CONCERNING PLATFORM PLEDGES.

I'D 9TH parties in the Legislature are pledged by anteelection
I'D platform promises TO pass a law for reciprocity with other
States in the privileges given to nonresident motorists. The
Senate has defeated a bill intended to carry out that bipartisan
obligation upon the Legislature. A similar bill introduced in the
Assembly failed last night because of a defect that is easily
remedied. If the Assembly, too, shall finally falsify the twoparty
pledge. what becomes OF all the talk at Trenton and Princeton
about the sanctity of party platform pledges? Here is a double
pledge deliberately violated.

ID. Roslng. who visits this city on
business tells the following story about
a customer of his, NJ. Ferguson, who
was about to fail in business.
IN of F%erguson's creditors, Elan
agan, of Elmira, getting wind Of the
state of Ferguson's affairs, came and
threatened TO put him into bankruptcy
unless he made a satisfactory settle
ment. Ferguson, to appease him,
offered to make him a preferred cred
itor. Upon further inquiry, Flanagan
found that while Ferguson's liabilities
would be considerable, his assets would
be nothing, and he went back to Fer
guson and angrily demanded:
Where does the preference come in
since you have nothing, and 1 will not
get anything in either case?"
"Preference?' asked Ferguson, in
astonishment, why, don't you see the
advantage? You know right away
what o get; the others have to wait
at least ninety days before they find
out that they can't get anything"

To the Editor of the Evening STAR;
The police have before them a work
the Importance of which they probably
do not realize, that Of Kidding h city
of the gambling devices that tempt
the school children. Children, as we'll
as grown-ups, love to take part in q
game of chance, and the gambling
habit is easily acquired. There are at
the present time several wholesale
candy houses making a specially OF
chance candies"
The purchaser always gets something
for his money, but because every now
and then the youngster has the chance
of getting five cents worth of candy
for one penny he will take as many
chances as he has pennies. Very often.
the pennies that he spends have been
stolen from his mother or from some
other person
The wise Solomon said: Bring up
a child in the way he should go and
when he is old he will not depart there
from This is a saying that we ought
to pay a great deal of attention to.
The way 10 do this is to take away
temptation from the child. Chances"
in themselves seem innocent enough,
but the youth acquires a habit that
is not easily got rid OF. From candies
in a candy store he will go to dice in
a cigar store and then to poker and
other card games, at which large stakes
are won and lost.
The police commissioners should give
this matter their attention and instruct
h officers to confiscate all the
gambling devices in the city, whether
they are slot machines or candy paster
cards. HERBERT RANSOM.

ity of the 2 per cent. deduction from
the salaries of the teachers in order
to keep the fund alive. In the minds
of all who have studied the matter
there never appeared a doubt that the
law was anything but good and con-
duciye to the best interests of the pub
lie at large.
It Is too bad that some meddlesome
persons thought otherwise and dragged
the subject into the courts, creating
costly litigation.

tee that some day he or she may re-
tire upon the fruits of his or her tasks

At the Amen Corner dinner at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York
Saturday night. where the Amen Cor
ner brethren made merry With their
guests. which included several we'll
known J%erseynlen, there was a bur
lesdue German band. The band vas
composed of alleged musicians, was
labeled "Cherman bandit" and played
lame music while the diners dined and
the stunts went on after the manner
of the famous Gridiron club in Wash
ington.
By-and-by there was comnotion IN
the space reserved for the band n
the musicians quit playing. Everyone
in the room, of course, knew there had
been some hitch. When the musicians
started TO leave the POSTMASTER spoke
up.

Were on strike" announced the
leader.
"On strike? And leaving US in this
manner? Why, its out of the question.
What's the cause of the trouble?'
We'll" announced the leader. I'VE
heard that Senator DepeW was going
to spring tina old, stale joke about
what happened to him when he was IA
boy in Peekskill. and We couldn't stand
for It."
Thereupon the senator tor his double)
stood up, declared hat he had no such
intention, and the threatened strike
was averted.

Judge Thomas a. Davis was hear
ing a lunacy case one day recently in
which two ladies seated far back in
the room were very much interested.
Seated near them were Dan Demarest,
jr., and Jimmy Cowen, wv of the court
attaches.
Dan was talking to Jimmy who was
writing down on separate cards all
that Dan said. which was about as
follows:
IF I Had the World to Give" All
That | Want Is Love-" Love Me and
the World Is Nine Tell Me With
Your Eyes" and so ON with a string
of what was apparent gibberish to the
two women who had become interested.
"Why, the big man that is talking
must be crazy and the little fellow is
his keeper" finally remarked n of
the women. isn't it too bad? He's
such a nice-looking man, too"
well, l guess hat Will be enough,
Jimmy remarked Dan as Ire gathered
up the cards. THAT list ought to please
the sheriff"
For be 1t known that DeInarest,
besides being a constable, is the leader
of an orchestra, and he was arranging
a list of popular music to be played at
the coming reception Of the Sheriff
Harrigan Association.

SHE MADE
GOOD HER
PROMISE

That good strong right arm and
plentous supply of courage is bet
ter emergency equipment for a wo-
man than is a police whistle, was
ably demonstrated late yesterday
afternoon when Mrs. Catherine
Clark, proprietress of lodging
house at Court and Liberty streets,
elected stubborn drunkard from
her house.
The man, whose name could not
be learned, applied for lodgings at
Mrs. Clark's house. The woman iN-
variably refuses lodgings to any one
under the influence of liquor, and,
noticing that the man was intoxicat-
de, she refused to furnish him with
room.
He informed Mrs. Clark that he
would remain, even against her
wishes. When told that she would
eject him from the place, he intimat-
ed that she was not able to perform
the trick.
The next instant he was sprawling
on the walk at the foot of the stairs.
Without further argument as to
Mrs. Clark's ability in enforcing her
word, the surprised man slowly arose
from the sidewalk, brushed his
clothes and wandered off up the
street.
