stated that the Geran bill vas to-
important a matter to be submitted to
the people,
Honesty in politics, as in everything
else, is most commendable, and unless
! these gentlemen have changed their
minds again since last March I con-
tend that Ii is far more d~espicable to
endeayor to get votes under false pre-
lenses and n1isstatemcnts than soma
Of the ways that these progressive"
gentlemen SO much object TO.
We want progress in our political
world the same as we do in business
life, n We want reform whenever IT
is needed, and I think that we have
made great progress during the last
few years, but fail to find where the
Progressive Republicans cdn claim any
credit for 1t, because all of the reform
measures have been introduced in the
Legislature by Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, and they have oecome avs By
the votes of Republican and Demo-
cratic Legislators, regulars Ut that.
who have voted for them and passed
them.
Business is not any too good just
now. and We have had bout enough
of this ;.gitation. and now to cap every
thing there is a rumor going around
that the Republican rrogressives and
the Wilson progressives ere going to
get together in this falls election. and
II this be true, then l say tina it is
time that the Democratic and Repub-
lican regulars unite on a complete
ticket of good men of both parties VIII,

sentative and practical character.

Unsportsmnnuke Conduct.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
suppose that all the persons who
go to see a ball game call themselves
sports. and yet | saw some of them
do a very unsportsmanlike thing the
other day when one of the umpires
was injured by a ball to such an extent
that he was forced to leave his posi-
ton behind the plate and umpire bases
after he had his wound dressed.
The jeering and the laughing on the
part of the spectators was positively
d~isgraceful. The sports" took great
delight in the mans injury. They either
do not know or forget that to be an
umpire requires more courage and
strength of mind than to be the aver
take that mans place when he was in
jured l wonder how many of those
sports" who laughed would have been
willing to stand for all the jeering and
abuse he has to stand for in an aver
age gamer
The mere presence of a man at a
baseball games does not make him a
real sport. To be a sport to lie
cheerful to a winner, fair to a loser,
generous to ones friends, TO keep II
OF a fight as long as you a and fight
like the mischief when o have to. A
man who will laugh at another's mis-
fortune cannot lay claim to being a
sport, not ven to being an average
decent man, and I was very sorry to
see the exhibition Of brutality dis
PLAYED on the ball park Saturday.

Opposing witnesses May BE Honest.

Opposing Witnesses May BE Honest.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
Ny attention was attracted to a let
ter in the Rostrum columns of a recent
issue of the Evening STAR from a cor
respondent, who, after II day in a
local court room, decided the oath Is
held too eheaply in this country. He
heard witnesses testify in direct con-
tradiction 10 another on the same
subject. One of them, he thought,
must be deliberately lying and should
be punished.
The writer of this letter does not
agree with your correspondent. It is a
matter of common knowledge that very
few people have the same perceptive
powers. An incident may appear
white (~iguratively speaking) from
where one person is standing. and from
the position of another the same thing
may appea black. 1t is very seldom
two people look at a thing with the
same eyes or the same idea.
Al illustration of how a person will
swear to his knowledge of a matter
honestly, believe himself correct, and
yet be wrong, is shown in the old trick.
"How does the figure six on your watch
appear to your" Many persons will
describe the six in Roman numbers,
while others are positive it is inscribed
In other ways. In most cases a look at
the watch reveals there is no six, as its
place is occupied by the second hand.
All of the people t%ruthfully believed the
appeared as they described it, yet
they We're not correct. Could you call
them guilty of perjury?
The watch incident is called a
catch" although many persona pull
out their watches twenty times a day
and yet are not sure of themselves.
Matters before a court might be of en-
tirely different natures, but they can be
seen in as many different aspects as
there are witnesses.
The writer will admit, of course, that
there is a certain amount of false tes-
timony given by witnesses directly in
terested in the issue. But to assume
that there exists such an epidemic of
perjury as your correspondent would
intimate is ridiculous.

About Men
You Know

There's a most interesting little
building within a two-mlnute walk
from the -Four Corners" remarked an
old-time Newarker the other day.
This is No. 2S6 Washington street,
and there is a time-worn sign on 1t
that tells the story. The words Yves
ton Dynamo-Electric Company are
tarely legible. 1t was in this building
that Professor Edward Weston laid the
foundation of his fame and fortune.
Before his time it was a synagogue
There is one man In the postoffice
building who can always be depended
upon to champion the policy of arbi-
tration. He Is Theodore G. Burgher,
OF the customs house department. who
has an enviable reputation as a peace
loving citizen. His excellent policy was
demonstrated when the customs off
Gals were patrolling Newark bay.
A new law regarding motor boats had
been passed by Congress, and the
customs men were holding up the
pleasure crafts to see that the law
was carried out. One boat owner, ap-
parently, did not recognize the gov
eminent ensign of the customs boat and
would not stop when ordered to. The
officer in charge became impatient at
last and threatened to shoot a hole in
the fleeing boat. Mr.. Burgher urged
him to walt. feeling sure there was a
misunderstanding.
1t turned out that the latter was
right. The runaway turned around
and came up to the government boat
and its owner a~pologized, declaring he
thought the affair was just a race for
the fun of it. Mr.. Burgher showed his
companions where force was uhneces-
sary, and won another point for his
universal peace argument.
President Lyman T.. Kane, of the
Police Commission, while at the Police
Board. meetings is a severe man. His
knowledge of men has made him a
great reader of characters, and he is
able to distinguish when a man mr.
idiSHtd ptioIe lHt DOdIu Is lellLlR Ln0
truth.
There is not a meeting but the board
has to consider charges against some
of the policemen, and President Kane
is always the one to do the question
ing. At a recent meeting a man who
was charged with failing to send In a
duty call had a real good story framed
up and stated that he had neglected to
pull because he. had stopped a run
away. The story was plausible and
would have gone, but Mr.. Kane asked
why the man had not been brought as
a witness. The patrolman stated that
he did not know the man by name, but
admitted he had plenty of opportunity
to notify him, as he saw him several
times since notified concerning his pull.
There Is another case Of untruthful-
ness" said the president.

BIGGER SHIPS AND NO DOCK room.

WAV 1TH the launching of the Titanic, the new monster liner of
WW the White Star Line, at Belfast, comes the announcement
that the Hamburg-American Steamship Company has
placed an order with the English builders of the Titanic for a
steamer $50 feet long, exceeding the length of the Titanic by sew
enty feet. This challenge will doubtless soon be answered by the
long predicted thousandfoot ship by one of the British companies.
But the allimportant question is harbor depth and dock accom-.
modatons. For the two new White Star liners of 1924 feet there
is now no dock in New York harbor where they can lie without
leaving their sterns project far out into the stream, making dock
age dangerous. For the proposed new marine giant of the Ham.
burg American company there is no dock room at Hoboken. But
steamship companies do not build bindly. The greatly increased
size of their vessels evidently means the creation of new deep
water terminals, and in the case of the Hamburg American pre-
sumably the abandonment of Hoboken.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
] would like to take issue with IN
A. L." who wrote in the Rostrum that
he did not think that the German
American and Irish-Ameriean societies
of this county should have entered a
protest against the proposed peace pact
between Uncle Sam and John Bull.
IN. A. L." has the wrong bull by
the horns in this case. when he thinks,
or pretends to think, that such a pro-
test is not timely.
John Bull yer did need watching, for
he has been the most notorious land
grabber among all the nations of the
earth. and he will repeat history IL he
gets the slightest opening.
Let IN. A. L." remember what the

that the sun never sets on the red flag:

The CORPORATION coUNsEL,s VIEW OF 1T.

1a He memorandum filed with the Public Utility Commission by
the general counsel for the Public Service Corporation shows
that in its Interpretation of the commission act relating to
the free transportation of policemen, fremen and school children
the company acted upon the advice of it's lawyers after they had
made a critical examination of the act. Mr.. Bergen, the general
counsel, sets forth the reasons for this advice, quoting from the
law and legal authorities to support his views OF the act. The
Court will ultimately decide the matter, but in the meantime it is
the duty of a lawyer to instruct his client to abstain from acts that
he believes are unlawful, and obviously it should be the care of
the client to act upon expert legal advice.

A LONGER SCHOOL e e

IN ABANDONMENT for this year of the proposal submitted to
the Board of Education by Superintendent Poland for an ex-
pertinent of the extension of the school term from forty
weeks to fortyeight weeks in order that children in the elemen-
tary schools may be enabled to complete their course in shorter
time does not mean final abandonment. 1t has become a serious
question, indeed, whether the prolonged summer vacation, with
the additional extended holiday periods, is conducive to educational
interests and also whether it is not an injustice to parents whose
children are obliged to leave school early to help in the family sup
port. The question will keep.

0na HERE is a well-settled conviction at Washington that if Taft
Ii shall be renominated by the Republican national convention
Vice President Sherman will not be his running mate. Sher
man was the choice of Cannon and other stand pat regulars in the
convention, and his nomination was a concession to them in their
defeat on the nomination for the head of the ticket. The scandal
in the New York State convention afterward impaired Sherman's
prestige in New York and he will lack his former strength when
the next national convention meets. There is also a conviction that
II nominated Mr.. Taft will need a very strong tail to his ticket to
help pull him through.

A LEONE RAINFALL.

oa HE breaking of the long drought by a soaking rainfall has
relieved the growing fears of the agriculturist. The rain
storm coming when it did was an immense boon. 1t saved
millions in values to the farmer and it was equally kind to the con.
sumner, for if the drought had been much prolonged there would have
been scarcity and high prices in the markets and an impoverishment
of the milk supply. The storm has also largely refled depleted
reservoirs and half dried wells, doing away with apprehension about
water supply.
