WIDER STREET SPACE IN NEWARK.

NV EW YORK has reason to regret the shortsightedness of the
AM generation that laid out the lower part of Manhattan Island
with lanelike streets that now, with the skyscrapers, appear
like canyons. The men who laid out Newark provided for two
spacious avenues the best heritage of Newark. Lam was cheap
and abundant then and they could have planned a city with wide
streets that would be a model city today. AS far as is practicable
we should correct their errors by street widening. If the Morris
canal bed in Newark shall be put up for sale next year the city
government may be enabled to acquire the ownership or permanent
use of the surface of the canal right of way from Broad street to
the Passaic. That will make a splendid thoroughfare. The widen
ing of Mechanic street before costly improvements are made on
that street is essential. Neglect of that improvement will be deeply
regretted in the near future. The centre of Newark needs more
street space, and as no new streets can be made there the aIte:na-
tive is to make broader streets where practicable.

charter? That is of primary impor-
lance in an issue like the present one
Without the initiative, referendum and
recall 1t seems as though the charter
was drawn up in only part sincerity.
Men with the city's interest at heart
would insist on this clause being made
a part of the city charter. What is the
answer to the question, why are they
opposed to it?
There Is very little room left to doubt
the answer. If the men making the
charter are not afraid to trust the peo-
pie with the commission form OF gov
eminent, they can rest assured the
privilege of initiative, referendum and
recall will not be abused. F. l. c.

u AND NOT COMMISSION WILL DECIDE

0TS HE question whether school children shall have to pay the
Ii full trolley fare, in accordance with the new law, is now to
be settled judicially, the issue having been taken to the
Supreme Court on certiorari. The Public Utilities Commission
last week ordered the trolley companies to continue the reduced
fares fol a month, pending a decision by the commission as to the
proper Interpretation of the law, but obviously, if the court shall
decide it to be the duty of the companies under the law to abolish
The discrimination for school children, the State Commission will
have no discretion. 1t must hold the companies to that interpre-
tation OF the law. Clerical and charity special rates on the rail
roads are also similarly affected, and have been suspended by the
railroad companies awaiting the authoritative decision as to their
legality. The feeling created by the application of the new law
10 policemen, fremen and school children, as well as clergymen
and charity workers, is such as to breed prejudice against the law
as a whole. IT is justly felt that the offensive features of the law
are inexcusable.

More Car. the Crying need.


To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
We heard some time ago that the Pub
lie Service Company intends to re-
lieve the congestion of cars at the -Four
Corners by q system Of signal stations
and semaphores.
l might suggest a better remedy thar
that, namely, to have more cars. The
enthusiasm with which the company
points out the advantages of the sema-
phore system is nice TO behold. 1t has
gotten 80 that very seldom does a car
run the whole length of the trip with
out some people being forced to hang
to the strap. The semaphore system
might relieve congestion and do away
with q lot of the combustion at the -Four
Corners, but that will not give every
one a seat.
And how about the other points Of
congestion? What is being done to corr
rect conditions there? There Is only one
remedy. and that is more cars. New
ark and vicinity has grown 100 per cent,
within the last ten years and the conn
pany has not given us asproportjonate
increase in the rolling stock.
Semaphores are all very nice, but
Newark does not consist OF Market and
Broad streets alone. Respectfully.
JOHN BACON.

COST OF MEEElCLENcY IN GOVERNED

fO ~luNS superintendent of streets, a highclass administra.
LID Tor, remarked at a meeting of the Boston City Club that
"the money that is lost in graft in this country is a mere
hyspeck 10 the loss caused by inefdciency." He spoke the truth.
There are evidences OF ineficiency everywhere in the operations of
national, State and municipal government. Very often there is
Il combination Of graft and ineffciency. An estimate of the cost
Of both to the nation would stagger belief. The figures for this
State might amaze people. We have inef1ciency in public work
for the reason that competency has always been a secondary con
sideration in public employment, and neither the State nor the
municipalities have been run on business principles. Among the
municipalities of this State Newark is the nearest approach to a
business establishment, and here, too, we find it necessary to get a
new charter for the sake of efficiency.

Just a Line
About Men
You Know

Few persons realize the hardships
and heart torments that face a police
court judge. In talking of the methods
used on the bench Judge Hahn, of the
First Criminal Court, stated emphat-
ically that while the position was a
most honorable one there we're many
hardships of which the average layman
knew nothing. You would be sur
prised," he said, ito know how much
a judge suffers mentally. I have always
been very careful of how / decided
each case. and I have given as much
consideration to the quarrels Of neigh
bors as / have TO cases OF assault
Then, too, when away from the bench
I am besieged by parents who complain
of Maynard children, by wives who
complain of erring husbands and OF
husbands who complain of wives. In
many cases / will admit that I have
been able to bring about reconciliations,
but in several extreme cases I have
been compelled to send them away
until they learned that 1t was best to
act right. Yes. the path of a police
judge Is not always smooth sailing"
During the last presidential election
Eugene V. Debs, Socialist candidate for
President, was speaking in the Colos-
scum and Vice-President Fairbanks In
krueger's Auditorium on the same
night. To show the political ignorance
of the average person who is not posted
one man was heard wondering why
two men running on the same ticket
could not speak in the same hall.

that the statue OF Lincoln, now In front

winning his bet. Solly and Louis are
partners, and usually good friends. but
the Lincoln statue has destroyed har-
mony In the barber shop. OF course,

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Being a resident of South Broad
street. l often notice the growing con-
gestion of traffic at the junction Of
Broad street, Clinton avenue and Lin
coin Park. This increase in vehicular
traffic adds to the danger of pedes-
TRANS at that point, and there should
be some traffic regulation installed
there before the matter is brought to
the attention of the public through a
fatality.
The speed at which automobiles pass
that junction ought to be prohibited.
There are too many car lines anu
roads for other vehicular traffic at that
crossing to allow speed. The pedes-
trian has all he can do to get across
safely under ordinary circumstances at
rush hours without seeing If he can
overcome the three-yard handicap given
by the motorist.
A policeman ought to be stationed at
that point which leads to Chestnut
and Broad streets and Clinton avenue,
at least during the rush hours. Owing
to the turn in the street there an auto
mobile going south on Broad street
and then up Clinton avenue is not seen
by the pedestrian until the machine is
almost upon him. One Of these days
someone win be MANNED or worse at
that crossing, and then the public viii

ENFORCED REsIdNA TON FOR DIAz.

MAMA after Madero, the insurrectionary leader, had announced
NJ the failure of the armistice and summoned his forces to
march on the Mexican capital did President Diaz yield to
the counsels of his advisers and make the desired declaration that
he would resign the presidency as soon as peace was effected. The
negotiations for a settlement may now be resumed. The doubt is
whether Madero can now control the revolutionary movement.
Elements are let loose in Mexico by the revolution that acknowl-
edge no authority and cannot be bound by any convention. The
spirit of pilage and rapine is abroad. Mexico is a large country
and lawlessness has a wide range and free play. Anarchy may
set in with a new government impotent to deal with it. At the
best the work of restoring normal conditions will be slow and
painful

eTaHE now famous plans made under direction of the Chicago
ii Commercial Club at a cost of 100000 for the Identification
of Chicago will be dilated upon at the city planning confer.
ence in Philadelphia on Monday of next week. These plans were
examined by Emperor William, of Germany, who is deeply in
terested in city development. and he pronounced them the most
perfect he had ever seen. All other American municipalities may
have the benefit of taking suggestions from the Chicago plans, and
Newark may probably study them.
