knowIeged by Competitors To Be
Worthy Their imitation.
Acts, many and novel, have been
added to the repertoire of Howes
Great London Shows this season. and,
as the management registered a VOW
to equal any tented show, the result
is a plethora of attractions fitted to
evoke an enthusiasm from a perform
ance where hundreds of skilled per-
formers vie with each other in friend
ly contests for supremacy and public
appreciation. So successful has this
effort been that visitors from other
shows acknowledge that competitor
has entered the lists that demand
their recognition. Although this has
cost lot of money, the public is the
gamer, and HoWes Great London
Shows will be classed at the outset
among the names more familiar to Gil
cus-goers in the past.
This great show will visit US, with
all it's attractions, to please and edu-
cate the cd and young alike.
In case of inclement weather the
waterproof tents insure perfect pro-
lection and comfort.

served. Hence the sentence, "she
may look like a bowl of clabber,
but she still retains her giriish
laughter"
However, it may be noted here
that a ha-ha, however merry and
silvery, when out OF place often has
the same effect of starting some
thing as a guffaw.
A youthful necktie makeress was
at work in New York the other day
on a very noisy cravat. She held
it up to the light and said: at
wonder what Hick will wear that?"
Then she laughed. The laugh was
out of place, and she was dis
missed. r
Twenty thousand necktie workers
her little world-went on strike
because of the incident, thus
illustrating the beautiful conception
of the poet, Laugh and the world
strikes with you; guffaw, and
you're thrown out alone.
Now, if the cigarrnakers should
strike, we might feel reasonably
sure about what we are going to
get for Christmas.

A Plea for the Erring.

n Plea Tor the bfrInS'
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
II magazine articles, editorials p
opinions OF thinking men are n indi-
cation, the general tendency Of the
present age in this country, in cases
OF wrongdoing, where such Is a nrst
o~ffense, and Ewhere extenuating, %circuna-
stances exist, is to parole, correct land
reform the offender andA give him a
chance to start again, rather than pun
isl1r him, not only by al or sentence
but by making of him an outcast fGr
life by ~ostracism In the business world
While students of sociology, GRIMM
organized for the purpose are working
the problem out so far as their limited
means will allow, and in the majority
of cases with admirable results, the
lard-headed business man of.today, as
a rule, has never given this mf ter
consideration and continues to do busi-
ness along the old traditional lines
"the man who once breaks the law can
never REFORM" and when, for instance,
some unfortunate applies for a posi-.
ton, his application is consigned to
+. the waste-basket. '~fa
What brings the matter to the writ
ers mind is a case which has attracted
his attention. 1t is that Of a young
man of his acquaintance, who, after
giving Eve years faithful service to
one employer, by whom he was pro-
NOTED yearly, was unfortunate enough
to fall and commit a crime for which
he was arrested. When brought before
the court for trial. where he pleaded
guilty. on investigation, the circum-
stances which led up to this rnisstep
were found to have been so extraor-
binary that the judge decided the ends
of justice had been served by the short
| time the prisoner had been held await
ing trial. Notwithstanding that : the
usual sentence for his offense is from,
one to three years.
Are there none among us who pos
! sess sporting blood or the gambling in
| stinct to the extent hat they are will
ing to take a chance and gamble, not
with a few paltry dollars for a prize,
| but with a human being-a fellow-man
as the stake?
Until our business men, who arc en-
| pioyers, are ready to take up and CO.
operate in this work. the efforts OF
those who are trying to better condi-
lions Will count for naught

To the Editor Of the Evening Star;
The recent squabble between the
Court House ,constables and Free
holder Romine has brought forth all
sorts of criticism of county affairs in
generalfrom the constables-
One constable friend Of mine told me
that the criticism hurled at the county
counsel had called forth a sharp retort.
This friend alleged that counsel said
that if Freebooter Romine was sued
for libel he would defend him and that
after%t the suit was tried he would fix
things so that the constable would. &C
cording to the law, receive no salary
at all during the months when the
courts are idle.
Just a few observations on this point.

why are they paid? If there is such
a law, why isn't it kept? If there is
no law, why resurrect an old custom
Just because a county official has be-

PUBLIC CELEBRATION AND THE CIVIC SPIRIT.

M\NE great beneficial effect of a public celebration like that
to be held in Jersey City today is the awakening Of the
civic spirit. 1t is lack of that spirit which makes bad poll
tics and bad government and retards public improvement and mu-
nicipal progress. The historical significance of the celebration is
also educational. 1t is important to know something of history in
general, but it should be essential that the citizen be well grounded
in the facts of local history. In how many cities OF the State does
that knowledge distinguish the great majority? To what extent is
the knowledge taught in the schools? And is it not necessary to
the civic spirit? Can a man be possessed of much of that spirit
when he is ignorant of the history OF, his town and knows nothing
of its early traditions? Last year THE STAR strongly urged the
substitution of street pageants illustrative of local and State his
tory as a substitute for the oldtime method of celebrating lnde-
pendence Day. The suggestion was received with favor, but no
initiative was taken. The suggestion may be renewed next year.
If it shall be adopted as a form of annual observance of the
nations natal day we will not merely get rid of the noise and
danger of fireworks, but also will have instituted an educational
system of great value in promoting the civic spirit. The annual
celebrations will inculcate civic pride and patriotism, and by that
means make a better order of citizenship.

a TRICK PLAYED WITH THE VOTING MACHINES.

WAY ITHOUT any explanation to the local authorities Secretary
WV of State Dickinson has had the voting machines in the
first and second districts of Trenton removed. For several
wears the voters of the districts have desired the removal of the
machines, but the local Republican leaders were opposed, as the
machines aided them IN elections by preventing party voters from
splitting their tickets. That boot is on the other leg now. Al
Princeton Woodrow Wilson and Colonel Libbey, of Princeton Uni
versity, will head the Democratic, ticket and will command a big
vote. Il the voting machines are in use the Republican voters who
want to vote for Wilson and Libbey and are embarrassed by the
machines in shifting their ticket will vote the whole Democratic
ticket and vote against the Republican Assembly candidates. That
is why Secretary of State Dickinson, who had forced the machines
in the districts. has removed them without any vote in the districts
on the question of their retention. Undoubtedly Dickinson was
directed by the State committee to play this trick in the home town
of Woodrow Wilson. But what can Mr.. Lewis think of an artful
move by his own party managers that facilitates the scratching Of
his name on the party ticket in order TO save votes for Assembly
candidates?
