he salute the American coors? Sure he would, and
as often as possible and long his ammunition

to do it before.
That appeared to be very nice way out of the
little unpleasantness and there was great rejoicing
thereat.

that the Hennessy socaed Home Rule act has

If not devoid of intelligence and all of fair

protests against the misunderstanding law.
Representatives of municipalities affected took the
initiative against the Hennessy act
1t wasn't necessary for Mr. Nugent to enter deeply
into the controversy, Newark ia not involved

THE ATTEMPT ON MAYOR MToHEL's LIFE.

The half-demented man who yesterday attempted
to kill Mayor Mitchell of New York, is a type of a
class of humanity that is standing threat to the
lives of in authority in government. 1t is q
class that cannot be gotten rid of, nor can these
degenerates be reached by the law until act like
the attempts the lives of Mayors Gaynor and
Mitchell takes place. This is problem to be dealt
with in social
In New Yorks vast population there are hun
dreds of hafcrazed who usually possess weapons
and some sudden rage frenzied fancy may impel
anyone of them to commit senseless crime. 1t is
necessary to safeguard the President at all times
against this class in his journeyngs and to keep
guard at the White House. AS the assassination of
New York city's mayor has been twice attempted it
should be necessary to permanently safeguard
the mayor, too, in the way.
1t ascertained that the revolver used in the
attempt on the mayors life purchased in Jersey
City, and point is raised by New York authorities
that despite their stringent laws against the sale of
firearms, they helpless to check crime because of
the with which deadly weapons be procured
in New Jersey and Connecticut.
This does not speak well for this State, for,
although there is law prohibiting the carrying of
pistols without permit from the chief of police the
restrictions, as to sales, too meagre.

A REMARK ABLE ADVERTISEMENT.

The Evening Star, in its issue today publishes the
largest advertisement purchased by Newark
business firm The advertisement covers space of
six full pages and is evidence of confidence
posed in this newspaper medium of publicity.
In the six pages there are forty-eight columns or
more than 1000 inches The advertisement is
larger. by far, than the total amount of space de-
voted to advertisements in single issue in majority
of the dales published in the entire State of New
Jersey. This six-page advertisement means the ex-
penditure of hundreds of dollars and reflects great
credit upon the financial acumen and resourcefulness
of the business interests of Newark and Its fertile
suburbs.
This remarkable advertisement must needs be an
incentive to the smallest merchant Publicity
Yields the power, and power brings Less
than decade ago advertisement of this magnitude
was not to be considered
The Evening Star is proud of its achievement;
proud that it has the confidence advertisers of
the community, and proud that this newspaper has
been selected medium for publishing this record

There were many adventurers in
the Italian war for freedom, and Gar
ibaldi had been one himself, serving
in the French navy and in the army
of the Republic of Rio Grande," the
present Uruguay. Even when he had
attained the height of his fame he,
with his sons, served in the French
army during the Franco Prussian
war.
In the war of Servia and Bulgaria
there were Austrians, Russians and
many other foreigners, while in Spain
one has but to consider the names of
certain statesmen of recent years to
see how many adventures have
served to make the history of that
country.
A warrior named O'Higgins played
a chief part in the wars of Chill. In
China the leaders have time and
again been men of western race, and
1t would be interesting to learn how
many graduates of Annapolis have
served in the Chinese navy.

There are many new things that
combine to render the trade of the
soldier of fortune less picturesque
than it formerly was. War today is
much more highly organized affair
than it was years ago. Before they
fight nations are apt to sum up cares
fully the forces with which they have
to contend, and every step that is
taken in organization means one less
place for the soldier of fortune.

The fact that men who remain in
harness after acquiring reputation
and fortune are, as rule, more con-
tented and much happier than those
who retire after an active, strenuous
career to a life of comparative idle
ness and inactivity, has been been
emphasized in the life of the late
George Westinghouse
Almost up to the time OF his death,
at the age of sixty eight, this remark
able man was tremendously active in
the business world.
An occupied mind especially along
the line of ones ambition, is a happy
mind. An unoccupied mind deterior-
ates, goes to pieces very rapidly.
Every normal man has a dread of
the shrinking and shriveling which
inevitably follow the change from an
active to an inactive life. He breads
this because he realizes it is sort of
Slow suicide, a gradual atrophy of a
talent or power which has perhaps
, been the pride of his life.
There are many reasons why man
should not retire when he has a COM
petence. A whole life's momentum,
the grip of habit, which increases
facility and desire at every repetition;
strong ties of business or professional
friendship, and above all, the passion
for conquest, for achievement, the
love of the game, tend to keep him
in it.
1t is the love OF forging ahead, Of
pushing out into new fields, which
has grown to giant proportions in the
grand struggle for supremacy, the
ambition to push on a little further,
not greed or selfishness, that keeps
the majority of men in harness.
The love of achievement is satisfied
in the very act of creation, in the
realization of the ideal which had
haunted the brain. Ease, leisure,
comfort are nothing compared with
the exhilaration which comes from
achievement
Who can describe the sense of tri-
umph that fills the inventor, the joy
that thrills him when he sees for
the first time the perfect mechanism
of device-the work. of his brain and
hand-that will ameliorate the hard
conditions of mankind and help to
emancipate man from drudgery.
Who can imagine the satisfaction,
the happiness of the scientist who,

WHAT JACKSON WOULD DO.

What Jackson, the stalwart Democrat who never
knuckled to anybody or anything, would do with a
demand from England any other European power
in regard to the Panama canal cannot be doubted.
The who, with his frontersmen, whipped the
flower of Wellington's Peninsular veterans at New
Orleans, not the man to meeky take orders from
England at this any other time. Congressman
Chandler. of New York at the Progressive dinner at
Trenton last night, said what every American knows
to be true: Il do not know whether England has
threatened the President not. but | do know, and
the world knows, what would happen IL Jackson

to Congress advising that knucke and yield the

immediate appropriation to enlarge the standing army
and to increase the navy with hundred additional

Noted Women Whose Birthday Is Yours
BY MARY MARSHALL.
APRIL 10
Lucretia Borgia
Copyrighted 1914.

April Is is the reputed birthday of
Lucretia Borgia-that very beautiful
italian who has for many years en-
jcyed the distinction of being the
most wicked woman in history. Her
wicl,edness, her infamy and her
CT a.-v. the old-fashioned historians
VIC 4 have had us believe, pass the
realm of the human imagination. She
was born in 1910 and as child she
must have felt the stigma of her
birth. Her mother was beautiful
woman, called VanoZza, and her
father was Rodrigo Borgia, who later
became Pope under the name of AL
exander VI. Her brother, Cesare
Borgia, was undoubtedly one of the
most INSCRIPTIONS men of a very
INSCRIPTIONS age, and it is small
wonder that between her father, AL
exander VI, who was very many
things in private life that a Pope
ought not to be- and brother Cesare,
Lucretia should have fallen victim
to the general depravity of the time
Lucretia was married when she was
only thirteen to an influential noble-
man, but four years later this mar
rage was annulled in favor of
more advantageous alliance. Two
years later the husband of this sec
ond marriage-the nephew of the

King of Naples-was assassinated at
Caesars instigation, and LucIetia
was left free to marry the Duke OF
Farrara. Thus before she was twenty
Lucretia had been thrice married,
each time to further the ambitious
motives of her father and brother.
The story of her crimes and in-
trigues, her inhumanities and her
vices. seems to have grown more
vivid with the telling and it is only
recently that fair-minded historians
have come forth to vindicate the
cause of the Borgia family and to
show that, although far from perfect,
they We're but products of an age of
general depravity rather than the
arch criminals that they have for
centuries been supposed to be-
Among present-century celebrities
there is Catherine Cecil Thurston to
do honors for April 49, She was borr
in 1875 and died three years age
after an unhappy married life of ten
years. Her claim to fame rests upon
her popular novel, which appeared in
England under the title John Chill

try as 1.-THE Masquerader." Her later
novel, 1.-THE Gambler" was not up to
the mark of the first, but proved Mrs.

FORCE OF HABIT.

They were speaking of force of
habit in the lobby of a hotel when
Charles W, Bryan, brother of Secre-
tary William ]. Bryan, told of an in
cident along that line. One afternoon
two pretty girls rambled up to the
platform of a country railroad sta
ton. Evidently, from their dress
and manner. one of the fairies was
going to take the train and the other
had come to see her off. Eventually
the train steamed into the little sta
ton, but the traveller seemed in no
great hurry to get aboard. With
watch in hand the conductor waited.
Finally he looked toward the fair pas
senger impatiently.
Madam said he. with another
glance at his watch, ''if you are going
on this train you must get aboard"

A LAW THAT is NOT HALF A LAW.

1t is now probable that the Assembly amendment
to the bill of Senator Edge giving the railroads six
months to safeguard their grade crossings practically
nullifes the act The bill passed the Senate
an honest bill. Its scope the entire State and
all unprotected grade crossings As it was signed by
the governor it applied only to those roads that have
been improved by State aid.
All the hundreds of miles of roads in the State
not thus improved excluded from the bill. And
the roads given year to provide the protection
this limited mileage of roads The Public Utility
Commission has the discretion of providing protec-
ton for the crossings roads built by State aid
which is equivalent to protection at ALL since the
commission has thus far refused to exercise its
authority, although furnished with census of all the
grade crossings by the State road commissioner.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Pioneer Dry Goods Mans Business Theory

The late Albert Baldwin. who for
many years was ranked among the
leading financial and commercial
forces of the State of Louisiana, and
who was for a time president of the
largest of the Southern banks, was a
native of Boston and received his
early business training in that city
He was never tired of speaking in
high praise of James It. Beebe, who
established in Boston many years
ago and built up what at one time
was the largest house in the United
States occupied with the dry goods
trade. 1t was with that house that
Junius S. Morgan, father of the late
Pierpont Morgan, was associated
as partner for twenty years, and
from that partnership he withdrew
in 1854 for the purpose of entering
the great banking house of George

Yes, we have typewriter now,
And Father is pleased as a boy,
The wrinkles are gone from his brow
He pounds on the keyboard with joy;
His writing was awful, indeed,
1t lost him both friendship and pelf,
Twas torture for others to read
And he couldn't read it himself!
But now that the typewriters here,
1t puts all such woes on the blink;
His letters are perfectly clear
And no one tips over the ink;
No pen point to sputter and blot,
No pencil to break and to smudge,
Make Father unpleasantly hot,
Or give him crouch and a grudge!
No, Fathers a business man keen
Who acts in a busnessike way,
And thumps on the writing machine
His various letters each day;
The copies are neatly on file,
The wrinkles are gone from his brow
He does things in up-to-date style,
For we've got typewriter now
