Pinkflam had proposed and been re-

laxative mood, a mar sitting opposite
in the smoking-car attempted to draw
him into conversation. At n moment
the stranger would, with an excess ot
politeness, apologize for calling Piak-
hams attention to the fact that the ash
of his cigar had fallen on his waistooat

At length Pinkham exclaimed; Why

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
AS usual the arrest of one or two
labor leaders is the signal for a series
of outpourings Of wrath and language.
The papers are full of what this or that
labor leader said or might have said;
or what this employer said or might
have said
Such matters should not be permitted
to be made an issue between Capital
and Labor" These men will be tried
fairly, in all probability. II they are
guilty they will be punished; II inno-
cent, they will be acquitted. Making
Of this an issue ~infarnes the passions
Of an overwrought people and simply
serves to make the feeling between the
classes more intense.
The effects of the Meyer. Haywood
and Pettibone trial are felt yet in
some circles. There is no doubt at all
that at that time both sides became 50
intensely p~rejudiced that all reason
was lost and the attitude of both sides
was shameful and almost unbelievable

p0LYDORE QUESTION BOX.

Question-My thumbs are very thick
but short on the part where the nall Is.
The other part OF the thumbs between
the two joints is nearly twice as long
Can you tell anything about me from
this? THUMBS.
Answer-Meagre as the information
Is which you have vouchsafed me,
there is nevertheless enough given to
make 1t clear that though o make
up your mind with a most ferocious
earnestness to do things, you rarely. If
ever, quite reach the sticking point,
for, at the crucial moment when all
depends upon quick action. you sit
down to think the matter yer again.
And, though you may at first have
seen clearly what to do in order to sue
coed, you will begin to conjure up diff
aculty after difficulty and will ponder
each In turn until the opportunity for
action has passed away.
TOO much mind is, for the practical
purposes of life, almost a greater
handicap than too little mind. This is
exemplihed in the old adase Fools
rush in where angels fear to tread"
And often enough we find that these
rash fools carry off the best prizes in
life, while the hesitating ponderer is
"dished'' of everything.
Question: send you q rough sketch
or my left hand. Can you tell what
the lines signify. If you find this
too much of a puzzle, do not take the
trouble to answer. Please tell hat
disease I am subject to. Thanking you
for your trouble in advance.
KING.
Answer-The main lines are not
shown clearly enough to enable me to
tell whether they are chained or broad
or deep and consequently any reading
from them would have to be more OF
less guesswork.
However, the position of certain
chance ines which you have marked
down Is sufficient to allow me to tell
that a strong attraction toward artistic
matters is indicated, and that your
heart has been greatly influencing
your head.
Health defects are and,
II the two lines ending respectively
with a cross and a star are correctly
placed in your sketch, they indicate
grave intestinal trouble.

THE PEOPLES RIGHT TO ELECT.

cTa HE only elective State officer in New Jersey is the governor.
Ii The comptroller and treasurer are chosen by the Legislature
and all other State officers are nominated by the governor,
who chooses the judges of all the State. county and district courts
as well as the prosecutors in all the counties This system was
devised in 1914 by the men who also contrfved the plan of Senate
representation, which gives control of the Senate to the repre-
sentatives of one-fourth of the States population. The intent was
TO keep power from the people There has been much talk in the
State of restoring power to the people. but nothing has been sad
of their right to choose the principal officers of the State govern
ment. In the selection of these officers, in the appointment OF the
judges of the courts. the people are in no wise consulted. The
appointments are privately made and, without any previous
information of their character, they are sent TO the Senate for
confirmation. The appointments this year were delayed until the
Legislature was about to adjourn, and we're then sent in in bulk,
permitting no time for criticism. If the people are competent to
eject a United States senator, why should they not be equally COM
petent to elect an encouragement a State comptroller, a member
of the Public Utilities Commission or even a member of the
Judiciary? The logic of public elections of United States senators
holds good for all other important officers

@ANE of the principal difficulties of party managers of late years
w has been that of getting men of character and standing as
candidates for office. Obviously the primary object of nomi-
rating a candidate is to elect him, and party managers recognize
the fact that to insure that object the nominee must be a man to
command support at the polls. Very often a nomination goes beg.
ging. Will the most desirable class of candidates now voluntarily
come forward for nomination in the primaries and undergo a pi-
mary election campaign? If not, what kind of candidates will the
people have to choose from? And if they are all of the indifferent
kind the nomination will be Hobsons choice. A party will be sad

NEW JERSEYS NEW CANAL ENTERPRISE.

0Ta HE proposed Bay Head to Manasquan river canal for which
the Legislature has appropriated $150O0O. is to be one hun.
dred feet wide and six feet in depth, giving passage to
vessels of considerable size. The route laid out for the canal is
marked by a chain of lakes and the land is nowhere more than four
feet above the water level. Ancently Squan river, which empties
into the ocean, flowed into Barnegat bay, AMI the old bed is occu-l
pied by the chain of lakes. One effect of the canal is expected to be
TO make the waters of upper Barnegat bay salt enough for the
growth of oysters and clans, which will give to the State a large
revenue from the lease of oyster beds and be of great benefit to the
oyster industry. For the purposes of commerce the canal, in con.
nection with the South Jersey inland waterway, with which it will
connect. will be invaluable to the State. 1t may be remarked that
as this is a State enterprise, paid for by the State, railroad interests
cannot secure control, by lease or otherwise, to destroy it's useful
ness to the public.

SUBWAY IMPROVEMENT POSTPONED.

N MOTHER years delay in subway building is necessitated by
n the failure OF the subway bill in the Senate after it had
passed the House. There was no reason for any opposition
in the Senate to this bill, and it failed to pass after it had been
reported in the Senate on the last night of the session. But why
should the city of Newark be compelled TO 60 to the Legislature for
authority to make a great public improvement, demanded by the
cityis necessities? Why should members of the Legislature from
Cape May, Sussex and Cumberland have better judgment in our
local affairs than the authorities and people of Newark?
