1885,

ooS AXIOM and Norman and Dane are we, but ali are Danes in
our welcome of thee" Thus sang Poet Laureate Tenny-
son when the present queen mother came from Denmark
to England to become Princess of Wales. Democrat and Republican
and insurgents re we, but all are Americans today in hailing the
mistress of the White House, who, with her husband, the first ci1-
zen of the land, celebrates the twentyffth anniversary of the day
when William FL. Taft and Helen L. Heron were welded in Gin
cinnati. When the life at the executive mansion is that of the typi
cal American family it makes a strong appeal to the homeloying
instinct that is one of the strongest elements of our cOuntrys we'll
being. And so it is fitting that gifts of silver and words of gold
should pour into Washington from the length and breadth of our
land. President Taft said to his classmates of Yale, '76, at a din
ner in Washington the night of his inauguration: Boys, don't
want you to think of that house over there as the White House. l
want you to think of it as my house." Just for today and tonight
the big mansion where the republic houses its chief is not the White
House. 1t is Just Mr.. and Mrs. Tafts house, and their chidrens
and Aunt Delia's. SO long life and a golden wedding to the pair Of
American home folks who this evening, amidst such surroundings
and in the eyes of the world, will renew the troth that a quarter
century ago they plighted in a modest Ohio dwelling "n the pres
ence Of the relatives of both and a very few intimate friends"

Tragedy Was UnavoIded.

Y was OnaNOiuSus
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
1t is doubtful if the yacht Vayu
tragedy, in which FIVE residents of Es-
sex county lost their lives by drowning.
should be pointed out as a warning
to yachting parties. AS usual, follow
ing boat accidents, a large number Of
persons shake their heads sagaciously
and talk of carelessness. IN N.Y. opinion
the best yachtsman in the world could
not have escaped under the conditions
that obtained last Saturday. The
storm broke without an i~nstant's warn
ing in pitch-black darkness and the
craft probably went down before the
occupants of the boa fairly realized
that there was a storm. 1t Is certain
that Mr.. Lemuel E. Smith, the artist,
who owned the boat, was well versed
in ~seamanship, as he shipped as a sea-
man several years ago on a four
master for Japan and was accustomed
to r~oughing it on the water in all
kinds of weather. 1t is only fair to as
sumo, therefore, that the tragedy was
unavoidable. 1. BIS.

NEW YORK'S TRANSIT PROBLEM.

VA TIL the adoption, now a foregone conclusion, by the New
WV York City Board of Estimate of the plan for dividing
the new subway lines between the marlborough and the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit companies, the situation will be put
squarely up to those two interests. What they will do with it is
another proposition. The marlborough does not like the idea of
the Brooklyn company coming into Manhattan under Broadway,
and the former has what may prove TO be an unconquerable preju-
dice against carrying people from Fiftyninth street, Manhattan,
to Coney Island for a nickel. But the two corporations will have
just one week to think it over. If they do not come to the city's
terms within that time the municipality will take up the advis-
ability of going ahead with the triborough route.

TRENTON'S INDUSTRIES IN
CITY HALL DECORATION.

TRENTON, June 19.-Under unusual
and interesting circumstances, Mr..
Everett Shinn has nearly completed
his large decoration for the municipal
building here, which will represent the
artisans of the city which have made
1t famous, its workers in steel n
iron and glass. Numerous sketches
were made at various factories in
Trenton, and many of the brawny men
stripped to the waist who are repre-
sented are portrayed just as they are.
The result is n of the most realistic
paintings of the kind which has been
seen for many a day. The figures are
Ife-size, and SO effectively presented
are the surroundings that the illusion
is given thai the spectators are look
ing into the mysteries of forge and
hearth.
The canvas is seventeen e in
height and will take up an entire side
of the room In which the aldermen are
to meet. The artisans who have been
acting as models represent the highest
types of physical development. One OF
the giants is refuting a popular theory,
for he is shown nonchalantly puffing a
cigarette while performing heavy tasks.
The decoration. which is an apothe-
osis of labor, has been much admired
by c~itize:.a of Trenton who have seen
it, for it is a departure from the classic
or the mixture of classic and modern
figures which are SO often employed in
mural decorations.

OUR CREDIT LEADS THE WORLD.

the first time since the Civil War the United States gov
II eminent has made a bond issue lacking the artificial value of
the national bank circulation privilege. An oversubscription
at least thrice over to the new 3 per cent. Panama loan of $5O,OOO,OOO
at prices averaging somewhat over 102.50 and running for small lots
as high as 1O5 indicates that our national credit is now the highest
in the world. Many fnanciers had predicted that the loan would
command very little above par, inasmuch as English, French and
German securities of like class are selling at a discount. This was
the first actual test of our governments borrowing power, and the
result is not only a matter of sentimental pride, but should do much
to stifen the backbone of general business confidence.

Ball Playing on Beaches.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
l desire to call attention to In evil
that is growing more serious at the
bathing beaches each season. That IS
the practise boys and even grown
persons have of throwing baseballs
from n to another, no matter how
crowded the beach may be with women
and children.
Twice last week the wife of the
writer was compelled to take a 6-year-
old child from Brighton Beach for fear
of injury from a swiftly-thrown base
ball.
Complaints by many women to police
officers and lifeguards brought only
the answer that the beach is public
property and people can do what they
please" JOHN M. LANDON.

cTa RENTON should poll a large vote in the special election tomor-
ii row on commission government, for no means has been left
untried by the parhsans of the Walsh law to create a senti-
ment favorable to the bill and to bring out the vote, and they had
the campaign field to themselves until three days ago, when an
active counter campaign was begun. The fight has developed much
bitterness, a fact to be deplored. If special elections in municipal.
ties have such a tendency the less we shall have of them the better.
In the campaign in Trenton citizens adverse to the adoption of the
Walsh law have been held up as enemies of good government and
allies of the interests and the saloons. That style of warfare is SO
disreputable that the motives of those who practise it may well be
questioned. A good cause does not need vituperative abuse of its
nnnnnpntS.

STATE AND CITY BUDGETS.

cTA HE Trenton Times remarks that Newark's annual budget for
next year is S540S, 1924, and adds: Somehow, the States
appropriations do not appear extravagant when compared
with the cost of governing a city of 100000 inhabitants" Nor should
they. The New York State budget does not compare with the New
York city budget. A city has multifarious highly expensive details
to look after that the State is not burdened with. A large city is a
State in itself, and it's needs are imperative and exacting. Newarks
annual budget is about equal TO that of the State.

THE CRUSADE AGAINST FLIES.

IN, CITY without flies is a city with the best guarantee of pub
T lie health. Nor is such a thing unattainable. Hubbard
CITY, in Texas, has no flies. The municipality began and
carried out a campaign against the fly and won out. The weapon
was cleanliness. The streets are swept twice a week, and no manure,
filth, garbage or scraps are allowed to remain within the city where
flies can reach them. With nothing to breed in and nothing toIeed
upon the flies have disappeared. Other towns and even large cities
may do what Hubbard City has done, and with as good results.

SOME AN7I-TRUNK SEWER LYING.

cTH HE New York Times keeps up it's senseless falsehood that New
Jersey intends to discharge 360, 600 gallons of crude sew
age daily into New York harbor. As if newspaper misrepre-
sentation could have any possible effect upon the determination of
the right of the Passaic valley municipalities to build a sewer to the
New Jersey waters of the bay to discharge only the effuent. And
yet it may be imposed on some New York aldermen who don't know
any better.

cTa he attempted location of a sewage plant for Caldwell borough
on Il site judiciously selected in West Caldwell shows again
the propensity of municipalities to go from home to place
their nuisances. There are dairy interests in West Caldwell close
to the selected site, and the neighborhood is valuable for residential
purposes. The man who wanted his boil to be located on another
mans neck is Il counterpart of the municipality that picks out a
nice spot in some other municipality for the disposal of its sewage.

they would close their places early on

Say. Ice Fund L. Genuine Charity.

Says Ice Fund Is Genuin Charity.
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
While it is a gratifying fact that
the STARS Free Ice and Outing Fund
is hourishing and that its figures are
higher than they were at this time last
year, it must be remembered that the
city has grown in size since 1910 and
that It's needs have grown in proper
ton.
For this reason those who are apt to
make comparisons should remember
this fact and keep right on subscribe
ing. to what I consider the genuine
charity of the year. Such a fund can
never be too large, and one who knows
how it has helped the unfortunate In
years gone by knows that very cent
will be well spent. 1t is one of those
charities that does not in the least de-
grade or tend to injure society at large.
In other words, it is a true charity.
