SCHOOL.

A man in Chicago-who has a the
%effrontery to critcsise our school system
says that although his boy has been
through the High School, he can neither
read nor write; and that the only thing
that he can do Is to make a large toy
elephant. The boy can make one of
these elephants, however, almost every
d~ay--when he happens to be in good
condition.
This man thinks that our children
should go to school for the purpose of
acquiring an education, and that read
Ing and writing are useful accomplish
rnents which ought even at this late
day to be encouraged.
We shouldn't mention this little mat
ter If the man hailed from anywhere
except Chicago; but any mar who lives
In Chicago ought to be more up to date
than this. We expect better things
from him.
The idea that our children, by going
to school, should learn TO read and
write was at one time a common
notion, and was held by respectable
people who were otherwise a credit to
the community.
That 1t is still persisted in by a mar
from Chicago only shows that this Is
the strangest country in world, in
which all sorts of abnormalities are
constantly cropping up.-Life.

A JURY COMMISSION PROPOSITION AGAIN.

m r every session of the Legislature the attempt is made to
n secure the passage of a bill taking from the elected repre-
sentatives of the people all power over the selection Of grand
juries and giving the power to some official or board selected by
the governor. The plan most favored by those who want to take
from the people all control of the grand jumes is to invest the
power in judges appohntive by the governor. The grand jury sys
tenn was instituted to protect the citizen from arbitrary and unjust
prosecution. All serious criminal charges must first be passed
upon by a jury of the peers of the man accused before he can be
arraigned in court and subjected to trial. 1t would be anomalous to
have this jury chosen by a trial judge, and especially one appontive
by a political partisan governor. The power thus given could be
baneully used. The experiment of a jury commission has been
tried and gave so much dissatisfaction that it was abandoned. A
bill of this character has now been introduced in the Assembly,
and the Assembly should make short work of it. When the people
of New Jersey want TO surrender their traditional right TO have
grand juries selected by their elective officers they will petition the
Legislature TO that effect. No popular request has been received
by the Legislature this year.

THURSDAY EVENING. MARCH 80. 1911.
COMMON SENSE NOW SSER7IvE AT TRENTON.

eTa HE sturdy common sense that has stood out against the ex'
travagant propositions for electoral changes proposed in the
Record-Geran bill has already secured some notifications of
that bill and will resolutely stand for more. 1t is evident now that
members of the Legislature who want to do their duty conscien-
tiously and who were at first inclined TO favor the proposed legisla-
ton have materially changed their views. 1t had been confidently
predicted that the Senate majority, like that of the House, would
be controlled by the wishes of the executive. If there ever was such
an inclination by the Senate there has been a decided change of
view. Next Tuesday the Senate committee on elections will give a
public hearing of the bill, and it is now probable that as a result
of that hearing the committee will report a Senate substitute
emitting the most offensive features of the bill passed by the House.
There are | .hccrahc members of the House who gave their votes
for the bill under strong protest, and TO these Democrats the changes
made by the Senate will not be unwelcome. They voted for it
in the hope that the Senate would amend out of it the provisions
that they individually disapproved of. At the Senate committee
hearing next Tuesday, which, unlike the numerous conferences on
the bill prior to its passage by the House, will be public, the OBJ
jections to the bill, as it was imposed on the House, will be voiced
without any restraint and with all the yigor of honest conviction

Plan to Enforce ractory Law.

Plan TO Enforce Factory Laws.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
1t seems to me that every newspaper
that I have read is anxious to prevent
another catastrophe like the one that
occurred in New York last week. The
editorials on the subject and the news
columns in The Evening Sta which re-
cite the improvements that lave been
made in buildings and the improve
ments that arc about to be made have
convinced me OF the sincerity Of the
press. / have a suggestion to make,
therefore, that l hope win be adopted
By your paper:
One of your reporters should inform
himself on the requirements Of the
building rode and the factory laws, and
should pay q visit to all the factories
in the city and report the condition of
each.
II the factories are in good condition
ne should say SO in the columns of
your paper and compare them with the
conditions in factories that do not meet
the requirements Of the law. He should
also talk about those factories that con-
form with the State and city ordi-
nances. but which in his opinion are
not safe for the employees.
There is great need for work Of this
kind. and the newspaper that would
undertake to maxi I, these investigations

"No Separate ~Osteopnth Board"
To the Editor Of the Evening star:
A headline in this mornings paper
reads that the "Osteopaths win a par
tial victory I sincerely hope tina 1t
remains only a partial one. There is
grave danger in providing a special
examining board for the osteopaths
alone. 1t will reate a temptation that
one or both boards will sometime find
it hard to resist.
The ~osteopath and allopath are nat
ural enemies, and by creating p
rate boards, competing as they do,
there is the danger of more applicants
being allowed TO pass the examination
than would otherwise pass. OF curse
the present arrangement is unfair be-
cause it puts the fate of all ~osteopaths
who desire to practise their profession
in this State into the hands of people
who may not be entirely disinter-
ested.
Under the proposed measure we may,
in time, be confronted with a situation
like this. The ~osteopaths feel at pres
ent that their doctrine would gain a
stronger foothold If there were more
opponents of their theories. A separate
board, rejecting opinions of the body
at large, it is conceivable, may pass
more applicants than are entitled to
pass under normal conditions. In view
of the fact that ever now there are a
large number of incompetent, dishon-
est physicians, this would be an I'M
fortunate state of affairs, indeed.
1t seems flying in the face of Provi-
dence to create temptations; we are
only human, and to create temptations
that may put human life in danger
would be q grave mistake.
An arrangement that would be fair
to all would be to have the examin-
ing boards composed of an equal num-
Der of osteopaths and allopaths.
If, in the judgment Of the legisla-
tors, o~steopaths are entitled to prao-
tise, and l am arguing neither for nor
against that, let us not create a new
board, but put them both on the same
footing. + close with the sincere wish
that the proposed bill may not pass.

XVII. PINK COLOR.

Jolly, cheerful, kindly disposftfoned
and with q pleasant word for every
body-such are the men or women of
good character and mind, who have
pink-colored palms.
They are normal human beings. such
as nature aimed at when she set about
to produce perfect creatures. They are
healthy. bright and full of life. For
the blood courses through their veins
in a full, rich, well moderated stream.
whereof each corpuscle performs its
duty with the precision OF q we'll
drilled soldier.
Life to such Is bright and agreeable
and they attract and are attracted by
others.
They have an abundance of sympa-
thy and are gentle and indulgent
toward others.
They are the kind that go into the
hospitals and the slums to carry light
and words of good cheer to the unfor-
tunate ones And their notions OF char
ity are not of the peculiar kind that
prefers giving a million dollars to a
city, while revolving at the idea of CIV
ing a single dollar TO any particular

is supplied with good blood in 8 we'll

too little.
Such must have been the gentle
Saviour's hands.
And, for the benef1t of those whose
charity is warped by fantastic notions
of a pseudo-philosophical complexion.
be it said that He made no exception
as to the class OF poor that were to
be assisted.
"Give unto the poor" He said. Yet
many of those white, red or yellow

in their professions OF being His fol-
lowers have seen fit to amend His in

poor"

Unless he is swayed by i'll advice he
will instinctively live up to the rec

with as pleasant a mien to the un-
