sunday Labor.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Z The Mayor of Topeka, Kas.. has
raised the interesting question as to
whether it constitutes a breach of the
Sunday anti-labor law for a minister
to preach on the Sabbath for pay, a
choir to sing for money, street cars to
operate, drug stores to open, fruit
stands to do business, etc. Why not?
The present hair-line distinction that
is drawn relative to Sunday violations
is far beyond analysis by any ordinary
to Topeka to be confronted with the
problem that has occasioned the query
credited to that city's executive. Our
own little town, now containing close
on to half a million population, is
graphing with the same complicated
conditions, and we appear to be about
as far from a solution of the question
SIS our friends in the West.
If working for pay or Sunday is a
violation of the law it is difficult TO
ste INV dlg QAoAlil%Nioil YAH ~ HNtN
as to the class OF labor affected by the
statutes. The law does not make any
specific exceptions, and if it pleases
some people to pay for h pleasure OF
hearing a choir sing on Sunday why
should it BE contrary to the law to pay
for hearing a talented artist sing in a
theatre or public hall? If s~tereoptfcon
and moving pictures are used to illus
trate an address in some church OF
Sunday, why should we prevent the
same class of pictures from being used
in some other kind of a building? If
painters may not work why should
conductors and motormen be expected
or permitted to-?
OF course we are expected to use a
little Judgment in such matters, but
the law does not permit any such lati-
tude, and if a vigorous objection was

A NEW CITY
HE baf1ied attempt to get a grotesque city charter
the Legislature showed what partisan politics

Sa HE batied attempt to get a grotesque city charter bill through
the Legislature showed what partisan politics stands ready
to do in Il matter that should be entirely divorced from
partisanship. Until that piece of patchwork made its appearance
there was no partisanship in the deliberations on the charter ques-
ton. The men engaged in drafting a charter viewed 1t strictly
from a civic standpoint, as they now do. After having tentatively
prepared Il charter draft, they were dissatisfied with the scheme
of government it embodied. Their Investigations had irresistiby
led them to widely different conclusions, a. was shown at the meet
ing OF the Charter Commission last Friday night. 1t is observed
that the members of the commission agree as to the general prin-
ciple and differ as to details. Nor could it be expected that on a
subject of this kind there would be a harmony of views. But after
the Charter Commission shall have concluded its work and pre-
scented the results TO the public, means should be adopted for
general public discussions of the charter propositions. The Board
of Trade can. and doubtless will. make them the subject of debate
at meetings, and other civic bodies should show the same civic
interest. \ new charter means much for the future of Newark,
and for all of its citizens. every one of whom has an individual
interest in the question. When the next Legislature convenes the
Newark community should have its mind made up as TO the form
of charter it wants. 80

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The Jewish women seem to be the
only women in the city who have the
courage to stand up and assert their
opinion of the greediness of the meat
trust. The high price of meat affects
other classes as we'll. Why don't they
do something? Why leave all the fight
to the Jews? Let the Christians pitch
in and lend a hand. True, the Jews are
fighting for lower prices in their kosher
shops only. and we don't have kosher
shops, but We have butcher shops,
which need regulation in prices just
as bad.
The women of New York boycotted
meat in their fight for lower prices.
They did not get what they wanted,
u their method was all right. The
%boycotting of meat in Newark will
come nearer obtaining lower prices
than it did in New York, because this
city is smaller, and such action would
boycott be a general one and not con-
fined to one particular class? The Jews
have had the courage of their convic-
lions and have come to the front. Now
do. One way to reduce the high cost
of living is to lower the price OF meat.

West Orange cars mostly. The poor
residents of Clinton to~wnshipway often
had to wait seven or eight minutes for a
car, and one poor, l~ong-suffering young
lady had to WANT ten minutes one day
for a South Orange avenue car, only to
see it go by. {
But, Mr.. Editor, have you ever seen
or even heard of any complaint coming
from those Down Neck sufferers resid-
ing along the Kinney street line? I

twenty and twenty-five minutes at a

put in two years on a torpedo-bcat, in

Kinney street cars.
Mr.. Editor. / do not write this as a
complaint, but merely to give the
chronic kickers n knockers a slight
idea of what we have to suffer. We are
not accustomed to have everything at
our beck and call, like the kickers along

Ar.in.t Went Boycott.
or CT the Evening Star:

To the Editor Ct the Evening Star.
What real good does this boycotting
of meat do? If it does any good at all,
is it not offset by the harm done? Peo-
pie can't hope to break the trusts or
starve them out. Their resources are
too big. We are only doing harm to
ourselves and will not accomplish what
we are seeking.
What if everyone should boycott
meat? When packing houses could hold
no more they would stop buying. Then
the cattleman would have to stop rails
ing stock, the consequence of which
would be the scarcity of meat. Then
when the people could hold out no
longer the packers would unload on
them the cold storage meat at perhaps
a higher price than now because of the
scarcity.
One can't reduce meat prices by boy
cotting. Better get the Legislature to
investigate the trusts. Wait until
TEDDY comes back. He will fix them.

cS he Thirty-second Congress district of New York, comprising
the county of Monroe, is to elect a congressman tomorrow
to fill a vacancy. In 1908 this district gave a Republican
plurality of 10.167. The city of Rochester is in the district, and
George W. Aldridge has been supreme politically in city and dis
tricf. Aldmdge is involved in the insurance investigation in New
York. He acknowledges the receipt of II gift of $1,000. under cir
cumstances that have not been explained. The Republican can
didate for Congress is Aldridge. If there was no great prevailing
party discomfort in New York with Congress and the administra-
lion. .Adridge would win hands down, in spite of the insurance
Investigation disclosures. The question is whether party disafection
with the administration is as strong in this district as in the -Four
teenth Massachusetts,. where a Republican plurality of $4,000 was
turned into a Democratic plurality of nearly 5000. Supreme efforts
will be made by the Republican leaders to carry the district, TO save
the moral effect, but a large falling off in the Republican majority
is almost certain. anyhow. and it will have It's moral effect. just the
same. These special elections i'll Congress districts are exceedingly
embarrassing to The party in power. for the example of their vote
is Infections.

Mr.. Frederick Wilhelm sVoight,
who moved the FatherIand to con-
scrvative chuckles with a tall. thick
alleged practical joke. did not seem
to take very well with our immi-
grafton authorities.
Figuring the native supply of cut
ups was greater than the demand,
they forced Mr.. Voight to about
face when he set foot on our shores
and sent him right back home.
Which seems TO be the modern

tale told by Bill Nye of the

a group of Westerners to such q

sailed a mine in a de-splitting

pLAlNFlELD's WATER SUPPLY ELECTION

tn LAINFlELD will vote tomorrow on the water.supply ques-
liz lion, and apparently the verdict will be decidedly in favor
of giving to the Common Council the power to establish Il
municipal plant. Under the law, a municipality cannot take su, h
action unless authorized TO do so by a vote of the people. If the
authorization to act is given to the Council, it may in it's discretion
renew the present water contract or make a contract with another
water company or build a municipal plant. The understanding of
the voters is that the question to be decided is that of a public
supply. This proposition probably means the condemnation and
purchase Of all or part of the Planhed Water Companvs plant,
which will be held at a high figure. The company owns thf mains
and controls all the present accessible sources of water.

the lines of business that are allowed
to run unmolested on Sunday under

fO Y a recent enactment in Ohio it is provided that p per cent.
IIO of the voters of a city can petition for a special election on
the question of Sunday baseball, and the question must be

FR0GVlLLE RECESS.
BY FARMER SMITH.

HIS is the story Ethels father told her last night:
There was always a great commotion just
before rec es began. for the boys all got ready
to see who could get out the door first, for the last boy
out had to give part, of his lunch to the rest of them.
or course you would naturally think that the one
next the door would always be out first, but this was
Willie Treetoad, and sometimes he used to get so excited
that his feet wou Id stick to the door and the frogs would
have to play leap frog over his back to get out in a hurry.
one day some body rang the bell by mistake before
recess. and there was an awful time. Some of the frog
boys were way up in front of the school. and the rude
things paid no at tention to the little girls, but first
hoped right over their desks fippity flop, and made
for the door just as fast as they could.

If the people who look askance at
baseball, and especially Sunday base
ball, had a better comprehension of the
moral influences of the national game
they would greatly relax in their pre1u-
dices. We need not dwell or the bene-
fits of the open air and exercise,
which are moral as well as physical,
nor on the diversion from more harm
fui things that baseball affords. In Eu-
rope the governments provide enter
tainment for the people to keep down
popular discomfort. There is nothing
of the kind in this country. The
American people find their own diver
sions and the greatest of all is base
ball. When the baseball season is on
political bitterness disappears, com-
plants against government pass I'M
needed and people this year will even
forget high prices. Political managers
and candidates may be. making their
plans and scheming for advantage, but
the diamond field and the baseball
score will abide in the public mind and
politics and troublous public affairs
will have to wait until the %pennants
are lost or won.
