OLD AGE PENSIONS.

REPLIES TO,GOLDWIN SMITH.
Cardinal NswmaaI Last Years.

To THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-Sir' The tone
Of Goodwin Smiths letter in last Sundays Sun
seems to dlsfavor q revolution In ethics, .
sentiment which will find . ready response In
every mind attuned 10 justice and truth.
As Goodwin Smith says, Christian ethics
have given birth to the warrior a. well a. the
martyr, TO the virtues Of the softer a. we'll as
those Of the stronger sex. Communities
which have kept lis rule, a. we'll a. lndivid-
uals, have been happy. The Christian ideal
OF character and life was the same In Anselm'
Thomas Kempis and 81. Louis as u Il In
their counterparts now.
Professor Smith s question, In Whist respect
has Christian ethics failed. 40 far as our con-
eeptlons eXtendi" answers Itself II has not
failed
Professor Smith sees the inutIlity Of setting
up the Greek ideal OF ethics against the Chris
tlan standard. a. preemlnence among the
Greeks extended to literature and art not TO
morals. Nor would he favor morality based
on nature only. With all Christian moral
lists. he recognizes the inferiorlty OF mere
natural virtue.
In q postscript Professor Smith asks: Did
Newman In the latter part OF his life take any
active part In proselytlsm?" II BY prose-
ytism Is meant activity in converting
Protestants the answer Is assuredly In the
Affirmative.
As Newman's years increased his energies
we're redoubled In drawing Protestants into
the true fold by his writings, preaching leo
tures and personal relations. Anglican and
other ministers hocked from all parts Of
England and the United States for advice
to Newman in his declining days. Many
became Catholics, some OF whom are In
the ranks Of the priesthood. others In the
hierarchy. WALTER j. SHANLEI.

Mail Service to Buenos Ayres.

In view of the renewal of the effort TO
pass the ocean mail bill at this session
special interest attaches to a letter and
an enclosure received a few days ago by
THE Sun from an esteemed correspond
Cnt in Buenos Ayres. The enclosure is
a clipping from the we'll known Argen-
tine newspaper La PrCHsd, Of March 81
II reports the sailing days and the des-
tnation of the vessels listed for depart
ure from Buenos Ayres during the month
Of April, Sixty-five vessels are reported,
one-half Of them being mail steamers.
There are twelve outward mails to Genoa,
four 10 Southampton, three to Marseilles,
two each to Bordeaux, Hamburg and Liv-
erpool one 10 Bremen, one TO Barcelona,
and one 10 New York. Out Of twenty
eight mailings to North Atlantic ports and
markets, twenty-seven we're TO Europe
and one 10 the United States.
Our correspondent says, "Hpre is n
sample Of direct communication with
the United States; one mail and passen-
ger steamer a month between Buenos
Ayres and North America. There is a
weekly service to Southampton by the
Royal Mail. This is the way our mail
reaches lis from New York; letters dated
February l3 % received March q, and
letters dated February 20 to March 3
received March 2S, Is it any wonder
that American firms do nothing in the
Argentine?' II is not true that Ameri-
can firms do nothing in the Argentine.
In spite of our utterly inadequate mail
and passenger facilities our sales have
increased from $1,000 900 in 1897 to $780,
100000 in 1907. But even that trade gives
us only II per cent. of a market which
ought to come to us for one-half Of its
requirements.
The yearly purchases Of the east coast
Of South America, region for which the
ocean mail bill provides aproper service,
now amount to $500, 10000 a year, of which
our share is s55,OOO,OOO. The imports of
that area have practically doubled within
the last five years. There is every prob
ability that within the next ten years they
will reach 81 OO,OOO,OOO Our share Of the
business lldependupon ourmail service.
These countries buy comparatively little
in the line Of foodstuffs Their imports
consist mainly Of manufactured goods.
The share of their trade which would be
opened TO us by an adequate mail service
means busy wheels in American shops and
factories, and dollars directed into the
pockets Of American wage earners.

The Gentleman COaChman" In Eng
land,


The last Of the yearly parades Of the
real mail coaches in London took place
in 1898. "The road came TO an end in
1870 That is how that Disraelian hero
Lord ALGERNoN SAINT MAUR expresses
the death of genuine business coaching
in England. Oddly enough, uniquely
perhaps the more Of business coaching
was, the more Of sport il was cOnsid-
cred. Lord ALGERNoN SAINT MAUR is
sad and contemptuous about pleasure
coaching" which he gives as the oppo-
site Of "the road When "the road"
came to an end he himself went in for
pleasure coaching but, he says, it
seemed sadly tame and lifeless. There
was no aim in it, no reason for going a
long way, no practice in handling all
sorts of teams. He gives an instance of
such practice. Once in the good old
times when he was driving the Devon
port stage IA 227 mile run from LOndon)
an hoster at some remote country inn
reached after dark asked him il he had
noticed anything peculiar about the
horses, which were being taken out
then. NO said Lord ALGERNoN, "ex-
cept that they went bit wide at first"
There isn't an eve among the four"
said the hostler.
Pleasure coaching pure and simple,
which Lord ALGERNON finds so insipid,
was quite as old as the road" OLIVER
CROMWELL was one Of It's first amateurs,
and in his time there were very few busi-
ness coaches on the road, il there we're
any. But pleasure coaching in imitation
of the road "a different matter is quite
modern. 1t began about 1864, when some
amateurs reminiscent Of the glories and
strenuosities Of the old stage journeys
started, in expensive competition with
the unromantic railroads, various coaches
out Of London, inviting thereto, not only
70 relieve the strain on their purses but
10 make the thing more real the senti-
mental patronage of the public, and copy
ing the past as closely as possible. The
revival Of coaching in the sixties as this
pdstichs is called in England, has gone
on pretty steadily, and this year five
or six such histrionic vehicles are plying
from the capital.
Mr.. 4. G. VANDERBILT, who opened
his season on the classic Brighton road

has to himself, is not the first American

The Preservation OF the Christian Ideal

To TIRE EDITOR OF THF SUN-Sr 10 is q
pity that your distinguished correspondent
Goodwin Smith always mars any good point
he makes by some display Of prejudice. usu-
ally irrelevant to his subject In his letter
entitled is There to BE Revolution In
Ethics'" he points out thatf free thinkers and
postivists are indebted TO Christianity for
the moral principles and aspirations which
they ostensiby oppose, and that the sub
stitution Of a new ideal from the Greek moral
lists Is not an improvement but rather a
deterioration. This seems 10 me the trend
Of bis argument Then he says
The Christian ideal OF character and ufe went
essentially unchanged through the violence Of the
Middle Ages and the vices OF the PapScy. II was
somewhat perverted BY AscetcISm; but II was the
same In Anselm, Thomas 4 Kemps and st. Louis
as In their counterparts now
II Is a matter Of history that the influence
Of the Popes was greatest during the Middle
Ages. and that st, Louis. Anselm and Thomas
Kempis were faithful sons Of the Church
Of which the popes we're the supreme head.

Of character and life went essentially un-
