GOOD GOVERNMENT.
An Advocate of Caution.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-In discussing the Crippen case,
Beatrice Fairfax says:
There is one thing that all girls
should bear in mind when they find
themselves drifting into an entangle-
ment with a married man, they
are travelling a path which a only be
retraced with bitter tears and anguish
And verify she is right in her conclu-
sion. Personally, l believe most young
women are %actuated by the very best of
motives. To illustrate: A case was
called to my attention nearly two
years age of a young girl who sought the
acquaintance of a young married man.
because she believed him to be a hero.
because he bore himself as one in her
eyes while suffering from a crime which
he had not committed. Later she found
that they had many things in common
music, ambition, the arts, literature,
church work, etc. As a matter of fact,
1t fell to this young mans lot to shield
ner from a threatened wrong from
another source, for which her parents
fguratively fell at this young mans
feet and thanked him. The father and
the young man became fast friends
after that. The mother died. Then the
father, in the presence of his house,
hold, virtually made this young man
the guardian OF the girl. He acted in
that capacity and risked his life to
prevent the girl from running away
from her bereaved father. Afterwards
there were MISUNDERSTANDING, which
three minutes of ommon-sens talk
could have righted. The sequel to the
story is this: There were tears and
remorse, strife and ill-feeling, two
families disrupted and set at variance,
a church divided into warning factions,
much sorrow and misery caused, and a

The Milk Problem.

The MILK Problem.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-We are using acres Of paper and
rivers Of ink devising plans to produce
milk. The is chatting under
the delusion that he is paying too much
for food; the farmer with his broad
acres, with all his up-to-date equip
ment, has to do all, or nearly all, the
work on his dairy farm himself; the
dealer and the delivery nan have the
data and the figures to show that they
are losing all the time; possibly If the
old COW and the rest of US have got
the world into so much trouble we had
better look for a remedy. Up at the
farm We have a r, F. D. man. He
drives twenty-four miles every day;
boxes and gets three cents a box; with
us it is no box, no mail; no stamp, no
go. Our mill1nen that have a few
thousand people yarded on good road
all close together, should be able to de-
liver every day to 400 and should. be
satisfied with 81, providing he had no
handicap, had a free hand as does the
rural man. This man need not COM
mand the high wage of a salesman CT
manager; possibly the farmer could
assume that responsibility; the farm
ers furnish most of the capital. That
part of it would not be difficult II they
made it a cash business. 1t would be
doing a very old business in a very new
way to put system into it on the plan
of the United States mail delivery or
the railroad plan of transportation. We
as a people are not slow to combine; we
do not hesitate to adopt new n i'm
proved la~bor-saying devices.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
While on my way home the other
night about 11:3o, something on the OPP
posite side Of the street attracted my
attention, and one OF those elevated
scuttle-hole covers nearly caused me to
break my neck. The proprietors of
those places who have the covers lifted
in the daytime for ventilation purposes
should either put them down at night
or leave a light so that they will be
visible.

Of blacksmiths were charged with OBJ

Insurgency in Bloomfield.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
Politics In Bloomfield is assuming a.
very peculiar shape. The announce
nent that William P. Sutphen is will
Ing to serve another term has not
created any wave of popularity as yet.
In fact, the pronounced action of the
Council upon the liquor question dur
ing the last year has attracted the at
tention of conservative people, and
there are a good many Of them.
A very great many of the most re-
spected citizens believe it is better to
exercise a moderate control of the ex-
else question in these days of tolera-
ton.
The New Idea insurgent element
through their recognized leader, H. L.
Osborne, are said to have made an III
qualified promise 70 Joe Charles, of the
First ward, If he would withdraw from
the contest for member of Council they
would support him this fall. Promises
like pie crust are made to be broken,
and now they tell him there was a
string tied to the promises; that is, II
was his if Murray didn't want 1t.
Murray, who really is a Democrat,
wants it. So now, because insurgents,
New Ideas, do not keep their word
people are in trouble. Charles is in the
field to stay, win or lose.

didate for member Of Council from the
Second ward, will have two candidates

in his peterborough State, and he resists the importu-
mites of his friends and even the wishes of President Taft,
his protege in craftsmanship Mr.. Aldrich will break his naughty
rule of never replying to an accusation. He intends, for the party's
sake, to answer Senator Bristows charges that he manipulated the
rubber and cotton schedules of the tariff bill for his personal in
terest. 1t is the purpose of Senator Aldrch to go West and make
a speech, in which he will reply to Senator Bristow. The Rhode

all the party representatives at Washington, and his speech there
will be an event to look forward to.

NOTHING TO REJOICE OVER.

1TaHERE cannot be, at least to the consumer, any reason for Jubl-
" lation over the fact that the PayneAldrich tariff has been
more productive of revenue than any previous tariff. The in
crease means only that the government has taken so much more out
of the pockets of the consumers. And every dollar of additional tax
to the government means also a hundred dollars paid by the con
sumner to swell the income of the trusts and combinations that are
entrenched behind the tariff and have complete control of prices.
The much higher prices paid since the Payne-Aldrich tariff went into
operation have imposed an additional expense upon the people of
hundreds of millions in a single year. In view of this enormous pen
atty how can the people rejoice because the PayneAldrich tariff,
which fries out more of their fat than former tariffs did, has in
creased the customs receipts?

oTa HE New York Sun makes an estimate of 10000 as the size OF
the automobnists' vote in New Jersey opposed % the election
of Senator Frelinghuysen for governor. The Sun assumes
that this exaggerated number of voters is to be deducted from the
vote polled for Fort in 1907. Governor Forts total vote was 194,9l3,
so if the SUMS estimate is correct not far from one-half the Repub-
lican vote of 1907 was polled by voters who own motor cars II are
in some way interested in them. If $4,000 Republican motorists and
their friends should vote against Freinghuysen as a candidate the
plurality for the Democratic candidate for Governor would be not
less than 10000. The Sun may as we'll revise its figures. Ten per
cent. of 10000 would be a liberal estimate. And it would serve all

To the pdItor Of the Evenins Star:

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In view of the startling disclosures
made by Senator Frelinghuysen and his
Senate Investigating Committee, which
has been examining the conditions in
the various boards of education Of the
State since the Legislature closed it's
last session, 1t seems to me that it
would be a good plan to urge that the
next Legislature appoint a committee
to examine into the methods of the
councils, township committees and
other governing bodies OF the munich
palities of New Jersey. The evidence
of graft. large and small, abuses of va
rious sorts and incompetency and lack
of business ability on the part OF the
school commissioners In the towns and
cities visited up to date would lead
one to suspect that the common
ellis or other boards responsible for the
government of the municipalities have
been guilty of even greater abuses than
the members of the boards of educa-
ton. The Senate committee stumbled
on a mares nest in the very first place
visited, Atlantic City. and in Hudson
County practices Of which even the
residents of the places visited were IN
aware were brought to light. Why not
investigate the municipal governing
bodies? Their members are given op-
portunities of misusing public funds and
of doing the other things which the
school board members have acknowl-
edged being guilty of in a far greater
than those making up the lat
ter boards. CITIZEN

applies TO Washington during a session of Congress. 1t was there
