Don't Like Dog-Catcber.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Has the city the right to delegate to
any private body the privilege of exer-
cising such powers as are given the
Humane Society? The Humane Society
itself is all right, with 1t I have no COM
plant, but the principle of the thing
seems entirely wrong. The privileges
given the society include the right to
pick up a dog of any value on the street
without q collar and within forty-eight
hours destroy it or give it away to any
body willing to provide a good home.
A recent case involved a dog which
was picked up near the residence of the
owner: the dog was of a breed upon
which it is cruelty to place a collar,
owing to the thick hair on the neck, but
the dog-catcher picked It up, said that
it was of no value and then as he led
1t away to give to q friend he was
offered $25 for It, and within a few
hours of it's receipt his friend refused
800. A valuable dog represents prop
erty, and I believe that there Is a law
covering lost property, so why should

Possible Democratic Candidate.


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-In summing up of possible
presidential candidates on the Demo-
cratic side for 1912, the man who
most likely will receive the NOM
nation is the next speaker Of
the House of Representatives, Champ
Clark, of Missouri. The election
of 1912 will hinge on the tariff. Mr..
Clark's countrymen will never forget
his t1reless, u%nceasing fight against the
Payne-Aldrich affair, which has
the voters of this country to a
pitch of resentment that will not down
until such amendments are made to
it that a man can live and properly
support his family.
Outside of Mr.. Clark's splendid record
as the minority leader of the House on
the tariff question, his public and
private life is an inspiring one. He is
radical enough to be safe, and consid-
crate enough not to be dangerous.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE 8, 1910.


na HERE is no doubt as to the authority of the State Ralroao
Commission to investigation The question of increased rares
and communication. There can also be no doubt of the I'M
notency of the commission to act. The commission has no power
ave railroad rates. The commissions life will soon be enoeo, d 8
tbe public Utilities Commission is to supersede it next month. Inc
Increased rates declared by the railroads will also soon go nto
effect. An investigation of the justice of the rate increase to be OF
any value must occupy many days. Statements to the commission
~ III roi1road renresentatiyes will be entirely one-sided, and the
fpures thew will give to the commission will be constructed to favor
their claim that the increase is justified. Where will the commls
sion re- the data to controvert that claim except as furnlsheo ~
~ roi1roadsp And finally. after the commission shall have IL.
yestigated and decided that the increase is unwarranted, 1t mas no
mandatory power. 1t is we'll to get the railroad side of the question
That has already been presented in general terms by the railroad
representatives before the State acts, but the commission cannot
intelligently make a report to the Governor on such statements ana
figures. There is no authority to act in the matter except by the
LEGISLATURE. and there are evidently strong Influences active against
an extraordinary session. 1t should be realized at once at Trenton
that all North Jersey is up in arms on this question OF fares' ana
that if there is evasion and chicanery at Trenton pubic Indignation
will blaze out with scorching effect upon the State government.

were here, and no doubt many would
have tarried longer had they been able
to secure good hotel accommodations.
What Newark needs, and needs badly,
is at least one big first-class hotel. Our
present accommodations are entirely
inadequate. No city in the United
States. the size of Newark but what
can boast of at least one new and up
to-date hosiery. 1t seems to me that
there is a grand chance for somebody
to invest capital in such a building

m N average of not less than eighty thousand persons ride every
A\ dy between the railroad terminals on the Hudson and
their homes in the cities, towns and suburban places within
a radius in New Jersey of thirty miles. OF this daily traffic only a
fractional part are commuters. 1t is estimated that the increase
in the Communication rates on the five New Jersey railroad lines
will add $780, 900 per annum to their gross income. The excursion
ticket is advanced 20 per cent. in price, and the increase in income
from this source must be four or five times greater. The total gain
by the railroads, as the STAR asserted a week ago, must be not
far short of the total amount of taxes paid to the State by the five
railroad companies.

A TUNNEL UNDER. THE DELAWARE.

1A HERE will probably be no tunnel under the Delaware river
between Camden and Philadelphia until the Pennsylvania
railroad decides to construct one. A company of Phnadel-
mia CAPITALISTS recently secured q franchise from Philadelphia, but
failed to get one from the Camden City Council. The holdup was
evidently on Pennsylvania railroad account. The large enterprise
and abundant capital of the Pennsylvania railroad would be desir-
able in such construction. That company builds for the future,
and a Delaware tunnel when constructed by it will be an engineer
ing work adapted for the traffic of a decade.

A DOUBL Y-EOUYPPED ALRSHIP.

H OWN GOULD'S offer of $4,000 to the man who shall pro-
duce the first aeroplane successfully employing two motors
and two propellers is the most sensible and practicable
proposition vet made. Mr.. Goulds idea is to make the heavier-than-
the air machine safer for travel by giving it a reserve power. If one
motor or one propeller gives out the aviator can sustain himself

ship thus doubly equipped will do vastly more towards the utiliza.
