Urre. Prohib,tinr Balloopine.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The tragic death Of Balloonist Benny
Prinz. at Interlaken, last Friday. adds
another victim to the sensational.
money-making, senseless practise of
b~allooning. AS a scientific experiment
balloon ascension is of no value. II
does not advance the science Of avia-
ton; It is OF no utility; why permit the
practise of this dangerous and alto
gether mercenary business? Balloons
were of interest to people several years
ago, but now that biplanes and dirigi-
hles are in tho field few persons are
entertained or amused by an old
fashioned balloon.
Out of the 10000 persons who at
tended the aviation meet on Friday,
only about 800 stayed to watch the bal
loon, and yet his boys life was sac
rifced Just because the owner of the
balloon made money by having the
young man go up into the air.
The Aero Club in an official bulletin
stated that there will be no more
double parachute drops on the Inter
laken field. It should also have issued
q statement that there viii be Ito
| ascension Of any sort. The game is
| too dangerous and uninteresting OF
uninstructive. It is a back number and
ought to be stopped.

To the Dditor of the Evening Star:
An editorial in the STAR coveY the
ground in the case of DR.. Dali and the
a crusade, not as against DR.. Dill, SO
much as to bring the matter to the
attention Of the public, with the
surety that once the people become
aroused the cure will be found.
The fact that SO many people are in
that asylum who should have the best
care and attention must excite the
sympathy of our people in their be-
half. Comparisons are odious, but I
cannot help the comparison. I know
that such affairs could not exist at
Morris Plains. which has a very much
larger number Of patients to care for.
It is to be hoped that there will be a
thorough sitting OF affairs at Over
brook. 1t Is immaterial whether DR..
Dill or anyone else is discharged. The
people VIII insist that reforms shall
Immediately be made in the manner
Of conducting affairs at that institu-
ton.
The publicity which has been given
to the lax way Of running the insti-
tuition and the cruelty that has been
inflicted upon helpless humanity, as
noted In your columns, will produce a
remedy. The press today is a power
full engine for good, and I thank the
STAR from the bottom of my heart
for the good it is doing along that
line. PRO PATRIA

If the example of the stage detective
in Alias Jimmy Valentine" who be-
came so interested in make-belleve
sleuthing that he has taken up the
profession of Hawkshaw in earnest, is
generally followed, what is likely to be
the result? Can anything but harm
come of a general move which would
precipitate a horde of professionally
trained Romeos on society? Is the pro-
verbal gloom of the drawing room n
the set function" to be enhanced by
comedians who must constantly fall
back on their own '1ines?" Are the
inhabitants Of the world below stairs
to be forced into competition with men
and maids who can that din
ner Is served or the carriage is with
out in a way to make everyone sit
up and take notice? And, finally. can
the reformed stage detectives who have
become regulars ever hope to cope with
the Vaccinations of the terribly wicked
Villains when his unsavory gentry
begins to practice its black art off the
boards?

1t is the contention OF a well

doesn't matter now anyhow-that
the comet is fresh Matched and IL
it meets with no accident 1t should

10 the Editor Of the Evening START
Why is it hat the "Pennsy," fore
most In every Improvement that tends
to speed. safety and comfort, persists
In burning soft coal on its engineSP
I remember years ago. when Newark
was younger than It Is today. that
there was such a loud complaint about
this nuisance from those living near
the line OF the railroads that It was
somewhat lessened. It Is still there
however, in a form that should stir
the usually ~wide-awake officials to ao-
ton. Soft coal smoke is nuisance
enough to citizens that live or have
business near the tracks.
1t Is more Of a nuisance to the com-
muter, who must either swallow the
smoke or shut isSwindow to the sum~
mer air. The "Pennsy," with it's lib
eral expenditure Of millions of dollars
In other directions. can surely add to
its fine general reputation by killing

THERE'S A REASON.

It is not necessary to assume that
the world Is coming to an end or
to jump to the conclusion that the
opening of 1911 will usher in the
millennium, simply because the
Standard OIL Company in Chicago
asked to have its assessment I'M
creased.
II the reasons for the move ever
come out they will be found to be
sound business reasons, untrimmed
or unembroidered by sentiment or
inspired by a rush OF civic right
eousness to the head.
Many persons may think the
Standard Oil official who asked that
the assessment be jumped Is crazy.
but If he is. his mental alteration Is
likely to be after the of the
foxes, which have the reputation OF
instilling a high percentage Of
method in their madness.

Two young women in Chicago are
said to have pro1ted nightly during
the great c~onclave of knights Templar
through an idea which was all their
own. They prepared chatty, interesting
stock letters OF doings at the meeting
for home consumption. A busy Knight
who expected a hard day, following a
crowded evening before, found to his
intense relief that a better letter to the
loved ones In the home town than he
himself could have written awaited his
signature and the opening line oEgreet-
ing. And at home the absence of per-
sonaHties and terms OF endearment
we're readily forgiven when one con-
sidered that the letters were dictated
to a stenographer. 1t was a splendid
idea and 1t successfully worked W.
ways, much to the financial welfare Of
the resourceful young women and the
peace Of mind of the knights.

There will hardly be time or occasion
to indulge in melancholy reflection over
the steady decline into which 1910 is
going, because OF the sprightly fact that
what will unquestionably be the most
interesting campaign of years Is i'm
minent. The issues this year. many Of
them, are identical with those of former
campaigns, out they are clear-cut and
we'll defined. as they have not been for
many moons. There seems to be a con-
~viction, not always expressed, but alive
Just the same. that the old order of
things Is to give way to a new one. and
that conviction has forced the high
priests of the old order of things into a
defensive attitude, which they cannot
by sporadically aggressive moves shake
off So while the year is dying there
will be something doing to keep US
from brooding over 1t.

In the great fire which Sunday night
destroyed the buildings OF the interna-
tional exposition in Brussels, priceless
art treasures are said to have been des-
troyed. 1t has always been a source Of
regret to many persons that the beauti-
full and graceful structures which have
housed the exhibits at our worlds fairs
were built to stand merely during the
lifetime OF the exposition. It may be
that this confiagration, which wiped out
art objects that ear never be replaced,
may be the cause of making the ex-
position buildings Of the future more
lasting and stable. It is difficult to
understand why the buildings at Brus-
sells were not built Of fre-proof ma
terial.
