Wants 8. p. G. A. Law Changed.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
For many years I have been con-
nected with a business that demands
the use of a large number of horses
for delivery purposes. and during that
time have nae a chance to learn of the
great benefit Of the s. P. c. A., and
also of the great wrongs of the s. +.
c. A. I would ask you for a little
space whereon to let loose my howl.
The great work and purpose of the
s.. P. C. A. is to see that horses and all
animals are at least given a square
deal. To do this they apparently have
out one way-and hat Is by welding
the club given them by the kind State
laws, which are arbitrary, and for
whose execution there are often rich
rewards for INSCRIPTIONS justices of
the peace. 1t is this evil particularly
that makes the g.. P. c.. A. an OBJ
noxious thing to man. horse-owners in
this city.
The usual procedure In an everyday
''pull-up" is for the s. p. c. A. officer
styled such by virtue of a tin badge
to take the driver, often on the slight
est of charges. to the nearest justice
of the peace, fine him, usually $40 to
SIS, and then call up the drivers en-
ployer to pay the fine. The employer
of course is not usually present at the
proceedings Neither is an opportunity

H THEY FELT SORRY.

A theatrical manager delighted IN

other quietly, "but I was there
"Oh, you were. Well, you noticed
how swimmingly everything went OFF
OF course, I made a bungle of one part
by falling into Ophelia's grave, but I
think the audience appreciated even
that"
1T know they did," said the man
ager, with a slight smile, "but they
were frightfully sorry when you
climbed out again!"-Boston Traveller.

THE PIONEER IN AVIATION

TIA VERY great advance in civilization has it's pioneers to blaze
the way. The greatest splendor of the history OF mankind
u is the achievements of those brave and devoted souls who
were in the van of progress, the men who opened new continents
and found new ocean pathways for commerce. No less honor can
be given to the great inventors who have conferred so many bless
ings upon the human race. The American Wright brothers were
pioneers in the navigation of the air. No sooner had they demon
strated that the air could be navigated by a motorpropened ma
chine than a race of daring pioneers in aviation was revealed. In
the United States and Europe these intrepid men seized the oppor-
tunity and enthusiastically put their lives to the venture in develop
ing it's uses for the world. The progress they have made seems
miraculous. But recently the aviator was circing around in a
restricted area. Yesterday Hamilton drove his biplane from Man
haitian to Philadelphia and back at express-train speed. He practl
cally accomplished all he set out to do and he demonstrated that
oould be done. His performance showed the practicability of
an airship Journey from New York to Chicago, and finally clear
across the continent. 1t was a splendid contribution to the worlds
knowledge by a man who, with Curtiss, has done more than any
other Of the pioneers in aviation to make the air a highway of travel.

A LIMITED COLLECTION.

They tell In London a story of an
elderly American lady who, while
sightseeing. visited Westminster Abbey.
After going about for some time with
an air OF eager curiosity, she ap-
preached a verger. II wonder II you
can help me?" she asked, hopefully.
I am. looking for the grave Of King
Edward H."
Sorry. ma'am," said the vereer,
alphabetically. "but we 'aven't got King
Edward II"
But" protested the visitor, IT un-
derstood that tho Abbey was the burial
place Of kings"
80 It is, ma'am, In a way" returned
the verger "but we only ave the odd
numbers 'ere."-Harper's Weekly.

ORGANIZING THE PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

I'M Ii that the State Railroad Commission has the power TO oo
IN is to investigate and make recommendations. Does ahyoouy
believe that the railroad companies will abandon ther III.
creased tariffs for passenger traffic at the request OF the commls-
sion? Back of the commission is the Governor, whose power Is
restricted to calling a session of the Legislature and MAKING recon-
mendations. There is no power to act except in the Legislature.
And that power will never be used unless the Legislature is im.
PEELED by irresistible public sentiment brought TO Dear upon nS
members. 1t is necessary, therefore, to bring out this sentiment,
organize it and make it effective. The Orange meeting was a al
start. Tie invitation of Newark's mayor to the authorities O otner
municipalities for a conference at Newark City Hall is anotner. 10.
morrow night the Board of Trade will probably call a conference OF
representatives of civic organizations, with a view to concerted
action. By these means the sentiment of the people OF northern New
Jersey can be made so formidable that the Legislature, when called
together, will know that a power has been aroused more potent than
that of the railroads, a power to which the Legislature must bow.

why the Churches Fail.
the Editor of the Evening Star:
1.-THE man of brain and the man OF
muscle is leaving the church" This
announcement was made by
the Rev. Percy Stickney Grant before
the members of the Episcopalian
Church Club about two years g
out of more than 800 professors at
Harvard only two attend chapel con-
tinued Mr.. Grant. Surely q statement
coming from 80 eminent an
is worthy of consideration. Why does
this condition exist? While Mr.. Grant
was not altogether prepared to give a
reason for the empty church pews, ne
perhaps unconsciously rave the best
explanation for 1t when he told OF the
large number that attend the social
economics study class in the Church OF
the Ascension.
Men, as well as women, will attend
church as soon as the church becomes
active and as soon as ministers VIII
preach on live topics.
If the church were to help make
present conditions such as to permit
the practise of the golden rule the
houses of God would not be large
enough to hold those who would wish
to enter.
In the Third Presbyterian Church ir
this city a class in Christian economics

A sENATORSHP IN CUMBERLAND.

Y ssEMBLY M s,. lsAAo IT, T.: \ NICHOLS as,aqs ssn Of ou a1e e ss,, an,
in the Senate two terms, from 1881 to 1886. He also served
in the Assembly in 1877 rs. His election to the Assembly this year
was like a resurrection. Long retired from Legislative life, Nichols
kept up his politics, and his candidacy last year was inspired pr1nci
pally by his feud with Edward G. Stokes, as his present candidacy
certainly is. There is an old party tradition that a candidate for
United States senator must have the support of the representative
Of his county in the Senate. If Nichols can get himself elected SEN
ator from Cumberland he will antagonize the selection of Stokes
as the party candidate in the Legislature. Then he can feed fat the
grudge he bears. So the Republican voters in Cumberland will have
their choice next fall of nominating and electing Nichols to defeat a
Cumberland county senatorial candidate or of nominating and elect
ing a senator who will help to send a Cumberland county man to
the United States Senate.

IN ATERsONS Common Council, like those Of Bayonne and
Plainfeld, yielding to interested advice, violated a manda-
tory duty by ignoring petitions for special elections on
voting machines. All these Council boards have since seen the
light and retreated from the lawless positions they had taken. In
Paterson toGay two election districts are voting on the question of
the retention of the machines. Bayonne will hold an election In a
few DAYS. and in Plainfed the Council will act upon a new petition
to be presented by the voters. In all three cities the agents OF the
voting machine trust have marshaled their influences and forces to
seem verdicts for the machines. 1t is realized that if the election
districts continue this year to vote to put out the machines it will
be impossible to prevent the enactment of a voting machine law
repeater by the Legislature next winter, even though Senator Ere
lingbuysen II his confrere, Alderman, can secure a grip upon it in
onpnrnittoo

But the legal luminary did no,

he had been touched until his new

tied by these thieves was certainly
not less than a three-carat stone Of

their profession ruled even in the
courtroom, and the opportunity to
ply 1t was not neglected. though the

THE CITY BUDGET FOR THE YEAR.

TIA STIMATES for the annual city budget submitted to the Com
S mon Council finance committee last night aggregate 5000,
9O262, of which 81, IA, $685. is mandatory, leaving $3,413,
O9S.73 to be trimmed down by the committee. Added to the city's
resources for the year is $45O,00O to be taken from the contingent
fund. Some close figuring will be necessary to keep the taxrate
within the figure of 50 on the 500 of valuation, but the amount OF
assessed valuation will determine the rate. AS the budget figure
given is tentative, there will be considerable reductions in some OF
the items before the budget is approved.

REVISION OF THE ACCESSION OATH.

X Nth commendable courage Premier Asquith has announced
WV in the British House of Commons that he will formulate
a bill modifying the accession oath to remove from it
those phrases that insult the intelligence and violate the spirit Of
the age. The debate on this bill will bring out of their caverns all
the lurking monsters of religious bigotry. 1t will aresurrect gloomy
characters in Englands history that the progressive Englishman
would like to forget. The debate will have an unfortunate effect for
some time upon English social life. But England has outgrown
the musty tradition of the accession oath and is, we believe, pre-
pared to reform or discard it.

testifes. Yes, this is to be quite an
interesting campaign.
Convincing proof of the high degree
OF skill river drivers must daily use In
their business was furnished Sunday,
when Edwin A. Chase made good his
boast of being able to negotiate the
treacherous channel at Hell Gate on a
log without getting his feet wet,
Stories of the prowess of the lumber
men of the northern woods ave been
accepted by those who have never had
the opportunity of seeing the. proof for
themselves much as they would accept
the narrative of the digging of a new
canal on Mars. Chase's feat forces
home the conviction that the logging
yarns have not been exaggerated.
The scene Of their successful en-
deavor seems usually to have a fierce
and sometimes almost fatal fascination
for thieves. They often find it profitable
to crafty a craving to return. Some
buildings are robbed so regularly hat
the looting assumes almost h nature
of an annual function. The postoffice
at Sussex, N. j., for instance, has been
robbed four times In four years. The
theory that 1t Is useless to lock the
stable door after the horse is stolen
evidently is carried in these cases to
the point where h a %precaution is neg
lected even after there Is another
horse in the stable.

Good Shade Tree Work.

Good Shade Tree Work.
To the Dditor Of the Evening Star:
That the periodical wal on caterpil-
lars on the shade trees in the RoseviIle
section of the city, carried on by the
Shade Tree Commission, is bearing
fruit can be readily seen by those who
are to look.
1t is the habit too frequently in
dulged in to criticise public officials,
and while some Of them deserve ad-
verse criticism, this certainly does not
apply to the commission in question.
Never before have the thousands Of
shade trees of Roseville appeared moro
luxuriant than they do nov In "the
leafy month of June" / believe that
this. is largely due to the Intelligent
work Of the commission. It is this
kind of work that makes the inhabi-
tants of mo mean city" proud and
they are willing to pay for 1t.
The grateful shade of the city's trees
will be more and more appreciated as
the season rolls on. A t~reeless city
would be a desert indeed and treeless
this city would soon become II the war
against their enemies becomes lax.

height. 50 that the mark set by the
cost of living still stands.
Perhaps Mr.. Hamilton is the only
living man who knows whether or
not the map of New Jersey bears
any family resemblance to the State
itself.
Trenton has seer legislative and
collegiate high-fiyers. but Hamilton
seemed to have 1t all ove all Of
them.
The aviator explained to the
Perth Amboys that he had Just
dropped In for a minute and would
have to fly directly.
The telegraph wires did not suf-
fer from lack of fuel, and had Ham

break In his return journey.
