BUTTER, EGGS, LAMB AND
PORK PIROUETTE SKYWARD
Dealers Can't Explain Rise Ex-
Cept That It's There.

NEW YORK, Aug. liable neces-
saries are up again in price. Since
early in July eggs at retail have jumped
Is cents a dozen In the high-priced
stores and from 5 to 8 cents a dozen in
the cheaper stores. This is for fresh
eggs. All other grades have advanced
in proportion.
The delicatessen stores and small
grocers are charging 40 cents for So
called guaranteed" eggs. Some stores
are charging As cents. Butter is 8 cents
a pound higher all around than it was
three weeks ago.
There is a reason for the advance in
butter and eggs. It Is due to natural
conditions, but the retail butchers say
there is no reason whatever for the
rise in the wholesale price Of sheep
and pork, which has compelled them
to make corresponding advances in re-
tail prices.
One explanation of the high cost of
meat, which Is invariably overlooked by
dealers and market men, is given by a
hotel steward, who says 1t is due to the
high cost of eggs and butter.

NEWARK,s Nan FINANCIAL CREDIT. .

6TTa HE sale of the 81, 100000 temporary loan bonds by Comptroller
Parmly at a rate equivalent to less than 81 per cent. is
gratifying evidence of the soundness of Newarks financial
credit. The other day the city of Philadelphia tried to sell about
the same amount of 4 per cent. bonds and the responses were so
unsatisfactory that the sale was stopped and the bonds were after
ward sold over the counter in small lots to local purchasers. Phila-
delphia is a badly misgoverned city. Newark is a wellgoyerned
city. Philadelphia is backward, while Newark is progressive. Good
local government is the best security for the bondholder. In the
great money marts where bonds are bought and sold a record is
kept of the financial history, resources and government OF all mu-
inequalities that borrow money, and when a municipal loan is adj
vertsed the record is consulted to determine the municipal credit.
That the city of Newark has always stood high in the list of munich
paities in the character of its government has been shown by
the always favorable terms upon which it has sold its bonds.

should BE Proud of Parks.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t is a great comfort for the army of
stay-at-homes, and this army is much
greater than that of the getaways"
to know that Our public parks are in
such a lourishing condition just now.
They are a credit to the men in charge
of them. inc a credit to the county
that supports them. 1t is really worth
while to inspect and enjoy their full
some midsummer glory.
OF course, as these parks are 'close
to hum" they are not properly appre-
ciated by the average Essex county
citizen. But let the average county
citizen hear what people from other
cities have to say about our park sys-
tenn, and Their no doubt he will be
duly filled with pride.
There is just one thing that 1 would
like to say also in connection with this
subject, and that is that the gentle
beauties of the parks are not enjoyed
by as many people as should enjoy
them. So, in a sense, many of it's flow
ers are born to blush unseen. A. A.

Oo HE American public will confess to considerable lncreduhty
as to the sincerity of the Standard Oil Company in its
adopted plan of dissolution into thirtythree corporations,
which are to be free to compete with each other. The decision by
the United States Supreme Court was that the absorption of the
various oil companies by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
was Illegal and that the trust thus formed must be dissolved. The
stocks of these companies were ordered to be redistributed to them.
Each of the thirtythree corporations will now have a separate entity
and, according to the judgment of the eompanys lawyers, the new
plan of organization complies with the courts requirement of "rea-
condolences" however it may work for the public. 1t can be taken
for granted, however, that in the construction of the new plan the
able lawyers of the Standard Oil Company have gone no further in
the direction of competition than they were compelled to in order
to keep within the limit set by the courts decision. The plan will
be judged by it's results. If it simply means a trust with thirty
three heads instead of one the people will soon know it.

ISCONSIN is not alone and singular in the character of
WV the revenue out of which the State expenses are paid.
New Jersey can go one better. In a report by the com
missioner of corporations to the President yesterday the fact was
pointed out that Wisconsin derives enough tax income from cor
porations to pay II per cent. of her expenses. The last report by
the New Jersey State comptroller shows that for the fiscal year 1910
the States expenditures were $~7,670,66369, while the State col
lected from railroad and miscellaneous corporations a total of
$6,473, 540.32, or about "a per cent. of the expenditures, as against
II per cent. in Wisconsin. These expenditures also are both ordi
nary and extraordinary. For the ordinary State expenses the in
come from the corporations would alone be sufficient, granting
that government was economically administered. But New Jersey
issues no bonds and pays as it goes, making annual appropriations
for all special objects such as the erection of new institutions on
additions thereto, the building of a canal waterway and the pr
chase of land for park or forest preserve purposes.

AN END TO ARBITRARY RAILROAD TARIFFS.

TOR the first time in the history of railroad enterprise in New
Jersey an act by the railroads affecting fares for the travel,
ing public has been held up by governmental authority and
the rates fixed by the railroads reduced. That fact marks a new
era in the relations of the public and the railroad companies. From
the time that railroad enterprise secured a foothold in New Jersey
it has held the whip hand, and its power became dominant when
the New Jersey roads passed under the control of foreign corpora
tions. We owe the change to the interstate commerce act and to
the decision by the Interstate Commerce Commission, which yes
terday ordered material reductions in the increased Communication
rates of the railroads north of New Brunswick. The day for arbi-
trary railroad tariffs is past.

PENALIz1NG THE INNOCENT.

TN NDER our criminal laws a man is supposed to be innocent
II until he is proven guilty. Why, then, should a man he
photographed as a criminal before his guilt is proven, and
even Immediately after his arrest? The practise is a violation of
law and justice, for it inAicts a grievous penalty before the prisoner
has had a chance to be heard in court. The principle of personal
liberty is dear to everyone, but the instant a mans photograph is
taken for a police record that liberty is virtually taken away. The
man is placed under unjust suspicion and is exposed to future dis
grace, perhaps at some critical period in his career. Indeed, it is
a question if an innocent man treated to this police indignity could
not get substantial damages from the municipality, whose servants
have no right in law to do wanton injury to a citizen.

Keen Them FILLED.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
During the recent hot spell there
was considerable talk about keeping
the street troughs for horses filled with
water at all times. For a while they
were filled regularly. but for the past
few. days l have noticed that the
water troughs in the congested section
of the city are empty. Horses pull
up in front of the troughs, expecting
to get a cool, refreshing drink, and
instead their noses meet the hard, hot
iron bottom of the tank. Now, if there
is one essential requisite to good
health. it is plenty of good, cold water,
and the same rule applies to horses
as to men. With a little more exertion
on the part of the officials RESPONSE
BILE, the horses would be supplied with
water throughout the day, and the ben
efts would be of untold value.

A wise Course.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
The wisdom of the State of New Jer-
sey in purchasing, a permanent en-
campment grounds for the use of the
New Jersey National Guard has been
amply proved by the troubles of other
States in regard to camping grounds.
The ground at Sea Girt is properly
equipped with all that is needed for
sanitary conditions, while in other
States where the ground used for State
encampment is hired for a short period
each year, sanitation is usually such
that much sickness results.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The h.. cost of living is getting to
be a more serious problem every day,
especially to the laboring class. The
people who do not have to worry about
money matters are the ones who are
making it harder for them. When the
rich people say their money is of no
value to relieve poverty they believe
their w arguments for trying to cor
ner the money market. 1t is getting
so now that the working nan must
hold on to every cent of his earnings
in order to be able to give his family a
half-decent living. The only remedy
for this is to restrain inanciers from
cornering either the food or the money
market. NORWEGIAN.

were dirt, and many a horse l lost in
consequence. The mud, caused by the
heavy rains, would often be half way
up the axle of a wagon and horses
would become exhausted long before
they got through with their haul from
the canal, where the coal was received,

To Prevent Horse Beating.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
One thing which could be remedied
with very little trouble is the useless
beating of horses by their drivers.
The prope way to remedy this is to
form a horse drivers association and
compel all drivers to be members of
the association. Tam sure that all the
drivers who were, caught abusing their
horses could be fined or thrown out of
the association. 1 am sure that all the
firms who still use horses would agree
with this plan. Another "a would be
to have all drivers licensed, and If they
were then caught abusing a horse their
license could be taken away from them.

WHERE STATE PROPERTY VALUES MOSTLY LIE.

m SSESSED valuations in New Jersey were increased by $780,
IN 2~1Oy926.56 last year over the previous year, and nearly one
third of the increase was made in Essex county. More
than onefourth of the total assessed valuation of the State is in
this county, and onesixth of the State valuations is in the city of
Newark. 1t is not without reason that this county obtained the
title at Trenton of the Estate of Essex" and that Newark is
the recognized metropolis of New Jersey.

reason that was brought into play in the primary. Mississippi
may have to share the modification that at least two other States
have been compelled to bear in their senatorial representatives!
