Advocates Underground Wires.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Another good illustration of why the
network of highly-charged trolley
wires which spread over Market and
Broad streets should be placed under
ground was given recently. 1t hap
pened one Of these deadly wires
snapped I n Market street, not far from
the -Four Corners" and narrowly
missed many persons.
II could not have happened had moi
the wires been exposed to the freezing
temperature. It appears that the troll
ley company would find 1t profitable
also to bury the wires. There is alto
gether too much, traffic at this point to
take such risks, and the company Is
liable to have damage. suits on its
hands, for at any time these wires may
break.
The Board of Works and trolley Of
fcials should confer on this proposition
and settle the matter as early as pos
sible. Action should not be delayed

HARMON STATES HIS PLATFORM.

OvERNOR HARMON, of Ohio, is a worker rather than a
NIL talker. He has accomplished wonderful results for good
government in his State by assiduously sticking to his job
refusing to abandon it or postpone duty for a days absence for
campaigning purposes. The Ohio Governor can well afford to point
with some pride to the great reforms he has accomplished in his
State, as he did in his Iroquois Club address In Chicago yesterday.
Incidentally, he presented the principal points of his platform for
his possible candidacy for President-economy of administration,
tariff reform and trust regulation. The Republican party promised
all three in 1908 and violated every promise. What has been done
in Ohio can be done in the national government by a man who as
resolutely sets his shoulder to the wheel.

AGAIN A HUDSON RIVER BRIDGE.

I'D IGHT after Calvin Tomkins has been telling us that a bridge
LIN across the Hudson would be archaic and that the thing to do
is to put a big tunnel under the Hudson instead, comes for
ward the Hudson river bridge commissioners with a request to the
Legislature For $4,000 to pay the cost Of sinking caissons to find
. bottom tor a bridge to rest upon. But Mr.. Tomkins's tunnel
wouh, nevertheless, not serve all the purposes of a bridge. 1t
would not have a promenade or driveway and the trolley car would
have NO show in 1t. The tunnel would be for general railroad pur-
poses. A bridge, as a Hudson river bridge would be built, would
he for architectural effect as we'll as for practical use. 1t could be
msds a magnificent feature Of the Hudson scenery. 1t would unite
Manhattan Co the New Jersey mainland, making one of the 4grandest
highways in the world. Over it would flow a vast daily traffic.
In New Jersey It would build up Bergen county and much of the
surrounding country with a growth not otherwise attained in half
a century. The whole State would feel the stimulating influence of
that bridge. Mr.. Tomkins urged that a tunnel built by the two
States would be self paying. So would a bridge. The traffic would
eventually bear the entire cost, principal and interest. and afford
a structure of incompatible public value.

TIE BEEF TRUST AT BAY

IN FTER nine years delay the beef trust is on trial at Chicago.
TA The government lawyers find that they are confronted by
obstacles on every hand, for the agents of the beef trust
have not been idle. Records have disappeared, witnesses, and even
those who testified under oath before the grand jury, have evidently
been suborned, and everything that money can do to defeat the
ends of justice has covertly been done. Documentary evidence upon
which the prosecution relied has also been excluded for technical
reasons by the court. In the last analysis in this trial, too, no mat
ter how conclusive the proofs, the prosecution must depend upon
a verdict by the jury, and there is such a thing as a fixed jury. The
attempt to fix the Mcnamara jury at Los Angeles would have sue
ceeded but for the vigilance of a detective and the extorted confess
sion Of a juror. The American public will be treated to a great
surprise indeed If there shall be a verdict of guilty in the cases of
the best trust barons. And after such a verdict, what?

CITY PLANNING FOR NEWARK.

NoO ITY planning is a long and studious and expensive task if it
" is to be worth anything, and it requires the services of
qualified experts. AS for the expense involved, the char
acter of the Improvements that can be effected will cover that and
leave a big margin of public profit. If in making improvements the
power of the city shall be extended to the acquisition of excess
land to be benefited by the improvement, the city will receive the
emolument that always goes to private owners or real estate specu-
lators. Newark has reached a period of growth where it is abso-
lutely necessary for it's future welfare that a welLconceived general
plan of development should be adopted and some of the glaring
.zzytakes of the past remedied. There is a vast economy to be
effected as well as making our city more consistent, harmonious,
convenient and artistic in it's landscape and general lines. We
could we'll afford to invest half q million in the mere planning if
the scheme is faithfully and intenigently carried out.

m COMMITTEE to arrange a suitable celebration for the 25Oth
IN anniversary of the founding of Newark la to be appointed
by the president of the Board of Trade. This committee
will, of course, merely act with other civic committees and the
municipal authorities, for an event of that magnitude cannot be
handled by a committee of a commercial body alone. Every interest
represented in our population must have a voice both in the ar.
engagements and celebration. 1t is time, too, that the plan and
scope of the celebration should be discussed. Newark is not quite
of the dimensions to Justify a worlds fair, and an industrial, exhibit
would be only a single feature Of the show. But the best feature
Of such n event is that of accomplished results. II In the next
three wears we can reclaim the meadows and line the waterfront
with municipal docks that win be the noblest exhibit we can make
10 our visitors in 1916.

AN IDEAL UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT.

The announcement of the election of Professor John Grier Hibben,

Of Princeton, belongs to Princeton, is thoroughly imbued with the
university spirit, conserves it's best traditions and represents its
