Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1910-09-24

James Patten, one-time cotton and
wheat king. who found so much diff
Guilty in retiring, now evidently finds
difficulty in filling his leisure time.
This difficulty is evidenced by the fact
that he has begun to give advice to
young men. Occasionally a genius is
found who can throw out advice on any
and all subjects during the course of a
days work. Usually, however, the
gratuitous advice stage is reached only
when regular employment has come to
an end. Mr.. Patten advises boys to
learn to say mo- which Is doubtless
good advice for such occasions as re-
qui1e mo- for an answer.
The approach of the time for the
return to the city of families whose
houses have been closed all summer
seems to have inaugurated a saturnalia
of burglary. A most satisfying feature
of these final sorties from the under
world is contained in the fact that al
most without exception the raiders have
been caught. 1t isn't often that the
same neighborhood is treated to a genu-
inc burglar chase which ends success
fully two nights in succession. Lincoln
Park residents are unanimously of the
opinion that their experience in this re-
gard has been completely rounded out
and Is sufficient.
Newark suffraglsts are evidently look
ing further ahead than to the November
elections. Their winter campaign for
votes for women is scheduled to begin
November 1. The election falls a week
later. 1t Is impossible to believe that
even idealists of the undoubted sin
certify of the suffragists could hope to
accomplish a revolution in a week.
Therefore, 1t may be assumed that
future elections are the goal Ut which
they aim. So much enthusiasm has
been aroused for other issues In his
State this fall that perhaps it Is just
as well this one is deferred until an
other time.
There are places hat give more
happiness than president of the United
States. 1t Is enough for you to grow
up to be good men and women, to be
always honest. kindly and to do. right.
The satisfaction you can get in that
life Is much greater than being presi-
dent" said President Taft in an adj
dress to the little inmates of the House
of Refuge In Cincinnati yesterday.
Ordinarily such a statement would
sound trite and a trife insincere COM
ing from SO high a source. but does
anyone doubt President Taft meant
every word he said?
Commentators differ concerning the
last night. Since no official decision
was rendered 1t was left for the press
to pass upon. Some of the judges with
out official standing thought victory
perched on the sophomore banners,
while others insisted the freshmen had
all the better of 1t. Since the most
serious results of the rush were minor
bruises, abrasions and Commissions and
lacerated garments, 1t may be said to
have been highly successful.
Two foreign aviators have succeeded
in flying over the Alps, A rich prize
was offered for the feat, which was re-
garded as the most difficult and danger
GUS test for bird-meniyet proposed, And
why should such a test be proposed,
will be a general query. Is the aus
of science to be advanced by such a
flight? Not to any great extent, per-
haps. but there is enough of the won't
take a dare boy spirit in adventurous
men to make the mere proposal of a
difficult feat a challenge.
The most bitter of the commuter en-
emies of the railroads must perforce
stop and heave a sigh in contempla-
ton of the plight of the Illinois Cen
trail. The most recent developments
in the graft case of which it was the
victim show that 1t was mulcted dur
ing the graft regime Of 5000, 900. The
scandal, which has already resulted In
the suicide of one railway president,
grows as it is probed, and 1t seems to
have been already established that the
end is not yet.
