THE RooRBAcK

" T was on this same Monday morn
~ ing, day of preparations for polit-
IL ical battles. that Mr.. Richard
Gantry. answering a telephone
call on the long distance line, hastily
closed his desk and left his office to
make his way by quiet side streets to
the Railway club garage. Kittredge's
car was in its place over one of the
pits, and the chauffeur was polishing
the brass.
"Get her in commission in about
three shakes Of n dead lambs tail.
Haberstro," said the traffic manager
briefly. i've got to go somewhere in
a hurry. Do you want an order from
your boss:"
The chauffeur shook his head mo;
I guess it's all right, if you say so. Mr..
Gantry." he replied. And a little later
he had taken on his supply of gaso-
line and the motor was whirring mer-
riiy under the hood.
Where to-" he asked when Gantry
climbed to the meChanician's seat be-
side him.
Out OF town to the north by the
quietest streets you can find. Then
take the Quaretaro county road. We
are due at Cliffcrest inn just about
fifteen minutes sooner than we can
get there"
No more than a quarter Of an hour
was consumed before the car had
wound its way 10 the summit of the
mesa and was wheeling to a halt be
fore the entrance Of a small summer
resort hotel nerchad among The mines
at the edge Of the canyon cliff. There
were no guests on the hotel verandas
and Gantry knew that the inns sea
son had closed two weeks earlier
Yet he sprang from the car and went

The CANAL NEGOTIATIONS NEXT WEEK.

TTN RIDAY of next week is the date fixed by the Governor for
the negotiations, under the Fielder concurrent resolution,
by the Governor. the attorney general and Nj. Bennett Van
Syckel with the attorneys of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
to procure from the railroad company its best terms for getting
private control of the tdewater basin AT Jersey City, which the
Chancery Court has declared is State property. The object of the
company is also to clear the legislative tracks for the Fielder canal
surrender bill, now held in a committee of the Senate waiting the
favorable opportunity to be launched on the Legislature. So much
dust has been raised over a single political measure in the Legis
Iature that The canal question has been obscured for the people
Discussion has been tactfuHy avoided by the railroad representa-
tives, for public discussion was fatal TO former canal bills, and it
would stir up the State against this one. The purpose is to bring
il out suddenly iu the Senate, put it through in short order aud
have all the ways CREASED in the House for quick passage. The
people won't know they have been betrayed until the goods are
delivered. 1t is with every sign of confidence that the railroad at
torneys put into effect the plan of negotiation with the Governor
and Encouragement as a preliminary TO their work in getting the
canal bill through the Legislature. The negotiations are to be held
in the executive chambers, and evidently behind closed doors
They should be open and aboveboard. The State administration
should not set a conspicuous example for State. county and munich
pal boards of starchamber proceedings in matters involving public
property interests and the public welfare, and what takes place in
the negotiations is not properly a matter to be screened from the
public knowledge. There is already the shadow of an enormous
scandal at Trenton, and those who are officially drawn into the
matter of canal abandonment cannot be too circumspect.

TIRED U BY EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP.

IT L is said by the Trenton Times that there is a strong disinclina-
ton by members of the Legislature to longer neglect their
personal affairs by attendance at the State house, since twelve
weeks of the session have expired and there is no prospect of ad
journment. Even the officers and clerks are becoming neglect
quorum of the House on Thursday, and adds: "When it is found
necessary to issue warrants to compel members TO be present it is
time to end the session During the three months the Legislature
has been in session no important measure has been passed. The
Senate has received 2S3 bills and the House $40, and only a few
bills of minor consequence have reached the Governor. But why
not point out the cause of this .inexcusable delay in the business of
the Legislature and the no less inexcnsable prolongation of the
both houses. The Senate can do nothing unless the House concurs,
and what about the House? That body practically surrendered its
initiative TO the executive. 1t has waited upon his pleasure for
Twelve weeks and subordinated all other business to the one single
object of carrying out the purpose to put the Record Geran bill on
The statute book. We see in all this the results of the leadership
claimed and assumed by the executive in legislation, as well as in
PARTY affairs. And what will be the outcome in legislation? The
says, "disinclined to longer neglect their personal affairs If oidl
nary consideration shall be given only to the most important bills
now before the Legislature the session cannot adjourn until May
The Frelinghuysen school report alone will occupy the Legislature
at least "A week for any proper legislation. The question of the
Morris canal, of supreme importance TO the State, might easily take
UP two weeks. Few of the members of the Legislature have any
knowledge of the affairs of the canal or of the merits of the ques-
Hasty legislation Oh this subject would be a public crime. 1t is
unfortunate that such a condition should have been reached in
legislation in this State.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star.
Governor Wilson'S dilly-dallying with
the judgeship appointments should be
severely condemned by concerted ac-
ton of the members of the bar of the
several counties interested.
The great and important county of
Essex, where Judge Ten Eyck, of the
Court of Common Pleas, has been kept
on the tenter-hook of suspense, is
peculiarly affected by the unprece-
dented action of the States boss. Just
think Of il, Mr.. Editor, business in
volving matters of life and liberty held
up by a man who posed as the para
gon of all virtues while making his
campaign for his big job in the inter-
ests Of the dear people!'
And what is more. court business
will be held up FOR some time still to
come because after the boss has at
last had his say IN the appointments
they must go through the form of
confirmation.
Everybody who knows anything
about the courts knows how fearfully
behind they are always in their work.
Delays are always dangerous and
doubly so in the administration of JUS
tice.
/ think it Is just about time that
the people in this State elect their
judges as they do in the big State

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
The action of Governor Wilson in al.
lowing the term of County Judge Jay

any arrangement as to his reappoint-
ment or to the appointment of a sue
cessor is i~ndefensible. II any branLh

n Yet Governor Wilson's delay cam
not be explained in any other way but
that he is playing politics.
In the meantime the prisoners are the
real sufferers. At the present time
there are something over 100 prisoners
in the county jail awaiting trial. Many
of them are set down for trial early in
the April term of court, which opens
on next Tuesday. Judge Davis's calen-
der is full, and the result Of Wilson's
delay will be that many prisoners who

xxx. BLUE COLOR.

Sometimes you may observe 81
peoples nails a blush tinge. In ex-
tremely cold weather this Is apt 10 be
the case with even healthy persons
but with those whose heart action -
defective the blush tinge is present
even on a warm day.
In the latter case it is likely that
the palms will also show this color,
and in some instances instead of the
entire palm being blue there are blush
spots here and there, which disappear
at least for awhile, it, the hands are
briskly rubbed together.
Blue is never anything other tina
a health indication. Unlike white, red,
pink or yellow it has no reference to
character.
1t is caused by a congested condi-
ton of the blood. due to some defect
in the purnring apparatus--the circu-
lation Departmental the heart. 1t Is
thus merely an index of the hearts
functional troubles and not of any or
ganic ailments from which the heart
may be suffering. The latter are shown
by the heart line and will receiye ex-
haustive consideration in he sections
relating to the lines.
Meanwhile 1t will be we'll to bear In
mind that when you see the blush
or purplish color in your palms or on
your nails there is no need of becoming
unduly alarmed. 1t may be, and often
is, due to a temporary arrangement
resulting in a retarded. circulation OF
the blood.

poLyD0RE QUESTION BOX.

Question-Having become an interest
ed reader of yc r column, you VIII
greatly oblige by answering the fol-
owing questions: What you desig-
mated as the line of the head branches
out in this case in the shape of a fork,
the part turning down toward the
wrist being about an inch in length,
very clear in it's marking; while the
ascending is but one-third that size,
being clearly marked. Inside the life
line, an inch from it's beginning, is
formed a square clearly marked. while
on the opposite side is a very small
triangle, the third line being made up
of the life line. My hand is small, al
most as broad as it is long in the palm,
and is what you undoubtedly term a
square hand? J. >.
Answer-The information fs too
meagre to allow of any definite state
ments. All 7 can say is that when a
headline is forked and one branch de-
sends, it indicates the possession oil
imagination. If, as you say. this branch
is not very clear, the imagination is
probably not very marked.
The upward branch shows a more
practical ben of the mind. And the
clear marking of this, coupled with the
square hands, would seem to indicate
conclusively that you are eIninently
practical, systematic and orderly, and
we'll adapted to business pursuits.
Still, as l have said In a previous an
swer, the hand, as an entirety, cannot
be a correct index. The individual
finger tips govern; and, therefore, IL
you happen to have pointed finger tips,
the squareness OF the hand would not
rescue you from the dreamy idealism
characteristic OF those tips. I refer you
to sections 8, Z, s, . and 10, which ap-
peared In the Evening STAR from
March 8 to March 8, both dates incIu-
sive.
Concerning the square near and the
triangle N the lifeline. ] must also
grope In the dark for lack OF more
data. ] should have to know something
about the quality of at least the lifeline
whether 1t Is long, short, deep. shAi-
low. clear, broad, narrow, chained,
broken, or the like.
In general, ! can say that squares
are a good sign, usually indicating g.
repair of some defect or shortcoming.
Triangles also add strength to the
qualities indicated by the place they
are found. But, sometimes, what ali
inexperienced student considers q trl-
angle may really be an island. which,
on the lifeline, signifies delicate health.
If your triangle" for instance, were
an island" 1t would make the reason
for the presence of the square more ap-
parent. 1t would then mean that a
threatened long period of delicacy Of
health would be averted or overcome.

Semaphores Don't solve rranlc Riddle.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
The proposed system of semaphores
at the orner of Market and Broad
streets seems to me a clever idea IN
ceived by the Public Service to blind
the eyes OF the public n the city
officials to the real need of the city
for improved transportation facilities.
Instead of semaphores we need more
cars n car routes, and only by di-
verting the traffic from Broad and
Market streets can We settle the con-
gestion problem. semaphores would
not make cars less crowded; they
would not take any cars off the two
busiest streets in the city, nor would
they replace the Kinney street bob
tails with decent conveyances.
We are tired of trickery by the Pub
lie Service and tired OF having the
city officials kowtow to the lords OF
the railroads. Senaphores look very
pretty on the blue prints and give the
people something to talk about, but
they will do us no good.
Just now there is a bill in Trenton
prepared by William Muagle, of the
Board of Works, that will force the
trolley company TO make tlalf-iniie
connections wherever the officials
think they are necessary. In that way
we can divert some OF the traffic now
on Broad and Market streets to the
advantage of everyone. BY. the pro-
posed bill we viii be empowered 10
open East Kinney street, Washington
street, Mulberry street and many other
streets for real street car service.
We are growing daily, almost hour
ly, but the people fall to realize 1t. No
semaphores for Newark; better and
more street cars is what we want.

TTa HE age of "a should be the limit of service in the National
Guard, and no officer under that age who is not physically
able to endure the fatigue of actual campaigning should be
retained in the service. There are exceptional men like old Field
Marshal Butcher who are capable even when long past the age OF
three-score years and ten to lead a squadron in the field. Butcher at
that age was a redoubtabe warrior. But such men are too rare to
be considered. The average man at "a is unfit for military service
and should be retired from any active command. The New Jersey
National Guard has also suffered from average in its government.
It's affairs have been dominated by officers without mental yigor
who have taken no interest in improvement and progress and have
been content to go on in the old rus and according to the old
rontine without any desire for change and wholly opposed to any
thing that looked like innovation. The Meyer retirement bill pre-
SCENTS an opportunity to retire the crustacean officer. and with some
honor for his services, and afford the State Guard a chance to de
velop into a real military force. It should go through the Legis
Iature afying.
