Life saving ALONG the Coast

To THE EDIToR OF The SUN-Sir. The
Sun should not cease its discussion OF tho
matter Of life saving until the Government
either is compelled TO do its plain duty in car
ing for the shipwreoked on our coast, or until
the public becomes thoroughly acquainted
with the neglect OF the authorities in taking
every possible precaution to save human life.
A few days ago | witnessed the rescue of
twelve persons who had taken TO a small boat
after their vessel had gone to pieces. about one
mile of Monmouth Beach on the Jersey coast
1t was a very creditabe and plucky bit Of
work by Mr.. Iselin and his party and the mon
of the life saving station.
! have talked with those men, and by per-
sonal contact have been made acquainted not
only with the various appliances in their
hands, but with their practical ideas. ideas

are prevalent here the great waves break from

successfully marine railway or incline that
would carry boat out beyond the breakers,
and am told by these men that one could not
be manned even by breeches-buoy commun-
icating with lifeboais anchored beyond the
breakers.
The only hope for he safety of shin wreck ed
mariners on this coast is from the, Iatrol tugs
which the Government is supposed TO have tor
this purpose and to send out when Il storm is
known to be approaching the coast This IS
not. and has not been done. and the auth critics
are, in my opinion, shamefuy Negligent Of
their plain duty in this after. There is only
one tug which daros venture outside the
Point on Long Island to BarneEat on the Jer-
sey coast. The last shipwrecked boat was
seen ut da yight by the alert men Of the signal
station at Galilee; They teIegraphed at once
to the Sandy Hook stat on for a tug, hut it was
midday before one could be secured and then
only by accident. as the Navigator was not the
regular tug at this station, and it was chiefly
due to the foresight and pluck of Mr.. IselIn
that these people were rescued
1t would seem that the Treasury Depart
ment. which has this matter in charge should
keep at least two absolutely seaworthy tugs
and that they should patrol the Long Island
and Jersey consts during all storms. and
should be in Marconigraph communication
with the shore Mt all the life saving stations.

Miss Todd and Mr.. Payne.

Miss HULDAH, B. TODD, formerly post
master at Greenwood, DEL, who was re-
moved for the benefit Of the Hon. Gas AD-
DICKS man in the United States Senate,
finds herself unable to agree with Post
master-General PAyNE's averment that
she admitted in an interview with him
that she allowed the Greenwood Office to be
the headquarters Of Republican faction.
In a statement printed by the World she
denies that she made such an admission; ;
that she has been active in politics :;
that the Post Office, while she was in
charge of 1t, was used as place for polit-
ical meetings of any faction, parties or
kind; and that she treated discount
eously any patrons OF the Office, what
ever their politics.
Mr.. PAYNE is little hard of hearing.
He may have misunderstood Miss TODD.
But she seems little slow of understand
ing. She was an obstacle in the way Of
the full development Of Addicksian civil
service reform. She was removed for
cause and ADDICKs was the cause.
1t is vain for Miss TODD to insist that
she was not IAN active factor in a fac
tional quarrel within the Republican
party as Mr.. PAYNE charges her with
being and confessing herself to be. As
the non-Addicksian occupant Of a job
the disposal Of which. according to re-
vised and improved civil service reform,
belonged to Mr.. ADDIcKss representa-
tive in the Senate Chamber at Washing
ton, she must be regarded by the pure
eyes Of that pure reformer as not only a
factor, but a malefactor.
Miss TODD may have been an excellent
postmaster, but she falls to apprehend
the spirit Of contemporary civil service
reform.

may not be clearly apparent. it can be

ability to compete with the cheap labor
of other countries.
On the other hand, the default in the
field of agriculture, while not large In
point of the dollars involved, is sugges-
tive of opportunities neglected by the
farmer. Not always is the American
farmer good business man. He does not
always study market conditions from
business point of view. He "guesses' or
"reckons" that he will plant this crop or
that. If potatoes are high this season,
he turns to potatoes for next season,
only to find that many other producers
have adopted similar policy; If the
season is good one, the crop is over
abundant and prices are low.
The following table indicates de-
mand for farm products which the Amer
lean farmer does not supply, and which
would require the cultivation OF many

The Strikes and the Stricke en-.

Mr.. JOHN d. PRINCE, superintendent
of the Brooklyn Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Children, asserts that
"there can be no doubt that the labor dis
turbances Of the summer months caused
widespread restitution. The society
had "twice as many cases in June and
July as in the corresponding months OF
last year, and this month one-third more
cases than in September last"
Well, what of it? Periods of idleness
and want in the families of striking work.
men are inevitable when strikes are or
dered by labor leaders for the benefit Of
their pockets or their grudges or to show
their power. The families Of the loyal
followers of these grand llamas of labor
have to suffer; but what does Mr. PRINCE
expect?
Surely he would not have the walking
delegates brought to restitution.

Ulysses in Park Row.

The Ulysses" of MIR. STEPHEN PHIL
LIPS has put grievous load upon some
Of the Manhattan dramatic critics and
proofreaders. The Times speaks learn
edly Of "PoREIDoN" and "EURYPIDEs"
and tells us that "the circle of Mr.. PHIL
LIPs's Olympians had an unmistakable
air of the minstrel show in which ZEUs
was the middle man and HERMEs and
APHRODITE the end men" APHRODITE as
an end man must have been worth much
more than the price Of admission.
The World, carrying all that weight Of
learning lightly as flower, asserts that
Ulysses is based upon the story OF the
hero of Greek mythology as all the world
knows it from the Odyssey of HOMER. .

The Hope OF the Republic.

The question of the comparative adj
vantages of education in the public
schools and in schools Of which the basis
of the instruction is religion is OF vital
interest to many Of our correspondents,
but it does not seem to be subject in
which the great mass Of the people OF this
town have any very serious concern.
Atthe opening Of the public schools on
Monday the enrolment Of pupils was
more than half a million. 1t was greater
than last year by many thousands, and
40 great that the Board Of Education is
embarrassed to provide school room and
instruction for all the children.
This would seem to be evidence that
the parents of the city are satisfied with
the schools as they are, and it certainly
shows a hopeful eagerness on their part
to secure for their children the advan-
tages Of the great boon Of free education
which New York offers at cost 80 enor-
nous in money obtained by taxation.
On Manhattan Island, in 1909. only
about one-sixth of the population were OF
native birth and parentage, and Of the
remaining five-sixths very great part
WIS made up Of people who did not speak
our language. The outlook would be
grave indeed were it not for the free
public SCHOOLS, since these foreigners are
now increasing at more rapid rate than
ever before and those Of native parentage
must now be even less than one-sixth.
Except for the schools, the process Of
Americanizing the children of these for
cigners would be slow and painful. The
records of Mondays enrolment show
the encouraging fact that wherever this
foreign population is most numerous the
demand for admission to the schools was
largest and Most promising,
The great hope of this republic'is in it's
public schools, and never in our history
was the need Of them so imperative as it
is now. They make Americans and they
tend to the obliteration Of race distino-
tions whose preservation would be dam
gerous. And. nowhere is the need so
great as it is in New York.
