other useful knowledge would be encyclopedia.
The wealth of concrete and specific facts
which are 70 be acquired or memory Of which

pertain 10 the names and achievements OF Hud-
son and his predecessors and immediate success
sors, and similarly TO those Of Fulton. They
pertain 20 the geographical nomenclature of the
region round about New York. Our familiar
Staten Island and few other names remain
substantially as they were given In Hudson's
tine; but how many persons are familiar with
the originals from which the corrupt and mean
fngless Arthur XIII" and "Coney Island" and
Robbins Reef have been derived? Or how
many could readily tel 10 what place Hudson's
companions gave the names OF "NOOten Island"
and "Hoofden"?
Beyond all this however is ,Derhaps the still

ENTERPRISE IN THE SOUTH.

The spirit of enterprise has not only entered
the South, but has taken root there and is
thriving 20 q notable degree. Following up the
appeal which the cotton manufacturers of he
South have addressed 20 Minister Crane. that
he would ascertain for them the reason why the
market for American cotton goods in China has
fallen of since the Russo-Japanese war, The
Columbia Is. c. State proposes TO the grow
ers and manufacturers of the South that they
raise a fund 90 promote the demand for their
goods abroad 'The State" estimates that a
contribution OF FIVE cents a bale on One-siXth Of
the cotton grown In the Southern States and
of 10 cents a bale on that manufactured would
produce a fund OF not less than $4,000 year
with which 10 cultivate the foreign demand for
American cotton goods. It estimates further
that could a demand be created for an add
tional 100000 bales II would bring an increase
OF Sl2OO0OOO TO the growers, and augment the
sales Of the manufacturers by from $20O00Oo0
20 $3OOO0OO0.
II is in this sort OF enterprise that the South
can count on having a true friend In the White
House during President Tafts administration.
As Secretary Dickinson said in his speech at
Nashville, the President has the interests Of the
South thoroughly at heart, quite apart from
any political considerations. And in their de-
termination TO promote the prosperity of their
own section, and especially In their efforts TO
foster American trade abroad, SOutherners may
rely on the cordial cooperation of the entire
country

lor and William Symington we have not ex-
hausted the catalogue of those whose claims to
consideration are too strong to be ignored.
IL has been remarked in connection with the
discovery Of the North Pole that not discovery
alone but also occupation and administration
are necessary TO the establishment of complete
title. VerrazanO's discovery was therefore not
sufficient. 1t required Hudson's exploration and
landing and preparation for permanent settle
ment TO invest him with the title which is uni
versally accorded to him to-day. So the pumps
OF Rumsey. the paddles OF Fitch and other
early devices fell short of the practical utility
which Fulton at last secured. With all due
sympathy with those who try but fail, the
supreme credit is given to him who succeeds.
IL may be that some discoverers preceded Yer
razanO and that some inventors preceded
BlascO de Gary. 1t would be rash to declare
confidently that any one was absolutely first
There were many brave men before Agameni-

clare who it was that transformed theory into

cient. The government means henceforth 70

The system is excellent In theory, always
granted that the governments agents are gifted
with sufficient wisdom. discretion and Integrity
to administer it Alright, though we are afraid
that TO describe them as possessing the requi-
site qualifications would bring this article under
the ban of the law against exaggerated COM
mendations 1t is TO be doubted whether any
mere men can meet the test any more than
patent food can be perfect And II the law
is not administered with infallible discretion
and integrity it is subject to the possibility OF
gross abuse. 1t is said, however, to be at
present beneficial and satisfactory In its opera
tions in Australia, and as 1t applies to exports
as strictly as to imports 1t certainly gives the
world an exalted opinion Of Australian COM
mercial ethics-unless some one should be cyni-
cal enough to suggest that Australia was the
only land In which such stringent legislation
was reckoned necessary!

tissues OF stocks and bonds, the manager feels
that he is expected TO earn interest and divl-
.dends thereon, and every time he is able to
increase the rate of profit by a fraction of
..per cent he adds to his reputation"
The managers of the proposed reOrganized
Third Avenue road would surely be under con-
slant pressure to earn the cumulative per
cent on the adjustment bonds, and the COM
mission, having permitted such a capitalization,
would certainly be embarrassed in endeavoring
10 obtain adequate service from them. The
managers would inevitably reply to its orders: :
why, we are not even now earning fair re-
turn on the capitalization which you yourselves
regarded as proper" The Third Avenue is at
present OverburGened with securities, and is IN
difficulties for that reason, and TO propose to
cure its troubles by adding TO those securities is
remarkable finance.

"JOY RIDING" MANSLAYERS.

Here is another case for Jersey justice. A
'.jOy rider has been arrested for homicide and
will have to face the serious charge which has
been practically established by his own re-
luctant confession. 1t seems that he took out
his employers automobile without permission.
That is, he stole it Then he and his cOmpan-
ions 'had several drinks" in consequence Of
which he ran the car recklessly. That is he got
drunk Under such circumstances he ran the
car over boy in the road and killed him. That
is he committed manslaughter. Finally, he
pretended TO go for a doctor to care for the
boy, when, in fact, he FASTENED away to con-
ceal himself and avoid the consequences of his
act That is. he lied and sneaked.
In brief, he was in the one episode thief, a
drunkard. a man slayer, liar and a coward.
A creature with that record should find easy
access to the state prison, ito encourage the
others" We are glad to be assured that the
number of such malefactors is small and Is de-
creaslng. But as hong as there is one OF the
tribe at large there is one too many, and the
rgOrs of the law should be applied to him as
surely as though he were one of thousand

PROPERLY REFUEED.

The Public Service Commissions action in
rejecting the application of the Third Avenue
Railroad COmpany's bOndhOlders' committee for
authority 20 issue securities in its proposed re-
organization Of the road is unassailable That
plan called for the increase of Sl5,0O0,O00 In the
capital OF a company that is now bankrupt
through it's inability 70 meet charges upOn the
securities it already has outstanding. IL would,
Indeed, have reduced the fixed charges Of the
road by substituting what would be in practical
effect preferred stOck-called, however, "ad-
iustment bonds" 10 improve the market for
them-for a portion OF the outstanding bonds.
Thus the road would be taken out OF bank
ruptcy, for the proposed fixed charges would
have been less than the probable income in
stead Of exceeding IL, as the present fixed
charges do.
But the new company would have been able
60 do little more than 10 meet its fixed charges.
The commission presents reasons for thinking
Mr.. Whitridges estimate of S1,200.000 available
for interest and dividends upon new securities
too generous. Mr.. Whitridge made no allow
ance for franchise taxes and, In the opinion of
the commission, an insufficient allowance for
depreciation when he reached the conclusion
that Sl.20OO00 would be available But even
taking Sl.2O00O0 as the probable sum, the COM
mission shows that the holders of the $4,000,
600 of adjustment bonds"-yirtually cumula-
tive preferred stock-could expect dividend Of
less than IL per cent The holders of the COM

This remarkable legislation is comprised I'm n

that end It invests government fInctionaries

Thus, lt is forbidden to advertise or TO de-
