NO COMMISSION FOR BAYONNE.

cN HE election in Bayonne on the question of establishing a com
mission form of government in that city was almost a drawn
fight, the opposition winning by a scant majority Of three
votes. Even if the proposition had prevailed by a small majority
the result wouId have been inconclusive of the desire of the Bayonne
community for the proposed change of government, and it would
still have falsifed the predictions of its advocates who looked for
an emphatic expression of the public sentiment in their favor. Prior
tn the election the affirmative had the whole floor in the argument
on the proposition and monopolized the local newspaper support
Outside Influences were also called in to sway public sentiment
Party lines were obHterated, so that Republicans, Democrats and
independents alike were free to vote as they pleased. If there had
existed in Bayonne the alconsuming desirefo commission govern
ment that there was represented to be by the Jersey journal the prop
osihon would have been carried yesterday by default 1t would have
swept the city. Officials hostile to the proposition would have cut
no figure in the elections. They would have been impotent. 1t
was shown in Bayonne yesterday that the mind of the people of
New Jersey has not yet been made up for the drastic changes con.
templated in the commission act passed by the last Legislature
and that the elections to be held hereafter will be uncertain in their
results. #5.~#

Praise for Excursions.

IEdHN9 W
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
As the warm weather approaches and
your excursions for the poSr will soon
start, | wish to say a word in praise
concerning them. l am a mother 3f
three children and last year was your
guest on several occasions. If possible
| shall make application to be again
one of the merry party that has the
privilege of resting on your charity.
During the summer months l cannot
get as much work to keep my family
together as in the winter, when most
of the residents are at home, and there
fore l am unable to give my little chill
dren excursions. You have made It
possible for me, and l know that the
kind people who contribute will be
amply rewarded for their charity. On
one of the trips to Coney Island my
ounge child, who is one year old,
became sick, and the nurses and physi-
clans aboard prescribed for 1t. They
gave the child a thorough examination
and found that it had been ailing for
several weeks without my knowledge.
They told me what to do for it, and
today the baby is strong and healthy
Had it not beer for the trip there is no
telling how sick the child might have
become. Wishing you great success
for the coming season, | am

Menace 70 Public Health.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Will you kindly publish this letter in
the Evening STAR so that it may be
brought to the attention of the Board
of Health authorities? l wish they
would visit the streets in the southern
section of the city and see the way
the place is neglected by the scaven-
gers. For more than a week the gar
bage at my house has not been col
lected, although it has remained in a
conspicuous place and could not pos
sibly have been overlooked.
In this weather it is really a menace
to public health to leave garbage
around for that length of time. An
other thing, the mosquitoes never con-
gregated about my house as they have
this season. 1t is the garbage that
attracts them.
Now that the Board of Health Off
GERS are allowed to ride free on street
cars perhaps they will get around more
often. Lots of people in our neigh
borhood have the same kick to make,
and many of them declare they have
written to the Board of Health about
it. Seeing that no action was taken
| thought that a public protest of this
kind would bring the required remedy.
Thanking you and wishing You all the
prosperity you deserve.

SENATE RECIPROCITY DEBATE BEGINS.

m LONG debate that promises to extend into August has now
IN begun in the Senate on the reciprocity bib and for more.
than IA month the country will be treated to a wearisome
talk, while the Congressional Record will be loaded up with cam.
Daign literature, including scores of undelvered speeches and acres
of unread statistics. The Senate has just gotten through with the
senatorial amendment resolution in a way to dishearten and disgust
The public, and the outcome of the reciprocity debate is not unlikely
to be of the same character. To queer the amendment resolution
the Brstow amendment was devised and passed. To queer" the
reciprocity resolution the Root amendment is ready. The methods
Of the senatorial opponents of popular measures are now well under
stood. What the reactonaries and stand patters cannot or dare not
kill directly they kill by indirection. President Taft lent no aid to
the unamended amendment resolution and he has never been sin.
cerely in favor of il, His administration would have gained some
needed credit and prestige if he had given the resolution his sup
port. Mr.. Taft advocates the reciprocity pact and has used every
effort to get the Senate to favor il, but the President has been we'll
sized up in the Senate and it would not be strange to see him go
over to tho Root amendment at the critical moment and even make
the claim that the bill as amended by it is the best ever.

TIE MA TONS FLAG.

eT1 ODAY there is in evidence on all sides the great emblem
of the American republic, adopted one hundred and thirty
four years ago. The history of that flag is a glorious one on
land and sea. 1t has conquered in war and in peace. 1t has carried
civilization from the Atlantic TO the Pacific and peopled the country
with nearly a hundred millions of population. 1t has welcomed mil
tons of the oppressed of Europe to these shores. For nigh on to a
century and a half it has represented human liberty and popular
government. For four years it was borne through the great Civil
War amid the carnage of battle to the final triumph at Appomattox.
Thirteen, years ago it drove Spain out of the Western hemisphere
and out of the Philippines and ended her ages of long misrule and
crnelties. Today the Stars and Stripes is the symbol of peace
and good will for the world-but the peace and good will Pf the
strong man who will submit TO no injustice or wanton injury For
that flag floats over a navyof glorious traditions that is ever pre-.
pared to defend the rights and dignity of the republic when they
shall be assailed.

Harrison, June -.
who Shall clear up storm Litter,

who Shall Clear Up storm Lltters
To the Editor Of the Evening Star;
Is it up to" a property-owner or to
some city department to clear away
the wreckage of the storms that we
have had recently? I refer particular
ly to the branches of trees that still
litter some of our streets.
Another thing I would like to know
is whether or not the Shade Tree Com
mission, or some other commission, is
in duty bound to cut down limbs and
branches of trees that have been partly
twisted off by the storm. There are
many of these throughout the city, to
the imminent danger of people COM
PEELED to walk or drive beneath them
1t certainly cannot be expected of the
owner of the tree o. trees to saw the
limbs off himself or have them sawed
off at his expense when such tree or
trees are on the public highway.

Motorist. pidn,t Run Away.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Your evening edition of June .
contains an item in the "Rostrum' col
umn, headed TOO Many Joy Rides"
and signed Gar owner"
1t is very evident that Car owner
knows very little about the accident
il which two Newark men in an auto
mobile were injured through collision
with another car, the occupants of
which l am acquainted with. I hap
pened upon the scene a few minutes
after. the accident occurred, and as
sisted a physician who was riding with
me to bandage the injured men and
make them as comfortable as possible
until the arrival of the ambulance.
Now, it is not my desire to give
any views as to who was the cause
of the accident, but l do know that
Car owner does a great injustice to
the party in the touring car when he
accuses them of running away after
the collision, leaving two injured men
lying in the road, and he must have a
very elastic Imagination to assume that
they were afraid andA therefore ran
away. for it is within my positive
knowledge thai they did not run away
hal they did not try to conceal their
identity, that the car they were driving
was their W personal property, and
that they stayed right on the scene
until the injured men were removed to
the hospital. 1t therefore seems to me
thai 1t would be a very good idea if
some of the people who avail them
selves of the privilege of our valuable
columns would first gather a few facts
pertaining to the subject in question.

cN RENTON will vote next Tuesday on the commission govern
ment question and at a massmeeting tonight the arguments
that failed to convince a majority of the voters in Bayonne
will be rehearsed for the benefit of the Trenton voter. Trenton is
normally a Republican city, although it went, Democratic on gov
ernor in the last two gubernatoral elections. Bayonne is Demo
cratic. The Republican organization leaders in Trenton are I'M
friendly to commission government, which also is not favored by
organization Democrats generally. The election in Trenton will
have even more interest than that of Bayonne, Trenton being the
capital city and its electorate typical of most of the voting com
munites in the State.

eN HE ready acceptance by the Public Service Corporation of
both the decision by the Supreme Court and the interpreted

no place except. perhaps the cyclone cellar that insures absolute
safety in electrical storms, and one cannot carry a cyclone cellar
