Fake Druggists.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The fact that several deaths have
occurred in the metropolis as the re-
suit of the use OF so-called headache
powders" leads one to suggest that a
little local investigation along that line
would be worth while. We certainly
have the same sort Of subtle poison
sold in large quantities by some Of
the less conscientious dealers in drugs
and medicines.
The Evening STAR has done such
excellent work lately In bringing petty
swindlers, such as short weight dealers,
to terms that I would suggest the ad-
Visibility Of a grand "show-up" of the
crooked druggists. Let them be
shown up until they are turned
down" in the eyes Of everybody and
put out of business. There are plenty
of these purveyors of poison here. AS
a matter of fact, they flourish in New
ark In the same proportion to our
population as they do in New York.
The Evening STAR could easily en-
gage a reputable chemist who could
readily make analysis of ~so-called
headache powders and other poisons
sold under the guise of medicines.
Better let the get-rich-quick man
flourish than his more inhuman brother,
the kill-'en-quick man. 7. z. x.

Senatorial situation cnnvasse'

Senatorial situation Canvassed.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
I am amazed by the statement made
by Governor-elect Wilson hat it is in
cumbent on him to declare to the peo-
pie of the State of New Jersey that
the only eligible candidate for SEN
ator Kean's seat in the United States
Senate, which is about to become va
cant, can be none other than James
MARITIME.
I am equally surprised at the reasons
adduced by Mr.. Wilson for making this
statement at all. Mr.. Wilson is not
yet governor of New Jersey and the
Legislature is not in session.
There can be no warrant for Mr..
Wilson's declaration that any particu-
lar person would not be the repre-
sentative Of the State Of New Jersey
as United States senator, IL elected to
that Office. The person elected United
States senator for New Jersey will rep
resent the State of New Jersey in the
| United States Senate. If he should
not then we are not governed by the
constitution of the United States nor
by that of New Jersey. But Mr.. Will
son says the people of New Jersey
have expressed their preference for
Mr.. MARITIME for senator. That is not
true.
1 have not the figures at hand, but ]
think Mr.. Stokes was selected as their
choice for United States senator by a
greater number of voters at the pri-
mary than Mr.. MARITIME, and II that be
SO, then, according to Mr.. Wilson's rea-
soning, Mr.. Stokes would be the peo-
pies choice, and the only eligible can
didate for senator.
But whether this be so or not, ii
must be obvious to any fair-minded
man that to make 1t q true test OF
choice for senator the candidates fol
that office should present their names
and claims openly to all the people
with sufficient emphasis to interest al
the voters to express their preference
Can anybody say that such was the
case at the 8 primary-a primary
when this experiment was first used
and resulted in what may well be
called an accident.
L know nothing of Mr.. MARITIME AM
all I know Of Mr.. Smith Is that he ha:
once served this State with dignity and
ability as United States senator Int
that he has served the Democratic
party of the State for long years will
constant fidelity, and, under our forn
of government, no man a deny hin
the right to aspire to any office In tn
land. Respectfully.

ESSEX AND HUDsoN IN popULAT TON.

= SSEX county has begun to creep up upon Hudson county in
IL the matter of population. Up to 1880 Essex county was far
In the lead, but the rapid increase of the population in
Hudson brought the population of that county in 1880 up to within
1000 Of Essex. In 1890 Hudson forged ahead and led Essex by
$4,000. In 1900 Hudson's lead was increased to about 1000. By
the present census Hudson's lead is reduced to 24,343, a gain for
Essex of 1852. There is good reason to believe that in the next
ten years, and possibly in FIVE, Essex will recover her numerical
superiority. The opportunities for population growth are much
greater in Essex than in Hudson. Encroachment by the railroads
for terminal property is a handicap to the population. No such
conditions exist in this county, where the great advantages of the
city of Newark and the development of suburban property in the
county are the great factors in population growth. 1t is not i'm.
probable, also, that in a few years the eastern boundary of Essex
county will be shifted from the Passaic to the Hackensack, which
will throw into Essex all of West Hudson, which geographically
and by every business and social tie belongs TO Essex.

THE US7ICESHIP APPOINTMENTS.

II I was well settled last week that neither of the j%usticeship ap-
II pointments by the President will go to New Jersey. Wash
ington dispatches announce that Justice White, of Louisiana,
will be given the chief jushceship; that Joseph r. Lamar, formerly
chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia, will succeed Asso-
ciate Justice White, and that Judge Willis Vandeventer, of the
Eighth judicial circuit, will be appointed in the place of Associate
Justice Moody. Associate Justice White is a Democrat, as was
the late chief Justice. Lamar also is a Democrat. President Taft
has vacilated greatly in the matter of the justiceship appointments,
and if report can be credited has changed his mind several times.
1t is highly important that the full court should take up anew the
test cases now pending involving the authority of the Federal gov
eminent in respect to the great trusts, a final decision in which has
so long been delayed.

BRAZIL,S DEMORALIZED NAVY.

I'D sailors of the Brazilian warships who mutinied not long ago
has its natural consequence in a second mutiny, which the
government is compelled to suppress by force. The weakness of the
government in the first instance was a matter of wonder for the
outside world, and the inevitable effect upon the discipline of the
navy was pointed out. The second mutiny follows close upon the
first. In her navy Brazil has some powerful ships, but for purposes
of war they arr no better than so many tubs, for there is no effect

Automobiles Should Re Tagged.

Automobiles Should BE Tagged.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In view of the increasing number of
automobile accidents. especially those
in which the driver ''sneaks" and leaves
his helpless victim lying on the road
or street. 1t may be pertinent to ask
why so many machines are allowed to
pass the -Four Corners without at
least being properly tagged for iden-
tiication.
1t is a common sight TO see machines
with only one number on them, either
in the front or rear, while the law re-
quires that they be conspicuously hung
on each end. It IL also a ommon sight
to see numbers 30 badly battered or
mud-bespattered that they might Just
as well be hung up in the moon. An
other common sight is to see a woman
or a boy driving a high-powered ma
chine. Is there no limit to auto au-

rest for violations Of this kind.
