Wants Pure Candy.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In these days of many Investigations
and endless reforms. I would like to
make a suggestion that may appear to
be trivial, but, nevertheless, is of vital
Importance.
My suggestion is that the Board of
Health, or some other constituted au-
thority, that may have jurisdiction,
should look after the sale of
the tons of so-called Candy that is
going on here all the time. l refer to
the little store on the corner" where
the small boy and girl spend their
substance in revelry of sweets.
The stuff sold is so cheap that it is
absolutely worthless. Yet hundreds of
innocent children swallow it every day
and nobody cares. Careless parents
are much to blame, of course, but the
temptation should be removed.

THOsE BIC RAHROAD ASSESSMENTS.

TT I is well TO ask if the State will get the tax on $26.OO0,OOO
of increased assessed valuation of secondclass railroad prop.
aerty announced by the State Board of Assessors. There is IA
~welLdefned suspicion that much of this valuation is moonshine and
will so be pronounced by the courts, to which the assessment will
be appealed. The increase is only on the secondclass property,
and the assessments ON the main stem, the personal property and
the franchise are yet to be announced. Having made such an
immense boost in second class property alone, what may not be
expected from the rest? The franchise was assessed last year at
SOL, 605,400 the main stem at $13014921O and the personal prop
crty at S~31, 2013S5. What opportunity there is in these items for
increases to make a total aggregatng $15OO0OO0, or even 500,
100000, And the process might be simple enough-merey that
of multiplying by two. All assessments by the State board are
subject to review by the courts and the final assessment is fixed
by the court. If assessments are made much in excess of any rea
sonaIle figure the courts are sure to disalow them, SO it is a waste
of time and a needless expense to make such assessments. Some
times an official board acts for buncombe, for effect in politics. 1t
is moi charged that the extraordinary assessments of railroad
property this year have that object, but it is evident enough that
the valuations fixed and to be fixed by the State board will be
subjected to the closest scrutiny and a very thorough revision by
the courts when they are appealed. The courts cannot act, how
ever, until after the election.

2HEAP DEVICES EoR WAFER pURLEICAT1ON

c1 HE judicial decision that obliged Jersey City to accept the
II device of dragging a bag of chloride of lime through the
reservoirs in the Rockaway watershed as a sufficient purf-
cation of the ciys water supply, under the terms of the water con.
tract, was a tip to enterprising geniuses. Most of the cities and
towns have contaminated water supplies, and are indisposed, for
financial reasons, TO go to any great expense TO procure pure water.
What a golden opportunity for the water publication quack, and
what tempting offers he can make to economical local authorities!
He or somebody else has discovered a substance or process by which
water that may be heavily impregnated with sewage can be
made as pure as the limpid water that springs from the virgin
rocks. No need to go away from the river or creek at your doors
to get a pure water supply. Jersey City is not satisfied with the
chloride OF lime treatment and the quack has a better. one. Tren-
Ton takes her water from the sewageladen Delaware river, and
the State Board of Health has ordered the city to procure a supply
from a purer source or have the water filtered. The city authorities
are experimenting with chloride of lime. The process is cheap. If
that doesn't prove satisfactory there are other cheap processes on
hand for adoption. One is called the ozonization of the water by
Iassng it through a machine in which the organic matter is
claimed to be burned up by ozone. There are no credentials for
that ozonizadon, but it is cheap, and that is seven-eighths of the
question. Fortunately for our city of Newark, we are protected
from these devices by an undefled water supply from mountain
sources.

sussestion to Police Board.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
With a word of commentator for
your publie-spirited efforts to run to
earth the man, or flend, who caused the
death of William H. Stanford Thurs
day morning, let me make a suggestion
that has probably already occurred to
the police board. but is not out of
place in your columns, nevertheless.
In view of the remarkable increase of
automobile traffic, and the decline of
horse-drawn traffic, would it not be
wise to discard, or at least cut down,
the mounted squad and replace the
horses with motorcycles. 1t would cost
more, and speeding would be a crime
harder to get away with than it is
at present, when there are only five
motorcycle policemen in the entire city.
A night service also should be installed,
in the darkness speeding is not
only harder to detect, but attended by
more dangerous consequences, a double.
reason why it should be stopped.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
| see that the Public Service Cor
poration is again taking matters into
its own hands with regard to their
transfers. Bulletins have been posted
in all trolley cars to the effect that a
person must take the first passing car
at the point where he transfer is
punched or the conductor will refuse
to take 1t. This means that If a person
walks a block. away from the transfer
point that his transfer is no good and
he will nave to pay another fare.
This is about the most unfair ruling
that the company has ever made, be-
aus in some cases they don't even
carry you to the transfer point. This
is the case on both the Roseville and
Turnpike cars when they transfer you
on Market street. They only carry you
TO Bank and Broad streets and then
you must walk the extra block to Mar
ket street. Here is a case where the
company forces you to walk a block to
use your transfer but if you wish to
walk a block from your transfer point.

THE REASON II

61Ta HE Passaic Daily Herald, Democratic, rises to say: "Truy,
the lack of enthusiasm shown in the approaching primaries
and the lack of men showing eagernesss to have a part in the
new victories of the Democratic party are difficult to understand"
If the Passaic Herald doesn't understand there are clearer-visioned
Democrats in New Jersey who do. Organization, which is the life
of political parties, has virtually been outlawed in New Jersey, and
the Democratic voter has been told by high authority that the best
Democrat is the man who bolts his ticket and goes over to the
enemy, The candidate for public office, in the contemplation of the
new law, is a man with criminal tendencies who must be hedged
about by restrictions and be watched by detectives. The men who
manage party campaigns are held to be men without honor, ready
to commit any criminal act to carry out their purposes. If paralysis
has come upon the political parties, if there is a lack of en-.
thusiasm,' should the Passaic Herald be cropping in the dark to
discover the reason why?

ELECTIONS GALORE FOR H PEOPLE.

CTA HE Legislature was induced to abolish spring elections some
Ii years ago for the reason given that two elections in a wear
was such a tax upon the voters time that they were made
reluctant to discharge the duties of citizenship, and hence many
citizens stayed away from the polls and voted only in presidential
elections. The logic that prevailed against spring elections at that
time was entirely lost upon the Legislature this year. The logic
that prevailed at Trenton last winter was just the contrary. What
the people wanted, it was held, was more elections in a wear. And
they have been provided for. Trenton and Passaic have had three
elections during the year, and they will each have two more, max
ing five If the referendum should be invoked the voters may be
summoned to the polls again and again before the wear is ended.
How the new experiment in municipal politics will work out We
will know better in a year or two.

HOW THE LABOR MEN LOOKED.

IT ABOR DAY was ideal in its weather conditions. A fairer
L. September day was never experienced. And it was a real
holiday. Everybody but those whose labor is necessary
to the public on a holiday took the day off, and if thousands left
the city they never we're missed in the multitude on the streets.
But the noteworthy feature of the day was the character of the
parade. The thousands of men, and women, too, who passed in
review before other thousands of people on the sidewalks showed
a quality of citizenship that could not be matched by a labor pro
cession in any city of Europe. Erect, weldressed, with intelligent
faces and the conscious air of American sovereigns, sNewarks
workingmen, as well as workingwomen, did honor to the Newark
community by the appearance they made.
