The River That Runs No More.

Gave back the bird the song it sung,

Reflected the cloud and shining star,
Its banks sbloom 10 the ocean bar;
1t ripped the breeze and earessed the sun
Until the long, long way was run:

Remembers the river that rnns no MORE

WILL BICYCLING EVER REVIVE?

5a HERE have been signs during the past two years of a revival
of bicycling. Two factories in the United States are now
turning out 10000 bicycles annually. AS good "A wheel can
be bought today for $50 as one that cost $S5 a dozen years ago.
Standardization of parts has rendered this possible. Cycling is,
next to walking, the most healthful form of locomotion, and it is a
pity that the vogue of the automobile has supplanted it to such
an extent. The cheaper pastime and the one that also has the
advantage of being an exercise seems almost neglected. Use of
the bicycle for going to and from work accounts for most of the
100000 sold in Il year. Shall we ever see again the good old days
of about 1898 1900? What has become of the League of American
Wheelmen? And who ever meets a "club rum on the road?

shocked by students. Brawls.

= ny raw
TO the Editor of tn eEvening Star:
! We often heal of riots in Russia.
Germany, Hungary and other Eu-
ropean countries, in which the students
are the chief participants. 1t is not
an unusual thing for students to spend
nights and days and weeks in jail be-
cause of %rioting. Nevertheless, the
rioters of Europe, scholarly and we'll
horn young men, are not rioters for
the same reasons that disgrace stu
dent life in the United States. Eu-
ropean Students take part in class
wars. in demonstrations against tyr
my n oppression, not in after
football brawls.
The spectacle in New Haven Satur-
day night is one of the greatest Of
fcnses that has come to the notice
of the public in years. 1t equals only
those that mark the close of big foot
ball games in Boston. In the light of
student history in this country it
would seem that the Jail is the logical
place for a certain class of students
who witness football games.
Despite the fact that our students
arc often involved in police scandals,
it is never in the cause of reform or
intellectual or religious freedom that
they land in the lookup. In Europe
it is different. Is there reason, and
what is it? BRUCE HANCOCK.

ENGLAND'.S COURT SCANDAL.

m SCANDAL of no small magnitude startles England. The
FN summary dismissal of the kings chaplain and honorary
chaplain OF former Queen Alexandra on charges of drunk
enness and immortality is Il strange happening in a court that was
modelled on the virtues of Queen Victoria. Time was in England
when drunkenness and immortality were regarded as venial ohenses,
easily condoned, and WREN the sovereign set the example, but
British court morals have greatly changed. The accused clergyman
has been on the road to a bishopric, too; was a trusted friend of
the late King Edward and was socially at the top notch. Rt
there is no accounting for the occasional moral downfalls of lien
and women in stations in life that seem to safeguard them from
any serious transgresson.

TWO RREc0NCLABLE TRIBUNALS.

6TTa WO national tribunals fighting each other every inch of the
way is the situation that has been created by the establish
ment of the Commerce Court to cripple the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The governments appeal from the Commerce
Courts Injunction in the Spokane cases will bring squarely before
the Federal Supreme Court the claim of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to full power to divide the country into rate zones
and apply rates to those zones on the percentage basis. If the
Supreme Court decides this point against the railroads and the
Commerce Court the latter body will be judicially, as it i" popularity,
discredited. Has the administration in this matter acted the part
of a Frankenstein and created "A monster that will destroy it?

Defends Trusts.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
A word or two regarding trusts.
their operations, their effects on the
masses n the problem of what to do
with them, it seems to me, is timely
at the present moment. We have all
sorts of hysterical outbursts anent this
question lately, and a few pertinent re-
marks will not be out of place. | wish
to say at the outset that the views 1
hold ON the subject are not new or
novel, but are only views that ought
to be considered by anyone They are
the views held by the intelligent stu
den of political economy, and have no
regard for the political situation of the
day, no regard for the political aspira-
ions of a standpatter like Taft, a.
loose talker like Roosevelt or a self
appointed shepherd of the people like
Wilson.
In brief, I contend that trusts are a
blessing to the community, because
they make for the economical produce
ito and distribution of commodities.
Trusts mean scientific, waste-eliminat-
ing production. Trusts put an end to
Anticipated methods of competition and
reduce the manufacture of things to a
business basis.
Their effect upon the people is not
always good, because private owner
ship always makes for selfishness and
counterbalances the benefits derived
from economical production.
Therefore, l declare that trusts
should at this time be regulated by the
State; kept in check by honest laws
administered by honest officials, and
then, when the time is ripe, taken over
altogether by the nation. Let the ma
ton own the trusts" is the cry of the
progressive man. 1t is not the trust
that works harm, but the maladminis-
tration of trusts.

GIVE BACK THE SCHOOL TAXES.

oTH HE necessity for largely increased expenditures for schools
to meet pressing needs in Newark should impel the local
authorities to appeal TO the Legislature to restore to the
school districts the railroad tax revenue that was taken away
from hem three years ago. The alleged necessity for that arbitrary
Misrepresentation of school moneys does not now exist and, IN TACT,
never did. The State treasury is loaded with surplus funds, While
the Increased railroad tax will bring in an additional annual revenue
of about a million and Il half dollars. In The last five years Newark
has borrowed over S5O00000 for school purposes and there are
still about three thousand children not properly provided for. The
railroad taxes are assessed on property in the municipalities. why
should the State glut the treasury with the income, leaving 1T lie
there unused, while the school districts are struggling to maintain
their schools and piling up debt in the effort?

vent any disastrous results. I am
sure n woman would lament being
the cause of injury to anyone through
her carelessness.
Now, as the Merry Widow hat is no
longer in vogue, l would suggest dis
carding the long hatpin, and, If there
must be any projection at all, let it be
at the ornamental end.
However, these is even a better way,
and that is to have the pin cut short,
which can be done at a trifiing cost.
In conclusion, ] think it would be a
good plan if our trolley cars would put
up warning signs for the safety of pas
sengers.

AMERICAN CITIZENS IN RUSSIA.

cTN HE subject of Hussia's obstinate disregard of treaty obhga-
tons in its treatment of American citizens who visit or at.
tempt 10 visit that country is now commanding national at
tenfion. There is no doubt that Russias attitude has been en-
couraged by Indifference and neglect at Washington, for there is
no evidence of any rea5 effort to get Russia to change her policy
and comply with her treaty engagements. 1t is intolerable that
any class of American citizen should be grossly and insultingy
Disseminated against by ii foreign government. The criticisms
aimed at our former ambassador at st. Petersburg should be directed
against the state department. II is There the responsibility lies.

saybrook station scored.

70 the Editor of the Evening Star:
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
certainly did not spend much money
on the makeshift for a station in Say
brook place judging from the APP
p~earance of the place. 1t is said to be
only a temporary arrangement, but j.
is an insult to the city and the neigh
borhood where it is located, as there
are fine buildings in that vicinity.
An undertaken looking at he build
ing the other day said it would make
a good morgue.
