To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The Lincoln Monument Association
of East Orange has sent out an appeal
to the citizens, through the school chill
dren, asking for the cooperation of the
community in raising the $4,000 when
is yet needed to finance this tribute to
the great emancipation.
The memory of Abraham Lincoln
should be dear enough to every Amer
lean to tempt him to part with as much
money as he can spare to assist In this
noble undertaking.
This monument. besides showing the
esteem in which Lincoln is held by the
citizens of East orange, will also add
to the beauty of the city and to our
appreciation of the artistic.
Mayor Cardwell has put his shoulder
to the wheel, n it is now up to us
to help him and the other members or
the committee to collect the needed
amount in record time.

tn ERJURY is too common Il crime i'll divorce suits IN New
S Jersey. largely because the crime can be committed with
comparative safety from punishment. NiceChahceilor Gar
rison, during proceedings in IL case in Jersey City on Wednesday
felt outraged at the evident perjury of a woman witness i'll giving
he. testimony, and sent for Il representative of the prosecutor, with
the threat that he would send the witness to Jail if he should be
convinced she was living under oath. On redirect examination the
witness weakened and told the truth, which was directly contrary
to her previous testimony. Perjury is crime. Should it pass UNI
noticed and unpublished when committed in the presence OF the
court? Should the court indiferenty accept or pass owe state
sments from witnesses that appear on their face to be false! In
sdivorce suits the temptation to commit perjury is always present,
land Judges should recognize that fact and be on guard against the
scrime. And detection should insure prompt and stern punishment.
The only way to drive perjury out of the witness stand is to scourge
the periurer without mercy.

Thrift, regularity and caution are
virtues with regulations SO well es-
tablished that it is Unnecessary to
give any of them any gratuitous
boosting.
Occasionally. however, a story in
the news of the day so aptly illus
trates the value of practising them
that it deserves emphasis.
Fifteen ear ago a C~hicagoan,
after a five years eourtship, o
cured a marriage license. Then
something occurred TO make him
think he had been too precipitate.
Time passed, and one day last
week our hero decided his early
fears were groundless. So he went
right to the drawer where he haG
put the license fifteen years ago,
found it as good as new and was
happily married to his first love.
How many men would have
thrown the license aside or mis-
placed it when they found they were
to have no immediate use for it?
Indeed, it is altogether likely
that the fact that he had an I'M
used marriage license in his pos
session spurred this man on to the
state of happy wedlock which in
other circumstances he might have
deferred for years!

For Quiet Fourth.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
While | am glad to see that eve are
apparently to have a less dangerous
Fourth of July celebration this year
than we did last year. thanks to the
activity of certain. of the local au-
thorities. l think that something ought
to be lone to make it a less noisy one
also. Noise-making is a relic of bar
barism, to my mind. just as much as
wearing of rings through noses was
once thought to be an addition to the
beauty of mankind. We have become
civilized enough to get rid of the rings,
let us get rid of the noise. II we are
to have a comparatively safe celebra-
ton, let us have a sane one also as far
as noisemaking is concerned.

MN FFICIAL announcement that $50.000,0D0 of Chicago, II,
w wuukee and ~. Paul ffteenyear 1 per cent. bonds had been
mT sold to a group of leading French banks is most gratifying.
1t means that that amount of French capital will have been in
vested in American enterprises, but it means more than that.
France is Il lending nation. The wonderful thrift of the French
people piles up an enormous capital for investment. The French
banks manage the popular investments. Heretofore the French
money market has practically been closed to American securities,
the bonds of one American railroad only having been prev
iouslv listed ON the Paris Bourse. The bonds now sold will
be resold to the French people, and will be duly quoted. The
financial doors having been opened, other American loans will be
negotiated in France. and the United States will get the benefit of
the capital that has gone in great volume to Russia, Spain and
GERMANY.

acting this year.
We are not satisfied with the cons

THE WORM TURNS.

There has existed for some little
time a feeling to the effect that he
who is given the last opportunity to
laugh freely and ~unaffectedly over a
situation, laughs best.
1t would seem, therefore. that the
merchants whose property was
confscated during the raids upon
idewalk distractions now have a

That city ordinance which appar-
emily gave. autocratic powers to a

GOODNESS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION.

II T was observed in the Kruger Auditorium on Wednesday night
that the mention of the name of President Taft did not elicit
any enthusiasm. 1t was noted, also, that the name of Roose.
Welt did elicit Il great deal of enthusiasm. Mr.. Tafts attorney
general, Mr.. Wickersham, was actually treated to Kisses. Fortu-
natey, nobody mentioned Balhnger. 1t was in that same hall a few
months ago that President Taft sat and got the impression, as he
said, that all the criticism of his administration was of the news
papers, and that the hearts of the people were with him and his
administrative acts. The STAR then said that Mr.. Taft had been
deceived by appearances. And evidently he was.

The accident to the French SUBJ
marine Pluviose, which was sunk yes
terday in the English channel, empha-
sizes the peculiar dangers which con-
stantly threaten the crews of these
strange craft. There are twenty-seven
men imprisoned in the Pluviose as she
lies on the bottom of the channel. No
venue of escape was left open to them
when a comparatively trivial accident
sent them to the bottom. Life on y
submarine would seem to be as fraught
with peril in time of peace as in war.

that very few who are not college

Just why should the judges of mu-
nicipal courts in this state be APP
pointed by the governor, while all the
other judges and justices OF the var
ious courts are elected? Isn't the
principle of giving one man the pow
er Of saying who shall dispense JUS
tice entirely contrary to Vermont
ideas Of democracy? A government
by the people and a getting just as
far away from one-man power as pos
sible. should be ever in our minds.
It Is more than likely that a governor
will appoint one Of his staunch sup
porters to an Office whenever posi-
bic, and that the peoples voice will
be little needed in the matter of sell
ection. This might not be productive
of great harm IN some cases; but we
should keep our court system free
from suspicion, so that the people
may have the greatest respect for IL.
It should be no part of the spoils-
system that is already too largely In
vogue in this country. No judgeship
should be a compensation for political
work for the successful gubernatorial
candidate. The judges of municipal
courts ought to be elected by the
people.-Londonderry Sitter.
We can't see as the iudgeships
have been used as political spois
very much in this state. There is
worse fault than that which is that
the work done is not on a par with
the salary paid. The municipal
courts perform an important function
and should not be abolished but
should be compelled to try all the
smaller criminal cases in their res
pective sections. and should also hear
civil cases without fees where the
parties agree. Justice should not be
so expensive that an ordinary man
cannot have a small case tried out in
court without mortgaglng his home
or selling his horse.
