suggests Reward for s,euths.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Now that Frank Heidemann has been
convicted of the brutal murder of 10
year-old Marie Smith, of Asbury Park,
and has been sentenced by Justice
Voorhees, to die during the week of May
20, it is Just for us TO give credit to
the wonderful piece of detective work
which led to the undoing and con-
fession of this monster.
The methods used by the detectives
rival the work and even go farther
thar that of the hero of Conan Doyle.
Their cleverness was told in all the
papers and should serve as an ex-
ample to the detectives throughout the
country.
Then. too, the completeness which
marked the work of the sleuths cannot
be commended too highly. Their we'll
laid plans were successfully carried out
because of their determination to ac-
complish something almost impossible.
Let the authorities of Asbury Park re-
ward the men for their work.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 19, 1911.
TREAT THE CANAL QUESTION AS A WHOLE.

VA Y HATENER may be done by the Governor ana the LeSNid
WV ture this year will probably decide the fate of the whole
canal system in New Jersey. Whatever may be done
at this time must necessarily be done hastily and inadvisedly. the
canal question is new to nearly all the members of the Legislature,
as we'll as TO the Governor. 1t has not even been debated at this
legislative session, and there have been no committee hearings on
the Morris canal abandonment bill. The canal question includes
the Delaware and Raritan canal. The sacrifice of the Morris canal
means the sacrifice of that waterway. 1t means the total abandon
ment of the State canal system at a time when all the rest of the
civilized world is constructing new canals and enlarging and i'm
proving old ones. The Assembly has passed a bill reducing the
exorbitant rates on the Rartan canal and requiring the attorney
relating to that canal, and also an opinion as to the legality of the
Pennsylvania railroad lease of the canal. The Court of Chancery
recently decided that the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company has no
legal title to the valuable new canal basin at Jersey City. Has the
company now any legal right to the lease that it has so abominably
abused? The Streitwolf resolution in the Assembly would submit
that right to a test in the courts. Neither that resolution nor the
action taken by the House in the case of the Delaware and Rartan
canal will amount to anything at this session. Canal interests
forbid. But the canal question should be treated as a whole, and
as a preliminary a State commission should be appointed to make
a thorough inquiry into the subject, gathering all the facts bearing
upon the measure of the canals and the causes for their decadence.
With this data presented for public information and for the guidance
of the next Legislature the canal question can be then inteligently
settled and without the rank injustice to the people of the State
that is contemplated in legislation at this session.

XIV. BAD J~UprTERTANs.

Bad Jupiterians are selfish, despotiS
sensualists. They live only TO enjoy
themselves and their whole ambition
is directed to this end. In appearance
they are not as commanding looking
as their brethren OF the good type. and
their eyes, too, lack the kindliness OF
expression which is characteristic of
the good Jupiterian.
They can be told by the markings In
the hand. Their mounts of Jupiter will
be found big, red and grilled with a
multitude Of criss-crossing lines. The
third phalanges of h fingers OF Jupi-
ter dndex hngers) are big, thick and
coarse looking. indicative of glutteny.
And, as a rule, the finger of Jupiter Is
also crooked and twisted.
Such persons will not find many fol-
lowers, as the good Jupiterians do.
Those who do follow them are usually
weaklings compelled by the sheer bru-
tally of the despotic Jupiterian to sub
nit. But there is no love for the leader
shown, as in the case Of the good Jupi-
terrain.
For the most part bad Jupiterians
play despots only in their own homes.
And the poor wife and children who ara
made to feel the whip and spur of the
tyrant grow to fear and hate him.
These bad Jupiterians, too, are more
exposed to the danger of drink than are
the good specimens of the type. Still,
the danger in this direction is not ABB
sent, even from the coed type, and this
is especially true when shocks of disap-
pointment come. In this case the good
as we'll as the bad Jupiterian will at
once nav recourse to drink to drown
his grief" And In many cases they
hereby muster up the necessary nerve
to end the sorrow by suicide.
But 1t has been found that 1t is only
the Observation-Disclosures Jupiterians
who resort to this means of escaping
from the tangled skein of troubles
which the inexorable duties of life have
woven about them.
Jupiterians whose fingers are knotted
are renective. And this is a safeguard
against suicide. For the Jupiterian
type is naturally cheerful, and. IL not
hurried on the sudden impulse of the
moment by the short-fingered, i'm
petuosity into so rash an act, he will
never %relinquish the hope of better
things or lose sight of the silver lining
that fringes even the blacklist cloud.

Auditor Talks on Charter.


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The proposed charter for the city OF
Newark, introduced in the Senate by
Senator Osborne, of Essex county,
comes directly from the able commits
sion which formulated it, Therefore
it is unquestionabIy a most intelligent
and practical production, worthy of
careful consideration M study by the
Senate and Assembly. But the COM
mission courted any fair criticism and
suggestions.
The only suggestion I have to offer
is in the Office of mayor. The charter
retains the mayor as an official, but it
merges him into the commission itself.
1t confers powers sufficient, perhaps,
for the office, but it doe not give the
veto power, and in my humble opinion
this is unfortunate.
1t does seem to me that this time
honored office of mayor should be
tenaciously held onto by the city. The
office should be made to stand out
separately and apart from the n
mission itself. Let there be five COM
missioners, electing their own presi-
dent, but let. the people choose n
mayor to review not only the work
of all departments, but the legislation
and transactions of the commission
also. The mayor would represent the
people directly, and some semblance of
appeal could be lodged against bad
legislation or acts of the board. Again.
the sentimental value of the old office
of mayor ought to receive a passing
consideration. He would not, under
the proposed charter, be distinctly the
real representative of the people nor
reflect, so to speak the concentrated
personality Of the people in his own
person on many festive and social &C.
casions and civic gatherings. We must
not altogether squeeze out the heart
by the mind. Every organization has
a distinctive head-the family, the
church, the corporations, the State and
the United States. Why, then, diminish
the dignity and the honor of the head
of our cities? Let us not part with
an old office in adopting new schemes
of government, yooh and sound though
they may be. Hold on to the veto
the check-rein of extravaganza In both
money and method.

BETTER PROTECTION FOR FACTORY WORKERS.

m S far as the law goes there is adequate protection for human
~ life in factory fires by the Baentine act, which has passed
the Legislature and will be signed by the Governor. The
only uncertainty lies in the execution of the law. The inspectoral
force of the State labor department has been increased SO there
will be enough official machinery for proper enforcement. The
State labor commissioner is invested by the new law with all neces
sary powers, his duties are clearly defined: and so also are the.
obligations of factory owners. There can be no more humbug com
pHance with the law and no more evasion or neglect if the State
department proves equal to its duty. The energies of the depart
ment must be put forth at once. There is a vast amount of work
to do, and unless it is done diligently and thoroughly many lives.
will continue to be endangered, for not a few factoryowners will
comply with the law only when they are forced to do So Another
factory tragedy in the State, if one should happen, would undoubt
eddy be followed by a complete reorganization of the State depart
ment, with other consequences for delinquent officials.

RESERVE sAT7ALloNs EoR NATIONAL GUARD

m PLAN for reserve battalons Of the infantry regiments Of
the National Guard, to take the place of the regiments that
shall have been called into active service, announced by
the adjutant general Of the New York National Guard YESTERDAY,
is highly commendable. In 1898, when the National Guard regi-
ments, recognized as volunteers, went into service in the Spanish
American war, there was much confusion and decentralization. 1t
is proposed by this new plan to organize former officers and en-
listed men of each of the present regiments into reserve battalions,
one battalion for each regiment, to be known as depot battalions.
They will take the place of the regiments when they shall go into
active service, serve as a recruiting centre for the regiment, be
ready for duty within the State and, if necessary, become a fourth
battalion in active service with the regiment. The personnel of an
infantry regiment is constantly changing with the retirement Of
members and the coming in of new. There are enough retired off
GERS and enlisted men of a regiment to form a goodsized battalion.
rh" reserve battalions are TO be held for emergency duty only, and
1t be required to go through the ordinary routine of drill and in
spection. Many retired members of the National Guard would like
to keep up their connection with the organization in some such way
There Is at present no reserve for the National Guard to be made
available in an emergency that should call the regiments out of the
tate. Possibly the new plan will appeal to the State Military
Ioard of the New Jersey National Guard, even though that board is
ironically hostile to pew ideas.

BETTER KILL A COW THAN A BABY.

~ REMARK was made by the counsel of the Montclair Board of
Health yesterday in a suit before Justice Swayze in which
a milk company seeks TO restrain the Montclair Board of
Health from enforcing an ordinance regarding the purity of milk
sold in Montclair, that it was "better to kill a cow than a baby"
The theory of lawmakers and officials in this State in the past has
reversed that proposition. Thousands of lives of infants have been
sacrificed 70 save the profits of the milkman. Even at this session
of the Legislature a law was passed and was signed by the Governor
degrading the quality of milk by reducing its standard. The milk
mans profits outweighed the welfare of New jerseys infants when
that bill was passed and signed. In the case now before Justice
swayze a large milk concern seeks to overthrow a municipal ordi
nance that forbids the company to sell the milk from cows that are
not free from tuberculosis. The bringing of this suit shows the
utter heartlessness of the commercialism that for private profit
would subject the children of a community to the peril of contract
ing a fatal disease which the whole civilized world is seeking to
eradicate.
