A FIGHT FOR MISREPRESENTATION.

MV UTLEY has a substantial interest in the opposition to
EN the location of a joint sewage disposal plant by Mont
clair, East Orange and Orange in Belevine and Bloom
field, no matter how it is proposed to dispose of the eAluent
from the plant. The Second and Third rivers, which are merely
creeks flowing into the Passaic, are available. They flow through
wellpopulated and growing residential sections. In seasons of
drought there is very little flow, and if sewage efauent should be
turned into either river there would be little else to flow to the
Passaic The plan is to use the Third river, which passes through
Nntley and is a picturesque feature of that pretty suburb. The
Second river passes through Beleville and is also a picturesque
asset of the town. The damage to residential property interests
by converting either stream into a discharge sewer for the dis.
posal plant need not be described. But the existence of the plant
in near neighborhood to property in Bloomfield, Belleville and
Nutley would alone make a vast amount of property unstable.
The fight the representatives of these towns are making is for
self preservation. The only reason the three aggressive munich
palities can give for refusing to use the trunk sewer and imposing
a great grievance on the protesting towns is that it saves
money.

EXCUSES FOR POOR STREET PAVING.

I'D ALT1MORE'S streets are, as a rule, poorly paved, and the
Id cobblestone is in evidence everywhere. Visitors during
convention week have commented freely on the street
conditions, and Baltimore feels mortified, as it should be. A
local paper hastens to explain. The Civil War cost the city
twenty-five years of development, and within the last six years
there was invested about $25,O00 900 in a sewage plant and
water-supply system. A year ago the city had 800 miles of cob.
blestones and unimproved streets, and paving is going on at the
rate OF forty miles annually. But other large cities have had
their serious drawbacks, too, and yet their streets have improved
pavements- Newark has had large expenses and has carried
heavy burdens, and 1t has managed to get rid of it's cobbles and
pave many miles of improved streets. Convention week criticism
viii doubtless have a stimulating effect upon Baltimore civic
spirit.

HUDSON REPUBLICANS AZURE TAFT

TT HERE can be no doubt that the Hudson County Republi-
Ii can Committee in it's action last night in reputation of
the Taft nomination represented the sentiment of the
great majority of the Republican voters of the country. In the
primaries In the Eleventh and Twelfth Congress districts of
Hudson county the vote was 1904 for Roosevelt and 2,16 for
Taft. The former has lost none of his following, while events at
Chicago have turned hundreds of Hudson voters from Taft. The
plea of regularity" to them falls fat, since it is notorious that
the men who make the plea have not scrupled to knife party
candidates displeasing to them.

These kindergartens be,
The children quite amaze me with
The things they bring to me.
They learn to make a peanut she'll
Into a i sugar bowl.
And how to weave red stocking yarn
Around a doughnut hole.
They learn to ply with skilful tact
The most artistic capers
And build a gorgeous milk-stool with
Sweet purple tissue papers.

They stay at home and paste

And cats on mothers waist.

DEMOCRACY AGAINST ALDRICH BILL.

eTa HE Democratic platform emphatically condemns the AL.
drich monetary plan as a device to give control of the
nations banking and currency system to Wall Street
fnanciers. If President Taft could have had his way the Aldrich
plan would now be in operation. Mr.. Taft favored the first
proposition by Aldrich for a central bank before the Monetary
Commission, of which Aldrich was the chief engineer, had made
its investigation and report. But, happily, Mr.. Taft did not have
bis way, and the banking and currency question will be settled
in the interest of the American public, and not for the benefit of
a group of fnanciers, after Mr.. Taft has been retired from office.

This thing of doing in Rome as the
Romans do is not always the best
plan. If you don't believe it, Miss
Jane Adams, the famous %sociologi-
cal worker. of Chicago, will tell you
a story to prove 1t.
Miss Adams knew a wealthy
woman who delighted in doing works
of charity, such as sending mission
aries to foreign fields and on n oc-
casion she put up the money to send
a missionary to the Caroline Islands.
Soon after his arrival on the scene of
his activities the religious man sent
his benefactress a photograph of him
self and his wife.
Whereupon the rich woman wrote
the old man of God a letter, suggest
ing that his wife, in order to win the
confidence of the natives, should
throw away her fine clothes, and wear
the costume of the islands. . Two
months later she received this an
swer:
"Inolosed is the complete costume
worn by native My wife
awaits further word from you before
adopting it."
The native dress consisted of a piece
of woven straw, two inches wide and
eight inches long.
1t was enough.

NO VETERAN THANKS TO TAFT.

TT N his speech to the convention at Baltimore Chairman Ollie
Ii James called attention to the fact that the Democratic
House of Representatives had in the herwoodsdollar.a-da day
pension bill given to the Civil War veteran IN his declining
years the most liberal pension on record. That bill, be it re-
marked, was changed by Republican votes In the Senate after
President Taft had signiAed his purpose to veto it. What the
veteran got was a dollar or two a month more on his pension.
md to save that allowance the House had to consent to the
Eenate substitute, which the. attitude of Mr.. Taft, inspired bv his
counselors, compelled. The veterans have no thanks to waste

CHANGE IN NOMLNA TING METHODS.

0TS HE Baltimore convention has been a test of endurance for
Ii the delegates and a severe one. The allnight session
Thursday after two days full of extraordinary excitement.
followed by a prolonged period of balloting yesterday and this
morning, taxed the energies of the hardest delegate. But are
all future national conventions to be held in the same way. or
shall there be changes in the methods of selecting the delegates
to prevent contests for seats, make the States vote as units and
draw the lines so clearly before the convention that as a rule the
nomination may be determined on before the convention meets?

Will you permit me to use some of
your valuable space to sound a note
Of warning? =
There Is a limit to all suffering, and
the poor public Is having its cup
filled to the brim. The tobacco trust
owns a chain of stores, the Childs
restaurants are owned by the Stand
ard Oil Company. the drug trust is
in the process of formation, and now
the beef trust is forcing the retail
butcher out of business.
What are the trust magnates
about? If they would study more
closely the condition of this country
they would soon realize that by going
into the retail business they are elm
mating competition and incidentally
doing away with the middleman,
thereby forming two a~ntagonistic
classes hat will be one day formid-
ably arrayed against each other. with
the odds in favor of the lower classes.
So they ought to see that the trusts
will by their own Unsuitable greed
destroy themselves.
