Catching Redhot Rivets.

This would not seem to be pleasing
occupation even if the rivet is caught
in an old mail bag, yet the feat is con-
stantly performed by workmen. Or
dinarily they catch rivets in a rivet
keg or something Of that sort, but
there are men who catch rivets with a
pair Of tongs-just reach out for them
and nip a redhot rivet out OF the air
with the nipper part Of the tongs in
much the same way that bird nips 3
flying feather out of the air with its
beak. The feat Is commonly seen by
persons. who watch workmen on high
buildings.-Harper's Weekly.

A Paradox.

A maiden we'll advanced in years
used to wait every morning for the
postman, bachelor Of about her age,
and ask him if there was not letter
for her. Several weeks passed thus,
but the anxiously expected letter did
not arrive. Finally one morning the
postman said to her, "Well, tomorrow
you shall get your letter, if have to
write it myself"
That's right; do it." replied the old
maid. II shall be delighted to ac-
cept it."
"Well," said the postman, smiling,
what do you want me to write-a
business letter or love letter."
eff you mean business please write
a love letter." was her blushing reply.

Government Control.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Rather a new and startling interview
appeared in the newspapers recently
in which a mar high in the political
life of the nation declared that Roose-
welt, by advocating government control.
has warded off government ownership.
I do not wish to go into detail con-
corning the development of industrial
society, nor to quote from h greatest
political economists of the world. What
/ do wish to say is that government
control is just a step before govern
ment ownership and really paves the
way for 1t instead of warding If off.
After we get genuine control, eff
cient control, we will get government
ownership. The railroads have already
declared that If control" even at the
rate it is progressing. now, keeps in
.creasing the private ownership of all
industry will automatically go over to
the people and government ownership
will be in force.

WILSON BOOMERS FOR TAT T.

I'D ORDEN d. WHITING, chairman of the State Roosevelt
I'D League, points out i'll the statement he made on Saturday
that the Taft men in New Jersey are composed of two
classes: First, those Republicans who in 1908 sought to prevent
Tafts nomination; second, those Democrats who in 1912 seek to
promote. Woodrow Wilson's election That is to say, the Taft men
and the Wilson men are a unit in working for the denomination and
reelection of Taft since the chances of Wilson for the Democratic
nomination are absolutely negligible. This confederacy must of
course extend TO the polls, for what is the motive of the Wilson
men Il not to insure the reelection of Taft? Why should men who
profess to be Democrats desire the nomination of a Republican
candidate who would have all the tremendous influence of the Fed.

1 RIVER TUNNEL AT CAMDEN.

MA II HEN the project of tunneHng the Delaware river between
wv Camden and Philadelphia was agitated, several years
ago. the STAR predicted that there would be no tunnel
construction except by the Pennsylvania railroad and that the
project would wait until that company got ready to build. The
agitation petered out. 1t has now been renewed in South Jersey
by representatives of South Jersey towns, and the Camden Board
OF Trade has taken it up. To tunnel the Delaware is a simple engi-
neering proposition now. The benefits to South Jersey would be
immense, as a tunnel would make a convenient outlet into New
Jersey of many thousands of Philadelphia's population. The con
struction cost would be paid for at once by the great appreciation of
South Jersey property, 1t would well pay the people of that sec
ton to subscribe the capital. But they won't, 1t will be left to
the Pennsylvania to build the tunnel at its leisure.

ENATOR PRINCE, the Senate President, has been acting
Governor a large part of the present executive session, being
sworn in a s such four times. And the session has not yet
gotten down TO real work. Senator Prince has been compelled to
duplicate his duties because of the frequent and prolonged absences
of the Governor from the State on campaign trips. Senator Prince
gets a salary of $666.66 The governors salary is $4,000. Both are
under contract with the State to earn their salaries by close atten-
ton to their duties. Senator Prince earns his salary and also per
forms the duties for which the Governor is largely compensated.
This never occurred before in this State and probably it won't again
after the present administration goes out.
