Ea.. orange Grade Crossings.

10 the Editor of the Evening Star
Now that the Legislature has
passed the Fielder bill providing for
the abolition of grade crossings 1t is
hoped that the work of cleaning them
out will not long be delayed. As the
bill provides that the Board of Public
Utility Commissioners shall designate
what grade crossings are dangerous
it behooves the members Of that COM
mission to look in the direction of
East Orange.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad crossing in East
Orange is known TO be a menace to
public safety. During the past year
a number of lives have been lost at
this crossing, and numerous other ac-
cidents have occurred. Considering the
dangers of the situation here and in
other cities throughout the State 1t
appears that the Legislature could
have improved on the grade crossing
measure by making it more manda-
tory. However. the utility commits
sioners can easily secure all the proof
necessary to show that the East Or
ange crossing should be abolished as
soon as possible.

WASHINGTON, MAR. IL.
In the ten days that Woodrow Will
son has been President the one thing
as 10 the policies of the administra-
tion which he has made perfectly
plain is that he is not going to be
bound by presidents of any kind that
he does not like.
Starting out by refusing to see job
hunters and delegating to the men,
bers of his cabinet the work of hear
ing and asserting the multitudinous
claims for office, he has not delegated
the power of appointment, and all
ready it has been found that the
President intends TO make important
decisions for himself.
Declaring himself a progressive he
has made it apparent from the start
that While he intends to hold the
Democratic party responsible if pos
sible for the keeping of platform
pledges, he intends TO recognize and
confer with men of all parties and all
faiths in the matter of both patronage
and legislation.
1t is not as easy to see the Presi-
welt, particularly Roosevelt. Wilson
is not anxious to spend so much time
in hand shaking and social and po-
ltieal small talk as were his predeces-
sors.
TumuIty Accessible Any Time.
But anybody can see Secretary
Tumulty at any time. Newspaper
m an don't oNe1 boNa 10 sand in tbait-
cards. They Just open the door and
walk into his office, say what they
have to say and get out. Under for
mer Presidents it sometimes took all
day TO get a minute with the Presi-
dents secretary. Tumulty says he
thinks his new rule saves time for
both him and the newspaper men.
The gold lace that was so conspic-
nous at the White House in the Taft
administration has disappeared SO
has the smell of money eXuded by
White House callers. The people who
are coming to see Wilson are, as a
rule, not known in Wall Street to the
extent that were Taft's callers; at
least, not so many of them are.
1t is one of the traditions of long
standing that the cabinet must meet
twice week. on Tuesdays and FRI
days. The Wilson cabinet will meet
whenever there is work for it to do,
regardless of any stated days.
When il was desirable to put some
body into civil service job without
going through the Formally Of an ex-
animation and appointment Mr.. Will
sons two immediate predecessors sell

the President in sending for Senator
Penrose and other Republican SEN

selection of Democrats from theiI

for confirmation, has been another
precedent smasher.
In the reappointment of Charles J..

office of assistants, in various depart
ments who have served in previous
administrations, and the announce
ment that Republicans postmasters

out their terms, the sentiment of the
country seems TO be largely with the
President.
But these things don't suit the poll
tlcians at all. Under the surface
there is anything but harmony in the
Democratic ranks. There are hun
dreds of office hunters in Washington
clamoring Tor jobs. So great is the
pressure that the attorney general
has issued public notice that he will
not see office-seekers after 4:30 p. m,
as he must take the rest of the day
for public business. And the jobs are
being given out so slowly that the

men who secure appointments, as

members of the cabinet. The news

as to who will get the jobs, and most
OF the stories being printed as to
probable states are furnished by men
who are hunting the jobs.

streams and rivers form the most
available source of water supply, and
in thinly settled regions they are
