increased. but you know the aver

much as 10 did in 1870. We are

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
That the people of Newark, the great
majority working people, are being
cheated by light weights and short
measures used by crooked dealers has
been suspected for a long time, and now
City Sealer Sullivan says it Is true and
so does Robert L. Stevens's research
committee, which has investigated
Newark and ten other New Jersey mu-
inequalities.
The sealer says that working people
are losing from . to is per cent. on more
thar half the purchases they make. He
blames the Republican majority in
Common Council for cutting two in
spectors from his force on the plea of
economy, but really because of politics.
He has only three assistants now, not
half enough to enforce the law. which
requires that all the weights and meas
ures in this big city be inspected once
a year.
Mayor Haussling will order an inves-
tigation of the complaints OF neglect
and favoritism by aldermen who are
members of the weights and measures
committee. He should make the inves-
tigation thorough. There ought to be G
law providing for severe punishment
for dealers proved to be using shori
weights and measures, for 1t is a crime

mposIT1oNs BY TIE EXPRESS Trust.

NAV HEN the next session of Congress meets petitions should
WV pour into Washington from all parts of the land for the
enactment of a bill for a parcelspost system TO relieve the
ueonle and business interests from the exactions of the express
companies, which are all combined virtually in a trust. The rates
charged by these companies are all that the traffic can bear, and
there is no remedy against this extortion except by action OF Con
sress. In addition to the high rates, people who send packages are
subject to gross impositions by oyercharges. The weight of pack
ages called for is roughly guessed by the drivers, and a shipper
pays according to guess. Packages sent G. 0. d. are paid for ac-
cording to weight, and he doesn't know whether the weight charged
for is correct or not. Shipper and receiver are at the mercy of the
companies and their employees. If the employee overcharges it is
no concern of the company, which gets its charge according to the
real weight and is satisfied with that without looking any further.
Obviously, there are opportunities open for graft at the expense Of
the shipper or receiver. \ parcelspost would so systematic the
shipping of parcels, up TO ten or eleven pounds, as to insure the
proper amount of weight, as we'll as the lowest possible rate for
the service. 1t is unnecessary to say that such a service, while net
ting the government millions of new revenue, would save to the
people of the country millions of dollars annually.

Progs Who Are and Frogs Who Are Not
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In a speech made at the meeting OF
the Bergen County Progressive Repub-
lican League Ut Hackensack Monday
night William p. Martin, Of Newark,
q Progressive leader, who was a cam
didate for the Republican nomination
for governor, said the Republican
party in New Jersey must be reorgan-
lied and the old leaders be retired.
Who will succeed the old leaders?
Can William 2. Martin be trusted by
the rank and file of the Progressives,
a man who has for several years de-
ilounced in speeches and In newspa-
pers not only the Republican leaders
but the Republican legislators, and yet
when the same old gang were nomi-
mated for the Assembly in Essex county
he spoke at Republican meetings In the
campaign for their reelection? He
abandoned his Progressive principles
because he is ambitious for public
office.
But on election day i and a great
many Progressives like me in Essex
county, voted for our principles and
helped to elect eleven Democrats to the
Assembly who stand for what we stand
for, and Progressives in Bergen county
must have done the same or the Demo-
Gratis would not have swept the county
as they did. 1 say, as many other true
Progressives do, let William p. Mar
tin and all turnstile would-be political
leaders of his type take a back seat as
a Progressive leader hereafter. The
Progressives can get leaders who will
be true to our principles at all times.

Praise for symphony Society.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
All lovers of the "art divine in this
city should be grateful over the fact
that some of It's citizens have been
enterprising enough and unselflsh
enough to organize the Newark Sym
phony Society. May 1t be many years
before its last note has been sounded
Newark has had many fine musical
organizations in it's day that have
faded away, n by one. largely be-
cause the dear public. generally speak
the mighty dollar than In a tonal poem.
While 1t was fashionable for a time to
attend or ~"patronize," as they called
it, some high-class society. the real
love for music was not there and the
societies first fourished nightly and
then gradually died of inanition.
OF course, the German singing socie-
ties, some of them more than half-a-
century old, are asfvigorous and active
as ever, and large audiences encourage
their work in a field in which the Ger
man is an acknowledged master. But
the conditions among these societies
are different from those that pertain
among organizations without the social
features that are part and parcel of the
German vereins.
If the Newark Symphony Society is
to live. 1t must have the backing of a
general public to whom good music
and good music alone is of paramount
interest. B. A. E.

Wal is illogical. The art OF war is
being perfected always for tearing
down purposes. New implements of war
which meet greatest favor are those
with the greatest powers of destruc-
ton. In testing merely a new explosive
Tuesday naval officers sacrificed a per-
fectly good monitor. Had the monitor
withstood the explosion the new ex-
plosive would have been branded i'm
m~ediately u failure. Highways. public
buildings and monuments are pernla-
nent investments. Money spent in
guaranteeing the efficiency of modern
lighting forces on land and sea is
quickly dissipated. One broadside from
a modern battleship in target practise
scatters to the -four winds a consid-
cradle fortune. The i~nvincible S12, 00o, 900
Dreadnought of today is the llopelessly
old~-fashioned training ship Of tomor-
row. And yet, to the contrary notwith-
standing and nevertheless, it is always
possible that a situation may arise to
justify all of the enormous expenditures
for wal purposes. But for the fact that
a large percentage of such moneys was
diverted to private pockets Russia
might still be. the dreaded bear that

EFFECT OF A voT1NG MACHINE BLUNDER

Sna HE chairman of the Democratic National Committee voted 4
II straight Republican ticket in his home district i'll Rochester
on election day. He voted that ticket because he was per-
picked by the levers of the voting machine, and he voted it by mis-
take. As it happens, that vote, mistakenly poued, decided the
congressional election i'll the Thirtysixth Congress district. 1t
made the election a tie, whereas if it had been counted for the Demo
cratic candidate he would have been declared elected. The circum-
stance shows the Importance of a single vote in an election. 1t
also goes to sustain the now almost universal objection to machine
voting. When men of the intelligence of National Chairman Mack
are unable to work a voting machine correctly, what can we expect
of the great majority of voters of less intelligence?

THE CAUSES FOR DECLINING PRICES.

O. ECRETARY WILSON, of the agricultural department, had
explanations to give of the reasons for high prices while
the political campaign was in progress. He explained that
they were due to shortage in the crops and meat supply. Only a
few weeks have elapsed, and therefore the crop and meat supply
conditions cannot have changed. But now the secretary is out with
Il opinion Is to the cause for the sudden fall in meat prices. He
said it is due to the large crops of corn and oats and the drought.
Secretary Wilson, like other representatives OF his party, was IN
willing to give the real causes for the great rise in prices of neces
saries, and he is unwilling now to give an honest explanation Of
why the prices are declining. Like all the rest, he keeps away FROM
the tariff and the trusts. He wants to make it appear that the
results of the election have had nothing to do with the decline.
This obstinacy units Mr.. Wilson to tell the truth to the people
about the causes that influence the cost of living.

THE COMMUTERS CASE REHEARD.

cts HE Interstate Commerce Commission now has the question of
communication rates under consideration, and a decision will
probably be announced before the new year. When the
commission held its hearings in Washington last summer it was
made evident enough that the sympathy of a majority of the com
mission was not with the commuters. Attorney-General Wilson
did not present as strong a case as it was believed he might have
done, and subsequently, prior to the election, the attorney-geural
was criticised by the Commuters League for his inactiOn. Perhaps
with q better presentation this time and more zeal ON the part of
tbe State q different decision will be had.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
When our new Board of Works gets
together for the new year l wish 1t
would take up a matter that has been
agitated for years by the progressive
residents of Roseyille. That Is, the
building Of a bridge across the Morris
canal at Third street, so that 1t will
not be necessary. In order TO get into
beautiful Branch Brook Park. to go
either down to the Eighth avenue en-
trance or to Fifth street. These en-
frances are q good half-mile apart. A
bridge at Third street would cut that
distance In a fair half.
The project surely Is most inexpen-
sive, and at the same time It Is most
important not only to those who desire
to enjoy the park on foot, but to those
who go there in carriage or auto.

Breathitt county, Kentucky, is MT

ly to focus public attention. There is
perhaps no county in all of the States

hit. The scenes in one of the new
autumn Broadway productions are a

gests n w~hiskey, not ex-French

Is responsible for whatever agitation

Critic Gave Concert Absent Treatment.
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Will you kindly answer through your
columns, for the benefit of an inqulring
citizen, how a criticism can be given
Of anything when the critic was not
present.
One Of Newark's Sunday papers pub
lished an account of a concert, given
last week by a well-known society. I
am well aware of the fact that the
critic for that paper had been refused
admittance. The criticism was false
from beginning to end. The concert
was especially fine, and everybody was
thoroughly pleased. J. have attended
the concerts OF that society for the past
fifteen or sixteen years (and other
musical organizations as welD, and
during that time the criticisms of that
special critic have always been sarcas-
tic, unjust and untrue.
The orchestra was spoken Of as anna
tours. Well, il the members of the
New York Philharmonic and Mr.. Her
bert Doctor are amateurs, then, in the
name of goodness, what is that critic?
To ME it looks like a spiteful and re-
yengeful pack of f~alsehoods by that
critic, for his only too well deserved
treatment by the society.
In no way whatever am 1 connected
with the society. 1 buy my ticket for
every concert and enjoy them thor
oughly.
What is 1t that makes that critic so
sour? Is 1t because the society has not
made 1t worth his while? II that is the
case. where are we to look for honest
criticisms? ENA WELLS.

MANIPULATING THE STOCK MARKET.

cTA HERE was no concealment yesterday of the fact that the stock
market was absolutely controlled by manipulation. 1t
usually is, but yesterday the fact was made SO plain that the
most innocent lamb could not fail to be aware of it. Stocks went
up and down according as the operating clique gave or took away
support. As a general rule Wall Street is a great gambling house,
where the cards are stacked for the unwary. Thousands of men
have lost their all in the Street by methods worthy only of the
bighwayman. 1t is a question if the dishonesty so widely prevalent
in commercial life is not due in great part to the influence that
flows from stock speculation and stock manipulation in Wall Street.

OUR FUTURE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

~ OvERNOR FORT told the grangers at Atlantic City last
W.T. night that he hoped to return to the farm he left forty years
ago. Cincinnatus and his plough has always been an adj
mired picture in history. Cincinnatus retired from the cares of
state to find repose in agriculture, and if again the cares of state
drew him back into public life it was only because the state was
in danger. Let US hope that the retirement and repose of the future
Governor farmer will not thus be rudely broken up by any emer
eencY cal from the State.
