WHY NoTg
An Editor says That the Architect
Of a Graceful Gown Can
not Write We'll.

An editor of unquestioned eminence
and authority asserts emphatically
that no women of real literary ability
ever dressed well, says the Illustrated
american. The architect of a grace
full gown, he says, could never be the
author Of a clever book, the power to
achieve one annuling the capacity for
accomplishing the other.
This connoisseur of literature and
frocks continues as follows, citing his
own varied experience. that has
brought under uotice nearly every
notable writer of the day:-sThe very
instant a woman crosses the threshold
of my office, " he says, Il can vaguely
grasp something of her personality,
and am always impressed by such
trifes as hats and wells at the firstt
cursory glance. When the visitor Is
neatly shod, smartly coated, wears
becoming bangs, bonnets, etc, | know
in a flash that while she may write
acceptably, no sparks of genius burns
behind such shining ~love-locks.
Fashionable clothes and a sense OF fit
ness are fatal to true mental vitality,
and she can never hold a candle to
one of those weiredly dressed women
of talent whose mastery work | have
often learned to respect before l met
the author. Truly, ugly garments are
ne indication of ability, but genuine
brain force subtlp affects the feminine
instinct ror suitable plumage. And.
strangely enough. nearly every gifted
literary woman | know is inordinately
fond OF fine clothes, loves to discuss
rhen, and is full of confidence in her
capacity for selecting them. Such
strange shades, materials and patterns
as they combine-clumsy bonnets and
fashions the most unfiattering. Their
shoes are earnest, hats and coiffures
humorous. colors vivid. and costumes
practically unbecoming. They make
a toilet just as they write a story
take the matter seriously-weave so
fine a web of the homely
reality is utterly ignored. l can only
think of three exceptions to the above
rule.~

The County Excise Law.


The course of Governor Albeit in
declining to appoint an Excise Board
for Bergen county is a terrible disap-
pointment to the Republicans. II
completely answers their ISLANDERS
regarding the law passed by the last
Legislature. and proves that in the
hands of Governor Albeit, at least,
the powers vested in the Chief Magis-
trate OF the State by the Legislature
are sure to be used for thepublie good
alone.
The Governors position in the
Bergen County matter is that the law
was not intended TO apply to- the
northern counties in which the
matter of liquor licenses is wholly in
the control of the Courts. The
Governor very properly upholds the
impartiality and fairness of our
judiciary and declines to cast refec-
tions on it by the creation of
a body to revise its action
or conduct conflicting proceedings
In this position, the Governor is in
accord, we believe with the Demo-
cratic majority which carried the bill
through the Legislature. The I'M
derstanding ON which it went through
was that it should not operate to take
the licensing power from the courts.
The effort to do this was an after
thought on the part of some dis
gruntled Hackensack liquor men. The
Governors determined course settles
the matter. No county excise board
can be appointed except by him, and
as he expressly limits the application
arise under it, at least, during his
term.
The ease of the South Jersey coun-
ties is wholly different. The liquor
traffic there has been regulated
neither according to reason nor prin-
ciple. All the vagaries of extreme
fanaticisln have affected it. politics
have ruled it in many places. 1t has
had no consistent treatment from one
year to another, but has been up and
down, down and up in a manner
ruinously oppressive, and outrage
ously u-ndemoeratie. So long as
the operation of the law is restricted
to such counties as Camden, where
the grossest wrongs have prevailed,
the Democracy need not fear that it
can be forced into a defensive posi-
ton
"IT's all right" says the Eoening
Journal.
What is all right
Why the United States Treasury, of
course, and this is the way the Eren-
ing Journal proves it,
Payments have been heavy during the past
two weeks, but win be lighter for the rest OF the
year. while receipts Will De heavier.
What barefaced mendacity Is thisi
Payments have not been specially
heavy except, it may be. in the mat
ter of pensions. Many of the worst
extravagances of the Billion Congress
are yet TO be heard from, and the pro-
hibitive tariff has only begun to get
in its fine work, so that no one can

THE Philadelphia Press this morn
ing gives only about ten lines to the
support of Mr.. Wanamaker, in the
matter of the Keystone bank disclos-
ures. On the contrary Mr.. Wanna
maker contributes nearly three col
unns to the support of the Press.
This is hardly fair dealing; but, then,
after the latest revelations. perhaps
the Press thinks that the less said the
better for its patron. Mr.. Wanamak-
er's announcement begins thus:-"An
work and no play makes others be-
sides Jack dull" We shouldn't think
it would be dull for Jack just now,
and If it is, this is not the time for him
to loaf. He must get up and hustle.
