welcomes East Orange Theatre.
ITO the Editor Of the Evening Star:
If your report in last nights paper
is true, that East Orange Is to have a
frst-class, clean, up-to-date theatre, as
a citizen desire to express through
your columns my heartiest sanction of
such a place of amusement, for many
reasons.
First, it's management, under the
censorship stated in your account of it,,
is necessary for our city. This will
eliminate the necessity of our children
travelling to Newark and elsewhere to
see the productions that in many cases
are not just what children should see.
Our older children, the ones approach
ing maturity, will nave no excuse for
going to Newark OF New York to see
shows, which means that after the
show they also will take in other
sights. The voluntary censorship. OF
the management Of the proposed
theatre In issuing complimentary passes
to clerymen. city officials and school
heads insures fathers and mothers that
the playhouse will at all times be q
thoroughly moral one.
Secondly. it will mean a whole lot
to our city. 1t will mean the beginning
of the building up Of Main street: 1t
will mean that more money will be
spent in East Orange that now goes
outside of the city: 1t will mean a great
deal in having a playhouse where we
can spend at least an evening a week
and break the monotony of hanging
around u homes or walking he
streets, and l believe it actually
the beginning of East Orange on pro-
gressive lines.
As a New York business man, II will
mean for me that l can take in a show
in my own city and do it with con-
siderabl more enjoyment. because l
will avoid the trip to Newark or New
York and back, avoid the crime or
after-theatre lunches, and will be in
my bed when otherwise I would be in
either of the other towns putting food
In my stomach at an ungodly hour.
By all means let this theatre GOMEZ
but before the mayor or city council
grants the license 1 would max the
management of the theatre agree In
writing on the most stringent censor
ship they can impose. If the manage
ment will agree to this censorship,
under penalty of Immediate revocation
of their license. we will then have no
fear, but will heartily indorse the
granting Of such a permit. l do not
think 1 am severe in my idea. as ! am
the father of five children. If the
mayor grants the license on that con-
ditdon / will allow my children to
patronize the place, because l know
the moral atmosphere will be unques-
tlonable. RESIDENT IL YEARS.

CANCER NOT CATCHING, IS
LATEST ANNOUNCEMENT.
Imperial Cancer Research Fund
Makes Discovery.

LONDON, July 21.-New light of the
most valuable kind has been thrown
on cancer by the work of the imperial
cancer research fund during the year.
At the annual meeting of the fund yes
terday Sir William Church announced
that cancer is not catching.
In general, cancer is caused by the
chronic irritation of any particular
part of the body. Thus. in China men
are exceedingly liable to cancer of the
outlet, but in women the disease is
unknown, the reason being that the
men bolt rice when it is hot. being
served first, while the women have to
wait and then the rice is cooling and
non-irritating.

SUBMARINES "AMAzLNdLY SUCCESSFUL"

eT HE work of the submarines in the naval maneuvers off the
II coast is exceedingly gratifying. Acting in defense of The
coast against an attack by a powerful battleship fleet they
theoretically sunk three battleships. The work was amazingly
successful" says the rear-admiral in command of the fleet. The
maneuvers were arranged to test the efficiency of our naval defenses
on the coast as well as to afford opportunity for the training of
navy men and reserves, and the qualification is that the little yes
sells upon which we will have to depend so much for coast defense
in case of a war have proven their worth so signally. But their
efficiency is due largely to the men who man them. The naval
type is there and it would be of little real service but for the stout
hearts and steel nerves of their sturdy crews.

H TPUNK SAWYER LAMP HOLDS OUT TO Burn

fTM LOOMFIELD and Glen Ridge should now see the unreason-
I'D ableness of their stipuations in approving the trunk sewer
contract that the sewerage commission should assume a
function and expense that it cannot lawfully do, and should decide
at once to sign the contract without any conditions. bloomfield
especially is in no position TO be foohshly obstinate. IT she renains
out she will probably have to play the role of Cinderella for her
more opulent partners in the local disposal scheme, if that can be
carried out. They will dump their sewage upon Bloomfield. But
all the municipalities that fail to come forward now to cooperate
with the fifteen contracting municipalities will invite serious fut re
consequences. And they have had ample warning and every oppor-
tnnitv to escape them. The lamp holds out to burn for them all.
1t will be extinguished when the contracts are given out for a
sewer OF a size adapted only for the municipalities that are incnded
in the contract. They can't come in thea.

A NEW CHARTER FOR JERSEY CITY.

NM AYOR WITTPENN, of Jersey City, said yesterday: 81 am
AVN not prepared to make a definite statement, but in a day or
two shall make a statement regarding a proposed new
charter for Jersey City that will satisfy the friends of real reform
Jersey Citys mayor will find that seveneighths of the citizens are
with him on the city charter proposition. Probably onehalf the
men who voted for commission government in the special election
would not have so voted if the draft of a good charter had been
ready for the Legislature to pass. New Jersey municipalities have
never liked to accept from the Legislature any general plan of
local government gotten up for all cities and towns, even with a
referendum attachment. They want to discuss and adopt their own
charters to be in harmony with local ideas and conditions. Newark
is prominently of that mind. This city anticipated the commits
sion act by about two years by organizing a local commission to
draw up a new charter, which it will finally adopt with the deiber
alton characteristic of the Newark community. Jersey City, having
rejected the uniform plan of municipal government, can now wisely
turn to chartermaking, and the city will have the great advantage
of studying the draft of the new city charter for Newark for points.

When we say that the Passaic must
be rid of all sewage, won't Orange
be able to go to the courts and force
us to let her into the trunk sewer

least until she car build her own
plant?'
'Tf a man burns down his house to

L~ebkuecher, do you think the courts
can force you to take him into your

THE PLEA OF A TARIFF COMMISSION.

tn RESIDENT TAFT did not ask Congress in 1908 to wait for a
liz tariff commission to report. He convened the special ss-
sion to pass a tariff bill without a word about a commission
report. Expert advice wasn't deemed to be necessary then. Mr..
Taft knew that Senator Aldrch was getting all his advice from the
Hobbies of the trust manufacturers, and he had no objections TO that
kind of interested expert advice. When the Payne Aldrich bill
was passed he promptly signed it and afterward blessed 1t publicly
as the greatest piece of tariff legislation ever enacted by Congress.
Now that the House of Representatives has passed two genuine
tariff reform bills Mr.. Taft falls back upon the tarif commission
created by the Congress that passed the Payne Aldrch bill. Until
that commission reports, he says, the tariff cannot properly be
reformed. The people who were so grossly deceived and swindled i'll
the Payne. Aldrich tariff cannot be misled now by any such an in
consistent plea. And if the wool bill shall be sent to the President
and vetoed the discredit of the Taft administration will be complete.

THE FLY A MENACE
TO PUBLIC HEALTH
Some Astounding Facts Regard
ing Multiplying Capabilities
of the Pest.
TX.

AS the Evening STAR explained in
the sixth article of this series, 1t takes,
with average conditions, ten days from
The laying of a fly's egg to the emer-
gence OF the adult fly. It takes about
ten days more before the fly begins to
lay its eggs.
Though flies continue to issue from
rubbish piles after early September,
sometimes even into November, the
chance for breeding etwee April 10
and September 10 is bad enough. and
gives us ten fly generations.
DIR. Leland o. Howard, the chief Of
the governments experts on flies, has
carefully estimated the number of files
which would be born were none de-
stroyed before egg laying. He says:
This number of generations has a
direct bearing upon the number OF
flies, not only at different periods dur
ing the summer. but also in the early
autumn, since there is, barring acct
dents, a constant and definite and
enormous increase. OF course. some
suiiiiieis arc "arihet thah oeiiSiS a"u
some are moister than others, and upon
these two factors, taken in connection
with that of available places for breed
ing. the number of flies must depend.

SUR BATHLNd Q TIE CoLoRED FOLKS.

1Ta HE colored population of Asbury Park and the colored 7isitors
at the Park are not to be denied decent bathing privileges,
and it would be a great reproach to the Park if the denial
was made. Thirtytwo bathing houses are being erected for the
exclusive use of the colored folk, and at a convenient location, TO
be replaced next season by permanent structures. This is not a
privilege, but a right. The Godgiven benefits of sea bathing are
not for any class or race or creed exclusively, and in a place like
Asbury Park, which is always held up for its. morality, the com.
nlde exclusion of any class from the surf is unthinkable.
