have succeeded to justify him In trying It. He
may not underestimate the competition he Will
have to meet, but he has enough of the spirit OF
greater Americanism to make him feel tnat WIN
or lose, 1t Is worth while to take his chances
with the rest for the larger prizes.
As to the city itself-it does need the new
blood from the country and smaller towns. Every
year hundreds Of thousands of foreigners are
landed on American soil through the Port OF
New York and lamentably large proportion OF
them remain here. To counterbalance this inno"
of alien population there is constant need for
accessions of trained or capable natives from
outside. Country life may and should be made
more attractive than it Is. Every opportunity
should be given the rural regions to develop a
better satisfied and more competent race not
necessarily for their own benefit alone but De
cause It will inevitably result in sending to the
city men better qualified to meet the Increasingly
difficult problems which the cities. and through
the cities the nation, must face.

A EYpERT ON THE SUBWAY

The Opinion of Mr.. Bion J. Arnold the trac-
ton expert, that other subways are needed re-
inforces the popular impression. The relative
crovding during the rush hour period, ne
writes will not be decreased until other SUD-
WAYS are built" This becomes increasingly ap-
parent when the growth in the use OF the SUD-
way is examined. The ticket sales for 1905 were
116OoOOOO for 1905 150,OOO,OO0, for 1907 1885,
100000 and for 1908 POI 100000 In other words,
the patronag ge of the subway has almost doubled
in four years It would take more than rour
years to build an additional subway, even II
beginning could be made upon it at once.
Is the patronage Of the subway to double again
in the next four or five years!
Obviously IL cannot, because the present roau
has nearly reached It's maximum capacity MI
Arnold estimates that by lengthening the
trains, opening side doors In the cars and max
ing the projected changes at 96th street the
number of expresses an hour can be Increased
from thirty-three to forty. If every posslble
Improvement were made, including douDle
decking the, express stations, the maAllHuln
capacity of the subway could be increased to-
$4,000 passengers an hour TO o6oVO, WHICH
shows that q good deal may yet De done 10 ln-
prove the means of carrying the constantly III
creasing number of passengers In the subway,
but nothing affords promise Of relief from over
crowding except the building Of an additional
line.
One lesson of experience is that new sub
ways should be designed for greater carrying
capacity than the present one has. The cars
should be wider and station platforms longer
and In order to obvlate delays, express stations
should probably be double decked. And CON
sidering the great increase IN the present ilne
earning capacity that has resulted from the
ProoElyn extension such subways would IN
ouestionably profit from being extended into
Brooklyn Most OF the passengers from Brook
lyn on the present line turn out to be short
haul" passengers, and they are generally trav-
cling in the opposite direction from that In
which traffic in Manhattan is tending. Thus
they are almost clear gain for the Interior
ough company. This consideration may solve
tte fate Of the Fourth avenue subway In Brook-
frr If II Is NOT extended too far into unbuilt
territory. it may. operated in conjunction with
the Lexington avenue subway, prove very prof
liable.
