An Example of Eth.

An Example OF Filth.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Having been a contributor to this
column on a previous occasion, I again
ask that this communication be pub
lished. Several days ago 1 was walk
ing with my. wife down Broad street
with an anaemic looking chap in front
of us. At every twenty. PAGES he would
ex%pectorate on the walk. 1t made me
nervous, but being on the shady side
or the street, 1 did not care to cross
When I thought that he had gone far
enough, l told him there was a city
ordinance which prohibited splitting on
the walks. He smiled and told me to
enforce it. Now, l did not wish to get
into any argument, and went on my.
way. 1 suppose I should have called
an officer, but then there would have
been the unpleasantness of going to
court. Now, 1 do hope that the officers
of the board of health are still active
in their campaign against this evil to
health. 1t is a very filthy habit and
should be abated. SANITAS.

A TAF7-RoOsEvEL7 FIGHT OPENING.

cTe HE drift of the Controller bay controversy is towards an
Ii open fight between the Taft administration forces and the
Republicans aligned under the Roosevelt banner. Roose-
welt has held aoof from all contention, but when his admins
tration is attacked at a vital point by administration men speak
ing for Taft he is bound to come out in the open. As a means OF
ofsetting the scandal of Nh. Tafts secret act opening Controller
bay, the design of a Wall Street group, it is now charged by
partisans of Mr.. Taft that during the Roosevelt administration
there were large Withdrawals for town-site purposes from the same
forest reserve. and that one of these sites is now the terminal OF
the Morgan,Guggenhem railroad running to the Alaskan coal
fields. The retort is that townsites We're withdrawn before any
monopoly of the coal fields was threatened, and that the with
drawals had been asked for by the people of Alaska. Moreover,
the TOWNSHIP could not be converted to the uses of a monopoly. 1t
could not bar entrance to the Alaskan coal fields for competition.
But the counterattack upon the Roosevelt policies marks the open
ing of a fight which was looked for when Roosevelt returned from
Africa and found that Mr.. Taft had equipped his administration
with the enemies of Roosevelt and his policies.

AWFUL GRADE CROSSING RECORD.

@ LAUGHTER at railroad grade crossings continue with CHASTITY
regularity. The last reported was that of four persons at
= crossing in Il Pittsburg suburb. A list of slaughters SINCE
January / up to July 26 shows that out of thirtysix cases of killing
at grade crossings in New Jersey and New York no less than TWEEN
tyone were in New Jersey. Shall this slaughter go on unchecked?
Is there no relic. to be found in the law? Are high-salaried public
utility boards incapable of doing anything to abolish the death
traps that claim SO many victims? The National Highways Pro
grade crossings, but unless the public quickly responds and makes
such a clamor that Legislature and public boards will act, what will
be the use? The recent killings of automobile parties at exposed
railroad crossings should arouse every automobile organization in
the country to action. The demand should go to the Legislature
and public boards that this murder must be stopped and that the
railroads must be compelled to abolish the traps they have set
up for human beings. We have read with horror of the iuggernaut
in India in former times that rolled on to crush out the lives of
unhappy mortals, but the barbarous Indian custom did not claim as
many victims as the American railroads do at their grade cross
ings, and death under the juggernaut was not more brutally inflicted
than death at the crossing. New Jersey is full of these death,
traps. They meet the traveller everywhere, and in the most densely,
populated sections of the State. To the railroad corporation grade
crossing murder is only a matter of bookkeeping. There is no con-
science to be appealed to by the spectacle of men, women and chill
dren lying in slaughtered heaps. The deathtrap is set anew for
other victims, and the tragedy goes on.

PREpARING ANOTHER PITFALL FOR TAFT.

NRESIDENT TAFT is giving his ear again to his reactionary
liz counselors, whose advice has led him into several quag-
mires and made his administration lamentable in its re
suits. They are counse1ing him to veto all the tariff reform bills
that are sent to him by Congress. Unfortunately, this counsel is
in harmony with the Presidents incinations. He would promptly
veto the reform legislation if he was convinced that his act would
not be a shock to the sentiment of the country. Knowing this, the
reactionary advisers tell Mr.. Taft that he has nothing to fear; that
he would suffer no public dhscredit, and that what the people really
want is tariff revision only on lines recommended by the tariff
commission which Senator Aldrch and Speaker Cannon indulgently
him when they were in power in Congress- And President
fTaft is quite likely to walk right into another pitfalL

Which Was Itf

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Is tact better than brutal strength?
This question was answered in the
affirmative this evening when a Ber-
ger street trolley car struck an auto
at Bergen street and Seventeenth ave-
nue.. The auto was thrown in such a
position as to obstruct traffic, and after
numerous attempts to push the wreck
from the tracks a Public Service
wrecking crew was sent for. They ar
rived in record-breaking time, armed
to the teeth with a wrecking< car,
tackle, snatch-blocks. steel cables, ETC.,
and after working approximately a
half hour were about to give UP in
despair when one of the boys who
had watched the men use all their en-
cheering ability suggested that a few
men ought to get behind the auto and
push it, They desired to try this and
it was not more than thirty seconds
before the street was clear of all
wreckage. 1t was amusing to see that
once at least brutal strength went
further than tact. WILLIAM F.

A TRAINING IN CRAFTSMANSHIP.

TEORMER GOVERNOR FORT has returned to%his native heath
: reinvigorated by foreign travel after his laborious tasks as
governor. He has crossed two oceans and visited many
countries and observed their different peoples, and his experience
doubtless has given him new ideas and Impressions of men and
things. Foreign travel is said to broaden a man ont, and a trip
around the world, with intelligent observation. and the ability to
learn, is certainly a good corrective for narrowness of mind, which
is the fault of too many of the men who attain official responsibility
or who make our laws. Craftsmanship is learned by foreign travel
and by contact with other civilizations as we'll as by study and prac
tie. A man who has had training in politics and government, as
we'll as in law, is a close observer abroad and absorbs information
that others would disregard. If, as has been assumed. the former
governor returns with the purpose of getting in line as a candi
date next year for the party nomination for United States senator,
he can plead the advantage he has to offer of a large fund of vau
able craftsmanship knowledge acquired in his trip around the
world

INSULT TO THE STATE INFORM A CRIME.

mr. HE indignity offered to the military uniform of the State by
the management of the Beach Casino at Asbury Park by
denying entrance to an officer of the State guard on account
of his uniform has been followed up by the impudent denial of
the privileges of the Casino to a number of guardsmen in uniform.
1t is said that the National Guard officers will take the matter up.
That duty lies with the prosecutor of Monmouth county,, since a
statutory crime was committed. A law passed at the last session
of the Legislature provides that if the management or employees
of any public place of amusement shall refuse to admit or shall in
any way discriminate against a person wearing the uniform or
insignia of the United States army II the National Guard of this
or any other State on account of his uniform, such management or
employee shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. The penalty imposed is
a fine not to exceed 1000 or Imprisonment for a term not exceeding
three years, or both. If this law is not a mockery it will be in
yoked in this case, and as the crime was defantly repeated adequate
punishment should follow. 1t is due to the National Guard of the
State to see that the Monmouth prosecutor does his duty and does
it we'll. Insult to the State uniform should end with this particular
case. $780,

The Monkeys and the Cocoanuts

A FABLE.
One That Aesop Unfortunately Overlooked.

: One That As.ep Unfortunately Overlooked. I
T N a desert on the seacoast of Africa grew a cocoanut tree at a spot much
visited by a number of rowing monkeys. Two Or three of these monkeys,
: observing that the tree "a a bearing one, watched it with considerable
care and made it a frequent resort because of the anticipation they felt. An
other monkey came along and lohered near the same tree, in the artess
fashion of monkeys and small boys when they suspect something is coming
off, Greatly annoyed, the other monkeys spoke to him resenfuly yet dplo-
maicany. They pointed out they we're not going to divide the cocoanuts, but
guarding the tree for the trees sake, and that really there we're enough
monkeys on the job. Upon which the unwelcome monkey after a careless
glance at the tree, departed.
But keen was the disgust of the other monkeys when a short time after
ward they were revisited by the one they had got rid of. They found him in
the act of shining up the tree quite brazeny.
1--WE thought you we're going to stay off" they chatered at him.
Certainly replied the monkey, hugghng a most desirable cocoanut to
his bosom, "but now the cocoanuts are rpep
