Daily horoscope

The stars incline, but do not compel.

Venus and the Sun rule with be-
nefic power today, according to as
trology. All the planetary influences
are well dominated by kindly forces
but Mercury and Neptune r faint
ly adverse.
1t is a sway most fortunate for
women who should benefit greatly
from the favor of men who are in
positions of authority.
This should be a particularly
lucky day for lovers. 1t is an au-
spicious wedding day. consistency
and prosperity being forecast.
According to ancient lore this
should be a most advantageous
sway for shopping. especially when
women's wear is to be purchased.
All who are forward-looking
should seek preferment while this
configuration prevails. It is espe-
cially encouraging to the ambitions
of women.
Owing to some sort of a canard
or to an unusual condition of affairs,
newspapers may suffer from unjust
criticism and suspicion at this
time.
1t is not a fortunate rule for
writing and letters should be eau
tiously safeguarded II the set
forth secret plans.
Owing to the position of Neptune
deception may be more than com.
monty prevalent at this time, while
intrigue may be much resorted to
by both men and women.
There is 81 sign that emphasizes
the danger of i~nsanitary conditions
in cities and seems to encourage
extreme cleanliness. Disease may
be easily spread while this plane
government continues.
Oil will now be much discussed,
because Neptune Is in sinister as

This is not a promising day for
journeys by sea. Accidents
and disappointments are foretold.
This is a direction of the stars

Ripping Rhymes
THE DEEP

The ocean beats the headland
steep before my humble dwelling,
and I sit there and view the deep,
and hear the seabirds yelling. There
are a thousand wondrous tales in
every wave that's rolling, of coral
isles and frantic gales and temple
bells a-tolling. But who will tell
a tale to me, so I may write the
story? For 1 have lever been to
sea, and haven't known its glory.
And there are seamen all around,
who've been to every harbor; I
meet them by the village pound,
and when l seek the barber. They've
been on ships in every cline,
they've fought through tempests
thrilling, and they could tell a yarn
sublime If only they were willing.
In vain 1 tempt these ancient men
to talk of seas and sailors, though
they will spiel again, again, of tink-
ers and of tailors. They'll drool
away on topics cheap until my soul
grows limper, but of the wonders
of the deep I cannot draw a whim-
per. Oh, none will tell of heather
chiefs who rule DER bloodstained
acres, and / can't hear of distant
reefs, or blue lagoons or breakers.
The mariners of many ships their
secrets well are guarding, but they
will open wide their lips to talk OF

BRIDGE IN BAD SHAPE

Reports as TO the condition of the
state highway bridge across the
Raritan river are not encouraging.
1t would be little short OF a calamity
to close the bridge to all traffic at
this time. Thousands of automo-
biIes, both pleasure carr and trucks,
use this structure every week. The
traffic 10 the Monmouth coast re-
sorts would be particularly hard
hit.
The condition Of the draw, how
ever, seems to leave no other alter
native than TO make repairs as
quickly as possible. Not only is the
draw in bad shape. but the planking
ia showing signs of wear and 1t is a
question If it will hold out until fail
under its present usage. The most
tat can be expected 10 that a limit
be placed on the weight of the
leads carried by the trucks. This
ought to be strictly enforced.
In the meantime progress on the
new bridge ought to be pushed. 1t
is going to take some time to build
this new structure and 1t is a ques.
ton whether the old bridge can be
made to last long enough to see it
completed.
We do not believe there is a high
way in the state that Is more con-
gested, especially over the week.
end, than this road across the Rar-
itan river bridge. To think Of fore
ing a detour by way Of New Bruins
wick, a distance of twenty-five
miles. in order to cover less than
two miles ordinarily. is preposter-
Gus. Yet It will have to be done
once the present bridge Is closed.
Drastic action is necessary for the
protection OF the public.

INTO HANDS OF POLITICIANS

The New York World says the
main object of the new third party.
and all the other organizations
favoring government ownership Of
public utilities, is to turn over all
our basic industries into the hands
Of politicians and ofice-holders.
That seems to be the situation in a
nutshell.
No matter what we may think of
the railroad corporations and the
mine operators we do not believe
that the remedy for existing evils
is to be found in government own
ership.
What fine pickings it would be
for Tammany Hall, for instance, if
all the subway, elevated and sur
face car lines in that city were I'M
der the absolute control of the
municipal authorities. With the
Tammany ring, together with Bren
nan, of Chicago, and Taggert, OF
Indiana. and Nugent. of New Jer-
sey, back OF a federal administra-
ton, as would probably be the case
with Cox in the White House, what
q fine time the politicians would
have IL all the railroads, mines and
stockyards were absolutely within
their grasp. No. the American
people are not looking for more
trouble than they have already.

Observation of the laws and fun
damental conventionalities of So
ciety. while considered by those who
lead the Bohemian life to be a USE
less code followed only by the I'M
enlightened. is nevertheless the only
course to pursue if one wants to
attain real happiness.
That is the moral forcefully en-
phasized by Anita Stewards latest
screen starring vehicle, Harriet

shown at the Strand theatre, COM
mencing today.
In the role of Harriet Field. a girl
from a small town who is dazzled

followed and the Bohemian life led
by the natives of New York's ia
nous Greenwich Village. Anita
Stewart goes through a free love
ceremony with a handsome young

at her studio apartment she re-
ceives a package from her sister
containing a letter telling of her sis

the lilacs enclosed are from the
bower in which the wedding was

How Harriet is saved from her
