HIS SONG.

A poet wandered the city street With tattered garments and aching
 feet; Want and hunger had dimmed his
 eye And the children jeered him as he
 passed by. But one of the children sang, at play, A song his mother had sung that day; The poet listened with cheeks af1ame, For the song was his own--and this
 was fame! But his heart was frightened; the song
 of the boy Had thrilled the strings with strange
 sweet joy: Though I may lie with the nameless
 dead, The songs I have written will live" he
 Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

eTA HE East Jersey Water Company employs able lawyers and
gets competent legal advice. The company has known right
along that it has no legal right to take water from the Pas
sale at Little Falls and sell it. When the State began suit with
the view of ousting the East Jersey at Little Falls the company had
ample time to make arrangements to meet the State in the courts
and had clever attorneys to do the work. The company, therefore,
is not a bit surprised by the vicechancellors decision denying that
it has any right either to continue to pump water at Little Falls or
TO take water rights by condemnation. 1t was fully prepared for
that decision. But so well has the company Unanswered that the
litigation threatens to be interminable, and that serves the com
panys purpose. Litigation serves to tie the hands of the State
while the company is operating elsewhere. The real battle is at
the Kill Won Kul. If the East Jersey Water Company can succeed
in getting its pipes extended to Staten Island anything that the
New Jersey Court of Chancery may say or do will be of little con
sequence. East jerseys principal object will have been gained.
Interstate commerce will have become established and the State
courts will have lost their jurisdiction. The New York capitalists
who composed the New Jersey Securities Company will then have
at their command MILLIONS of capital for the exploitation of New
Jerseys watersheds and the dream of State conservation will be
rudely dspeled.

.s30O 00O FOP A WORKING GnPLs' HOME.

DTH HERE is little doubt that if the campaign in behalf of a home
for working girls in Newark had been waged for one month
the fund accumulated would have reached half a million,
if that amount had been desired. AS it is the total of the contrihu-
tions exceeds by more than $4,000 the limit fixed for the fund, q
splendid evidence of the generous philanthropy of the people Of
Newark. The Young Womens Christian Association had for sew
eral years sought the financial means to establish a working girls
home on q large scale, but contributions were slow and the bulk
Of the money received by the association came in a single legacy.
Appeals were made and met with Indifferent response. But it has
been proved in the sequel that the good women of the association
did not go about It right. The money was there for them if they
had known what they know now, how to reach out and secure 1T
The STAR congratulates the association upon the fairly over
whelming success of it's fund, but the heartiest congratulations are
due to the working girl who is going to move out of her closet room
and away from uncongenial environments and into a boarding
house with all the comforts Of Il home and all its associations and
social advantages.

corporations. 1t Is very evident that
the government Is not getting the
proper tax-rate from the large corpo-
rations.
A building and loan association is a
mutual benefit concern. Every mem
Der gets his per cent OF the net earn
ings of the concern and to induce peo-
pie to get into these organizations the
officers have to make them profitable
investments. Land deals. money loans
and other business with reputable citi-
zens are made TO Increase the income Of
the association. This the federal gov
eminent terms as equivalent to the
business Of a corporation.
BY all means properly assess the
building and loan associations which
go beyond the mutual benefit plan. But
the small fry will always be closely
watched by the vigilant commissioners.
1t Is not just, and as a law-abiding
citizen I ask that the Evening STAR
publish this letter and put 1t up to the

greatest exhibit of the kind that has yet been made in this
State, rivaling the recent exhibit in Madison Square Garden. The
entire floor space of the armory, exceeding twenty thousand square
feet, will be occupied by automobiles and motor cars, with their
fixtures and appliances, and the vast auditorium will be brilliant
with light and color and full of animation on the opening night,
and be replete with interest throughout the ensuing week. These
annual exhibitions give to The public some idea of the yastness of
the automobile industry. its great Importance in the economics of
the nation and the large part the motorcar plays in the affairs of
life. And. comparatively speaking, it was only the other day that
the naotorcar was introduced.

SATURDAY EVENING. IS, 1911.
NEW JERSEYS NEW CRAFTSMANSHIP

oa HERE is some criticism in quarters friendly to New Jerseys
Governor of the comment by the Governors United States
senatorelect upon reciprocity with Canada. The remark
was: 81 am glad to see my Republican friends swallow at one gulp
the Democratic doctrine of free trade under the guse Of reci-
procity" A statesmanlike utterance truly. The Democratic party
is not a party of free trade. The party merely contains a free.
trade element, to which the senatorelect from New Jersey con.
fessedly belongs. But the policy of reciprocity is Republican in
its origin. 1t was earnestly advocated by the late President Nc.
Kinley, a foremost representative of tariff protection, and the reel
procity bill in Congress owes it's paternity to the Taft administrcr
ton. But what a remark to make.

TRICKERY IN NATIONAL LEGISLATION

TO REPRESENTATIVE BENNETT, of New York, gave an ex-
i'm hibition of the shyster in Legislation when he introduced his
bill in the House looking to the annexation of Canada. He
knew that such a bill. while regarded in this country as "hot air.
would serve to misrepresent the motives of the United States gov
eminent, make the reciprocity appear to be a political trick upon
Canada and arouse prejudice in Canada and England. Bennett has
been opposed to reciprocity and he was not above defeating it by
resorting to such a device. But why should a man who does such
IN underhand act retain any personal credit in a legislative body?

A MAGAZINE EDUCATIONAL" FUND.

eTa HE big magazine publishers are subscribing large amounts
to a fund to be>used in fighting the bill introduced in Con
gress which takes away their immense postal subsidy. 1t is
explained that this money is not to be disbursed for lobby purposes,
but will be spent In advertising. The object seems plain enough.
Advertising matter will be sent to newspapers that can be in.
duenced by this consideration either to oppose the bill in Congress
or forbear supporting it. This is to be called a Campaign of
education We cannot see that the use of money for such a pur
pose is any better morally than the use of money in lobbying at
Washington.

and some of its stockholders the COM
p~lainants?
These Kicking" stockholders asked
the court to compel the company to dis
tribute a surplus OF $4,000, 600 among
them instead of dividing it among the
policy holders, as President John r.
Dryden and other influential officers
had planned to do. 1t is nearly a year
now. l think it will be in April that
this long and costly suit was tried. J
understand that it was duly argued
within a reasonable length Of time, and
1t must be in some sort OF a shape to
be heard about again. l don't remem-
Der having read that it has been de-
cided. AS I understand 1t there will be
an appeal to the upper ourts no mat
ter which way the decision goes. In
the nature of the suit l should think
that hundreds of thousands OF people
would be interested to know where it
stands. POL1CY-HOL1DER.
