It is not absurd to suppose that WITHIN nIty

and OF many citizens who have seriously thought
about the subject, is to cultivate a desire and

to do along the line of municipal development
in pursuance Of a well considered design, thus
working slowly, If necessary, but steadily, tow
ard the fulfilment of a fine ideal.
That is assuredly worthy and practicable
proposal New-York, expanding an enormous
sum on public betterments, has here and there
achieved creditable results. But its imposing
monuments are almost wholly unrelated. 1t is
time to abandon the haphazard practice of the
past and adopt policy for the future-such a
policy as the Municipal Art Society, with sa-
gacity and honorable civic spirit invites the
public to consider and encourage.

Bile thing called honor which requires fur
Their sacrifices of human life
It is greatly to be doubted that the world at
large will sympathize with that code Of honor.
Men will think that IT would be better and
more honorable for Russia frankly to confess
herself beaten and her aggressive designs OF
Observation-Disclosures in the Far East defeated,
and to ask for peace, than for her to sacrifice
tens of thousands more lives in q vain attempt
to carry out her purposes in Manchuria and
Corea They will see-they now SEEM such

fought for the sake of human freedom, or for any
other noble purpose which might make such
thing necessary, it would be admirable--as were

sake of sordid spoliation or for the maintenance
of a duellist's code of honor, it is one of the
most shocking and revolving things in the
world
We are not speaking lightly OF honor. 1t is
one of the highest and noblest motives known
to man. But this Interpretation OF It, that
would doom myriads Of unofending men TO
dreadful deaths for no purpose other than to
save the pride of a nation that has been de-
feated in a self-sought war. is something with
which we cannot sympathize and upon which the
world will not look with approval.

STRIKE DISSERTATIONS.

The strike has impressed upon the community
several lessons. 1t has been another forcible
reminder when no other was needed, Of how
many people there are in this great city; OF how
vast is the multitude that lives, not across
either of the big rivers, but somewhere more or
less vaguely, uptown" We have grown accus-
toned to- thinking that one of the largest ag-
gregatons of people in the United States lives
over the East River, and that there are almost
numberless suburban communities across the
North River which daily empty their bread
winners into Manhattan; but the frightful con-
gestion Of north and south bound traffic which
was caused by the strike hardly affected the
communities east and west. It was uptown and
The Bronx coming face to face with itself, dis
covering and, incidentally, revealing to others,
it's might.
There has been evidenced, by the sudden sus-
pension of the facilities we had, the remark
able geographical, political and other
handicaps being considered-of the usual trans
its shortcomings, the public has now come 20
appreciate the clockwork regularity, speed and
capacity it has under normal conditions
There has been revealed again the good humor
of crowds. Sorely tried, misery has had abun-
dant company, and for the most part has net
the reasonable demands Of good fellowship. 1t
has been patient and long suffering and inter-
estingly ingenious In trying to get the better of
circumstances. "A great many residents of up
per New-York have found means of getting up
and down town that they had not dreamed of
before; and, though it may seem good to them
to get back to the old rut the memory of the
wider experience-the sudden departure into
new ways-is not wholly unpleasant
There has come finally, the inevitable proof
of the interdependence of all our activities and
of the basic character Of the transportation
problem. Not able to get downtown, what could
be simpler than to telephone. until one dis
covered that the human link essential to tele-
phone service had also been. strikebound? Max
ing heroic efforts to keep an appointment, one
was likely to find no one TO meet Unable to go
or to telephone, one could at least write note:
but the mails were delayed We are learning
TO save ourselves great deal of running about,
but the transportation problem remains vital
