PUT NOT YOUR TRUST IN PRINCES.

O. ENATOR OSBORNE does not get the help of Governor VII
son in his campaign for reelection, the governor declining
an invitation to include Essex county in his campaign tour
of the State. The close personal relations of the governor and
senator prior to and during the session of the Legislature were we'll
known. Senator Osborne was a faithful instrument of the execu.
tive wishes, and his fidelity to the personal fortunes of the new
governor exceeded that of all others. He was a participant in all
the private conferences at the State House in which the legislation
of the session was prepared, and he fathered several bills that have
proved unpopular, in compliance with the executive will. He was
among the foremost in promoting the Geran law, and for the same
reason. Frankly, Senator Osborne has been handicapped in his
campaign in Essex by the revelations in the bankruptcy scandal.
and, naturally, he looked for the puissant aid of the governonto sup.
plement that which he received from the party organization in
Essex. If it is not Forthcoming, if, indeed, the refusal to appear
in his behalf in Essex is construed to mean that he has been aban.
doned, may not the Essex senator take to heart the Shakespearian
advice "Put not vour trust in princes"

Mosquito Intelligence.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
One of your correspondents last sum-

of the STAR to the cunning of the
mosquitoes in his neighborhood. He
said that they would perch upon the
back of his black cat, wait until the
screen door was opened to let in the
cat and so get in themselves.
I would call his attention to the fact
that last night as I was taking down
the porch screens dozens of husky
mosquitoes chung to them and sc
worked their way into the warm

THE QUESTION OF CANAL TOLLS.

IT n advising the United States to make the Panama Canal prac-
ticaly free to the shipping of the world, charging a toll only
enough to pay bare expenses, Sir Owen Philips, one of Eng
lands greatest steamship magnates, condemns his own country for
making Il %$5000O00 profit annually, chiefly out of the pockets of
British shipowners, on her $20000000 investment in one third of
the Suez canal, which is under her control. Sir Owen thinks that
the Suez policy belongs to the Dark Ages, when people had to pay
for walking on a road; in these days the nations spend millions on
free bridges and highways. He predicts that if Panama sets the
example of low rates, on cargo only, Suez will follow it within ten
years. Possibly with a better grace he might have suggested that
England be the exemplar and America the pupil. Englands invest
ment is only $20,000000. Ours will be about $780, 900 900. But Sir
Owens prediction that she will follow our lead is, after AL, a com
Dliment TO us.

Nay Help Newarkers.

May Help Newarkers.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The recent rain, although it was no
altogether welcome by those who are
following the worlds championship
games. may be a big help to the resi-
dents of Newark. 1t certainly showed
the condition of the crosswalks at the
Four Corners. the second busiest spot
in the world. One had to wade to cross
over, especially on the east sid OF
Market street. where the water was
six inches deep. l mean that 1t will be
a help because I saw W prominent
members of the Board of Works stand
ing on the corner waiting for a chance
to cross, and overheard the following
remark: Look at what we must wade
through, Jake. Gee, I'll raise a kick
about these conditions at our next
meeting" They then moved on, u II
the Board of Works gets busy we Will
soon have a better crossing, n when
we do you may thank the rain for 1t.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The action of the county judges in
ordering that constables and other
court attaches be uniformed is a good
one and one that should have been
taken long 70. At the present time a
person not familiar with the Court
House has a hard time finding out just
where he wants to go owing to the

Think Pedestrian. Have No Rights

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In spite of the recent vigorous charge
of Chief Justice Gummere, in which
he laid down the law covering reckless
autoists, so-called Academy on the
public highways continue with alarm
ing regularity.
One great trouble is that these driv-
ers seem to consider that pedestrians
have no right to the streets, and they
fail to check the speed of their ma
chimes at the crossings. II other
words, the centre of The city is the
same to them as the open country.

Although Mr.. Carnegie insisted that
his visit was just to see old friends,
l. Is understood that the real object
was to make sure that President Taft
does not attend the Peace Dinner TO
be given by J. Pierpont Morgan, Au-
gust Belmont and others in New York
next month. With great earnestness
Mr. Carnegie said:
ANY body who would try to get the
President to New York at this time
'ught to be ashamed of himself. He
,ught to be let alone at least during
he coming year.
After seeing the President the
Laird of Skibo was in rare good
