4 GREAT idea.

DR.. Lowells discovery that work
on the magnificent canal system of
Mars is being pushed right ahead
should be of great local interest.
There has been talk in these parts
of abandoning the Norris canal.
Some opposed the scheme because
they hated to think of the beauti-
fun fleet of boats which now ply
the waters of the canal lying idle.
Why not interest the Marian cap
i~talists who are back of the work
in the canal zone of the sister
planet in a proposition to- take owe
the Morris canal flotilla? OF course,
there might be some difficulty in
transferring the boats, but surely
in this age of progress American
ingenuity should be able to over
come them. Think. it over.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-Although a resident of
Paterson, | have business interests
in Newark, and am therefore CON-
PEELED to commute daily. | have
open to me two means of so doing,
viz: the Paterson trolley, which
consumes n hour and a half, and
the Erie railroad, the station of
which is situated at the base of
Fourth avenue.
There have been countless jokes
recited concerning the service of
the, Erie. and its poor service is SO
notorious that it publishes on its
time table a column entitled:
What Others Say of U.s., But |
will relate my experience Friday

any of the comics so far written.
BY running to catch the car 7
made the station in time for the
6:35 train. Here l found about fifty
others, all anxious to get home
early for the holiday preparations.
AND there we waited and continued
to wait until not only the time for
the 1902 train had passed, but until
the Sol train rolled in. And this
without yer the satisfaction of the
station agent being courteous
enough to give us any information.
While I am at it, l might call at
tention to the running time of the
trains: sos, 7:15, 10.11, 1910, 1925,
400, 500, sos, 6:35. 7:o2, SOL, 1925,
12:4S. Can you beat this? And
then, notwithstanding the fact that
there is good travel on the road,
the station is about the filthiest hole
l have ever seen.
l think this is a good subject for
your Board of Trade to place before
the RailroadlCommission. for it GER
tainly influences trade and travel
between the 1.-TWO cities. l am about
disguised and am ready ito close
out my business in this city simply
for that reason. And l am but one
OF many. Sincerely,

"A NEW MOVEMENTFO
LOCAL HOME RULE

pass an act enabling the municipalities to rule themselves in all
matters relating TO life, health and property not inconsistent with
the general statutes. There has been a singsong of home rule for
cities for many years. The word has appeared in many political
platforms, in Governors messages, in resolutions by civic bodies
and in speeches on the stump, but we are no nearer municipal
1ome rule than before. When eighty-one men convene at Tren
on as a State Legislature they feel that they are the sovereign
and that it would be derogatory to the legislative power to RESIGN
any control of the counties and cities. And they don't. The next
Legislature will be like all the rest. Perhaps if the municipalities
form a combine and agree upon a program and then move upon
the Legislature an act will be PASSED; but not till then.

THE TRAVELLING
LIBRARIES

gradually taken hold, and has now outgrown its facilities. There
are not enough books to so round. The commission, in it's annual
report just issued, shows that there are 257 Of these libraries. and
they are in such demand that applications for them have to be
rejected. Cities and towns and welLtodo suburban places have
their local Libraries. The total of their books, as listed by the StNte
librarian, is 1,196,297, while there are 1,166 books in the States
travelling libraries. These circulate among the villages and hamlets
where no public library facilities exist, and that they re doing n

WHAT Mr.. TAFT
WILL RECOMMEND

roads and trusts is interesting. The President deems the Sherman
antitrust act sufficient, under the rulings of the court, and does
not favor amending it. Additional powers are to be given to the
INTERSTATE Commerce Commission, and certain new rules and regu-
latIons are proposed for railroads in regard to combinations. rates.
etc. No railroad is to acquire stock in a competing railroad, and
me commission must first approve the issuance of bonds n stocks.
a national Incorporation act is recommended for corporations other
than railroads, but it will not be compulsory. The theory is that
the great industrial corporations will come in as a matter of
prudence, That recommendation is in harmony with former Senator
Drydens proposition for Federal incorporation of life insurance.
The subject is as broad as the United States, and in it's features
new and novel to Congress, and it is extremely doubtful if the presi.
dents recommendations, as outlined, will be. turned into legislation
by this Congress at either session.
