Poor Policy.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
The announcement that the round
trip fare IN the transit tunnel route
to New York will be thirty cents is
disappointing. 1t iG an excessive
charge n I think that 1t will lessen
the advantages of this new means of
communication to Newark. 1t is evil
dent that the railroad companies have
come to an agreement for the purpose
of preventing trolley competition. TIL
Pennsylvania gives little hope of high
class service. Market stree station is
to see little improvement, while the
quick transit line makes a shabby show
in Newark at least, Possibly the Penn
sylvania mas been made poor It's
reckless expenditures in New York
city, but 1t is bad policy to ignore the
needs of a community of a half-million
people, even il money is scarce.

NBoUT MEN,
<eUENoW

Fred T. Ward. president of Aaron
Ward & Sons, grocers. was one of a
group of business men discussing din
ner speech-making. The topic dealt
with the speaker who became 80 en-
Unused with his speech that he forgot
there We're other speakers scheduled for
the OCCASION.
THAT reminds me of a dinner | at
tended down South some time ago"
said Mr.. Ward. There were half a
dozen speakers on the program and
each one was allotted ten minutes so as
not to tire the guests. The first, secon
and third speakers talked for ten min
wound up and spoke for an hour and
ten minutes, paying no attention to the
numerous glares directed at him.
when the next speaker did get a
chance, he remarked that he would not
spend any more time than was neces-
sary for him to tell the following story:
"A farmer was throwing ear-corn
into a pig-pen when a neighbor came
along and wanted to know why the
farmer did not use shelled grain, in
stead of ear-corn, so that the pig would
get fat quicker.
"'"oh, what's time to a hog, any
way@' replied the farmer.
For several minutes the diners re-
maine so quiet after this that you
could have heard a pin drop in any part
of the large hail." concluded Mr.. Ward.
Il have a friend who is very bald,
and as he is sensitive about 1t I with
not give his name" says Criminal Court
Clerk Thomas K. McLelland. lone
night recently he was holding his I
year-old boy on his lap and both were
watching the mother curl her hair.
See, Johnny he remarked, 4

Johnny gazed earnestly at the bald
pate of his father and then said: Ne
waves; it's all beach,"

Query for Public Service.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
It seems to me that I read somewhere
that the Public Service officials said
that the company while not ready to
give a transfer on a transfer, is ready
and does give continuation slips. They
declared that when a a stops before
reaching the end of the line they will
give a transfer to another car on the
same line that goes to the end of The
route.
This. however, is not one The other
night / got on an orange car coming
from West Orange. 1 boarded the car
at Centre street, Orange, and was told
that it would go only to the car house.
I asked for a transfer because l did
not wish to wait fifteen minutes for
the text car, and was told by the con-
ductor that he could not transfer me
to an Orange car. My reason in asking
for the transfer is because there was
a through car right in front of the one
I was on, and l knew that we would
catch up with it by the time we got
to the barns.
I would like to know why the COM
pany makes exceptions in cases of this
kind. OTTO KAUFMAN.

EXPERIENCE OF THE NEW ELECTION LAWS

eTa He voters in New Jersey have already had an unpleasant ex
Ii perience of the new election laws in the registry which
will be concluded today. They will have another experience
In the election. Those who vote will handle a ballot nearly as large
as a page of THE STAR, containing a directory of all the candi
dates of all the political parties. On election day immemorial priv
leges will be abolished and candidates, party managers and party
workers who do not want to go to Jail will refrain from the
ordinary courteshes of life. The law is now so strict in that re-
Spect that it borders on the ridiculous, and certainly is a serious
curtailment of personal liberty. Reform in our election methods
was necessary. Everybody conceded that fact and most everybody
strongly favored reform. But apparently the trainers of the new
election laws aimed to make reform odious by constructing laws
that nobody could endure.

EXPEDITING FEDERAL JUSTICE.

m n hour cut off from IA lawyers plea is not much, but when
IA there are hundreds of lawyers and hundreds of pleas te
aggregate means a deal of time saved in a year. Business
of the United States Supreme Court is getting badly into the
drag, and Chief Justice Whites new rule limiting oral argument
to three hours instead of four will expedite the tardy course ri.
procedure. Decisions are now delayed two or three years, and the
new rule may afford a chance to catch up. Another reform is a
summary docket on which will be placed cases which the court
believes should be expedited. If the State courts shall also take
steps to cut short their interminable litigation a great reform will
be accomplished.

oTa HE Board of Works would have an ample appropriation for
Ii street cleaning if the public got full value for every dollar
spent. But it doesn't. The street cleaning department is
topheavy with generals and captains at good salaries and anchored
in their jobs by the civil service law, which the Board of Works
enthusiastically adopted for that purpose. 1t has been observed
that since the board took that step the department work, instead
of improving, degenerated. II was bad enough then. 1t is worse
now. And there is an excess of salary eaters when three or four
laborers are bosed by a foreman. If a commissioner of the Board
of Works should take Il contract TO clean the streets would he
retain the present organization or employ one like it? Not If he
retained his senses. He would get modern facilities. cut off the
sinecures and hire ablebodied laborers. But what he would not
think of doing in IA private business way he does from year to year
as a commissioner. And the taxpayer pays the bill
