We believe in the citizen owning
and keeping a revolver, but it is to his
interest to buy new gun for $3.50,
if by so doing a criminal can be pre-
vented from obtaining one as good as
new for $3.50. We approve of the
sentiment expressed by the Jackson
vile Journal against the officers of the
law reselling pistols that have been
taken from criminals. We think that
the officers should have the right to
letain such guns as they can use to
advantage but that all the other.
should be broken into scraps. Lots Of
bad men would have to go gunless i
they had to pay full prices for thei
artillery.

sILzER's SLAP At THE GOVERNOR

Judge SilZer, in response to the demands of Boss Hague
OF Hudson county, has at last come out in favor of beer and
light wines. The judge is a high p~rncipled man and he
tried to make his appeal to the voters on a higher plane than
that of booze, but he could not get away with it. His orig
inal statement of principles was not satisfactory to the Hud-
son county crowd and he was given to understand that unless
he came out in favor of booze he would not get very far. The
judge has complied.
But it is a very careful and dignified statement that
Judge Snzer makes on the prohibition question. He is mis-
taken, of course, in declaring that the present laws are max
ing this a nation of whisky drinkers for there are ample sta
tistics to prove that this is not true, but some allowances
must be made for political bunk in all campaign docu-
ments when appealing for votes.
The most interesting part of Judge Silzer's statement
is the slap he gives his colleague on the ticket, the present
governor and candidate for the nomination for United States
senator. In the very beginning the judge says: tIn these
days of crime waves, of attacks upon our Institutions and of
sneers at our heretofore revered and honored constitution
only those who are anarchistic, or who have distorted views
could advocate reinforcement of our fundamental and
statute laws. There is but one course open to
us and that is to enforce all laws. The present
prohibition laws and the methods of enforcing them have
produced a chaotic and unsatisfactory condition"
These are very truthful words, but what an awful in
dictment against the present administration! When Cover
nor Edwards asked st. Peters Boy Scout Drum Corps of
New Brunswick to play elbow Dry l AM" calling it the state
anthem, what was it but a sneer at the heretofore revered
and honored constitutional While Governor Edwards may
not have openly advocated mon enforcement of our funda-
mental and statute laws he certainly has done nothing to
see that they are enforced as far as prohibition is concerned.
BY his vetoes, his words and by his refusal to use his great
influence as governor of the state to have these laws re
spected and obeyed he has, to all intents and purposes, advo-
Gated non-enforcement. And Judge Silzer says that such a
person is either a%narchistic or has distorted views. Still,
the same people who want Judge Silzer for governor would
send Governor Edwards to the United States senate to mis-
represent this great commonwealth.
Judge Silzer is a high class man, but he is in bad COM
pany. Those with whom he is associated are trying to drag
hin down to their level. The judge, in trying to satisfy
them and at the same time maintain his own self-respect, is
having a rather difficult time of it. Every time his own bet
ter nature crops out it reflects disastrously upon the crew
with which he is training in this campaign. The judge will
learn before he gets through that he cannot serve God and
mammon.

KEEPING COOL

To avoid sunstroke, keep in a breeze. This advice is from
the medical editor of the London Times. He says that heat
stroke is rare in well-ventilated or windy places, no matter
now hot.
The old idea was that "gettin' overcome by the heat was
due to temperature of the air.
European physicians are swinging to the belief that heat
prostrations and most hot weather discomforts are due more
to stufy air than to actual heat.
People instinctively know this. Unconsciously, on a hot
day, you seek a position in a breeze or draft.
Mechanically, this is the same as the fan which cools an
auto engine. Circulating air is the antidote for heat, though
too powerful a breeze-such as created artifcialy by an cleo
trio fans apt to cause stiff necks or colds.
The principle, that ventilation counteracts heat, applies
also to clothing. That's why women suffer less than men, i'll
not weather. Air circuates under their dresses, cooling the
skin by evaporating warm perspiration.
ing an under-vest made Of bamboo the thickness OF a pencil
lead The bamboo is cut into half-inch lengths and strung ON
cord in the formation of a fish net The meshes or holes make
cooling air pockets under the outer clothes.
Why do you wear heavy garments in winter Your an
swer probably is, $40 keep out the cold.' But the real effect
of wooden underwear or a sealskin coat is to prevent the heat
generated in our bodies from escaping into the cold air.
Put a hot substance with a cold substance and the heat
flows into the cold until the temperature of the two is nearly
eoualized. This happens in your refrigerator, heat flows out
of warm food and melts the ice. That's how food cools-by
losing a lot Of its stored-up heat.
The same principle works in summerw when porous cloth
ing permits the escape of the body's heat into the air. The
body's heat flows out into the air or into a cold bath, like
water through a pipe or electricity over a wire.
When the atmosphere is saturated with water the evap-
Grafton of perspiration is checked, there being no dry air to
absorb it like water into a wet sponge. Hence the saying, Il
wouldn't mind the heat if it wasn't for the humidity"
Misery also comes when escape Of the bodys heat is pre-
vented by the atmosphere being still hotter.

cITY,S OWNERSHIP OF WATERFRONT

The revival of the agitation for the purchase by the city
Of the Meredith tract at Market and Water streets adjoining
Bayview Park is not surprising following the band concert
that was held there Wednesday night. The tract is located
on the east side of Water street, extending from Water
street to Front street, and Immediately north of Market
street. Not the least important feature in connection with
this tract is that certain riparian rights go with it and as
riparian rights cannot be bought from the state any more,
the only way the city can secure possession is TO buy prop
erty for which the riparian rights were secured before the
present ruling by the state was put into effect.
AS the Evening News has repeatedly stated, the city
will make no mistake in buying any of its waterfront prop
erfv. Eventually all will be extremely valuable. The prop
erty already bought by the city, which purchase caused con-
siderable criticism at the time, has become a wonderful
asset. This land could not be bought today for twice what
The city paid for it a few years ago. This will be true re-
garding any other purchase along the waterfront that the
city may make.
Some day the city will realize the wisdom of owning all
the land east of Water street all the way from Market street
around the Bluff to High street. This would make a beau
tiful boulevard and terrace overlooking the bay that would
At one end and Caledonia park at the other, both already
owned by the city, an excellent start has been made. The
addition of the Meredith tract is a logical step in CARRYING
out this development.
AS for a permanent location for the band concerts,
however. no better place could be chosen than at the footof
Catalina or Brighton avenues on what is known as the Hayes
mark tract, which the city already owns, having bought the
land for park purposes. When the sewers are removed and
municipal bathing beaches are established on the shore
there that section will become the citys playground and
band concerts would follow in the natural course of events.

EXPERTS STUDYING COAL
SHORTAGE DUE TO STRIKE
Daily Letter by Frederic j.. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The
protracted coal strike has set experts
of the Federal government to study
ing anew the problem Of the storage
of coal on a large scale.
Aside from the expense of extra
handling and equipment. there are
two major reasons why coal cannot
successfully be stored. The first is
that when exposed to the air. coal
gradually loses its combustability-
that is, its burning and heating quail
tiles. The ages produce coal by
crushing decayed vegetable matter
under great weight and pressure in
the depths of the earth, far from at
mosphere. When coal is brought to
the surface and exposed to the air,
nature starts to undo the process
and take the elements of combustion
away.
The second reason is that, through
some chemical or physical action OF
the air upon coal which has been
taken from the mine. the product
generates heat of it's W and spon-
taneous combustion results. This is
one of the mysterious forces Of ma
ture which has baffled many sc.en-
fists and engineers. Without the ap-
plication of any external heat or
in1ammatory matter, a pile of coal
sometimes will ignite itself and burn
with dangerous intensity.
This phenomenon is encountered
most frequently at sea. Steamers

papers add learns Of coal strikes
and shortages of coal due to car con-
gestion or inadequate transportation
facilities has asked the question::
Why not keep the mines running
and store the coal in piles? The
foregoing are the good and suficicnt
reasons.
These obstacles to coal storage
mean that coal cannot be mined
until there is a quick market for 1t.
The demand for domestic coal for
heating and cooking is fairly steady
and can be reckoned upon, so 1t is
possible for mines to keep q fairly
steady supply of coal moving to re-
tail dealers. But for the great in
dustrial consumers the task Is more
difficult. Factories have boom per-
iods and slack periods. Their de-
mands for coal vary. The result is
that the coal to fill a large order for
a mill or a public utility is not taken
out of the ground until the coal
company has obtained the order.
In boom times when factories are
running full blast, the orders come
in fast. Then follow feverish efforts
to get the coal out. But here an
| other factor enters. 1t is no use to
bring the coal up above ground un-
less cars are available to take ii
away. With everybody demanding
coal at once. the railroads cannot
