Drinking Cup Problem.

Drinking Cup Problem.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In esponse to Mr.. McCarthy's letter
printed in the STAR yesterday, would
like to say that 1 agree with him that
1t is q great hardship for one not to
be able to get a drink on a railway
train this hot weather. l am sure that
was not the purpose of h law. n
common drinking cup has for some
time been recognized as a source OF
danger to the public. 1t has been
proved beyond doubt that many germs
Turk on the sides of these common
drinking cups and are transmitted from
one person to another. But this Is no.
excuse on the part of the railroads IN
not providing a better substitute OF IN
at least providing the fountains with
water. SO that persons with their OWE
cups could get a drink.
One can secure an ordinary para
MINED cur which can be carried in
ones pocket at the rate of about hve
for one cent. If it became generally
known that no cups were TO De op-
tanned on the trains everyone would De
we'll provided with such cups. Better
still. the railroads could provide a siot
in the machine tube with lUo cups
which could be obtained at one cent
apiece, at a profit to h
The railroads In some of the Western
States have been doing that for severai
wears. There are many kinds of drink
ING c,,p ARRANGEMENTS which could be
inst a lied by the railroads to safeguard
the public.
In conclusion, / would like to say
that the Newark NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Association favored the gradual edu-
cation of the public as to the danger
of the public cup and the voluntary
adjustment of the same by railroads,
boards of education, parks, puoiic
ulaces. etc. with a substitution OF
something better in its stead. How
ever. since we nave the law 1t seems 10
me that every right-minded citizen
should support it. since it is a move
in the right direction. I believe eventu-
allv we will look upon the common
drinking cup as an archaic system
which had to be abolished as a SAM
tary measure. Very truly yours,
ERNEST D. EASTON,
Executive secretary, Newark Anti
tuberculosis Association.

INCREASED SALARIES FoR LEGISLATORS.

m PROPOSITION for an increase of the salaries of senators
I and assemblymen in New York is to be voted on by the
people in the fall. A similar proposition submitted to the
people of New Jersey in 1909 was defeated by a majority of 22677.
The adverse majority nearly equaled the total vote in favor of
the amendment. But, unfortunately for the proposition, it was
linked with several other proposed amendments, emanating from
lawyers, that were extremely unpopular, and went down to defeat
with the rest. No sensible man will say that the salaries paid to
members of the Legislature are adequate, and wellinformed men
at Trenton will declare that the policy which maintains such a rate
of compensation is vicious in its results Probably if an amend
ment could be submitted to the people free from all other propo
sitons an increase of legislative salaries would be sanctioned.

Death Beckons-- Beware Neglect
of Cdutioni in Sunday Pleasure

- EWARE the summer Sunday!
X Drownings, trolley accidents, boating fatalities and auto smash
~ IDS fill al alarming space in Monday morning papers,.
1t seems to be a peculiarly of the human mind to abandon caution when
il puts aside carr.
The accidents Of the summer Sunday are clearly due, with few excep-
tons, to reckessness and foonshness in the pursuit of pleasure.
A man, confined to exachng office work all week long, goes to the
shore on Sunday. He rcyels In his freedom. He eats a hearty dinner goes
In bathing, stays to long, Is seized with cramps and browns. And on
weekdays he was probably ar eptome OF common-sense.
Therefore, be ane and cautious in your peasure-seekingt tomorrow.

TEXAS VOTES TODAY ON PROHIBITION.

oa EXAS covers a vast area. 1t has no city of more than $4,000
population, with only eight cities of more than 10000 popu
lation. 1t is a State of magnificent distances, with scat
tered small towns and hamlets. Texas also has a large negro popu
lation. Today the State is holding an election to determine whether
a prohibition amendment to the Constitution shall be adopted. One
argument for the amendment is that which prevailed in other States
better control of the negro. And, in point of fact, if that consider
alton was lacking prohibition would find precious little favor in
Texas. The farmer as a rule doesn't care. He makes his own hard
cider, grows grapes for his wine and may even run a still. The
welltodo population will not be affected, for they can import their
liquors from other States and there will be no restriction on their
private club bars. The POI white and the negro only are to be disci
plined by prohibition if it shall be adopted.

WOMEN CHAMPIONS OF DR.. WILEY.

NAV OMENS organizations throughout the land should give
IVY their enthusiastic support to Government Pure Food Elk
pert Wiley against the Indignantly selfish and sordid in
fuences that are assailing him because of his conscientious per.
Torrance of his important duties. DR.. Wiley is the defender of the
home. AS far as he has been able he has driven out of it poisons in
food that wreck health and destroy life. He has stopped the mis-.
branding of foods and liquids by knavish manufacturing concerns.
He has to a large extent put out of business the purveyors of
adulterated drugs and of fraudulent or harmful proprietary COM
pounds. He has done much to protect childhood from the criminal
commercial greed that for profit would sacrifice children by the
wholesale. Why, indeed, should not the women of the land rise
up in wrath when informed that this champion of their homes
and children is to be made a victim of a conspiracy between food
and drug fakirs and their official tools in Office at Washington.

Don't BE in a Hurry.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
l wish to call the attention Of cit-
zens riding on the open cars to the
danger hat confronts them. This is
done after l witnessed a woman and
child almost thrown to the ground
while attempting to get on the car
while 1t was In motion last night. The
woman had a child in her arms and the
car had hardly come to a standstill
when she got hold of the iron rail. The
car was still moving and she was pulled
along for a distance of ten feet. For
tunately, she was able to run. She was
given a good scare, but we wonder
what would have been the result II she
had slipped on the cobblestones.
Now, in getting on a car always wait
until 1t comes to a complete standstill.
Do not be in a hurry. 1t is always bet
ter to wait for another car than have
to lay at home for weeks, as a result
of injuries sustained while being in p
hurry. Carefully

WITH WHOM WAS THE CIVIC SPIRIT?

Pts HE theory of the discounted leaders of the Walshlaw move.
merit in Jersey City, to wit, that all the citizens who were
away on their summer vacations and all who went fishing
on election day were Walsh law supporters, and that if they had
gone to the polls the Walsh law would have been adopted, doesn't
seem quite reasonable. 1t is possible that a few of the absentees
from the polls would have voted against the proposition. But
admitting the theory, are we not to wonder at the lack of interest,
not to say zeal. of citizens who want a revolutionary change of
government and when they are asked to vote for it take themselves
off to the summer resorts or go fishing? And is it also not a
tribute to the opponents of the Walsh law that they were all on
hand at the polls election day, ready to vote? With whom was
the civic spirit, indeed?

THE FARMER MANY BILLIONS RICHER.

cTn HAT farm land values in the United States have more than
doubled in the last ten years is reported by the census
bureau, the percentage of increase being lis per cent. III
1900 al. the farm lands were worth $13,O51 O33, 900. Their present
value is $2S,S59 $4,000. At the same time the number of farms
has increased II per cent, from 5,737,372 to 6y34O12O. The average
value per acre is now $3.50, against $3.50 ten years ago, an in
crease of 1B per cent. This is a marvellous exhibit, and without
compare by any other nation. Twenty years ago the farms of the
West were plastered with mortgages, at very high interest rates.
This mortgage Indebtedness has been paid off and farmers have
all the modern luxuries in their homes and are the best customers
of the automobile manufacturers.

Let the Work Begin.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
At last the Board of Works has
reached a decision in regards to the
paving of Market street. Much praise
for the board that has taken so long
to finally agree upon a pavement that
they have blocked against from the
beginning of the controversy! It's toe
bad that the board did no wait until
the winter to reach a decision and n
the work could have been put off until
next year.
The Market Street Business Mems
Association for the past year was for
either bitulithic or wood block pave
ment, but the board was against both
and wanted granite blocks. Now II
appears hat all hands are satisfied
with the bitulithic. Let us hope h a
as long as a pavement has now beer
agreed upon that the work Will be
commenced Immediately and pushed to
completion. PRACTICAL.

A TRAGEDY OF THE TROLLEY.

MA My the other day a locomotive engineer on the New York,
w New Haven and Hartford railroad disobeyed the rules and
d~isregarded signals, and the result was the wreck of his
train at Bridgeport and the killing and manning of many people.
Yesterday an employee of the North Jersey Rapid Transit Com
pany tried to steal a switch near Ridgewood with his car, and the
result was a collision, fatal to four passengers, while many others
were injured. The accident, if it may be so called, was inexcusable,
and the man who caused it is under a heavy load of criminal re-
sponsibihty.

RECIPROCITY BATTLE WON

Pts ODAY ends the long reciprocity battle, the bill being due to
pass the Senate by a twotoone majority. The Canadian
National Legislature will now take up the question and
thresh it out from the Canadian point of view. There is as bitter
opposition in Canada to the pact as has been exhibited in this
country, but the government which negotiated it will leave no
means unturned to pass it, and there seems no doubt that in the
end the agreement will be sanctioned and go into effect.
