To the Editor of the Evening Star.
The fight between the State auto
mobile department and the dealers
seems to me to be either worthy of
very serious attention or else dropped
entirely from the newspapers. allow
ing the interested parties to fight 1t
out themselves.
For many months now the State de-
partment has been more or less under
fire, first from the members of the
associated auto clubs and now, ap-
parently, from the manufacturers and
dealers.
One side or the other must be right
in their contentious. The general pub
lie, 1 believe, desires to know which
side is in the right. For the constant
pickering 1 do not believe the public
cares in the least.

Heed the warming.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
A short time ago l read in your pa
per an item about a motorman of a
street car who was fined $40 In the
First Precinct Court for passing a
commuter on a corntr after he was
given the signal to stop.
This should be warning enough for
other motormen, but apparently they
are indifferent. for no less than five
ignored me yesterday.
Now 1 do not like to make a COM
plant against these men, but they will
do the same trick on some other per-
son some day and pay $40 for their
trouble.
l hope motormen will AXE warn
ing from this letter for their own sake
and for the sake of the commuters.

THE TOO MUCH PRAISED HEN.

q ECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE WILSON has sounded the
praises of the American hen for its industry in adding to the
national wealth. Now comes the American Poultry Asso-
citation with the statement that the hen, so far from being the
industrious worker that Secretary Wilson says she is, really loafs
three fourths of her time. 1t is shown by statistics that on an
average the hen lays only eighty eggs in a year of 35 days. In
stead of cracking up the lesurely hen Secretary Wilson would bet
ter try to do something to increase the output. Eggs are abnor-
maly high and the cause of high prices lies between the hen and
cold storage. If the hen could be made to work six days in the
week, taking Sunday off for a rest, the output would be trebled.
Cold storage could not then control the supply and the price of
eggs would come down to the figures that ruled in the days of our
grandmothers.

4 BIT OF INCONSISTENCY.

cnS HE Republican county campaign virtually opens tonight, when
the county committee meets to take the necessary action
in regard to the party primaries to be held next month. The
Republican organization leaders have done much preliminary work.
In fact, in no previous year were they so far advanced at this time
in preparations for the fall campaign. The progressive element
of the party has even forestalled the regulars and adopted a ticket
for the primaries that is distinctvely progressive and antlOrganiza-
ton. Having done this, and without any objection, it would seem
that the Progressive leaders would have no ground for criticism
of the organization if it should put up organization candidates.
But nevertheless the county committee is denounced in advance for
it's presumed intention to put up an organization ticket for the
primaries. At the committee meeting tonight those members who
are affiliated with the Progressive organization will doubtless be
present and will be enabled to protest against any move by the
committee to follow the example of their organization and indorse
candidates.

Defends DIR. Wrightson.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t seems too bad that the City Hos
pital does not get all the funds that 1t
needs and that ite good work is in
danger of being hampered because Of
the lack of funds.
When DR.. Wrightson, as chairman of
the hospital committee, assumed the
attitude that he would rather resign
than be crippled in his work he acted
the part of a good citizen and con-
scientious official. There should be no
"skimping'' in work of this kind. 1t is
entirely too serious to be handicapped.

EXTENSION OF THE INLAND WATERWAY.

IT N building an inland waterway from Cape May to Bay Head
the State has gone only half way. The northern terminus of
the waterway has no connections, and is simply a iumping-of
place. All the purpose the improvement can serve is to establish
waterway communication between places in South Jersey. The
logical and necessary thing to do is to extend the waterway so as
to make an outlet into New York bay. The southern terminus is
thenew harbor at Cape May, which some day will have commercial
Importance. The northern terminus should be the harbor of New
York. If the extension should be made, by far the greater part of
thestraffc would be tributary to New York waters, and it would
open for South Jersey marketmen and fishermen a large and valu-
able market reached direct by water navigation. The South Jersey
municipalities contributed nothing to the cost of building the Cape
May and Bay Head canal, and why should the North Jersey munich
palities be assessed?

A MONG the denizens of a very extensive forest was a magpe that had a
great deal of leisure. This magpie led a very active life however, and

the outer confines of the forest and back again. And each time it brought
back peceSor shred of dyed wool o a piece of cohored glass Or a bright
fragment of dnsel and slowed them away in its nest. All this created great
wonderment among the other birds, who, though they confessed IN we to the
beautiful did not CRAFTY it to the extent Of feathering their nests with every
gaudy piece of junk they could pick UP.
what is the use of all this ;" they asked the magpie. "They don't
leave it where you can find it, even if you admire it? You are never home
long enough to take a good look at it."
"WenI, Tn tell you, replied the magpie. "Next to the fun of getting il, it's

STa HE story that comes from Atlantic City to the effect that
on the last election three negresses dressed in male attire
voted seventeen times seems incredible, but there was testi
mony in the Assembly committee investigation that a negro did
vote twentysix times in that election. One performance would
about match the other. But who was responsible for these crimes
against the ballot? Not the ~besottedly ignorant creature who did
the repeating, but the white criminal who hired the creature and
the criminal who knowingly accepted his fraudulent ballot.

an Assured Success

Saturday evening, October Z,

sion we will have that eminent
lecturer and platform entertain
er, Lucian Edgar Follansbee,
with us. He has decided to give
his famous lecture "Genius and
Gumption," and no doubt it will
be a great treat.
OF this lecture, the Blair,
Neb., Courier says: Everyone
says Follansbee is all right and
wants to hear him again next
year. He has both force and
fire, and carried the audience
with him every minute, often
leading to the highest point of
enthusiasm. He is a big, broad
minded, clean n-souled man, that
will do any people good to have
him come among them, and our
only regret is that everyone in
Blair did not hear the gifted
speaker last evening"
The seats are selling fast and
those who have not already Sc
cured them should do so at once.
The success of the course from .
financial standpoint is already
assured, and this fact reflects
credit on the citizens of our city
and also Mr.. Simms, who has
worked 80 faithfully to secure
the course.
