Cold storage Publicity.

To the Editor OF tho Evening Star:
The recommendation CT Secretary of
Agriculture JAmes Wilson that wide
publicity be given to the amount o.
food in cold storage is II that should
be acted upor.. It would probably re-
suit in the cold storage men doing less
specializing with their wares.
The department of agriculture fur
nishes the public with a full account
of all the growing crops throughout
the country, but the public is entirely
in the dark as to the amount of stuff
put in storage. Judging from the man
rier in which the pure food experts
have been watching the cold storage
men, and the suits which have re-
suited from some Of the seizures, it
would be q great public benefit if the
warehouse-keepers we're obliged to
make reports as to the amount of food
in their buildings. AS the food stored
in these refrigerators is meant for
human consumption the public is enti-
tied to see the records which give full
particulars concerning these goods.

NO AMERICAN FRIENDSHIP FOR RUSSIA.

NAY HILE the official relations of the United States and Russia
WV have always been friendly in a diplomatic sense the sentr
ment of the people of the United States has not been
friendly to Russia for many years. In every war in which Russia
has engaged American sympathies were with Russias opponents.
In the Russo-Turkish wars America was on the side of the Turk,
In the RussoJapanese war American sentiment was almost wholly
with the japanese. When the attempt was made in Russia to set
up a real constitutional government the American people ardentfy
espoused the cause of the Russian masses and beheld with horror
the bloody repression of Russian liberties by the agents of the Gar,
showing that American sentiment was unfrendly only to the Rus
sian government and not to the Russian people. The massacres of
Jews and the wholesale deportation of them from their homes have
made chapters of Russian history only matched by the horrors of
Siberian exile, with which the civilized world is familiar. When
anybody officially PIRATES at Washington about eternal friendship
between Russia and the United States, between a cruel and semi
barbaric absolutism and a free republic, he does not speak for the
American people, but only the American government.

2 sHANLEYS IN NEWARK DEVELOPMENT.

1T He name of Stanley is closely identified with the develop
ment of Newark from an inconsiderabe factory town to q
city now approaching the first rank, for a vast amount Of the
public improvements we witness today were made by the Shanleys,
and doubtless the Stanley name will fgure.for many years more in
important public work. Bernard NJ. Shanley, who died q few wears
ago, also helped to develop the traction system in Essex and Hud-
son counties, and the most Of the large construction work of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad in this State was performed by the Shanleys.
John Il. STANLEY had retired from the business activities of his
busy life only to bear other cares and large responsibilities when
the death summons came. Men of large affairs like him do
not cease work until they die, and they know little of leisure in
their daily lives and take their best pleasure in the work of hand
and brain, as Mr.. Stanley did. 1t may well be said of the Shanleys
that they helped to write some of the most important chapters of
Newark history.

Sales for Taxes.

Sales for Taxes.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
An article appeared in last Sunday S
Call criticising the action of the COMP
troller for advertising properties for
sale for taxes under the act of 1903.
When a public official enters a new
office he subscribes to an oath to obey
the law regardless of what his indi-
vidual opinion may be. The present
comptroller has expressed his views
many times regarding this law, claim
ing il to be absolutely unnecessary SO
far as relates to the city of Newark,
for the reason that it works q great
hardship on many of u taxpayers,
while the city's interest can be fully
protected under the Martin act. The
comptroller has gone further by
stating that it is his intention to ask
the incoming Legislature to amend this
act so far as relates to cities Of the
irst-class. The statement that the
former comptroller did not advertise
OnueT THIS act eAC6pt OH oue oSSeSA0h
is false.
The facts are that four sales were
held prior to 1911. The failure Of my
predecessor to advertise and sell in
1910 in compliance with the law threw
upon the present comptroller the
burden of holding three sales in one
year in order to place the department
a proper basis and relieve the city
from legal complications. 1t may be
well TO state, however. that the act of
1903 was passed by a Republican Legis-
lature, of which Mr.. Bachelor was a
member. and signed by a Republican
governor; therefore the onus of the
question must rest Ipon those
who enacted the law. and not upon
those who are in edty bound TO enforce
1t. The opinion generally prevails that
the quickest way to obtain the repeal
of an improper law is to rigidly en-
the same.
The statement that these sales are
held in the interest of any particular
class of people is so un~warranted in
fact and vicious in its character that
It requires no reply.

Comptroller.

Board of Works Commissioner Harry
O'Connell was on the job all right Sat-
urday. At the southeast corner Of
Broad and Market streets a new side
walk had been laid n a covering Of
straw and mud put over it to keep out
frost. This made the place just about
as filthy as could be. Commissioner
o'Connell happened along, and in five
minutes had the phone wires hot with
orders. Result: A canvas covering
was placed over the spot, much to the
relief of pedestrians.
Charles A. Steadman, warden of the
Overlook Asylum. recently overheard
two patients talking as to why they
we're confined in the asylum. One of
them said he did not know why he was
there.
We'll. 1 know why 1 am here said
the other one. II used to go around
telling all my friends they were mad
while they all said I was. The major
ity won, and here 1 am. That's all there

FOR TWo-sTATE HARBoR DEVELOPMENT.

H1 ITIZENS who take an intelligent interest in the establishment
" of harbor facilities for Newark and the development of the
great natural advantages of our State in and around New
York bay should attend the meeting at the Board of Trade on
Thursday night, when Dock Commissioner Calvin Torakins will
present a report on a method to coordinate the railroad and steam
ship terminals of New jersey and New York. We are on the eve
of great changes in respect to waterways and terminals that will
have a tremendous effect upon NewaPks material interests. New
ark bay, a great arm of New York bay, is practically a waste for
commerce. because of its shadows and the lack of docks and ap.
proaches thereto. And yet New York bay, of which it is a part, is
so congested for commerce that there is a cry for relief. Nj.
Tonlkins believes that harbor development for New Jersey aud
New York should go hand in hand, and without regard to State
lines, as commerce is interstate and New York bay needs accom-
modations on all sides. We have coordinated in the Palisades Park.
Is it not more essential to cooperate for mutual commercial adj
vantages in an interstate bay?

LIGHT NEEDED ON NEW LAWS.

IT OW much does the average Jerseyman know about the laws
Ii Ii under which he lives and which he is supposed to obey?
Every year several hundred new ones are dumped into the
statute book. Even if he follows the legislative reports it does
not help him much. The titles, as a rule, mean nothing. If he gets
d copy of the bill as enacted, which may be some months after it
has become a law, he finds it a Chinese puzzle to extract sense from
the mass of yerbiage. And many of the legislators have no better
understanding of the measures while they are passing them. What
is wanted is a law such as the incoming Democratic senators pro
pose in conference, requiring the attorney generals office to furnish
to each member of the Legislature an abstract of each bill intro
duced, showing its purpose and any change it makes in existing
laws. The proposition ought to go further and provide for a similar
abstract of each law as soon as approved, to be given to the news
papers. If the encouragement needs extra help for this task let
him have it. The money will be well spent.

RIGHT KIND OF A LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

NAN HETHER political Partisanship inspires a commendable
WV course of action by q legislative majority or not is of no
Importance if the program decided upon is faithfully car
ried out. For many years every legislature in this State at the
beginning of its session has been importuned to get down to bust
ness without delay, make a business session, cut short unnecessary
discussion, clear the legislative calendars before adjournment and
leave nothing important undone. The program to be adopted by
the majority caucus at Trenton next month iss that program in
letter and spirit. Moreover, it is proposed to print and make public
the most important seasonal bills ten days before the Legislature
meets and, if necessary, take a recess before final adjournment to
give the Governor time to act upon the passed bills in his hands.
1t may not be possible for the Senate, with it's slim Republican
majority, to fully carry out this plan of a session, but we are i'm
PEELED to give the leaders credit for an innovation that should be
the established practise of future legislatures.

A RAILROAD ..FULL CREW" LAW VALID.

IT NDIANAS "full crew" law relating to railroad trains, which
was appealed to the United States Supreme Court, has now
been sustained and the decision settles the question for all the
States. The law compels the railroad to equip its trains with a full
complement of men adequate for all emergencies, as a means of
greater safety for the travelling public. The law and not the rail
road is to decide what number of men is requisite for a train. With
the question of the validity of such a law judicially decided we
may expect TO see fulLcrew bills pop up in other State legislatures.

DINNER STORIES.


A magazine editor was talking about
the late Charles Battell LOOMS.
His departure leaves the world less
gay" the editor said. "He was a
humorist. He looked It every subject
from the humorous point of view.
81 remember once, on the failure of
a inancier of somewhat doubtful re-
pute, l said to LOOMS:
"He was a bad egg, but nobody
seemed to think so as long as he had
the money
Naturally said Loomis; for like
most bad eggs, he was all right till he
was broke
Two hunters had beaten the trail
along the marshes of Long IslahG. for
three days with an unusually small
bag resulting. The food supply had
run out much ahead of scheduled time;
far worse, the Liquid ammunition
had been exhausted in the early stages
of the hunt.
After following the coast vainly for
three hours looking for some sign of
habitation they spied an empty house
on the beach.
Go in and look over it, Bill said
one.
He did so, returning in a moment
empty-handed.
Anything in there?' asked his COM
panion expectantly.
Nope" replied his running mate,
with a profound sigh; nothing but
two empty bottles full of water"
