The wickedne.. of Growing Oh

The Wickedness of Growing Old.
Here are the three deadly symptoms
of old age: Selfshness, stagnation, in
tolerance
If we find them in ourselves we may
know we are growing old, even if we
are on the merry side of thirty. But,
happily, we have three defenses, which
are invulnerable. If we use them we
shall die young if we live to be hum
dred. They are: Sympathy progress,
tolerance.
The first is the hardest to most Of
us. because our own little prison Of
the actual is SO immensely important to
Us. There is no denying the fact that
when you have a toothache yourself it
is hard to have to consider other peo-
pies aches But it can be done, though
it generally involves physical effort, for
we must bestir ourselves and act. The
mere feeling of sympathy expressed by
action is a poor, useless thing, but the
SOUL determined not to grow old, can
force the body to such physical effort,
though there is no denying that it is
hard work.-Harper's Bazaar

BURLINGTON county has again been
stirred by the report of an outrage said to
have been committed on the outskirts of
the city of Burlington. The supposed
crime was laid to colored man and again
the feeling against the colored race was
stirred up and mutterings of what ought
to happen were heard on all Sides But
now it transpires that there's possibility
OF the entire affair being hoax, and in
vestigations are being conducted on that
line. If this should be discovered to be
the case the punishment of the alleged
perpetrator should be.prompt and effect
i've. When the miscreants in the Biddle
outrage were apprehended they were
speedily punished That was all right
but it must be remembered that the law
is to protect all alike, the poor as well as
the rich, and it will be simply an act of
Justice to discover the guilty party in this
last affair and have him made an example
of that will show the colored population
that they will not be prosecuted or made
to answer for sins for which they are not
responsible. The crime in itself as it now
appears is bad enough, but to attempt to
throw the authorities from the right
track and bring odium upon a race that
has enough on its shoulders is hejnous.

The Smart Set has fairly outdone itself
in the March number, which marks the
beginning of the sixth year of its exist
ence. The complete novel is "The Prin-
cess Elopes," by Harold MacGrath, an
author whose immense popularity is due
ia the fact that he is born story teller.
Mr.. MacGrath is at his very best in this
charming tale of a European princess and
young American medical student 1t is
delightful blending of romance and
delicate humor, touched everywhere with
the deft hand of an author who has mas
tered his craft. Nothing better of its
kind has appeared in magazine in many
month. Among the dozen short stories
in this number about half are by authors
who have been either entirely unknown
hitherto to magazine readers or are lust
coming into prominence. 1t has ALWAYS
been the avowed policy of the Smart Set
to encourage young authors, aad this issue
proves the wisdom of the policy. One of
the best stories in the magazine is ga
| Venial Offense," by Norvell Harrison. In
marked contrast to its humor is the power.
full and dramatic motive of Beatrix De
marest Lloyd's "a Man Unlearned." Viii.
| liam Hamilton Osborne's ''The Transfer
of ThorneYeroft" is a strikingly clever
and satlr1cal story OF phase of smart
society, and "The Transit of SOUL" by
Frances Aymar Mathews, is so strange
and unusual that it defies classification.
Other stories, equally clever, are by Kate
Jordan, Van Tassel Sutphen, Clinton
Dangsrfeld, Julia B. Foster and Algernou
Tassin. Maurice Francis Egan has an en-.
PERTAINING and timely essay on Questions
of Precedence" in which he discusses the
laws that govern social usages in Wash
| ington. The verse in the March Smart
Set is of remarkably fine quality, and in.
cludes characteristic work by Madison
Cawein, IONA Gale, Arthur Stringer,
Florence Wilkinson, Gouverneur Morris,
Edith NJ. Thomas, R. z Munkittrick and
John Vance Cheney. If the Smart Sci
maintains the standard of this number
even approximately for the coming twelve
months. the future success of the maya
zine will be as sure as its past.

ELSEWHERE there is letter from one of
the best legal minds of Burlington county
which plainly shows the duty of the
County Auditor in cases where he has
reason to believe the claim is not legal
and should not be paid. In the instance
of the bill for stone roads on which the
Auditor has suspended payment, the
statement is plain that the contract does
or does not mean something. and as it now
appears the Auditor has nothing to do but
TO go by the terms of the contract. The
fact that the Board of Freeholders orders
bill paid does not govern the Auditor.
he was elected for the very purpose OF
criticising and passing opinion upon all
acts OF the board. The argument that a
contract by the Board of Freeholders, H.
legal, though innocently SO, must be paid,
is not upheld by the law defining the
duties of the Auditor. If such were the
fact it would be easy to have contracts
made without stint, and then fall back on
the plea that, having been made in good
faith, they should be honored That
would be dangerous precedent.

An Insane Locomotive Engineer.

Ioc,r,otiya engineer on one of the New
Wi, state railroads has Just been COM
lnItted to an asylum for the insane. SINGS
the discovery of his affiiction the fact has
been disclosed that for at least six months
past members of his family have been slls-
pIcious of this condition. for he has been
acting uueerIy. Nevertheless no move was
made 10 have his mental state examined
and he has been running fast passenger
trains almost daily.
This incident suggests that there is not
a reliable system of inspection in Ike case
of railroad operatives, upon whose mental
and physical state depend the lives Of eat
numbers of people. These men are exam
ined as TO their health and certain ouah-
fcatious. such as color sight, before they
are accepted as trainmen, but there seems
10 be no provision for periodically ascer-
tanning whether they are up TO standard.
1t is common experience for engineers to
undertake so much work that they break
down from exhaustion. Sometimes such
collapse causes a wreck, and the fact Is
later disclosed that the engineer has been
running fifteen hours or more a day
Much more important is the physical and
mental condition Of these workers than
that Of almost any other class of men. The
slightest bIunder. SO highly organized and
so greatly congested is the railroad sew
ice today, may result in collision costing
scores Of lives. The railroad corporations
supposedly insist upon obedience to certain
rules which theoretically prevent all mis-
haps. The machine is perfect, on paper,
but the element of human frailty is. after
ak the governing factor. and unfortunately
that clement is the very one that Is Lot
subject to the most rigid inspection. rhe
car wheels are examined at The end of
each run, and the locomotive IS roughly
looked over. and the air is tested. But
with perhaps few exceptions, the corpora
tons DO not subject their engineers and
toweTmen and other responsible operatives
TO occasional tests for sanity, nerve
strength eyeslght or other qualifications
which are vitality important in The perfect
working Of the great process.
