To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The worst enemy to the travelling
public-those compelled to use the troll
ley-is the car-track hog" drivers who
insist on holding down the tracks in
front of a heavily loaded car with pas
sengers on their way to their daily
labors.

causes by his stubbornness-how easy
to pull out and let the car pass--he

so.
He does not think of the many who
are in hat car who will lose a days
work-also a days pay-by being a
few minutes late. How nan will lose a
half-day's pay and how many, perhaps,
will lose their position-through nc
fault of their own.
The driver no doubt thinks he is
throwing in into" the traction COM
pany. but there is where he is mis-
taken. The company has the passen-
gers, fares and it is the latter that is
getting the worse of the bargain. The
passengers in that a have not given
the driver of a wagon any cause for
the suffering they get at his hands.

THE DEMOCRATIC SLEDGE-HAMMER.

1t is not a mere coincidence that Senator Beveridge, in Indiana, and
Woodrow Wilson in New Jersey, have the same idea Of the tissues of the

influence so ubiquitous as that which Republican Independents are trying to
pry away from the conrol of public affairs with a crowbar and which
Democratic independents are striking at with sledgehammers.
This influence, this" invisible government" manifests itself in many ways;
and the only features which these manifestations have in common are their
uniform regard for special interests and their uniform hostility to the common

under the terrific pressure of a popular uprising? Why is it impossible almost
to punish frauds and crimes against the franchse? Why must W endure
vicious corporation laws, and why cannot We obtain relief from inequalities of

"Why" answers Woodrow Wilson, because in every direction where on

INIzAT1oN AND THE SPECIAL INTERESTS.

ooca HERE has come about in this country, said WOODROW"
Wilson at Toms River Yesterday, "one of the most Dan
gerous conditions possible-an alliance between polltcal
parties and business. That's why when we lay a finger ON the cor
porations we find we have disturbed political arrangements. 1he
popularity Mr.. Wilson points out has been observed by all men.
1t has characterized Republican politics and policies in New Jersey
for many years. And the men who have been the gobetweens IN
this alliance are on the stump in this campaign for the republican
ticket, and ostentatiously appLaudng declarations by Mr.. Lewis
that are an Indictment of themselves. And is anybody simple
enough to believe that these men will desert their corporation ALI.
ances and abandon the heshpots if Mr.. Lewis is elected governor!
Do they not look upon The sentiments he expresses in his campaign
merely as bait for the gudgeons? What terror for them Is a
governor who leaves the control of the Legislature TO the State com
mittee? What need they care for what he says on the platform?
They are no more bound by il than were the Aldrich-Cannon men
in Congress bound by what Taft promised in his campaign speeches.
1t will be remembered that at the special session, when the tariff
bill was discussed. these men disav0wed Tafts campaign talk and
declared thy could be bound only by what the platform said. The
New Jersey Republican State platform is reaetionary, and, except
in the one plank about the ratemaking power forced into it by
George /. Records vote in the committee on resolutions, it will be
the only authority a Republican Legislature will recognize. The old
alliance of the party leaders and the special interests will be IN
broken.

Why should a baseball player get

eight hits In eight times at the bat
to achieve 1t, while the stars In

Is a campaign such as the one in
which we are now embroiled less
interesting or fascinating or full Of
paprika than a baseball season?
The foregoing question was framed
for one particular answer. There
fore, we make 1t:
No, certainly not!
So far as candidates are con
cerned, election Is it's own reward.
The winners, then, may be elimi-
mated. But why not an automobile
or some other inexpensive trinket
for that candidate among the losers
with the best batting average?
The official scorer would merely
note each appearance of the candi-
date as a hit or a frost. The num-
Der of hits might then be divided by

NASMUCH as the railroad revaluation commissioners will have
completed their work by the end of the present year and will
be enabled to report to the next legislative session it will
obviously not be necessary for the next Governor to urge upon the
Legislature the continuance of the work of retaliation, and conse.
quently Mr.. Lewis can drop that part of his campaign speech. 1t
will be recalled how this revaluahon originated, how the bill was
forced through the Legislature in 1909 against the opposition of the
"od guard how it was opposed and crippled in the Legislature this
year and how the revaluation would have been stopped forthwith
but for a wholesome fear of consequences in the elections. But the
work will have been completed and its results will be made known
after the election. The declared object of the reyaluation was to
get a correct basis of railroad property value for assessment of
taxes. Woodrow Wilson declares as his policy that there shall be
equal taxation in this State and that determinations in favor of
public utility corporations shall be ended. In the report by the
REGULATION commissioners he will, as Governor, have solid ground
to- stand upon.

Bergen Historical Facts.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Among the people living in Bergen,
n. j., of the early settlers, was the
mother of DIR. C. l.. M%orehouse, of 904
West Thirtieth street, Manhattan, who
vas born In Bergen in 1854. Her par
ents were Holland Dutch. and she was
a Miss Catharine Belts, who, before the
War of the Revolution, married John
Morehouse, the father of DIR. M%orehouse,
who is now the only real living son left
of a soldier who served in the Reyolu-
tionary War.
John Morehouse, her husband, enlist
ed at the beginning of the war and
served sever years, under General
Washington. His wife, the doctors
mother, followed the army, as the Brit
ish burned down her house when they
invaded the town and ordered her to
vacate 1t within twenty minutes.
The remains of John Morehouse are
buried in the old graveyard back of the
Old First Church, on Broad street, in
Newark, N. J.. His son. DIR. Morehouse,
the last of thirteen children, has passed
his 8sth year. His Oldest sister, Har-
riet, married Philip Van Rensselaer,, q
son of the old PATRON Van Rensselaer,
of Albany. DIR. Morehouse himself rep
resented Chancellor Livingston at the
Hudson-Fulton historical parade on a
float, and administered the oath of office
to Washington as the first president
yof the United States. During that time

ENRIcHEs THE FEW AND BEdGARS THE MANY.

IT L is now believed that the amount to be recovered from the
Duveen Bros art firm for differentiation of their art importa-
lions at the custom house will greatly exceed the large amounts
paid by the sugar trust, which aggregated over two millions. The
frauds have extended over a period of years. 1t was by private
information that Collector Loeb was put onto the practises by the
Duyeen Bros. and as they were committed for years without detec-
ton there is every reason to believe that there are many other firms
also guilty of similar frauds. Therefore, much of the wealth that
is seen Haunted in New York is the record of commercial crime. 1t
is exasperating to reflect that the custom houses of the country
should be made the means of a dishonest enrichment of an opulent
few. while it is at the same time the means. through the Payne.
A1drich tariff, of compelling millions of wage earners to pay double
prices for the neeessaries of life.

PASSAIC AID TO TRUNK SEWER.

ID AssAlc city, like Newark, is progressive. Both cities gave
good evidence of that fact in their census returns, as they
showed phenomenal increases. Progressive Newark has
been laboring for years to get the cooperation of her neighbors in
the Passaic valley on the building of a trunk sewer to carry off
their sewage to the ocean and thus purify the Passaic river, which is
an enormously valuable asset for the whole Passaic valley. Fat
witted opposition has delayed the work from year to year, but Pas
sale is among the municipalities that have seen the vast Importance
and vital necessity of a cooperative sewer. The Passaic Board of
Trade and not an adyenttious majority in the Passaic Council
represents Passaic, and the Board of Trade now calls upon the

County Chairman Dalrymple is not to
be seriously blamed for his inability
to understand the complexities of the
present campaign. His experience
makes him an adept in the practical
phases of politics, but it leaves him
wholly unprepared to cope with the
present enlightened movement. Small
wonder, then, that in his defense OF
his party he employs art instead of
reason. His latest manifesto is not a
classic, but it has its points. For ex-
ample, note his clarion call to the de-
Tense of the peoples interests and his
righteous alarm lest Woodrow Wilson,
as governor, should consult with GER
tain individuals. His sincerity in this
regard may be best appreciated by re-
calling how carefully he withheld the
influence of his position from the de-
liberations and actions of his own little
group of independent legislators last

GARDENERS LABOR FRIENDS.

II I is a pity that the opposition to the unspeakable Gardner in the
Second Congress district is divided between two candidates.
The labor leaders of the district display their usual lack of
common sense. Gardner has VIGOROUSLY betrayed the labor in
terests, and if the labor vote unites with the Democratic vote he can
be beaten. But a third candidate is stupidity put up, much to the
relief and amusement of Gardner. He couldn't have had things
ordered better if he had paid for it.

has had a bully time. He ONE now

he precipitated. Occasion for his physi-
cal and mental enjoyment is thus as
sured until after election, but what
then? For seven years his hand was at
the helm, guiding the national ship
through waters more or less troubled.
If he rocked the boat at times, it was
not because of uncertainty or fear, bat
in response to the call of a spirit which
demands action. Later he found solace
in the wilds of Africa. But new sensa-
ions must be provided. The present
political strife must soon end, and MOTH
ing seems to lie beyond. Let us hope
that the future is not wholly barren,

which will arise vital issues calling for
the further employment of such yigor-
