Appeal for war veterans.

the Editor OF the Evening Star:
In the old fable, the jackass, seeing a
sick lion. walked up to it and gave it a
vigorous kick. This reminds me of the
present condition of the old veterans Of
the Civil War.
In the early sixties orators went up
and down the country saying in sub
stance to the young workingmen and
farmers: Gentlemen, this is a time of
war. and we need men" The brave
young lions responded. When soldiers
became scarce IN account of heavy
losses in the war, rich men, like King
Richard, who was willing to give his
kingdom for a horse, were ready to
offer anything for a substitute, rather
than run the risk of loss of life or limb.
The veterans left more tina 100000 Of
their comrades dead on the field of bat
tie: MANY more died from wounds and
exposure, all because they risked their
life and health to save the Union and to
preserve the North from fire and rob-
berry. The veterans, by their bravery

THE PASSING OF A POLITICAL LEADER.

ca HERE will be no violent criticism of the action of Governor.
Fort in making a change in the presidency of the State.
Board of Equalization of Taxes by appointing Frank b. Jess,
of Camden, in place of Major Carl Lent. Usually in such cases
the political elements in a county object to a change that involves
the loss of a desirable officer to the county, but the Republican
County Committee in Essex, and even the Progressive Republican
organization, appear to be well resigned to the change. At least
there is not on record any protest or remonstrance from either
organization. 1t is true that our contemporary, the News, in an
editorial leader twentyfour hours before the appointment was
made by the Governor strongly urged the reappointment of Major
Lentz, but to the experienced observer that really meant his official
death-warrant. On the same evening at Trenton the aspect of
affairs for Major Lentz changed for the worse. But the long ss
pense is ended. The whilom leader of the Republican organization
in Essex will soon be out of public office, too Unlike David Baird,
who retains undiminshed his power as a party leader in South
Jersey, he does not return to private life to summon his leutenants
and cohorts around him, for they no longer acknowledge his
authority. But Major Lentz will not be at a loss to employ his
great activities. He is not the man to idly bewail adverse political
fate. He is too combatiye for that. And there is always a finish
somewhere to a political career. The wise politician foresees the
end, and is resigned to it.

LENT AND THE FISH TRUST.

x A r ITH the advent of Lent there will be the usual abstentiOn
WV from a meat diet by the many who are scrupulous in
observance of the ordinances of their churches. While
there will be a reduced demand for the products of the meat trust,
there will be an enlarged demand for those of the fish trust. Both
meat and fish prices are Unfortunately high, and are entirely of trust
manufacture, so in escaping from the meat brigand the consumer
falls into the clutches of the fish footpad. The grievance to the
people of New Jersey is worse in the case of the latter, because,
while the meat comes from the West, the fish which the New Jersey
consumer gets from three to six months old is taken out of New
Jersey waters, and the trust does not even pay a penny of tax to
the State for it's extraordinary privileges and is in no way incom-
NODDED by State regulations. The codstorage houses are packed
with frozen fish, the catch of last year, and it will be doled out in
Lent in quantities to keep the market ever supplied at top prices.
If the fish trust does not seize upon the preteXt of an unusual de.
mand and the exhaustion of the supply to advance prices still
higher. it will be in fear of hostile legislation. AT present, as far
as the New Jersey Legislature is concerned, the fish trust rests in
perfect security.

Sa HE halt in the Balinger investigation until the administra-
ton can have expert lawyers present to represent Balfinger
and to hector witnesses shows a keen sense of the political
dangers that are developing in the inquiry. The caution displayed
in respect to examination of papers and records of the interior
department by the counsel for Mr.. Pinchot is an evidence of alarm.
1t is now alleged that when BalIinger submitted his case to the
President last summer he withheld important records and that it
was upon this partial presentation the President gave to Ballnger
a complete clearance from the CLAWS charges. If these records
have not been "Iost' or altered they exist as proof, and it is the
undoubted right both of PInchot and CLAWS to have them sub
mtted in evidence. The announced purpose of the investigation
is to ascertain the facts, and documentary evidence is the best pos,
sible evidence. Why should access to the records be made difficult
for those who have charges to prove from them? And the records
are now under the control of the accused party. But the investi-
cation has reached a point where a great deal more than the fidelity
of the secretary of the interior to the interests of the government
is involved. The scandal taints the administration. Grave politi-
cal considerations are mixed up in the case. In defending Balinger
the administration is placed in the compromising position of de
Tending itself.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
While it is true that the cost of living
is high it strikes me that there are
many housekeepers who make it high
without warrant and, perhaps, in a per-
fectly innocent manner, by purchasing
articles SO that their ambitions readily
outstrip their limited purses. Here is
an example of what I mean:
The other day the wife of a nan Of
most modest means remarked: John
we must have a new coffee pot" "Well
that's easy" returned John, pointing TO
the pot on the table that had outlived
it's usefulness, ''seventy-five cents or a
dollar will do the trick" "What?" she
exclaimed, II want a percolator, SO, il
you pleased, 1t was more than a days

TO voice my feelings, and here they are:
The P. S. c. has told the Board of
Works hat if given more streets for
tracks the congestion on Market street
could soon be relieved. Now why does
not the Board of Works, in the interest
of humanity, try n meet the P. S. C.
representatives halfway? If matters
are allowed TO go on as at present
Newark will awake some day to find
that homeseekers are going elsewhere
because of the poor traffic facilities
offered here. It's a cinch that the P.
S c. wants to gather in all the nickels
it can, n is only too glad to con-
struct and maintain lines where ad-
ditional revenue will ensue.

MOST ASTONISHING.

Almost invariably an account OF
an unusual robbery contains such
phrases as these: "a posse is on the
trail of the burglars" or 'Detec-
tives are securing the country for
the fugitives.'
Therefore, it is most refreshing to
learn the bold bad bandits who at
tempted to rob the postoffce at Es-
sex Fells were actually caught in
the act.
Not the least marvellous feature
of the affair is the fact that a
chief of police was awake and on
duty at midnight. We do not be-
lieve we have ever seer any record
of a similar case.

THE UNUSED NEW JERSEY CANAL.

the canal and stife its competition. This policy has been pur-
sued in England and the United States very successfully. For
years the great railroad systems halted the Panama canal enter.
prise. The railroads in New York tried to get control of the Erie
canal, and they have done everything possible to cripple it's use
fulness. They fought desperately against the proposition to enlarge
the canal. In New Jersey the two canals we're permitted to pass
by lease into the possession of railroad companies. Both were
doing a profitable business at that time, and today their business
shows a large annual loss, which the railroad lessees patiently bear.
1t pays them to sustain this loss. a legislative committee is now
looking into the affairs of the Delaware and Raritan canal, owned
by the Pennsylvania railroad, but the committee can develop moth
ing that has not been known. The canal lessees are not operating
the canal to injure their railroad business, and they don't propose
to let anybody else operate it. What is the Legislature going to

as the worthy object deserves. 1t is a
sad fact that there are comparatively
few families that are wholly free from
the white plague" as it is so aptly
called. On the other hand, it is a most
encouraging fact that modern science
has buckled on an armor strong enough
and bright enough to make a good fight
against it's ravages. BY all means let

lNLIGHTED VEHICLES oN TIE HIGHWAYS.

II T is one thing to pass a law and another thing to enforce it,
The Legislature last year enacted that all vehicles on public
roads should carry lights at night. Some vehicles do, but the
great majority do not. Farmers generally pay no attention to the
law, and local authorities practically ignore it. Automobiles are
always lighted by lamps and are always visible on the highways at
night. 1t is the numbering country wagon that constitutes the
greatest danger of night travel on the highways. Il might be sug
gcstcd that some of the large income from automobile license taxes
be devoted to policing the country roads for a period long enough
TO teach wagon drivers that there is a law in existence for carrying
lights at night.
