THE COLD STORAGE CRUSADE IN HUDSON.

TT " is evident enough that Prosecutor Garven. of Hudson county.
means business in the investigation he is making of the prac-
tses of the coldstorage establishments in Hudson county.
The prosecutor must realize that he is acting not merely for the
people of the county, but for the people of the State and nation.
The cause he is prosecuting is a national one. And he may be
said to be carrying on the fight single handed. But Prosecutor
Garven can feel assured that behind him is the great power of
public sentiment. All the people of the State back him up. There
may be Indifference and even hostility at Trenton, the Legislature
may be supine, and politicians may stand aloof or even make re
monstrance, but the prosecutor stands on solid ground, and, with
a firm grand jury to second his efforts, he will earn national credit
for his county and do an immense service to the people of the coun-
try. Prosecutor Garven can compel the Legislature to act. That
is the authority to which legiimately belongs the correction of
che vast abuses concealed in the coldstorage system. The State
has all the necessary power to stop conspiracy in the shape of
hiding away vast quantities of food to force high prices on con
sumers. 1t has the police power to forbid the storage and sale of
halfdecayed foods. 1t can regulate cold storage to prevent these
evils. If the Legislature refuses to do this, the people will want
to know the reason why.

CoId-stornxe Poultry.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Sir-Much is being said at the pres
ent time in the matter of cold storage.
Now, it seems to me there is one thing
that might well be considered in the
matter of cold storage of poultry, and
that is to have the viscera taken out.
It seems to me this ought to be the
law In every State. not only for cold
storage purposes, but for all purposes.
1t is very evident that the viscera long
confined in the carcass of the fowl
must cause a faint; and. besides, what
a vast amount of filth could be kept
on the farm-where if it did no good it
could not do any harn-and-h how much
better it would be for the
in the city to be rid of the nuisance.
OF course, the poultry would not look
SO plump and neat and would not
weigh SO much. but would it not bring
a price that would o%verbalance this
drawback?
This / consider of such Importance.
I wish it could be taken up and re-
ceive the consideration it deserves.

protest what good does it do? They
show you the extra slips with your
number on and the time. Asking then
who you called they are unable to
answer, simply stating that their oper-
ators keep strict account. Back of that
they cannot go any further. Pay the
bill or out comes your phone. It's a
very easy graft game to work on the
phone owner by simply adding extra
local calls on the monthly bill-it pays
for a great many things. One may
keep a record of all the calls he makes,
keeping the number and time he calls
up, but of what use is it? When he
presents it to the company they simply
say: Our toll slip shows that a call
was made from your phone" and that
is final. l have had my office locked up
for days at q time-impossible for any
one to use the 'phone-yet when my
bill came In / was charged for calls
during those days. Their toll slip
proved it. Can you beat it? No, I

BURGLARS BARGAIN DAY.

An Ohio burglar one bargain day
stole articles from q department
store marked down from $42 to $24.
When the value of stolen articles is
greater than $35 in that State, the
crime becomes grand larceny. So
this burglar escaped a p~enitentiary
sentence because while really x
ceeding the limit, he had managed
to keep within it.
Thus may be seen how a proper
exercise of prudence, economy ana
judgment can be OF great benefit 10
anyone even though he follow the
Iowly trade of thieving. II this
robber had not stopped to con-
slider the price of things he would
now be occupying a felon's cell.

KEARNY STATUE NOT AN ADORNMENT.

NV EWARK has not been Justly proud for years. of the Kearny
I'M statue in Military Park, as a correspondent of the STAR
mistakenly states. The city has more reason to be ashamed
Of the artistic abortion, which in New York city would not have
been given a site. This piece of bronze was obtained by the city
purposey because it was cheap. 1t had lain forgotten for years
in the vault of the State House at Trenton, where it was discovered
ene day, and somebody conceived the idea of bringing it to Newark
and setting it UP in Military Park. 1t has never adorned the park,
and 1t should long ago have gone into the melhngpot. General
Phil Kearny, the "beau sabreur' of the Civil War, deserves a fit
ting memorial on the soil of his State and in the city that knew
him well before he began the brilliant military career that was
tragicaly ended at Chantilly. The bronze in Military Park fairly
caricatures Kearny. 1t is diminutive, it lacks dignity and char
acter, and it is inartistic. 1t is well to build a public comfort sta
ton close to that cheap bronze, if the result will be it's removal
and the erection of a statue elsewhere to Kearny that will do honor
to his memory and be aecredit to the city.

A NEWARK SHERRY,S.

TTN ARTS, London, Vienna and New York are famous for their
liz restaurants. Perhaps no European city can excel New
York in that respect. Restaurants give character to a city,
and are characteristic of its people. AS the level of civilization
and refinement in a city rises the restaurant improves. The middle
aged Newarker can remember a period in this city when it did not
contain a single restaurant above the dignity of an ordinary oyster
saloon. Newark has progressed in that respect. 1t now possesses
some good restaurants. In course of time it will have places of
the character of famed resorts in New York, where all the facilities
for the best social entertainment are combined with the best table
dhote. "A beginning is already projected in plans for a restaurant
and assembly hall on the order of Sherry's, in New York, to occupy
q prominent and central site in Newark. Too frequently when
Newarkers give "A pretentious dinner they take their guests to New
York. With the same facilities and conveniences and service, these
dinners would be given in Newark. a description of the new enter
prise, which may be said to begin an era in the social life of New.
ark, is given today in our local columns.

especially as American meat is sold in
England cheaper than here, where it

necessary food in order that prices
may be lowered.

enacted, lies in the hands of the voters,

THE RECEPTION OF THE PRESIDENT.

II F the reception of President Taft on the occasion of his visit to
Newark on February 90 is TO be made a gala event, the ar.
engagements should be entirely worthy of the city and it's dis
tnguished guest. A city like Newark cannot afford to do such
things by halves. Mr.. Taft will arrive early in the evening. There
is no doubt about the satisfactory character of the reception the
Board of Trade will give to him at the annual banquet or of the
private courteses that will be extended to him. The public recep
ton will be on the principal thoroughfares through which the
President will pass. Ordinarily these streets are brilliantly illumi-
mated; they constitute Newark's Great White Way, and this illumi-
nation will greatly aid the effects to be produced. The Four Cor
ners can be converted into a centre of extra illumination and artis-
tic decorations, extending in all directions and making a picture
beautiful to the eye. If merchants and others on the streets the
President will pass through shall suitably decorate and illuminate
their buildings the effect will be heightened. There need only to
be added many thousands of people to complete the picture and
make one of the most beautiful displays Newark his witnessed.

EXPORT Duty ON rood.tuR..

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
If the law of supply and demand is
held responsible for the inflated price
Of ~foodstuffs, as is charged by the
heads of these piratical trusts, why is
not prompt attention given by Congress
toward relieving this intolerable situa-
ton?
II, as stated in some Of the news
papers, meat to the value of over 3d.
600, 1000 was exported last year and
grains to the value of about SIS, 600, 900,
why not at once enact a law imposing
an export duty upon every pound of
meat and bushel of grain, unless prices
become more normal? This would GER
tainly ease up matters for the bread

MAJ ANY cases of hookworm have recently been treated in the
Y City Hospital on Blackwelrs Island. AS the disease exists
among laborers coming from Southern Europe, its exist
ence in the hospital need not be wondered at, and a large develop
ment of the malady may be expected, as New York city will soon
enter upon an era of subway construction, in which thousands of
laborers will be employed, and largely of the kind among whom
hookworm is found. The disease can, however, be cured in, its
early stages with the assistance of wholesome diet. The trouble
in the South, where the hookworm prevails to a large extent, is
that the victims generally are infected with it in childhood, and
among the poor of the South the diet is not of a character to favor
4 cure.
