Ring ON Third Finger.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Is there any special explanation Of the
fact that a ring is usually worn on the
third finger? CURIOUS.
: ron this subject an ancient authority,
Aulus Collins, a Latin writer of the sec
ond century, is often quoted. In his
''Noctes Atticae'' he ays ''Tradition
says that the old Greeks wore a ring on
that finger Of the left hand which is next
to the smallest. And 1t is also said that
men in Rome were also for the most part
in the habit of wearing rings in this fash
ion. The reason of this is attributed by
Apion in his Egyptian writings to the fact
that, when human bodies were cut into
and opened, as was the custom in Egypt
(called by the Greeks 'anatomising'). 1t
was found that a certain very slender
nerve made Its way toward and right
up TO the heart of man from the very
finger of which we speak, and hence II
was not considered foolish to single out
for such adornment a finger which seemed
so closely and intimately connected Win
the hearts own substance."-Ed.1

The evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1907-1908, 1907-07-22

The new regimes at the various State capitals resulted un-
doubtedly in a good deal of freak legislation. For instance,
the Two-Cent Fare bill passed in Pennsylvania and other States
was of more than doubtful wisdom. But such things came as
. a not unexpected reaction due to the long repression of the popu-
lar will by bosses who farmed out their political power to the
railroads and their affiliated corporations. What the voters should
end such an intolerable condition of affairs was inevitable,
Roosevelt or no Roosevelt, although it is certain that Theodore
Roosevelt's policy and preaching helped greatly in Fastening the
day of assumption by the people themselves of the power which
they had heretofore delegated to others.
Is it because of any of those things that the money kings
dread President Roosevelts continuance in power2 Would they
seek to intimidate the voters into a reversal of the policies
indissolubly associated with the administration Of Theodore Roose-
Ivetf If SO, let US hope that they will cool off and reflect a
little. We are going forward, not backward, and they might
as well try to initiate King Canute as to stop the trend of events
in this country. Wrnging of hands, walls of distress, and cries
Iof panic will avail nothing. The people know what they
want and mean to have it. And it may even come to pass
that the really conservative business men of the country will rise
up to bless Theodore Roosevelt for his influence in ..preventns
radical and unwise legislation. If the Fates are kind to him,
and to us, he is likely to be the great balance wheel of the
country for years to come, because the people know and trust
him. J. M.

Let US run over the list, briefly

Presidents action was not for the best interests of the country
and that it had the support of eoe out of every 1000 persons ?
President Roosevelt urged and brought about reforms in the
meat packing business. The packers were wrathy to the verge
of -speech1essness, but undeniable conditions demonstrated that
the public health demanded the changes made. For a time
this may have unsettled the packers business, but that was the
fault of those responsible for the evils complained Of. And to.
day the business is in better shape than ever before.
President Roosevelt insisted upon the fearless enforcement of
the Sherman Antitrust law; he called attention to the weak
spots in that law, and he succeeded in having a Railroad Rate
Act enacted. His purposes were to stop rebates and all dis
ordinations and encourage competition, and the abest railroad
in the country who are not spectators are coming to I'M
derstand that even from their point of view something of the
kind was necessary. Passengers and shippers are in accord
with those laws and support their enforcement. Instead of work
ing hardship or injustice they work for equality and fair play,
and they protect honest railroad managers against their unscrupu-
enforced, the Standard Oil monopoly could never have been
created, nor would there be a Meat Trust or Private Car Trust.
President Roosevelt is accused of responsibility for the wave
of anti-corporaton legislation which has been sweeping over the
country. Most of this legislation has been aimed at the rail
road companies. The critics seem to forget that it was them
selves and their agents who suggested State legislation. In
protesting against Congressional action they argued that such
dvidua1 States took up the question where Congress left off.
Then the railroad managers discovered, much to their surprise,
that they no longer controlled the State Legislatures. Before,
their word used to be law in Albany, Trenton, Harrisburg and else
where. But the voters had unfastened the leash and serve d
notice on the political bosses that railroad dictatorship in State
affairs had come to an end.

PRESIDENT AND HIS cRr7Ics.

We are told by business men high up in the world of finance
that the denomination of President Roosevelt, or a man pledged
to maintain his policies, would bring about one of the greatest
panics that this country has ever seen-that banks would stop
credit, manufacturing plants close down and the whole machin-
cry of commerce and industry be paralyzed. These men
evidently believe what they say. Their opinions and predictions
are expressed with earnestness, if not xehemence, and are
made in private conversaton-not for publication.
The evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1907-1908, 1907-07-22

What has Roosevelt done that his continuance in Office,
or the perpetuation of his ideas, should provoke such disaster !?
The only answer is that she has interkred with business,
harassed capital and assumed the leadership in sociaishc agita-
ton that is causing a general feeling of insecurity"
That, however, is very vague-too vague to be of much
value to the man who is sincerely anxious to put his finger on
specific acts of offending which could reasonably be construed
as antagonistc to legitimate business. We all know, in a gen
erl way. that the financial autocrats have opposed pretty nearly
everything that President Roosevelt has done, or suggested, but
surely they would not have us believe that all the things to
which they made objection were calculated to undermine bust
ness or destroy that confidence which Is its main support
