which. taken at the flood, leads on
to fortune"
This applies to Fargo just now in
the strongest possible sense. There are
hundreds Of legitimate enterprises all
over the country looking for locations.
Many of these are especially adapted
to Fargo and TO North Dakota. They
can be had if the proper effort is made
in an intelligent and an aggressive
manner.
There comes in the history OF cities
and in the lives of men-opportun-
ities which, availed of, lead to success
bring growth--expansion
and industrial development-and pros
perity.
In the building OF great cities no OPP
portunity to attract more people-more
business more enterprises more
wealth can be neglected.
In the race of progress the city that
lags is-left.
Fargo's opportunity is now-not to-
morrow or next year-but today.
Is it being taken advantage of? Are
all possible efforts being made to de-
yelop the city as the metropolis of the
slater
A populous, wealthy country-dotted
with thriving towns and villages-sur-
rounds this city. Fargo is the natural
ceater for one of the greatest agricul-
tural regions on earth. The people
tributary to this city are clamoring for
closer commercial relations They
want more business enterprises in
Fargo, more factories, more wholesale
houses-so they can purchase all their
supplies here.
They want more direct lines OF COM
nication-especislly the people of
the southern part of the state. Better
and quicker transportation is demand
ed.
Isn't there enough things in sight
for Fargo to go after? Isn't the incen-
tive for great effort sufficiently strong
Has everything been done that could
be done? Is there not some way of
increasing the opportunities of Fargo
of taking advantage of the good things
that are merely waiting to be grasped
What are you doing to help?

HIS OWN MEDICINE.

Humor sometimes develops in the
most unexpected places. The decision
of Alvin Tate, superintendent of the
County Hospital, located at Memphis
| Tenn. is case in point.
! The superintendent, according to his
own statement. had witnessed thou
sands OF opaations. AT last he was
confronted with a predi lament ia
which an operation on himself was
urged.
He was taken down" with appendi-
citis-and a case % the most sevsre
type developed. Those who - under
the supervision OF the patient, hao
taken thouSsLds of bodies apart and
put them together asain--made prep
aration for an operation upon the SUI
perintendent. But they had reckoneG
without their host. That is TO say,
they had gotten out their scalpels
without comforting with the superin-
tendent.
The operation did not take place,
and the superintendent is said to be
making a satisfactory recovery.
The patient is quoted as saying that
appendicitis is nothing but IAN old
fashioned pain, durable by old fash
toned methods"
The public will be loath to accept
this decision. When those mysterious
cases OF cramps" developed prior to a
third of a century ago-and patients
died because their ailments could not
be definitely diagnosed-there was a
concerted effort in certain fields Of
| science to solve the mystery.
In due time the word appendicitis
| was coined, and thousands of opera
| tons which have been performed have
indicated that the name was etymolog-
ically right--and that a real triumph
in surgical science had been recorded.
But it apparently is as true today as
| it ever was that it makes a great diff
ference whose OK is gored. 1t is only
in accordance with an ancient law in
! human nature that the hospital super
intendent in Memphis-who was not
backward about prescribing heroic
remedies for others--was unwilling to
take his own medicine.

To the Editor Of the Evening star:
1t was very gratifying to read the
Item in the STAR OF May 7 that the
Central railroad officials had conceded
to the Common Council committee the
urgent necessity for a new station at
East Ferry street, and that the demand
would he INST in the near future.
The active interest in this attertake
by the aldermen is highly commend
able. Such services rendered for the
public good are very much appreciated
and are not soon forgotten by those
benefited, which in this case involves
the safety and comfort of all the people
in the Ironbound District, and it is with
pleasure we read in the same issue of
the STAR that hereafter the councilmen
viii receive some remuneration for their
services, although it is a small one.
Thanks are also due to the STAR for
the material aid rendered by publishing
in a prominent manner our worthy
appeal. A. c. NJ.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY II, 1910.
ESSEX AND HUDSON IN THE CENSUS.

1a HE relative positions of Hudson and Essex counties and OF
Newark and Jersey City in the census of population are always
of local interest in the two counties. BY the last census
Hudson had l49S79 population aud Essex 4O992s. The figures for
Newark and Jersey City were 2S3,2S9 and 232,699, respectively.
Iudson's first census was that of 1910. In that year Essex had
1851 and Hudson 9.4S3. Newarks population was 1880 and
Jersey fity.s 3O7o. When the Civil War ended, in 1865. Essex had
12I4f1 population and Hudson had advanced TO S9,S19. Newark
boosted S7,413 souls, as compared with 1881 in Jersey City. In
1880 IIudsons population was 1894, II about TWO thousand less
than that of Essex, and after that year Hudson took the lead and
kept it. In 1880 Newark showed Il population of l365Os. against
100 22 in Jersey City. In the present census Essex county must
overcome a lead of about 10000 to equal or surpass Hudson, and
Newark has a lead Of $500 for Jersey City TO overcome. The
greatest population growth will be in Northern New Jersey, and
especially in Essex, Hudson and Bergen counties, which in 1905
contained nearly one-half he States total population. The present
census will show that they contain Il considerable majority of the
inhabitants.

NEVER CAN TELL.

One disquieting feature of the big
mill for the heavyweight champion
ship of the world, which is to make
the nations birthday memorable on
the Pacific slope, has apparently
been overlooked.
Is it not altogether likely that, be-
ginning in 1911, many an uTchin, will
think all of the bulabaloo, speech
making and excitement which falls
to the lot of the great and signifi-
rant date in early July is INDUCED
in merely to celebrate the anniver-
sary of the great battle.
Imagine how startling might be
tho rejoinder of a young American
TO a benevolent query concerning
the aims and purposes of the sum-
nler holiday!
"Why do we celebrate today, my
little MANI"
because on dis day, in 1910, JEFF
fries knocked Johnson's block off"
1t is a mistake to permit too many
affairs of great moment to happen
on the same day and too much at
tention cannot be taken to prevent
any such catastrophe here.

lest she might create notoriety and
confusion, but it was a most distressing
circumstance, to say the least. The
observers noticed that every young
woman who passed by these fellows
was likewise insulted.
Cannot something be done in our
city to protect those who are in need
of our protection? If a police officer
is spoken to in such q case his reply
is that he cannot follow them because
he cannot leave his post, and he must
be in the neishborhood of his box in
order to properly turn in his report.
The officer cannot be blamed for this,
but ought not some arrangement be
made whereby in such cases an officer
might be privileged to follow and see
for himself, and. il need be, make an
arrest without being subjected to- q
penalty for not properly turning in mis-
bell az the appointed time?
1t is an outrage that a young woman
cannot walk the streets OF our city at
reasonable hours of tho day or evening
without being insulted by the lower
specimens of humanity, OF which there
appear to be so many in the disguise OF
good clothes.

Approaching the value of you paper,
permit me to use a portion OF your
space with the desire of enthusing our

a matter of greatest Importance to the
morals of the young people of our city.
II brief. my complaint is that one
evening about 7:30 O'Clock I, in COM

were walking down Clinton avenue and
noticed a well-appearing young woman
in front of us, when four young men,
whose faces are familiar about Newark
and, from Appearances, respectable,
We're seen to approach her, and keeo!ng
insulting remarks. This continued for
some time. when one of the four became
SO bold as to step Onward and at her
side attempt to take her arm and adj
dressed several Insulting remarks to
her. She, showing great wisdom, paid
no attention 10 him. The annoyance
continued, however, until Broad street
Was reached, where the young woman
dropped back among others going in
the same direction, as il to seek their
protection. When my companion and
myself turned from Broad street they
were still following the young lady, ana
as it happened that at that time no
persons happened to be at that point
these same low specimens of humanity
were seen to again approach and sur
round her. The girl evidently feared
to call to her aid anyone passing along

and was soon asleep.
Now it CHANGED that a detective
who was passing-though what a
detective should be doing in a park
passeth the understanding-recog-
nized the sleeper and sat down on
a bench hard by.
Many minutes did not elapse be-
fore the slumberer broke into a
rambling monologue about his cx-
ploit of the night before. which
happened to be the forcible entry of
a safe, and therefore peculiarly il
legal.
1t goes without saying that the
sleuth was all ears, and when he
had drunk in evidence, which later
sufliced to put his prey away for
twenty years. awakened the cracks

LoNG-RANGE CONSPIRACY SAFE.

IT n the greatly changed conditions Of life in the United States it,
is absurd that the physical presence OF a man must be estabI
lshed to be evidence of guilt OF conspiracy. The ronspiraepsl
that are entered into to artifcial1y increase The cost OF food arr not
hatcbed in a single room or a single town or State. Men living and
acting thousands of miles apart can enter upon agreements OF the
kind. 1t isn't necessary for them TO meet together. If meetings are
necessary they can be there by proxy, Men can orally converse
between Chicago and jersey City and between Chicago and Omaha,
and The telegraph and mails can carry long messages and docn-
iaents. IT is evident by the decision of the Governor in the case of
the extradiion of the meat packers that the penal law is defectivel

unwilling of the statues of Kosciusko and Pulaski at Wash

did men to whom today a tribute is paid gave their services to the
cause of American Independence and helped to bring about The

Nth those Of Lafayette, De kalb and Steuben, are ineffaceably
engraved on the american heart. MI these men We're of the nobility
