WEDNESDAY, EVEN NC. MARCH %. 1911


IT 7 is with some beWiIderment that the public looks upon the
Fielder resolution passed by the Legislature authorizing a
State commission TO treat with the Lehigh Valley Railroad
canal basin at Jersey City. II was only the other day that the
ChancerY Court of this State, after taking all the evidence. de-
cIared in emphatic terms that the canal basin belongs to the State
and that the railroad company does not possess the shadow of a
right TO the property or even to the Improvements made on it. The
people of New Jersey respect the Chancery Court, its decisions
and DEGREES They believe with the court that the canal basin
is State property. They ask why this commission, proposed by the
railroad eompanys lawyers, and evidently a trap set for their pur-
poses? There can be no denial of the fact that the canal charter has
been criminally violated by the canal lessee. Violation of the
charter legally involves and compes forfeiture, and forfeiture of the
charter means the surrender by the railroad company of all rights
and all property belonging to the canal. With the charter forfeited
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company will be a trespasser on the
canal basin at Jersey City, and can be ousted in short order. That
piece of property will revert at once to the State and become an
asset of the State school fund. A concurrent resolution has been
introduced in the House authorizing the Encouragement TO bring
suit for forfeiture of the canal charter, and it hangs fire. The first
step that should be taken by the Legislature should be the passage
Of that resolution. Everything else relating to the Norris canal
should wait until the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company can prove
TO the satisfaction of a court of equity that it did not by it's acts
wreck the canal. Until it does so the State should have no com
merce with it. A trustee charged with a criminal act in the admin
istration of his trust should purge himself of that charge, and the
Streitwof resolution presents that opportunity. But are the
negotiations of the commission and the railroad attorneys to be
open or secret?

NV ATURALLY, the objection offered in the Senate Monday night
AN TO the resolution authorizing an appropriation of half a
million dollars for a right of way across the State for the
ship canal to be constructed by the Federal government was made
by the intrOducer of the bills intended to complete the work of
wrecking the canal system in this State, the ground of objection
being that because the Morris canal has been wrecked by its lessee,
the railroad company, inland waterway transportation in this coun-
try is impracticabe. Everybody is now familiar with railroad hos
thy to waterways and the reasons therefor. The Panama canal
would have been built and in operation long ago.if the great enter
prise had not been fought tooth and nail by a railroad lobby at
Washington at every session of Congress. Railroad influences
sought TO prevent the construction of the great barge canal in New
York, and these interests are the great obstacle today to the de.
velopment of waterway navigation in the Mississippi valley and
along the Atlantic seacoast. We are conscious of the same power
full influence in opposition TO the development of the Newark bay
front and meadows. But the Senate resolution pledges the State
TO aid the great enterprise of making a great shipcanal link across
New Jersey, and that act of the State will eventually prove to be
the most fortunate in its results of any act of the Legislature in
the last fifty years.

THE TALK OF ADJOURNMENT.

0H HERE is an evident desire among the members of the Legis-
lature to adjourn. The session has already occupied the
average time of legislative sessions in the past, and it is
natural that men who have given three months to legislative work
should become FESTIVE. Up TO date not one of the important meas
ures of the session has been passed, while hundreds of bills of more
or less public Importance are congested in the committees of the
two houses, and most of them hopelessly stranded. There have
Just been introduced twentyfour bills by the Frelinghuysen investi
eating committee relating to reforms in the school laws. These
bills are of supreme interest to the people of the State, and they
demand the best thought of the Legislature. The subject of thee
bills is certainly not unworthy of a special message by the Gov
ernor, and no attention has been paid to it in a quarter obsessed
with a single idea that has been the stumbling block of the legis.
latye session. If the Legislature shall fulfill its duties the session
cannot end before May or June, but the legislators cannot well be
blamed if they decide to quit after they shall have enacted the three
or four show bills of the session.

XVII. WHITE COLOR.

A tall, graceful woman m day
called to consult me. Her dress and
speech betokened good taste and re-
f1nement. Her demeanor was that Of
a typical ''grande dame" She had very
artistic and, yet, withal, strong hands;
but one glance at the palms showed me
that she must be extremely unhappy.
The three principal ~lines-that OF the
heart, which is the uppermost and
nearest the fingers; the head line,
which is next and runs parallel TO 1t
across the hand, and the life line.
which makes a semi-circular sweep
around the base Of the ball of the hand
all three were rent and torn in many
places. And the palms themselves were
of a pallid, CHASTITY, white hue.
When I had told her enough to con-
vince her that my reading was not
mere guess-work, she confided to me
that the cause of her u~nhappiness was
that her husband was more attentive
to other women than to her.
And would you, in turn, know the
cause Of this" I asked her. She was,
OF course, anxious 10 KNOW
ut is solely because you act repel-
lantly toward your husband. You are
distant and not affectionate enough,
and he has concluded that your love
for him is lead II, indeed. he does NOT
doubt it ever existed"
How can you tell this 2" she asked.
1 pointed out to her the pallid color
of her palms.
"They signify coldness," I said. you
are entirely lacking in ardor. 1 hope
you will pardon me for being so frank,
but you are too dreamy, selfish n I'M
emotional. What you need, madam, is
not a palmist. but physician"
And my reason for telling her this
was because her heart was In a weak,
fiabby condition. Its muscular strength
was next to nil and it pumped in a
feeble way the little quantity of blood
which she still possessed In her ar
teries.
That vas why the palms were white.
for the blood scarcely reached far
enough to show through the surface of
the skin.
This little tale will enable you to
understand just how a feeble heart ac-
ton will manifest itself In the palms
and also in the nails, which are even
more transparent windows through
which to observe the blood's cir
culation.

bigger Navy Favored.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
In a recent issue of the Evening STAR
you printed a letter from one of your
readers signed Foresight in which
the advisability of increasing our navy
was made evident. 1 agree with Fore
sight" in every detail he mentioned,
and I would like to a a few things
on the subject myself.
The fact is that some of the leading
papers in the country are urging (edi-
torially) the construction of a larger
navy as soon as possible. 1t is pointed
out how Japan, swelled up by her vic
tory over Russia, might attack the
United States on the Western coast.
figuring she would be able to do ire
parable damage before we could check
her.
That is what causes all the war talk
of today. When our leading editors
urge the building of a larger navy, is
that not evidence enough, in fact, a
confession, that our navy is altogether
too small for our large country? 1t is
pointed out that with several large bat
tleships blocking the way of the too
industrious Japanese they will form
the most effective pe-ace-persuader that
can be brought about.
VIII Congress refuse to appropriate
a sum sufficient to build the navy we
would need in case of war? If the clash
with Japan does occur, will not the loss
in life and property soon %overwhelm
the cost of all the battleships we would
need to convince Japan we are not to
be fooled with? NEVES.

suggests Means TO End Horrors.

To the Editor of the Evening Star,
The proprietor of the Asch building,
in New York city, where SO many peo-
pie lost their lives. declared he was not
compelled to install more 1re-escapes,
because his building was classed fire
proof" There is no need to dwell on
the fearful consequences of this made
of the local manufacturers might lie
called to this matter with profit.
Many factories in Newark lack the
proper number of Microscopes and fire
fighting apparatus. Their buildings are
fire proof" and there is nothing to
burn, or worse still, they are called
''slow-burning' buildings. In thes,
factories there are generally tons of in
nammable material-but that is not
part Of the building and is movable.
Then, of course, there are the employ
ees, but they can take care of them
selves-if they get a chance.
1t ought to be within the jurisdiction
of the Newark Common Council oil
some commission composed of New
arkers. to regulate a factory and build
ing laws of this city. AS it is now
when there is a disaster such as tbs
High street affair every official in the
city puts the responsibility up to some
State law, which, he claims, cripple:

be stopped. There is no earthly reason

poLYDoRE QUESTION BOX.

: Q~uestion-Is there any practical use
in paimistry? l should think it is OF
nc value except as an amusement. Is
it? Is it anything reliable? l mean
can / be sure when / see a short life
line" that a persons life is really going
to be short? CURIOUS.
Answer-The laws of palmistry are
not yet sufficiently established to
enable us to stamp them as quite as
reliable as those of, for instance, as
tronomy or any other branch of mathe-
mates. But they are, approximately,
perhaps, as reliable as the laws of
some of the branches of medical
science.
Now, what normal person would be
so ill-advised as to reject the minis
trations of a doctor simply because
medicine is not yet as lnfallibly Ger
tain as mathematics? And so likewise
with palmistry, for, properly consider
ed, it discloses not only our shorrcom-
ings, but our abilities, and thus sup
plies us with means for removing the
obstacles thai strew our path toward
success and happiness.
In regard TO the short "life-line,' I
can only repeat what l have already
said several times in this Question
Box, namely, that a short lifeline does
not imply a short life. 1t is merely an
indication hat the muscular vitality
will last during the period shown by
the length of the line and that after
ware " vitality will take its
place.
1t is, at best, solely a threat and
herein you will find n of the uses
of palmistry, that the knowledge of
such an impending danger enables you
to take precautions to prevent it's oc-
currence.

whether it be the union or the coin
pany.
The city certainly ought not to suffer
for any differences that may arise oe-
tween the respective parties. 1 am
quite certain that the city pays enough
to have the work done properly and
promptly.
Whichever it be the work ought to
go on, and the differences adjusted
some way. The Central Commercial
and Manual Training High School is
badly needed. and ought to go on. l
am quite certain that if the men are
assured that any reasonable demands
will be satisfied they will return to
work. Let the matter be investigated
quickly and whatever is lone should
be done at once.

NV OTWITHsTANDING the novel decision by the Court Of
AN Errors and Appeals to the effect that an officer of the Ma.
tional Guard cannot be retired for age, no matter how old
and useless he may have become, it is not now likely that the ques
ton will ever come up again. Nor should it in any such shape as
it did in the Campbell case. A bill. that provides for the objection
by the Errors Court has been introduced in The Legislature for the
retirement of officers for age by verdict of an examining board.
But in the granting of commissions hereafter the officer will be
expected to coneede the right of the military authorities to retire
him for age or disability.

LOCAL OPTION PERSISTENCE.

INCIDENTALLY the subject of local option came up in the
Ii Senate Monday night and was quietly disposed of. Local option
has been rejected so decisively at successive sessions of the
Legislature and in elections by the people on this issue that there
would be wonder at the persistence of its advocates in thrusting
the question upon the Legislature if we did not have presented the
example of the Prohibitionists, who year after year go through the
than the Socialist vote.
