PLATFORM OF THE ESSEX DEMOCRATS.

e1a HE Democratic Assembly platform adopted by the party organ
ization in Essex county is concise as we'll as comprehensive.
II covers the whole ground of good and needed legislation
for This State. IT is eminently progressive. Formerly it was said
that party platforms were like pie crust, made TO be broken, but
that stigma does not attach to the Democratic State platform of
1910, for il may truthfully be said that the pledges of that platform
were not only fulfilled, but overfulflled. The people really got
more of reform than they wanted. But most of the time of tue
last legislature, nevertheless, was wasted on a single bill and
opportunities for important remedial legislation were frttered away.
Barnace boards and commissions were permitted TO live, the ques-
ton of conservation was not touched, the tax question received no
consideration whatever, nothing was done in regard to the railroad
grade crossings that claim so many victims in this State, the hope
that The Legislature would adopt an energetic policy of mosquito
determination was disappointed and a bill for a constitutional con
vention that was introduced during The session was not brought up
for discussion. 1t has been demonstrated that the reform of our
archaic Constitution cannot be comprised by special amendments.
A popular convention is necessary. These and other vitality inn.
portant needs of the people are now set forth in the Democratic
platform, which may be accepted as the declaration of the New
Jersey Democracy p

SELFISH INTERESTS OPPOSING THE SEWER

IT T is manifest enough in the unreasonable and persistent opposl
ton by parties in New York city TO the plan of a trunk sewer
for The Passaic valley, with an outlet in New York bay, that
sion has fully complied with the requirements of the war depart
ment that the sewage discharge must be free from solids and OF
matter in suspension, and the outlet is 10 be in New Jersey waters
forty feet deep. While New York city pours hundreds OF millions
Of gallons of crude sewage into the bay the rassaic sewer will dis
charge only the e61uent. But nothing can satisfy an opposition
that seeks TO defeat sewer construction. Obviously, if there is no
outlet there can be no sewer. The true source of this obstinate
opposition may bc found in the Offices of the corporations that have
disposal plants to build and that want to force the New Jersey.
municipalities into contracts. After the first sewerage commission
was created and for a period of years commissions were beset by
the agents of local disposal plant companies in New York, who EN-
sionels to favor the adoption of local disposal. But the various
commissions appointed turned down these schemers, one and all
1t was lately seen how they managed to get the ears of municipal
officers in several towns in the sewerage district and 10 divert these
municipalities from The trunk sewer plan. They are encouraged
bv that apparent success 10 believe that they can now knock out
municipalities. That The men who are interested in this scheme
are influential in New York is shown by the appropriation of 500,
00, which was gotten through the New York Board of Aldermen to
pay their expenses. From its inception the trunk sewer enterprise
has been The football of selfish private interests. 1t was held up i'll
the first place by the East Jersey Water Company, because that
and did not want the city to establish a fltering plant for it's
intake at BeIevile. The water company did its work at Trenton.
The disposal plant people operate at Washington.

A CRISIS IN SPAIN.

NAV HlLE disorders caused by poverty or politics, and in some
WV eases both. are rife all over Europe, the situation in
Spain just now comes nearest to real revolution, and the
throne of Alfonso is the shakiest article of furniture in the whole
collection. \ force of $500 men, we'll armed and equipped, and
led by Il former army officer, marching on the gates of Valencia is
something more than riot 1t is civil war. OF course, if King
Alfonsos army can be depended upon, the revolt can be put down.
Trained soldiers can always account for ten times their number of
civilians. But there's the "if" Throughout ancient and modern
history most revolutions have been accomplished by the army going
over to the mob. This is the crux of the situation in Spain. And
then, TOO, there may be some contagious influence from the new
republic OF Portugal. Just over the line. Whether or not another
European monarch is TO become an exile may be the question of
hours. However. it is not likely that a Spanish republic would last
very long. The people OF that country have less of the factors that
make for permanent popular government than any nation in
Europe, They are divided into discordant elements that would
soon bring about a reaction, even if the young Bourbon kings rule
were not restored and propped by the bayonets of some big power
or coalition of powers.

10 the Editor of the Evening Star:
Your article in a recent issue, telling
the plans of the secretary of the treas
of entry for New Jersey was good news
to those with the welfare of this city
at heart. The scare we received when
the seeretary's plans called for the
consolidation of Newark n Perth
Ainboy, with the latter as the prlnci-
pal port, is about the best thing that
has happened to wake up he local
commercial men to the fact that they
were not doing their duty which civic
pride would dictate.
Now hat the situation has been
thoroughly explained through the
columns of tho STAR the merchants
ought to pay attention to this part OF
the cIty's interest. You have pointed
out how the shipping of foreign goods
meant for Newark to the port in New
York is a senseless cut in the govern
ment revenue from this city. The ap-
preparations granted by the depart
ments at Washington for improve
ments in Newark's waterways depends
largely on the government income from
this city. If Newarkers persist in bill
ing their goods to New York 1t
a falling of our standing at the ma
tional capital.
1t has been shown the timid mer-
chants that instead of experiencing
any Inconvenience by shipping their
goods direct to Newark they actually
save time and money. Let every New
arker bear in mind that the govern
ment has placed a port of entry at our
disposal, and it is III to us not only
to derive the personal benefits it holds
for us, but advance Newark by ship
ping every pound of foreign goods di-
rect to this city. Had this been the
practise there never would have been
any talk of Newark losing its port.
Furthermore, this city would have re-
ceived a greater amount of consldera-
ton at Washington when the appro-
p%riations were being dealt out.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The Public Service is certainly run
ming things with a high hand. Now
that we have a public utilities COM
mission. why doesn't it take some
action and see that the public gets
what it deserves. The company has
been having it's own way with regard
to transfers, and now II refuses to
let you on a car II you have a large
bundle with you. II the Public Service
Is going TO run things in that manner,

Commission to force the company 10

G All the railroads have this
facility, and the Public Service can
afford to do it as we'll as the rail-

car because they had bundles with
them. SUBURBAN.

Label Car. Going to Parks.

70 the Editor OF the evening Star:
| would like to make a suggestion to
the Public Service Corporation through
your valuable Rostrum column. We
have in our city two of the most beau-
tiful public parks In the country. While
cars run past these parks every few
minutes, there are many people in the
city who don't know which cars they
are, and for this reason they give up
the idea of visiting the parks. 1t
would be a very easy matter for the
trolley company to place signs on the
fronts of its cars telling the people
which cars pass the parks. They might
also set forth some OF the amusements
that can be enjoyed in these places.
This would be a Inc thing for the
company also. because many people
who wander around for a place to go
on Sundays and holidays would ride to
the parks. PARK LOVER.

LEGISLATIVE

m Ny New Jersey voter who gets away from The polls on registry
nv Or election day without a haunting suspicion, first, that he
has voted for somebody for whom he did not mean to vote
or thrown away his ballot altogether. and, second. that he has done
something that may land him in Jail, must have devoted an un-
common amount of study to the socalled Geran election law and
it's companion measure, the corrupt pIactises act. Last winters
legislation about elections is a nest of pitfalls for not only the
unwary, but the ordinarily careful citizen. One result of the many
intricate provisions of The new laws is inevitable. 4 great many
men will not vote at all. An argument against the voting machines
was that we ought not 10 use Il device requiring schools of instruc
ttn for voters. The machines have gone to the scrap heap. but the
