CITY CHARTER PROPOSITIONS.

6ITa HE Newark Charter Commission will be ready with it's amend
ed report before the Legislature adjourns next year. The
commission is in favor of some form of a commission gov
eminent for Newark. Whether the city or the Legislature is pre-
pared to adopt the experiment of municipal government by a com
mission is conjectural. But charter reform in some shape is com
ing for Newark. Jersey City, too, wants a new charter, and bills
will be introduced in the Legislature for that purpose. Two plans
are proposed, one for government by a mayor and four commits
sioners elected by the people, and the other for a government cen
traized in the mayor, doing away with the elective Street and
Water Board and giving the mayor the power to appoint a new
board. Newark and Jersey City arc the two frstclass cities in the
State. The Constitution provides that legislation must affect all
cities of the same class. Years ago efforts were made to have
drafted a charter that would fit both Newark and Jersey City.
After much discussion and disa greement the plan was abandoned.
There is no reason why Jersey City and Newark should not be
governed alike, and the charters that may be sanctioned by the
Legislature for submission to referendums can duplicate each
other. In both cities there is necessity for simplifcation of the
machinery of government. There should be more Capitalization of
authority. The municipal government is only a business concern.
Parties and politics are too much involved in it. There is too wide
a distribution of responsibility. With less local parGsanship, with
municipal government put on a business basis and, as far as pos
sible, divorced from politics, voters can vote upon State and ma
tonal questions with better judgment and with freedom from the
complications of local politics that are unnecessary and should be
avoided.

building Law Needs Revision.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Up to the present time the building
department has issued permits for
frame structures to be erected near
the heart of the city. This MAJ have
been harmless years ago, out Newark
has grown rapidly in the last few
years. Factories and large stores have
sprung up with surprising rapidity in
a short time, and the building of frame
houses near the mercantile and manu-
featuring centres of the city has be-
come dangerous. Frame houses are all
right for the suburbs, but they should
be confined to the outlying districts.
The building department has not exer-
cised great care or vigilance in safe
guarding the public by inspecting
buildings to see il they are properly
equipped with escapes. Negligence has
marked the work of the department;
the least 1t can now do is to see that
in the future only such buildings as
are thought safe will be constructed.
Newark is big. 1t is getting bigger,
and it is time that we woke up to that
fact. No frame house can be built In
Manhattan; no frame houses should
be built in the heart of Newark.

especially as understood by myself
after fifty years OF newspaper expert
ence. :
Is the feeling grown out of business
rivalry, so malignant in the policy" of
the Evening News SO absorbing that
it can smother the usual instincts of
common humanity to forget all per-
sonal feuds in the presence of a great
calamity?
If this be true, must we not conclude
that the persistently malignant way
this paper is attacking James Smith,
jr., the owner of the Newark STAR, to
prevent, if possible, his selection to sue
coed John Kean in the United States
Senate, even before the ex-senator has
announced himself as a candidate, Is

what L. the Reason.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
In the preparation for AN endeavor
to give it tho needed publicity to in
sure success, the great concert given
at the Kruger Auditorium last night
in aid of the fund for the victims Of
the fire of last Saturday tnaugurated
and brilliantly brought to a grand sue
cess for the purposes intended by the
STAR, and which gave the good citi-
zens who were fortunate enough to
find room in the auditorium last night
an opportunity of enjoying the artistic
program presented, with the incom-
parable rendering of the beautiful selec-
tions by Madame Schumann-Heink, as
we'll as in the pleasing way of sub
scrtbing to the relief fund, 1 have no.
ticed with some curiosity the careful
Ignoring of the concert by the Evening
News. l nave read it carefully to avoid
forming an unjust opinion and have
failed to find even a two-line item in
of the relief fund, that has awakened
the humane sentiment of not only this
city, but the entire country.
The unusual opportunity thus offered
its readers to enjoy the splendid work
of the artists who so promptly came to
the aid of the cause and the success of
this movement to increase this fund
would seem to me news in every
sense n understanding of the word,

And Again the North Pole.


To the Editor of the Evening Sta:
DIR. Frederick A. Cook, who was de-
nounced as a faker and a monumental
liar for claiming a ear ago that he
had discovered the North Pole, and
who disappeared. has been heard from,
it is announced. He is to return to
this country soon, and he has written
an article for a magazine in which he
admits that he may not have reached
the pole, and yet he might have done
so without knowing it. His brain, he
said, was so affected by his terrible ex-
periences in the Arctic regions that
he was not at all times rational.
l wrote to the Evening STAR at
the time DR.. Cook and Captain Robert
f. Peary claimed that they had each
reached the pole that l did not be-
lieve either had, and that no man ever
will, and that even If a man ever does
he will not know it, and I am more
convinced now that I was right.
The National photographed Society
Endorsed Peary's claim. Why? Because
it had backed him in his expedition,
and DIR. Cook ignored that society when
he made his daring effort to reach the
pole. Peary had only one ignorant man
with him when no made his claim. He
had turned back the intelligent men
Of his party. Why? Was 1t because
he had heard DR.. Cook had gone ahead
of him and might I've been success
full? DIR. Cook had only on Eskimo
with him.
1 will give some Of my reasons for
believing that no mar has ever
reached the North Pole; The late Col
onel william H. Glider. with whom
I worked several years on Newark
papers, made a trip on a sled over 3.60C
miles, from the Arctic region to Siberia,
with one Eskimo companion. where
he went with the Schwatka search ex-
petition. During that long ride he
saw only snow and Ice. After he re-
turned to this country he told me that
when he reached Siberia he was nearly
insane for several days because of his
6utlCl lie Oh hAo 6ACaN up OhO Az
white nan had ever made. He also
said the trip convinced him that NJ
man would ever reach the North Pol.
and live to tell of 1t. During many
years Of experience as a newspaper
man 1 talked with a score of men whc
were on expedition parties tina
searched for the pole. Every one SALE
that II any man ever got there h
would never live to tell of II.
DR.. Cook. like Colonel Glider, mad
his great trip with only one com
panion, and had only enough sleds ant
dogs to draw food. so he could trave
rapidly. That is another reason VIII!

EARLY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

n Tis already suggested that people should be forehanded this year
in their Christmas shopping. Christmas goods are now in the
stores in great variety and people who take advantage of the
early season to make their purchases have all the opportunity, free
from the crush of shoppers, to shop leisurely and make selections
from the pick of the stocks. There is, in fact, no reason for a
Christmas shopper to delay her purchases to a much later day.
There is every reason why she should anticipate the time when
the stores are crowded with shoppers. There is a humanitarian
reason which should appeal % every right minded person. The
exp .rience of clerks and salesgirls during the last two weeks
prior to Christmas is a severe tax upon their nervous systems, and
to many girls it is prostrating. That consideration should appeal
especially to women shoppers. Womens clubs have taken up this
subject in an academic way and appeals have been sent out to
women, but the crush of people in the Christmas bazars continues
lust the same. The appeals fall upon too many dull feminine ears.
We hope to see a more earnest movement by womens organizations
this year AMI a better response to them.

NV EWARKS example in making a contract with the Passaic
Am Valley Sewerage Commission should end the hesitation and
DELAYS that have characterized a number of other munich
palnies in the matter of entering into a contract. Newark cheer
fully takes upon itself one half the estimated expense of the pro-
posed sewer, leaving the balance to be divided up among more
than a score of its neighbors along the Passaic. The Passaic Val
ley Sewerage Commission is ready to proceed with the work and
is waiting only for the completion of the necessary contracts.
This work should be begun early next year and be prosecuted with
yigor TO a finish. There have been unconscionable delays, due to all
kinds of Instructions, but many formidable difficulties have been
overcome, and we may now in a few weeks see the beginning of the
great enterprise. Compared with its benefits, the cost of sewering
the Passaic valley might be said to be inconsiderable. The money
expended will be an investment of the highest value. The Passaic
valley will be benefited tenfold in value.

cTTa He magnificent concert in the Kruger Auditorium last nght

a week ago netted the sum of $3.50 for the renel luhu
Sympathy for the victims and their families inspired the greater
part of the attendance. but the merit of the program and especially
the magical name of Madam Schumann-H eink, the great contralto,
served to pack the auditorium with one of the largest audiences IN
its history. Every seat was sold, and the great audience certainly
cot the worth of its money. The proceeds of this remarkable and
brilliant concert. that had been hastily arranged for by THE STAR,
serve to increase THE STARS fund to near $4,000, a fact that
must give qualification to all people in our city who believe in
substantial tokens of sympathy in cases of misfortune and sorrow.
THE STAR relief fund has now been united to the city relief fund,
the total being approximately $4,000.

CHANGING BATTLEsHIp NAMES.

NV EW YORK and Texas are names to be given to the new
AM 27000ton batteships that are to be the first ships of the
American navy to be armed with 14inch guns. The armored
cruiser New York will have its name changed to Manhattan to
prevent a duplication of names. The old battleship Texas, now
obsolete, will also be renamed. In giving designation to our battle
ships as they were built the government selected first the names of
the most important States, without considering that with the
progress that was making in naval architecture larger and still
larger ships would be built. So it has happened that the smaller
ships of the navy bear the names of the principal States, while
the Dreadnoughts are named after the pocket borough States. A
remaining of ships was inevitable. a State like New York should
be properly represented in our naval nomenclature.
