THURSDAY EVENING FEBRUARY 9. 1911.
HUDSON A FAVORED COUNTY,.

TT UDs0N county gave a Democratic plurality of more than
J6l $4,000 in the November election for governor. 1t is the
banner Democratic county every year. 1t is the main re-
lance Of the Democratic party in the State for n plurality. It's
politicians ar all Of the aggressive type. Hudson county has th1r-
teen representatives in the Legislature. And, finally, an influential
citizen of Hudson county is George l.. Record, who, though not a
Democrat, and only lately a Republican candidate for Congress,
has a potential voice in Democratic State affairs. Considering
these facts. it need not be wondered at that the patronage of the
governor flows so freely Hudson countyward. Until last Tuesday
common report gave the position of State road commissioner to
one of three men, none of whom lives in Hudson county. Some of
the cocksure newspaper correspondents at Trenton even named the
man, and the man was not of Hudson county. The quid nuncs in
their reckoning failed to take cognizance of the fact that in the cal
culations of the appointing power Hudson is a factor of supreme
Importance. The first appointment under this administration was
In Hudson county and so also is the last. In this last appointment
the State has been treated to a surprise. There will probably be
more of the kind and there will be no marked neglect of the county

Apparently the tangled, snarled
'bathtub murder mystery has been
unraveled. OF at least as completely as
was possible, when It is considered
the agencies al work were merely
human ones.
OF the three sisters OF mystery"
one died in jail, one began a seven
year term in the penitentiary yester-
day and the third goes free.
AS for the explanation Of the e
ing of many seemingly unexplainable
moves on the part of the defendants,
that has been furnished by the attor-
neys in the case and is plausible.
People who marveled at the remark
able features of this most remarkable
of criminal cases and then marveled
again at the more marvellous develop
ments must own to a feeling Of dis
appointment that it should be solved
with such seeming facility. Subcon-
sciously. perhaps, they regard 1t as q
reflection upon their own a~stuteness
that this case which puzzled them sc
admitted of solution-that there actu-
ally was an answer to the problem.
But even these folk feel relieved-ii
is uncomfortable that anyone should
not feel relieved-that as a lease" the
bathtub mystery has ceased to exist.

this points in most positive terms to
attack from Japan, and the pretext for
dispute being trouble in Alaska.
When this will fall out Is determined
by the suns eclipses. We have a total
eclipse April %, 1911. Incidentally it
occurs in the same place in the heavens
as the comet appeared, and again the
sun is with Saturn, but the moon this
time also there covering the sun with
its shadow.
Converted into ordinary language the
foregoing means that in about the third
quarter of the year following April 20,
1911, which begins about November l,
1911, these effects, as sisnihed broadly
in the terms war, contention and dis
pute with foreign powers, depression in
foreign trade and grievous difficulties
in relation to international AFFAIRS, will
become events.
AS a further piece of evidence we
have Mars. the god Of war, stationary
in its course October Is, 1911. War will
be the topic that will engage the Jour-
nalists.
The foregoing is briefly what the
stars say.

Astronomer Predicts War.

10 the Editor of the Evening Star:
The following is a prediction based
upon deep study of the ancient science
Of mundane astrology. 1t may hold
some interest for your readers.
A year ago we had the then APP
preaching phenomenon of Halleys
comet. 1t appeared in h constellation
Aries, applying to a conjunction with
the sun and the fateful planet Saturn,
the sur setting in the western angle
of the heavens at the time. Well,
knowing that now. / ask, why forget
1t, but rather understand the portent
of this conflguration of the planets and
the comet and its effect upon the coun-
try we view it from in the next decade.
My studies lead me to believe that

EITHER RECIPROCITY OR AN EXTRA SESSION

tn RESIDENT TAFT really has no other alternative but an
extra session if he wants to save his credit if Congress shall
fail to comply with his recommendation for tariff reci-
procity with Canada. The bill for a tariff commission is evidently
doomed at this session. With Democratic senators prepared to
talk the bill to death if it should come up in the Senate before
adjournment, there seems no chance for it. Mr. Taft can afford
to let that go if he gets reciprocity safely through. If both should
fail Mr.. Taft will be in a quandary. He will be in a position of
some ridicule, and the only escape is an extra session. He will
also be disposed in that way to punish the Republican congress
men who put him in a hole" The President has now, indeed,
made it plain to these men that Congress will be called in extra
session if the pact that he stands for is not duly ratified. And
they must know that their failure to act cannot effect it's defeat,
for the new Congress called into session in March will surely carry
aut the Presidents wishes.

A modest little appropriation of $780,
900 crept into the army bill as a Sem
ate amendment yesterday. 1t was for
the purchase of aeroplanes-war aero
planes. In a few years someone will
call attention to that modest little APP
preparation with the remark, AND to
think that in 1911 the very first appro-
prtatton for aeroplanes to be used In
war was made-a mere pittance of $685.
900. The sum appropriated this year,
when compared with the 1911 appro-
prtation, gives some idea OF the won
derful growth of the art of flying and
the marvelously rapid development of
the aeroplane as an engine OF war"
One need not be much of a prophet
to forecast a rapid journey for the
sums appropriated for the navy down
ward toward those appropriations for
ir-ships which will be rushing upward
with equal rapidity. And it is not SO
foolish TO assume that the day which
will see more appropriated for air craft
than for water craft Is not such a great
distance away.
That is, of course, granting that in
ternational peace after 1t is bought and
paid for is not delivered or even that
the purchase price Is held to be mad

public itself to Blame for Graft
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The Hudson County Court House in
vestigation only serves to emphasize
the slowness with which people learn
When will we learn to conduct our
public business as we do our private?
Such a state of affairs would not be
tolerated for an instant in a private
business.
If the vaults and doors in a bank
were left wide open and no checking
systems employed, the persons respon-
sible for the neglect of reasonable pre-
cautions against dishonesty or error
would be as much to blame as those
who actually stole.

A suggestion for the s. y. c. A.
TO the Editor of the Evening Star:
Without a doubt the S. P. c.. A. is
an admirable institution, but some of
their efforts at preventing cruelty to
animals, viewed in a certain light, are
funny. For example: The grade on
Springfield avenue from the Court
House past High street to south Orange
avenue Is a bad one, particularly hard
on horses in such weather as we have
years a man on horseback stationed
at High street and Springfield avenue
whose function seems to be to prevent
drivers passing hat point from treat
ing their horses harshly. Never In
case of a block or fallen horse la ]
seen his man offer to help. All he
does is simply to stand there and
not do. Would it not be a sensible
plan for the S. P. C. A.. or even the
city. to have a few strong, well-shod
horses at that point to relieve the con-
gestion3
When horse-cars were running at
that point the car company had horses
stationed at the Court House, which
were used to help draw the South Or
ange avenue cars up to Howard street
If the traffic at that point were TIL
concern of any single individual or
corporation, existing conditions would
not last a day, as witness h the
horse-car company did. But we eve
look after our public welfare as we dc
after our private.
Only when we arrive at that socia
consciousness which will show us tina
we can best serve our private interests

The civic spirit which was awakened
some time ago gave considerable more
evidence Tuesday night to the inspir-
ing effect that 1T is militant and pre-
pared to do things. This time 1t made
itself felt through a representative
gathering of real sta men, and IL 1t
accomplishes even half what 1t pro-
posed to do general and ample cause
for rejoicing will have been furnished.
Any proposition TO advertise Newark
properly is welcomed joyously by all
public-spirited citizens, because of an
Instructive feeling that such a cam
paign would bear fruit at once, since
the city boasts so many actual ad-
vantages to bolster up the claims Of
its admirers.
But the civic spirit which dominated
the recent gathering of real estate men
proposed to go further hal a super
fetal advertising campaign. 1t would
make over such features Of the city es

In short, the idea is TO make Newark
so attractive that 1t will be impossible
to strike an false note when singing it's
praise.

LOG ANGELES MINING REVIEW FAVoRs THIS COUNTY FOR

DECISION EXPECTED BY DIREc. TORS WHEN THEY MEET IN

The effort which has been put forth by Douglas to secure the an nual convention of the American
 Mining congress next year has
 brought fayor to the proposition from many quarters and the an.
 nouncement that Arizona has again
 led the world in the annual produc-
 tio of copper will undoubtedly re- bcund to the benefit of Douglas. The

 Arizona and that there is no valid reason why it should not be granted
 In the first place Arizona has again passed Montana in copper pro duction and is, in fact. destined to lead all other states and territories

There are very many otf CT cogent reasons why the request should be granted among them the fact that the Territory may soon be- cone a State. thus giving opportun- fly for graceful compliment from the only nat cnal organization of mining men.
