PARK BOARD TALKS PAVING
Effort Made to Improve Another
Route to South Omaha.
WANT WORK DONE THIS YEAR
President Rome Miller Names His
Committees for the Coming
Year-watsOn Heads the
Finance Committee.

At a special meeting OF the park board
Saturday morning the members again took
up the proposition Of paving South Thir-
tenth street from Vlnton street to the
city limits. Following their decision last
week to set aside $4,000 for portion Of the
improvements, the Board OF County Com
missioners requested that all the work be
done this year. which would entail an ex-
penditure of a trifle more than $S4 600 as
the park boards share.
The county board intimated that it would
reimburse the park board next spring by
levying the limit under the law Investign-
tion, however, disclosed the fact that the
park board did not have any fund with
sufficient money TO appropriate this
amount. Instead, the members agreed TO
set aside $4,000. to be gotten from the
road fund. which amount is stated TO be
sufficient to pave one-half the street The
remaining work will be done next year.
Definite action was delayed pending a
formal resolution, which the park board
win request the city council to pass Tues
day night.

BOSTON, Aug. 4~-Following a busy

the seventh annual meeting of the AS
ISOLATED Advertising Clubs of America
went to Point of Pines last night and

land clambake and shore dinner.
Mrs. Shaw-Thomson, of Chicago, ex-
planned the interrelations of advertis-
ing with daily bread. She said: 1.-THE
greatest possible testimony that adver-
Using is all economy to the consumer
is the fact that a great majority of the
women purchasers of the world favor
advertised goods. Women are acknowl-
edged to be good buyers. If they felt
they did not receive full value for their
money in advertised goods they would
not buy them"

THE scorcHINd OF THE WATER-sNAKE.

cTTa HE query occurs, in what other direction will the watersnake
appear to threaten the vital interests of the people of the
State? Where next will its trail be found? For it cannot be
credited that, with the last and most telling defeat of this sinister
enemy of the State, the objects so relentlessly pursued and so nearly
consummated will be abandoned. The snake has been scotched, not
killed. 1t il still a power in this State and it is strongly entrenched,
while its vigilance is sleepless. Unfortunately for the State, faith
less or careless legislators in the past enacted legislation in favor
of water company interests that must needs greatly embarrass the
policy of State conservation and may cost the State dear in money.
A representative of one of the East Jersey subsidiaries has ciphered
up the cost of acquisition of complete State control of water sup
plies at a figure approximately a hundred millions. The calculation
is utterly preposterous, but it indicates the expectations and pur
poses of the men who have sought to take New Jersey by the throat
and who will "get there if they can.

"pU7T1Nd THE PRESIDENT IN A HOLE"

OTIS HE "plot" to put the President in a hole is thickening at
Washington, and a majority of the members of both houses
are engaged in the plot. 1t has been well enough known
to the majority of the senators and representatives that Mr.. Taft
does not want to be compelled to act upon a tariff bill. While the
reciprocity bill was a tariff bill, just as much as are the wool bill and
the cotton bill, it catered mostly to the sentiment for reciprocal
relations. 1t wasn't called a tariff bill. Congress knew that Mr..
Taft wanted that bill to be passed. And Congress knows that that
was Mr.. Tafts limit. Why not stop there? Why, with that knowl
edge, 90 right on and pass a wool bill and a farmers free hist bill
and a cotton bill? 1t is a clear enough conspiracy to put the Pfesi
dent "in a hole" and the people ought to resent it, even II these
bills do promise a big cheapening of the necessarns of life.

More street Cleaning.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t seems. queer that a big city like
Newark can afford to let its street
cleaners work only from three to four
hours a day. This means that these
men earn about SO or 81 a week, and
many of them have to support FAM
lilies with this.
But by far the worst feature of this
rule is that most of our asphalt streets
are only cleansed ono or twice q week.
On account of this much manure
gathers on the streets and millions of
flies breed in 1t every day. If the city
would put it's men on full time or IN
crease the force the number of flies,
one of the greatest modern enemies to
health, would be greatly reduced. In
this way the spreading of diseases
would also be partly eliminated.

PUBLIC KEPT IN IGNORANCE OF NEW LAWS.

m SAME warden in Hudson displayed commendable vigilance
N\ in enforcing a new law when he visited a millinery store
at Union Hill on Wednesday night and seized sixteen
stuffed starings that had been prepared for adornment of feminine
headgear. The game warden acted by authority of the new law
f~orbidding the sale or use of plumaged birds for millinery. But
apparently the police of Union Hill didn't know anything about
the law, and the game warden, threatened with a charge of larceny,
had to appear in court to justify himself, and found that the court
itself was obliged to take d week off for a study of the law. But
the neglect of the State to provide a means of public information
about the seasonal laws is responsible for this ignorance of the
law, which is common with all new statutes. Many laws are dead
letter laws, because police and public and even judges, have no
knowledge of them. This Ignorance, which the State maintains by
it's neglect, is profitable to the lawyers and expensive to the public
which has to seek a lawyer to find out what the law is. 1t is bad
for law enforcement.

resemble the house fly. yet have many
very different traits, and the subject
of enemies of the house fly. There Is
a fungus growth which feeds on the
fly, and weave through him a growth
like cobwebs in a deserted barn. There
are parasites, and birds that hunt the
fly.
If the citizens of Newark start in
early next year, after the practise

able to make great advances toward

Japan, and the news of Japanese victories was received with uni
yersal satisfaction. The greatest interest in this country was felt
in the naval operations, and the brilliant success o. the Japanese
fleet under Togo in the Sea of Japan made our visitor a popular
hero in the United States. The impressions of that war have not
faded away. Admiral Togo still has all the proportions of a hero in

for ACKNOWLEDGMENT at the expense of another nation, and he may
take back to Japan a full expression of American goodwill.
