Commission Rule Doomed.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
The commission form of government
has already proven itself so unpopular
even where the people have voted for
it. that it is safe to predict that we
have about reached the end of h a
political nightmare.
1t is safe to say, too, that it is just
about as popular as that other fad of
so-called reform. the voting machine,
now just so much junk. A like popular
disgust, followed by the inevitable
fate, awaits that other fad or frill of
so-called reform if 1t were tried on a
understanding people-the recall.
The primaries show that the political
pendulum has again begun to beat
Regular" A clock too fast is as bad
as one too slow. Let us have 1t right.
Too much care is once supposed to
have killed a cat. Too much progress
sive" will kill popular form of govern
ment. T. T.

RAILROAD COMPANY AS EXpPEssMAM.

ITa HE express company is a parasite middeman between the
consigner and the consignee. The railroad company per.
forms the transportation service, for which the express com.
pany takes pay. The latter company does no more than collect
and deliver locally. At the session of the National Association of
the Railway Commissioners at Washington yesterday IA resolu.
tion recommending that Congress be asked to require the railroads
to take over the express business was strongly supported, but was
referred for further Investigation. The logic of the resolution APP
peaIs to every intelligent mind. With little to add to their equip
ment, the railroad companies can. collect and deliver express matter
locally and perform the whole service at rates much below those
that are charged by the express companies. With the establish
ment of a government parcels post for packages of not over eleven
pounds, at cheap rates, the railroads would not have TO handle this
class of matter. Eliminate the express company and one serious
and unnecessary burden will be lifted from the public shoulders and
one great popular grievance will be done away with.

Air Problems bother Aviators.

Air Problems Bother Ayiators.
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Aviation enthusiasts claim that
eventually travelling through the air
will be as safe as land travelling, out
the death of young Cromwell Dixon in
Spokane, Wash, yesterday proves that
the mechanical difficulties of aviation
are the least the air pilots have TO con-
tend with.
The gasoline engine has reached such
a high state of development that it Is
practically Mfallible, especially the
models used in aviation. But who can
account for the vagaries of the wind
the airholes and cross currents In he
upper atmosphere. These dangers, to-
gether with the eccentricities of gyro-
scopic force. manifested particularly
in the rotary engine, make a harder
problem of aviation than many en-
thusiastic people would like TO think.

CALIFORNIA JUDICIARY LOWERED.

m S was predicted. California in her special election adopted the
GA recall including the recall of judges, among the amend
ments to be incorporated in the State Constitution. Before
the special session of Congress was adjourned President Taft vetoed
the Arizona Constitution because it contained a clause for the recall
of the Judges, and the Constitution was afterwards passed and
signed contingent upon the elimination of that clause. The Presi-
dents attitude was consistent and logical. After Arizona would
have become a State she would be free to adopt any Constitution
desired as .ong as it did not conflict with the Federal compact. But
for the President to sign a Constitution with a judiciary recall
clause would virtually amount to executive Endorsement of the
clause. Regarding such IA State policy as destructive of the indie
pendence of the judiciary and as the dragging of judges down
to the level of the lowest partisan parties, President Taft acted
from a high sense of duty in one of the strongest messages he has
sent to Congress in yetoing the Arizona Constitution. California
has now embodied the principle in her Constitution and must take
the consequences of his lowering of the judiciary.

BALL GROUNDSi ALL OUT!
j.


The "ET' was damned, completely
crammed,
The mob was far from tame,
But being thin, l crowded in,
And started for the game.
A lusty shout-"Ball grounds! All out"
Just seemed to be the cue,
For every fan at Ice began
A scramble to get through.
No charge was made by light brigade,
No rush by football 'leven,
Fer was a crash just like that dash;
Twas terrible, by heaven!

I lost my hat, then after that
l lost myself complete,
When twenty head of cattle tread
At once upon my feet.
1 fought and bled, great drops I shed,
And struggled through the fray;
Without a whine I formed in line
About sixteen blocks away.
The u sank low, the line moved slow;
| could do naught but walt.
The game was Ger long. long before
I ever reached the gate

THURSDAY EvENIN G, OCTOBER Il. 1911,
A NATION WITHOUT A NAVY.

cTa HE Turkish minister regretfully says that the defense OF
Tripoi was impossible, as Turkey had no feet He doesn't
explain the why and wherefore, but the reason may be con
jectufed. There is in Turkey, as in this country, a class of people
who are in chronic opposition to naval expenditures and who decry
the necessity for warships. These people, having no preselence and
placing a blind reliance on the goodw will of other nations, believe
that no possible cause for a war can arise. There is another class,
more ignoble. that would have the nation remain in a defenseless
condition in order that there should be no evidence of a purpose
for defense against attack, as it might give ofense. This class
would cravenly have the nation submit to any injury or insult rather
than engage in a war. Turkey virtually has no navy and her for
midabIe land forces are compelled to helpessly look on while Italy,
with her modern navy. Wrests from Turkey the last of her African
possessions. And the United States would be in the position Of
Turkey if Congress had listened to the doctrinares of a world
peace" and the promptings of foolish men who cannot foresee a
time when the nations salvation may depend on her navy.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Docs smuggling pay? This question
could best be answered by Nathan AL
len, the millionaire leather manufac-
turer, of Kenosha, Wis, and his
wealthy friend, John R. Collins, who, it
is said, were so friendly to Mrs. Helen
Dwelle jenkins. Both these men were
heavily fined for their part in smuggling
valuable jewelry. which is said to be
now in the possession of Mrs. Jenkins.
But this is not the question, for at the
same time these two men were fined
another smuggler. Abraham Lichten-
stein, was sent to Jail for four months.
This may be all we'll and good, but
why not also send the two millionaires
to Jail? Would it not have served the
ends of justice better to Jail such men
as these who allowed their infatuation
for a woman to carry them to such low
depths? 1t may be that am a bit Sc
we're, but, nevertheless, I would have
been glad to read of the men being
committed to a long Jail term. l would
like to hear the opinions of. others on
this subject. ANTI-SMUGGLER.

A WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC CRUSADE.

STN HAT the white slave traffic is being prosecuted lin cities of
this country in systematic ways there can be no doubt. Sew
eral years ago a hue and cry was raised. The traffic was
then conducted almost openly aud there wa. regular Importation of
females from abroad, with a scale of prices, while white slave
agents secured this country for victims. Since then the operators
have been more guarded, but the traffic has been kept up in furtive
ways. Efforts are now to be put forth by phianthrOpic organiza
tons, assisted by the department of justice, to break up the traffic
and bring the guilty wretches to justice. The religious and moral
sentiment of the land should engage in a crusade against an evil
that saps the foundation of society. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars that are contributed to foreign missions might better be
devoted to the salvation of womanhood at home. A crusade against
the white slave traffic needs to be heavily financed. Sentiment alone
can accomplish nothing.

Good Advice.

cOCo WIN
c'Never Fuss Over Money'-Woman,s
Home Companion.)
This sage advice comes just in time
To save me from a nasty pickle,
I was upon the verge of crime,
Ready to fuss with my lone nickel.
Away with idle fume and fret
And vain contention over money;
Jingle no coin in discard; let
The pocket-pe,f grow glad and sunny
This will appeal to most Of us
AS sage advice, and well-digested,
Our money could not start a fuss
Sufficient to get us arrested,
So let commercial clamors cease
And calm invest your empty pocket;
y nickel will not break the peace,
Unless persistently you knock it.
o treat 1t gently, soothe and pat
Its cares away, and do not hector,
And it will g-ow serene and fat
In time to greet the tax collector.

rr.i.e. Anti-ruberculo.i. Association


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Through the columns of the STAR
| nave beer watching the progress of
the Newark Anti-Tdberculosis Asso-
citation since its organization, and think
much more credit and recognition from
the public is due this body. Your
paper mas admirably supported the
work by giving 1t all the publicity it
deserves, but the attitude of the peo-
pie who are the benefactors of this
movement is discouraging.
Politics and other public affairs have
kept the attention of the people for
several months, but at this season Of
the year the association makes an APP
peal to the public which should not
be denied. The success or failure of
his work does not lie with 1.-The COM
mittee of one hundred" which organ
lied it, but with the masses who made
it necessary and whom'i 1t is benefiting.
Cooperation on the part of the public
with the officers of the Newark Anti
tuberculosis Association has been very
weak on the formers part. 1t is time
the organization should rise to its
proper strength through the now miss
ing cooperation. F. j. p.

THE SOFT COAL SMOKE NUISANCE.

NAV HEN a mayor violates a law of his own municipality the
WV ofense becomes conspicuous. Bogota, Bergen county, is
complaining bitterly of the soft coal smoke nuisance from
two paper mills, one of which is owned by Mayor William N. Smith.
AT the recent meeting of the Borough Council its legal adviser gave
assurance that in another month or two the State Board of Public
Utilities Commissioners will have taken decisive steps to compel not
only the paper mills, but the Susquehanna railroad, controlled by
the Erie, to cease distributing SCOT to citizens. Jersey Citys fight
against softcoal smoke has resulted already in partial betterment.
The smoke nuisance never has been as bad in Newark, but it is still
bad enough. Its prevalence in this part of the country dates from
the anthracite strike in 1908, when soft coal had to be used or
Industries stopped. When hard coal was again available the fac
tories and railroads kept on burning the cheaper bituminous article,
and the fight against it on the part of cities and towns has only
ahnnt hnrnn

Philip Clark, one of the boys n gray
of the local postoff1ce, was on a sight
seeing trip on Gettysburg's great field
of battle recently, and as the guide
was pointing out points of interest
thought he'd be funny and asked;
And where was McGraw's battery?"
And the guide, not feazed for a mo-
ment, shot an index finger towards a
certain landmark and exclaimed;
Just a little south of that
Then he went into details into the
composition of McGraw's battery
described most picturesquely an action
H. which, he said, it figured most
%gloriously.
Never again for me-" remarked Ed
die Minion, the Washington street
tailor to a bunch of friends the other
! day.
Never again what?' queried the
bunch.
"Take a girl to the ball game" said
Minion. II took one not long ago n
she told me she understood the gam
perfectly. The first mar to come TO
bat made a three-base hit and asked
her how she liked it.
"'oh, it's great was the reply, but
why does that man run so fast with no
one chasing him?'"
The late Sherrerd Depue was n OF
the best liked men at the bar of Essex
County. and, while an eminent lawyer,
had the modesty of manner that Is
attractive to intelligent people. While
his father, the late David A. Depue,
was Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court and his decisions and opinions
were constantly quoted by members
of the profession, the son never trad
ed on his fathers lame. His tact in
that respect was a source of frequent
| comment among his colleagues, who
revered the name great in the annals
of New Jerseys judiciary. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that the younger De-
pue was a martyr to overwork.

THE JURY OF THE WCINAGE.

o. EVEN of the alleged participants in the lynching of a negro
murderer at Gainesville, Pa, have been acquitted by trial
juries. When the sentiment of a community strongly favors
an act for which men are indicted the jury of the vcinage can be
depended on in nearly every case to refuse to convict. That is
human nature. And it constitutes the gravest defect in our system
of criminal justice.
