To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Answering the article in THE Peo-

signed 81. Mandenblatt," L beg to sub
nit for consideration another side to
the bearing of the immigrant tax law
on the open door, policy of the Uni
ted States.
While Mr.. Mandenblatt's article is a
good one and his argument able, never
theless it appears a trifle impractical,
and although the ''closed door" poll
Giles may have eliminated disastrously
for cities and countries such as Rome,
Babylon, Nineveh. Hyre and Sidon, one
must take into consideration the vast
difference in dates between that time
and the present era, and the fact that
this country hardly requires the as
sistance of any more foreign geniuses
in its enlightenment than 1t already
has.
Mr.. Mandenblatt also seems, in his
article, to have failei to take cogniz-
ance of the fact that this bill for the

Perhaps it will be a good thing. The

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Allow an obscure but honest citizen a
little space In the columns of "The Peo-
PIES Rostrum,'' in order hat he may
make an insignificant little kick TO jog
the memories of the well-meaning but
forgetful citizens of Newark and to
stir the conscience df they have any
of the elected representatives of New
ark.
In the municipal election of 1907 the
people of Newark voted by a large ma
jority for the establishment of a mu-
nicipal lighting plant, but up to the
present time no such plant has been
established.
The Public Service Corporation still
supplies the city with light at a large
profit to that corporation, and, If / mis-
take not, q new contract has beer given
to the p. S. c. 1t looks to me as
though the voters have beer fooled,
that the whole thing was a hoax to
catch the suckers (and I must admit
being one of hat variety of fish,
Whether any of our (?) aldermen
make anything out of it or not, one
thing is apparent, and hat is that the
interests of the p. S. c. come before
those of the people. / may be wrong
q hope 1 an), but it Anglers me to think
that in our boasted republic, where
democracy is supposed to reign, the
elected representatives of the peo-
pie fearlessly, criminally disregard the
will of the people. 1t is very serious.
The only people, besides the p. s. c.,
who really benefit from such action on
the part of our politicians are the So
cialists. I learned from n of them the
other day that nothing pleases them
better, for. the same thing happened in
Milwaukee and was the direct cause of
the Socialistic victory. Must the same
thing happen. in Newark? Yours sin

H RENoM1NA7ED ESSEX AssEMBLYMEM

IT T would be farcicaI to say that the Essex members OF me Legs
lature this wear who came up for reelection were nominated II
TUESDAYS primaries because Republican sentiment III Essex
county supports their acts in the Legislature. The Progressive he
publican leaders who made a vigorous but unsuccessful enoft TO
retire these men from legislative life made their records toeraply
clear i'm the primary campaign and more than eleven thousand he
publican voters went to the polls to testify their condemnation OF
these records. The issue in the Republican Assembly contests was
4ha+ no .ssenobI,,nen seeking denomination were unfit, that they
had violated their duty, that they had been subseryent TO specal
interests and that it would be unsafe to send them back to the
Legislature. In the case of one of the delegates regular organization
representatives in East Orange revOlted against his denomination
for special reasons of unftness. There was a large number OF he
publican voters who fully shared the objections of the eleven thou
sand opponents of the regular Assembly candidates and who did not
yoteo OF Tuesday. They will doubtless be heard from In November.
Nor is it reasonable TO believe that the eleven thousand voters IN the
primaries who wanted to retire the assemblymen on their records
will be inconsistent enough to vote to send them back to the Legsla
ture to do again the things they have been excoriated for.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
There are numerous postcards of a
vulgar and obscene kind going through
the mail, and I wish to say that the
postofice is no doing its duty in this
regard. Such cards ought not to go
through the mail, but be destroyed inn
mediately on reaching the office.
Surely no person of any self-respect
would want to be disgraced and shamed
by receiving such postcards. A man,
in the true sense of the word, does NOT
want to be classed as having for a
friend a stupid, foul and low-based per-
son, as only they who send such cards
can be.
1 hope other men will take action in
this cause and clean u this rotten
stuff which we find not only In post
cards. but also in connection with bill
boards. advertisements and some mag
azines. Replace it with clean, upright
and noble objects which will save the
youths of today from being corrupted
by such scurrilous pictures as go about
so loosely nowadays.

CENSORSHIP OF MOVING PICTURES.

cTTa HE advisory board of the State penal and charitable institu-
lions recommends that a strict censorship be maintained over
all moving picture shows, to prevent the attendance of chill
dren without parents or guardians. The moving picture show would
be safe enough for children if the censorship should be on the char.
of the pictures exhibited. Prize-fghts, robberies, murder
scenes and pictures conveying immoral suggestions should be placed
severely under the ban, and managers of shows who exhibit such
nctnres should be criminally prosecuted. Laws and regulations
re of little account unless they are properly enforced, and, there
fore. in all cities special officers should be detailed to make a con
slant round of the moving.picture shows to detect violations.

NO COMPROMISE IN FRACTIONAL FIGHT

1TA HE fight for control of the Saratoga convention between ne
Barnes Woodruff "od guard and Lloyd Griscom was not
decided by the party primaries. 1t will be taken INTO the
convention. 1t directly involves the question whether Roosevelt or
Vice -President Sherman shall be the temporary chairman, ana that
question involves the character of the convention nominee and plat
form, whether they shall be Progressive or react1onafy, The pt-
terness of the struggle that has been going on ever since Barnes,
Woodruff and sherman turned the trick of naming Sherman for tenn
porary chairman to shut out Roosevelt forbids the idea OF com
promise and harmony at Saratoga. Compromise is not in the Roose
welt lexicon. while the "od guard is conscious that Its existence
depends OF an uncompromisng front and a fight to the hnsh.
There are conflicting claims of the rival factions as to their delegate
strength. and probably it will take a vote of the convention to
determine which faction is uppermost. But in what kind OF shape
will the Republican organization in New York be after the con-
yention fight is over no matter which faction shall prevail?

CANNON CONGRESSMAN AS TARGETS.

m Ii the six Cannon congressman in this State will have been re
NV nominated and the one Republican congressman who is anti
Cannon has been retired in his district and a candidate more
in harmony with Cannonism will be the convention nominee. To get
u fair souare kick at Cannonism it is necessary that this odiOus type
in our government should be represented in a candidacy at the polls.
There is only half satisfaction in voting a discredited candidate
down in a party primary. There is full satisfaction in knocking
him ont after he has labored and sweated to secure the nomination.
New Jersey Republicans who are not reactionares and who believe
that political parties exist for the people and not for selfish private
interests are as inveterately opposed to Aldrichism and Cannonism
as are the Republicans of the West, and are also as much disinclined
to send a Cannon man back to Congress simply because he wears the
marty Iabel.

Progressives? Are they so fond of

Discussion to stimulate Thought.

DtscussiOh 10 StifHutHtt IHouEnts
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
l have admired your Peoples Ros-
rum eve since it became a feature
of your newspaper, and have always
found It to be interesting and instruc-
tive reading. But I think that you
can go a step farther. 1t is this: That
you open this column to people who
not only wish to express their opinions
on topics of the day, but who want
to discuss them in such a way as to
bring forth the arguments and re-
sponses of others who have given
thought along like lines. For instance,
let some one start a discussion as to
the high cost of living and her let
some one else answer. In this way a
great deal of most interesting infor-
nation may be spread among the peo-
pie, and as it is the people to whom
your rostrum appeals most, as its name
indicates, l thirk this sort of a sub
ject, discussed in this way, would win
many new readers for a column that
is always instructive. OF course, in
these discussions, l would eliminate
politics Inc religion, as they would be
endless and of no practical value.
