VIVIAN THE pEopLE IKE INTERESTED IN.

oTH HERE is no disputing the assertion by George H. Record
that the people are just now much more Interested IN
cheaper shoes and cheaper clothing and cheaper food than
they !arein arbitration and a uniform divorce law and such things.
Saws Mr.. Record: "How to make times better, work more plentiful
and better paid, wages higher and prices lower-these are the
problems that concern MS vitality and which must be solved" That
is trne. Arbitration can wait, and so also can a uniform divorce
law, wfich will not be possible, anyhow, in less than FIVE or ten
wears. The cost of living is an immediate question. Every time a
man paws, his grocer, his butcher II tailor; every time the woman
buys clothing, shoes or house supplies, it is with a sense of being
robbed. Every man and woman looks to the government for relief,
and no subject can be paramount in the public interest to that
of how relief may be obtained. President Taft represents the gov
erpment. and today he started on a trip of thousands of miles with
prepared addresses, some of which he might just as well have left
in his desk at the White House. The people are not interested in
these subjects. or if they are they prefer just now to hear the Pres
ident talk on the one subject that occupies their thoughts and enters
into the daily economy of their households.

THE CANDIDATES. RECORD.

X A HEN a man offers himself for candidacy for election to a
WV public office he also voluntarily submits his private record
to public examination. That is his imperative obhgatlon
If his record cannot bear examination, if there are blemishes In 1t
to mar his candidacy, shall he blame anybody but himself! AND
what better time for a scrutiny of q candidates fitness than the
period prior to the nominating primaries? Should, indeed, the
examination be left to representatives of the opposite party, to be
made after the primaries, when the harm done to the candidates
party cannot be repaired? These queries suggest themselves just
now on the eve of the Democratic primaries in Essex county. Theie
has been no raking up Of the past in the case now before the public.
That which is now a matter of notoTiety is of present occurrence
and was developed without any investigation. 1t came out purely
as a matter of news, like any case In court. Without regard TO
any political candidacy it was the right of the public to be in
formed of the, facts relating so intimately to the proper administra
ton of trusts.

HARMON IN ACTION

~ OvERNoR HARMON, of Ohio, has done little talking at the
Mt governors conference, and evidently because much oil the
talk was academic and almost desultory and led up TO noth
ing. At the session yesterday the Ohio executive showed action.
THE question was that of the integrity of the States as against
the encroachments of the Federal power. The people OF the etates
have been made FESTIVE by the decisions of the inferior Federal
courts that trench upon the vital powers of the State. In some
eases the assumption of authority by these inferior courts has
been extreme. Every governor, with one exception, at the confer.
YESTERDAY expressed the sentiment of the people of his state
in condemnation of this invasion of State rights, and Governor
Harmon is to head a committee of governors to wait on the su-
pFeme Court at Washington with a request that the inferior courts
he admonished and checked. This incident brings Governor liar
m more prominently in the Iimeight before the people OF the
East. "There is no getting around the fact says the Post CORE
spondent at Spring Lake, that Harmon is looming large before
the Democrats and is being discussed in undertones' in the hotel
lobby after dinner whenever a couple of governors of any or both
parties come together"

Care for the Body.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star
The movement to provide open-air
rooms in the schools for anaemic chill
dren and those Of consumptive ten
denotes is worthy of encouragement.
The successful operation of a room Of
this kind in one of the schools last
year should furnish sufficient reason for
the universal adoption of this splendid
method of dealing with a difficult
proposition. Rooms in all of the schools
where the number of this class OF
children warrants should be arranged
exclusively for those scholars whose
health and comfort seem to demand
such attention. There is not much use
to train the mind and neglect the body.
1t is far better to fit the body first and
train the mind afterward.

TIE SITUATION IN MAINE.

e1 HE close election in Maine on the prohibition question invites
reflection. A handful of votes decided the election in a State
of more than one hundred thousand voters. The question
was a vital one. 1t involved the reasonable liberty of the citizen
whether that liberty should be impaired to such an extent by the
law that social customs that are wellngh universal elsewhere
should be outlawed as criminal. If an Overwhelming majority of
a population should so decide its mandate might be obeyed with
some grace by the small minority, but it is found in Maine that
almost exactly onehalf of the population have been subjected to
the tyranny of the other half in a matter of personal liberty over
which majornies should have no control. The situation in Maine
for years has been a denial of ordinary rights that are guaranteed
by the Federal Constitution. 1t has been an anomaly in a republic.

Larry Sutton, scout for the Brooklyn
baseball team, returned to the city last
week, after a trip through the West
and South. He tells how fortunate he
was in making a train that he was sure
he was going t. miss. In one of the
Southern towns he was standing on the
corner waiting for an automobile to
convey him to the station. Along came
a large red touring car.Nand. coming
close to the curb, the driver said,
Hello, Doc, l am going as far as the
station; want to take a ride?" Larry
got into the car and was talking shop;
when the station was reached he got
out and thanked the driver as he
handed him a cigar. The driver, as far
as Larry knows, still is In ignorance
that he is not a doctor, but at n
rate the scout got his train. d
DR.. Werner Runge, the well-known
veterinary surgeon. was in Montana

the stage-driver.

fessed that he did not know
why said the stage-driver. that
is Jones; everybody knows him, or
ought to know him. Jones was once
a sheriff hereabouts and Teddy"
Roosevelt had the first job in his life
Under him. Jones made him a deputy
when the former President was out

DR.. Runge shook hands with Mr..
Jones and expressed his qualification
over meeting him.

A GENERAL sCHOOLBOY STRIKE.

OTIS HE force of example is just now being exhibited in London
by schooboys. Recently England was demoralized by a
great labor strike, and the schoolboys read the particulars
in the newspapers or learned about the strike from their snes,
most of whom are wage earners and were sympathizers, The ex-
ample impressed the juvenile mind, and when some agtators among
them proposed a strike for shorter hours for study and any other
old thing they entered upon it with ardor The strike is spreading
and as it spreads the number of broken school windows multplies.
And the end is not yet. Let us hope that, as we have had only a
mild reproduction of the London sufragete agitation, we may not
get the schooIboy strike in any aggravated form.

Dissertation of Lincoln Monument.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:

against the desecration of the Loncoln
statue in front of the Court House. I
pass it twice daily and frequently on
Sundays. Boys and girls climb over
It. and already it is badly scratched.
How long will it last if this is per-
mitted to continue? 1t seems to me
that children in our public schools
should be taught hat patriotism also
consists of respect to statues of pub
lie men. VETERAN.

Let Drunks Walk.

To the Editor of the Evening Star!
I would like to use a little OF your
space to call attention to the disgrace
full way in which the street-car CON
ductors allow drunken people to ride
on the public cars. Newarkers can
say that there is not much drunken
ness in their city, but the trouble is
that most of the men get drunk in
the central part of the city and then
wish to ride home. No person who Is
clearly drunk should be allowed to
ride in a street car where he is likely
to cause annoyance to the other pas
& | have read of European
cities compelling drunken people to
stay off the cars and even some of our
own cities have such an ordinance, but
not so in Newark. l have seer ladies
so Disguised by the vile remarks of.
drunken men on the cars that they
have left the car. This condition
should be stopped. RIDER.

An Old EniIinR.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
It Is not an unusual sight in this and
other cities to see women when alight-
ing from a street car face in the wrong
direction.
The writer saw one woman fall yes
terday. She was not hurt, but had she
faced the right way she would have
spared herself some embarrassment.
This peculiar feminine practise is as
old as the street cars, and n wonders
If a continual reference to the subject
in the papers would not at least lessen
the number of falls that sometimes re-
suit more seriously. w. H. B.

suggest. Compromise In Maine.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Maine might compromise the pro-
hibition question by allowing the sale
of malt liquors and others having less
than 10 per cent. alcohol. 1t is adj
mitted by everyone. from eminent
physicians down to saloon-keepers,
that it isn't beer that does the most
harm. but whiskey, brandy, etc, with
a high percentage of alcohol,
Under this compromise it would be
easier for the confirmed liquor users
of Maine to get along without the
more injurious drinks and there would
be less profit In "blind tigers"

population, but to guard against the resort to such weapons in
