To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
The new commission government act
says that the commissioners shall have
power to appoint as many subordinate
boards or officials as they may deem
necessary to conduct properly the
municipal government. In the face Of
this fact a speaker before the Clinton
Hill Improvement Association a few
nights ago said that the sum of $4,000
only would be spent in salaries under
the innovation,
Does the history Of reform move
ments show that reformers are not Of
fice-seekers? In Trenton the packers Of
the commission plan are first In the
field with nomination petitions. In
Essex county the Progressive Republic
can leaders have nearly all, at one
time or other, succeeded in ~feathering
their own nests. George L.. Record
was among the first to seek office when
a man of fellow feeling became Gov
ernor. In New York State the MEM
bers of the Democratic League, the or
ganization that defeated William F.
Sheehan for the Senate, have sue
ceeded IN edging themselves into COM
Portable berths.
Are we then to expect that the
species so hungry for office are going
to let the opportunity slip to make
offices for their following? Under a
commission more offices may be Gre
ated in a minute than, under any other
form of government. could be created
in a lifetime. OBSERVER.

II MOVES ON THE SENATE cHEssBoARD.

IJH HE unsuccessful attempt by the Senate finance committee
chairman to get a vote on the reciprocity bill on July "a
shows that he was overconfdent in his recent prediction that
the bill would be passed and that Congress would adjourn by
August 1, The Regular Republicans can count upon nothing at
this session, for they have no control of events. A statement by
Senator Bailey Yesterday indicated the Democratic position: 81
do not propose to join in any proposition" said he, that requires,
the Democrats to join with the stalwarts to pass this reciprocity
bill and then leaves us to join with the insurgents to pass bills
that will be SURE to be vetoed" Obviously, then, the Democratic
policy is to act upon the wool bill and the farmers free list bill
first and put them up to the President before the reciprocity bill
is brought to a vote in the Senate. If that policy is stuck to, with
Progressive help, August will wane into September and September
into October before the reciprocity bill is voted on or Congress

Small F,recracker. Harmless.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
AS the Fourth of July draws near
parents begin to look back with fear
at the long lists of killed and injured
who received their hurts in the cele-
brations of the last few "Fourths." In
1909 there were 215 killed and 5,S07 in
jured. In 1910 the use of blank cart
ridges was prohibited in many cities,
and the fatalities were reduced to 1S1,
while 2,92S were reported hurt.
Investigation showed that rs per cent.
of the injuries could still be traced
to blank cartridges. Now, instead Of
taking away the JOY of u youngsters
by prohibiting 1~recrackers altogether.
why don't the authorities just prohibit
revolvers and giant irecrackers and
let the children enjoy themselves with
harmless small Crackers"

city Jobs, Newark laborers be given the
preference yer those from other cities.
Now. while I heartily agree with the
sentiment of encouraging home trade
and home labor. l also agree with Pres
ident Guild, of the board, who re-
marked at the time that he didn't see
why the board should consult with the
labor unions before making appoint
ments. II you were going to have a
job done you would not employ an in
ferior workman, just because he hap
pened to live on o u street, and the
same thing applies to the Board Of
Educators policy. Yours truly,

A THOUSAND-YEAR ANNIVERSARY.

@UCH occasions as centennials, sesquicentennias and bicenten-
- malls of American cities, and even the four hundredth ami
gersary of the first Englishrspeaking Christian service in
America, celebrated by the Episcopal Church three years ago, sink
into insignifcance beside the millennial of Rouen, France. 1t is ten
centuries to a year since the Norseman landed there and made Rouen
the capital of Normandy. Even the present line of English kings,
founded by William the Conqueror, whose descendant was crowned
this week, was yet more than a hundred years in the future. Rouen
antedates by 700 years the landing of the Pilgrims, Rouen's thou.
sandyear Jubilee was appropriately honored by the presence of the
Swedish and Norwegian ministers, as well as President Fallieres
and our own ambassador, Mr.. Bacon. In comparison with the old
Norman town Newark is a youngster-seyen and a half centuries
younger-for this city will celebrate it's two hundred and fftieth
anniversary FIVE years hence. And it is high time to begin getting
ready for the event.

ABoUT MEN,
@CWoW

Gentle irony is one of the strong
points in the mental makeup of How
ard MacSherry. OF counsel for the
Public Service Corporation. The other
day he had a case in court with
former Judge Gilbert Collins, Of Jersey
City, as his opponent!
Don't mind Mr.. M~acSherry," said
Mr.. Collins to his witness, who was
apparently getting confused.
"oh, no." came from Mr.. MacSherry,
don't mind me; I'm only on the other
side In this case. I am of no impor-
lance whatever here. There is only one
star In the limelight just now, and
there II Isl"
With that he pointed at Mr.. Collins,
who gracefully bowed an acknowledge
ment.
There has always been much specula-
ton among the acquaintances of Peg
gy" Baldwin, doorman at police head
quarters, and side partner of Sergeant
Thomas Tracy, al to how the veteran
policeman got his nickname. But
Peggy has always kept silent on
that part of his history, and it looked
as if the reporters and clerks about
the hall who have spent their spare
time worrying over the question would
die nnsatisfed on the point. Peggy"
let 1t out himself yesterday. He was
describing the arrest of a persistent
dtet,,r1-o~ Nv bic haat and rrro,,A1 ,tn
his story with the remark, But I
kept peggin' away until I got him"
And when he was pinned down to it
he had to admit that the nickname
wal given him by the present chief,
who was then his captain.
Francis A. Mott, jr., an East Orange
judge, has a habit Of always replacing
the broken parts of his automobile by
buying two new parts. Mr.. Mott has
quite a collection of duplicates, and one
day an employee of the garage where
he keeps his machine said: "Mr. Mott,
why don't you buy another machine as
sort of a freight car to carry extra
parts?"
