Would Probe Walters.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
I believe there is a department of
the Health Board that investigates the
quality and manner in which food is
served in restaurants. Now, as a gen
tie hint, 1 want to say that it would
not be a bad idea if they made the men
that serve the foods in these lunch
rooms keep clean.
l went into one of them the other day
and the food vas fairly good, but the
men hat were behind the counters
were of an appearance that was not
apt to make one enjoy the meal. One
of them wore a white apron n a
dirty green oat that looked like an
old full dress coat cut shorter. The
coat might have been black at one
time, but it is a dirty green now.
h boy that served me was a for
eigner and was not extra clean. Every
time he moved he stuck his coat sleeve
in the foods that We're round him and
his sleeve had butter and pieces of
other edibles sticking to it. How
much better it would be for that lunch
room owner If he hired MEN and had
them wear white coats and see that
they were kept white.

That Sewage Plant.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Your issue of March 20 told US of a
suggestion that the site neal BelleviIle.
on which it is proposed to locate an
Imhoff disposal plant, be made a pub
lie park. Why could it not be a condition
to consent to the disposal plant being
placed that Montclair and the other
benef1ciaries Dear the expense of estab-
fishing and maintaining a combined
park and disposal ground of sufficient
area for both purposes? Use of the
park by pleasure seekers would quickly
dispel the present prejudice towards
disposal grounds due to lack of famili-
arity with them. AS an illustration,
there was q similar cutlery over our
Morristown disposal ground, even a
lawsuit against it having beer begun

completed, it has proved to be an abso-

MMNE of the urgent problems for Trenton, according to Wash
w ington A. Roebling, consulting engineer and member of the
Trenton City Planning Commission, is relief from traffic
congestion by building subways at the congested points. If Engi
neer Roebling will come to Newark during the hours of busiest
traffic and witness the conditions at the Four Corners and at other
congested corners in the cfty's centre he will know that, compare
lively speaking, Trenton's problem is a small one in its urgency.
And if he should ask the Newark Board of Works what it pro-
poses to do about the Newark problem he would get a vivid i'm.
preston that nothing would be attempted to be done until the
board was shaken up by a tragedy at the -Four Corners and an
outburst of public anger.

THE INCREASE OF .UDGEsH1ps..

I is the opinion of the Trenton Times that three additional
Il yicechancellOrs are needed. There are now seven. WHY
not make it a round dozen? And if there were now twelve
vice-chancelors legislative lawyers would be making the claim
that they are oyerworked and that the Chancery Court needed
more help. In 1890 there were three vice-chancellors. Now there
are seven. Since 1890 there have been created seven Circuit Court
Judges and two Common Pleas judges, altogether thirteen new
Judges, and the present Legislature has authorized the creation
of eight new county judges. BY the several acts relating to judicial
procedure passed by the Legislature the cumbrous and expensive
processes of justice that take up so much of the time of the court
have been partly reformed and there will be less for a Judge to dc.
A much greater reform is practicable, while an organic reform is
essential. Take the kinks out of the law, abolish it's anachronisms
and adapt it to modern conditions, and we can reduce the number
of judgeships instead of increasing them.

The Pa..nic strike situation.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-The other day I wrote
o regarding the strike situation in
Passaic and in reference to foolish
workmen going on strike and not
knowing what they were striking for.
I said I favored force and violence. if
necessary, to make these men leave
the sensible workers alone and not
stop them from working when 1t was
necessary for them to work to earn
a living. To prove that the striking
men are causing willing workers to
lose money and making them and their
families suffer by trying to interfere
with them / cite the following press
clipping from your paper in regard the
Passaic strike situation:
There are now nine mills in Passaic
and Garfield idle, with more thar five
thousand persons on strike, but last
night it was said other mills in both
places were liable to close. although the
men and women working in them
wanted to continue at work.
These workers, according to informa-
ton received by the authorities at Pas
sale and Garfield. have been threatened
with the kidnapping of their children
and with death by bombs unless they
walk out. Several hundred of them an
nounced last night that they were
afraid to appear at the mills today"
Does that not Justify my previous
statements and show that the authori-
ties would be justified in routing out
these strikers with the United States
regulars If necessary?

WHAT A CHANGE, INDEED!

NV ORTH DAKOTA is a strong Republican State. 1t gave Taft
AN $1,000 votes in 1908. The tabulation of the recent Republi
can primary vote is now completed. 1t shows these figures:
Taft, 1859; antfTaft, $685.; antiTaft majority, 56679, or within
about 300 of the total vote polled for Taft in 1908. Wisconsin
IN 1908 gave Taft a plurality of S1115. In the recent Republican
primaries the contest was between La Toilette and Taft. The vote
was against Taft four to one. On the figures of the full Republican
vote that means an antfTaft majority of 1882. And these
amazing changes of Republican party sentiment toward Taft are
shown in every preferential primary election that is held. Can
there be any wopder that Mr.. Taft and his managers prefer State
and district conventions organized and controlled by the "small

THE DAY OF RESURRECTION.

NAV THIN the memory of men not yet old the observance of
wv Easter was confined to the Roman Catholic. Greek and
Anglican communions. Now the world of Professionalism
celebrates the feast Of the Resurrection with equal rejoicing. Mod
en Jeremiahs who lament the decay of religion must be blind to
the growing homage in Christian lands to the spirit of the DAYS
that emphasize the cardinal truths of the apostolic faith. And
it is notable that the holidays most widely observed and that
touch most closely the home and the heart with greetings and gifts
of goodwill are those that, like Christmas and Easter. have their
foundation upon religion. We need squirting to keep feelingly
and sanely the days devoted to patriotism. But "the world itself
keeps Easter Day.

AN IRISH

m n Irish Parliament, to consist of two chambers and sit in
IN Dublin, is the scheme of the home rule bill to be introduced
in the House of Commons next Thursday. Forty Irish
members are to sit in the British House of Commons at West
minister. The powers of the Irish Parliament are to be similar
to those of Saxony in the German imperial system. Ireland
will have home rule except in those things that affect the
imperial relations, such as the customs. But when an Irish Par
Lament is installed in Dublin Ireland will be Ireland and not
merely one of the British isles, the Cinderella of the group. She
will have a distinct entity and her voice in British affairs will have
q new potentiality.

LIKE A CHAPTER OF OLD ROMANCE.

I reads like a chapter from Sir Walter Scotts tales of outlawry
Ii in the Scottish highlands, like "a Legend of Montrose" or
"Rob Roy" this long chase of the two surviving members of
the "Alen gang" And yet it is in the heart of a civilization now
three centuries old that for three weeks Sidna Allen and Wesley
Edwards have eluded more than two hundred skilled mountaineers
and detectives and even the keen scent of bloodhounds, in a mar
row strip of Virginia woodland. Astonishing are the woodcraft
and the physical endurance of these turbulent tribesmen, whose
ideas belong to the middle ages and the primeval forests rather
than to the year 1912 and the United States of America.
