ia VIDENTLY the East Jersey Water Company does not count
IL with any degree of confidence upon the chances of dispos.
ing of it's plant at Little Falls by getting Newark and the
other municipalities that seek the Wanaque watershed for
development to buy the property. The executive head OF the
company offers to sell the plant to Paterson and Passaic and to
take bonds in payment. Montcair is mentioned in the offer. A
water supply for these towns taken from Little Falls would ne
quire pumping, which is expensive. A supply from the Wanaque
would come by gravity and the expense of pumping would be
eliminated. Newark wisely went to the Pequannock for a water
supply and is blessed by that foresight. Paterson and Passaic are
growing towns and the region of the Passaic valley above them
is developing, too. From Little Falls to the headwaters the Pas
sale and it's tributaries are used for sewage and that use will in
crease with time. Water drawn from the river at Little Falls is
bound to be contaminated. If Paterson and Passaic will take a
lesson from Newark they will not buy the East Jersey plant at
Little Falls, for it will prove an expensive and unsatisfactory in
vestment.

THE CANAL AS A PARKWAY.

ca HE preservation of the Morris canal above Bloomfield as a
public parkway forever is advocated by the Morris Canal
Parkway Association of Montclair and the association has
distributed a leafet of thirty odd pages, with illustrations of views
on the canal, to show the desirabilty of the canal as a public park
for northern New Jersey. The suggestion of a water parkway is
attractive specifically, but it utterly ignores the utilities. To
maintain a waterway stretching from Greenwood Lake and Lake
Hopatcong to Bloomfield would make a constant drain on the
watershed upon which cities and towns depend for their future
water supplies. Hundreds of millions of gallons of water needed
for reservoirs would fow through the canal to the Passaic and be
lost. The conservation of this water for aqueduct purposes is
essential. Its waste for public park purposes would involve the
loss OF property in water amounting to hundreds of thousands of
dollars. The canal is also a breeding place for the mosquito pest.
As population grows the use of the canal bed will also be needed
for practical uses, the most important being transportation. We
can get parks in other ways.

THE NEW JERSEY ROOSEVELT CAMPAIGN.

1TS HE antiTaft Republicans in New Jersey are now united for
Ii Roosevelt. Tonight the Progressiyes of the State will meet
In Newark and plan for the nomination campaign. The
Roosevelt League, which represents Roosevelt Republicans indie
pendent of organizations that have indorsed Roosevelt, will hold
a large meeting in Newark to open the campaign. The Taft organ
lzaton in New Jersey is in control of the party machinery and has
secured a big start of the Roosevelt movement in the wav of
preparation for the primaries, but what this advantage will amount
TO is yet to be seen. If there is a Republican groundswell the
regular organization will prove ineffective to resist il. The leaders
of both party factions are working in the dark The Swallows

THE STEEL TRUST SHOWING.

TT HE showing made in the report of the expert of the Stanley
d. steel trust investigating committee of the affairs of the
steel trust, as revealed by examination of the books and
papers of the trust, seems incredible. 1t proves at once that the
United States Steel Corporation is a trust in restraint of trade and
therefore unlawful, and that it's profits are inordinate. The state
ment was made some time ago, and hardly met with credence,
that j. P. Morgan & Co. had received $120, 600 900 for promoting the
trust. The expert finds that the firm was actually paid $%70y000000
The profit of the trust has been 40 per cent. on cost. Through
the medium of the Gary dinners in New York and by ownership of
the ore supply the trust has had control of the independent com
panies in the matter of prices, and it's largest margin Of profit has
been on ore and unfinished steel. A suggestive statement by the
expert is that a subsidiary company which supplies articles of food
and clothing to the army Of trust operatives has made profits as
high as 300 per cent. annually. All this makes interesting reading
for the American public.

Automobile Reciprocity.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
While the legislators are busy in the
present session they should not lose
sight of one bill which will benefit the
entire State. That is the automobile
reciprocity bill. There is no particular
municipality or county that will reap
a harvest If this measure goes through.
1t is not to afford Jobs that are merely
political plums OF anything of the
kind. 1t is for the good of New Jersey.
Under the present laws governing
automobiling in this State visiting
autoists are obliged to secure licenses
during their short stay. If the reci-
procity measure becomes a law visitors
from other States may tour New Jer-
sey for fifteen days without the neces-
sity of taking out a New Jersey license.
Such a law will not only show the
progressiveness of the State but will
very shortly furnish ample returns.

VIII G., o. p. Canonise Bryant

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Former Governor Stokes's explana-
ton of Theodore Roosevelt's speech at
Columbus, o., as published in your
paper last night, was very enjoyable,
especially in that part where the for
mer governor states that William Jen-
nlngs Bryan's ideas of 1896, except the
free coinage of silver. have all been
accepted by the Republican party.
That Is an awful admission, when we
recall what the G. Q. P. speakers In
1896 told lis would happen to this ooun-
try IL Bryan was elected.
IT do not think 1t would be a bad
plan for the Republican party to ave
Bryan hand out a few more OF his
policies which might have a tendency
TO ave that party. and then Bryan
might be run on the Republican ticket,
which would make him a saint.

now a law, and a great scandal is ended. But not a few
OF the justices are ignorant and some of them may not be informed
about the change in the law or may be reckless enough to ohfciate
IN marriages. Ignorant couples may thus be cruelty imposed upon.
Copies OF the law should be mailed to every justice of the peace

justices known to be ignorant or INSCRIPTIONS.

THE SOLDIERS HOME.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: Dur
ing one of my summer vacations l had the
good fortune TO go out camping. IL was
the custom in camp that each Sunday the
crowd of fellows would be divided into
three divisions. One division went fishing,
another on a launch trip and the third WIS.,
tied some place of attraction in the nelsh-
borhood. | was chosen to go with the last
party. The point of interest that we de-
cided to see was the Soldiers Home aoout
two miles away. Our party consisted Oh
forty bows. We started out right after dln-
ner. AS we trudged along the road we
sang songs and picked UP the ripe apples
that had fallen from the trees along the
roadside After an hour spent in this man
ner we arrived at our destination. Inc
building was a two story wooden structu,s
with a porch on which sat several o!d
soldiers We then entered and every Sol
der whom we passed received our salute.
Some of those who were not 80 very olu
were playing billiards but stopped playins
when they saw us. Older ones were slttlns
In the library reading books or newspapers
while the Oldest veterans who had become
feeble on account OF their old age sat IN
invalid chairs and greeted us as we passed
by. Ii took us two and half hours TO go
through the entire building. There were
armless and legless soldiers and others who
had lost some limb on the field or battle
Just before departing several old soldiers
got together and sang as well as they
could marching Through Georgia. Tears
filed their eyes when they were reminded
of their boyhood days. We then started
back for the camp and arrived there in
time for supper. This incident was the
pleasantest one I had during my stay In
camp LoUTs KALIsHER (aged 1D.
