WEDNESDAY l, LII.


hTTo BE applause that was given by the one thousand Republ'
can followers of George L. Record to Governor Wilson az
the dollar dinner of the Central Republican Committee In
Jersey City on Monday night was a kind of incense that we be-
neve never arose before from a Republican gathering to a Demo
cratic governor, or from a Democratic gathering to a Republican
governor In this State. The cheers, led by George L. Record, the
manager and POSTMASTER of the dollar dinner, were elected by
tbe fact that the Record idea and purpose had been carried out
and that, as Mr.. Record said in his Introductory speech, I'VE see
. governor elected in the State on our platform and pledged to
carry out the ideas for which we have fought" Next fall the one
thousand men who thus applauded the Democratic governor will
go to. the polls and vote against Democratic candidates. They
are opposed to the Democratic party, but not opposed 10 the gov
ernor elected by that party. There IRE tactical as well as senti-
mental reasons. In all kinds Of warfare the motto, divide and
conquer" holds good. The Republican party was divided last
year and it was easily conquered. Democratic tactics helped to
create that division. This year the Republican party in New Jr-
sey will be more of a unit than it was when Governor Stokes

The Danger of Swinging signs.

TO tho Editor OF the Evening Star;
For some time 1 have been trying to
find out IL there was n department
in our municipal government from
which permits for show-signs, store
signs, etc, are issued. There should
be inspectors In the employ of the
city to look after this branch of ad-
vertising. as the gales of wind we
have been having recently has DEM
onstrated clearly.
A large, heavy sign made of WOOD
and tin was blown from a building
In Broad street the other day and al
most struck a woman who was pass
ing. When the sign was picked up the
owner himself admitted the accident
was due to the rusty wires which had
held the sign. He also added that he
would have fixed it long had he
realized the danger to which pedes-
trians were exposed.
II the merchants are too busy to
think of the number OF people who
pass their stores every day they ought
to be satisfied to pay a little more on
their tax bills and have the respon-
sibility taken from their shoulders.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Some months ago there was q most
striking cartoon in your paper SHOW
ing up" reckless motor-car drivers
busy at what vas labeled dead mems
corner" The Gene was the corner of
Central avenue and Summit street, and
for a while the ''show-up'' did some
good, as it woke up the somnolent
''coppers'' on the curb. For a while
threats of arrest kept the speeders
within safe and sane limits.
II your ~cartoonist should go to that
corner today, however, he would find
that the conditions are exactly the
same as they were before the Show
up Men, ONE and children are
kept on the jump by reckless drivers

passing that corner. I witnessed two

agility OF the near-victim. Two cop

THE FUND o A WORKING GIRLS HOME

IT It should not be a monumental task in a city like Newark,
always generous in giving to worthy objects, to raise, or
rather to complete, an already partly accumulated fund for
such a cause a 3 the erection and equipment of a suitable building
10 be used for giving to homeless and friendless working girls
the accommodations, surroundings and social atmosphere of a
home. There are hundreds of girls working at small wages in our
gMy who have no home life and who find it hard, with their
meagre means, to procure the cheapest kind Of board or lodgings.
They are condemned to a life of sore deprivation and of actual
hardship amid the most uncongenial and often repulsive surround
inRs. Under such circumstances men can, at least, seek social
recreation in public places, but the privileges of the man are denied
the sefFespecing girl. For her there are dangers to be met.
Every human being Graves society and sympathy. Where shall
she And it? Where shall she find recreation in her leisure hours
from her daily toll. and how escape from the unpleasantness Of
her dreary home surroundings? The Young Womens Christian
Association has now proposed, with the aid of the public, to an
swer that question by the erection of a home where, for the amount
a girl now pays for a closet bedroom or for a share of a garnet,
she can have such accommodations as she needs, with every CON
yenience and with the social opportunities that she Graves.

THE COST OF EMPLOYERS LIABILITY.

TIA VENTUALLY the ultimate consumer will pay the insurance
IL on workmen's injuries to meet the cost of the employers
under an employers liability law, for a percentage of in
crease in the sale prices of manufactured goods will be adopted by
the manufacturer to cover the possible expense. But an immediate
effect of the law will be the improvement of conditions in factories
and the discarding of defective or obsolete machinery. A single
accident in a factory, not due to the wilful negligence of the work.
man, might cost the employer $4,000 or $4,000. For less than that
sum, perhaps, he could make the factory conditions safe for work
men and be free from chances Of large pecuniary damages. The
primary object of a liability law is to insure safety for workmen.
Under the existing law the employer does not feel impeIed, in his
own interest, to properly safeguard the labor he employs.

VOTING MACHINE REPEATER on ITS WAY

cTo HE repeater of the voting machine law, introduced in the
Assembly, has been promptly reported ont of committee
and Will probably be passed next week. But there was no
obstruction In the Assembly in the past to the repeal Of the law.
The Senate has stood in the way. BY overwhelming majornies the
voters In four+6fths of the election districts in which the voting
machine was in use have voted 1t out. Public sentiment in this
State never had a more decided expression. Committees of the
Senate have insulted that sentiment at several sessions by sup
pressing repealers. Is it possible that the majority members Of
that body are fatuous enough to repeat that performance at the
present session?

There are features of that midnight
tragedy that cost ten lives which take
a powerful hold upon the Imagination.
Men were working desperately below
the bed of the river In an artificial
chamber at an hour when the conven-
tional world was asleep. A chain
parted, and a ton Of mud in a great
iron bucket crashed through the frail
roof OF the chamber, making OF 1t a
trap h exit to which the greedy river
blocked.
It is a picture one would 1ika TO
erase from the mind, but cannot easily
that OF this underground struggle
against overwhelming odds, the speedy
realization OF the victims that their
case was hopeless n the prompt con-
summation of the tragedy.
Were IL not for such terrible acci-
dents 1t would be impossible to impress
upon a sheltered people" the serious
ness OF the personal risks many men
are forced TO u daily as a means
of livelihood. The average man would
congratulate himself upon surviving
terrible dangers II he were forced for
a brief time into some positions others
voluntarily assume nom day to day to
earn their living.
Il may be lightly said that men who
regularly assume such risks become
accustomed TO them and pay no atten-
tion to them, but the men who were
brought In contact with this tragedy
will never lose sight of the dangers
they face.

If a man and his money aren't safe

The sad case OF the man who was re-

be found, but It was the principle of
the thing or lack of It that hurt.

There Is a legitimate excuse for that
sensation caused by the discovery that
an unknown artist. whose first picture
hung in the Chicago Art Institute a
year ago, is one of the most successful
business men of the Illinois metropolis
"a prominent finanoier and phil
~anthropist.
This legitimate sensation Is enhanced
by the fact that the successful novice
did not take up" painting until he was
81 years old. The most daring of the
fotion-makers would hesitate a long
time before endeavortng to make such
an incident seem plausible. 1t 10 neces-

How much talent-this Chicagoan's

mant in business men who, while they
may have suspected its existence. have

This is a material age and material
interests predominant. The markings
of many a fine artist may have been
smothered by the stress of modern
business.

Give us some Kind of Pavement.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
The paving of Market street, which
has beer talked about for a year, is
still hanging fire. AS yet, no definite
steps have been taken to repave What
may be called Newark's principal street.
The business men want one thing and
the members of the Board of Works
are determined that they shall not get
what they want.
1t may be true that wood block would
be one of the worst things that can be
put down ON q busy street, and 1t may
be true that the members of the board
are justified In not sanctioning that
form of pavement. but why do they not
decide on something else? How long 10
the street to be in the condition II
now is?
One of the chief things attached to
all the undertakings of the ofty de-
partments is delay. We have the paw
ing delay, the Market street station de-
day, and we will also have the subway
delay. The officials Of the city may
mean we'll. but they are too slow In get
ting at things. Business men do not
hesitate so long about improvements.

aside, the bill viii never pass. Why?
Because it is a direct blow at personal
liberty. the right of every mar TO treat
his fellow man In a friendly, social
way. If he Is so inclined, and no law or
set of laws can say him nay.
At the same time the habit, while tt
de%plorable one from a certain point OF
view, as II is liable to lead to excess
In the use OF in~toxicants, is SO thor
oughly an ingrained American custom
that it will never be wiped out. It's
as thoroughly entrenched on this side
of the big pond as the equally per
nicious habit of tipping is On the other.
Hundreds of organizations have held
high the banner OF anti-treat, fiourished
for a while and then fallen victims
to King Treat. So 1t will be with the
