BIG STRIKE MADE
 IN OLD HAT DIST

TUCSON-Ore running 51 per cent copper has been discovered on one of the Daily, Arizona Copper company claims in the Old Hat mining district It was reported several days ago in Tucson that this strike had been made, but the news confirming it was received in Tucson only yesterday morning. The ore has been assayed and shows eight ounces of silver and $1 20 in gold per ton, beside heavy copper values.
 The shaft is about 75 feet from the line of some Copper Queen proper ties and is surrounded on three sides by properties belonging to this com pany. The shaft is down 37 feet, and men are working on it.
 Ore will be shipped either to Doug glas or Fl Paso. The ore will be taken out continually, and the ship ping will commence immediately. Men will go to the mine this morning to help those already on the ground This is considered to be one of the rich mining sections in the northern part of the stat e,and it is said that the properties in this district will rival the old Cananea section in time.

 In talking with a representative of the Tucson Star, MT Overlook said :
 T may retire within a few months from office. I have been in politics and want to start in business of a more substantial nature. I have not decided just when I will send in my resignation.
 As far as the change in adminis- tration is concerned, it won't effect me. My term is not up until 1916. feel sure that the election of Mr Wilson will have no effect on offices The presidents for so many admins trations have not removed men from office, that 1 am sure the next presi- dent will follow this rule.'

m N EXPERT investigation of the affairs of the Morris Canal
Al since it has been under lease by the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company would show the many gross violations of the canal
charter, as well as the object thereof. The railroad company makes
the point that it has sustained a heavy financial loss annually oy
maintaining the canal. Prior to the lease the canal paid good dlV1-
dends. By a policy of deliberate neglect the canal traffic was trans
ferred to the railroad company, which, thus released from competl-
pany's bookkeeping loss. In the forty years since the lease was et-
fected the public has paid in increased rates and in the increased
cost of coal tens of millions. The railroad is secure in the posses
sion of that unfair profit out of a helpless public. But there were
other profits. All the water the canal company was authorized to
take under the terms of it's charter was only enough for navigation
There could be no excess or surplus. That was a contract. The
canal lessee organized the East Jersey Water Company to sell
water plants and water to municipalities. Newarks Pequannock
plant cost $6,O00O00. Jersey Citys cost over $%7,000000. Part of
the purchase money went to the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
for canal water rights" 1t has been said that the company made
a profit in the two transactions of about three million dollars. The
deal was a secret one. Last year the companys statement &C
knowledged that it had made a private agreement with the East Jer-
sy Water Company to sell to that company all the remaining canal
family agreement, since the same men are interested in both cor
porations. But it demonstrated the secret relations between the
two companies and suggested prior agreements in the sale and pur-
chase of water not belonging to the canal, because not needed for
navigation. An expert investigation can bring out all the facts and
show how the canal lessee has not only been wrecking the canal,
but actually making wholesale sales of water rights that did not
belong to canal navigation and to- which the canal lessee did not
have the shadow of a legal claim.

evidently thinks is finished, but which
in reality is just begun and he VIII OBJ

Care of stray Dogs.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
According to an article which ap-
peared in the papers recently a mad
dog. which had bitten several children.
had not been located by the Board Of
Health inspectors. While 1t is hoped
that a diligent search has been made
for the animal, perhaps it would do
well to remind the authorities that the
dog is still at large.
So many of these dog-bite cases have
been reported in Newark in the past
year that many parents are beginning
to look upon the animals as a public
menace. 1t seems that in a city as
large as this, where there are so many
children playing in the streets, there
ought to be some provision to take care
of the stray dogs.
To realize the Importance of this
has but to read the account Of the
agony suffered by the victims of mad
dog bites. 1t is horrible to contem-
plate, but at the same time a little at
tentionapaid to the subject before the
harm occurs is better than any amount
of talk after. HUBERT GROSS.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-In our issue of the ninth
inst. "a Star Reader" asks several
questions about n thereby incident
ally shows his ignorance in regard to
the Y. M. c. A. and the Men n Re-
ligion Forward Movement.
He first propounds the question
will you please tell me the meaning
and object of the Y. NJ. C. A.? If your
correspondent. instead of addressing
this question to you, had gone to the
Y. NJ. c. A. building or to almost any
one of it's members totalling between
$500 and 5000 men and boys, he would
/ get "f%rst-hand" information regarding
the meaning and object of the Y. M.
c. A. and just what 1t is accomplishing
for them and through them for many
others in the city of Newark and vi
oinity.
Let him inquire of the parents of any
Of the 800 boys connected with the Y.
NJ. C. A. boys department and he will
get sufficient information to convince
him that when a boy joins this organ
ization tina is not all there Is to 1t.
The Y. M. g. A. provides clean,
wholesome amusement and recreation
for boys on a larger scale and in a
more complete and scientific way than
any other similar organization in the
country. The men in charge OF the
various departments are trained in
their specific work; those in charge Of
the boys have made an exhaustive
study of the boy problem and conse-
quently can render efficient service for
n call forth the best qualities in, the
boys with whom they associate. There
are many boys in the city of Newark,
some of whom are personally known to
the writer, who have been saved from
a life of ruin through the agency and
influence of the Y. M. C. A. Any boy
member of the association who may
go to ruin just as fast as the dance
hall, the poolroom and the moving
picture show can lead him along" does
so not because of the Y. NJ. c. A. in
fuence, but in spite of it.
Your correspondent asks the ques-
ton: Whose fault is it if my boy
goes astray? % and Their adds, mot mine
alone"
If his boy goes astray the fault is
largely, If not entirely, his own. A
father who not only endeavors to in
culcate good moral principles in his
children, but who lives a clean, whole
moral life before them needn't
worry very much about them going
astray. In isolated cases. perhaps,
the parental restraint is relaxed
and the boy is allowed to mingle with
boys of low moral principles who have
simply been allowed to grow up" any
old way, he may go astray.
The trouble with most parents now
is that they don't associate
enough with and make companions Of
their children.
Be a boy with your boys and not

his old friend Hogan.
Hogan was railing a clock" said
Dore. HE was fairly successful in
disposing of tickets in the shop where
he worked. but he a up against
trouble when he canvsssed his neigh

Dropping in at a neighbours house
he tried to sell a ticket on the clock.
TITS a fine ~timepiece and It'll LUX

Hogan cajolingly.
"'Gwan, the old clock doesn't rum

BUSINESS NEEDS NATIONAL ORGANIZATION

IN NATIONWIDE representative business body is needed,
IN and toward this the bureau of manufactures of the depart
ment of commerce and labor has been working. 1t is men
aced by a suggestion made in a congressional committee to wipe
out that bureau and merge it's activities with the bureau of trade
relations of the state department. When the bureau of manufac-
lures was created there were perhaps a dozen well organized cham
bers ofNcommerce in the sUnted States. To-day more than 5000
Gifes and teWns have such bodies. If the bureau is not interfered
with a coalition of great commercial organizations to give concrete
expression to the fundamental needs of American business is prom.
ied soon. President Lucius E. Wilson, of the American Association
of Commercial Executives, points out the folly of undoing all that
has been done in this direction, and his plea that Congress do moth
ing to block the plan for a national chamber of commerce will be
seconded by business interests all over the country.

IN HE responsibility for the enactment of a grade-crossing bill
to fulfil the platform promise in the State campaign last year
rests entirely upon the Republican majority in the LegisIa-
ture. On Wednesday the House committee will give another hear
ing on the Pierce bill and the representatives of the railroads will be
present in force. The old trick of inducing shippers to interpose in
the railroads behalf is being played again to make a show of bust
ness sentiment. The views thus obtained in a matter of life or
death for the public are too contemplate for a legislature to enter
tain and should carry no weight. The CHASTITY roll of the dead and
wounded on grade crossings in this State appeals to humanity. We
are living in barbarism as long as the railroad death-traps scattered
so thickly over the State are permitted to exist. The Republican
platform promised an honest Embarrassing law. No trick will be
left untried to make it a dishonest one. And the legislative ma
jority is wholly responsible for the character of the bill to be passed.
