WEDNESDAY EVE IXG, MAY 17. 1011;
SELECTING I HE ELECTION Of I-/URS.
HE time is approaching tor a prueticaj I rial ol' (lie elaborately
constructed new election law. when die people will have to
pass judgment on its workings. The new election districts
have been arranged.'making an increase pf upward of between 400
and 500 in the Stale, and next month will begin I ho process of
choosing more than seven thousand election officers from —0.000 or
more candidates, all of whom must be examined by the state civil
Service Commission as to their (|iialifica<ions. Thus far, however,
the average voter will lake no particular interest in line workings
of the law. though lie may marvel tit the elaboration and the in
creased expense. The first popular lest of the law will be made on
primary election day. when its other features will come ip play.
A GREAT SALE OF BONDS.
THE forthcoming sale of $50,000,000 of ”• per cent. Panama
bonds by the government will attract world wide attention
as evidencing the financial credit of the Cnited States gov
ernment. The success of the postal savings banks experiment, only
recently tried, shows the confidence of the most suspicious class
of wage-earners in the stability of the guarantee of the govern
ment. These bonds will be taken by financial institutions and syndi
cates and will be largely sought for permanent investments by
estates. The government is not by any means crumped for money.
The national treasury Iuih been paying out cash for the purposes
ef canal construction instead of issuing bonds, as it was authorized
to do by Congress, and the proceeds of the bonds are in large part
for reimbursement of the treasury for Ihese expenditures. To the
individual or government that is not hard up borrowing comes
comparatively easy and til reasonable rates. It is otherwise with
those that “need the money.”
OUR FRIENDLY SERVICES IN MEXICO.
n T is not improbable that the troubles in Mexico will finally lie
II settled at Washington by representatives of the federal and
revolutionary factions. Our government could not now tender
its friendly services to bring about a peace, as in the contemplation
of all established governments there is only one authority in Mexico
at the present time, and that is tin* Diaz government. There is
evidently an increasing desire for peace and to that end President
Diaz, may yield to the terms of Madero. If the war continues and
the revolutionists attain a positiou to justify partial recognition
by the United States there will then be opportunity for a friendly
offer by our government. During our great Civil War the sugges
tion of intervention by a European power was hotly repelled. Era
peror Napoleon III. proposed to other powers in Europe a joint
intervention and failed to secure their acquiescence. In default of
that he sent an army to Mexico to be ready to pounce on New
Orleans and secure possession of the mouth of the Mississippi. It j
is an interesting question as to what France or tiermany would do
in the present conditions of Mexico if either had Mexico as a neigh j
lior and if the slightest provocation was given.
LARGE COUNTIES IN CONTROL.
TIIE fact has just been discovered at Trenton that the State
party conventions to be held under the new law will be
largely composed of the represeufatives-t»f the large counties.
The party conventions will consist of the candidates for Assembly,
the hold-over senators and the governor or candidate for governor,
about seventy in all, of whom from twenty-nine to thirty-two will
represent the three counties of Essex, Hudson and Passaic. Five
\ North Jersey counties might have forty representatives in the con
vention. a clear majority to declare the party platform mid policies.
THE FUTURE OF STANDARD OIL.
THERE will be no criminal prosecution of the Standard' Oil
trust, ns the statute of limitations would probably prevent.
Nor would there be anything to be gained by such proseru
tion. Whatever may be the case with other trusts, good or bad.
Standard Oil must dissolve itself into its constituent elements, and i
the court's decision says distinctly that it shall not be "recreated
directly of indirectly." There caur be no doubt that the astute and
far-seeing lawyers of Standard Oil have had plans ,of reorganiza
tion ready to meet the emergency of an adverse decision, but those
few words make the plans futile.
iVfcKV JCKSEY
XVY EW JERSEY’S contribution of |500,000 for the purchase of
\\ a ship-canal right of way for the federal government might
be increased ten-fold with immense Nprolit to the State.
New .York is expending Slod.ooO.tHMt for a barge canal from Buffalo
lo Albany, and that canal cannot be of much "greater value than
the proposed canal between the Raritan and flic Delaware, thirty
two miles long. That canal will create sixty-four miles of new sites
for manufacturing, and will immensely develop present industries;
it will be till* means of creating important waterway terminals in
the State; it will bring uew towns'into existence, be a great de
veloper of Xew Jersey’s natural resources and in other important
ways add enormously to the propert\ wealth and the opportunities
for capital and labor. That stretch of thirty-two mites across the
State is New Jersey’s richest asset.
TAFT TO THE CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
TT*SA RESIDENT TAFT'S message to the Confederate reunion at
||5 Little Rock, Ark., yesterday and its reception by that body
make a pleasant incident for the American people, although
there are a few irreeoneilublcs yet extant who view with displeasure
all such interchanges of good and patriotic sentiment between the
Blue and the Gray. It is now half a century since the Civil War
was begun and forty-six years since the war yyas ended. During
the latter period both sections have grown and prospered 10 an extent
unexampled in the annals of mankind, and every sear left by the
war has been obliterated. President Taft’s message is the message
patriotic Northern sentiment.

Without them at the game many per

Air. and Airs, t.'bauncy H. Beasley,

I an amusing experience “way down
.South " They happened to be In Tar
pon Springs, Florida, and when they
heard that a "darkey” Wedding was
"on” in the queer little church in the
place they decided to “take it in."
The result was they were “taken in"
instead. Before .the imposing cere
mony had begun and the wheezy mclo
dion hud whined its way into sensitive
Northern tars the pastor arose and
pompously announced that as there
were some very prominent people
present from the other side of the
Mason- and Dixon line the, collection
would be taken up before the knot
was tied in their distinguished pres
ence. As Mr. and Mrs. Beasley were
the only white people present they
naturally looked somewhat ^bashed.
Mr. Beasley felt more abashed when
he felt in his pocket for change. All
he had was a $& bill, and the plate
was already under his nose. So up
came the "five" from the pocket and
down it went on the plate.
"Now let dat ceremony proceed,”
came from the pastor, whose grin was
broad enough to be felt.
“That’s what I would, call a ’South

to Mrs. Beasley, and their interest In
the ceremony was practically at an

Walter J. Snyder, of New York, edl-j
tor of the Spirit of the Times, a jour- 1
nal devoted to driving and riding
horses, pony polo und other sports of
the rich, uttended the horse parade
hero on Saturday.
Standing near the head of the parade
.Mr. Snyder waved his hand down the
line of high-class horses and remarked,
"You may talk about the aeroplanes
and flying machines jjind automobiles
eventually doing away with horses, but
I say no. Never will the mechanical
contrivances used for conveying people
give the real thrill that comes to the
horse lover when he pulls the reins over
the back of a thoroughbred.'’
Mr. Snyder admitted that the day ot
the draught horses was passing, being
superseded by the motor trucks, but he
vigorously denied that the harness
horse would ever be a thing of the
past.
COURTEOUS TO THE LAST.
A visitor to the jail In a Netv England

■ "They seem So gentle and so polite,"
she said. "I knew there were no hard

pared for such a courteous, even cor
dial reception.’’
"Oh, they're cordial and courteous all
riglv ” said the Jailer, "but I'd rather
have less manners myself.”
“You would!” und the visitor was
evidently shocked.
"I would, ma’am," repeated the Jailer, j

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
“Hutton, button, who's’got the but
ton?'' Those who have ever been young
will remember this “game" and won
der why Governor Woodrow Wilson is
letting Colonel George (dropped B. Mc
Clellan) Harvey play it with Senator j
Murtlne's private secretary, George
Record, and the rest of the quilting
party. Oh! you “button.'' I am pained
and shocked at the present personally
conducted tour for the White House In
1913. Colonel Harvey, who to my view
sold out his benefactor (that prince of
good friends, ox-United States Senator
James Smith, jr.) and who is the rep
resentative of the “Interests,” is the
head and front of this businesslike,
systematized correspondence school,
magazlnclzed and very smug agitation
to laud Mr. Wilson In a place in tvhicn
he could and would do Incalculable
harm to the country. We admit his
great ability—at talking. '.Ve adroit
he carried New Jersey by a majority
beyond the dreams of old or youthful
politicians, and so. forsooth, he must
wait only till lie has the legislature
“off his hands” and then rush out to
capture the nomination for President.
What unprecedented cheek, what
mountainous ambition! No wonder
people with a sense of humor smile at
the drubbing this Cicero gives the old
(nnd passed, he says) methods of doing
things. Everything but “I" is wrong
now. This may not be very good gram
mar. but it means what this great
egotist means. Bui W. W. is now see
ing things differently and begins to
sidestep, take water, explain, becoma
coy on certain questions and play 'pos
sum. The office of President of tha
United States ought to be far above
the seeking of it by/ barn-storming
methods. If t had not many other rea
sons for refusing to “seo” Wilson as a
candidate, one alone would quite suf
fice. No Colonel Harvey in mine. I
like loyalty, not treachery.

Antl-Tubfrrulosla Work n Revelation.
To the Editor of th*' ISvenlng Star:
A recent illustrated lecture on “How
to Prevent Tuberculosis," which I at
tended, proved a revelation to me in
the numerous kernels of information
given. Not only was the manner of
fighting the white plague best de
scribed, but the listeners were told
how the most sanitary conditions In
tho home might be obtained and thus
fight off nil diseases. Those who were
present and had theretofore not taken
the matter of germs seriously were
shown how these pests convey dis
ease In a thousand different ways.
This interesting lecture work is be
ing done by the members of the New
ark Anti-Tuberculosis Association, the
same organization which has been
working for years in this city with
out the proper recognition and co
operation of the public. There are
doubtless thousands of people in New
ark who do not know we have an anti
tuberculosis association here, and there
are many who know of its existence,
but that ts all. The latter /class have
heard mention of the. association or
seen some account of Its work in the
newspapers, but the majority of them
do not take enough interest to find
out where the headquarters of the body
are located.
Not until Newarkers wake up to a
greater Interest In this work will it
reach the mark of efficiency it aims
at. Seeing that the people themselves
are the beneficiaries, they should co
operate with the Newark Anti-Tuber
culosis Association, and then wo would
stand a chance of getting rid of the,
w'hlte plague. O. WRIGHT. !

Hopes Son Will Buy Proverb Hook.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
I want to say about that proverb
contest which you arc running In the
Evening STAR that it is too easy. I
have never been in proverb •contests,
but I know what I’m talking about.
No doubt after a while they will go*,
more difficult, but just now, Mr. Ed
itor, they are too easy. Why, I’ve got
a little boy at home who can guess
most of them. This boy does not ex
pect to win that automobile, hut at
the same time he may unless the prov
erbs stiffen up a bit. He can guess
them now without any help of one of
those books. I hope lie will huve to
buy one later in the contest, as I really
think it would do him good to “study
up.’’
These contests are great in the way
of putting people “wise," and it is for
that reason I hope he will buy a book.
Even if he does not win one of the |
big prizes he Is sure to learn a lot of
things ho didn’t know before. That's |
something. The old saying is that “we
live to learn,” and I'm sure that are can I
not begin early enough in life to learn. |
Proverb contests are one way of j
learning much. 1 wish I had a chance I
at them when I was little. Rut they !
didn't have them in my time.

To tile Editor of the Evening Star:
Why Is It that Newark doe* not pos
sess a flreboat ns part of the equip
ment of her splendid fire department?
Surely there Is enough valuable prop
erty on the bunks of the I’assalc river
to make such a boat a valuable asset
to the city.
In many cases, especially u"t some of
the large plants. It would be almost
Impossible to fight a largo fire from

Another good use that could bo made
of a flreboat would be In the establish
ment of a high pressure system for the
business section. This plan w as adopt
ed in Detroit a number of years ago
and lias worked perfectly. Large pipe
lines were laid up the principal streets
running from the river, with cross
eeetlons running to other streets.
On an alarm of fire in a dangerous
section tile llretug steams to the foot
of the nearest street and puts all her
powerful pumps at work on the pipe
line, with the result that os far as a

Is obtained direct from the hydrant.

LXVIII. ENDING OF HEART LINE. "
How wonderful Is the diversity of
appearance of the life maps a* shown
| by the lines and mounts of the palms!
1 Mot one of all the myriads of millions
! of hands is exactly like any other. And
though there be a similarity between
band and hand of, say, parent and
| child or between twins, there hav*
probably never been two hands alto
gether alike.
So true is this that some years go
| an offer of *r>00 was made if two hands
! could be produced that would tally
with each other in every respect; and
yet nobody came forward to claim the
reward.
All of which is merely preliminary to
the point I desire to make, which is
that although there seems so little dif
ference between one Heart line and.
another that a person not versed in
palmistry would probably not be able
to seo any difference at all, there is,
nevertheless, so great a diversity that
to set forth all the divergences would
fill up more volumes with literature on
the Heart line alone than would suf
fice to fill a library.
This would, of course, be rather in
convenient for our purpose, which,
after all, is not so much to tabulate
every conceivable variation of the '
lines as to engender a mode of thinking
that shall enable you to make your
[ own combinations and draw your own
conclusions without having any need
to have recourse to the memory or a.
hook for every fresh deviation from
tile normal appearance of any of the
lines. -
Now, one of the most unusual depart
ures from the normal is when the
Heart line, with the natural course
of which across the hand you have
already become familiur, after leaving
the Mount of Jupiter, takes a sharp
upward turn toward one or other of
the mounts, as, for instance, when
it turns toward the Mount of Saturn.
This is rarely a good sign. Good,
I say, because, after all, it does occa
sionally signify that a person hart
turned his mind to sober, serious
thoughts. But ordinarily the sudden
turn toward the Mount of Saturn sig
nifies some unmitigated evil. For, not
only may it signify poor health, but
it is also customarily an inexhaustible
source of moral obliquity. For if there
is nothing to neutralise the baneful
effect, the malice which is part of the
inherent characteristic-of those of the
Saturnian type will be present, if there
Is the least bit of a suggestion of yel
low in the color of the nails or palm.
How are health and moral defect*
distinguished In regard to such a Heart
line? Well, if the color is yellow and
the nails are brittle or rklged It is
more than likely that there lurks some
where in the system paralysis, rheu
matism or heart disease. The former
two sicknesses are peculiar to the Sa
turnian type, while the heart disease
may be Inferred from the fact that
the heart line is so short. This short
ness, a bad enough sign in itself, is
rendered doubly menacing by the other
signs of ill health.
But now let us turn from the end
ing on the Mount of Saturn to the
case where the heart Hire terminates
on the Mount of Apollo.
Ah. here everything is so cheerful!
The gloomy, morose neighbor, despite
his proximity, cannot east the shadow
i of his influence over the sunny son
of art and beauty; and In the heart
of this Apollonian is a song the live
long day. That is. unless there are
health defects Indicated by the nail*
or l he color.
In the latter case the indication of
heart disease is almost Infallible, for
heart trouble is peeuliarty an affliction
to which Apollonians are ‘‘to the man
ner born.”
If Mercury’s Mount is the favored
one the line runs to. and there Is no
indication of illness (in nails, color
or the like), you should interpret the
marking as a great fondness for what
ever pertains to the Mercurian char
acter. Such a person will probably
be very shrewd and will allow money
to influence him even In the affairs
of ljls heart.
If the nails are ridged or there irt
much of the yellow color In the noli*
or palm look out for bilious fevers or
indigestion, for these are the ailments
characteristic of the Mercurian type.
