The Board of Trade during its meet
ing Wednesday night Endorsed the
proposition that all N~ewark-made
articles zeal the label Made in New
ark" In an account of the discussion
which preceded this action of the board
occurred the following sentence: 1T
was shown by several members that
other cities do it and hat there was
no reason why Newark should not fol-
low suit" Such an argument may
have had no weight with the board,
and, indeed, it is to be hoped that its
members had reached their decision to
indorse the use of such a label before
this cas- for it had been urged pon
them or that they would have reached
such a decision without it. With
municipalities and civic bodies, as with
individuals, initiative Is a powerful as
set, and time spent in looking for
precedents is usually time wasted.

THE DAYS BEST O

r ZING VICTOR EMMANUEL of Italy is fond of telling this story of a
x valet whom he had finally ITO get rid of because of his suspected,
l. n though improved honesty.
"Giuseppe was a good body servant narrates the king, "and while I
never caught him stealing, l have man. reasons for believing him untrust-
worthy. He was ne Of my household and confess to a fondness for the
fellow, in whose veins there is really more than a trace of royal blood.

THE DISTRICT COURT APPOINTMENTS.

m MONG the appointments to be made by Governorelect Wilson
Nv are twelve District Court judgeships, including those of
Judge MacLear, of Newark, and Judge Jones, of Orange. Mr.
Wilson will be guided in these appointments by the judgment Of
the vicinage, as the district judges are really municipal officers.
But in these and other appointments Mr.. Wilson will, in all prob
ability require that the appontees shall keep aloof from active
partisan politics, as judges of the high courts do. Judge Jones, of
Orange, is an active partisan. He drew up the county committee
charter for Newark and figured prominently in the bogus raid on
lodgnghouses in quest of hundreds of alleged Democratic repeaters.
A District Court Judge should administer his office with dignity
and abstain altogether from acts Of such a character. The District
Courts are as important as the higher courts. In the cities of the
State they are the resort of people of small means for civil Justice,
and the DEGREES of the court should ever be free from any suspicion
that they can be colored by political partisan bias.

MAYBE A MEXICAN BOYCOTT.

IT 7 is easy enough for agitators to stir up trouble between two
countries, and in most cases they only succeed in compromising
their own. When the governments maintain friendly rela-
tions popular prejudices can resort to the boycott. In coast cities
in China not long ago there was a boycott on American goods be-
cause of our Chinese exclusion laws. The Turks established a
boycott on Austrian goods. Hotheads in Mexico threaten the same
kind of a boycott because of the lynching of a Mexican malefactor
in Texas. We have large trade relations with Mexico and hun
dreds of millions of American capital is invested in that country.
So an extensive boycott would be serious to us commercially. But
a struggle of that character cuts both ways, and the outcome would
be much worse for the Mexicans than for us.

Lesson the Commuter. Taught.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The election of a Democratic Assem-
bly, was in a great measure due to the
manner in which the former Assembly
was shown up by the Commuters
League. The members of this organi-
cation, irrespective of their political
beliefs, were out to knife the Republi-
can Assembly ticket. The returns
show how successful they were. The
league made the defeat of the Repub-
lican Assembly inevitable.
The commuters of this county mostly
live in the Oranges, the former strong
hold of the Republicans. How the
mighty did fall Tuesday! The election

SENATOR LODGE, TOO, TO 90.

TT 7 is now not improbable that Senator Lodge, who has for so
long welded power in Massachusetts politics, will retire from
the Senate in company with Aldrch and Hale and Kean and
other stand patters. He may decide to voluntarily retire, and if he
doesn't do so it is more than likely that he will fail of reelection.
The Legislature for next year is Republican, but two Republican
senators and ten assemblymen have declared their purpose to oppose
him in the joint meeting. How things have changed since the night
of the Newark Board of Trade banquet last winter, when President
Taft and Senator Lodge sat side by side as the principal guests of
the board and praised the Payne-Aldrich tariff!

as a whole only goes to prove that the
average citizen today keeps his eyes N

time, but even more so when that repre-

that the trusts and large corporations

We want Better Service on Kinney St.

we Want better Service on Kinney st.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
trolley service on the Kinney street
line is no better thar ever, and that
covers the point. It is to be hoped
that Commissioner-elect Patrick II.
Ryan, of the Board of Works, will keep
the pledge he made to the 1900 voters
at a meeting several weeks g when
he declared that he would do his ut
most to secure better service. I realize
that it will be hard for him to fight
the quartet of Republicans who will
sit with him, but let him come out
publicly meeting after meeting until
he brings the Public Service up to the
line.
It's been a bitter pill for the patrons
of the road-men, women and children
Old and young-to pack themselves into
the small soap-boX cars night after
night during the rush hours. There
has been no plea for larger cars, but
what we want is more of them. It's a
miracle that scores were not killed
when the little things backed down
steep Kinney street hill. Now, Mr..
Ryan, go in and fight Commissioners
Bud. .O'Connell. Mungle and Denman,
and the public and press will be with
you. Signed. A VICTIM.

A beginning may have been made to
the solution of the immigration prob
lem when the Graf Waldersee locked
in Philadelphia recently. The giant
neutrality-suspicious. liner inaugurated
the new passenger service between
Hamburg and Philadelphia. She car
ried 600 steerage passengers. The con-
gestion of incoming prospective citizens
at the port of New York has been one
of the most troublesome features of the
problem. If it is found practicable to
scatter the immigrants along the coast
an effort may be made to accomplish
that d~istributive end.

1t is impossible not to envy Prince
ton students, armed with election re-
turns and the joy they extracted from
the opportunity of hailing their popu-
lar president as the G~overnor-elect of
New Jersey. College students en- masse
are always extravagant in their dem
onstrations, out here at last was a
legitimate excuse for the widest kind
of hilarity. The people of New Jersey
had recognized in their-the students
chief executive the sterling qualities
and extraordinary talents they-the
students-had long been cognizant of,
and had insisted that he exercise these
talents in the wider sphere of State
government. Is it any wonder the stu
dents were jubilant at this Endorsement
of their judgment?

The mere suggestion of a recount in
Pennsylvania to determine whether or
not the claims of the Republican cam
paign managers concerning the success
of their State ticket furnishes one of the
most striking features of the Democratic
landslide. To doubt in advance of cleo
ton day that Pennsylvania, rock
ribbed Republican Pennsylvania,
would go Republican might easily have
meant for the doubter the suspicion
that he was temporarily deranged. In
the face of the nationwide returns the
hesitancy in accepting the report Of
Tener's election as a fact seems reason
able. Already, it is asserted, the plu-
rality of $4,000 claimed for the former
baseball star has beer cut to 1S, 900.
One more slash might therefore ami
hilate it.

Mexican students in Mexico City have
been indulging in the dangerous pas
time of attacking Americans and in
sulting the American flag. The report
that a Mexican accused of numbering
a woman had beer burned at the stake
in Texas reused the students of the
Mexican capital to fury. Whatever
basis they may have had for their
feelings in the matter, the n in
which they expressed those feelings
made their demonstration seem careless
and exceedingly hazardous for them
selves. Whenever 1t is found necessary
to discipline one of the little American
brothers the United States will not
hesitate because it happens to be a
next-door neighbor.

A POSSIBILITY OF THE AEROpLANE.

Tm OS-TMASTERGENERAL HITCHCOCK, after taking an aero.
liz plane fight with the Count de Lesseps at Baltimore, was
convinced that the aeropane was destined to carry the
mails, a dismal outlook for the railroads. The remark ought to
depress the Wall Street values of railroad stocks. But there are
other important possible uses for the aeroplane. There is the dis
trict messenger boy, for example. There can be no playing of
marbles or pennies and no lettering up in the air, and the fight Of
De messenger to and fro can be watched from the housetop.

time it appeared as though the colonel
was sincere, but lately his speeches
ring as false as those of the average

tics in the East is not the usual thing
for a sincere man to do. There are still
thousands of the %colonel's admirers left

Belated census returns are the more
interesting in that they are isolated.
While reading the general returns
which come in together amazement at
the seemingly phenomenal gain of one
city is checked before it reaches its
full growth by contemplation of the

returns from Los Angeles, however,
would have stood alone, even had they
