AN nePT A w THE wA7ER-sNAKE.

eTa HE underhand work of the water company interests in the at
tempt to force pipe connections between New Jersey and
Slater Island is again revealed in the filing by United States
District Attorney Vreeland of papers in a suit by the Federal gov
eminent for condemnation OF a right Of way from Bellevile to
Staten Island, on the plea that New Jersey water is needed for Fort
Wadsworth, On Staten Island. The General Securities Company"
ne water trust in this State, is financed in New York, and the men
interested in it contemplate a wholesale exploitation of New Jersey
waters for commercial profit. New York financial influences are
strong at Washington. Governor Fort fought and bafaed the water
snake when he was in Office, but his successor has remained supine
The only barriers against the water.snake are those erected by Gov
ernor Fort, and there is imminent danger that they will be over
thrown. Governor Fort vigorously addressed the Legislature on
the subject. Is the State government TO remain inert now and take
no step to combat the watersnake, which is drawing its folds closer
about the State, in readiness to seize it's prey?

Geran Bill Hearing a Biss.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
That bluff" as to a hearing on the
Geran election bill at Trenton tomorrow
is a good one. The whole matter Of a
hearing is meaningless, as Governor
Wilson and his hackers have made up
their respective and collective minds to
force the measure down the threats Of
the people.
The Geran bill is the s~heet-anchor Of
the Governors political ambition, and
it must hold fast to the bottom. That
he has become somewhat anxious about
it, however, is shown by the fact that
he is still Withholding patronage as no
Governor ever withheld patronage be-
fore. blocking the very course of justice
in this and in other counties.
At the same time, / call the hearing
a bluff and say 1t is a meaningless
formality because the outcome will be
nil as far as the people are concerned.

There is a suit pending in the courts
for the reinstatement of another gen.

clearly for the purpose, should the suit
be decided favorably TO said general

as punishment by court-martiai for
violation of law.

of men totally incapacitated by physi-
cal and mental inefficiency, incident to

prove how utterly preposterous these
allegations are n has but to turn to
the report of the acknowledgement for

the average of the officers of the Ma

xxx. HOW mol READ COLOR.

Color must be read in connection
with the traits and qualities indicates
by markings of the hand. 1t Is not
enough to know, for instance. that a
persons palm is pink to be able &c
say that he is everything that is de-
sirabIe as q member of the human fam
lily.
For II Is evident that a maj may be
cheerful. Jolly. neutrality-suspicious. and
sympathetic and yet a villain. There
are many thieves who have all the
traits which pink color stands for, and
conversely there are hosts Of honest,
honorable persons whose palms are az
yellow as those of Arbaces. the
Egyptian scoundrel, spoken of in the
section on yellow color last Friday.
1t all depends upon the markings
that go with the color, for the gloomy,
melancholy disposition which is char
acteristic of yellow is not necessarily a
begetter of evil. We may suppose the
hands of Hamlet, S~hakespeare's atra-
biliar Prince of Denmark, to have been
is one Of the most iovable characters
within the whole range of literature.
So you see disposition is one thing
and character another, and in reading
dispositions as shown by color it is in
dispensable to do so with constant ref
erence to character as indicated by
the lines and other markings.

SEARCH FEES IN KEARNK.

M SSEMBLY bill No. 469, which recently passed the House, will
be closely followed until it's final disposition, II enacted
into law in it's present form, it will solve a controversy
which has long existed in Kearny concerning fees for certificates OF
search az to taxes, assessments and other municipal liens. Here.
tofore there has been much disagreement as TO the ownership OF
such fees. The Civic Alliance of Kearny has insisted that they are
town funds, and should be paid into the treasury. The governing
bodv. under the advice of Town Counsel Edward Kenny, has ned
To the contrary. With a view TO legalizing the latter position, some.
one favorable thereto caused to be introduced a bill, known as AS.
sembly No. III. This bill empowered the Town Council to decide
by ordinance whether such fees should go into the treasury or be
retained by the officer making the search. 1t passed the House, but
was decisively beaten in the Senate. Among other matters, up.
wards of $4,000 is involved. Kearny taxpayers are deeply con-
eerned in the outcome. The Civic Alliance is watchful, 1t is giving
support to the latest bill, for it sees therein a just solution of a con-
troversy that was unnecessary and the end of a practise which was
harmful.

IS CATTLE INSPECTION A FARCE?

NAV HATEVER truth there may be in the charges that the
WV State tuberculosis Commission is inefficient and that dis
eased cattle are introduced in this State without proper
inspection, there. should be a rigid investigation. The matter is Of
vital importance TO the, State. It affects the health and lives Of
the people, as well as important State interests. Little is heard OF
the work OF the State commission. The State appropriation to
the commission for the present year was $4,000. The reports by
the commission are never read by the public and few people have
any idea of what the work of the commission consists. Last week
a cow tagged by the State commission as perfectly healthy was
killed in Montclair in the presence of a veterinary and an autopsy
showed that the animal had tuberculosis. The COW had been
brought from New York State, was examined Oh March 13 by a
representative of the commission and was passed as free from
disease. On March 81 when the COW was killed it was found to
be very seriously diseased. The charge is made by veterinarians
that New Jersey is a ground for diseased cattle from
other States. That charge, supported by the evidence of yesterdays
autopsy at Montclair, calls for an immediate State investigation.
IL State inspection of cattle is a farce the quicker it is ended and a
new system inaugurated the better. II there is real inspection and
protection it is we'll TO have that feet established.

THE PecoPD.oERAN BILL HEARING.

eTFa HIS is the thirteenth week of the legislative session, and to-
night the two houses will begin anew the struggle to make
some showing of results. All the important matters of legs
lation are still in embryo, and everything revoives around the
Record Geran bill, to which the Governor has pinned his political
fortunes. Tomorrow the Senate elections committee will give a
hearing on that bill, and it will overshadow everything else at the
state capital. Some of the rank humbug with which the bill was
invested by its promoters has been stripped from 1t by public crit
cism and commonsense logic, but the most Objectionable features
of the bill remain. The Senate committee will report amendments,
and their character will doubtless be determined by the arguments
brought out at the committee hearing tomorrow. Citizens OF all
politics are equally interested il seeing that the electoral system
of the State is not unduly tempered with, and they have an equal
right to be heard at this hearing. They should be present and voice
their objections. The Senate committee should not be left to the
elamor of an interested political claque TO get the impression that
this claque represents the popular sentiment.

poLYpoRE QUESTION BOX.

Questton-You say that knuckles
show that g man is smart. I know a
lot of people who have big knuckles
and can hardly read. 1 guess that
ought to prove that there Is not sc
much in palmistry.
Answer-You misunderstood what I
believed 1 had taken great care to tx
plain carefully and clearly. 1 did not
say that knuckles indicated either
smartness or learning. They do indi-
ate a deliberate. thoughtful mind;
one that does not do things i'm
pulsively.
deal Of thinking. just as, on the other
hand. a very learned man may spend
a whole lifetime without doing any
real thinking at all. And neither
knuckles nor srnoothness are an indi-
cation of learning.
Neither was my meaning that
smooth fingered people were unthink-
ing. On the contrary. the deepest
tainkers-the Platos and the Kants-
cannot be conceived as big knuckled.
Their sublime thoughts are the result
of intuition; and IL is only in the
working out OF their systems of phil
osophy that analysis Is employed.
And, conformably to this it Is likely
that as such men grow older and
more and more analytical, their
knuckles become more and more pro-
nounced. But the germinal idea un-
DERIVING their systems must have been
the result Of an intuitionaI "appercu."
such as comes only to genius of the
kind hat is characterized by smooth
fingers.

Military Retirement Bill.

nlittary netiTemcut Dill
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In recent articles published in refer
ence to my opposition to the military
retirement act the impression has been
given that my action Is not in keeping
with the betterment of the National
State Military Board 1 was appointed
as chairman of a committee from that
body to look after such legislation as
might pertain to military affairs. I was
also appointed by the National Guard
Association of New Jersey, a repre-
sentative body of the entire National
Guard, as chairman of a like commit
tee.
Upon the introduction of House bill
No. 4ss, known as the military retire.
ment act. / addressed the members
of the Military Board, sending them a
copy of said bill and asking for their
approval or disapproval Of same, and
I have received replies from several
members thereof, including the COM
manding officers of every organization
VI lie SLdIO, OAPlC6Sll6 ~ LOAiOWili5
opinions:
General Wilbur r. Sadler, approving
the bill; Major General P. F. Wanser,
commanding division, d-isapproving;
Brigadier- General Edwin w. Hine,
commanding First Brigade, disapprov-
ing; Brigadier-G General Dennis F. Col

approving; Colonel j. ID. Fraser.

proving; Lieutenant-Colonel George

disappearing; Colonel H. H. Brinker-
hoff, commanding Fourth Infantry,
disappearing; Lieutenant-C Colonel A.
A. Van Walraven, commanding Fifth
Infantry, disappearing; Commander
Albert De Unger, commanding Naval
Reserves, disappearing.
The purpose of the bill is to call a
general court-martial to pass upon the
of the National Guard and Naval Re-
serve Of the age of 81 years and over,
with a view to their compulsory re-
tirement. Upon reference to section
rs Of the act governing the National
Guard 1t will be readily seen that am
pie provision is made therein for
courts of inquiry to examine into the
capacity of officers without subjecting
them to the odium and lasting stigma
of a court-martial.
Such action by a court-martial Is In
direct violation of Article VII, Section
], Paragraph 6, of the Constitution
which provides that N commissioned
officer shall be removed from office but
by the sentence of a court-martial," and
the articles of wal define the offenses
which would subject an officer I o this
action, and old age is not one of them.
Now, in order to bring an officer within
the provisions of the above quoted ex-
tract he must have been guilty of some
offense committed in violation of the
National Guard laws, such o~ffenses be-
ing the same as those defined by the
articles of war.
There was an act Of this nature
placed on the statutes two years ago
which was afterward declared uncon-
stitutional. as a result of a suit brought
by General Edward "A. Campbell for re-
instatement aAxSE involuntary retire
