ABOUT MENy
@eUWoW

Lawyer Samuel J.. Macdonald tells
the following story about William G.
Reick. who has recently purchased q
controlling interest In the New York
Sun. Many years g when Mr.. Reick,
then known as BILLY" was a familiar
figure on the Newark streets he met
Macdonald and asked him for the loan
OF $40 as his grandmother was coming
to visit him and he wanted to show
her a good time.
Certainly" replied Macdonald. as he
handed over the ten. A couple Of
hours later Macdonald saw a hand
some pony cart coming down tho
street, and he recognized BILLY" at
the reins. "Oh, he's taking his grand
mother out for a ride" unused Mao
donald.
AS the part drew closer he was as
tonished to see a most stunning young
lady in the seat beside Reick.
We'll that was one on me- said
Macdonald, and do you know. he
married that woman a short time after
ward. What? Oh, sure. I got my ten
back all right"
Sol Heller. keeper OF the outer gate
the building department at the City
Hall, is surely some on to his Job"
Of keeping" especially when some
green newspaper nan seeks to enter
tho sisnlcss door for a stray item of
news which on occasion turks within.
Soils "watcherwant?" would discour-
age many. but the man who was held
tbs other day told said So that he
had every expectation of stealing a
horse from within the sacred precincts,
and got by with no moro than a MUIR
derous look.

clerk or something like that.

DEMEANLNG THE OFFICE OF GOVERNOR.

cn HAT the people of New Jersey honor the Office of Governor
and are jealous of it's prestige was made evident enough
when Governor John w. Griggs resigned for the sake OF
taking a cabinet appointment at Washington. Mr.. Gr1ggs had
been assemblyman and senator before he was Governor and he
might have been further honored. But his resignation of the
governorship was resented as an afront to the pride of the State
and there were no more public honors for him. But would Gov
ernor Griggs have offended the people less if be had taken office
with no other object save to make it a stepping-stone to the presi
dency? Would the public have looked on with approval if he had
occupied a large part of his time with campaign trips throughout
the country in his own interest as a presidential candidate? If
the Office of Governor was demeaned by a resignation to take a
federal position more desirable, is 1t not also demeaned when its
occupant makes it's duties secondary to a personal ambition with
the intention to throw it up if that ambition shall be attained?

Secretary of State Lazancky recently
refused to incorporate the Hell Cafe, of
New York.
New York's cafes are singular
enough said MI. Lazancky the other
day in Albany, without the addition
Of such a queerly-named institution as
the He'll"
He smiled and added:
"Is there anything quite SO queerly
cosmopolitan as a New York cafe? The
last one I visited / saw a Portuguese,
a German and an Italian, dressed in
English clothes and seated at a table
Of Spanish walnut, lunchfng on Russian
caviar, French rolls. Scotch salmon,
Welsh rarebit, Swiss cheese, Dutch
cake and Malaga raisins. They drank
China tea and Irish whiskey."
Little Elizabeth and her mother were
having luncheon together and the
mother, who always tried to impress
facts upon her young daughter, said:
These little sardines, Elizabeth are
sometimes eaten by the larger fish"
Elizabeth gazed at the sardines in
wonder. and then asked:
but. mother, how do the large fish
| get the cans open?"

PRESIDENT TAFT IN NEWARK.

DTTa HERE is one striking characteristic of the American elector
ate. 1t diferentiates between the President as the nationa
executive and the President as a political partisan. How
ever much the individual may be opposed and disliked, the Presi
dent is always duly honored. We believe that there never was
on record an instance of a President of the United States receiving
an insult in an election campaign. Even in the South before the
bitterness OF the Civil War had abated visiting Presidents were
met with hospitality and courtesy by political foes. Wherever
President Taft has gone in his frequent journeyings he has met with
the utmost respect. Mr.. Taft will come to Newark next Monday as
the guest of former Governor Franklin Murphy and will hold a re
ception in West Orange prior to going to New York to make a Lin
coin Day address.

JUDICIAL FAULTS LAWyEP-MADE.

+ there was no profit for legal practitioners in the inperfec.
Ii tons and delays of the law; if, instead, there was actual loss,
we would not have to wait very long for reform. The judicial
system u our State was devised by lawyers and it is due to law
yers in the Legislature and State government that it's imperfections
were not remedied long ago. Every Legislature contains a large
proportion of lawyers. The State Bar Association is now aroused
10 the necessity for such reform as can be made by statute, and a
committee has framed bills with that object. 1t is certainly time
for the legal profession to do something in the way of making<the
administration Of the law less oppressive to the people and more in
accordance with the principles of justice.

OUR RETIRING POSTMASTER.

cTA HE retirement of former Senator James L. Hays from the
Ii position of postmaster of Newark after years of honorable
service makes a notable change in official life in our city.
Under Postmaster Hays the postoface has had an extraordinary
increase of business coincident with the cty's growth In manufac-
lures and population, and he leaves to his successor a much larger
plant and a vastly greater patronage than he came into when
ne was appointed. While in office Mr.. Hays instined an excellent
corps spirit among his subordinates and his management procured
an exceptional degree of efficiency. The parting tribute paid to the
retiring postmaster yesterday by the men with whom he had so
long been associated was we'll deserved.

4 WISER USE OF REETmpRovEMHN FUNDS.

MAJ AYOR HAUSSLING'S disapproval of the Board of Works
NV resolution requesting the Common Council for an appro.
pration of $247,000 out of the 81, 100000 fund authorized
for street improvements for the purpose of opening Ward street
from Market street to Cherry street, is based on good reasons.
The extension of Ward street is necessary, but not now indispensa-
Bile. The appropriation would take onefourth of the improvement
capital, which is already largely pledged or expended for improve
ments, so that only half a million would be left for larger and more
important objects. In the judgment of the mayor, also, the most
pressing need of the city is that for the opening and widening of
streets east and west in the heart of the city, and he would have
the present balance maintained for such purposes. Ward street
propertyowners can wait.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
We do not seem to believe in pros
perity. peace, quiet and contentment;
agitation apparently suits u nerves
better, and yet Washington. Lincoln,
Jefferson, Mckinley and Cleveland are
our ideals. The nation breathed a sigh
Of relief when Rooseveit's term ended.
In confusion and panic. The ex-Pred-
dent has many winning ways, and we
confess to a suppressed admiration for
his unique enthusiasm. If we were
obliged to enter into a fight we would
like to go in with the colonel; his
honor the President is too large: new
ertheless. nc more wise, dignifed, sem
sibie, safe and prudent man has ever
occupied the presidential chair than
Taft.
But we confront the problem that
quite a number Of the Grand Old Party
favor Roosevelt over Taft, a man Of
deep sincerity, honesty Of purpose and
admirable poise. VINO can explain this
variableness OF American temper?
Have the elements that went orisi-
nally to make what was indeed .
grand old party disappeared? Had we
not better think twice, consider well,
before we turn aside q man Of Presi-
dent Taft's mold to crafty the pre-
vailing, and we trust temporary. rae

A TOO COMMON I'M OF A DETECTIVE.

m N incident at CHfside Park, in Bergen county, illustrates the
IN detective ability of the average officer employed in the
smaller towns and counties. A hotelkeeper, threatened by
black-handers, was advised to place a package in a certain place
where be had been hidden to leave the sum Of $500. Two officers
placed themselves on watch. And while these "sleuths" were
watching the package two Italian blackhanders secured it and
walked off with it right under their precious noses. Some day
government in this State will wake up and realize that crime, and
especially organized crime, has got to be dealt with by men
specially trained in detective work, not by amateurs and bunglers
