PROSECUTION OF IcE TRUST OFFICERS.

IT N filing the complaint against the ice trust in New York yes
terday Assistant District Attorney Ford remarked: CAS- see
it, the same situation exists here as i'm many other ice trusts.
When a court orders that a trust be dissolved the trust takes the
procedure simply as a matter of bookkeeping. 1t carries on the
same business in a slightly different way. When the American
Ice Company was fined $4,000 two years ago l pleaded with the
grand jury to Observation-Disclosures for over two hours. 1t was useless
for me to try to make the jurymen see that if a corporation is
guilty some of it's officials must be guilty There Is an aroused
public sentiment now, and it should have it's effect upon reluctant
grand Jurors. If the officers of the trust shall be prosecuted
criminally and punished perbaps this will be the end Of icetrust
pethods. at least in New York.

THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.

cTFa HIS year all the signs indicate that there will be a united
Republican party organization in New Jersey to confront the
Democrats in the November election. With Republicans
pulling together to elect their candidates, the only Democratic hope
will lie in unity, organization and leadership. 1t was SAID OF oiu,
and the truth has been taught by many bitter experiences, that
"a house divided against itself cannot stand" There was a strlk-
ing exemplifcation of that truth in Republican defeat last year. A
divided or discordant Democracy cannot carry New Jersey this
year, and there is no magic to conjure up a victory under such
conditions. 1t is time now for the Democrats of the State to choose
between the essentials of victory and the elements of defeat-be-
tween harmony, organization and united effort, or discord, dis
organization and the disjointed efforts that inevitably lead in dis
aster.

Through your Rostrum, 1 desire to
make a protest against the lax "a in

THE TRENTON COMMISSION PRIMARY.

IT F there is any encouragement in the experience of Trenton as
far as it has proceeded for the advocates of the Walsh brand
of commission government for municipalities it is hard to see
where they find it. The primary election yesterday was not OF a
character to justify the promises given for the Legislative act. And
having nominated ten candidates for commission, five of whom
must Be chosen in the election next month, the voters have no
alternative but to choose five out of the ten, as under the law there
can be no independent nominations. To be sure, there is the recall
to be resorted to, but that means more elections and more political
turmoil at times when people want to be rid of politics.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
I would like to write a few lines in
praise of the Evening STARS free
outing committee. The boat trips to
Rockaway will do many children worlds
Of good and will help to ave many
young lives. I was at the wharf the
other evening when the boat returned
from Rockaway and l never saw a
happier bunch of youngsters.
But the free passes to Olympic Park
are also a great thing for the kids,
They win teach them to be clean In

many of them out of trouble. l don't
think that the Evening STAR a be
too highly praised Tor its efforts in

Favor. municipal Ice plant Plan.

Fayors Municipal Ice Plant Plan.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Your proposition to utilize the gifts
of nature in the Pequannock valley
watershed to the full appeals to J 10.
1t seems to be an entirely feasible and
laudable suggestion. Your editorial of
this evening puts the matter in a most
telling l~ight-nothing more need be
said, it seems to me. The rapacity of
the icemen In the Jour of public need
merits just the sort of practical rebuke
that the establishment OF a municipal
ice plant would administer; but, above
all, a real need of the neediest of our
people would be met in a sane and de-
quate way. The objections I have
heard so far don't seem to have much
weight-to those not in the ice busi-
ness-whereas the arguments for the
proposition are peculiarly command
ing. l heartily wish the whole affair
might be seriously considered by those
In authority in our city. Sincerely
yours, T. ARD MOFFAT,
Pastor First Congregational Church.

Caucus in adopting the present

said tonight the Crumpacker bill
will be adopted, giving West Vir-

have been very active and assert
that they havo enough votes pleged
to defeat the bill adopted by the

Nobody questions that an in

Primary Bill Passed.
After disposing of the La
cey bill, the House without
loosing any time, passed the
Campbell Cooper primary
bill, there being only five
votes to record againt the
bill, the five descenters being
Epling, Goodykoontz, Ken
ney, Shaver and Strother.
Kenney, of Taylor, having a
primary measure of his own
which he felt had not been
given the consideration it
deserved, absolutely decIin-
ed to support the Campbell
bill, and denominated it as
purely an experiment, while
his measure, he said, was an
adoption of the Oregon law.
Campbell-Cooper primary bill
which passed the house today, in
brief provides for a direct pri
mary for all the candidates from
United States senator down to
constables; such primary to be
held in June and to be held by
both parties at the same time, SO
that there may be no danger Of
Republicans voting in Demo-
cratic primaries, or the reverse.
The bill further provides that all
members of the county. senate
ria judicial and congressional
districts shall be chosen at a pri-
mary election.
August is fixed as the time for
both parties to hold a state con-
vention to adopt platform.
The primary system is even eX-
tended to choosing delegates to a
national convention.
The brunt of expense is to be
borne by the counties as in a
generalization, candidates mere
ly a nominal sum.
For instance a candidate for
the United States senate is only
required to pay $40 for each
county.

Faaiff Commission SineLures.

pointed shall be for terms Of two,
three. four, five and six years re-
specially, to be designated by the
president, who shall also designate
the member to be chairman. the
salary of the latter to be 81, 500 and
that of the members to be $1,000 q
year. The present tariff board will
expire by limitation on the 3Oth of
June next, What it has accom-
pished no one knows. What the
present board can or will accom-
plish is equally nebulous.
Six nice, fat snecures are Great
ed, and there is no limit whatever
to the amount that the board may
expend in securing information on
matters to be considered in revision
of the tariff and considering the
same to congress for its action. But
congress always has had this infor.
nation, and upon it since Republi-
can dominance has fixed exhorbi-
tant rates 1t will depend upon
who is in power. If congress were
to continue Republican, and the
board recommended reduced SEIZED
ules it would be about as effective
as a flea biting a hippopotamus. II

the board recommended increased
duties, upon its scientific" compi.
lations, its recommendation would
be laughed out of court,
AS pointed out by Champ CLARK

will be simply number of Office
holders at fat salaries who can junk

work, in the very nature of things

Danger in Poor Seed Corn.

One of the incidental results of
the recent State Corn Show at the
University at Morgantown was the
discovery that considerable
amount of corn that looks good is
really of poor seed quality. The
fact should serve as warning to
the corn growers of the State; for
the apparent meaning of the tests
made at Morgantown is that much
Of the corn grown in West Virginia
during last year is in such condition
that it will not grow.
The story is as fellows: The
corn show brought to the UNIVERSITY
about one hundred and fifty sam
pies OF corn. After the prize-win-
ming samples had been separated
from the rest, two lots of forty ears
each were taken at random from
The remaining exhibits for GER
mination test, which was made by
the class In corn judging under the
direction of an expert, The results
were surprising. In making the
tests six grains were taken from
diffent parts of each ear and placed
in box of sand until they sprouted
or had time to sprout. These tests
were made in duplicate in order to
secure a thoroughly reliable result.
In the first lot of forty ears, the
test showed that only sevent five
per cent of the corn was good;
twenty five per cent being worth
less for seed. In the second lot of
forty ears, better results were OBJ
tanned, only fifteen per cent failing
to grow, eighty five per c-nt being
good. The general average for the
eighty ears was eighty per cent per.
feet. In other words, two ears out
OF every ten were worthless for
seed.
No farmer can afford to plaut
corn and have fifteen or twenty or
twenty five percent fail to grow be-
caus" of dead seed. Enough of
the perfect grains will fail to pro-
duce good stalks without plan ting
dead grains that might be used to
some good purpose for chicken feed
The lesson Is that farmers should
test their seed corn before planting.
They should be sure that every ear
Is good ear in all of it's parts; then
they 1hay expect good stand when
they plant, and good crop if soil
and culture and weather conditions
are favorable.
