uT1LLzlEs coMMLssIoN,s WIDE POWERS.

1a HE Interstate Commerce Commission has been pointed out
as "a body exercising powers greater, perhaps, than any other
public board in the United States, or the world. But with
in the jurisdiction of the State of New jersey the new Public ltll
ties Commission, whose powers begin today, possesses even amper
authority. Every railroad, trolley, electric light and power, gas,
water supply, express, sewerage and other corporation, including
municipal boards, that serves the public comes under the sovereign
sway of the commission, to which the Legislature has delegated
almost sovereign powers. Until today the State commissions power
was only advisory, although in most cases it was well and effectively
used with those public utility companies that the law gave 1t Iurls-
diction over. The requests by the commission were very generally
complied with. The commissions orders are now mandatory. Under
the old law the commission had no authority in respect to rates,
and it now has the power to fix them, and personal responsibility is
placed upon officers, managers and agents of the corporations. The
change in the law is therefore of the most radical character. No
intimation has been given of any purpose to contest the law III the
courts. but occasions are bound to arise for litigation. Whatever
weaknesses there may be in the legislative act have doubtless been
searched out by the lawyers of the public utility companies and will
be the basis of a possible attack upon its consttutionality in the
courts.

Practical aud Scientific.

To the Editor of tho Evening Star:
I was pleased to read of Professor
Wiener's appointment as principal of
the new Manual Training and Com
mercial High School. AS one of his for
mer pupils ! remember my term in
physics with no little pleasure, and
think all those who were in any of
Professor Wiener's classes at the High
School would say the same.
While l was at High School Professor
Wiener was always showing the direct
relation between the scientific world
and the Industrial. For instance, some
years ago when the wireless telephone
was the subject of much comment in
electrical circles, Mr.. Wiener intro
duced two of the wireless instruments
at a lecture at South Eighth street
School and gave a practical demon
stration of them. Later, in the High
! school auditorium. he gave a short tall
about the wireless telephone and
showed the experimental apparatus to
the entire school.

machines and the like. At that time nc
gave a practical demonstration OF tht

while he was speaking the soundei

In this way Professor Wiener mas

LIV. BAD MARTIANS,

OF course you have seen him-the
fellow who sits on a beer key in front
of a barroonl and spends day after nay
telling his rum-soaked comrades about
the battles he has fought and what he
would do if the world and fate and FOR
tune had not combined to rob him OF
the opportunity for achievement.
Well, he is the bad Marian. He is
still full of fight. theoretically, and In
his day-dreams he is conducting armies
to victory or is waging war against
all the dragons of evil hal beset hui
manity, but in practise the only war
he really wages is against his own
constitution, and the weapon with
which he fights is whiskey.
That is one guise in which he APP
pears, and if you were not privileged
to see his face and hear his converse
ton to convince you of his badness
you could detect it by the markings in
his hand. First of all there are gri.les
or horizontal lines or crosses on the
mounts of Mars. Then his palm is

first phalanx. Usually. also, the head
line is defective, either in length or in
depth or clearness, or it has the pecu-
liar marking known in palmistry as
chained"
This brand of man will, also. if the
heart line is excessive Indicating
jealousy, commit murder when his af-
| fections are triied with OF if he is
swayed by passion.
If the texture of the skin is coarse
and the consistency Of the palm hard
the fellows brutality will be empha-
sized.
But no matter how bad your Mar
tan is he will not steal, like the Muir
curian, for the sheer sake of money.
He will steal, though, and commit any
| other crime that he may decide to be
necessary to further his craving for
drink or to minister to his turbulent
passions.

away the Presidents veto power and
the taking away from the courts the
power to invalidate legislation. Very
modest, indeed; the gentleman from
Milwaukee does not want much at all.
I did think before this that Victor
Berger was a practical politician, and
as such he ought to know better than to
ask at this time for such a complete
and sweeping change In our govern
ment.
A glance at various municipal, State
and national incumbents OF office will
convince II SAM man that the people
are not ready to take over the reins of
government. While I believe in a per-
feet democracy, l do not believe In get
ting it too soon. We see that the more
nearly we come to a perfect democracy
in the election of officers the further
are we away from getting ideal office
holders.
The members OF the lower house I'M
doubtedly do not come up TO the stan
dard of the Senate, who are elected by
a smaller body of men. The Senators
III turn dc not come up TO the standard
OF the members of the cabinet. who are
selected by Il still smaller body of men.
n so on. This holds true in every.
thing, The people are not yet ft to
choose wisely and sanely. Tie acts of
tho people are the acts of the mob,
which is never the action that indi-
vidual members of that mob would
perform or e~ountenance. And the
smaller the number of people WHO unite
In concerted action the less mob spirit
is there in the action.
II not by disposition, l am at least by
EDUCATION a lover of democracy. But ]
40 not eliev in a premature revolu-
tlon. Such a thing always rebounds al
the expense of the people, who have to
pay dearly for it. [ am convinced OF
the necessity of democracy. but I am
Just as firmly convinced that the people
are not quite ready for those reforms
that Mr.. Berger proposes.

that of a trained architect, such as the

right has he to even favor the granting
of a license when any lawyer will tell
him that he cannot legally do so? Ii
this alderman does not know the law,

HOW THE AUTO HAS GROWN.

n T may be said that the automobile has thriyed upon persecution.
No modern utility has had to sustain the fierce opposition that
the automobile has encountered. And witness the growth of
the industry. In 1899 the total output of motorcars in this country
was valued at s., 47S000. the production being 3,723 ears. The sta
tistics are not obtainable for any year since 1909. ten years later.
and in that year the product had increased to l27,2S9 ears, having
a value of $194, 7226 800. In 1909, also, there were 416 manufactures
producing automobile parts. The last two years has witnessed a
large increase of establishments and output. In an astonishingly
short time the automobile, which was at first greeted as a fad, has
become a great public utility. 1t has been adopted even by the
farmer and has become indispensable in business activities in the
cities. Nor has the automobile reached its final development. In
the next ten years it will have abolished the horse on our streets
and highways and it will be produced in forms cheap enough to
place il within the means of the man of small income.

pOLyDORH QUESTION BOX.

Question-Will you kindly tell me
what characteristics are portrayed by
the lines in my palms? My fingers and
palms are pink, slightly notified with
a very pale yellow. All h mounts n
tips are a deep pink. In spite OF the
fact that the backs of my hand are
thin the palms and underside of fingers
are very soft inc elastic. Enclosed
please find the imprints OF my hands.
MISS CURIOUS.
Ansver-That you are imaginative is
shown by the big Mount of the Moon
and the long headline dropping
toward it.
That this imagination finds it's sweet
est enjoyment in devising ever fresh
means of pleasure and amusement is
shown by the long third phalanges of
your fingers.
That in the pursuit of these pleasures
you employ tact and diplomacy is
shown by the waistlike formation of
the second phalanX of the thumb. AND
that you omit no detail that may con-
duce TO the pleasure which your mag
nation conjures up is shown by the
ioIS hnSSiS.
| But
| That you have to be careful lest your
health be ruined is shown by the
threatened ailments which the ISL
ands' on your lifeline and Mercury line
prognosticate.
You certainly must possess much mu-
steal ability, as the two mounts which
stand for music Venus in so far as
melody is concerned and the Moon for
harmony are SO highly developed. And
you could also excel as an author.
You have mentioned Thai there is
some yellow in the hand. This indicates
biliousness and is a serious sign, which
should receive prompt attention, If neg
lected. it is apt to result in tingeing
| your entire mental view with an un-
healthy streak, and with those of your
type biliousness is fraught with double,
nay. treble danger, on account Of the
gloom with which it fills the imagins-
ton and the ervousness and irrita-
bility it engenders.

10 The Editor of the Evening Star:
When is the increase in the cost of
Inc upkeeping of u public institutions
going to cease? Every year larger
of money are asked for the
maintenance of public buildings and
their inmates. / refer more specifically
now TO the insane asylums.
1t seems to me there are too many
frills prevailing in these institutions
II that a lot of money could be saved
If some OF the fancy expenses were cut
out and the asylurns run on a strictly
business basis.
I am not in favor of hanlpering
the administrations of the different in
stitutions in any way, but 1t does seem
that the different boards of managers
could arrange to run them so that in
creased appropriations would no. be
asked for each ear EKUD.
