A child may squeeze. it wriggles

Ma united states C%ontroi.

To the Editor OF the Evening STAR:
Dear Sir-What on earth does
Secretary of State Knox mean by
his plan for the naturalization of
the railroads of Manchuria, which
are now controlled by Japan? Jap
anese familiar with all the con-
dltions cannot understand what the
object of the United States is in the
matter at all.
The railroads are not, N VIII
not be for some length of time, on
a paying basis. They are neces-
sary to preserve the integrity or
the Chinese empire. and will pre-
serve that integrity just as Q
under the present control of Japan
as of the United States.
Japan, as a nation. has no objec-
ton to United States capital being
used to help develop the wonderfui
resources now lying dormant IN
China; but they certainly do not
favor the control Of the railroads
of Manchuria passing to the United
States.
The United States has the money
to help develop China. Japan has
not, and. as all Japanese believe
that China has a great future and
that her development will help
Japan, as we'll as the entire Orient,
United States financial aid in this
respect is welcomed. But there
must be no change in the railroad
situation. They must be controlled
by the governments directly in
terested, namely, Japan, China,
Korea and Russia.

THE LESSON
OF THE STORM

must always prevail until relief comes in the form of subways.
This congestion may be endured under ordinary conditions, but
when the added burden of snow encountered streets is imposed
forbearance ceases to be a virtue. Newark will harken some dy
to the promptings of modern progress and seek to avail itself Of
the benefits of underground transportation. If it does not do so,
foreign capital and enterprise will show it the way. But if this is
too much to hope for at this time, at least let us have a little more
modern method in the cleaning Of our streets. In most munich.
palities where energy and enterprise are prominent the streets are
Cleaned by contract. BY this method responsibility is narrowed,
economy is practised, politics is largely eliminated and cleanliness
lis made possible. Newark adheres to the obsolete method of doing
this work through its street department, with no limit on the cost
other than the appropriation, and with no result to support it.
This criticism, 1T is but fair to say, is directed more at the method
than at the street department. 1t is an easy method of providing
patronage at fixed periods, but that is a political reason that should
not weigh against the welfare of the city. If Newark were upto-
date in it's STRENGTHENING department we would not be suffering
SO many annoyances from the storm that is now upon us.

A Square Deal.

To The Editor of the Evening Star:
The people of Newark are hardly
in accord with the committee of tbs
Board of Trade in their recent at
tack on the police and the Board of
Police Commissioners. The public
view of tho work of the depart
ment is that it is excellent and
that no city in the country has
more eason to be proud of It's
bluecoats than has Newark. The
best answer possible for the Police
Board to make is the one they did
make by preserving a dignified
silence at the meeting yesterday and
ignoring the so-called Charges"
altogether. Lathrop Anderson.
chairman of the Board of Trade
committee, has, according to the
correspondence given out at police
headquarters. put himself on record
as in favor of more policemen, and
yet comes out with a statement in
which he quotes figures, which have
been p-oven incorrect, to support
his theory Of too many policemen.
Instead of this constant criticism
from public "goodies'' let such in
vestigators look into the figures of
the police departments of other
cities and see how favorably ours
compares with my. Give the New
ark police a square DEAL"

THE
WARNING


rightly so, that he was elected upon a platform which solemnly
promised it. He has urged its adoption ever since assuming office
but it has always failed of passage. This year he says it must be
passed or the Republican party must stand convicted of a breach
of faith before the people, There was some hope for the passage
OF such a law last year, for the Republican members were not
wholly committed to Regularity" but all efforts were Ruthless
This year, If appearances count for anything, the bill is doomed
before it's introduction. The Governor has acquired some knowledge
of the political game as it is now played. He knows that the Re-
publican party, as represented in the House and Senate, while
friendly to him personally, looks codly upon his political hopes
and aspirations. His view of the political field, even before the
converting of the Legislature, must have presented to him an array
of forces strong enough to adopt any legislation, but with no indi
cation of being open to executive influence. Nevertheless, the
Governor sounds his warning, and now awaits its effect. If the
bill be not passed, what is the plight of the Republican party? The
Governor is undoubtedly sincere. He must have weighed the effect
of such a declaration. Had he in mind the example of the captain
Of a ship who prefers to go down with his craft rather than seek
his own safety? The Governors words have gone forth. If they
be not needed by the Legislature, they are sure to be we'll remem-
bered by the opposition when the parties again appeal for the
peoples preference.

Advertising the City.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear SRA few months ago the
estimable and worthy Newark
Board of Trade at one of it's MONTH
ly gatherings proposed that New
ark be advertised. Great idea! The
members, a brilliant array of gen.
tlemen. some Of whom conduct es-
adjustments employing workmen,
others who merely live in the city
and want to prove it, patted them
selves mildly on the back.
To prove to the public that they
would sacrifice modesty to the wei
fare Of the city, they issued a beau
tifully illustrated booklet giving a
few facts regarding the city. Tt
was a good book and a credit
Mayor Haussling, thinking of the
book and the scheme of the board,
recommended, in his annual mes
sage. that the scheme be carried
further. This was a good idea. in
line with the other proposals made
in the message, and was received as
such by the public.
To the Board of Trade, however,
in light of their recent assertions,
the message was regarded as q
slight on their efforts. Instead of
thanking the board for advertising
the city, the Mayor had proposed
that the city be advertised! Hor-
rors! The Board of Trade deter
mined to see to it that the Mayors
wishes were carried out.
The first step was a resolution

destinies of the city that the post
office be torn down and a $4,000 0
building be erected. Fine! That's
the kind of advertising the city
needs, Tear down everything.

To the average person, who can
add two and two without calling a
force of accountants and an adding
machine, this effort at advertising
the city seemed sufficient. But the

month at 764 Broad street had just

That's advertising the city! That's
the kind of stuff that will give
people the impression that Newark
is the only place on earth to live.
That's the sort of talk that will
boom the city and pour streams OF
gold into the Golfers OF local mer-
chants. Sure!
Let us have more advertising.
Newark needs it. The only cues

Trouble In Institutions.

To the Editor OF the Evening STAR.
Sir-There appears to be consid-
cradle trouble in some of our local
institutions and I wonder what the
real cause is. While the asylum in
vestigation is still hot the City
Home has troubles of its own
What next? Is 1t primarily because
OF the lack of discipline on the part
of those In immediate control, or is
1t a case of "higher up?" For in
stance, the trouble in the asylum
may be due in the first instance as
much to the freeholders themselves
as to the men whom they appoint.
Perhaps a little probe along this
line would be fruitful of results.
