Honor to Man and state.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
An Illustration of the value of due
and careful consideration presents it
self in the appointment of Chancellor
Mahlon Pitney TO the Supreme Court
bench. Many candidates. We're men,
senting murmur seemed t~o(accompany
the mention of their With
Chancellor Pitney there seems to be
a satisfied feeling that he, is the man
among men for the dignifed position.
The appointment is an honor to the
New Jersey chancellor and this man
from our state will be likewise an
honor to the bench of the nations
highest tribunal.
E.. PLURIBUS UNUM.
Believes Plan Commission's Protest just
To the Editor of the Evening Star.
There is every reason why the mem
bers of Newark,s City Planning Com
mission should protest against the
holding up of legislation which will ex-
pedite their work. Mayor Haussling
sought TO Wluen tue scope OF the COM
missioners by advocating hat their
terms be increased from one to three
years. 1t was also intended to provide
the commissioners with additional
clerical force.
Fol- some reason best known to those
who have axes to grind, and get in
their work while the Legislature is in
session, the bill providing for these i'm
provements has been held up. 1t is
probable that it would never have seen
the light of day or been heard of if
the Evening STAR had not taken up
the protest made by President David
Grotta, of the City Planning Commits
sion.
Now that the attention of the public
has been called to the C of interest
shown in Newark's affairs by the
powers at Trenton, the bill providing
for the improvements will be watched
closely. It's intent Is plain. If the COM
receive this additional
power their work will be greatly facili-
tated. Any measure which offers adj
vancement or improvement for Newark
should have the support of the entire
Essex delegation in the Assembly and
Senate. L. C JOHNSON.

Club.

Republicans should select a candidate
for the Presidential campaign who will
defend the Constitution as 1t Is with

a large gathering at the first OF series

yania avenue northwest. In speaking on
the tariff Mr.. Andrews said:
''The proposed removal OF duties on
sugar is erroneous. Consumers pay a
smaller margin on Ihe import cost OF
sugar than they do on most of the free
articles mentioned in the tariff.
In 1859 the consumer paid for sugar
an advance Of only g 1-s per cent of the
import cost of sugar. duty paid. At
the same time the National Treasury re-
ceived s52.Ooo.0OO net in revenue for the
payment of current biiis.
ION tea and coffee consumers paid then
and pay now from 100 10 800 per cent ad-
vance upon the import cost Of those arti-
cles II the House Ways and Means Com
mittee would investigate the reason for
this tremendous range between the inn
port cost OF tea and coffee and their
selling price TO the consumer, they would
serve the interests of the American peo-.
pie much more wisely and eficiently."

have not been very particular whether
they used n Democrat or Q Republican
with which to defeat their political en-
emy. In cases where the La Toilette
men have failed to defeat a sitting Re
publican member for the nomination they
have generally had the satisfaction Of
seeing him fail at the general election
and a Democrat succeed him.
Constituents Enter Fight.
A number OF the Wisconsin Congress
men have received newspaper clippings
from their constituents, in which these
members have been quoted as favoring
Roosevelt. A demand is made on them
TO retract the utterance or take the polit-
ical consequences. A few OF them are
disposed TO qualify their former inter-
views by saying that so long as Senator
La Toilette desired the delegates that he
would be able to control them in the con-
vention, and that IL he insisted on being
a candidate on the last and decisive bal
lot that Col Roosevelt could not hope to
get any votes from Wisconsin.
Others OF the Wisconsin members said
yesterday that while they would be will
ing to give the Senator a complimentary
vote they declined to be bound hand and
foot, and laid away in a corner in the
convention hall, to be marked as "a La
Toilette exhibit."N
Senator La Toilette is expected to
emerge from his retirement within a few
days. People who have been under the
impression that he has been taking the
rest cure are likely to be disappointed,
1t Is said He will soon be on the hust-
ings' and it is reported that Col Roose-
Welt will be made aware Of the fact
The Senator has had a number of SEN
sational Quarrels with his former sup
porters. One OF the men who was a heavy
contributor to his campaign fund. who
went over to Roosevelt at the first shout,
tried to. explain to Senator La Toilette
over the telephone a few days ago, and
was advised TO remain away from the
La Toilette home until after the election
next November.
Rumored Row with johnson.
This man contributed $4,000 to the La
Toilette campaign fund, but he is a warm
personal friend of Col. Roosevelt Gov.
johnson is another former La Toilette
supporter who is now In the "undesira-
ble' list at the La Toilette residence.
The governor asked Senator La Toilette
to release him from his obligations to the
Wisconsin man and permit him to join
the Roosevelt stampede. Senator La Fol-
lette refused. and for two days the gov-
ernor argued with him.
Finally Johnson informed La Toilette
that II the Senator would not release him
he would release himself. The La Fol-
lette men are now saying that Gov.
johnson sacrificed the progressive move
ment to crafty his personal ambition to
become Vice Presidential nominee on
the ticket with Roosevelt. The situation
is one Of the most interesting phases Of
the political battle from the Washington
viewpoint.
