Defends Monnhnn,s Action.
itor of the Evening Star:

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The action of Sheriff Monahan in
s%uspending two employees in his de-
partment who held confidential posi-
tons under ex-Sheriff William Harri-
gan, and who claim protection under
the civil service law, was the right step
to take.
Under the law the sheriff is eptitled
to appoint a first deputy and private
secretary, who are in the exempt class
under civil service. Messrs. Reilly and
Delaney filled these position under ex-
Sheriff Harrigan, but did not nave the
titles, being known as undersheriff and
clerk, respectively.
Mr.. Monahan's move will result in
an early test of the law that will set
tie the status of undersheriffs and
clerks in the sheri IS office for all time
to come. TAXPAYER.

EARLY HOLIDAY sHopp1Nd-BEdlN NOW.

oTS HE Christmas season sets in this week with Thanksgiving
1t is said that the chief charm of Christmas lies in anticipa
ton, both with the younger and older folk, and that char.
acteristic of the festival stretches out its pleasure a month ahead.
People have begun to study the store windows and some fore
handed ones have even started purchasing their holiday gifts. And
may their tribe soon increase. The stores are all well stocked,
for the storekeeper is always forehanded. He is ready long before
the shopper is. If Christmas shopping was evenly distributed over
Il month. beginning this week, it would be an unmixed blessing
alike to shoppers, storekeepers and the employees in the stores.
There are many people who are unable to do their holiday buying
until late. They are numerous enough to fll the stores. When
there is added II horde of people who could have conveniently done
their shopping two or three weeks earlier Il positive wrong is done.
As holiday shoppers are mostly women, the women's organizations
should combine to use their efforts to get their sex to shop early
and leave the field clear for those whose circumstances compel
them to make their purchases late.

Blame for HousehoIders.

To Tie Editor of the Evening Star:
1t seems very strange that among
all the complaints about the condition
of streets, in New York, as we'll as
some in our city, not any have been
entered against those wretches calling
themselves citizens who throw from
the doorways and windows refuse of
all sorts. These people add to the ex-
pense Of the city and %endanger the
health of all. OF course the majority
of our streets and emu are kept
pretty clean, but there are a few ex-
ceptions, and these should be taken
care of. JUSTICE.

SMUGGLING IN ALL LINES.

TT f Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh has said, as quoted, that
Ill 'there is not a line of merchandise being imported that is
not in some way tainted" he makes IA startling confession of the
failure of the administration to check customs frauds. This Ian
guage, of course, was not uttered for publication, but is alleged to
ave been used at a meeting of appraisers from all over the coun.
try, summoned to New York to discuss the smuggling evil. Mr..
MacVeagh, however, has said publicly that he is in hearty accord
with the efforts of United States Attorney Wise to get jail sen
fences for all smugglers, and by implication the secretary upholds
the severe criticism made upon federal Judges in New York for the
nominal sentences imposed on rich smugglers.

MONDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 20, 1911.
ABSENTEEISM AT TRENTON.

@FFICIAL absenteeHm at Trenton was one of the principal
w indictments in the report of the Hahn Assembly committee
in 1907 that investigated the State departments. 1t was
shown that some official heads spent more time away from their
Offices and in their personal business and recreations than they did
in the performance of their official duties. The example of this
absenteeism could not fail to have its effect upon subordinates.
There was 10 criticism of the governor in that respect, for until
the present administration was inaugurated New jersey governors
were nearly always on duty or within easy call and seldom left
the State long enough to require representation by an acting gov
ernor. The example of the chief executive, as well as that of the
head of a state department, has its effect upon subordinates. A
pledge for a gubernatorial candidate to adopt in 1913 might be one
to be always on duty in the State, and no acting governor.

Commend. independent Dealers.

TO the Editor of the Evening Star:
The formation of an association OF
tobacco merchants in this State to try
to combat the trust shows that the
men engaged in that business have at
last awakened to the fact that some
thing must be done to prevent the
octopus from putting them out of bust
ness completely. The action of these
men who have formed the organiza-
ton will be watched very closely by
the American Tobacco Company, and
every attempt to hinder the octopus
from spreading will be fought.
Now a word to the members of the
independent association. Stick to-
gether and work hard, and although
you may not be very successful at
first you are bound to do something
that may put an end to the trust thai
Is making your existence barely pos
sible. CITIZEN.

AN ACTIVE SOCIALIST CAMPAIGN.

JENCOURAGED by the general increase in the vote in the elc.
IL ton and by their admission to official primary privileges,
the Socialists have begun to prepare for their campaign in
. this State next year. The Sodaistic propaganda will take OIL new
vigor and, begun early, will be conducted throughout the winter
and the spring. If the State should go back to the district system
OF electing assembymen the chances would favor the election of
Socialist candidates for the Assembly in IL few districts, introduc.
ing the Socialist element in State legislation for the first time.
But while it will not be possible for the party to elect, except, per
haps, some loyal official in next years elections, i. is likely to poll
a vote in the State that may decide results for the old parties in
the general election.

He STATE SENATE ELECTED NEXT YEAR

cTNiIE Republicans barely saved the State Senate in the recent
election. The loss of one Republican senator next year
without any Democratic loss to Offset it will make the Sen.
ate OF 1913 Democratic by one majoritys Six counties will elect
senators in 1912, namely, Burlington, Cape May and Passaic. which
now have Republican senator's, and Hunterdon, Middesex and
Sussex, which have Democratic senators. The Republicans must
elect three senator's out of the six to retain control, while if the
Democrats elect four senator's they will secure the Senate ma
joity. They are sure of two senators in Iunterdon and Sussex
and they have much the better chances in Middesex. Republican
hopes must, therefore, depend on carrying all the three counties
they now hold. The Legislature of 1913 will elect a United States
senator.

TEXAS AS A BASE FOR MEXICAN REVOLUTION

cTTa HE indictment and arrest of General Bernardo Reyes in Texas
for organizing and directing Il revolution against the new
government of Mexico is IL step too long delayed. Mexico
has just elected a president and congress, after Il popular revolu,
ton that drove out Diaz, and the great difficulties the new govern
ment is experiencing in restoring order and the supremacy of the
law command American sympathies. Our government should not
permit Mexican adventures TO hatch conspiracies and set revo

with energy in tbp matter.

DIRECTORS WHO DO NOT DIRECT.

ID FINANCIAL institutions will be the greatest sufferers by the
Ii singular decision of the Appellate Division in New York
granting a new trial to dummy directors of a trust company
that was wrecked by improvident loans. Once let it be generally
understood, as the courts ruling implies, that a great name may
be lent to the directorate of a company without the man who bears
the name being expected to concern himself with what the company
is doing, and such names will cease to inspire public confidence and
attract depostors or investors. If there is any State where the law
excuses directors from directing that law ought to be changed in
the interest of trust companies as well as of the public.
