About the middle of the last CEN
tury there was q recognition OF the
| fact that primitive or even more
modern needle and thimble were not
sufficient to meet the demands Of
modern life. Soon after that need
was felt, Howe came forward with
his first model of the sewing machine.
machine. with various improvements
made by one or another inventor, had
been adopted into universal use
Well, / went on with my contem-
plation, asking myself whether there
was any other method which had
been in use for centuries that could
| be supplanted by more convenient
| instrumentalities adapted to our new
| civilization. Suddenly 1t occurred to
me that thisNwas the case with writ
ing. For ages either the stylus or
the quill pen or. later, the steel pen
had been the fundamentally by
which writing was done But the
need had arisen FOR a more rapid,
convenient method that would be In
sympathy with demands of our mod
ern civilization. So / said to myself,
| 81 am sure that some one and, PEE
haps, at the same time different per-
sons, are feeling this impulse and
are attempting to construct an ap-
paratus which viii supplant in great
measure, the century -old method of
writing. 1t even occurred to me that
the apparatus must necessarily have
as it's fundamental idea a sort of
circular or semi-circular method of
reaching the paper by means Of ham,
mers containing types which concen-
trated upon the sheet. The idea was
vague. / was of course occupied
with my own business and only in
-dulged in the fancy because l had
been led to this line Of thought by
my experience in witnessing the
manufacture of sewing machines.
"Afterward it appeared that there
were at that very time several men,
among them Sholes, of Milwaukee.
who were occupied with this prob
lem. Within a few years they had
given the world the modern type
writer which has wonderfully assist
ed in the development of the worlds
progress in recent years."

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Strive hear great deal from the
Opposing press these days about the
great increase of taxes. 1t Is and will
be used as a weapon to influence the

The term taxpayer" is capable Of

policies or the Democratic admins

that is not to say that the Republic

Politically am a Democrat of the In
dependent sort, and expect to vote Tor
aone good Democrats at this election,
and will also vote for two or three
good Republicans, men who have
been weighed in the balance and
found not wanting
To go back to the tax question, 1t
is quite true that they have raised
my tax to SO realty and 50 personal,
but that Is only s10 and / know that
most part, for Newark's gain. We
cannot keep pace with the city's
Growth and demands for improve

woman who Is a tightwad is some

BOTH For THE FULL TICKET.

For false logic and lame deductions and imbeciiic
reasoning on political matters, both the Evening
News and the Sunday Call are entitled to nrst aaa
andisputed honors. They might split the prizes.
They argue that Governor Fielder has no use for
Essex county and therefore hopes that the Democratic
Assembly candidates will be defeated the polls to-
norrow and that President Wilson doesn't con-
Enenta for any Democratic candidates for office ex-
eept the Congress candidates The president wants
The congressman. He needs them TO uphold his
policies
AS for mayors. sherifs surrogates ETC.. the presi-
dent and the governor have not pins worth of care
That's what the News and the Call say
AS a matter of fact and common sense, Governor
Fielder is as anxious for the of the Democratic
assemblymen he is for the Of legislative
officer. He cannot hope TO accomplish great things
unless supported by Democratic Senate and a
Democratic House. for he knows full well that when
ne received Republican support it only when the
Republicans could chance to accelerate friction in
the Democratic party, and for no other reason.
And the governor has advised and urged united
support of all Democratic candidates mayors sherifs
surrogates etc., to the end that such unity will tend
to help the Senate and Assembly tickets It will be
observed that men appointed to Office by Governor
Fielder heartily supporting the full Democratic
ticket hereabouts Governor Fielder is fool. He
was not born yesterday. He in critical time
command a Democratic Senate and Assembly. He can
have controlling influence with Republicans. Re-
pubcans look to Republican leaders for directions,
not to Democratic governor
The same with President Wilson. He desires the
return of Democratic congressman to uphold his
hands and back him up in great questions. He has
the right to insist Democratic hslp. He cannot

To insure victory for congressman the President
recognizes the necessity for general support Of all

WAR BOYCOTT ON SACRED soNG9

To cut out from the hymnal of the Church of
England all the hymns translated from the German
is of the preposterous suggestions which to
be expected during the hysteria of war. It would
mean the blacksting of such familiar and beloved
examples of sacred poesy "Hark the Herald Angels
Sing" sun of My Soul" Hail to the Lords
Amounted" Luther's "A Stronghold Sure and scores
of other inspiring hymns If art and secular ltera-
ought to be exempt from boycotts what shall
we say Of religion? The wonder is that a church
newspaper has published list Of these hymns from
the German in order that the English clergy may
recognize them, and has opened its columns to dis
cussion of the propriety of singing them.
But in quarters It is anything and everything
to humiliate the German, bettle him individually ant
discount the product of his genius and enterprise
There examples of this spirit right here in Newark
where certain newspapers deliberately misrepresen
war conditions and slur Germans. who true Amer
lean citizens, and anti-German sentiment
This is both unfair and unjust.

Che ComlinS OF Winter

The hungry glitter of wars wolhsh ewes
Cleaned where the sunset dies;
And then the wind stopped at the door and laughed
Like one who tries
To make his purpose with designing craft
| knew twas winter, stripping all of worth
In the house of earth
Of all its boarded gold; and in its place
Leaving lean dearth
To ape the skeleton, famine with her face
BaIsam and pimpernel and all the pearls
OF flowers that decked the curs
Of summer, 10 he seizes for his band
OF vandal churs
Famine and frost and death, with low hand.
The panther tawney hills crouch round and gaze
Gaunt faced at heaven, raise
. Huge claws of forest, stretching them to seize
The fields of maize,
Who in their terror shrink and freeze
Some jewels autumn dropped, when taking flight,
Mark with starry white
The place she stood, and patches, red fruit,
Among the blight
Show where she fled, the imprint of her foot.
Here lies the testament earth keeps apart,
OF nature, in her heart;
Come, bend and read of all her joy and pride,
The beautiful art
She builds with, and that love has sanctiHed.
In root and seed read of immortal things
OF what again, she brings
To life dead beauty, that no hand may BAR
OF songs wild wings
And colors palette refuged there afar.
Take hopel Though now speaks her thoughts weeds
Instead of flowers and pleads
In winds instead of birds her book, though sealed
Lies open; speeds
Gods message of the spring to be revealed.

dinarily Germany and Austria are
both heavy consumers. If they are
living on present supply, that supply
must soon be exhausted. The war
must Itself cause a great increase in
the demand for cotton goods enough
of an increase, indeed, to take care
eventually Of all this years surplus
over average production.
The plans proposed for the relief of
the South have all been inherently
unsound In that they proposed the
purchase, in one form or another, of a
product for which no market was in
sight. They predicated the ignoring
of the law Of supply and demand.
The country, desirious of preventing
the planter from being stuck with a
product which he could not sell in the
ordinary manner, was asked to stick
itself with a commodity 1t could not
use. The real remedy, the only rem

A COMPARISON OF TAX FIGURES.

One of Mayor Haussing's apt comparisons in his
campaign addresses is taken from the figures of the
tax books. During two years of his occupancy OF
Office the Common Council Republican The
council makes the appropriations and therefore vir-
tualy fixes the tax rates. for the rate well as as
sessments must be adjusted to the budget.
During the two years of a Republican council tbs
valuations were increased 20 per cent and the rate
went up 1917 per cent On the other hand, during
the mayors administration when the council was
Democratic the valuations increased II cent
and the tax rate only per cent.
That is to say, Republican Common Council made
in two years to increase the valuations
per cent. and the tax rate 81 per cent more than
Democratic councils did in the rest of the years of
Mayor Hausslings administration. And Mr. Ray
mond in this campaign has toted around with him
prepared figures to show how wrongfully the Demo-
had increased rates and valuations while in
power.
