made in police court by Dan Wilson,
who was charged with being drunk
He pleaded not guilty and the judge
said that II he was not drunk, that it
was the first time in all the time he
had known him. Then he replied
that he was positively not drunk at
the time of his arrest, although it

The officer who arrested him testi-
fed that he had been "drunker than
seven hundred dollars;" so he was
given thirty days by the judge. His
record is a pretty good one for the
state of Kansas.

HOLD THE RIGHT IDEALS.

We not only can strengthen mental
weaknesses and deficiencies, but 1t is
perfectly possible to increase the gen
eral ability through the power of sug-
g~estion, says Orison SWEET Marden IN
Success Magazine, Indeed, the suscep-
tibility of all the mental faculties to
improvement, to enlargement. is some
thing remarkable.
Sometimes very strong faculties are
latent until especially aroused. There
are many people who pass for towards,
who are Inundated because they have
so little courage, when, il they only
knew how, they could strengthen this
deficient faculty wonderfully by hold
ing the courageous ideal: by thinking
and doing the courageous deed; by
carrying the thought of fearlessness;
by reading about heroic lives; by con-
stantly thinking the heroic thought
and trying to live it. The courage may
be small in a person because it has
never been called into sufficient exer-
else. It may need only to be aroused.
There are many people living lives OF
m~ediocrity who might do great things;
might become mental giants If their
dormant faculties were aroused, their
general ability improved and en-
larged.

Nirht school Chnngc.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
A great hue and cry has been made
by certain parties against changing
the schedule in the local night schools.
1t is asserted that the Board of Edu-
cation can greatly please and accom-
modate the Jewish population of New
ark by changing the recess night from
Wednesday to Friday. This is done to
enable the Jewish people to attend their
religious services and still not lose
any of the benefits derived from night
schools. Although l am not a Jew, this
proposed change does not interfere with
any of my plans, and 1 cannot see in
what manner it will prove a detriment
to those who oppose it.
If this plan were in any way TO m
terfere with the efficiency of the night
schools it would only be just and
proper to refuse the request of the
Jewish people, out as this is not the
case there is no reason in the world
why the Board of Education should
not permanently make the required
change in the schedule The fact that
tso large a percentage Of the night
school pupils are Jewish, in my esti-
nation, proves them a very indus

DISTRACTION IN PARTY COUNCILS.

STa HE bewilderment that Woodrow Wilson has brought to the
councils of the Republican managers in New Jersey by the
simplicity, honesty, courage and originality OF his campaign
addresses was evident enough in the remarks by speakers at the
gathering in the County Republican Committee headquarters last
night. 1t would be charitable to omit publication OF these e
marks, for The speakers were not in a normal state Of mind. a
member of the Assembly delegation this year who is up for re-
election deprecated Woodrow Wilson's peculiar ideas about poll
tics. Mr.. Wilson breaches duty to the people, and not to the speclai
Parker, of the Cannon old guard, glowingy described the increase
in population. wealth and crops, and exulhngly exclaimed: THE
Republican party knows how TO do these things" AS for the Payne
Aldrich tariff, MI. Parker stands for it, for didn't he vote for every
trust schedule in it? And behold how the Republican party was
making every rich beneficiary of the tariff on necessaries pay duty
through. Mayoralty Candidate Gnichtel believed in a consttu-
tional governor, who would not interfere with the Senate and
House" But that's what they all want. No more Governor Fort
for them; orders received only from State committee. Judge
Jones had reliable information of contemplated Democratic cleo
ton frauds, but a county committee that is so strongly entrenched
in virtue that it disdains to accede to the demand by Republicans
to make it's contributions and expenses public will not fail to look
after the wicked Democrats spotted by the vlg1lant author OF the
charter that somebody tried to force upon Newark. FINALLY,
there was the statement by the county chairman that, although
the press of Essex county was against the old guard, voters did
not take their politics from the newspapers, a modestly indirect
way of saving that the voters drew their inspiration from county
committee headquarters. If their inane talk doesn't indicate de
moralization. with it's confusion and distraction of thought, it
doesn't mean ANYTHING.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t is to be hoped that the determine
ton of the Newark NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Association to locate and keep a record
OF all cases of tuberculosis in this city
will be followed up vigorously.
1t is evident that this very important
matter has been almost criminally neg
lected by the physicians OF the city,
who are supposed to report all positive
cases of tuberculosis to the Board or
Health. Yet we have records of only
a few hundred cases, when it Is esti-
mated that more than 5000 people are
afflicted with the disease in n form
or another in this city.
I understand there is a penalty of
from $40 to 800 for failure to report
such cases, but UP to the present time
the State law and the city ordinance
regulating such matters have beer
grossly ignored.
It is said that the recent report OF
these conditions in the EVENING
STAR has caused the local authorities
to awake to the situation here and has
stimulated a determination to gel
down to the facts in connection with
this important matter.

OF GENERAL INTEREST.

THE ARROPLANE IN WARFARE.

THE AER0PLANE IN WARFARE.
In war the %aeroplane may be of some
use. 1 would suggest taking the airman
well in advance of the war and put
ting him on a diet of dynamite and
nitroglycerine. After being fed lie
would have to be handled carefully, or
he might go off prematurely. When
war was declared l would conduct him
to his %aeroplane and ask him to ny.
I would give him a message to be car
ried beyond the enemy's lines. and the
chances would be that his motor would
get a hot box just in time to let him
drop on a fat generalissimo OF two
This would, of course, explode the
airman, but that would be little loss,
for he would have killed himself event
ually, anyway. A battalion OF two Of
well loaded airmen. exploding in the
enemy's camp would create consterna-
ton. The airmen might be made ever
more deadly by feeding them alternate
doses of dynamite and nails.
As a sport airshipping Will doubtless
appeal to many. Even on the hottest
days, an airman, darting through the
air, is caressed by a cooling breeze, and
the sport is, in this, like the other
sport of jumping off the Brooklyn
bridge, which latter has, however, the
disadvantage of being safer, and there
fore less exciting. The bridge Jumper
is sure where he will alight. Unless a
t~houghtless tug or ship gets in his
way he is pretty sure to alight in tho
water, out the airman has the pleasant
Utilization of uncertainty to add to his
pleasure. There are one hundred and
four things that can happen to an au-
tomobile motor to make it stop work,
and there are all these and several
more that the air1nan has to contend
with, in addition to the things that
can happen to his wings, his rudders.

Four Corners Traffic Problem.


To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The suggestion of Edward Gnichtel,
Republican candidate for mayor, thai a
possible solution of the traffic problem
at the -Four Corners would be to nave
the Pennsylvania railroad run more of
its trains through to the South street
station, does not appeal tt most people
as being a practical way of getting at
the desired result.
The trolley arrangements for the sec
ton of the city tapped by the South
street station are not anywhere near
adequate for handling the crowds that
would be emptied out there as a result
of more frequent local service. The
proposed double-tracking of the Null
berry street line might help sone but
that is about the only line that could
be depended upon, and the result would
doubtless be to merely cause more con-
gestion and greater confusion at a point
where it could be very poorly handled,
What we wan is not to transfer the
point of congestion but to relieve 1t,
and to this end we must depend first Of
all OF more parallel lines of trolleys
and less converging at the -Four Cor
ners." The Pennsylvania railroad traffic
is only a drop In the bucket in the

THE REGISTRY FOR THE ELECTION.

tn EGISTRATION for the first day in New York is less than
i'm that of the first registry day last year. The registration for
an election is always puzzling and often the results of the
subsequent election n contrary to general expectation. Nor IS
the record for the first day a sure index of what the total registry
will be. In New Jersey the first registration is coincldent with the
primary election. and is, therefore, large, as those who vote neces-
sarily register. AS the man who attends a party primary is well
enough interested in the election to go to the polls in November,
the registry on the first day may be regarded as representing voters
who will vote in November. The registry on the third and last
day is quite different. On that day party managers swear IN the
names of voters who fail to appear personally at the registry
places, and hence the third-day registration is doubtful. If there
shall be a large registration in cities of our State today, the
second day of registry, it will be a good sign of a large total and
of an unusually large vote in the election next month.

CHEAPER PRICES AFTER VI ELECTION.

ITaHE rise and fall of speculative stock prices in Wall Street
is not quite as alarming to the country as it used to be.
People know that there is such a thing rs manipulation of
the stock market They are aware of the fact that groups of fnan
cers can raise. or depress prices at will, and they know that when
the stock market is dull it is usually because the LANDSLIDE public
ARE keeping out of stock speculation. So q prediction that
stock prices will go down if the Democratic party comes into power
doesn't cause any widespread alarm. But there are other prices
that will surely come down, pulled down by the moral effect of a
change in the government, and that is the prices of the necessaries
of life. The trusts that control prices will take the alarm. The
special interests that are fattenng on the peoples sustenance by
the aid of Republican government will see the necessity at once of
placating the consumer. Cheaper prices will be the natural
sequence of a Democratic victory in November.

GREAT ON BOARD UNKETs.

NV EWARKS Board of Works may not be distinguished for
AM any great capacity for doing things that the public wants.
In fact, there is widespread complaint that the board is
inept. But the board can be credited with one kind of activity.
1t never misses a junket. When anything is going to happen in
another city that has some relation to the character of duties of
the board, off goes the board or its energetic engineer to attend
the function at the expense of the city. Nearly every principal
city as far as New Orleans has been visited. Ostensibly the board
or it's employees seek information by these trips, but, though the
trips have been kept up regularly, there is yet not the least, sign
that the board has profted by them. 1t is the same old inept
board as before, and solidly Republican, too.
