ABOUT MEN,
(6UIQloM

IA long time ago. when Lieutenant
Detective Pat Ryan and myself were
young in the business" said Lieutenant
Detective Joe" Farrell, the other day,
we were sent out to investigate a rob-
berry. Among the articles stolen was a
pair of candelabra. When we got out
side Pat says, Joe, what are they? and
| says, Pat, don't show your ignorance.
Come on n We will find out
we went to Phil Krimke's pawnshop
and I said, Phil. there's a friend of
ours going to be married and we want
to make him a present OF something
that will decorate his home All right
says Phil, suppose you give a clock, a
pair of vases or a pair of candelabra,'
and at that Pat kicks me on the leg
and says, Joe, the candelabra: that's
what we want
"Phil puts the candelabra on the show
case, and when Pat sees them, he says.
Why, I thought they were something
to eat
We'll, you ought to have heard Phil
and me laugh, and so I says to Pat.
easy like, boy. don't you ever let any
one hear you say that. Just keep mum
and stick to me and I'll make a detec-
tive out of you yet"

other suggestions by commercial organizations and shippers, in
Guiding the regulation of express charges by the Interstate Com
merce Commission and a zone system to be established. lnyest-
CATION by the commission showed that in a single day one company
made nearly 5000 overcharges. The excess was never voluntarily
returned to the shipper. 1t was paid out in dividends and "melons. y
This was actual theft, matched only by the systematic frauds of
the sugar trust, only the express company dishonesty flched money
directly out of the pockets of the public. The sugar trust merely
robbed the government. BY the proposed new legislation the com
panies will get off with their millions of public loot and there
won't be any criminal prosecution. Blu. in compensation to a long
plundered public Congress should provide for the establishment of
a parcels post. and not the makeshift for one blandly recommended
by Mr.. Taft.

Comments Poster Judges.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
For their excellent work in choosing
the most attractive looking poster for
the Newark Industrial Exposition no
small amount of praise should be
handed to the judges. Being interested
in the outcome of the competition, 1
took particular pains to ask as many
people as possible what they thought
of the choice. All but two thought the
choice first rate, and | afterward
learned that the we were close friends
of other artists in the competition,
who. although their work was worthy
of honorable mention, did not win any
prize money. Let us hope that all
events of this kind in the future will
be decided as fairly as this n

A STATE OF RAILROAD SLAUGHTER.

II N the first quarter of the present year eighteen persons were
II killed and eleven injured on railroad crossings in New Jersey,
and twelve vehicles were demolished, In New York State
during the same period twelve persons were killed and twelve
injured. New York State has a railroad mileage nearly four times
greater than New Jersey. She has 3059 miles of track in every
hundred square miles of territory, while New Jersey has a railroad
mileage of 1885 in every hundred square miles of territory. And
vet in New Jersey the total number of killed and injured at grade
crossings from January / to April 1 this year exceeded the number
in the much larger State of New York. There were men in the
New Jersey Legislature at the session this year who could see
nothing wrong in this wholesale slaughter and wanted it continued
at the convenience of the railroads. What do these billiards think
of this showing for eur State?

OUR CANNED FOOD DIET.

PTS HI American people are rapidly becoming a canned food
Ii nation. The canning industry, which was begun not many
years ago with modest capital and with a small output, had
expanded in 1909 to 3,767 establishments, with $119,207 900 capital
and $157 101, 900 output. The gain in five years was 10 per cent.
in establishments, $685. 600 in capital and $26635, 900 in products.
Vegetables lead the list of products and tomatoes lead the vege
tables, While peaches take precedence among the fruits. The can
ming of food has been a great public boon as we'll as blessing to
the producers. 1t takes the surplus products of the earth and sea
that are perishable and preserves them for consumption in seasons
when there is no natural production. Thus the consumer gets fruit,
vegetables, etc, all the year round, where formerly he could
obtain them only in season. But the growth of the great canning
industry makes it imperative upon lawmakers to provide for the
strictest supervision and for every preeaution against the placing of
impure canned goods on the market.
