HOW THE RECALL WORKS nv TACOMA.

1S ACOMA is working out the experiment of the recall in munich
Ii pal government, The idea of the recall was adopted by
Tacoma with great enthusiasm, but this has sensibly abated,
and with reason. Three recall elections have been held in six weeks
and another election is scheduled for May 10. In the first election
80 per cent. Of the vote was poled. In an election last Tuesday only
80 per cent. of the registered vote turned up at the polls. 1t is
expected that the percentage will be still lower in the next election.
The principle of the recall system is admirable. If a public officer
or a public board shall fail to give satisfaction in the discharge of
their duty and if public criticism effects no improvement in their
ohiciai conduct it is proper that such official or board should be
retired and replaced with new men, But the recall system is open
to serious objections. The most sincere and capable official may
give ofense to a class of voters and thereby be subjected to the
test OF a special election to decide whether or not he shall be re-
tanned in Office. Spite and malice might be the only motives of such
an election, and influences could be exerted to retire and discredit
the best public servants. Frequent elections such as are now wit
messed in Tacoma are a public injury. Besides the constant expense
they entail, these elections have the effect 10 make an Indifferent
electorate. The American people are a busy people, and they do
not willingly give up so much of their time to affairs of govern
ment. 1t is well to note the effect upon Tacoma of the recall system
before we adopt it in New Jersey.

objection n Foolish One.

To tie Editor OF the Evening Star:
/ read an item In the STAR referring
to Rabbi Silberman's objection to the
use OF Shylock In the schools. He says
that Shylock was not a Jew, that the
immortal Shakespeare simply catered
to the basest passions of the people In
order to gain the plaudits of the mob"
Lest there be any mistake as TO the
spirit in which I am writing this, let
me say at the outset that I am one Of
the chosen people.
In my opinion the Jews invite a good
deal Of trouble by constantly carrying
a chip on their shoulders. They draw
the sectarian line too sharply; they re-
mind other people constantly that they
are Jews, and that there Is a great
difference between them and everybody
else. This spirit of ace division, Of
antagonism as much as anything else,
makes for trouble. and we have only
ourselves to thank for II.
To object to hat great play on that
ground is the height OF absurdity. On
the same ground Englishmen might OBJ
ject to Richard Ill.," Danes to Mac
beth" Italians might also object tc
1.-THE Merchant of Venice" as 1t corr
tains undesirable Italians.
I assert that we are doing this all
the time, and 1t is not doing us any
good.
Some time ago the Jews objected tr
the Lords prayer being used in the
public schools. At another time there
was an objection to keeping the schools
open Friday night on the ground that
the pupils wanted to go to the syns-
gogue. AS a matter of fact, the at
tendance at the synagogues has moi
increased on Friday night at all. Now
suppose there We're seven sects in this
country who celebrated their Sabbath
on seven different days. In order &c
please them would we keep the school:
closed altogether? How many of tbs
people who advocated the closing OF this
schools on account of the Jewish Sab.
bath refrain from business OF worl
themselves on Saturday?

My wife and two children will suffer

because Governor Wilson Is putting

we expect this when we voted for
Wilson? Is Wilson to be the next
President?
Honestly. If Wilson should by some
chance be elected to the presidency
then the poor man ought TO seek a
home outside America. He ought to
go to Canada, where they give away
land, and where the government takes
care of it's people. I am by no means
a reactionary. 1 believe in progress,
but ! did not expect progress to shape
itself as 1t does.
Governor Wilson is a great disap-
pointment. He Is not the friend OF
the workingman, and I am beginning
to see why the unions opposed his nom
ination. We want progressive men in
office, but we do not want impulsive
unreasoning men at the head of the
State government. It. NJ. k.

LM. MOUNT 0E VENTS.

Mature was in her ~rnerriest, sweet

toned the type of humanity which is
the big protuberance which constitutes
the thumbs third phalanx. the So
called ball of the hand. For no other
type Is SO beautiful or cheerful or
good-natured; nor has any other type
SO great a capacity for deriving or dis
tributing pleasure.
Opposite each other on the palm,
nothing can be more diverse in charac-
ter or characteristics than the Mount
Of Venus and the Mount of the Moon.
The latter is cold, selfish, unsynl-
pathetic. The Venusian is ardent, al
truistic and full OF kindness and sym
pathy.
II the Mount of Venus is very large.
bulging up like a ball and is smooth,
that is, has few or no lines, it shows
great ability for music of the melodic
kind. and a fondness for flowers and
beautiful things in nature.
The ardor Of the Venusiar is shown
to be heightened when there are lines
on the mount. And If these lines are
very numerous and form a grille by
criss-crossing one another, the degree
of ardor is excessive.
Still higher is the flame of affection
famed when red color is added to a
grilled Mount of Venus. And If, in ad-
dition, the palm is very hard and the
fingers short, smooth and comic, your
Venusian is more than likely to be a
voluptuary.
And now let us swing back with
the pendulum to the other side and
consider a deficient Mount of Venus.
It is deficient either if it is very fiat
instead of ~protruding, or else If tina
life line which encircles its base runs
so closely to the thumb as to make tho
mount narrow.
In either case there will be a lack
of warmth, an absence of sympathy, o.
melody. of fondness for flowers or for
other beautiful natural objects.
But 1t Is SO much more pleasant to
dwell upon the lovable qualities of thu
venusian himself than upon the minus
qualities of his brother of the deficient
mount.
The Venusian is the handson1est type
OF humanity, and in his respect is tho
exact antithesis of the Saturuian, who
Is the honneliest one.

A STATE DETECTIVE SYSTEM.
Mi ANY atrocious crimes in New Jersey have gone imp
AVN because they were committed in small municipal

MI ANY atrocious crimes in New Jersey have gone unpublished
AVN because they were committed in small municipalities in
rural or suburban districts, where there was no effective
police force. One o. these crimes was committed recently at Lake
wood. A woman was found barbarously murdered in a piece Of
woods. II is questionable whether the murderer of this woman
will ever be apprehended. A plan of a State detective department
was projected several years ago. BY the proposed system the State
would have the use of county and municipal detective forces. If
a heinous crime was committed in any small municipality the State
could call upon the detectives of any county and put them on the
case without delay. This system would obyiate the necessity fer
maintaining a separate State detective force. 1t would also tend to
make the local detective departments in the State work together.
Pennsylvania has a State police system that has some detective
features. New Jersey does not need a State police, as it does not
contain a large and often turbulent mining population such as
Pennsylvania has, but our State does need a State agency for the
detection of crime and criminals. Lying between two great cities
with large criminal populations, New Jersey is peculiarly exposed
to crime. The State leaves the municipalities to deal with it.

have given the best part of their lives

ernment's obligations.

In the mind of the writer there are
eminent who are more deserving OF
pensions than the postoff1ce clerk or
carrier. He gives the best that is in
him during the best time OF his life
to the government. Even in the Gil
lett bill the fact that the men deserve
pensions is not questioned. But 1t
would be unjust to ask the other EN-
ployees to stand for 1t being taken from

SOME PROPOSED PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

C ONE large necessities of our city figured in the action by the
~ Common Council finance committee last night, when up
wards of nearly a million dollars was tentatively pledged for
public improvements. The need of a building for the Board of Health,
in which all its departments of work can be established, has long
been felt. The amount of rental saved will go far toward paying
interest on the bond issue and Centre Market will be relieved Of
the nuisance of the dspensary now located there. Concentration
of the various agencies of the Board of Health will also make for
greater efficiency. The project of a new almshouse on a new site
depends upon the getting of a site. and there's the rub. 1t may be
apprehended that the $350,000 of bonds authorized for the purpose
will long remain unexpended. Increased and improved accommoda-
tions for the fire department are essential, especially a central fire
station. By the sale of the city lots in the old burying ground prop
.erty all the proposed fire department improvements may be paid for.

SUBWAY THE ONLY PERMANENT RELIEF.

Pts HE withdrawal by the Public Service Corporation of the propo
Ii sition to build a subway or to rent one if the city should
build it does not unfavorably affect the proposition. The
city can go ahead and build q subway, anyhow, and, as it is
the only practicable plan of permanently ending the street traffic
congestion in the centre of the city, the trolley company cannot re.
frain from making use of a subway, if built. Street traffic con
stantly increases in a large city with the growth of population, and
it outstrips the means adopted to provide for IL. No matter what
new avenues of travel may be opened, any relief that may be at
forded will be partial and temporary. We shall soon be back to the
old conditions. The only plan for permanent relief is the subway.
