why Exclude Picture Films,

To the Editor or the Evening star:
In contradistinction to the action of
the local Board of Education is the at
titude taken by the Board of Education
in Minneapolis relative to the use of
moving-picture machines in the public
schools. Our school commissioners
seem to think that these machines
should be banished from the schools,
and, in fact, at their last meeting
voted to keep them out of the Newark
schools upon all occasions.
In Minneapolis the Board of Educa-
ton voted to use the machines in all
the schools n to include them in the
regular course of instruction, as a
means of better conveying the details
of certain lines of study. The idea is
an excellent one, and will doubtless be
followed In other cities.
It is a little remarkable, therefore,
that our local board should take the
stand 1t hoes and put a ban on these
machines when the possibilities offered
by their use are almost without limit.

SHALL LEGISLATIVE REcREAN7s BE ELECTED;

cts HE theory of government by party is that if the party in
power ofcnds the people it can be turned out of power and
replaced by the opposite party. That rule, if vigorously ap-
piled. would keep government clean and compel the enactment of
good laws. If the rule is disregarded by the people, if a party is
kept in power year after year, notwithstanding its ofenses, the
natural result is Improvement. And who, then, is to blame for
nisgovernment but the people? There never was in any State u
worse case of misgovernment than is now presented in the record
of Republican legislation for sixteen years, and especially for the
last three years. The people have supinely endured in the past
Viii they again disregard the fundamental rule of our system of
government and invite more betrayals of their trust? A great
wave of reform has swept over the country and the dry bones OF
misgovernment are shaking in every State. What will New Jersey
do? Shall the people elect another recreant legislature? Shall
Essex county again send eleven recreants to Trenton to enact the
ignoble part of it's delegation in the last three legislatures?

Why All This G.. o. p. Silencang.
TO the Bdftoe Of the Evening Str:
While it may verge upon impolite-
ness to become sarcastic when writing
about a dying cause, l cannot help max
ing just one pertinent reflection upon
the Republican campaign in this State
Have you noticed, Mr.. Editor, the
gradual suppression of Republican
speakers? It started early enough in
the campaign, and now toward Its
close that suppression is getting hot
enough to burn up the party platform.
And why should there not be sup
preston? It is an old saying that
speech is silver, but silence is golden,
in such a delicate position as the Re-
publican party does in this State, talks
much there is trouble. The more toll
the greater the trouble. Therefore

Following the suppression of the
doughty Major Lentz, who could

fold that would make the hor-
ror of Hamlet look like thirty

far as that is possible. The latest

EXPRESS COMPANIES IN THE LAMELIGHT.

@ NE good result will be accomplished by the strike disorder
w in Jersey City, Hoboken and Manhattan. 1t will have
riveted public attention upon the express companies and
their immensely profitable monopoly. The contrast between the
enormous dividends earned by the companies and the wages and
hours Of the companies employees is startling. While the stock
holders receive profits of from 30 to 100 per cent. annually on
their investments, the employees have been forced TO work four
teen, and even sixteen, hours a day for wages of between $6 and $11
per week. This is downright hoggishness. The express companies
with their monopoly victimize the business interests of the country
and refuse to give a orumb to the labor that does their work. At
a time when prices of necessaries are immensely Increased this labor
does not receive as much compensation as the pauper labor of
Europe.

A CAMPAIGN TO BLUSH FOR.

m IL the old "chestnuts" from former State campaigns, going
TN back some forty years, have reappeared in the present years

cations of the name of Abraham Lincoln, the party that fought

ization naturally looks backward and lives in the past. Indicted
and convicted of high crimes and misdemeanors, it tries to seek in
the past something TO smirch the record of its prosecutor. 1t re-
sorts to WORKOUT shibboleths as its only reply to arguments on
present day affairs. AS election day, which it perceives to be dooms

Abuse and SANDER are IT'S weapons. In a State campaign pitched
in the highest key by Woodrow Wilson and maintained by him

The value of the evidence against

Snead, victim in the famous East Or

would be to say that public

If corn is king, as the Middle West

Escalloped Foods.

Escalloped foods are often more at.
tractive if prepared in individual por.
tions. Half a dozen fireproof china
ramekins cost but little and are Of
special value; individual casseroles
are even more useful. Two or three
tin molds and a half dozen timbal
molds, to set in a pan of hot water
for relocating foods, also count for
much. Always keep in mind when
using left-overs that the material is
already cooked and merely needs re-
heating or browning quickly; there
fore, any sauce added must be cooked
from to Is minutes, according to
method of making, before using in
what are often called made dishes.
Also remember that the finest and
best flavor is lost in relocating and
that careful seasoning is essential.
