AN APOLOGY.

We wish to apologize for a rather
amusing mistake which crept into
this column yesterday. We must
plead rush of work as an excuse.
We did not seek to mislead.
We announced we had received a
letter from Washington in which
the Presidents secretary sought to
arrange for his superior an audi
ence with us on the occasion of the
chief executives expected visit here.
We had merely glanced at the post
mark on the envelope and the en-
closed letter.
Now we find IN closer examina-
ton the letter was from Washing
ton, N. j., and Is signed by the pri-
vate secretary to the president Of
the newly formed New Jersey Horse
Thieves Association.
We will give o time to the ex-
animation of our correspondence in
the future before making any part
of 1t public.

~pIease Move Forward,

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-Now, at a time when prov
cribs are in season. 1 might say that
experience is the best teacher. and
yet some of the travelling public of
Newark do think it is not SO. 1t
seems to me that SO many people
who have been left standing at cor
ners waiting a chance to board a
trolley a would realize that there
is truth in the above-quoted
proverb.
Did they ever have the expert
ence of getting aboard a car, only
to find plenty of room in the for
ward part, when the back plat
form looked to be damned to it's
limit? Well, I have, and about as
often as seven out of ten cases.
Why can't they get to that wasted
space? Well, because the one ahead
of them can't move because the one
ahead of them won't move, and so
on. In order to get along In this
lovely world it requires a little sac
rifce on the part of oneself for
others and not just for yourself.
The biggest sacrifice in this partic-
ular instance is move a little for
ward when you're asked politely.
or. better yet, without being asked.
1t gives somebody a show, which
o wruld like at times yourself.
I have waited an winter before
writing this, because I wanted to
make sure I knew what I was talk
ing about, and after spending that

profanity produced during the year
1909 was directed at the alarm
clock. The alarm clock has thus,
in this respect, gravitated into the
position once occupied by the Amer
lean army mule. And that, too,
not because it neglscts it's duties,
but the reverse.
Is 1t any wonder, then. that the
alarm clock, emulating the low1y
worm and the lane of. moderate
length, turns now and then and as
serts itself. There was a ease of
the kind in this city the other day.
An alarm clock. goaded to despera-
ton, gave an imitation of a door
bell, with amusing results.
This particular alarm clock was
owned by a young man who de-
cided to get up at a certain APP
pointed time the next day If it took
a leg. as the saying Is. So he
strapped the clock, set for 5 a. m.
beneath his left arm. Promptly on
the second the faithful bell began
to ring c~unningly, Stimulating the
sound OF the door-bell. The young
man. full of bitterness and unused
sleep. walked down to the front

FRENCH K
AND REGENERATION

it's people have a wonderful stock of financial resources, and thew
also possess a more wonderful power of recuperation. There is
nothing in history more remarkable than the recovery Of France
from the exhaustion of great wars and other crises that drained
the nation of it's resources. The enormous indemnity to Germany
was followed by an increase of the national wealth that soon made
France the banker of Europe. The secret of this power is the
natural thrift of the French people, and that national trait will
quickly compensate the losses by the great floods.

More Fighting to Do.
the Editor Of the EvenIng Star:

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-I am an old Glouces-
tershire farmer, now settled In this
great and deeply interesting coun-
try, and lever took part in old
country party politics. though 1
took a prominent public position in
the advocacy of fair trade for up
ward of twenty years. Free trade,
which simply mean making Eng
land the dumping ground for all the
surplus products of the whole
world. is now doomed, and mod
crate duties on imported goods will
soon take it's place, with a customs
union between the mother country
and all e vast colonies, under
which they will be given preferen-
tial trading terms. 1t is a big
scheme that will consolidate the
British empire, = :
Is it any wonder hat lack OF
employment, pauperism and 80
cialism abound in the old country?
That one-time ardent radical, John
Morley (now a Peer, publicly
stated in 1889: ut is an awful fact
lit is really not short of awful
that, in this country, with all it's
wealth. its vast and all
it's power, 40 per c~ent.-that is to
say, nearly one-half-of the per-
ons who reach the age of go are
or have been paupers." The free
trade, radical policy of demanding
everything cheap has gradually
brought this state of things about,
and they had to pass an old age
pension bill to save paupers from
starving, at the cost Of many mill
ions yearly to the general taxpayer.
Now they nave been urging the
working classes to return them to
power so that they might pass an
insurance bill to provide the out
of-work with money to keep them
from begging.
What is it that brings about all
this pauperism and lack of m

to raise such large sums of money
to keep the workers from starva-
ton? Why. surely the opening Of
English ports free to the surplus
products and manufactures Of the
whole world.
The Republicans of the United
States tried free trade more than
once, and soon became more pro-
tectionist than ever. Germany
tried it, but in 1879 Bismarck threw
it over in disgust and returned to
protection. The Radicals have now
got their desserts and are between
''the devil and the deep blue sea-"
The Constitutional party is solid,
and in dead earnest against So
cialism. and the House of Lords is
still master of the situation. In all
probability the Irish party will now
join hands with the Constitutions
alists and get a moderate measure
Of home rule, and the Radicals will
soon be out in the cold again, but
a lot more fighting has to be done
yet. JAMES HUNT.

How Old Is vioIets

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-I was surprised to READ
in your paper the other day an
count Of certain Newarkers who are
making good on the b~urlesqus
stage. One who gave her name
as Miss Violet Lester declared that
she was born at III Elm street, this
city. That is not true, as I have
lived there for the past twenty
seven years, and my grand par
ents lived there before me. This
would make u homestead over 100
years old, and if Miss Lester in
sists that she was born here she Is
older than she states. Yours

Wants Canal Abandoned.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-"Let us make Newark a city
beautiful Seems to be the slogan
of all our patriotic citizens. a noble
sentiment and inspired, but there
is n di%sconcerting object which
seems to battle everyone, no mat
ter what the change suggested may
be-the Morris canal. Surely it has
outlived it's usefulness as a canal,
and why can't the efforts OF the
assemblymen who desire it's aban-
donment be successful? In the
upper sections of the city it is a
detriment to health, in the bust
ness section 1t blots the surface
which right minded citizens are
trying to make clean. Why?

TIC the Editor Of the Evening Star:

day, pointing to the new entrance to
the Postoffice in Broad street, that
it took as long to put that in the
shape it now is In as it took to put
up the Firemen's Insurance building

NO TARIFF WAR TO
HELP THE MEAT u

ment from the decided position it took in respect to or meat ex
ports to Germany, as the German government has not modified it's
refusal to abolish the regulations that are Objectionable to the
American meat trust. This change of attitude was inspired by the
popular uprising against trust prices of meat. The logic of that
revolt could not be lost upon the official mind at Washington. If
cattle are so scarce in the United States that the trust has been
compelled to put prices up almost to prohibhive figures, the Ger
man regulations are a benefit to the American people, and absolute
exclusion of American meats from Germany would be still better
for it would keep American meats at home and meat would be
cheaper. The truth is that there is no shortage of cattle, and the
best evidence of that fact is the anxiety of the trust to increase it's
meat exports to Germany at prices much lower than obtain
in this country. The meat trust has unwittingly offered a conclu-
sive reason why our government should not risk a tariff war for
the sake of promoting meat trust interests abroad, and it has like.
wise furnished an unanswerable argument for putting cattle and
meat products o the free list, where they belong.

CONSULAR REFORM
UP TO THE PRESIDENT

"a HHI o foreign TeIa-
tions having decided that Congress has no constitutional right TO
prescribe any method of appointment of consular officers, as the
power is lodged with the executive. Much has been done already
however, for reform in the service, and now that Congress- has
defined the responsibility the President will be encouraged TO insti-
tute greater reforms. The American consular service has been the
joke of the world. A mere refuge for political hacks. it has done
the government more injury than benefit abroad. The character of
lts personnel has been raised of late years, but there is vet a yery
large room for improvement.

1. Tired Of Canal.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-Please let me know il any
thing is "on" at this years Legis-
lature in the way of abandoning
that old Morris canal. It will soon
be the time again when flowers
will bloom in the spring, tra-la,"
and then that old open sewer will
get busy as usual. 1t is not SO bad
now, because the ice is keeping the
odor in a sort of cold storage. But
wait until 1t breaks up altogether.
and then there will be trouble! II
seems to me that it might be an
eaay matter to relegate the canal
into the lumber-room of the dead
past, together with toll roads and
other INSTITUTIONS" that were all
right in their day. MARTIN.

LEGISLATIVE BILL

viding for a courtmartial to pass upon the physical and mental
ability of an officer who has reached the age of 81 to perform active
field duty in a time of war and endure the fatigues and priyations
incident thereto. The bill completely covers the constitutional
point made by the court, and, as the method prescribed for renev-
ing wornout military officers will not apply to the Judiciary. there
is no apparent reason why the court will not pronounce it consti.
