WAT COULD BE DONE WITH STATE ELsHERLE!
TT he city of Cleveland has seized an opportunity to make
Il franchise privilege put something directly into the poke

0Te HE city Of Cleveland has seized an opportunity to make a
Il franchise privilege put something directly into the pockets
OF Its citizens. A fishing concern using city docks and sheds
guarantees in return for the privilege a maximum price of five cents
q pound for lake fish. Thus a sound municipal principle is com
bned with reduction of the cost of food. The New Jersey coast is
one OF the best fishing grounds on the Atlantic coast. What does
the State do with this immensely valuable natural asset? The
fishing privileges are gratuitously given to a foreign fish combina-
non to make a monopoly on our coast; the fish is taken to New
York for distribution by a trust, and the Jersey retail dealer in
fish is compelled to buy New Jersey fish from this trust in New
York and sell to consumers at exorbitant prices fixed by the trust.
The State gets nothing for its privileges, not even credit for the
annual product; the fish trust gets bloated Profits and The New
Jersey family pays double prices for the fish il buys. The CIeye-
land plan would be entirely practicable as state policy. New
Jersey controls all the fishing rights on the coast. The pound
net owners are squatters. Fishing privileges could be given only
on condition that the State fix the prices of fish: that all fish must
be landed and sold to all buyers, SO as to eliminate the New York
niddleman, and then an attempt at monopoly would involve for
TEXTURE of fishing privileges and criminal prosecution.

Calls wilson's style slnm-Bang.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
While the friends Of Governor VIII
son, who pays so little attention to
State duties to further his political am
billions, point to him as the one great
"reformer'' of the time. THE man Who
does things they might try to hide,
if possible, some of the things he does
not do. For instance, the II in
which he vetoed a number of important
measures which hi pledged in his cam
paign to support. The vetoes were OBJ
jectionable enough, but the apparent
"slam-bang' style in which it was
done is particularly d~iscrediting.
Vetoes without proper cause We're
never handed to the Legislature before
in the annals of New Jersey lawmak-
Ing. More than that, a veto sent in
unsigned by the Governor has never
before been heard of. These mistakes
and fragrant neglect of duty were per-
petrated to allow DR. Wilson time to
try to stem the tide against him in
Illinois and other places. We have
seen how unsuccessful he was in tha+
state and it will be the same story in
other places. Let a man show himself
capable of doing his duty before ask
ing for a responsible position.

The LATEST man in the village was

Before him, the awe-stricken specta-

portly vicar.
"What-what is the natter" Ngasped
the reverend gentleman, in astonish-
ment, as his assailant picked himself
and his hat out Of the mud.
Cant stop. sir" came the hurried
reply. i've just heard of some work"
And have you got the job?" asked
the vicar, interestedly.
Don't know. sir; just goin' to see"
What is it?" asked the clergyman,
in amazement, for this particular
"black sheep had never been known
to work before.

And. like a streak of lightning. he
was off again.
Everything all right, sir?" asked the
waiter.
The diner nodded, but still the waiter
lowered near.
Steak cooked to suit you, sir?" he
asked again, presently.
Again the diner nodded.
Potatoes the way you like EN-. sir?"
Yes"
Another period of silence.
Il hope the service is satisfactory,
sir"
Are you asking for a tlp?' demand
ed the diner.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION OUTLOOK.

TT HERE being virtually no contest in the Democratic primaries
il in Pennsylvania for the presidential delegates. the attention
of the country was focused on the Republican primaries
the results of which duplicate those of the Illinois primaries. In
illinois there was a Democratic contest, the outcome of which was
an overwhelming victory for Speaker Clark and the final collapse
of the Wilson boom. 1t was unmportant after the Illinois pi
manes how the uncontested election in Pennsylvania would 90.
That was conceded to Wilson in every calculation. All the pros
poets now favor Clark, but the strength of Harmon and Under
wood have not yet been developed. Considering the uncertainties
and changes that have characterized ante convention campaigns
in the past and the fact that it will take a twothirds vote at
Baltimore to nominate, one would be rash to name the convention
candidate. 1t might be Clark or Harmon or Underwood or a
dark horse. 1t cannot be Wilson. who will proabblv be aban
doned on the second ballot.

treat WASTE OF WATER AT n FAUCET

0EEW people have any idea of the immense waste Of water in
the households Of Americans, the most wastefnl people on
earth. They need to read such figures as are given by
the water department of Philadelphia, where, in 20228 houses in
spected, there were found 2842 leaky faucets, each representing
a daily loss estimated at 100 gallons. This condition is typical of
most American cities, and the experience of all is that The meter

ABOUT MEM
<6QTWoM

Government employees, especially
those who have responsible positions.
are the most loyal set of workers In
the country. and there is no exception
to the rule in the local Internal rev.
enue office. This was fully demon
strated by the prank of a practical
joker recently, who would do well to
keep a safe distance from Edwin c.
Burrows. a clerk in the office.
At midnight one night Mr.. Burrows
received a telephone message. suppos-
eddy from the police of the First pre-
cinct, to go to the station house at
one and take charge of two govern
ment prisoners there. Mr.. Burrows
was told the men had been caught
making o-leomargarine without a
license and they could not be held
unless an Internal revenue officer made
a complaint against them at once.
Loyal to the core, the government
man dressed hurriedly and walked
through the rain to the station house.
Believing the sergeant in charge was
acquainted with the whole situation,
Mr.. Burrows hastily explained who
he was and inquired for particulars.
The sergeant thought the internal rev.
enue mar was demented n at first
began to humor HIM. This was re-
sented by Mr.. Burrows and a complete
misunderstanding resulted between the
man and the police officer.
Finally. when the patience of each
man had been nearly exhausted, 1t
daw on them that Mr.. Burrows
might have been the victim of a prac-
teal joker. Both men became friends
once more with the avowed intention
of running down the guilty lie.
As yet they have not been success
full, but Mr.. Burrows is still hot on
the trail.

New York, March 5.-TO clear up

presidential nomination, Colonel Roose-
Welt today made public q letter which

that he would not go on record az be-
