Defends Moving pictures.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
l would like to say a word in de-
Tense of the moving-picture shows. OF
course, some of the films shown are
degrading. These should be weeded
out. On the other hand, many of the
pictures shown are enjoyable and in
.structive. The authorities of this State
have blamed the moving pictures for
the badness of many boys. l must take
exception to their finding. In my opin-
ion the cheap literature sold In many
of the small stores and the utter dis
regard for the law regarding the sale
of cigarettes to minors by some of the
store-keepers have more to dom making
criminals of boys than motion pic
lures. Why do not the State authori-
ties put a stop to the sale of both ?
The real objection to the moving pic
lures was not manifested until the dis
cussion of exhibiting the Johnson
Jeffries fight. These films, of course,
would have been degrading. Why not
get at the very roc OF the matter and
end the sale of cheap literature and
cigarettes to young boys.
FAIR PLAY.

They r legible for long distances
and are well mounted on neat-looking
metal poles. It is a good job so far as
it has gone. but only about 5 per cent.
of the streets have been so labeled.
The work has been suspended because
of lack of funds, but If the work is
carried to completion on the same
good standard with which it has been
begun no city in the United States
will be better equipped with street
signs than Newark. 1t will make
Newark much easier to move about in,
not only for strangers but for the old
residents as well. even these cannot
know all the streets accurately If they
are not properly labeled.

THE DEATH-DEALING BROKEN DAM.

cITa HE State of Pennsylvania bears the reproach of two heart
rending calamities, the Johnstown food with its horrors,
and the awful destruction of human life in the town of Aus
tin on Saturday by the breaking of an insecure dam. In construc-
ton work TO hold back vast volumes of water from their natural
flow through a valley the best engineering skill should be employed
by the State to see that the dam shall be equal to any possible
test and be absolutely secure. And the work should be done under
the supervision of expert State inspectors. The fact that, if the sup
porting wall of the dam should give way, towns and villages would
be swept away makes it a paramount duty for the State to strictly
oversee all work of this kind. The carelessness of State govern
ment in the United States in such matters is proverbial. Pennsyl,
vania had an awful lesson at Johnstown, but it was soon forgot
ten, as the broken dam and the dreadful scenes at Austin show.
And may there not be more valleys in Pennsylvania and other
States in which the populations are even now in hourly danger of
a catastrophe by food and fire?

OUR EFFICIENT NIGHT SCHOOL SYSTEM.

NV EWARK was the first city in New Jersey to open evening
ANU schools, as it was perhaps the first city in the country to
establish summer schools. Both ventures were opposed at
the time by that class of worthy but shortsighted people who are
everlastingl afraid of doing something new and progressive in
municipal work, and probably there re some who still see no
utility in night schools or in anything else out of the old routine
of school administration as it was known in our grandfathers' days.
But "the world do move" in spite of this crustacean sentiment and
the New Jersey public school system has moved upward and on
ward, while there is much room for betterments that are now well
under way. OF the night schools it may be said that they have
more than fulfilled expectations and they are now doing a work
that was not originally thought of. The night school system is
fairly as well organized and equipped as the day school system and
is doing an invaluable educational work for Newark.

ASPECTS OF THE WESTERN RAILROAD STRIKE

1H HE strike on the Hartman railroad system 3rhe West and
Il Middle West directly affects only the shopmen, of whom
there are about 10000. But there is no knowing when and
where a great strike is going to end. In England the general rail
road strike last summer had its origin in a strike by laborers and
sailors at the London and Liverpool docks and afterwards spread
to the railroads by sympathy. The trainmen, trackmen and switch
men of the Hartman system are organized in unions which are
federated with the shopmens organizations, and "A struggle between
the railroads and the shopmen, if prolonged, is not unlikely to
draw in all of the organized labor employed by the system. In
that case, the West will be involved in a situation similar to that
which recently existed in England. But why should such things be
and why should the business of a continent be deranged by a mere
question of recognition of a labor union?
