ROBERT DAVIS.

cTa HE death of Robert Davis, of Jersey, City, Is a event 10
Ii make men pause in the busy activities II lie with wnnn
he was so we'll and prominently identified. 1t Is nard TO
realize that one who filled SO large a place In the life of his county
and State has passed away; that the great heart that tnroooeo
with so much of human kindness and sympathy and was responsive
to every appeal of public and private duty is sthled; that ROBERT
Davis is no more. The death of no other man in New Jersey conio
evoke more general and sincere expressions of regret In his city
and county especially the universal feeling Is one OF sorrow ana
loss A great lender has fallen. The trusted counselor and gener-
Gus helper of other men has no more counsel to give and no more
aid to bestow. The friend, held in affection by thousands OF rs
fellow citizens, lies cold in death. Robert Davis had a career tnat
marked him as one of the most forceful men this State has pro
duced. He was a born leader Of men, and he possessed the WISDOM,
courage and tact to maintain his political leadership IN HUDSON
county, almost unchallenged, for many years and up to the hour
of his death. His personal characteristics commanded FOR MN Il
devotion amounting almost to affection from the thousands u lei
who acknowledged his leadership. Like all leaders IN party poiocs'
Robert Davis was exposed to the bitterest detractlon, but he calmly
pursued his way, feeling that he could trust to the better judgment
of men for a just estimate of his acts and motives. Ihe death OF
sobert Davis makes a void in Hudson county. Party leaders come
and 90. but it would be hard indeed to fill the place of this man
in the confidence and affection of the people of Hudson county

THE SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE.

x 1T UGH is expected of the Legislature that Is to convene II
AVN Trenton tomorrow. 1t is a divided Legislature, with a
Republican Senate and a Democratic House, and for the
first time since January, 1896, there will be a governor elected by the
Democratic party to make recommendations to the Legislature, sign
or veto it's passed bills and dispense State patronage. Certain
measures of public policy will be acted upon by this Legislature
and if they all become laws a material change will be made In state
policies. Certain measures are SO sure to be passed during the
session, with practically no opposition, that the Senate majority
has fayorably considered a plan to pass them in short order prior
to the Inauguration of the governor. The Republicans have passed
through a period of bitter party dissension that contributed lin no
small measure to their defeat in the November election and they
are chastened by that experience. The voice of discord in Repuo
lican councils has died away and it will now be the policy Of the
party leaders to bring about a complete harmony. The contempt
of the public judgment exhibited in the last three sessions of the
Legislature will not now be in evidence. 1t is evident, also, that
the Republican leaders believe that their great asset this year ID
the discord in the Democratic party that followed the victory at
the polls. and they make no concealment of their desire that 1t
NAV be prolonged in the relations of the Governor and the Demo
cratic legislators. Reading their own experience last year, they
foresee a similar outcome at the polls. But whatever may be the
events of the session as they affect political parties, there can now
be no doubt that reasonable popular legislation will have a clear
field. That assurance was given when the new Legislature was
elected. The Democratic State platform, adopted before any nomi
nations were made, was a deliverance that the people sanctloneo
by their votes and adopted as their mandate.

To the Eiitor of the Evening Star:
5 I read an article in a recent issue
Of your morning paper stating that in
New York city there has been organ
lied a society to combat the loan
sharks. AS a citizen of Newark, I
hope this city will follow suit. These
usurers practise their illegal tactics
right here in our city. 1 happen to be
personally acquainted with one of the
victims, who, when misfortune struck
his home, and he was in need Of
money, answered one of these friend
in-need advertisements and was roped
in.
The victim borrowed $50. and by
clever manipulation OF the interest and
fee system. they collected $50 in less
than a year from the poor fellow. He
had to pay these blood-sucking rascals
or lose his household effects. These
fellows should be stopped. So let New
ark fall In line and organize to fight
these criminals. Yours,
NEWARKER.

just n hood Talker.


To the Bditor OF the Evening Star:
During his campaign for governor
DR.. woodrow Wilson made thousands
OF friends in this state through the
apparent sincerity of his. tone and man
ner. But his actions in the past few
weeks are causing the general query
us that all he Is, a good talker?"
When former United States Senator
James Smith. jr, in a formal state
ment declared that the governor-elect
stated, THE primary is q farce the
doctor owed 1t to his friends and sup
porters to fully explain the charge. He
has persistently evaded 1t. Why? the
answer is obvious-the g~overnor-elect
would lose prestige If he answered
truthfully.
Simply because he believes the pri-
mary to be the voice Of the people ne
has started this fight over the senator
ship question. Now he does not answer
a direct charge that he is fooling the
people, and has been doing SO all along.
Governor-elect Woodrow Wilson made
a great impression upon the writer
when he made his last campaign speech
here, but facts are facts, and the doc
tors silence is greatly helping to lose
his friends as fast as he made them.

short weights Thriving.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Despite the Evening STARS crusade
against short-weight business men.
and despite the efforts of the city
sealer's men to stop this common
form of dishonesty, there are grocers
and butchers in the city still engaged
in cheating the public at every oppor-
tunity. Strange to say, 1t Is not only
the small merchant that is guilty of
this practise, but many of the largest
dealers init city. 1t is a positive fact
that in some of the largest butcher
shops the shortest weight is given.
One of the reasons as given by a
butcher is this: Employers in hiring
help tell them that they are expected
to make their wages, no matter how
poor the business may be at any par
ticular time. This mean that the
employee is forced to give short weight
in order to make sure of his job.
While the STARS reporter was
making the rounds In search of dishon-
est dealers, there was less short-weight
giving than there is now. No doubt
the merchants think that the STAR
has forgotten all about them, and that
1t will never again take up the ques-
ton. II would be a blessing to the
citizens of Newark II the STAR were
again to take up the cudgel in their
defense. SAM BLACK.

IN N innovation by the State Board of Health this year is the pub
T\ LEGATION prior to the Legislative session by the State Board Of
Health of a pamphlet of twentynine pages containing an
excerpt of the annual report, which usually does not come out
until after the session is ended. Consequently the Legislature does
not get the benefit of the information and recommendations con-
tanned in the annual report In the excerpt statistics are omitted
and a general view is taken of the work of the board during the
year, with suggestions as to the better carrying out of that work.
There is no department of the State government of as much impor.
tance as the health department, which has to do with medical and
sanitary inspection, sewerage and water supplies, creameries and
diaries, the manufacture, storage, transportation and sale of food
and drugs, hygiene, oyster inspection, vital statistics, etc. Here
is presented a vast field for work, presenting infinite details requir-
ing for proper attention by the board a large inspectorial force, as
we'll as the services of specialists in the laboratory. 1t is only
necessary to glance at the annual appropriations for the State
health department to see that its executive equipment is absurdly
inadequate. For the present year the total of the appropriation
for the department is only about $4,000 for an amount of work
that could not be adequately done at a less expense than $15OO00.

THE CARNEGIE TRUST FAILURE.

eTa HE collapse of the Carnegie Trust Company in New York
after a "still run" on the deposits that shrunk from
$1S,500,00 to about 81, 100000 follows the ruin of two
smaller financial institutions by the knavery of an official. Whether
there is criminal liability in the management of the trust is yet
to be determined by investigation, That its affairs were shsky
was known privately some time before the collapse, and hence the
persistent withdrawal of deposits by those who were informed.
Three minor banking concerns are seriously affected by the trust
company disaster, but may be pulled through by outside aid. If
there existed at this time any feeling of financial insecurity, the
failure might have a bad effect generally, but business and finance
are on too solid a basis for any apprehension. Special causes led
to the closing of the Carnegie Trust, such as might be in operation
under any banking system in the world. The New York banking
laws will now be strengthened in view of this objectlesson to pro-
vide still better safeguards for depositors.

What an intensely interesting situa-
ton was presented when Commander
Peary faced a partially hostile COM
mittee of representatives Saturday and
submitted his proofs of his discovery
OF the North Pole April 6, 1909. At
the request of members of the commit
tee the explorer described his journey
from the time he left Captain Bartlett
until he returned. He showed also the
original notes and observations he had
made during that time.
The gist of the entire controversy
the source OF all doubt concerning the
truth of such a claim-was contained In
the question asked of Commander
Peary by Chairman Butler, of the com
mittee:
WAS 1t absolutely necessary for you
to be at the Pole to make these obser-
~vations?" he asked.
Commander Peary admitted that e
perts did not agree on that point.

The purposes Of the Russell Sage
Foundation are not very generally I'M
derstood, as the public only learns of
ats endeavors bit by bit from time to

has been begun by its agents against
loan sharks will help to make 1t bet
ter understood. Suits against Ave
usurious companies have been begun
in New York and q great many more
are promised. A determined effort is
to be made to destroy these extortion-
ers who prey upon the unfortunate

New York one of the agents Of the
Foundation makes this amazing state
ment.
THE 400 chattel and loan companies
doing business in New York have an
aggregate capital of about $1,000. 900,
which, by short-term loans, is made to
do an annual business of about $50, o00,-
900. The average cost of the loan to
the borrower is about 10 per cent. a
month, or 1876 per cent. a year. The

A Paterson oma who admitted she
was 81 years old, although, II the facts
were known, she may be considerably
older. such Is the eternal feminine atti-
tude in such matters, complained to the
Paterson authorities recently that her
husband had beaten her. The man, 1t
developed, was but 80 years.
Is II not amazing that a man should
have lived almost a century without
having acquired a sense of the eternal
fitness of things? Until equal rights
and privileges are forced upon us, all
men should understand that no provo
cation can xcuse a lack of gallantry
under ordinary circumstances, but
when the sighted lady in the case is
admittedly the elder. II is difficult to
understand the situation.
1t Is natural TO indulge In speculation
a little, since the circumstances are a
bit unusual. Has this sort of thing
been going on for the past seventy-hve
years. or was 1t only recently that this
Paterson mar forgot hat he was his
wife's natural protector and began to
take violent exception to her moods?

1t Is rather difficult in this country
TO understand the scene at the rail-
way station in Viterbo, Italy, Satur-
day, when the popuIace fought the po-
lice in seeking the release of thirty
terrorists who had been brought TO
that remote point for trial. The pris-
oners, all of them alleged members Of
the Camorra, and one of them said to
be its head, have been awaiting trial
for three years.
Despite the fact that this dread or
ganization is the reputed author Of the
darkest crimes in the criminal annals
of Italy. 1t looks to the popuiace for
support when it's members are in
trouble. The mob which surrounded
the railroad station at Viterbo with
the intention Of freeing the murderers,
incendiartes and other escorted GRIM
inals was not made up entirely of rel
atives and personal friends OF the ac-
cused men by any means. sympathy
for them is general and widespread
and seriously retards the course of
Justice. Their trial will be watched
with especial interest in this country.
