FIRE DRILLS.

The prompt name in which the
school buildings of this city are
emptied at the sound of the fire
alarm is gratifying to parents, and
those who are in charge of the drill
are to be commended. We hope it
Will always be a case of drill in this
city and that pupils will never be
required to march out when there is
actual danger. But the students can
not be too well prepared. The only
way to keep them so is by frequent
drills of this nature. Let the pupils
become so familiar with marching
out in this orderly am that they
will do it mechanically even should
they actually smell the smoke and
hear the cracking of the flames.
Frequent fire drills in all the schools
are an absolute necessity.

DIR. wILEY's GOOD WORK.

AS if to convince President Taft
that he made no mistake in vindicat-
ing him, Dr.. H. W. Wiley has I'M
earthed n of the worst cases Of i'm
pure food manufacturing hal has
ever been brought to public attention
in this country. This case is Of par
ticular interest to people of New Jer-
sey as it has been found in this state,
the plant being located on the mea-
! dows near KeaTny.
DR.. Wiley proves that he knows his
business by the manner in which he
has gone about this case and has suc-
ceeded in gathering much valuable
evidence by which he hopes to con
Yict the parties accused.
1t seems that at the plant on the
Kearny meadows, horses that have
died of various diseases, haye been
prepared as food for human Consump-
ton. The case is an aggravated one,
| as it not only involves the dealers at
home, but much of the meat is
shipped abroad. It is further de-
cIared that the manufacturers OF
this Canned horse have been as
sisted in their nefarious business by
Senator Briggs and other officials at
Washington.
1t is no wonder that Dr.. Wiley has
won the hatred of a great many man
ufacturers of impure foods when he
goes about his duties in such a thor
2ugh and generally finds the guilty

confidence of the voters at another

confidence of the voters at another
election.
While every right thinking man
admits that combinations in business
are necessary within a certain limit
at the present time, there is no doubt
that this privilege is greatly abused.
We have only to refer to the present
price of sugar which seems to be soar
ing almost beyond the reach of the
poor a 1t will be remembered a
short time ago it was found that the
sugar trust had been defrauding the
government by fixing" the scales or
the docks where the sugar is import.
ed so that the trust has actually
stolen millions Of dollars that should
have been paid in the form of duties
The trust was compelled to refund
much of this money and there is rea-
son to believe that the people are
now being forced to make it up SC
that the sugar barons will still be
able to get away with their plumber.
In the face of all this President
Taft's expression that he is satisfied
with the present condition of trust
laws is not likely to stand well. He
may be the only man in sight for
the presidency as far as Wall street
is concerned, but it is becoming more
and more apparent that Wall street
is not going to have it all it's own
way this time.

EVENING NEWS has taken up the
cause of the citizens Of Fords in
! their efforts to have a polling place
located in that vicinity. The Leader,
in an article published IN a recent is
sue, tried to show hat Fords was
getting all that 1t was entitled to
from the Woodbridge township COM
? mittee, giving as instances the new
p school house, improved roads, water
supply and a few other things of that
kind. But the fact that Fords i:
deemed important enough to be giveI
d all these things is an admission tina
that section of Woodbridge TOWNSHIP
is thickly populated and therefor
should be given one of the poll
where the people can go and vot
without having to journey seyera
miles to the village of Woodbridge
1t is particularly selfish Of Wood
bridge to deny this claim of tn
Fords people when there are tw
polls in the village. 1t would seer
as if n polling place in Woodbridg

TAFT AND THE TRUSTS.

Immediately following the speech
made by President Taft at Detroit, in
which he declared the trusts were be
ing properly handled and that the
present laws are adequate to bring
them to justice, we note that Wall
street has taken a decided stand in
favor of the President. and Andrew
Carnegie makes haste to declare that
Mr.. Taft is the only II in sight for
the presidency in 1912, and that
Democratic opposition to him will
have entirely disappeared by that
time. All this is very interesting to
the people. The present laws may be
adequate for handling the trusts but
if they are we do not seem to have
the right executives to execute the
laws. While several trusts have been
ordered to disband and a few fines
have been imposed. we note that the
big combinations are still in exist
ence and are doing business practical
ly the same as before, only perhaps
under different names If this is the
way President Taft carries out hts
promise to eurtail the trusts it is
hardly likely that he will hold she

THE APPLE TREE STORY.

Paragraphs have recently been APP
pearing in newspapers that a young
apple tree is to be planted to replace
the old apple tree under which Lee
surrendered to Grant at AppomattoX.
This apple-tree legend survives
the years, and all attacks upon it. 1t
is such a pleasing legend, blending
poetry and tragedy, botany and
arms, that people persist in believing
it, These fruit-tree legends, the
Grant apple tree and the George
Washington cherry tree-are great
deal harder than the fruit trees
themselves, and live to ripper age.
The apple-tree story has very little
fact to sustain it. Lee did not sur
render under an apple tree, but in
the parlor, on the right of the en-
trance of the house of Wilmer Nc
Lean, which set back in a big garden
on the main street of the village of

Marshall, entered the Mclean house

Sheridan, Ord, ingalls,, Rawlins,
Seth Williams, John G. Barnard and
Colonies Horace Porter, Orville E.
Babcock, Ely S. Parker, Theodore S.
Bowers, Frederick T. Dent and Adam
Badeau. The articles of surrender
were agreed to, written and signed,
the conference concluded at 4 o'clock,
and at 4;30 o'clock Grant sent the
dispatch to Secretary Stanton an.

the bloom off the story to announc-
that April, 1865, was backward

The old orchard long ago disap
