THE COMMONS TO RULE ENGLAND.

sNr NEW epoch in constitutional history in England began last
IA night when the Lords surrendered to the Commons and
abdicated the power in legislation that they had exercised
ever since constitutional history in England began. The character
of the House of Lords was entirely changed by the vote in the
division on the veto bill. Without compulsion the bill would have
been overwhelmingly defeated. The fear of an even greater blow
to the prestige of the Lords, which the government held in reserve
ready to be delivered, overcame the scruples of the less obstinate
and while many lords refrained from voting about twoscore, in
GLIDING more than a dozen bishops, supported the government. In
effect, a revolution was accomplished last night of more Importance
to the Commons of England than the concessions wrung by the
barons from King John. Republican government has now been
begun in England, for the elected representatives of the people
will rule without any veto by a small privileged class sitting as
hereditary legislators and neither responsible nor responsive to the
people. The Lords veto is no more. But how long will England
consent to a fgurehead upper chamber, and what interest will it's
members take in proceedings stripped of all Importance? 1t will
now be much easier to abolish the House of Lords, and as legislative
government in the British Isles demands two chambers an elective
upper house representative of real constituencies will take its
place.

LIBRARY ASSISTS
IN CITY PLANNING
Sends to Other places for Charts
to Give Newark
Ideas.

Some days when you have time
hanging on your hands and wander
along in search of something to do you
happen on a thing that you would have
made a special effort to see had you
known 1t existed.
One day last week the writer, an
Evening STAR staff man, was walking
through the corridors of the Public
Library, and as / passed one of the
rooms I noticed a lot of maps and
charts hanging on the wall and l went
in and looked around.
l suppose there are thousands Of per-
IONS in the city that have never been
in any part of the library except the
central lending room. Did you ever
get as far as the third floor? No?
Well, 1 was on a tour OF discovery that
day and had gotten up to the fourth
floor, You didn't know there was one?
I'm not surprised.
AS l walked around this room l saw
all kinds of maps of Newark, N. j., a
good many of them marked in special
ways. The first one 1 walked to had
all the factories in the city marked
with black dots. You'd be willing to
put up ten to five that more than half
the factories were Down Neck.
wouldn't you? Better go up and take a
look at that map first.
Have you heard about the ship canal
that some of the men who are inter-
ested in the city's future want to see
built across the meadows connecting
Newark Bay with the North River, so
that bigger shipping can come to New
ark? There was a good map of that
and it looks like a good thing to me.
Then there were a couple of BIRDS
eye views of the Pennsylvania terminal
and the proposed N. Y. and N. ].
bridge. They make you see what is
meant by the metropolitan District
and Greater Newark" that people are
talking about lately.
There was one map that drew my
attention. 1t showed the kind of pave
ment on every street in the city. Their
there were a lot of maps of parks and
Fairgrounds in other cities, plans of
cities as they are and as they will be
when the proposed work is done.
l was amazed when an attendant
there explained that all the material
in the room had been brought together
for a meeting of the City Planning
Commission that was to be held the
next day. Not only were there the
maps, but the library has sent for the
reports of city planning commissions,
etc, of all the larger cities, and they
had any number of pamphletN about
public baths, parks, Fairgrounds, street
signs, anything in fact that makes for
a more healthful and beautiful city.
l expect 1t would surprise most pep
pie as much as it did me to know how
much the Public Library. does for
movements of this sort and how much
material can be gathered together on
such a subject.

AN AN7Y-REpUBLIcAN SENATE.

IT N the Senate at Washington there was a Republican majority
III of ten when the special session began. The majority was cut
down to eight by the demise of Senator Elkins, of West Vir-
GINA, and will go to six when a Democratic successor to Senator
FRYE of Maine, is appointed. But Senator HOke Smith, of Georgia,
a Democrat, has not vet qualified, and the death of Senator Hughes,
of Colorado, a Democrat, keeps the Republican majority at eight.
This majority is, however, more apparent than real In point of
fact, the Republicans have no control of the Senate. The Progress
sve Republicans are as distinct from the Regulars as the latter
are from the Democrats, and Progressives and Democrats steadily
vote together on questions that are essentially party ones. The
administration has no majority support in either house of Con
gress and it's most determined opponents are the Progressives
whom Mr.. Taft would have read out of the party during the first
session of the last Congress. To Mr.. Taft may be given the credit
for this extraordinary change in Congress. His administration
of affairs worked the miracle of the last election and split the
Republican party into two irreconcilable parts. And his admins
tration continues to furnish scandals aplenty to swamp the party
in the next election and make the Senate Democratic for the first
time in many years.

JUST AS EASY FOR ALL
TO KEEP COOL AS WARM.
Heating Apparatus Could Be
Used for Other Purpose.

The following editorial appeared this
morning in the New York Times:
In almost every one of. the recent
dispatches concerning the state of the
pope's health, reference has been made
to his sufferings from the heat, and to
the graver approximations as to the OUT
come Of his illness which these suffer-
ings caused his doctors and attendants
to feel. Invariably the implication was
that, even by a patient as eminent as
this one, hot weather had to be en-
dured with patience and resignation as
something from which no escape was
possible-that there was nothing to DO
for his relief except move him from one
room to another a little larger and with
a little higher ceiling.
That this should have been the men
tai attitude of those entrusted with the
care of the pope Is not, In one way,
surprising, since 1t is duplicated a
thousand and a thousand times every
summer all over the world. The strange
thing is that there should be no sign OF
it anywhere in winter-that nowhere
do men assume, as a matter or course
or otherwise, that cold must be en-
dured with patience and resignation,
and such mitigations as change 81

dangerously low temperature to one as
comfortable and safe as circumstance
will permit.
Now 1t is not in the slightest degree
harder or even more expensive to COO
a hot room or house than 1t is to heai
a cold one, and much of modern ap'
paratus used for the latter purpost
could be made by comparatively trivia
additions and adjustments to serve thu
other purpose just as well. With 9

Especial to the Newark star.l
WASHINGTON, Aug. ia new
trust buster is on the trail of the sugar
trust. He is Stanton warburton, rep
resentative from Tacoma.
He has introduced a bill to put sugar
on the free list and has his coat off
and his sleeves rolled up fighting for
1t day and night.
The tariff is s1.e5 cents per 100
pounds. The government got $4,000
900 u of 1t last year.
But the consumers of sugar-which
is everybody-had to put up s13, 900, 900
in order to let Uncle Sam get his
$50. O0O. 900.
The reason it works that way is
that the trust controls the OF
Cuba, the Philippines and Hawaii. Su-
gar from the Philippines and from Ha-
waii comes in duty free. From Cuba
1t pays twenty per cent, less than
from other foreign countries.
"The consumer doesn't get the benefit
of this cheaper sugar" explains War
burton. THE trust gets 1T. Sugar from
the Philippines, from Hawaii and from,
Cuba is sold to the wholesalers by the
trust at the same price as sugar that
pays the full duty. The trust pockets

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
In your issues Of August l and Q you
published articles relative to the New
Jersey plumage law which went into
effect the first of the month From
whatever source these articles may
have come they are of such an absurd
character that they must have been
written by some of our millinery
friends.
No one is liable to arrest for wearing
plumage of any description. No law
has been passed making 1t a crime for
women to wear the plumage of certain
birds upon their hats. Reference to the
law in question will show the following
clause: mo part of plumage, skin or
body of any bird protected by this Sec
ton shall be sold or held in possession
for sale"
Neither in New Jersey or in any
other State is there any law which. d.
rectly affects the wearer of pfumage.
OF course, If plumage n be sold 1t
cannot be bought and worn. Many
other States have taken up similar
laws to those in New Jersey.

STAR E.cur.ion. . God-send.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star.
At this time of the year when nearly
everybody is going to the seashore or
country to recuperate mothers excur-
sions conducted by the STAR are a
godsend to the poor Of Newark. There
Is no class OF people who need a
change and rest more than the thou
sands of poor mothers who struggle
from fifteen to twenty hours a day the
year round.
These women are surrounded with
work and trouble in all seasons. but
IN the summer their lot Is particularly
hard. Their homes do not have half
of the necessities of life and during
the hot spells the poorly ventilated
rooms are veritable sweat-boxes. This
is no new tale or revelation by ny
means. The public In general lave
been aware of these conditions, but
no concerted action to relieve the stu
alton had been taken before your ex-
cursions were started.
You are doing a noble work, which
should have the COMMUNICATION of resi-
dents of Newark. It is the duty OF
every person who can help your enter
prise in any way to do so. Trusting
you will have all the success you merit.

BLUNDER IN WILL MAY
COST INSTITUTIONS DEAR.

JERSEY CITY, Aug. 1.-Errors in
location of five institutions intended to
be benefited in a will may deprive
them of nearly $4,000 0 each. The late
Mrs. Ann Furey, of West Hoboken,
left to them the bulk Of an estate
valued at $780, 900.
The will names st. Michael's Mona&e
terry, st. Michael's Church. St. Mary's
orphan Asylum, st. Joseph's Blind
Asylum and st. Joseph's Orphan Asy-
lum, but locates all in Hoboken. She
probably intended the monastery and
church in West Hoboken and the blind
asylum and@he two orphan asylums in
Jersey City. for none Of them is in
Hoboken. Relatives are also contest
ing the will o n h ground OF undue
influence. A hearing will be held in

THEATRES WOULD LOSE BY

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Gus Hill, one
of the directors of the Theatrical Man
ayers Producing Association, sent this
by wire to President Taft yesterday
Mr.. President-It is being widely cir
culated in New York among thertrical
managers that on request of the Bank
ers' Association you will issue a procla-
nation making Thursday, November %.
Thanksgiving Day. Heretofore II has
always been the last Thursday of No

with that understanding have been
made months in advance. This year a
change from the. goth to the 23d would
mean a loss of from s to 10 per cent.
of the gross receipts of that day and
night to all travelling managers. Again
should the Thanksgiving be changed
from the last Thursday to the fourth

3. Q. P. COUNTY COMMITTEE NOMINATIONS.

eTH HE Republican County Committee took the logical action last
night in the Endorsement of a number of party candidates.
There are two factions in the Republican party in this county,
the Regulars and the Progressives. The county committee represents
the Regulars, by whom it's majority was elected. The Progressive
organization that recently put up an independent set of candidates
are in the minority in the committee. That organization makes no
homes of saving that it's ticket is an antiReguar ticket and of
declaring it's purpose to GUST the Regulars from control OF the
county committee if possible. The nomination of a Progressive
ticket hostile to the Regulars, therefore, made imperative the action
of the committee last night. If one faction of a party formally puts
a set of candidates in the field why should the other faction be
inhibited from doing so? And with what consistency can the
former faction object? The two sets of candidates make the issue
plain for the voter. If he wants to GUST the Regulars he will vote
for the Progressive candidates in the primary. If he believes in
Regular organization he will vote for the Regular candidates.

Appreciate Public Parks.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
A recent editorial In the Evening
STAR brings to mind a matter which
ought to concern us deeply, namely,
our appreciation or lack of apprecia-
ton of our beautiful public parks and
reservations. OF course. the parks in
and around the city seem to be the
refuge of many of the people. That is
because they are easily reached. How
many of our citizens. IN the other
hand, have ever visited u own Essex

never heard of this stretch OF health
giving woodland and meadow. where
we can breathe the pure. -wood-scented

enough of us so there; we think an

What N.xts

10 the Editor Of the Evening Star:
1 see that the same old story has
been repeated. An Elizabeth al hit
a wagon on Frennghuysen avenue last
night and threw the driver into the
street, knocking him unconscious. This
was bad enough, but the crew Of the
car made 1t much worse by going off
and leaving the man in the street In
stead Of picking him up and bringing
him into the city.
The police found that the wagon had
a light on 1t and are at a loss to know
how the accident happened. A wagon
full of excursionists was struck near
the same spot less than two weeks ago
and several men hurt. DRIVER.

.1DAY EVENING, AUGUST II, 1911.
A DIVIDED STATE COMMITTEE.

IN T an hour when the Democrats in New Jersey should be flock
ing together and working in harmony for party success In
the fall the State committee suddenly falls apart and sets
the example of Reorganization and Generalization. The spectacle
ID witnessed with the keenest satisfaction by the Republican
leaders in the State, and if they did not egg on the quarrel in the
State committee and syly help to create the crisis at Asbury PARK
yesterday, they lacked their usual mastery of partisan tactics. A
divided State committee on the eve of an important political cam
paign is an anomaly never before presented in New Jersey. Nor
Is there any precedent in New Jersey politics for the action taken
by a majority of one of the committee in deposing the State chair
man for an act having no relevancy to his official duties what
ever may be the issue of this action, committee harmony cannot be
restored, and the welfare of the party must inevitably be affected.
The larger question of party welfare was completely overlooked
in the proceedings at Asbury Park yesterday, and party welfare
should be the main consideration with men intrusted with the
affairs of party management.

Commend. STAR Editorial.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
In a recent issue of the STAR you
had an editorial headed People Kept
in Ignorance of New Laws" This
editorial, l think, is of vital importance
to the people, and I thank the STAR
for calling attention to 1t. 1t is well
known that many laws are passed at
Trenton that we never know anything
about until some unfortunate is brought
into court under the new laws. of which
he or h is in total ignorance.
1t seems to me that there should be
an editor appointed on new laws and a
transcript of same published in the
Jersey press in all languages.
In this way we could all read the new
and be governed accordingly.
