The People 5 Rostrum

nicieus habit of splitting on the street
What is tho matter with the author
tiles anyway? Do they never carry out
tha letter and spirit of a law unless
they are forced to?
When we consider the nature of the
disease, the thousands of people that
are carried off by 1t annually. and
when we discover that 1t is absolutely
preventabie by stopping a hing that
would not be tolerated in any nice
home for a minute, why don't We so
ahead and stop that thing.
To my knowledge, since the activities
last year, that lasted only abaut two
weeks, there has not been one arrest
made for a violation of the ordinance
except an arrest on the car. and that
was caused by the conductor, who is
not a public Official.
When these matters are viewed with
impartial eyes n gets that hopeless
feeling that we are not going. ahead
at all. The laxity displayed by the
public servants would moi he tolerated
for one moment by y private one, and
it IS noi yet apparent to me why There
should be any difference.

Newark Needs subway.
Of tho Evening star:

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t is understood that the Public
Service Corporation is trying to install
a signal system at the Four Corners to
regulate traffic. Any movement that
will tend to alleviate the congestion
which now exists al Broad and Market
streets during the rush hours is worthy
of consideration. But the plan just
mentioned is not what is needed. New
ark needs a subway.
If a person does not realize this let
him go up in n of the buildings near
the -Four Corners and watch the dis
comfort of people trying to get to the
cars, others trying to get TO the other
side and narrowly escaping being run
down in the act, and he will be salts
fled that we need something more than
a signal station at this point.
A lot of credit is due to the four po-
licemen and Public Service fiagman
stationed at the -Four Corners. These
men, time and time again, by hard
work and wit, prevent many serious
accidents to pedestrians and collisions
F HAHiNEt Ht
between vehicles of every description.
But one of these days something un-
foreseen will III a tragedy at this
point that will make the officials take
notice. 1t is queer that human liyea
are often sacrificed before a much
needed public Improvement Is supplied,
The mayor and Common Council
have gone on record as being In favor
of a subway for this city, and all the
influence that can be brought TO bear
upon the members of the Legislature
should be put forward at his time
so the city Ear have what IL has nesded
for years. Each YEAR Newark needs
a subway mora than ever. which ought
to be guarantee enough that it will bi
much used and appreciated in years tc
come. TRAFFIC.

Keep Ont of Politics.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
While the work which the public well
fare committee of Essex county has laid
out for itself is highly commendable, il
would be well If the members make up
their minds at once not to MONKEY
with politics.
The committee, which has most ex-
cellent names on its list, has civic bet
terment as its object. In the little
list however. are some names which
have ~ehronically figured in Ike en- e.
prises. Then when election day rolled
around. the owners of these names got
busy, not much to the betterment, out
to the detriment of the majority of the
people of his cosmopolitan city.
Let us hope that the laudable aims of
the committee will not be wrecked upon
the same rock that has wrecked sc
many organizations of a like kind.

CANAL CRAFTSMANSHIP AT TRENTON.

SITa HE Delaware and Raritan canal being an intrastate canal, the
Legislature has the power TO egulate its tolls. The canal is
leased to a foreign railroad corporation, the same as the Nor
rs canal, but as it has proved useful as a feeder it has not been
wrecked in accordance with railroad policy. But any other but the
traffic of the lessee is seriously discouraged by excessive tolls and
regulations. Consequently manufacturing and other private bust
ness on the line of the canal has languished. There was an lin
yestigation' of the canal affairs by a legislative committee a year
ago, but, as was expected, it amounted to nothing. There is a bill
in the Legislature providing for a reasonable schedule of tolls, but
the bill does not have the ghost of a show for passage. The STREET.
wolf resolution for a suit by the attorney general to abrogate the
Morris canal charter for violation evidently has no better prospects.
But the Governor and attorney general are dickering with the canal
wreckers to see how much salvage from the wreck the wreckers
will allow the State for The privilege of taking all the rest. Would
il not be more in line of craftsmanship to make the Raritan canal
tolls reasonable, in justice to the State and to shippers, 80 that
canal navigation can have some show. and at the same time either
hold the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company up to charter obligations
it has violated or forfeit the charter?

II FOURTEENTH WEEK Al TRENTON.

NARITH the view to ~expediting the long delayed business of the
WV Legislature and Fastening the hour of adjournment the
Senate today broke precedent with a Monday afternoon
session. This is the fourteenth week of the legislative session and
all but one of the measures pronounced of the most Importance are
still pending. The situation hardly has a parallel. Nor has there
been any indisposition by the legislators to attend to business. The
Legislature met with a sincere purpose to make a record for Itself
and if it has failed in that purpose the fault is not entirely that of
he Legislature. The prentice hand in lawmaking and administra-
ton has directed affairs in a way confusing and confounding TO ex-
pereneed legislators. And now the Legislature wants to adjourn.
1t is felt that fourteen weeks is the limit. If the session shall sur
vme the present week it may be difficult to get a quorum of either
house in another week.

Women In once.

women IN Omce.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Women are beginning to get a chance
at politics, as shown by reports that
a woman is mayor of a Western town,
and right in our wv suburbs they
have been elected to manage educa-
tional affairs. They are making head
way surely. Perhaps we will see the
time when the su~ffragettes are laying
down the laws for the ration.
There is a lot to be said on both
sides of this question. 1t is well known
h a many of the men entitled to vote
at present take so little interest in the
affairs of the State or country, either
through ignorance or negligence, they
really should not be allowed to vote.
They vote according to the wishes OF
a corrupt politician, whose energies
are never spent for the good of the
public, but are intended to put money
into the pockets of the people he rep.
resents n himself.
The latter class of voters are wor
by a drink or two of liquor. Such ner
need someone to look after them
Their wives and children are the ones
to suffer from his foolish vote and his
habit of drinking. Should these womer
ever get q chance at the polls they
would save hundreds of families AND
dollars by abolishing intemperanee.

tn RACTICALLY the entire National Guard of New Jersey wants
liz the Legislature to enact the officers retirement bill TO re
leye the guard of the incubus and reproach of irremovable
officers past the age for active military duty. Only a handful of
officers with whom personal or social reasons and influences prevail
oppose the bill, and they have summoned to their aid against the
bill every influence that can be brought to bear upon the members
of the Senate. They are endeavorng to have the bill strangled
in the militia committee of the Senate. If these lobby efforts shall
prevail, a wrong will be done to the State and an injury to the
National Guard. The reasons for the enactment of the retirement
bill are unanswerable. The absolute necessity for a retirement law
is plain enough for the comprehension of the veriest Ounce. If the
Senate shall yield TO the personal interests and influence of a few
selfish men. it will make a deliberate sacrifice of a bounden duty
And there can be no mistake in regard to the bill. No senator can
vote ignoraDtIV.

LAW-MAKINd GALLop AT THE FINISH.

TT ASTE in passing and signing legislative bills has been re-
iF1l sponsible for a vast amount of confusion in the laws, en-
barrassment and loss to municipalities and costly llhga-
ton in the courts. In various ways it has cost the municipalities
millions OF dollars. This practise has also permitted all kinds of
Joker bills TO become laws. And the evil seems to be incurable.
After wasting two-thirds of the time of the session waiting upon
the Record-Geran bill the Legislature suddenly began to put bills
through in patches, and in patches they have been signed. In two
signed bills serious errors have been discovered, one the important
bill providing for smaller boards of freehoiders in counties.
Hundreds of bills are now on the calendars or in committees and
the two houses are disposed to gallop many of them through. II
they receive no closer executive attention than was evident in the
eases of the two defective bills THAT were approved and signed there
nay be other vitiated laws,
