To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
In view of the frequent strikes
that have occurred during the
course of construction of several of
the big buildings in the vicinity of
the -Four Corners, the necessity of
having some means of speedy set
tlement has become more than APP
parent. This necessity, TO DO sure,
has been present from the begin
ming Of labor troubles-from time
immemorial The large percentage
of recent strikes settled by arbi-
tration point to one thing with cer-
tainty-a permanent board of arbi-
tration.
Let this board be composed OF
disinterested parties. half chosen,
let lis say. by the Board of Trade,
representing capital. and half by the
Essex Trades Council, on behalf of
labor. AS l understand from the
evening papers, that is the plan de-
cided on to settle the Prudential
strike. Why not take action on a
plan of this kind? Yours sim
cerely, r. C. FORSYTH.

Governors Insincerity.


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-Governor Forts last
message rings insincere in at least
two glaring instances. In the first
place he urges that we give thanks
to the God of u fathers and our
God for His beneficent providence
toward u.s." Had our fathers a diff
ferent God? The belief of all Chris
tians is to the contrary. They know
only one Supreme Ruler. To give
thanks to the Almighty is praise
worthy. To differentiate our Maker
proclaims a lack of religious knowl-
edge, or indicates the presence of
hypocrisy.
In the second place, the Governor
shows ingratitude In his treatment
of the saloons. He realizes, he says,
that the saloons are in politics, but
claims that his own election in 1907,
and tho senatorial contest in Pas
sale in 1909, prove that there is no
cause for fear from this influence.
In the Governors case there was
indeed mo cause for fear" but one
rather for gratitude. If it were not
for the saloon interests he would
not be Governor of New Jersey to-
day. In his own county of Essex,
where the liquor interests were
harrassed and oppressed and where
law and order were supposed to pre-
vail under the rule of Sheriff SOM
mer. the people were amazed TO see
a nominal Republican majority of
10000 replaced by a Democratic VIC
tory. In Essex law and order were
in the ascendency, but Governor
Fort lost, In Hudson a Republican
Mayor was seeking reelection, and
rallied all interests to his support.
The saloon interests We're o
aged, not repulsed. An easy going
sheriff in that county saw no vio-
lations of Sunday or other laws. In
consequence the liquor interests
gave earnest support 10 Governor
Forts candidacy, with the result
that he received enough votes in
that liquor-ridden county TO insure
his election.
Is ii necessary to go beyond this
to prove the Governor. at the very
least, a little %ungrateful, il not in
sincere? Very truly yours.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-When / read in a newspaper
a few days ago the complaint of the

to think that there we're any in their
ranks who thought they were badly
used. The most of them earn about
or more than $25 a month, with
home and board provided, while
many of the shirtwaist-makers have
no more oil very little o a month
with which to provide home and
board and. keep themselves in clothes
in this cold weather. Some ofsthose
girls may have an aged mother to
help, or an orphaned brother or sis
ter. Servants generally have steam
heated kitchens or other rooms to
rise in and work in, while the waist
makers may have to turn out with
out any breakfast in the cold.

Dislike. House Moving.

10 the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Sir-Let US hope that when an
other move is made to move houses
across the trolley tracks, the specta-
Gle of belated passengers will not be
quite SO moving as it was this
morning on the Roseville line. It
appears that certain houses in High
street. n three-story brick at that,
nave to be moved across Orange
street. As today's flying machines
are not sufficiently strong to hook
up such a house. sail it over trolley
wires and quietly drop it over its
new cellar. it became necessary to
tangle up traffic as it has never be-
o beer tangled up in that section
of the city. While houses are not
often moved, I consider this tanele
but another argument in favor OF
underground wires. GILBERT.

SEA GRIT AND
THE NATIONAL GUARD

the abandonment of Sea Grt by the State Guard and sending the
guard into temporary camps in the northern part of the State.
The committee member belongs in Sussex, and military camps in
Sussex would be profitable to the farmers and dairymen and the
village merchants, besides anording holiday spectacles for the in
habitants. But we agree with the committee member that it would
be desirable to have the regiments undergo field exercises in the
open country and under some of the conditions of actual campaign.
ing, but that step should not involve the giving up Of Sea Girt.
That peerless tract is a school for the rife. 1t is more important
TO make good rifemen than it is to teach the manual and evolu-
tions. Again, the best school for the State Guard is entirely
neglected. The State has none of it's guardsmen in the fortifca-
tions learning to be artilerymen. Better a hundred men trained
to take their places at the seacoast guns than a thousand infantry
men, however well trained.

EDUCATION COST
IN 1853 CITIES

prepared a bulletin showing the financial transactions of 1s. cities
of population in 1907 over 10000 each. The total annual expendi
ture shown is one and a quarter billions. To meet the cost of gov
eminent the cities collected $685. 991 ,96s in taxes, licenses, etc. and
borrowed s43O155,954. For public education the amount of s1o9,
9l9975 was expended, or about ten millions more than the cost
of fire and police protection, which is next highest. For all
the cities the average per capita of school cost is SAG.
The per capita varies among the 1853 cities. In the last
fiscal year New Jersey stood highest in per capita, and New
ark is among the first in the statistics of the census bureau. The
American people believe in public education and willingly con
tribute to its cost, as the s1O9y919,975 expended by the 1s cities
in one year e1oquently shows.
