Urse. Morning shopping.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t Is with considerable nisgiving, and
at the risk of being called ungallant,
that I approach a certain phase of the
crowded trolley car question that has
doubtless appealed to many of your
readers before. Our good wives and
sisters, who find pleasure and profit in
afternoon shopping, would do much to
remedy the late afternoon crush on the
cars IL they would regulate their time
so that they could start for home be-
fore the rush-hour.
Day after day you will ace women
loaded down with bundles Srying to
board cars that are already crowded
with people who are returning from
their daily labors in offices and fac
tories, and in many instances these
are accompanied by small chill
dren, who have a most uncomfortable
time of it. You would imagine that
these women for their own comfort
would make an earlier start, but many
of them do not seem to profit by ex-
perience and continue to stay in the
stores and markets until the last min
ute.
For this and other reasons it would
be we'll if an agitation in favor of
morning shopping could be started and
kept up until 1t has accomplished some
good. The trolley company could help
the cause along by displaying cards in

m S the two State hospitals for the insane are oyercrowded, and
IN the Legislature has been petitioned to authorize the cree
ton of a third large hospital in South Jersey to take the
overflow, the attempt in the Legislature to open these hospitals to
chronic drunkards seems lacking in common sense. And even if
there was spare room in the hospitals it would be most unwise to
admit cases of drunkenness. that would soon multiply on the hands
of the hospital authorities to an extent to necessitate costly build
ing. The privilege of sending inebriates to the State hospitals
would be grossly abused, and in many cases they would be used
for the recuperation of men between DRINKS" The hospitals have
been trying to get rid of the epileptics, and it would be a sorry
exchange to take inebriates.

WHERE THE LEGISLATURE EARNED GRATITUDE

q OMETHING will have been done by the New Jersey Legis-
lature to alleviate the general distress by reason of high
prices, and a grateful people will not fail to remember the
act. The Legislature passed a resolution, and presumably it was
mailed to somebody at Washington, indorsing the Senate commit
tee investigation of food prices. Of course, the investigation won't
amount to anything more than what it is intended for, namely, to
whitewash the Payne-Aldrich tariff. but that is not here or there.
The point is that the New Jersey Legislature, in its great solicit
tude, passed that resolution. 1t was great.

the use of alcoholic liquors all his
life. Until a few years ago, when
his hand began to shake SO no

was quite a dope f1end.
Despite the fact that he is but
a hundred years old Mr., Oldster
remembers perfectly that he steered
the boat on the historic night
when Washington crossed the Della
ware. He sees perfectly but UNI
fortunately, cannot distinguish be-
tween colors or night and day. His
ears may not be so sharp as they
once were, but when there was some
talk Of increasing his pension along
in the nineties he heard about 1t.
Mr. Oldster keeps the date of
his birth in his family Bible, which
he mislaid some time back.

WHAT A JURxsT CAN DO AS MAYOR.

MI AYOR GAYNOR is winning golden opinions from those who
AVN the most bitterly opposed his election and revled him in
the campaign last year. His case is only another example
of the fact that you can't honestly judge a man by what his enemies
say of him. In the last two months Mayor Gaynor has effected
economies of administration amounting to nearly 5000, 900. and he
is by no means at the end Of his reform work. With economies
also he is insurng for New York a much better administration. AS
Mayor Gaynors term is four years, he has plenty of time and un-
limited opportunity to give to New York city the best local govern.
ment among the cities of the United States, a record that will mark
him as one Of the really great public men Of the generation.

REVIVAL OF THE ANTI-CANNON FIGHT.

Pts HE fact is now well recognized that the anti-Cannon Repub
leans in Congress bungled their job, and will have to get
rid of Cannon finally. They are hearing from their dis
appointed constituents, who did not bargain on any such a con
summation as a mere change of form for the rules committee, leay

cannot halt midway. Cannon should have been deposed. Maybe
he will be before the session ends.
