Honor where Honor 1. Due.

To the Editor Of the Evening star;
As the writer of the communication
where Was First Regiment" appear
ing in your issue of the 9Th ultimo,
wherein l criticised the action of their
present officers in the failure to re-
spond, by turning out the regiment as
an escort TO the veterans of the First
on the hftieth anniversary of their de-
parture from Newark to the seat of
war, likewise their lack of military
bearing on previous Memorial Day
celebrations, permit me, through the
columns of your paper, to commend
them publicly for retrieving them
selves so nobly. and in such fine mill
tary fashion on May so last.
To be sure. they cannot fully rectify
their oversight for that "non-turnout'
on the hftieth anniversary-but they
can and have awaited themselves of
fulfilling that remaining sacred privi-
lege and duty presented to them on
each Memorial Day.
Encomiums of praise can only be their
just due for the manly and soldierly
bearing with which they marched down
Broad street-"heads front'-with mar
tial steps, and lines not snake fences
during their most recent turnout.
Nothing could be further from my
thoughts than unjust criticlsm-and
when men respond. as a true soldier, to
the word "duty'-then, and then only,
can they, and do they, gain that re-
ward, Honor to whom honor is due.

To the Editor OF the Evening star
All is we'll that ends we'll In
other words, the end justifes the
means" The United states has de-
cided tina there is no need of having
the troops down on the Mexican oor-
der. The United States has discovered
that the Mexicans are tired of being
ruled by a despot and that they are
glad that Diaz has left them. 1t is a
well-known fact that the real Amerl-
cans. those that represent freedom ana
honesty, did not wish TO see the United
States interfere with the Mexican revo
luton, and that they were opposed TO
the sending of troops down to the
border. II is true. nevertheless, that
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS interests have
more to say in government affairs
than the liberty-loving Americans
Therefore. because these interests
wished to see their interests protected
they prevailed on the government to
send troops down TO the border TO pro-
tect, not so much Americans or Amer
lean interests, as Guggenheim inter-
ests.
Now that there is no way in which
the bluff can be carried out the gov
eminent has decided to Withdraw the
troops. Now hat the special inter
ests can no longer fool the people in
this country by telling them that the
government in Mexico under Diaz is
all that it should be. the troops are be-
ing withdrawn. 1t is to be hoped that
in the future, when a little Latin
American revolution breaks out, a
revolution that will in some way dis
turb' the special interests, the United
States viii be big enough
to turn down any suggestion made by
special interests. ERNEST BOOTH.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT ELECTION

mAYONNEi is to hold the first election in this State on the issue
I'D of a municipal commission government. The activity IN
Bayonne and other cities in which the adoption of this form
of government is proposed under the new State law has been con
Quoted wholly on the part of the advocates of the proposition. The
opposition has been quiescent. When the last set of constitutional
amendments was proposed all the agitation was conducted by the
partsans of the amendments, in the newspapers, on the platform
and in circulated literature. Little was said o" done on either side.
And vet when the questions were taken to the polls the amend
1nnents were emphatcally voted down. The success of the commits
sion government proposition in any municipality is not to be gagged
by the preliminary discussion. There is no way to Judge the sentl-
ment that refuses to speak except at the balotbox. The readiness
of Western communities to adopt experiments in political govern
ment has no counterpart in New Jersey, which is additionally con.
servative. as is evident enough in the unsuccessful attempts that
have been made to change the State Constitution. That duty is
wholly in the province of the people, and the conservatism is ex-
hibited bv the people themselves. The outcome of the Bayonne cleo
ton. is. therefore. a matter of doubt. There are considerations
involved in the election that are calculated TO react strongly against
the proposition, and undoubtedly the elements that are opposed will
not fail to use every effort for its defeat.

Prntest AGAINST smoke.

To the Editor Of the Evening star:
1 wish to again call your attention
to the manner in which men enter the
trolley cars carrying lighted cigars and
cigarettes, much &c the discomfort 81
other passengers. l was taking a troll
ley ride yesterday, and state truthfuly
that half of the men that entered the
car carried either a lighted cigar or a
cigarette. Now why is this? Is it not
known to the men that when they get
on a car they will not have the
privilege to smoke, or do they believe
thai they can steal a puff or two when
the conductor is not looking?
Now, as a woman who is opposed to
tobacco in all forms. I wish to take
this means of calling the attention OF
all conductors to @refully watch all
men that enter the cars and ask them
if they will not discard their smoking
materials. This violation of the health
code is mostly dangerous in regard tt
the so-called Turkish cigarettes, which
seem to continually burn up, even when
merely held in the hand. l do wish the
Public Service would take up this mat
ter and see what could be don to re-
lieve us. SUFFERER.

CARE OF OUR SHADE TREES.

@ TATE FORESTER GASKILL and State Entomologist Smith
~ have made no more important contributions to public
knowledge than what is contained in their papers advising
the public in regard to the care of the shade trees. In the past no
attention was paid to the trees that shade the streets, and they
were left TO any kind of abuse and to the attacks of insects. No
care was taken of them, and they had no protection. The street
using corporations butchered or mutilated them at will. To the
municipality there was no public property in a shade tree, and there
was stupid neglect of the trees in the public parks. \ great
change has been accomplished. 1t began in Newark. and the parks
were taken away from the slovenly care of the Board of Works
and given to a shade tree commission. Since that date more than
10000 shade trees have been planted in Newark, and careful aten-
ton has been given to all shade trees on streets. The excellent
work of the commission can be greatly aided by private attention
by citizens. The man who loosens the earth of the tree in front
of his house and waters it in dry weather shows good citizenship
of Newark?

paper dispatch, and the story is apocryphal on its face. 1t
was evidently an inspiration of a Taft rooter or ohicehoder. 1t is
too early at this time for such Endorsements, and, besides, there is
good reason to doubt support by Roosevelt of Taft's claim to a
denomination. The friends and partisans of Roosevelt are unfriendy
to Taft. They disrust him. 1t is not forgotten that in the first two
years of the Taft administration the Roosevelt policies were reversed
or treated with contempt, while high officials supported by Roose,
welt and in whom he had every confidence We're compelled to resign,
their places being filled by men who lampooned Roosevelt and
kicked out of the departments all who had been in sympathy with
him. Mr.. Taft has not rehabilitated himself in the esteem of the
Progressive Republicans whom he prematurey read out of the party,
and it i a question whether he will be able to do so before the next
national convention shall be held. And then there is the possibility
of q Roosevelt candidacy.

RECIPROCITY ALMOST ASSURED.

N CCORDING to the canvass of the Senate, thirtyfye Democrats
V\ and twentythree Republicans will vote for reciprocity,
while twenty-five Republicans and three Democrats will
vote against the bill. The Root amendment will probably not be
reported by the committee on finance, which has charge of the bill,
but it will be brought up, nevertheless, for a vote. This amend
ment is in the interest of the paper trust. and nulifes the reduced
paper and wood pulp duties in the bill. 1t also raises a formidable
obstacle to the acceptance of the agreement by Canada, which is
its main object. There is, however, a definite and almost certain
prospect of the passage of the unamended bill by the Senate.
