should Have Fireboat.

To the Editor Of the Evening star:
Why is it that Newark does not pos
sess a tlreboat as part of the equip
ment of her splendid fire department.?
Surely there is enough valuable prop
erty on the banks of the Passaic river
to make such a boat a valuable asset
TO the city.
In many cases, especially at some of
the large plants. it would be almost
impossible to fight a large fire from
the river side of the plant.
Another good use that could be made
of a flreboat would be In the establish
ment of a high pressure system for the
business section. This plan was adopt
ed in Detroit a number of years ago
and has worked perfectly. Large pipe
lines were laid up the principal streets
running from the river, with ross
sections running to other streets.
On an alarm of fire in a dangerous
section the firetug steams to the foot
of the nearest street and puts all her
powerful pumps at work on the pipe
line, with the result that as far as "A
mile and a half away a stream far sur
passing that thrown by any fire engine
is obtained direct from the hydrant.

this burden s125,000 is to be borne, ac-

that the Geran law and all which it

OUR FRIENDLY SERVICES IN MEXICO.

TT T is not improbable that the troubles in Mexico will finally be
settled at Washington by representatives of the federal and
revolutionary factions. Our government could not now tender
its friendly services to bring about q peace, as in the contemplation
OF all established governments there is only one authority in Mexico
at the present time, and that is the Diaz government. There is
evidently an increasing desire for peace and to that end President
Daz may yield to the terms of Madero. If the war continues and
the reyolutionsts attain a position to justify partial recognition
by the United States there will then be opportunity for a friendly
offer by our government. During our great Civil War the sugges-
ton of intervention by Il European power was holly repealed. EN-
peror Napoleon III. proposed to other powers in Europe a joint
intervention and failed to secure their acquiescence. In default of
that he sent an army to Mexico to be ready to pounce on New
Orleans and secure possession of the mouth of the Mississippi. 1t
is an interesting question as TO what France or Germany would do
in the present conditions of Mexico if either had Mexico as a neigh
Dor and if the slightest provocation was given.

NEW JEPSEY'S RICHEST ASSET.

NV EW JERSEYS contribution of 100000 for the purchase of
I'M a shipcanal right of way for the federal government might
be increased tenfold with immense profit to the State.
New York is expanding 100000 900 for q barge canal from Buffalo
10 Albany, and that canal cannot be of much greater value than
the proposed canal between the Iartan and the Delaware, thirty
two miles long. That canal will create sixtyfour miles of new sites
for manufacturing, and will immensely develop present industries;
il will be the means of creating important waterway terminals in
the State; il Will bring new towns into existence, be a great de
Yeloper of New Jerseys natural resources and in other important
ways add enormously 10 the property wealth and the opportunities
for capital and labor. That stretch of thirtytwo miles across the
State is New Jerseys richest asset.

SELECTING THE ELECTION OFFICERS.

e1Ta HE time is approaching for a practical trial OF the deliberately
constructed new election law, when the people will have to

choosing more than seven thousand election officers frem 2000O or
more candidates, all of whom must be examined by the State Civil

the average voter will take no particular interest in the workings

A GREAT SALE OF BONDS.

eHHE forthcoming sale of %S50,000,000 of 3 per cent, Panama
bonds by the government will attract worldwide attention
as eydencing the financial credit of the United States gov
eminent. The success of the postal savings banks experiment, only
recently tried. shows the confidence of the most suspicious class
Of wage-earners in the stability of the guarantee of the govern
lnent. These bonds will be taken by financial institutions aud syndi
Gates and will be largely sought for permanent investments by
estates. The government is not by any means cramped for money.
The national treasury has been paying out cash for the purposes
Of canal construction instead of issuing bonds, as it was authorized
10 do by Congress, and the proceeds of the bonds are in large part
for reimbursement of the treasury for these expenditures. To the
Individual or government that is not hard up borrowing comes
comparatively easy and at reasonable rates. 1t is otherwise with
those that "need the money"

A recent illustrated lecture on '"How

the numerous kernels of information
given, Not only was the manner of
lighting the white plague best de-
scribed, but the listeners were told
how the most sanitary conditions In
the horne might be obtained and thus
fight off all diseases, Those who were
present and had heretofore not taken
the matter of germs seriously were
shown how these pests convey dis
case in a thousand different ways.
This interesting lecture work is be-
ing done by the members Of the New
ark Anti-Tuberculosis Association, the
same organization which has been
working for years in this city with
out the proper recognition and co.
operation of the public. There are
doubtless thousands of people in New

LARGE COUNTIES IN CONTROL.

1Ta He fact has just been discovered at Trenton that the State
party conventions to be held under the new law will be
largely composed of the representatives of the large counties.
The party conventions will consist of the candidates for Assembly,
the hold over senators and the governor or candidate for governor,
about seventy in all, of whom from twentynine to thirtytwo will
represent the three counties of Essex, Hudson and Passaic. Five
North Jersey counties might have forty representatives in the con.
yention, a clear majority to declare the party platform and policies.

Standard Oil must dissolve itself into its constituent clements, and

few words make the plans futile.

No one else got near home for either
side, and after drawing blanks for the
remaining seven innings the game end

good. while the Portuguese had scored
none at all.
The second game scoring was all
done in the first inning, when the two
