Fighters Live Glenn Lives.
To the Editor Of the Evening star:
A boxer met his death while In the
ring, and now the authorities are get
ting busy bestirring themselves to stop
this brutal game" Why the death of
a boxer should make the game any
more dangerous than it was before l
cannot tell.
OF course without some show Of legal
authority ever Prosecutor Garven can
not stop fighting; and If he has the
authority he also had it before, and
1t would appear that he did not dc his
duty by allowing fighting to go on
right under his nose.
1 cannot help being suspicious about
an officer of the law who will permit
fragrant violations Of the law n only
bestir himself when such an accident
will occur. 1t seems too much like cur
rying public favor.
Suppose a man met his death play
ing chess, what then?
1 think hat the position taken by
the prosecutor in this matter Is en-
tirely illogical. Speaking of the fight
ing game itself, 1t is a pastime that
should be encouraged.
Nothing is more worthy of emulation
than some Of the virtues of the pro-
fessional pr~ize-fighter.
Probably some of the nice old ladies
who raise their hands in horror at
brutal fighters would be very mucn
surprised II they heard that these tight
ers, IL they are good ones, lead I've
that are worthy of almost anybody's
emulation and could be proftably imi-

They do not smoke, drink or use any
drugs; they keep regular hours ano
the state of their bodies is a JOY tc
behold. AS a matter of fact, a mar
must not go to excess in anything II
order to be a good fighter and remain
one.
Suppose a man dies occasionally? i
seems worth 1t. II the. life of n mar

SATURDAY EVENING. MARCH A. 1911.
THE NINTH WEEK OF THE SESSION.

ora HE ninth week of the legislative session will begin on Monday
night with all the important business of the session yet to
be transacted and practically nothing done in the way of
legislation. Upon whom devolves the responsibility? Not the
Senate, which has displayed some diligence, If the House is cen
sured its members may Justly say that they have not been free
agents. Governor Wilson has nominated to the Legislature four
bills that he is personally interested in and demands shall be
passed. Eight weeks of the session have transpired and the House
is as yet in the dark as to these bills. 1t has been announced in
the same authoritative quarter that the most important of the four
bills is the socaIed Geran bill, and that measure has been withheld
since it was introduced, and assemblymen have no knowledge of it
except what they gather from vague reports in the newspapers.
Announcement is made to them through this medium that confer
ence changes have been made in the bill, but they are uncertain
about the truth of these reports. Puzzled and mortified, the ma
jomty members have asked a conference with the Governor, neces-
sarily by appointment, and it has been granted for Monday. Prob
ably, therefore, their uncertainty, at least in respect to the Geran
bill, will be ended on Monday night and they will be permitted to
legislate as well as they can under the unusual circumstances. But
if the steam-roller is not put. in play in the ninth week of the SEES
sion, how long the session going to last?

Board Of Trade banquet. And l also
take it that the governor in his speech

Gle. This being the case, / would like
to ask him, as a Monmouth county
Democrat, whose vote he received, If
he will also answer through you paper
the questions which / shall ask in re-
gard to the obnoxious Geran bill: What
is meant by the increased remuneration
of election officers? And what is meant
by a different grade of election officers?
And. in your judgment, would a civil
service examination eliminate from that
office men If a dishonest character!
You ask your hearers: Nov, how are
the officers going to be appointed?" You
say: Don't let US, gentlemen, even In

PoLYD0RE's QUESTION BOX.

Question-Who discovered or invent
ed palmistry, and is it something new?
LEILA GREENE.
Answer-Palmistry, in some form or
other, has been practised from time
immemorial. But 1t was d'Arpentigny,
a French army captain in Napoleonic
times, who reduced palmistry to at
least a semblance of a science.
D'Arpentigny rejected all the ira
ditional fortune-telling features of
h art n collected data which
enabled him to classify humanity
into seven types according to the
shapes Of their hands. He found
that those having approximately the
same kinds of hands were similar also
In character and disposition and even
in inclinations. His system is the
basis of the system expounded in the
Evening STAR. What the seven types
of humanity are and how they are dis
tinguished from one another will BIO
told in later sections of these articles.
It is perhaps the most interesting
branch of the science.

VII. spATULATE TIPS.

One day a little boy walking along
a. street the driveway Of which was
being ~asphalted suddenly stopped and.
with a rapturous look at the men who
were earnestly engaged in their smoke
and-fre-emitting work. said to his
mother: Mama, I low they"
He used the word they instead of
"them," for he was not old enough yet
to know the niceties OF grammar. But.
then, what his speech lacked in cor
rectness 1t made up in intensity. and
he really looked for all the world as
If nothing could have bee closer to his
heart thar those smoke and >soot-be-
grimed men. His mother could not
understand just why he should, nave
singled out such a Withholding lot to
bestow his affection upon and asked
him:
why is 1t you love those men, my
darling?"
"Dey work so hard" replied the lad,
his face all aglow with enthusiasm.
This is a true story. And I ought
to know. for the little boy was my own
son. And just why he SO greatly loved
those men who worked so hard I will
also tell you. He had s~patulate tipped
fingers, n tips of this kind denote 4
nature chuckful OF tireless, irresistible
activity-one who Is always ION the
CO."
Spatulate tips are so named from
their resemblance to the spatula, or
broad bladed knife with which drug
gists spread plaster. You N mis-
take them. They nave a decidedly far
ing appearance at the very tip. They
are accordingly the broadest tipped
fingers, and seem to convey the Idea
of grit and constancy by their very
appearance.
And spatulated- fingered people really
are full of tenacity and c~onstancy, and
are ideal in this respect In matters of
the. heart. They are not vacillating.
notwithstanding all the marvellous
activity which makes them seek every
conceivable avenue for expending their
energy.
They have scant sympathy for
dreams or dreamers. Nothing idealis-
tic appeals to them. What they like IS
something tangible, particularly If 1t IS
coupled with plenty of activity.
They are practical people, but not
given very much to following any pre-
scribed rules. They are inventive, and
consequently like to depart from tradi-
tional ways of doing things. And they
are h original, which is apt to render
them exceedingly independent both in
religion and politics. And they are
as a rule quite hard to manage.
Worldwide is the difference between
this type and the pointed-tipped ole
which will constitute the subject of tbs
next section.

so-called by you, honest election
officers, because there are some,
as stated by you, dishonest? The
honest man In this case must
suffer, because we have not a
law; OF, If we have such a law, 1t is
not in force. As to the dishonest cleo
ton officer, in my judgment, the honest
election officer should be protected, and
his remuneration be increased as a re-
ward for his honesty, and the law 80
amended as TO reach the dishonest cleo
ton officer. You say that in order to
get satisfactory elections you must
have trustworthy election officers. If
you, cannot get men of high grade and
of trustworthy character, the whole
process Is vitiated at the root. On this
point we concur in having our elections
conducted in an honest way, but pass
such an act as to punish the guilty and
protect h innocent. Do not attempt
to pass a law that would eliminate hum
dreds of honest and capable men that
are willing to act in this capacity. The
other obnoxious features Of the Geran
bill / shall not mention, as you did not
touch on them. 1t is hoped, however,
that the Legislature. when acting upon
the different sections of the bill, will
wipe out the obnoxious features, so
that when it passes both houses. and
reaches the executive, 1t will not be the
Geran bill, but will be a bill of the peo-
pie and for the people of the State.

NEWARK'S OFFICIAL LOBBY AT TRENTON.

1TT HE attendance at sessions of the Legislature of official repre-
sentatives of the Newark municipality to watch legislation,
examine all the bills that are introduced affecting munich
paities and determine how they might apply to Newark has been
a great value to our city. Every bill that is introduced undergoes
the inspection of this legislative committed and if it relates to
municipalities it is analysed to determine its exact character and
whether it might directly or indirectly affect our city. In numer-
Gus cases proposed legislation that would be detrimental to New.
ark has been killed or amended by suggestion of the committee. At
the same time legislation needed by-our city requires spokesman
at Trenton, and the legislative committee acts in that capacity
Sometimes bills introduced in the interest of Newark may clash
with those of other cities, and it is requisite that there should be
somebody with authority on the spot to harmonic these differences
if possible. 1t may %truthfully be said that the city of Newark was
never better represented at Trenton by a legislative committee of
Newark officials than at the present session.

INDIFFERENT RECORD OF CONGRESS.

eTTa HE record of the Sixtyfrst Congress that went out of exist
ence at noon today is by no means a brilliant one, and be-
yond the passing of the appropriation bills the seasonal
work shows little that the country can congratulate itself upon.
The best part of the record of the session is its freedom from sins Of
commission. The criticism is made upon our system of national
legislation that between the time when a new Congress is elected
and the time for the new Congress to meet a session of the old Con
gress is held and senators and representatives who have been re
iected and often rebuked at the polls take part in legislation, and
may be enabled to shape the policy of the government contrary to
the wishes of the popular majority. The late session shows the
justice of that criticism. President Taft took a lesson from the
November election. Men in Congress who failed of reelection be-
cause of their acts and votes at the first session failed to do so.
There was no mandate for them in the election results, and they
helped to make an almost barren session at the close.

A WARNING AS TO CANAL LEGISLATION.

II EFT there be no dismemberment of the Morris canal by sale or
otherwise, is the earnest counsel to the Legislature by
Acknowledgement Wilson and former Associate Justice Van
Syckel. The State possesses a vital interest in the canal property,
and any such disposition of the same would, in the deliberate judg
ment of the States lawyers, imperil them. Evidently the appar-
ent Indifference to the canal bill displayed in responsible quarters at
the State House made the lawyers apprehensiye that a bill or bills
affecting the integrity of the canal property might be enacted by
default, and so they sound a warning to the Legislature. The State
is indebted to these lawyers for the mastery way in which they
represented the State in the chancery suit over the canal basin that
was decided wholly in favor of the State, and it is under further
obligation for the earnest words of warning that are now addressed
to the Legislature.

NEGRO CRANINALITY IN THIS STATE.

MNF the convict population in the State prison at Trenton more
Nv than onethird are negroes. OF the female convicts exactly
onehalf are negfesses. Considering the fact that the negro
population of New Jersey is only about 81 per cent. of the total
population this showing for the race is extraordinary Against the
number of 342 negro conyicts there are only 125 from all the Ger
manic states, q from Ireland and 43 from Russia and Russian
Poland. The Italianborn population of New Jersey, which has so
greatly increased and now outnumbers all other foreign born, is
represented in the State prison by a number 127 less than the negro
race. Senator Prince, of Passaic county, takes a scholarly interest
in questions of this character, and it would be pertinent for him
to ask the Legislature for a commission, of which he would be the
aed, to examine into the causes for negro criminality.

placed in his hands, and he was COM

bitter words seemed to him sweeter than
honey. Thus he was assured that though
his work might be often grievous, he
would find the highest joy in doing it,
After the vision, Ezekiel retired to his
house for seven days, to reflect upon his
commission and the future which God had
marked out for him. At the end of the
seven days God appeared to him once
more and spoke to him in these words:
Son OF man, 1 have made thee a watch
man unto the house of Israel" He was
to be not simply prophet. speaking to
the people as a whole; he was to watch
them, guard them, be their shepherd. He
was to do individual, personal work with
them, in seeking to turn them from their
evil ways.
The work was begun. But small sue
cess seemed to attend his labors. Per-
