swallow. They have made UP their
minds that we common people do not
know what is good for ourselves; that
we have not sufficient intelligence to
know in what way or manner we
should use our franchise, and they in
tend to do with us as is done in Rus
STA or In our State prisons-make rules
and regulations for our guidance and
conduct.
Start the curfew bell ringing again;
put US all in uniform: create a
monarchy in our state; do the thing
right, or don't do 1t at all.
If they believe that the ordinary
people have sufficient common sense to
vote for their representatives, and that
is acknowledged by them in their in
sistence that the direct primary be ex-
tended TO every electoral Office, then
be sincere and believe that we haze
gray matter enough to know how we
wan to vote.
We wan popular government. and
We are ready to prove it by giving a
popular decision on this election law.

A REAL LABOR LAW NOW.

0AOR many years organized labor has knocked at the doors of the
New Jersey Legislature with appeals for remedial laws and
as ii rule, instead of bread, labor got a stone. 1t is melan-
choly to look over the enactments of different legislatures and see
the absolutely worthless laws that were passed as sops to the labor
vote. The factory inspection law was the most pretentious labor
law passed by the Legislature. What it really was in intent and
effect was to give a number of political jobs to favored party work
ers. The High street factory fire showed the worthlessness of the
law. There has now been passed by the Legislature an act of real
benefit TO labor. 1t is the Senate bill for employers liability, which
enables every employee in any occupation 10 recover adequate dam
ages for injuries, damages being recoverable also by his personal
representatives. in case of his death. BY the Edge bill this liability
of the employer is a part of the contract of employment. As a
matter of course. workmen who by intoxication or intentional act
or gross carelessness shall cause injuries TO themselves will have
no claim under the law for any compensation. Moreover, the methods
provided for obtaining ii judgment are simple and inexpensive, and
the workman is therefore protected from the arts of the legal
SINISTER. Whether the courts shall sustain the new law will be a
matter of some doubt until "A decision is rendered. In all prob
ability the courts will be appealed to on the question of consttu-
tionaity. But the fact remains that the New Jersey Legislature
has at last passed a real labor law for the benefit of labor, and that.

Don't Like Geran aaIlet.

To the Editor Of the Byenlng Star;
One look at the sample o p of this
ballot which would be the outcome of
the Geran election bill ought to satisfy
everybody that on the ground of bulk
alone such a monstrosity should not
be allowed to live in this rapid fire
age. 1t should be strangled at birth,
because it would only be a burden to
those who fathered it and no amount
of political quackery can give it a right
to exist in any event.
Its makers should have gone a step
farther n increased the ballots to
such a size that before those Of one
election nave been counted the next
election is due. These kind of ballots
may serve a political purpose and may
be fat" for the printer, blu the aver

poLYpoRE QUESTION BOX.

Question-There is a wide separation
between my head line life line at
their source.
Ny little fingers are also widely sep-
arated from the ring fingers of each
hand. What is the meaning of this3
J. r. p.
Ans wer--Head and life lines are usu-
ally united at their source on the edge
Of the hand between the thumb and the
little finger. When, as in your hands,
they are separated, great Independence
OF spirit is betokened.
This is emphasized in your case by
the separation between the ring and lit
tie fingers.
Such a combination bespeaks an uI1-
usual degree Of fearlessness of the
opinion of others insofar a your con-
duct is concerned.
If the other markings IN the hand
are good, this disregard Of convention
alities is based upon what you are
convinced is right.
If, however, the markings are bad
it is not so much principle as an utter
indifference to what good people might
think that prompts a defiance Of es-
tablished customs.

xxxIu-E,ASTc CONSISTENCY.

There is a softness of the palm which
is strikingly distinct from that OF the
pudgy laziness. 1t Is a resilient, springy
softness like thai of a new rubber ball.
This is called elastic consistency
and Is an assurance that the hand in
which it is found is in~telligently active.
To such Is not applicable the Solo
monte saying, yet a little sleep. yet q
little slumber, yet a little folding OF the
hands in sleep; and so shall poverty
overtake thee like a galloping horse
man." This and the "Go to the ant,
thou sluggard,' were intended for the
pudgy palm.
Your elastic handed person is wide
awake. alert and ever ready to go at
whatever he considers advantageous.
Such people are not o~ver-active, how
ever. They are not seeking work
merely for the sake OF doing something.
Their activity Is conditioned upon true
utility. Unless they are convinced that
there is some useful end or purpose In
the work, they will not voluntarily per-
form 1t.
But. once persuaded that there is q
useful purpose in it, they will emulate
the beavers In their toll.

COMMISSION TO BUILD The PLANK ROA!

eTa He present bad odor of the present freebooter board in Hud-
son and the boards holdup of Plank road paving with the
demand that the material shall be wood, although the manu-
factnrers and transportation agencies that use the road for their
teams demand the use of stone, suggests the advisabilny of taking
the work of repaving out of the hands of the freeholder boards alto
gether and giving it TO ii competent appointve commission, prefer
ably selected by the courts of the two counties. The Essex board
is determined that the wishes of the users of the Plank road shall
be complied with. The Hudson board, for reasons not disclosed,
holds obstinately to its demand for a wood pavement, and the two
boards are deadlocked. 1t will be entirely to the credit of the Essex
board if it shall pass a resolution nemorializng the Legislature TO
pass an act for the creation of a commission to take entire charge
Of repaying. The graft already shown in the work on the Plank
road bridges is also an argument for a commission. With a com
mission in charge the two counties will not only get Il better built
road. but a cheaper one.

and stringent as to cause everyone who
is moi deeply interested in politics to
stay away from the polls, and to dis
franchise everyone who las not had the
opportunity to obtain a High School

1t seems to me that the public should
have an opportunity to know Just what

election methods, and 1 feel that the
people should have the right to deter
in which they should use their right
of suffrage, for it must De remembered
that the only rights a citizen has are
to vote, and then pay his taxes.
That these advocates of the Geran
bill are not sincere was demonstrated
Tuesday, when Mr.. Record was asked
If he was in favor Of submitting the
proposed law to a popular vote and
give the people an opportunity to de-
eide for themselves, and he evaded the

GUNNERs' LICENSE TAX REMAINS. :

1Ta HE defeat in the Assembly yesterday of the small potato bill
repeating the act for a 81 license for resident gunners prob
ably settles that question for at least a year. This nominal
tax is cheerfulIy paid by the thousands of sportsmen throughout the
State. The objection comes from a few parsimonious farmers and
villagers to whom a dollar looks as big as a cart wheel. The tax is
the principal income of the State Fish and Game Commission for
The preservation of the game of the State and the cost of restock-
ing. Formerly the expense was borne by the State treasury and
was a serious annual charge upon the State. If there was no game
protection not only the game, but all kinds of insectivorous birds,
would quickly disappear. The most eager butchers would be the
individuals who object to paying a dollar a year for the privilege of
killing game. A selfrespecting member of the Legislature ought to
be Ashamed 10 father a bill of such a character.

1TE HE National Guard retirement bill, parsed by the Assembly
Yesterday, is not now likely to meet effective opposition in
the Senate. There would be no opposition if personal con
sideratons and social ties among a number of influential officers of
the National Guard did not stand in the way Of the bill. The more
than four thousand enlisted men of the National Guard and prac-
tically all the subordinate officers who are not near the age of retire
ment want the bill passed, and every citizen of the State who de
sires to see the guard maintained in a way TO make it a real mill
tary force favors the bill. As for reasons, there ire reasons aplenty
for the bill and none whatever against it. The situation of the
guard under the Interpretation of the Constitution by the Court of
Errors is simply ridiculous. The State Guard is exposed to ridicuie
as well as to serious future consequences as long as this situation
is permitted to exist.

A BALLOT.

1Tn HE average voter in New Jersey has no idea of the ballot that
will be imposed upon him under the terms of the Record
Geran bill. A sample of the ballot has been printed In The
STAR. but as printed t very inadequately represents the ballot as
ir will appear in the hands of the voter. New Jersey for many years
has been accustomed TO the convenient Werts party ballot, carried
in the vest pocket. The proposed new ballot cannot be packed no
Il vest pocket. 1t is 219 inches by II! inches in dimensions, and a
few of these ballots would paper the walls of a room. In the cleo
ton next year the ballot will contain 35 names of candidates, and
the man who votes the ballot must make thirty.one marks upon II.
This feature of the Record Geran bill is visible and tangible to the
voter who may not vet comprehend the real meaning of other even
more objectionable provisions that will be in offensive evidence
when the act goes into operation.

avenue to testify it's sorrow and to register its protest against the
criminal neglect of government to safeguard human lives in their
working places. In silence the great multitude marched through

silence was the most eloquent feature of this pageant, which wildly
called to mind tbe heartrending tragedy which inspired il.
