Writes Poem About the Sphinx.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In view of the late solution of the rid
die of the Sphinx, I send you the en-
closed poem, the result of careful re-
search and much study, of the medieval
history of Egypt. Yours very truly.
r. L. JOHNSON.
THE SPHINX" :.
The Sphinx looked out upon the placid
Nile,
Before the Pharaohs lived, or Carthage
was,
Or Rome; twas old and gray with
years when God \
Revealed on Sinai's top the Decalogue
To one of Lewis tribe; and there 1t
stands,
Mute as the mummied universe OF
death,
A sentinel Ger old Egypt's countless
dead.
While man digs up a Pharaoh now and
then
Whom it once saw in animated form
Six thousand years ago., it will recall
The mighty king or priest who pros
trate fell
Where since Carnbyses and Napoleon
stood
And pondered at the monsters stateli-
ness,
While its colossal, parted, stony lips,
Gave forth no answer TO the victor's
call.
Its quizzing ~countenance, still answers
not
The quest of ages, Monster, what are
thou?
And so confronting all that lives, there
a dumb, and silent Sphinx, whose rid
die deep
Is never well OWNED, though all the
lore
And sermons of the ages help the quest,
A dark enigma that no man may solve.

XVII. BAT SATURNrANS.

There are only two types of hu@
mainly from the ranks of which come
the born criminals. These are the
s~aturnians and the Mercurians. Not
that there are not a great many crimes
committed by members of the other
types. But with the latter crime il
something adventitious; it is the result
Of circumstances and environment,
while with the Saturnians and Mer-
curtains of the bad class crime is native
and sought after as something desir-
able.
And this is a remarkable corirma-
ton Of the awful havoc which bile pro-
duces when it runs riot in the system.
For Saturnians and M~ercurians are the
only naturally bilious types. and they
are constantly exposed to the danger OF
bile getting into and yitiating their
blood. So while some of the greatest.
srandest and best of men are
Saturnians, such as was Abraham Lin
coin, you will find. conversely, that
when the Saturnian is bad he is a very
dangerous criminal. For his is the
malignant badness that gloats over
the injuries he inficts upon others.

that most remarkable Geran election
bill. foisted upon the people, will i'm

care to, that there will be just one vote
along the lines of the blanket ballot.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT IN NEW JERSEY.

0Ta HE last important act by the State Legislature was the enact
ment of a bill providing for a scheme of commission govern,
ment for such municipalities in New Jersey as may choose
10 adopt ii. This is the most advanced step in legislation that has
ever been taken in New Jersey. 1t means municipal revolution.
Wherever adopted it will completely wipe out a political order Of
things whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary"
1t changes the whole principle OF municipal government. Power
now divided among elective boards and official heads is centered
in one small executive board and in a mayor who is a member of
that board. Responsibility now scattered is concentrated. In effect
the plan of commission government is a partial abandonment OF the
democratic principle. II is Il recognition of the claim that the
duct Of their public affairs. But it has long been felt that the
affairs of a municipality should be divorced as much as possible
from partisan politics. The administration of a municipal govern
nent is a business matter, and should be conducted according to
business methods.

Cars Galore, EXCEPT WIN. Needed

WC DAccpt Wnen Needed.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Where do all the trolley cars come
from? Usually when citizens complain
that not enough cars are run the COM
pany officials say that every available
car is in use at all times, and that as
soon as more are purchased the run
ming time will be cut down.
| always believe what the.
says, and therefore 1 was greatly sur
prised when l. say a string of cars at
the ball grounds today, and also no.
ticed that the other lines were not
crippled. Where do all tho cars come
from? Does the company tell the truth
when it says hat all available cars
are used at all times, or have / beer
deceived?
Really, If the company owns all the
cars that were used to take away the
fans from the ball grounds, then there
should be no necessity for ten-minute
waits on most every line when the
traffic Is heavy, as 1t is on rainy DAYS.
There were enough cars in use for FAN
purposes to strengthen every line in
the city.
The Public Service has enough cars
now. 1t need not buy more to cut the
running time. We ought to have them.
and if we put up a strong kick we will.
Who is with me?

THE LAST MOVE BY THE wA7EP-sN4kE.

NV EW JERSEYS Representatives in Congress can be depended
AN on to defend the interests of their State against the con.
certed and combined assault upon its water conservation
policy by the East Jersey Water Company and war department
officials. The stPangeness and furtiVeness of the proceedings taken
by federal officers call for a searching inquiry. Congressman Nc
Coy, who has taken up the matter in vigorous fashion. has TOW
introduced IN the House resolutions calling for the production of all
papers on file in the war department and the department of Jus.
tce. Whatever may be developed by this inquiry the efforts of the
New Jersey representatives should not be abated. Precious public
interests in this State depend upon the outcome.

FIELDER BILL DOESN'T GET A VOTE.

q ENATOR FIELDERS corporation bills have not met with
~ much favor ut this legislative session. His railroad merger
bill, though youehed for and in that way gotten through
the Senate, did not get a single vote in the Assembly. The Assem-
bly, evidently did not take much stock in the voucher. There were
fortythree votes against the bill and not a single vote in its favor.
The Fielder bill was intended to enable any foreign railroad cor
Poration 10 secure control of a New Jersey railroad corporation and
take the New Jersey company out of the jurisdiction of the State.
The suspicion that there were other snakes concealed in the bill
explains the vote in the Assembly by which the Fielder bill was
so heavily sat upon.
