THE EVILS OF DENIAL OF HOME RULE.


Auditor James A Rowes address to the League of
American Municipalities at Milwaukee yesterday, set
ting forth the serious handcaps American munich
paities because of their dependence legislatures
and their denial of home rule will be keeny appreci-
ated in New Jersey cities which have always been en-
shaved by the Legislature.
Mr. Rowe said that municipalities had to depend
too much the favor of the legislators from rural
districts, who largely in the majority in prac-
tieay all of the States and that matter how honest
the Legislature might be- it did properly eompre-
bend the problems of municipalities The larger the
city, the less is the legislative comprehension.
The control of lawmaking in New Jersey lies in
the Senate and that body is controlled by majority
composed of representatives of the small countless all
of rural character. These counties contain only
fourth of the States voting population. While
trolling the State this small minority controls the
inequalities which unable to perform simple self
governing local acts without the of the Legis
ature
city like Newark should be free to act, but it is
cabined cribbed, confined" by its dependence the
will of legislators at Trenton, who from counties
that have little development except agriculture and
of large city. Newark has needs and problems of
which they are entirely ignorant.
The injustice and impolicy of this vassaage of the
municipality to the Legislature have been recognized
for many years, and the demand for municipal home
rule has appeared in many political platforms, and it
has gone unheeded because the rural legislator will
not let go his grip upon the cities The injustice
would be corrected il the Senate made repre-
sentative body by the elections of senators by dis
trcts OF equal population the in nearly all the
other States

A BOON FOR NEWARK HoUsEKEEpERs

Newark housekeepers who sit up nights to cipher
out how they provide for the family table find that
the item of eggs is always formidable one in their
calculations Good eggs at market prices especially
In the late fall and the winter, amount to Injuries
IT is exasperating to them to know that the egg
supply is controlled by combination of spectators,
who corner for the sake of exortionate profits
winter 1t is therefore not without pleasure that New
ark housekeepers read today that Mayor Haussing
who is himself domestic and breadwinner, has
to the of the housewife the matter of
eggs, as he already has done in the matter of fish.
Forty-fve thousand dozens of first-class eggs of
unusual size and weight procured sale to house
keepers thirty dozen, make contribution to
the domestic economy of Newark that will be thor
oughly appreciated when the sale opens in the mu-
ncipal markets Saturday And il will be strictly
family sale, for the wholesale purchaser will be
barred. "A container in every will go with the
eggs
These exceptional times and exceptional things
must be done. The food question is predominant in
the cities of the United States and when winter comes
it is likely to be acute. The consumer without the
slightest protection from the law is exposed every
side to combinations of greed to force prices up.
There those who deprecate any kind of re-
sistance to this organized oppression and would let
the suffer 1t is surprising that the Newark
Evening News should voice this cold blooded opposi-
ton to just and necessary public benefit But the
municipal sale of fish has been continued with the
best results, and the Newark housekeepers will
be given all the benefit of municipal enterprise and
credit to help them out in their domestic economies

WATERFRONT IMPROVEMENTS DENIED.

None of the proposed new waterway improve
ments for New Jersey be prosecuted as all
the appropriations for them in the river and harbor
bill have been knocked out by the successful attack
by the railroad interests
Newark wanted the bay deepened for commerce,
that oversee steamers could come to the municipal
docks under construction to take cargoes from
the factories that to be built the meadows.
Jersey City wanted shoal removed from New Jersey
waters of New York bay that steamers could
be safely locked and the city asked for the deepening
of the Hackensack for the development of her western
shore front
These demands upon Congress not pork. !"
That term more justly be applied to the $50 600
600 of Increase in freight rates which the railroads
by hook or crook tried to get from the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the face of proof that they
were giving millions of dollars worth of free freighs
to favored private interests.
What this session of Congress has denied for
waterway improvements probably will be denied at the
next session. The selfish interests will be on
hand, the cry of pork" will be raised and the
same necessities of the government urged In the
case of Newark it may be said that complete job of
harbor improvement cannot be made in time for
the ctys 250th anniversary in 1916.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How Daniel Lamont Became Millionaire

Shortly after the death of Colonel
Daniel S. Lamont it became known
that he had left a fortune of about
accumulated within six or seven
years. When he became secretary Of
war in President Cleveland's second
cabinet, Lamont had accumulated
from his savings only few thou
sand dollars.
The story was told that at the
tome of the terrific struggle between
James J. Hill and j. Pierpont Nor
gan on one side and Edward ii.
Hartman on the other for the con-
troll of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
in 1901, Lamont was offered ST. 900
dollars cash for each share of his
Northern Pacific stock. The offer
was made by men who were capable
of paying him the money in cash.
Had lie accepted 1t he would have
doubled his fortune in day. But
he declined, on the ground that as
he had had the opportunity for gain
ing the Northern Pacific stock when
he possessed while in the service OF
Mr.. Hill he could not in honor give
TO Mr.. Hills business enemies sucn
advantage as the possession or MS
control of his stock would furnish.
This story was substantially correct,
for. although Colonel Lamont did not
actually admit 1t to me. his manner
was that Of "A man who, having nearo
the truth. did not care to confirm or
to deny it. Colonel Lamont, however,
did say to me that he had accumu-
iated his control of Northern Pacifie
stock without specializing in the ordi-
nary sense in which that term is used;
''While 7 was secretary OF war,
said Colonel Lamont, ut became my
duty to undertake a settlement for the
government of certain questions arls-
ing from the government lan1
rants-amounting to mlillons o.
