NOW FOR A CLEANER NEWARK.

II NDER the inspiration of the Beard of Trade something VIII
IT, now be done TO improve the streetcleanIng service, Il re-
proach to our city for many years. The public has waited
year after year for the Board of Works to better conditions, ana
waited in vain. Appropriations have doubled in ten years, without
improvement. Politics rules the street cleaning department. y
WisesbuSiness management seems no part of its policy. With Il large
annual appropriation by Common Council NeWarks streets could
be kept clean if business. methods We're employed. AS it Is, thou
sands of dollars annually are wasted. For years, also, the depart
nent has been conducted as an eeemosynary institution. In place
of ahlebodied laborers. who can earn Il days wage, aged and de-
crepnt men have been employed, through political influences. Poltl
cal partisanship alone is responsible for the selection of the fore
men. Could there be an arrangement less favorable to efficiency?
And there has been no cooperation. with the police and health de-
partments. which could render valuable aid in keeping the streets
clean. the police department with its large patrol force and the
Health Board with its inspectors. But it is Il first essential to root
politics out of the street cleaning department. There can he
effected Il new plan of street cleaning to bring The police depart
ment and Health Board in cooperation, and. If possible. TO utilize
the trolley service at night. Whatever is to be done should be
done quickly, and the Board of Trade special committee means bust
ness. That committee is backed by all the power of public senti-
ment, which is the real governing power in this town, and it carries
lie mandate of that power TO delinquent oficialdom.

BILLS THAT FALL BY THE WAY.

9TH HE disappearance of legislative bills. either between the two
houses or after they have passed both houses and are due
to reach the Governor. is by no means an uncommon event.
1t is always found that bills that meet this misadventute are
measures of importance that the lobby has I'm interest in. There
have also been instances where the phTaseologg of passed bills was
changed to give them Il different meaning from that of The bill as
it passed the Legislature. Acts of this kind cannot be possible
except by legislative employees or by their conniyance. The dwell
child labor bill passed at the late legislative session was an i'm
portant one. 1t disappeared, and was found yesterday only after
Il long search. The Legislature is exceedingly liberal in providing
itself with clerical and other help, and there is no civil service rule
for the employees, who are all selected for political partisan reasons
only. Capabiity as well as integrity cannot always be found among
Il force of employees thus selected. But the Legislature might be
expected to make sure that the laws it passes are not tempered
with by its own Saared employees. The progress of a bill from
one house 10 the other and from the Legislature to the Governor
should be in at>olua safety and bc absolutely sure. The Icgis
latrlr owes tiat muca 10 itself.

ANOTHER TINE.

While the confiagration which des-
troyed the buildings at the Morris
Park race track was at it's furious
height recently, a flame battalion
suddenly deployed and cut off a fire
engine.
With difficulty, and in the face of
death, the firemen ~saved-not the
child-but the horses. The engine
was left to its horrible fate.
A mass of molten metal-and spe-
cial attention is called to the allit-
eration-alone marked the spot
where the gallant, engine in all its
asthmatic glory had stood.
This incident is n which might
well induce sober reflection and
serious thought along any Of several
different channels, but nothing par
ticularly good occurs to us at the
moment.

now they are keeping watch over. Many
of the young women come from country
homes and live in cheap boarding
houses, and many of them, as well as
others who live at home, do not go to
church, and at night they have no good
places to go to for amusement.
The Young Women's Christian AS
ISOLATION is working to raise money to
erect "a large building, in which hum
dreds of these young women may be
given instruction and amusement. The
association should be aided in its work

ment workers and the probation Off
GERS are doing splendid work, but the
churches and church societies ought to
give more practical attention to these
working women and girls and the city
should do it's share in the work of i'm
proving conditions.

Wants Airsbip study in SCHOOLS
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
1t will not be many years before air
shfps and aeroplanes will be shooting
about as thick as swallows in the fall,
Now, why not teach the younger gener-
alton something about them. They VIII
be the means of transportation in the
future and the man of the future
should know something of their make
up and the avs that govern them.
Unlike an automobile, one cannot
learn to operate them by simply know
ing that this lever controls the engine,
that one the steering apparatus and so
on. One must be perfectly familiar
with all laws of the atmosphere. These
laws are instinct in birds, but man
must learn them and it takes a long
time.
So why not start now and each the
children in the schools something of
these laws? Start classes and give
those who wish it a little instruction
in this matter. OF course the schools
may not be able to secure aeroplanes,
but this is not necessary. If he young
boys are given a chance they can, with
a little knowledge of the air currents,
construct small %aeroplanes for them
selves. They will learn to fly aero
planes instead of kites and the knowl-
edge will some day be useful.

Care and the Fourth.

the Editor of the Evening Star:
Legislation for a SANE Fourth of July
will be about as effective as legislation
to regulate the weather for the big
holiday. Some people rush to legisla-
ton to correct evils which nave their
origin in neglect and try no means of
removing the neglect. I always had my
~firecrackers, ~pinwheels and other means
of amusement on the holiday, and
thought it my i%nalienable right, but
my parents were right on hand all the
time and helped, / never even burned
my fingers and fully realized the dan
ger of the toys il improperly used.
Has there ever been ans accident while
the children We're being looked after?
OF course this means that the grown
ups will have to give up the greater
portion of the day to the children, but
then it belongs to them, and it is bet
ter to look after a youngster and help
him to have a good time than to sit
anxiously at the bedside and wonder
if he is going to recover or merely lose
his eyesight.
Help the children make a noise and
enjoy the Fourth in the old-fashioned
way by watching them carefully. 1t is
care, and not regulation, that is re-
CURED to make the day sane.

GOVERNMENT TRUST PROSECUTION CAMPAIGN

eA HERE has been languor for some time in the sugar trust
prosecutions. Nothing WAS doing. The general public was
led to believe that the government had got to the end of its
legal rope. 1t is now given out that the department of justice Gin
tends to run down every clue Of fraud or crookedness.' and will
seek new indictments. There is an apparent reason for this resunp
ton of activity in trust prosecution. The American people are
brooding too much over the high prices of necessaries and the tariff
protection for trusts that is largely responsible. They need diver
sion. The sugar trust is especially unpopular, and daily reports
of the batting of the trust by the governments attorneys will make
good popular reading and help TO offset the effect of highIrced
meat and other necessarieS. y campaign along the whole trust
line, with loud discharges of legal artillery, can be kept up right
along until November. To be sure. there has been trust prosecution.
for two years. with no other result than the creation of more trusts
and an immense imitation of trust prices; but it is enough to show
that the government is resolved 10 smash the trusts, if it takes
fifty years.

workingman has to eat now. The
trusts, with and by the consent of Con-
gress, nave boosted the prices of living

that nothing today can be bought at a

House and killed in the Senate. The Pierce bill was Killed in the
House. and did not reach the Senate. which WoulG not pass a bill
of any character that might affect the meat tust or fish trust, In
effect, the Legislature of New Jersey condemned the prosecutor and

NNV HILE good men and women and statesmen are considering
WV means to check the divorce evil bills intended to smooth the
path of divorce are constantly coming up in Legislatures.
In nearly all cases the men who introduce these bills are lawyers.
Governor Forts veto of the Terhune bill permitting a woman to re.
sumo her maiden name or the name of d former husband pending
divorce proceedings and before the final decree was to be expected.
Some years ago the Governor was a member of a commission to act
with commissioners of other States to secure uniformity and reform
in the divorce laws of the various States, and the great importance
Of the divorce question was therefore impressed upon him. In no
possible way should there be any relaxation Of the law and regula-

eredtable 10 introduce any bill of the kind in the Legislature.
