thrown on the floor, and all the evil
dence Of hurried search met their
eyes.
They passed from the little sitting
room to the bedroom, and here again
the visitors had left traces Of their in
vestigations.
"Hullo!, Jimmy stopped and picked
up soft felt hat. He looked inside;
the dull lining bore the name of an
Egyptian halter.
"Connor's!" he said.

Then something in the mans attitude
arrested his speech. He slipped for

THE QUESTION OF PRICES.

tt T is rather late in the campaign for the campaign managers OF
II the ~oG guard" in this State 10 fabficate figures 10 make II
appear that the talk about high prices is maheiousy untrue,
and That. in fact. in respect to prices the people are really better
off now than they ever were before. No sefrespecdng. newspaper
holds such a preposterOus argument. Sc the campaign managers
are obliged TO advertise il and pay space rates. Now, the question
of prices has been a burning one with the pub1c since I'll fayne-
Aldrich tariff was enacted. and while attempts have been made to
defend the tariff there was no defense of high prices further than
the claim that the tariff did not cause them. The Republican cam
paign in this State has consistently avoided prices, and even the
tariff. and has been run on windy assurances of fulfilling promises
made. and never kept. when Governor Fort was a candidate three
wears ago. The question of prices is now at last met because the
election is only a week off and there is less opportunity to expose
the falsitv of the figures. A question that goes straight home TO
every household in New Jersey would not be studiously ignored
III the campainn until near its close without good reason. If the
Republican speakers had a logical leg TO stand upon on that ques-
tion they would have made it the chief feature of their campaign.
And they didn't. They ran away from it, They have talked about
everything else. And high prices will be the greatest factor in
Republican defeat on next Tuesday.

c~essors, should another attempt be
made, could profit, so that the earlier
mistakes would not be repeated.
The fact that thousands of people
gravitated toward the "Four Corners"
last night, under the impression hat a
parade had been organized, shows that
they are ripe and ready for it. Before
next October 81 rolls around plans
should be perfected under competent
management to give the people a show.
The Americans are too prone to work
too hard and holidays are few and far

Expense Due to G. o. p. omciaIs.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
My recollection of the hat strike Gre
garding Orange) is that Mayor Sey-
mour did not call on the sheriff to take
charge and maintain law and order, but
that the hat manufacturers did otter
an experience that convinced them that
it was useless to depend upon the chief
of police of Orange or the police Judge
to do their duty.
This resulted / the manufacturers
jumping out of the frying pan into the
fire." Register Perry, at a political
meeting in Orange, asked several ques-
tons, which nave been published, and
requested answers from Mayor Sey-
mour 1t seems to me the asking of
these questions by Perry is i~ll-advised
and not good politics and will prove to
be a "~roorback." 1t is we'll known in
Orange that the administration of the
police department during the strike,
under its chief "a Republican, was
regarded as many reputable citizens as
disgraceful, and the same opinion was
general in regard to the administration
of the Police Court by its judge "a

Railroad Men Favor Wilson.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t is interesting to note the attitude
Of the thousands of railroad men in the
coming election. Unlike the delegates
of several of the locals of the Es-
sex Trades Council, the represen-
tatives of the railroad unions
have sounded the candidates OF
both parties and the questions they put
to the Democratic nominee we're an
swered to their satisfaction, while the
Republican, or Grand Old Party, can
didates declined to consider the ques-
tions, but referred the union represent
alive to County Chairman Alfred N.
Dalrymple, and the big leader fell into
the trap. He declared that the ques-
tons would have to be considered in
executive session and that they were
not important, etc. Congressman r.
Wayne Parker put another nail in his
coffin when he fatty opposed the policy
of several of the important questions
put to him.
On the other hand, Congressional
Candidates Walter I. Mccoy and Ed
ward w. Townsend cheerfully went on
record as favoring the questions. Guess
this does not make the few delegates of
the E. T. look foolish.
The railroad representatives laud
Woodrow Wilson and roast Vivian M.
Lewis. A very good sign. Yours,

Anent the Arlington Bridg,

Anent the Arlington Bridge.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Many thanks would be due an able
Arlington correspondent for his views
on the bridge question, which he ex-
presses in a Sunday paper, had he only
cut politics out and left the Demo
cratic nominee for freebooter in Kear-
ny alone.
John w. Roche has faithfully and
honestly represented the people of
Kearny, and l doubt very much il
his stand for a bridge at Halstead
street was prompted for personal gain
of any kind. 1t is true Mr..
Roche resides on the corner.
and conducts his business de-
Gently, but why should such a CEN
trail location be condemned simply be-
cause there happens to be a saloon on
the corner, a very necessary requisite
at times, particularly where traffic is
concerned. and human lives in danger
at times from exposure.
Our correspondent is indeed very
narrow in his views, and lacks the
broadness of American principles. If
he mas a complaint to make or a
grievance TO register why doesn't he do
it like a mar and come out openly and
state his views like Commissioner
Newell, who fights in the open and is
not afraid TO fight the peoples battles
when he knows he is right. Mr.. Newell
used no cloak or background Of any
kind; it was immaterial to him what
party you belonged to or what friend
ship you protested; his fight was for
the people he promised to represent,
and which he has done honestly and
faithfully. F. H. c.

MUNICIPAL CONTROL OF PROPERTY TAXES.

TT 7 will be the duty of the next gubernatorial administration TO
u separate municipal finances from State finances, to do away
with the system of mixing up the two, which makes it appear
that the municipality gets donations of money for it's schools from
the State treasury. What the municipality really gets is only a part
of the. taxes on property that belongs to it's own ratables, while
the State appropriates the balance for State uses. State Comp
troller Vests big balance consists of this diverted tax revenue be
longing to the municipalities. The scheme of railroad taxation
contriyed for this State is all wrong. In their financial affairs the
municipalities should be entirely apart from the State, which has
no more, right to assess property separately in municipalities than
it has to appoint their managers or boards. The State is not an
almoner for the municipalities, but the system in vogue makes it
appear so. 1t is simply a leech on the municipalities. 1t takes
away revenue from them and gives none. Mayor Haussling has
always been an ardent advocate of municipal home rule, and he
will lend his efforts during his third administration to a divorce of
municipal finances from State control, so that all taxes can be
assessed and collected locally and the municipality receive all that
is due without State interference and State pilfering.

WOODROW WILSON AND LABOR.

A SERVANT OF THE COUNTY COMMITTEE.

MAJ II. GNICHTELS first allegiance is to the county committee
NWll that picked him out for the nomination. The county com
mttee itself is, however, only a gobetween, the agent OF
interests that do not appear in public. The question of a mayoralty
candidate was discussed and settled before the county committee
took it mp. 1t was discussed and settled in private conference by
representatives of public utility corporations. a man was wanted
who could pose for small economies and let the larger ones be at
tended to by these interests, a man who wouldn't have too much
nose for their objects. a man who would not be critical of the
doings of the Board of Works, a man who would sign a 3 per cent
ordinance as readily and unquestionngly as the last Republican
mayor. Mr.. Gnichtel filled the bill, and the county committee
nominated him. Mr.. Gnichtels first allegiance, if elected, will be
to the county committee. The authority will be at county com.
mittee headquarters. His appointments and acts will be dictated
there. but the real mayoralty authority will be behind the COM
mittee and will not even have party responsibility.

NEWARK'S HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION.

ea HERE was a spectacular and orderly Halloween celebration
in Mcrristown. The store windows were decorated, the
Mayor formally crowned the king and queen of the carnival
and there was a street pageant, participated in by all the local
civic organizations in costume, with floats and other features.
There is civic spirit in the Morristown municipality. Last night
there was confused revery in Newarks principal streets, without
any order and with little enough of the picturesque to please the
eye. And yet it would be so easy a task to organize a fine pageant
in Newark and make Halloween a pleasurable event for everybody.
