SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE rs, 1910.


Ie51 OMPLIANCE by the railroad companies with tut request py
" the Interstate Commerce Commission to postpone their
increase of fares for one month relieves the tension and gives
the public time for organization and further effort. The manner IN
which the complaint by the encouragement was receNeu oy 'ne
commission has convinced every man that before August L the
commission will disclaim authority to act in the case OF communal
ton and special rates. Nothing is to be hoped for at Washington.
Unless the State shall act the commuters of North jersey De
resigned TO take their medicine. The State cannot do anything
except by act of Legislature, and the Legislature cannot act unless
the Governor convenes it in special session. That's the situation In
brief. 1t rests with the people and commuters OF NORTH Jersey 10
prevail upon the Governor to call a special session. What his duty
is In the premises they have as clear perception as M governor
himself. More than half the population OF the State live in the
sections SO seriously affected by the rate increase, and this popu-
lation is a unit against that increase and i'll favor OF State action.
Here is a matter that vitality affects the States interests, and
those interests may be conserved only by prompt and vigorous
action. There is now time for the people to demand the fulfill
ment of the Governors promise.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
A certain law on the statutes Of this
State requires hat every automobile
driver must carry a license. If this law
is enforced the number of accidents and
likewise the resultant number of fatali-
ties will be lessened. But this law is
strictly enforced; one-half of the joy
rider pilots are novices, and how often
do we see a family in which everybody
drives the car on one license.
There is a news item in last nights
paper telling of the Joy ride" through
the city's streets at 8 o'clock in the
morning, and the owners statement
that the machine had been stopped by a
policeman, who, after admonishing the
driver for overspeeding, allowed him to
go without questioning him in regard to
his license. That state of affairs
shouldn't exist. Mr.. Chief of Police,
your duty is evident. CHAUFFEUR.

this country in the same fashion that
he has been trying to rule-or rifle

WATER FRONT DEVELOPMENT.

cTTa BE inertia of the Board of Works in the matter of carrying
out the will of the people expressed at the polls two and a
half years ago in regard to meadow Improvement and munich
pal docks continues. The sharp prod the Mayor gave to the board
not long ago did not stir its sluggish energies. SO far as the Board
of Works is concerned the enterprise upon which the public built
such great hopes seems dead. Practically nothing has been done.
Plans were made and paid for and pigeonholed. Many years ago
the old water board employed Engineers Croes and Howell to
examine the Passac watershed for a future water supply and paid
STA, 900 for the plans. These were pigeonholed, nothing was done,
and the plans were afterwards conveniently used by the East Jersey
Water Company in its private interests. Perhaps the plans for
meadow and dock improvements paid for by the Board of Works
will ultimately be utilized by private interests in securing and de-
veloping the great natural advantages that the Board of Works is
now neglecting.

A BRIDE FOR A u. S. SENATOR.

O. ENATOR CORES statement in the Senate that he had, in
effect, been approached with the offer of a bride to with
draw his opposition to certain Indian land contracts, and
that the bribery had been attempted in the interests of a syndicate
of lawyers who are after a fee of $3O00000, gives an ugly com
plexion to an act done in conference. Senator Gore introduced an
amendment to the general deficiency bill providing that Congress
should approve such contracts. The conference changed the pro-
vision to give the secretary of the interior and the President the
power. Evidently the syndicate had no objection to that arrange
ment. But the charge by Senator Gore will have to be thoroughly
probed into. And closer attention will be given to those Indian
land contracts

DALZELL. BLOCKS A RECOUNT:

~ CONGRESSMAN DALZELL finds refuge in a judicial decision
w from the necessity of having the balotboxes opened in pre-
cincts in his district where he obtained his small majority
for denomination. Dalzells claimed majority is 1877. Fraud is
charged in sixtv-six precincts. Several ballotboxes were opened
before the court interfered, and they showed losses for Dalzel. In
Pennsylvania, under the present political regime, it was no trouble
for Dalzell to get a restraining order. But If the ballots cannot he
recounted and the fraudulent primary election majority must stand,
how about the election? Is it possible for Dalzell, even with the
barrels of money that will be poured into his district, to secure
reelection under such circumstances?

1N WO friends of Roosevelt Garfield and Pinchot are first to be
entertained by him over night'as his guests at Oyster Bay.
Ordinarily the incident would have no Importance. But the
two hidden guests happen to represent principles and policies that
the Taft administration is inimical to and they were turned out of
their highly responsible positions as cusodians of the nations
natural resources to make place for Balinger and his appointees.
Roosevelt was the sponsor of the conservation policy and Garfield
and Pinchot were his trusted aides. He finds the conservation
policies halted and endangered, and its enemies in control of the
Interior Department. 1t is fair to say that the visit of the two men
to Oyster Bay was not merely a social one. The great subject of
conservation, of supreme Importance to the nation, could not have
been ignored. In recent address at Minneapolis Pinchot dwelt
upon the probability of the organization of a new party. 1t was not
newly conceived by him, for it'll has been in the air ever since Congress
began its session. Did he carry the idea to Oyster Bay? There are
people in Washington who would give much to know what passed
between Roosevelt and Garfield and Pinchot at Oyster Bay.

The tariff is a simple device

Everything going out and nothing

The tariff may be likened to .
high wall around the country. This
wall has a row of loose bricks along
the top. Thus the game Of "revis-
ing the tariff or now you see 1t,
now you don't" may be played at
any time by it's friends" Tho
game is a simple one. While the
band is playing and everyone Is
looking on the loose bricks are
taken off the top Of the wall In
spots. They are slipped back when
no one is looking.
This tariff wall was built when
the country was young for the pro-
lection of our infant industries. It

E EVENING STAIRS TWO-PAGE MAGAZINE X

An American yacht, the Westward,
ran away from the emperor's Meteor
at the Kiel regatta yesterday, and the
kaiser was himself at the wheel. No
international complications are likely
to follow. The day when the king was
always permitted to win as a matter
of policy has long since passed, and
there never was a time when Ameri-
cans were not more prone to pay their
respects to such unwritten laws
through the breach rather than the
observance" Then. too, there is no
disgrace in it, for the kaiser, even. to
lose to Charlie Barr.
Apparently the Jersey alienist is to
come into his own again. Friends and
relatives of Porter Charlton are pre-
pairing 10 urge insanity as his defense
when he Is brought to trial for the MUIR
der Of his wife. Native alienists have
not, heretofore, reflected any consider
able amount of honor on this State. 1t
might not be going too far to say that
the reverse is true. Those who are now
chosen for the task of examining Charl-
ton as to hts sanity should bear in the
mind those mistakes and follies of other
mind sharps of New Jersey.
Even though the courts have clinched
Congressman Dalzell's victory at the
primary election by permanently en-
joining his opponent from recount pro-
ceedings, it is hardly probable that the
regular is viewing the situation with
any degree of satisfaction. DR.. Black
says he will carry his fight through the
highest courts and will run independ-
emily election day If necessary. The
Dalzell election day prospect was not
as bright as in former years, and DR..
Blacks action will make it blacker.
Senator Gore dropped a verbal bomb
in the Senate chamber when he an
nounced hat he had been offered a bride
of $50, 900. In this day of superlatively
refined methods of corruption the offer
of a direct bride always causes uneasi-
ness and alarm. 1t is so crude and un-
necessary, so easily traced to its lair.
The junior Senator from Illinois prob
ably welcomed the communication of
the gentleman from Oklahoma in that
it may divert the attention of the Sen
ate from his own ~predicament.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
I would go a little further than u
correspondent, An English Woman, who
writes a sensible letter on the above
subject. I would say to Mr.. Hearst
that England is the Irishman's coun-
try, and I claim that Irishmen who en-
listed in the armies of England to fight
against any nation were discharging
a patriotic duty, on the theory that
Irishmen owed the same duty to Eng
land, as their country, that the citi-
zen of the republic owe to the United
States as their country.
