Sa HE great unit in politics is the party organization. Whether
in power II out of power, whether in victory or defeat, it is
ever the same. Parties may be torn by dissension and dis
rupted by faction, but there always exists more or less loyalty to
the organization. 1t is instructive. In American politics there are
two broadlydefned principles of government, represented by two
political organizations, and these principles have contended ever
since our government was established. There are times when new
issues come up to unsette the minds of voters, but eventually the
party lines are reformed, as these temporary issues are settled or
disappear, and the organization asserts itself. There can be only
two permanent political parties in the United States worthy to be
called parties, and these are the Democratic and the Republican
organizations. If they throw out great factions during some period
of party strife these elements return in time, though they may lose
something to the other great party. In 1896 the Democratic organi
cation lost forty thousand voters in New Jersey on the silver ques
ton, and in three succeeding presidential elections those voters sup
ported the Republican candidates. They have grayitated back to
the Democratic organization. And yet in the mouths of those who
have set about to eliminate party organization and run the party
without cohesion or experienced leadership, party organization is
an evil and menace, and leadership, except of their own kind, IA
species of crime.

Lots of folks will say they have hay
fever in JUNE or JULY
Turn them a leaf ear. They are
rank outsiders. The rules of the union
specifically prohibit any thirty-third-
degree hay feverite having hay fever
before August Is. If you encounter
any such you may safely classify them
as rose feverites," who are not recog-
nized by the Grand Order of Sneeze or
maybe they have merely been looking
at a picture of a sheaf of goldenrod.
August 10 is the official day. 1t Is
fixed by the American Hay Fever AS
ISOLATION, a bona-1de society, which
meets annually on that date In the
White mountains.
Nobody knows exactly what causes
hay fever, but the consensus OF
scientific opinion (Which is denied by
many mere sneezers) holds that II Is
the pollen, or fine. dust-like seed. Of
goldenrod. ragweed and other plants
which begin the process Of reproduction
early in August. When the pollen gets
into the nose and throat of some people
1t sets up an irritation that causes
sneezing, watery eyes, flowing secre-
lions, fever and profanity.
It's then that the hay feverite grabs
his grip and scoots. He must stay
away until Jack Frost has made his
first visit.
Hundreds of remedies for hay fever
are offered for sale, and they are about
as effective as a pinch Of sugar.

Ach-Ker-CHOO!!!
Hay fever is the great American
midsummer joke-for everybody but
the jokee. To him (or herr it's a
singing, choking, smarting, biting,
sneezing plague, about as funny as q
red-hot poker. But all of his Tor herr
suffering won't take the humor out of
hay fever. And it's right that 1t wont,
for with all his Cor herr swollen eyes,
blazing p~roboscis and blubbering
, speech, the hay feverite has several on
the rest of us.
In the first place. hay fever is a
it. Nobody who lacks the price of a
long vacation in the mountains or at
the shore is afflicted. That's one of its
little idiosyncrasies.
Hay fever Is also a high-brow dis
ease. Note this from the new inter-
national encyclopaedia:
Hay fever patients are people of
considerable intellectual development"
You not only have to be rich but
you have to nave brains. That makes
up for an awful lot of ker-choos.
Still another evidence of the exclu-
siveness of hay fever is its Ameri-
canism. England has a Door imita-
ton, but in all other lands society has
to struggle along without 1t. All of
which marks the hay feverite as a per-
son apart-albeit he is easily recog-
nized as such by his phiz any time
before frost.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In your Issue of August 5, in an edi-
torial on the decision of Attorney
General Gaskill, relative to the plum
age law, you say "in other words. the
act is probably a dead letter" We de-
sire to take issue with you in that
statement, as the law will affect the
very purpose for which it was passed,
i. e., the prohibition of sale of plumage
of native species. If plumage cannot be
sold it cannot be worn.
The law does not discriminate
against New Jersey milliners in favor
of those of New York, inasmuch as an
exactly similar law obtains in the lat
ter State. AS for Philadelphia. Penn
sylvania will soone or later swing
into line with a law of the same char
aeter. The sooner she does so, the
better for the welfare of her agricul-
tural interests. therefore. for the best
interests of the people of the State at
large. Very truly yours,

.CHICAGO'S OPERA SEASON
To LACK PUCC!Nl FEATURE
Diprel Gives One Reason, Casa
RicOrdi Another.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Chicago
Philadelphia Opera Company, of which
Andreas DIPPED is the director, has de
cided to go through its approaching
season of opera without producing any
of the operas of Giacomo Puccini, and
as he is believed to be the most popu-
lar composer of opera in the world to-
day, the course of Mr.. DIPPED has
aroused great interest.
The operas of Puccini which were
last year in the repertoire of the DIPPED
company were Madame Butterfly"
the most popular; La Boheme,'
",rosca'' and The Girl of the Golden
West Miss Farrar when she went TO
Chicago drew large audiences in
"Tosca" and Madame Butterfly" and
when Signor Caruso went to Chicago
he drew a large audience to hear The
Girl of the Golden West" When the
operas were given in the auditorium
the audiences declined, DIPPED says.
Mr.. DIPPED has not declined to take
the operas of Signor Puccini," George
Maxwell, representative of the Casa
Ricordi in this country, said yesterday
to a reporter. But, on the other hand.
the Casa Rieordi has declined to allow
Mr.. DIPPED to have any of the Puccini
operas, or, in fact, any operas pub
lished by the company"

DenOunces Lynehing.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
May I use your Rostrum Column as
a means of condemning the horrible
burning of a negro in Pennsylvania
the other day? The criticism of the
North should be even greater than the
criticism of the South in this matter,
because this outrage of crime was COM
mitted in a Northern town.
A short time ago we had a race riot
in the home town of Abraham Lincoln,
but the crime of Sunday was even
worse in its inhumanity. There was no
assault upon a woman, as in the other
case, and the poor man was in the
hospital as a result of self-inhicted
wounds. He was taken from his bed
and burnt in a huge fire, the crowd
gleefully thrusting him back into the
flames every time he attempted to
escape. This outrage will be read
about in all the cities of the world,
and it will be an awful stain on Amer
lean civilization.
1t is now up to the proper authorities
committed to see to it that the muir
derers receive the punishment they
deserve. This is the only way the
good name of the State of Pennsyl-
vania and of the United States can be
cleared from this stain. JUSTICE.

More Attention Needed.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Have you noticed the large number
of accidents hat ara happening every
day in our local Fairgrounds? Hardly
a day passes that several little Boys or
girls do not receive broken limbs or In
juries. Some of these accidents are due
to carelessness on the part of the chill
dren, but many of them could be avoid
ed if the Fairgrounds were properly at
tended. What is one young man to
look after 200 children? Another reason
that there are so many injured is that
the Fairgrounds are not closed after
the attendants go ncme. These faults
could he easily remedied and then our
Fairgrounds would be second to none.

STOKES SAYS No
SLIGHT INTENDED
Former Governor Gives Out
Statement on Ocean Grove
Dispute.

Former Governor Edward C. Stokes
sent the following letter, explaining
that no slight was intended to Governor
Wilson when President Taft visited
Ocean Grove, to a New York ews
paper. which published it today:
THE absurd stories sent out concern
ing the attitude of the Ocean Grove As
ISOLATION toward Governor Wilson in
connection with the visit of President
Taft as the guest of the ASSOCIATION on
Tuesday evening, August Ii, make
necessary a true statement of the case.
President Taft through the influence
of Governor Murphy, Congressman
Andrus and other friends of the asso-
citation, comes to Ocean Grove in a
civic capacity as a guest of the asso-
citation and not of the State The in
detinitcness surrounding the move
arrival, the manner in which he would
come, made it impossible to send out
invitations. For that reason only one
invitation was sent, and that to the
Governor of the State.
Prior to the sending of the invita-
ton l wrote the governor informally,
explaining to him the arrangements
we're indefinite: that an invitation
would be sent to him as soon as we
could arrive at a definite plan, and
IL -A- Ii. tls- H..
knowing that he was a busy man. 50
that he could arrange his plans to suit
his own convenience. AS soon as We
had any definite information at all the
governor of the State was sent the fol-
lowing invitation:

at 7:45 o'clock, and will be glad to
know as to the time of your coming

LORD BERESFORD DENIES
-ENGLISH CRISIS.
Talks of Peace Upon Arrival in
New York.

NEW YORK, Aug. II. Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford brought over
from Southampton yesterday, On the
White Star liner Olympic, an optimistic
opinion concerning the delicate situa-
ton existing between his own country
and Germany.
There is no i'll feeling between the
peoples of the two nations said Lord
Charles. The situation as it exists
now is due to our mutual selfish in
terests."
The retired admiral denied a cabled
interview credited to him in Berlin,
quoting him as saying that a serious
crisis existed between the two coun-
tries.
What | said,' he declared, was
that a short while ago Germany II
England could have gotten together.
1t is a pity that the opportunity seems
lost. The situation now, however,
is one that requires great care, but it
is hardly serious enough to suggest a
necessity for war. 1t is merely a stu
alton bound to occur between two
great commercial nations"

what Microbe Mars shore Amenities.

mt micrObe MFRS SnOrc AmenlticS.
To the E-itor OF the Evening Star:
What is the matter with some of
Jerseys world-famed coast resorts this
season? What insidious influence, more
deadly than the housefy and more
pestiferous than the phenomenal
"skeeter,'' has been at work during
the winter and Matched mischief in the
summers heat?
If there is any such thing as a mis-
chief-making psychological microbe it
certainly has work | it's harmful way
into some of the summer colonies of
which Jerseymen have peer heretofore
so justly proud.
/ am led to make these observations
because of the three distinct social dis
turbances that have agltated as many
seashore communities to such an ex-
tent that the press and people sit up
and take notice.
First we have that merry war at
Allenhurst, where society and non-so-
ciety got wofully mixed; then Belmar
and its Mayor and the 1ouJhty Major
Lentz at war. and now Bradley Beach,
named to keep the memoir green of
the pious founder of Asbury Park,
comes into the limelight because it re-
fused to spend a few dollars to help
welcome President Taft. ROBERT.

Likes Stnnd ON Sewer Question.

Likes stand on Sewer Question.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Let me congratulate the STAR upon
the agitation it has started to protect
our little ones from the danger OF
death tina turks in our unprotected
sewers. The horrible death of the little
girl In Hawthorne avenue the other
day ought to be an object-lesson to
those who are responsible for such a
deplorable condition of affairs and
somebody ought to be made criminally
responsible.
For goodness sake! isn't it worry
enough for the average parent to pre-
tent the dear ones from being run
over by autos, trolley cars or motor
cycles without having them worry over
such comparatively simple things as
unguarded sewers?
There ought to be some way also OF
protecting the boys n girls from
sewer dangers by holding down the
covers of manholes at the corners.
There is plenty of danger in the fact
that any boy or girl can raise the cover
of a manhole. 1t is done almost every
day to recover a lost ball or cattle.

A DANCE.

m N innovation in the use of a public schoolhouse as a social
Nv centre is that which was introduced in Jersey City last
night, the roof of a schoolhouse being used as a platform
for dancing for the youth of the school neighborhood, under the
auspices of a committee of the Board of Education. The popularity
of this new and novel move was attested by the presence of five or
six hundred dancers and spectators. The average young man and
young woman dance, and the love of dancing is wellnigh universal.
And there are dance places of a character to be avoided by both
sexes. How can those who can find no better means of gratifying
their love for dancing be kept away from such places? One means
is suggested by the municipal dance in Jersey City, which was the
first of a series provided for by the local educational authorities.

NATIONAL INTEREST IN AVIATOR ATWOOD.

Pts He whole country is watching the flight of Aviator Atwood
on his long journey from st. Louis to New York, and it may
be said that the whole country is anxious to see this extraor-
binary trip successfully completed as an American triumph in
aviation. 1t was the genius of two Americans that put the aero
plane in the air and nayigated it there, and the United States should
now be leading the world in aviation. But American enterprise
Jagged, and we permitted France to take the leadership and develop
the airship to such an extent as to leave us far in the rear. Con
gress is to be blamed for that, for Congress could see nothing in
aviation that could be of any utility, and, while it cheerfully voted
sixty milion-dollar river and harbor bills, it would not spare enough
to pay the cost of half a dozen aeroplanes for the army to expert
ment with.

THE ROOT or THE BRITISH LABOR TROUBLES

oTa RADE unionism is more fully developed in England than
in any other country. AS a rule, the English unions have
been conservative and their leaders clearheaded and strikes
have occurred only under great proyocaion. Sympathetic strikes
have been rare. The present great labor disturbance is, therefore,
exceptional, and seems to be epidemic. Begun by steamship sailors
and dock laborers, it has spread to all the transportation com
panies, to the tramways and to trade occupations. Strikes are pre-
cipitated without warning and apparently without cause. The eX-
PLANTATION may be found in social unrest. When that feeling pre-
walls it is bound to find expression in overt acts. The tendency to
strike is one of its manifestations. And what makes the unrest?
That's the question, at the root of the trouble, for craftsmanship to
deal with.
