reach civic Pride in schools!

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
1t has been said repeatedly in my
presence while in New York city, Bos-
ton, Hartford and other places of repu-
tation, hat Newark is not as popular
with the people of other cities because
there is. a grave lack of civic pride
here. This assertion has aroused me
repeatedly, and l have denied the ae-
cusation. The anti-Newarkers point
out many instances where the local
residents lack civic pride in which
other people are foremost.
The statues in the parks are shown
as an example. The copper plates are
ripped off one in Washington Park, and
at present a stranger cannot tell what
the figure represents. This statue a
been In the same condition for several
years. Have not the Newarkers civic
pride enough to restore these plates,
even though some vandal may sell
them again? They have not shown
IN inclination to do so. In other cities
defacernents of public statues would
have been rectifed in a short time by
public-spirited residents who take a
pride in their city.
Newark would be better known if
its civic pride were properly aroused.
Teach civic pride in the public schools.

Drowned speech ere it could struggle

The raveled bronze hat made her hair

Ten times it's weight in gold cleaned
like the skies
At sunset DER those azure deeps. Who
tries
To paint such loveliness fails at the
dearth
Of words, u she was framed. for woe
or mirth,
A puzzle, a perfection and a prize!
She turned to me, answered the mute
appeal
My own ayes held, and by some hidden
law,
OWNED my wishes. Like a silver bell
Her sweet voice echoed through the
mercantile
Establishment she worked in-"Have

REGULATION OF WIRELESS.

0a HE general Generalization of the wireless since the Titanic
Ii disaster teaches a needed lesson to government. 1t suggests
a national danger. The service between the rescuing ships
and shore has been seriously interfered with by messages flashed
from scores of points by amateurs as well as by messages from
regular stations. 1t is evident at once that wireless teegraphy
must be under governmental control, not only TO prevent serious
interference with communications of vessels with the shore. but in
time of war and for the national security. In case our coast was
approached by a hostile fleet the enemy could, without the strictest
regulations, have wireless communications giving information of
vital import, while messages sent to or from our ships could be
intercepted or be confused by private messages transmitted by ire
sponsible persons on shore. The remedy would seem TO be for
the government to license wireless telegraphy and put all who use
the service under such regulations as will cut off the amateurs and
make those who use it responsible for their acts.

NA7 HILE awaiting the complete story of the Titanic disaster
WY the public mind fastens itself with remarkable unanimity
upon one of the few clear details, the lack of enough life
boats to hold all the ships company. Humanity on both sides of
the Atlantic is aroused to the demand that this murderous policy be
done away with. Steamship companies must accept the awful wit
ness of a death list of 1,500 persons against the theory that any
steamship is unsuitable or can always be kept afoat until the wire
less call can bring aid. 1t is right that Congress should be aroused
by this monumental calamity to action that will prevent another
such. Out of the many bills introduced in the House yesterday for
amendment of the navigation laws in this respect some effective
measure ought to come. And the insistment upon a more southerly
transatlantic route, to avoid fogs and icebergs, is another moral
pointed by the catastrophe that has appalled, the world.

THE FALLACY OF FREE SHIPS.

0Ta HE argument for granting American registry, but no prefer
Ii ence, to foreign-built ships sailing under foreign flags and
owned by American concerns is exploded by the replies sent
by seven such companies to the secretary of the Merchant Marine
Commission. who wrote to ask them if they would accept such
registry TO engage exclusively in foreign trade without subsidy.
diferential duty or other government encouragement. Every an
swer was negative. American vessels now carry only Q per cent
of our foreign commerce. An offer of American registry TO foreign
built ships would not bring a single ship under the American flag
without subsidy of some kind. Moreover. without a discriminating
toll in favor of our commerce on the Panama canal. the enormous
expansion of the worlds trade that will follow the opening of that
short cNt to the Pacific will leave American shipping as far behind
as it is now.

people. with the exception of the poor
sailors who were killed and drowned
when the bow of the ship was stove in
by the iceberg, would have been saved.
An investigation should be made into
the lifeboat question. Few Of the ocean
liners carry a sufficient number of life
boats. The sinking of the Titanic is
another of those sea tragedies which
will not be explained unless the cap
tain or some of the officers who were
on duty on the bridge at the time of
the crash are saved.

TT I is becoming more and more doubtful if the Southern delegates
Ii representing phantom constituencies can be held in line for
Taft until June. The breadand- butter brigade that selected
these political dummies show restlessness and anxiety. They had
been told that Tafts nomination was absolutely sure and that their
federal jobs depended on the amount of zeal they displayed. They
have learned things since. The uprisings of Republican voters in
the North and West have opened their eyes. Above all, these men
desire to be on the winning side and they care no more for Taft
than for Roosevelt That a break is impending in the Taft forces
there is every reason to believe, and the beginning is looked for in
the South. If, as expected, the Massachusetts primaries shall
repeat the results of those in Illinois and Pennsylvania the begin.
ming of the end of the Taft candidacy may quickly follow.

NEBRAsKA,s PRIMARIES TOMORROW.

NV EBRASkA gave a plurality of about 1000 to Bryan in 1908.
AN 1t gave Roosevelt S6,6s2 plurality in 1904. Nebraska took
no stock in Taft four years ago. The State will hold presi
Dental primaries tomorrow and nothing has happened since 1908
to give the Nebraska Republicans any better idea of the President.
In all human probability, therefore. Nebraska's presidential pi-
maries to be held tomorrow will result in the choice of a full dele
cation for Roosevelt, who is now stirring up the Republican vote
TO get it out to the polls. AS for the Democratic primaries the
results will seem to indicate where Mr.. Bryan stands in respect to
the nomination. Mr.. Bryan has declared no preference, while at
the same time expressing his strong disfayor for Governor Harmon.
The personal animosity of Mr.. Bryan toward Ohiois Governor is
well known. Outside of Nebraska due allowance is made for il.
But it is known that personally Mr.. Bryan reposes every confidence
IN Speaker Clark as a Democrat and statesman of tried worth and
patriotism.

ELEVEN YEARS TO GET mock DAMAGES.

L has taken eleven years for a commissioners appointed by the
Ii United States District Court at Trenton to investigate and
report upon the cause for the explosion of d boiler of the steam
boat City of Trenton on the Delaware river, in which twentysix
persons lost their lives. The explosion was due to negligence.
Fiftytwo damage suits were instituted against the company, the
claims ranging from $500 to 100000. The company sold the
wreck for $500. And now, after eleven years, the commissioner
finds she company responsible to the amount of $500, the selling
price of the wreck, less the eleven years interest, giving an average
of S163 to each claimant, all of which and more will have gone to
the lawyers. Probably the award does not equal the compensation
TO the commissioner for his eleven years investigation. 1t is hard
to find words to characterize this trayesty of justice under the
federal laws.

Former Postmaster James l.. Hays
is a great pedestrian, but has to aban-
don his hobby of walking to n from
his office if he happens to be in a hur-
ry. This is necessary because there are
always six or seven p~ostofflce men in
Broad street while he is taking his
stroll. The p~ostofice employees are
very loyal to Mr.. Hays because of his
kindness to them during his twelve
years as postmaster of Newark.
Each of the le~tter-carriers will go a
block or so out of his "a TO meet his
former chief and have a chat with him
In this manner the ordinary stroll of
thirty minutes is often stretched to an
hour or more; but Mr.. Hays likes the
boys as well as they like him. and
he sticks to walking whenever time is
not too pressing.

the father of Roger Salmon, the young
pitcher who has created such a sem
sation by his work with the Philadel-
phia Athletics during spring practise.
All the papers East and West told of
the wonderful work of the young re-
cruit. Naturally and properly, the
father, proud of his sons ability,
sought eagerly all newspaper accounts
of Roger.
On one occasion, it is said. the father
went from stand to stand here in
search of a certain Philadelphia paper.
He continued his search until he
found himself at the Pennsylvania de-
pot. He was unable to get the paper
there.
"why not go to Philadelphia? can
get it there" unused the father to him
self. 1t was just time for a train, and
the thought had no more than sug-
gested itself before Mr.. Salmon found
himself on the train bound for Phila-
delphia to buy a newspaper.
