To the Editor of the Evening Star:
| have not had a chance until o to
answer a communication which APP
peared in yonr Rostrum column some
time ago, stating that the Public Serv-
ice Railway Company was holding up
it's cars for as much as sever minutes
at a time on the Elizabeth line, to en-
able the inspector to collect the addi-
tional fare.
l work for the company. and 1 live in
Elizabeth, so | have a double chance to
know the true situation. In most cases
the car does not stop at all. for the
inspector rides with the car while he
collects the fares. Your correspondent
has exaggerated the circumstances.

To the Editor of the Evening star:
Is there any fair reason why the Pub
lie Service Company could not run its
Clinton street cars out Belleville ave-
nue.? These cars, with several others,
from the Four Corners to the depot
they carry a very limited number of
passengers.
There are many people. especially
during rush hours, who would find
great accommodation if the Clinton
cars went out Belleville as far as the
car barns. Don't see how the Public
Service could lose by such a change.

THE ABSENTEE COUNSEL.

m T Hackensack ON Tuesday, when the legislative committee
I'M appointed to investigate Bergen county affairs met for bust
ness, the witnesses and others interested were present, but
the paid counsel for the committee sent an excuse. He had legal
business to attend to. The unpaid witnesses were dismissed, to be
called back at the convenience of the paid counsel. If any of them
had failed to appear for business reasons an officer would have
been dispatched to take them, and the men could be held in
contempt. But why should the paid lawyer for the committee have
an exceptional privilege, to the discomfort, annoyance and loss of
the unpaid witnesses and perhaps to prejudice the Investigation?

u any trains before 6 o'clock in the
morning. thereby conforming to the
schedule of the Pennsylvania Railroad

trains every half hour after 4 o'clock

TN NDER the new law providing for better safeguards from fire
in factories the State factory inspection department has
made great progress in procuring the erection of proper fire
escapes on buildings in which labor is employed and in making
the means of exit safer. Many of the freescapes previously erected,
inadequate and dangerous, have been replaced with improved
ones. While the State has been doing this work on factories and
other places of employment. it is observed that there is far less
zeal displayed in the equipment of business buildings that come
under the jurisdiction of the citys building inspection department.

INTEREST IN CITY BETTERMENTS.

IT T is well to get seven hundred representative citizens together
socially to arouse their interest in matters relating to the
material welfare of our city. But the interest thus created
soon evaporates if talk is not translated into action and if there is
no good organization with Jealous and effective workers. We can
all agree about the great advantages of Newark, the necessity for
development and the great benefits that will ensue, and we can
edify ourselves with fattering pictures of the future of Newark,
but somebody must do something besides talk and not be afraid of
doing. So far the "city beautiful" is a rhapsody and the develop
ment of our waterfront has not progressed "a snairs pace in three

OUR TENDER CARE FOR OTHERS.

oTTa HIS is a great and glorious country, and the privilege of being
an American citizen is worth something. For instance. YOU
can send four pounds, and no more, through the United
States mails at sixteen cents per pound. The citizen of almost
any other country-Panama is the latest-can send twelve pounds
through those same United States mails at less than half the rate
charged American citizens. The eight pounds difference and the
difference in the rate is what it costs you to be a son of this benef-
lent republic. Why? Ask Congress and the express companies.

Supply and demand will control
the price of cotton or any other
commodity. The crop of 1910 is
some larger than was at one time
expected and the result of this is
evidenced by the decline in price.
Texas has recently had good rain,
giving ample moisture to start their
crops. The high price of cotton will
stimulate planting.
The south cannot buy corn, hogs,
md mules at big prices and
pay its bills with low price cotton.
Consicer this carefully. Be sure to
plan your crops so as to grow ample

Born in log cabin near Nawark
twenty-nine years ago, Earle W.
Hodges has early in life risen to a
place of prominence in his native
state. Not so many years ago but
that he can remember it distinctly,
Earle Hodges was a devil in a
country newspaper office. 1t is
said he made a good one and richly
deserved the insignia of his office.
Later he went into the newspaper
business on his own hook" and
made good, but left the editorial
field to accept a position in the Of
flee of State Auditor John r. Jobe.
In the last democratic primaries he
offered himself as a candidate for
Secretary Of State and, notwith-
standing the fact that he had a
strong opponent backed by strong po-
litical friends, he won the race by a
decisive majority. Hodges is the
youngest Secretary Of State Arkan-
sas has ever had. and his friends
say the state has never had a bet
ter one. His friends say, too, that
he will 90 higher. North Arkansas
will be found helping him.

The Chronicle told it on the doctor

would dive down into the petty

with apparent relish hash up for its
readers some little dirty personality,
with the result that business men
of the town withdrew their support
from the paper.
We have never believed that the
local newspaper, or any other pa

scavenger. We have never believ-
ed the newspaper should fill its

indeed be groveling nature that
