Have you ever given thought 10 the

For instance, one Of the most sue
cessful real estate dealers in New York
is an Italian who has renowned his title
Of marquis and is proud to be known as
plain mister. hitched TO the name Of
the family possessions IN Italy.
Among my acquaintances I can point
out former German count. a lawyer; a
Russian prince with name like an ex-
plosion. a tea importer; "a Hungarian
baron. once a general in Franz Josefs
army. and now general manager for a
wholesale grocery house. They have all
shaken their titles and got down to busi-
ness as ordinary Americans.
There is no particular reason for the
remuneration in the case OF any Of them,
except that they want TO settle down
here and grow up with the country as
plain Americans"

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Reading again as l have done many
times before various articles in cur
rent magazines relative to Christmas
thoughtfulness on the part Of the
writer's. One and all advise the pub
lie not to fatigue it's members in buy
ing, or preparing, Christmas gifts; fol-
lowing up the advice, with a semi
humorous list of things not to give,
and in several instances say that they
are obliged to turf over unwelcome
gifts to the Salvation Army. AS a wife
who finds it hard enough to exist on
very limited means, may I ask, on be-
half of an army of those who have
seen better days, is there no one whose
heart may be made to sing for joy by
the gift of a ton of coa or a supply
of stores for the pantry? Are there not
those who cannot afford to buy, and
yet long sorely for some little COM
fort or beauty to brighten the hard
days?
The writer has cause to bless the
kindness which two years age caused
a class in Sunday school to unite in the
purchase of groceries and timed pro-
visions that lasted for weeks, to-
gether with another similar gift from
q friend.
Many there are suffering in silence,
too proud to beg, yet in actual want.
VIII you not, dear editor, in your col
umns, give a place for an appeal for
such? Had I more space I could en-
large on this. Your paper stands for
sympathy and generous help to those
who suffer. There are many this
Christmastide who scarcely know how
to make ends meet, who would be
thankful If they could be remembered
by those who are more fortunate than
themselves. Very truly yours,
ONE WHO KNOWS.

THE PALpABLE FRAUD IN OCEAN COUNTY

II S the State Senate is the sole judge of the qualifications OF IT'S
m own members, and as the Senate has a Republican majority
Senator Mathis will oe seated, almost without question, not
withstanding the frauds in the Ocean county election, If his claim
to the senatorship is not previously invalidated by a recount OF the
vote in the election. 1t is up to Justice voorhees, now to say
whether there shall be such a recount as will satisfy the public
demand and Justice. 1t is up to the court to say whether the
senator shall go from Ocean to the Legislature with a clear title.
1t is also incumbent upon the court to do all that is essental TO
defeat outrageous fraud. If, a. believed, a crime upon the ballot
has been committed in Ocean county, no effort should be spared to
expose and punish the perpetrator. There is strong evidence OF
fraud. The work was done bungiingly and evidently in such haste
that no time was left to destroy its traces. This election recount
is now not a merely local affair, but a State matter of great i'm
portance. 1t is easy to understand how and why outside influences
were brought to bear in the recount. 1t is believed that the in
spiration for the recount came from politicians outside of Ocean
county. The election of a senator in Ocean this year may determine
the political complexion of the State Senate in 1912 and make 1T
either Republican n Democratic. Men have resorted to as desper-
ate expedients as the falsifying of the count in a local election or
tampering with the hallotboxes during a recount when they had
similar objects to serve. The outcome of the Ocean county recount
will now be watched with interest by people in all parts of the
State.

MUNICIPALITIES AND THE WATER-sNAKE.

NKT UNICIPAL officers who submit to the Establishments or
IVl( impotent threats of the agents of the watersnake and
hand over to them the municipalities power of condemna-
ton to enable the East Jersey Water Company to secure itself at
Little Falls in anticipation of legislative action this winter will
have occasion to rue their breach, of public trust, whether it was
committed ignorantly or designedly. Men elected by the people to
governing boards in municipalities are supposed to have average
intelligence and to possess some knowledge of public affairs and
some idea of what constitutes their duty as public officers. The
notoriety of the efforts by the watersnake to get the State and the
municipalities in its coils should also suggest to them their course
of action in the matter of these crafty applications by its agents for
condemnation powers. 1t is incredible that the State and State
policy and the vital interests of the people of the State should be
betrayed by municipal boards, and on the eve of a session of the
Legislature which is to legislate for the people on the conservation
of the water of the State for the people of the State.

The Hardest Race of All.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The six-day bicycle race in Madison
Square Garden is attracting the atten-
ton of sporting men throughout the
country. The long grind to which the
riders are subjected and their gameness
in sticking to their wheels makes the
spectators and the public in general
cheer the plucky cyclists, who are re-
garded as heroes of the day. For those
who like racing. either as participants
or spectators. the six-day grind Is in
teresting. To those who do not care
about races or endurance contests, the
race seems foolish.
In a few days another sort of six-day
grind will begin-a race devoid of
any sporting features or glory-the
grind Of the department store en-
ployees. How many persons are there
who will TAX an interest in the hard
ships these workers endure during the
week before Christmas? How many
are there who will make n effort to
help these men and womsn? II the
six-day race at the garden is hard, the
race In the department store is much
harder. For. in addition to hard physi-
cal work, the clerks have to put UP
with a great deal Of abuse, which the
average shopper hands out generously.
AS soon as the public win take as

Religious Cult Criticised.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The death of Mrs. Mary Baker G.
Eddy, founder Of the Christian Science
Church, should be the beginning of the
end OF a cult that made her immensely
rich and deluded thousands of appar-
emily intelligent people. She is reputed
to have died from such a common. or
binary, everyday disease as pneumonia.
Ever since she founded the cult she
n her followers have preached a doc
trine to he effect that there is no such
thing as bodily disease, and that it
exists only in mortal mind" what
ever that is. If there Is no bodily dis
ease, n as Mrs. Eddy did not die Of
an accident, of course she is not dead.
That's logic.
Several a g a strenuous ct
tempt was made to keep up a Chris tian
Science church. so-called, in Bellerille
avenue, but Newark was never u fruit
full field for such doctrines and the
glory" of meeting in a real church
building and teaching mortal MIND
themes soon departed and the Chris
tan Scientists hired a hall.
An immense source of income of the
society is the publication of a sort Of
manual which may be had at the re-
m~arkably low price of So a copy. Its
cost In large quantities is probably
thirty cents a copy. SENSE.

THE FACTORY FIRE DRILL.

ea HE suggestion by the STAR on the Monday following the
factory fire tragedy for a fire drill system in factories has
not been lost. The idea has been favorably discussed, and
it S proposed by Assemblymaneect Boettner to have it embodied
in the proposed new law for factory inspection. 1t is probable that
many large manufacturers will voluntarily inaugurate the system
in their factories. Fire drill discipline may in many cases prevent
the loss of property as well as of life. Insurance is only partial
compensation to a factory owner for fire destruction. There is none
for loss of time and business profits and the decentralization of the
factory organization. A fire drill system would therefore be valu-
able if only for the protection of property interests, and it would
serve the purpose of safeguarding human life.

statement credited to a member of the
