Although the preservation of this pigeon is much to be desired, it would be of absolutely no value in eliminating the gypsy moth as the pigeons are almost entirely vegetarian in their diet

Tn 1910 about $1,000 In rewards were offered by Clark university for the first undisturbed nests of the passenger pigeon to be found in the United States This was a great stimulus to action.

MONDAY EVENING, JULY 12. 1915.
MUST AWAIT DELIBERATIONS.

There appears to be nothing left for the American
people but to await the conclusions of President Will
son and Secretary Lansing to the nature of the
reply be sent by this country to Berlin in
to the German note of July 8. Secretary Lansing is
preparing tentative draft of reply which will be
submitted to President Wilson in its outline form
The secretary may go to Cornish, New Hampshire
where the president is spending short vacation or
the president may to Washington. Just
which course will be taken has not been determined
as yet After thorough deliberations the conclusions
of the president and the secretary of state will be
submitted to the cabinet
Impressions at Washington that the relations
between the United States and Germany have been
strained of the note of July 8, and that in
the Wilson there will be decided insisment
that the rights of travelling Americans will in no
sense be surrendered But for the present any
thing that comes out of Washington will be fore
cast based purely surmise.
The president is being advised by and news
papers of influence along certain lines regarding the
attitude to be assumed under the present circum-
stances and urged to deeply consider the points
raised
These points that 1t is both the right and duty
of the United States to call Germany to account for
attacks upon American commerce and upon the lives
of Americans, and that this country cannot be too
rigorous with Germany in maintaining its rights.
The American people, while having no desire for
war with any country but, the contrary, anxious
to remain neutral will maintain their dignity and
sef-respect against the kaiser the king, Great
Britain or Germany, any powers to the utmost
limit of their means and will, moreover stand by the
president of the United States
While Germany has been sharply called to ac-
count for injuries inflicted upon American commerce,
and has given of reparaon Great Britain
has escaped similar deserved attention.
Great Britain should be called to account for at
tacks on and interference with commerce and
for interference with American rights. 1t is fact
that we have not handled Great Britain severely
as she deserved to be handled Her aggressions have
been numerous and illegal
The United States is not ally of either Great
Britain or Germany and we by acts, should make
that clear and strong. There should be temporiz
ing with country engaged in while dealing
sharply with another. Our forebears maintained in
dependence neutrality and dignity treating all foes
impartially, fearing and respecting power other
than Almighty God.
The spirit that actuaed forefathers is
alive in the breasts of all Americans of today.

The Devils Own Country.

This Carso is bare, treeless,

hundreds of miles. The dreaded Bora

boiling springs. Out of one of these

THE SUMMER SCHOOLS.

The opening of the twenty-five summer schools
today with an enrolment of 1857 pupils In

withstanding the fact that the allyear schools are
not In this count marks further advance in this
feature of public education, in which Newark was
the pioneer.
The pupils of these schools at the close of the
summer will have every advantage of those who
idled away the summer at the reopening of the day

studies without break will have forgotten nothing
and may truly say that the six weeks in school has

Americans have four great and

A NEW CITY CHARTER.

| The draft of plan for a city charter is now
presented for debate. The mayors charter commits
sion has not taken much time and given much
thought to its work as did the commission that a
few years ago drew up the draft of city charter
That draft sleeps in the cty's archives But the
time and labor on it not wasted
Newark needs new charter There is no dis
pute about that The only question is as to the kind
of charter that would fit. There is no benefit merely
in a revolutionary change, and experiments are
always doubtful, as many municipalities have
learned to their cost Nor trust entirely to
the experiences of other municipalities
Cities different in their characteristics A
form of government well adapted to would be
suitable for another charter for a town in the
Middle West the South would not be desirable for
Newark charter for city of thirty thousand popu-
ulation could not work successfully in city of four
hundred thousand people. great industrial center
wants different governmental system from a resi-
Dental community. What would suit stagnant
town would be i'll adapted for progressive one.
Therefore, the experiments tried In other cities
can be no sure guide for city, which must
and even racial traits, we'll the tendencies of
public enterprise. 1t is of little value to to
how Des Moines is governed. That city is wholly
unlike Newark
Evolution in city government has been slow
process, but it has been in the right direction The
most important and the most beneficial change
that of transferring all authority the public
works to salaried board, elected at large. Another
the transference of control of the fire and police
departments from the council to appointive boards
We didn't borrow these changes; just made them
in the ordinary way. Doubling the salary of the
mayor was another good step
The proposed charter retains the salary
figure for the mayor greatly enlarges his powers and
doubles his term of Office. With the aboshment of
the elective Board of Works the mayor is to appoint
the directors of a department. 1t will be
called that the Board of Works when it first
created appointive by the mayor and for
that much criticised. Here we would go back
to first principles
The proposed Board of Estimate Is a New York
idea. 1t has worked we'll in New York, and prob
ably would in Newark The plan, however, is to
give the mayor virtual control of the municipal
for he is to have three votes and the director
of finance appointed by him is to have two votes.
while the council president and four councilmen
to have six votes altogether 1t would be easy at
any time to the majority. But the
charter draft is open for discussion.

devoted to the sale of meats, you can
buy anything from a broken-down

Once upon q time titled visitor Sc

and sold it for close to s45 an ounce.
The miniatures, bronzes and ancient
works of art that are displayed in
some "pitches"-as the displays are
oalled-are the center of interest to
those who feel themselves competent
to appraise real values no matter how
low the price asked. Yet, across the
narrow lane there may be a boot
seller who will fit you out with foot
wear at anywhere from q shilling up.
1T is the wide range of articles offered
for sale that attracts the rich and
the poor alike to this unique Friday
market.

the crowd of carriages that stands in

modore, who was also q master In the
arc Of driving fast horses.
"Mr. Vanderbilt hesitated o moment,
pursed his lips and from them sent
out a sort Of soft, whistling sound,
which was characteristic of him when
he was thinking intently, and at last
said: We'll, there Is Frank Work. I
have seen him drive when I thought
no man could surpass him in that re-
spect. But Frank was fonder of driv~
ing one horse than q pair, and you
know that prefer to drive q pair of
horses. I think it requires greater
skill. for you have two horses to keep
under control instead Of one. On the
whole. should say that Robert Bon
ner was the finest driver ever saw.
It seemed as though he hardly
touched the reins, holding them gently
in his hands and never using a whip
at least, never saw him do tt--and If
he spoke at all 1t was In a low and
very gentle tone. He had mastered
the art Of communicating intelligent
ly by the gentlest kind of manipula-
ton of the reins, and as he never
would have a horse which was not
very Intelligent he was able therefore
easily to communicate what he want
ed the horses to know. Yes, I should
say that of all tho drivers whom I
have seen drive think Robert Bonner
was the best from every point OF
view. It was certainly a delight for
me to look at him as he went by, for
he, his horses, the harness and every
part of the equipment seemed to be q
single identity, q magnificent team
Il had opportunity to tell Mr.. Bon
ner what Mr.. Vanderbilt had said,
and he was greatly pleased. although
disasreeing with him. for he insisted
that no man could surpass William
II. Vanderbilt as driver OF road

At time when tho late G. G. Clarke
was chatting with mo rennniscentiy
OF Commodore Vanderbilt and Of his
son, william H. Vanderbilt, he spoke
especially of the fondness Of both
father and son for horses. saying that
driving was practically the sole rec
reation they permitted themselves TO
take.
Mr. Clarke was for many years vice
president of the New York Central
system, and he was In intimate busi-
ness and personal relations, first with
Commodore Vanderbilt, and later with
his son william H. He knew init
mately all the pecunarities charao-
teristic of the two men, but he did
not regard that fondness for driving
as popularity.
"I once asked William FL. Wander
bi1t," Mr.. Clarke went on to say,
whom he thought the most accom-
plished driver in New York. I had
mentioned to him that happened to
know that when Lord Chief Justice
,Colerfdge, of England, was visiting
the United States in 1888, and part Of
the time he was a guest of Mr.. Van
derbilt, that the former had said that
although he had been Hospitality re-
ceived and most charmingly enter
tanned, yet perhaps he would longest
remember a drive he had behind a
pair of Mr.. vanderbilt's best horses.
He could not understand how Mr..
Vanderbilt guided and controlled the
horses, but he did realize that there
was some sort of mystic oommunica-
ton between them.
THAT meant. OF course. that the
lord chief justice regarded Mr.. VAN
derbilt as the best driver he had ever
known. Therefore I made exception
