every town that has no trolley service
and hence knows all about one.
One instance will suffice. During the
last two days, when chilling rains and
frigid winds have swept the country, at
least three of the longest lines running
out of Newark have stuck to the OPEN
car schedule, and have stalwartly rev
fused to be disconnected by the unrea-
sonahle pleas OF the public to have
closed cars put in operation.
This may be a trifing incident and
the criticism of the case may only come
from people who are nursing colds and
admiring the doctors new rig from.

beyond doubt what a well organized
system can do and that we have in this
country at least one corporation that.

it, despite the carping criticism OF

Ueciation of the glories of a perfect
system. APPRECIATION.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
It would rebound to the benefit of the
Public Service Railway Company. It's
patrons and the public generally if that
loop at Bank street could be dispensed
with and the cars be run in som other
way toward the -Four Corners" IT
would be good for the company If that
could be done because of the many
blocks that the cars are subjected to in
the narrow ~thoroughfare lined with
business houses that. use big trucks.
For the same reason the patrons would
be benefited by some other route. Then.
again. since the Prudential Company
has put up it's latest sky-scraper the
lower part of Bank street is a canon and
subject to all which that means, noise
and great discomfort in inclement
weather. The noise is, particularly an
noying to the workers in Chancery
chambers on the sixth floor of the old
Prudential building. It was bad nough

this new building acts as a big sounding
board. r. w. r

Sarcasm.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
With an emotion that lifts u local
pride to heights before unknown we
hear of the excellence of the trolley
service that our city is blessed with and
we chuckle gleefully to think what
great advantages we have yer other
cities in this branch of public utilities.
True, much of the praise that we hear
emanates from a we'll organized and
skilfully trained publicity bureau that
exercises the same spirit of modesty
and tempered praise that is usually
associated with a thirty-third degree
member of a mutual admiration society.
1t is in spite Of this, however. rather
than because of it, that we must put
aside untimely criticism and awake to
the really important details that bear
out all the claims that nave been made
for the local institution that guides the
destiny of our trolley service.
We must all admire the intelligence
that at times proves the perfect organ
ization and admirable working ability
that has done SO much to make our
local service the standard aspired to by

Thank. for comrade Taft.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
President Taft, in his Jackson, Mich,
speech, said that: Socialism is the ma
TONS greatest problem. BY it's his
tory" he declared, 9Th Republican
party had shown itself capable of deal
ing with the great questions effectively
and wisely" and he predicts that ''the
American people must soon determine
whether it shall trust the same party
with the solution of hat problem, than
which we have no greater in the his
tory of the country"
He deliberately threw the gage Of bat
tie into the political arena, for which
we Socialists shout with joy and thank
him most heartily.
How long, oh, how long, the Socialist
has wished. prayed, begged, hoped. for
this day, when the enemy would fight
out in open; when socialism would be
recognized as a political factor!
Thanks. Comrade Taft! C. A. M.

Complain. Agai..t Commuter..

Why is it regular commuters-those
who buy monthly. fifty-trip or any
other style of ticket that requires sig
natures and considerable other red
~tape--always wait until just the last
minute before train time before buy
ing It? 49,
Many irregular commuters who wish
to buy single tickets are forced daily
to miss trains, while some regular
holds up the entire line of ticket buy
ers in getting his fifty tripper or
monthly fixed up.
Why can't he buy his ticket at some
other time than during the rush hour,
when he comes home at night, for in
stance? But then, what's the use. Did

Peril In Ice Cream.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The State Board of Health is to be
commended for it's energetic action IN
looking after the manufacturers of ice
cream. as the season for its consump-
ton in enormous quantities is at hand.
The dainty is known to be dangerous
unless it's preparation is carefully looked
after by those who know how to make
it, and cleanliness, OF course, Is a
prime consideration.
While the health authorities are about
it, let them pay particular attention TO
the concoction 'masduerading as ice
cream and popularity known as hoky-
ipoky.' 1t is usually peddled from carts
too clean by men not too clean. The
very fact that it is peddled in the
streets makes it subject to the attrac-
ton of the germs that are liable to do
much mischief. Its low price is a suffi-
cient indication that it is anything but
ice cream ELMER.

a POSSIBLE THIRD PARTY.

II s there a new political party in embryo? There are strong lnolca-
stions fiat a movement will be developed this year of general
unrest and dissatisfaction. There was call at st. Paul on Satur-
day night for a new independent organization and an lnt1matlon
that Roosevelt might lead the movement. 1t would DE out u u
Rannblican Marty that such an organization would grow to attract
voters from both parties. 1t is possible that American politics, SO
long. ia struggle between two great organizations, will become tri-
angular. Back in 1860, when the country was aroused over sec
tional issues the Democratic party split into three parties, with
three Presidential candidates. Lincoln, Republican, was elected by
q pluraitv over Breckenridge, but was in a minority of about one
million votes. In 1892 the Peoples party polled over a million votes.
In no other presidential election did a third party poll as much as
one-half that figure. A third party, well organized and capably led,
might try conclusions with the two old parties in 1912. 1t might
carry the country.

THE GREAT FIGHT NOW ASSURED.

m LII opposition to the pulling off of the great black and white
NV fstic match at San Francisco seems to have petered out, and
the fight will take place. In a few days special trains for
San Francisco will start from scores of points in the East, and the
Pacific slope will see a gathering unique in its annals. A trip across
the continent and a ticket to witness the battle, with necessary ex-
penses. will cost too much for the average purse, SO the crowds that
will go will be a prosperous class, good, bad and indifferent ana
rheir coming will bring much wealth to San Francisco storekeepers
and saloons. But, after all, the millions who won't be present when
the two giants face each other in the arena will see the whole thing

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
From the many fights reported as
having taken place on trolley cars, in
which, If the conductor interferes, he is
generally badly beaten, it has been
suggested that the crews of cars which

Harrison, Turnpike and Paterson cars,

they may have the authority to make
arrests and have the Law on their side.

A peculiar accident the other day
should afford clean-shaven men an
argument in favor of the habit of
gillettipg.
A visitor from a tank town closed
the door In the room of a hotel in q
large city on his alfalfa crop. The
automatic lock shot into position
and as his key was on the table the
victim faced the alternate PROPOSE
lions of remaining a prisoner or
sacrificing his brush.
Time and again Uncle John fin
gered his barlow with the idea
of releasing himself by cutting the
spinach. In each instance, how
ever, a warm wave Of affection for
the rushes he had been cultivating
and nourishing for years swept ove
him and stayed his hand.
IA the end a chambermaid, at
tracted to the door by the end of
the mop which protruded, opened it
with her pass key and put a period
to the predicament.
1t often happens that a nan who
is a slave to a tradition of .preju-
dice is accidentally forced into some
SUCH false position and remains a
prisoner to the end OF his days.
Whether it be whiskers or whims,
once they have mastered a man by,
growing into his scheme of life, they
become sd entwined into his manner
of thinking that he prefers to hold
them even though they handicap

MlsREpREsEN7ANd NORTH JERSEY SENTIMENT

IT T is very silly for the Camden Courier to misrepresent to its
readers the situation in the North Jersey counties in reference
to the increase in fares by alleging that "te Democratic State
leaders, legislators and press, assisted by the New Idea following,
are pressing with all their might and main their demand upon the
governor to call an extra session of the Legislature" Twothirds
of the people who are most affected in their finances by the railroad
rate increase are Republicans. AS everybody in North Jersey knows,
and as common sense would show, there can be no craftsmanship in
a matter that concerns all alike, without any distinction. There is
no newspaper in North Jersey that has not aggressively taken up
the question of increased fares, and it would be hard to find a voter
north of the Raritan who is not in entire sympathy with the uprising
against the increase.
