want. s,dewn,ks cleaned.

70 the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-Four or five years ago, when
Judge Algernon T. Sweeney was on
the bench, a crusade against snow
covered sidewalks vas made, with
very good results, Judge Sweeney
paid particular attention to this
class of offenders, and, after a 10"
fines had been imposed. sidewalks
in the city were kept reasonably
free from snaw and ice.
Can't the ordinance be- ,nforcso
again as 1t was then? Wnile ! UNI
derstand that an effort IS be'rg
made to have the snow removed
from sidewalks within a reasonable
time after the storm is over, clean
streets are by no means univer sal.
In our climate, where rain follows
snow about half the time, and freez-
ing weather follows the rain. 1t is
essential that sidewalks be cleaned
before the snow has had a chance
to freeze and make them almost i'm
passable. If householders will at
tend to this part of their civic duty
there will be many less accidents
and travel in bad weather will be
greatly improved. +. G. Fl.

AN OLD, OLD STORY.

Scientists sometimes put them-
selves In false positions by solemn
ly announcing some discovery which
had BEEN discovered many times
before. A professor ZONES out with
the statement that he has just hit
upon the fact that a belt of dark
ness envelopes the earth just out
side our atmospheric black inter-
. stellar region where all light waves
r absorbed.
To the layrnan this sounds new
and scientific, but no less a person
than Mr.. Sullivan discovered this
matter of outer darkness in Mis-
sissippi many years ago. as he adj
mits himself. Almost every glove
scientist who ever reached the top
of the heap discovered it, and not
only that, but shoals of common or
garden pugilists who cannot be
mentioned in the same breath with
the big fellows are discovering it
daily.
A sudden headlong plunge
through a starry world and they are
in the black outer aura. Perhaps it
was because they are usually
reticent about discussing it that the
professor thought he had seen it
= first.

more interest in primary cleo
tons than formerly the State
INTEREST IN THE
DIRECT PRIMARY

field Of debate. 1t should be asked, what is the character of that
interest, how ia it stimulated and what are its results? Changes
in the primary laws are to be judged by the amount of practical
good they accomplish. If there is no betterment in the nominations
made, what benefit does the State get from the increased interest in
the primary? How are politics improved? Where is the good ae-
compished? Was the last election in New Jersey for municipal and
county officers and members of the Legislature any better than
preceding elections? In point Of fact, the open primary gives us
no better candidates than the nominating convention, and it costs
Immensely more. In not a few cases the candidates. were inferior.
n the increased interest in the primary is due to a desire for better
Nominations there is no evidence of it in the work of the primaries
last September. How the interest is stimulated can be told by the
pocketbooks of the principal candidates for the nominations. There
was nothing of that kind under the old system. If candidates had
gotten out in past years with campaign funds and brass bands to
stir up the party voters there would have been an increased interest
then, too. But both the spectacular and the cash were wanting.
The new system has turned party organization upside down, ds.
troyed cohesion, bred personal rivalries and fractional dissensions.
That is certainly not good in politics. Under the old primary system
party quarrels arose, but they were settled. Under the new they
are chronic and i~mplacable. What's the use of persevering in the
false view that the direct primary is a real reform in politics? 1t
isn't. 1t demoralizes politics and hurts government.

TO the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Sir-It needs no argument to prove
the ~inefficiency Of the street car
service In this city, but the matter
Is made much worse when a citizen
is often deprived Of taking a car as
it m along, and is compelled
to remain standing on the curb for
fifteen minutes to await another.
This has happened not only once, but
very often to the writer, and GER
tainly it is hard to find any ade-
quate reason for 1T, unless it may be
the eagerness of the motorman to
cover his distance.
Street car companies, like any
other public conveyance, r re-
quired by law to carry any passen-
ger, if the passenger has his fare,
and, if l am not mistaken, 1t is n
der this agreement that they receive
their charters. But l notice that this
law is only complied with at the
discretion of the motorlnen, who, I
In coming to believe, r very poor
judges in many cases. and disre-
gard the comfort of the public for

Another trolley Victim.

TO the Editor OF the Star:
/ am going to relate an incident
tina occurs almost nightly. Last
night, about 5:45 o'clock, arrived
in front OF the STAR office to get o
car going to the city limits on the
Broad line. With many others hay
ing the same destination had the
pleasure of seeing countless MI.
Prospect, Kearny and Main Line
cars go by. but nary u Broad. Not
even a Paterson car amt along.
About fifteen minutes after 6 a
Broad car came, crowded to the
doors. There was a wild
to get aboard. In the midst OF IL
along came the inspector VINO
stands at the Four Corners all a
-he with the fat and ruddy face, l
mean.
Shouting like a wild man he
grasped the bar that blocks the
entrance and pulled it down directly
on the heads of those about to
enter, at the same time throwing
aside those who were about to
reach for the step. All the time he
kept on excitedly yelling in the
ears of all, Don't crowd this car;
there's plenty behind!' I looked
about, but evidently I was not
gifted with the same remarkable
sight, for / failed to see any com
ing.
l think, and I am not alone in this
belief, that II this same inspector
would devote a little of this Won
derful energy he uses in making a
prime nuisance of himself in getting
the cars at the Four Corners on
time, he would be of vast more help.
I wonder If the Public Service
thinks it right to allow this con-
dition to prevail? 1 certainly can
see no good a why such a
lapse of time should occur between
the arrival of cars.
One man who was pushed off by
the inspector had been waiting anX-
iously for a half hour to make con-
nections with a train on the Erie at
Fourth avenue and even then had
a chance to make it providing the
interference had not taken place.

Carnegie VS.. strnus.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-It is not known how
many lives have been saved and
vided for little sufferers by Nathan
Strauss philanthropy, how many
parents, brothers and sisters will
remember him in thoir prayers. Fol
what he has done to help suffering
humanity he may expect to be re-
Warded in the future-the great fu-
ture--but he must be receiving q
great, satisfying reward right now.
His reward commences herein this
world-and never will end. He
seems to understand the needs of
the children, the buds in Gods gar
den, and by his are for them he
also ministers to the parents by re-
lieving the heartaches and anguish
of those who would otherwise have
to see their children suffer and die
for want.
What has u good friend Andrew
Carnegie done for the suffering poor
on q large scale? True, he has
built. or helped build, many, very
many, libraries for the enlighten-
ment and education Of the people.
But how about the laboring classes
and the poorer peopie-have they
the time, after their ten hours la
Dor and their supper to spend time
IN a library? Ask 100 persons met
on the street If ttey visit a library
and notice their replies. Not n
in hat number avails himself of
Carnt gie's bounty.
For every dollar expended by Mr..
!. Straus perhaps Mr.. Carnegie spends
a hundred dollars, Which docs the

casions voted to grant their request
for more pay. and, therefore, he has
no right to complain. w. j. II.

CONSERVATIO FOR
THE STATE WATERS

little longer time to think the subject out, and unquestionably
there should be much thought in the executive mind before there
is any positive delverance. The subject can we'll make the text of
a special message, and in that shape, too, it will command more
attention. In the national government the enemies of conservation,
the men who want to exploit the nations natural resources, are
working hard to secure control of conservation. They have turned
from complete denial that such a policy is correct to acquiescence,
but the policy must be administered by themselves. We find in
New Jersey the same tactics. The watersnake is striving to be
practically the administrator as we'll as the great beneficiary of a
conservation policy. The extraordinary proposition for an immense
artificial lake in the lower Passaic valley, with it's outlet convenient
to the East Jersey Water Companys great plant at Bellevlle, was
not conceived in the interest of the people. To establish that lake
under the present law would be to establish the watersnake in a
position from which it could never be ousted. To give the State
Water Supply Commission the power to go right ahead and con-
denim or buJ a large territory, wipe out municipalities, cemeteries
is necessary only for a bill to be passed creating water districts.
The cunning hand TINT drew the State commission act provided
for that easy method of comforting all these immense powers on
the present State commission. A plan of water conservation in
New Jersey should consider only one interest-the public. The
water resources of New Jersey are small and can never be increased.
Water is the staff of life. The power should never be given to
make it an article of commercial profit or to subject the people to
the danger of excessive charges. A conservation policy must also
cover the whole State and protect all watersheds.
