THE COST OF THE OCEAN BOULEVARD.

cTa HERE is a mixup of conflicting county and local interests IN
the ocean boulevard project. 1t is the desire OF al the South
Jersey counties through which the boulevard is to run 10
saddle the cost upon the State treasury. As these counties con
tribute directly and indirectly a small fraction of the States
revenues, at least nnetenths of the expense would be paid out OF
revenue obtained by the State treasury from property interests IN
Northern and Central New Jersey. All the benefits of the ocean
boulevard will be monopohzed by Ocean, Cape May and Atlantic
counties. The Atlantic Board of Freeholders refused to build a.
bridge jointly with Cape May county across the Great Egg harbor
a a part of the boulevard. The estimated cost is $450O00. The
county wants the State to build the bridge. Hence the Boulevard
Commission sketched an inland route, which avoids Atlantic City
and Great Egg harbor. But a boulevard thus run is not an ocean
road. and it cuts out important seaside resorts below Port Re
public. Before the boulevard project is much further advanced the
Legislature should provide for a definite and final estimate of the
cost and give the coast counties to clearly understand that they
must assume a full share of the cost of construction before the
State will appropriate another dollar.

A SUNDAY CRISIS IN SPAIN.

@ PAIN has emerged, not without scars, from serious internal
troubles in the recent past, and probably the present crisis
in Spanish politics will be safely passed after a period Of
great disorder and, perhaps, violence. The government will have
a situation to grappe with tomorrow at San Sebastian, the famous
summer resort, where demonstrations against and for the policy of
the government in its dealings with the Vatican have been ar
ranged for. An emotional and excitable people like the Spaniards
are likely to indulge in excuses on such an occasion. Large
popular gatherings harangued by men who are irresponsible for
the words they utter and are usually extremists are to be depre-
Gated in any country in a public crisis. Hot blood is a bad solvent
for state problems.

To the Editor OF the Evening star;
Just a few wordsiiin regardste DR.
Dill and the asylum. The public ought
to be rather tired of hearing SO much
talk about the asylum and DR.. Dill.
Now, there is only one way out of it,
and that is for the f~reeholders to dis
charge DIR. Dill and let him u the
count and get the pay for his full
term. 1t would be better for the public
in the end. OF course, we know that
DIR. Dill has a few friends left yet, but
I think the public ought to have a few
friends in office yet who are not afraid
to come out and do the right thing for
a change and do as they promised to
do when elected to office. We did not
elect men to defend DR.. Dill or any
other doctor. We put them there to
work for the public's good! Are they
doing 1t?
Now, let the f~reeholders get together
and appoint a doctor who can handle
himself n the position; not a man
who only wants to do favors for a lew,
but for the good Of the patients and
the county. r. A.. n.

action at once, but remember the
laws against taking human life are
very strict.
Your capacity for salt water may
be greater than your netghbor's; but
while consuming it, remember that
pastime may be overdone.
Diving is an interesting accom-
plishment for a swimmer to aquire,
but swimming is highly essential for
a diver.
While sailing a boat it is not con-
sidered good form to oppose the
boom as it swings around, with the
head. Rather gracefully make way
for 1t.
When seeking to swim out to a
certain point. keep in mind the fact
that the return journey will be
much longer.
Don't act as though you thought
the ocean wouldn't be there the next
day; come out before you seem to
begin to mortify.

FASHIONS IN DENIAL.

The principal object to be accom-
plished in denying an interview. an
imputation or bribery charge is to
make it good and strong.
A quick. indignant comeback
which sounds. as though it we're
full of cuss words. but isn't is the
most effective form of retort. When
welded by-a president it is cry eff
fective.
While such a reply as the story
is without the shadow of founda-
ton" is digniied and all that, it
doesn't bite and bark and force any
one to conviction.

BALLLNdER MDORsED By us FRIENDs.

HASHINGTON is Balinger's State, and Balingers friends
WY have complete control of the Republican party organiza
I: ton. 1t is, therefore, not at all singular that the State
convention assembled at Tacoma by Balinger and his personal
partisans should have given an unqualified Endorsement of Taft
and Balinger. A packed jury could not have done better in that
respect. But this coupling the name of Taft with the name of
Ballinger and giving them equal applause must be somewhat EN-.
barrassing at Beverly. Mr.. Taft has good reasons of policy now
to get away from Balinger, and would be glad to get his resigna-
ton. He can take little enough joy in the resolutions Of the Wash
ington State Republican convention.

GRAND LURIES AND PUBLIC GRAFT.

HETHER the Mercer county grand jury would indict in
wv cases like those of school district graft may be doubted,
Il if the accused officials should happen to be of the same
political complexion as the grand jury majority. L will be re-
membered that when the Hahn investigating committee at Trenton
uncovered and exposed much graft in State departments and com
missions the Mercer grand jury was supine, and likewise the
prosecutor. In a number of previous scandals of the kind the grand
jury failed to act. The finger of scorn cannot, therefore, well be
pointed in Mercer county at a grand jury in Hudson county. And,
in point of fact, Hudson grand juries have performed their doty
With much more fidelity than have grand iures in Mercer.

should Eat Different Food.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Sir-Why is it that SO many persons
persist, during these hot summer days,
when their vitality lis at its lowest ebb,
in falling to heed the warning which
nature sends them regarding the care
of their personal health? Why is it
that they cannot learn the few plain
facts that even their instinct should
teach them? How many there are Who,
with the temperature at 80 degrees or
more, eat the most heating and in
digestible foods, adding to their bodily
discomfort and keeping themselves in
a state approximating extreme illness
during the whole extent of the warm
weather. They do not feel well and
they know the cause-or they should
know 1t. A few days use OF ordinary
common sense, in the matter of diet,
will convince anyone that rich foods,
meat and highly seasoned viands of
all kinds, LII not for the summer.
Plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits
either raw or cooked-light cereals and
nuts furnish an ideal summer diet.
Those who have experimental with
this diet have invariably been convert
| ed from their old habits of filling their
bodies with a lot. of useless food and
have gained health and strength from
the change. FOOD CRANK.
Law Rope Too Weak, web Too stronS.,
To the Editor of the Evening Star: +.
Can anyone be blamed for not re-
specting OF not observing he laws Of
the nation, State or city. when the laws
which they are to respect are harm
| full?
Take the Overlook asylum case. The
f%reeholders would gladly GUST DIR. Dill.
but they cannot do so legally, not
even after the presentment of the
grand jury. A further demonstration
of the incapability Of DIR. Dill to man
age the asylum is impossible; he has
been proven incapable in every way
yet he remains the head of the insti-
tuition.
In spite OF the fact that the grand
jury has found proof Of immortality,
neglect in taking care of patients and
wrongs, the law, made to benefit the
majority, is the very thing that shields
the lei who ought to be prosecuted
as criminals.
Is there no way out of the dilemma?
What are our laws for, anyway? 1t
seems just now that they were made
especially for lawyers to coin money.
There is such a thing as too much
law and too little justice. We, the
voters of the nation. ought to see that
only those men who represent the peo-
pie, not special interests, should be
elected, and when that is done there
will be no Overlook scandals, no
political-pull Dills. THALES.

Is 1t or Is 1t not significant that Jake
L.. Hamon. whom Senator Gore accuses
Of offering the bride of SIS, 900, Is as
emphatic in his denials as is the Vice.
President? It is unfortunate for Mr..
Hamon. at least. that the man making
the charges has a nationwide reputa-
ton for integrity and probity. 1t is
perhaps rather unfortunate for others
involved in the scandal that Mr.. Hamon
saw fit to deny the charges in toto.
Had he been content to say Senator
Gore must have been mistaken about
that part of it; what l said was, etc"
the case against the Others might have
seemed less grave. But who can blame
a man for being unwilling to make a
sacrifice hit of this kind?

the second largest city of the United

page from domestic history in the Dark

nation with which this tale Of cruelty
was received testihes to the great adj
vance the world has made in humans
tarianism. There was a time, even
when knighthood was in flower, when
it would have beer unnoticed.
If the warnings of the regular weekly
holiday tragedies on the water have not
come home to everyone who expects to
spend some of his time before work is
resumed on Monday on bay, river or
ocean, they should at least remember
that it is true concerning aquatic sports
the price of safety. And when the
safety of a boating party is considered
il is those members who cannot swim
whom the others should keep in mind
when disposed to take chances. The
saddest feature of most of the holiday
accidents is that they might nave been
avoided.
Fashionable Brooklyn Heights is pro-
foundly stirred by the knowledge that

one. Mr.. Johnson's hard-earned fame,
his large contributions to the nations
celebration of its most recent birth
day, and his reputation for neighbor-
illness and good humor apparently are
not taken into account in Brooklyn

being said at his expense.
The idea of dropping from the pay

thought of sooner. Was it necessary
for scandal to pile on scandal, and for
the public to become aroused to a really
formidable extent before the mental
processes of the gentlemen Of the COM
mittee were sufficiently quickened to
evolve this scheme?

Great chance Cor Democrat.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Not in years has there been such a
splendid opportunity for Democratic
victories in the city, county. state and
nation. Defeat for the party which has
been intrenched 80 long at Washington
that 1t grew daring, is in the air. Tho
Republican party is split right in two--
yes. 1t Is split into 'smithereens." In
former years the Democracy could be
counted on to .blunder. but Democracy
will win now no matter what blunder-
ing 1t does. In this State the oppor-
tunity to elect a man like Woodrow
Wilson is one that will appeal to all. /
don't think it any exaggeration to say
that he will get 80 per cent. of the Re-
publican and 90 per cent. of the inde-
pendent vote Of the State. The yes OF
the nation will soon be focused on the
gubernatorial fight here. Let New Jer-
sey welcome the attention she is about
to receive by electing a man like Wood
row Wilson. A REAL DEMOCRAT.

JEFF NELCHES
after ORDERING
A BIG FEED
BILL OF $50 RENDERED. FOR
TROUBLE, BUT ONLY $50
is PAID.

The shrinking of the proportions
OF a post-pugilistic celebration on
the part of the late James J. JEFF
fries, from the dignity of a $1,000
wine bust to a $25 short order.
was the last evidence of the down
fall of the once mighty one and
thereto hangs a tale of additional
resentment against the fighter
which crowns the appropriately he
achieved on July 4.
Caterer Thomas OF Reno is not
only mourning the loss occasioned
bE preparatins for the feast that
was to consume $1,000 in wines
and edibles. but is smarting with
Indignation because the big fighter
after cancelling and reducing his
order at the last moment paid him
but SIS to compensate for his
food and loss after he had rendered
a bill for twice that amount.
Details of Jeffries last perform
ance in Reno came last night and
show the big rellow in poor
light 1t is stated that several
days before the fight Jeffries,
through an agent made arrange
ments for a grand banquet and
celebration at the Thomas on the
night of July 4, after the fight.
He figured that the celebration
would not only be for the Fourth,
but to signalize his victory. Ca
terer Thoms was directed to lay in
a special stock of wines of stan
dard vintage with everything from
soda to hook and to provide in ad-
dition all the accessories of a me-
tropolitan banquet.
A colored maid was demanded to
look after the feminine guests;
walters were requisitioned; flowers
ordered, salads prepared and on the
night of the fight each particular
pSSOidSt was COOlSu W Juob Iut
right temperature.
Jeffries failed to come. Time
went by and the training camp at
Moana was called on the wire. Here
Thomas was told that Jeffries was
ashamed to come down town. The
salads and flowers were ordered
sent out, but the wines were left
on the ice.
Thomas sent out the salads and
accessories and they were consumed.
On the following night Jeffries ap-
peared at the Thomas and with
apologizing for the trouble and can
celled order, asked for the bill. The
restaurant man desired to be mag
unanimous and only taxed him $50.
A roar went up, however, and $25
was all that the poor man would
pay.
Thomas now has choice col
lection of wines in his cellar which
stand a good chance of acquiring
cobwebs before JEFF comes back
