THE FEMALE .SHOPLIFTER.

OTIS HE arrest of two well dressed young women in "A New York
department store for shoplifting on an extensive scale shows
what the proprietors of these caravansaries of retail trade
have to deal with. Against the ordinary criminal they can md
means of protection. but the thief who comes in the shape OF an
apparently respectable, welltOd do woman of engaging address can
not be spotted by the store detective and is not watched by the
attendants among the hundreds of women who crowd the store
and fbrong about The bargain counters. 1t is also a serious thing
to make a mistake. If Il female shoplifter is under suspicion the
detective must be absolutely sure of his quarry before he makes
an arrest. With these advantages in her favor the shophftef, II
expert. is often enabled to ply her nefariOus trade with mpunty,
and the aggregate of losses to a firm by this form of theft is very
large in a wear. The female keptomaniac who may have wealth
and social position is also not uncommon in the great shopping
centres. The women arrested yesterday reaped a surprising harvest
before they were detected, and probably the ease with which they
appropriated goods made them less guarded in their operations.
And these were not professionals, either.

DESIGN AND DESIGNERS.


Designs, useful and. artistic, may be
borrowed in the art department of the
Public Library. These cover a wide
variety of subjects. The mar getting up
an advertisement for college clothes
comes to the art department for foot
ball pictures: another, who wants sug-
gestions for print goods, brocade,
linoleum, etc, gets ideas from Jap
anese tapestries, lace designs, conven-
tionalized flowers, etc. The advisa-
bility of cutting UP valuable books of
designs and mounting the plates is
sometimes questioned, but this method
puts at the disposal of artists and de-
signers material which they otherwise
could not take home to use. Generally
a designer owns the best books on de-
sign and does not need to borrow them
from a library, but the following titles
are a few of those used by students
and others: Principles of Design"

An Art Revival.


To the Editor of the Evening Star;
We have often heard of religious re-
vivals in Newark, but never before of
such an awakening in the region of
the fine arts as at the present time.
The pitiful b%uffoonery and horseplay
of those classic temples devoted to
sword-swallowers and trained cats are
now to give place to the best things
that even New York can boast. No
less han three legitimate theatres are
now being completed. while the superb
auditorium at Broad and Hill streets
will henceforth afford every facility
for ~cultivating a critical appreciation
of that sublime art of which Beethoven
was the Shakespeare. Those who have
groaned In silence over the degeheracy
that has characterized Newark in later
years will now be able to enjoy at
home what hitherto they have been
compelled to make midnight pill
grimages to New York to attain. In
other words, we will now have the
divinest of all the muses-Polymria-
at our door. 1t is gratifying to know
that Siegfried Leschziner's efforts are
appreciated, and the in which
our best people are responding to the
opening announcement is alike credit
able to the city and to the manager.
A great German philosopher long ago
remarked hat the object of all
culture Is TO create a heaven on earth.

CHANGING IDEAS OF POLITICAL REFORM.

a Y HEN the State was distreted for assembymen, before the
WV Supreme Court decided that assemblymen must be elected
on a general county ticket, a decision of doubtful correct
ness, it was held by the reformer of that day that the root of
legislative evils was the Assembly district. Abolish the district,
he said, and have assemblymen elected in Il bunch on a county
ticket and we will be sure to get a higher class of men as candi
dates. The Supreme Court decision carried out the idea and it
was hailed as a reform decision. We have had the system of a
county Assembly ticket for a number of years, with the result that
everybody wants to 60 back to the district system. The reformer
who demanded the. county system now insists upon the restoration
of the district. In the special election in 1909 the people would
have voted to restore the Assembly district if that popular amend
ment had not been craftly coupled with another which the people
did not want and would not have. But ii all goes to show that
what is hailed as reform in one year is looked upon as something
necessary to be gotten rid of in another year.

INDEPENDENTS TO BE REcKONED WITH

II N making deals with the big trusts for reorganization the adj
ministration is finding that there is a third party to be reck
oned with. And that party is the independent Industries. The
American Tobacco Company's reorganization plan may suit Attor
ney.General Wickersham, but it does not suit the Independent
manufacturers and dealers, who do not intend TO see the old
monopoly continued under "A new form without making IA fight
against ii. The announcement that eminent counsel have been
secured for this purpose is decidedly embarrassing both to the trust
managers and to the law department at Washington.

IT TALY'S course in declaring war on Turkey and attacking her,
almost without warning, is condemned generally by the press
of Europe outside of Italy, but her action differs very little
from what nearly all the great powers have done in the past when
it suited their interests. With these powers it is a case of the pot
calling the kettle black. Italy at least has been frank. She wanted
Tripoli and set out to take possession without any hypocrisy. Other
great powers in their seizures of territory set up various pretenses.
BY no better right than Italy has in TripOi France holds Tunis
and Algiers and is about to appropriate Morocco. England is in
Egypt, India and China, and Germany has a slice of China which
she seized because a missionary was killed. Let him who is with
out sin cast the first stone"

HIT BY THE TRUST INDICTMENT.

cra RUST indictments strike in unlookedfor places. The indiet
ment of the members of the wallpaper trust hits the chair
man of the New York State Democratic Central Committee.
1t is said that Attorney General Wickersham has scheduled several
score of trade combinations for prosecution, so the indictments
will multiply. Pretty soon the indictment will become SO ordinary
n thing that people won't regard it seriously, and indicted persons
will even feel some satisfaction in being in such good company.

The most ancient books are the writ

and Hesiod. The earliest sacred writ
ings of the Chinese are called the Five
Kings, king meaning web CT cloth or
the warp that keeps the threads in
their place. They contain the best say

cannot be traced to period higher
than the eleventh century B. G. The
Three Vedas" are the most ancient
books of the Hindoos, and it is be-
