Japan,a ship subsidtes.

BOSTON, Mass. Nov. 22.-To the Editor
of The Bee: That report on the ship
subsidies OF Japan, on which you comment
editorially as proof that such national aid
does not always increase commerce, is
very misleading in it's figures. The COM
parison comes oown only to 1sO6-1s07. Up
to that time the subsidized japanese lines
had not yet succeeded in driving American
ships off the Pacific ocean, and all the
largest and most efficient carriers were
stnl flying the American flag.
Now all but one Of the American steam
ers out Of Puget sound have succumbed to
this unequal competition, and a comparative
statement Of the usefulness of Japanese
subsidies to Japanesef would
have a different look, indeed. On the
Orient-San Francisco line, several large,
fast American steamers are still running,
It should be understood that American
freight shippers and American and Euro
pean passengers prefer American ships,
and the American management Of a steam
ship line Is unquestionably more exact, ef-
ficient and economical than foreign man
aEement-this San Francisco line, for ex-
ample, being run by an American naval
officer, a gentleman Of marked force and
executive ability, comparable with one Of
our great railroad men. But for these
natural advantages, which Japanese sub
sides have only slowly overcome, the
American flag would long since have been
swept completely off the Pacific ocean.
The United States has never tried
subsidies. II has tried mail contracts, and
the practical results wherever American
steamship lines run are a splendid Yindica-
ton Of that policy. There are several
strong mail lines under the American
flag from Atlantic ports 70 the West
Indies and Mexico, Wherever they go
American trade Overtops European trade,
and is growing in far greater proportion.
Tho principal American west India line,
which began with three OF four small
ships, now has more than a dozen fine,
great, AmerieAn-built steamers-so that the
traveller in West Indian ports frequently
sees his country's fms floating, as II
ought, at the stAffs Of the best vessels IN
those waters.

0MAHA'S WIDE STREETS
PROVE GENERAL BLESSING
Although Expensive Because of Paw
ing, They Are Worth While,
Owing TO Heavy Traffic.

p Omaha's wide streets have often been the
cause Of grief to property owners, because
OF the cost OF paving, but they are prov
ing their value in a new way since the
old-time means OF locomotion rave changed
so radically.
In a great many cities, like Boston, Phil
adelphiR and St. Paul, the streets are SO
narrow that vehicles are compelled to go
up one side Of the street and down the
other, under the direction Of policemen.
In other cities, like New York, fast NOV
ing vehicles. such as automobiles and car
riages, are confined to the street car tracks
so far as practicable, the space on either
side Of the tracks being reserved for
slower rigs.
In Omaha automobiles run freely on
either side OF the car tracks, without
trouble. The tracks occupy fifteen feet only
OF the sixty-foot width OF the street. This
allows plenty Of space for the passing Of
every kim Of vehicle on either side of the
tracks. Auto drivers take full advantage
Of the generous space allowed and are
never kept back for want Of free room in
which to travel.
Further west. in Salt Lake City for ex-
ample, the streets are even wider than in
Omaha" said Assistant City Engineer
Camper. and in Lincoln there are several
streets that are wider than ours, but there
is now no question OF the value Of wide
streets. Owners OF autos and large auto
trucks may not realize II, but the streets
OF Omaha undoubtedly have a greatly In
creased value for general purposes because
Of their width. Here vehicles OF all kinds
pass one another freely, without trouble or
delay; and n the users OF our streets would
go TO some other cities fer a time they
would quickly realize Il was a wise
bunch which made the foundsrs OF the
city break away from the idea that narrow
streets were desirable"

PAVING DovER's STREETS.

/ I is evident that the people of Dover are di-
vded with respect to the exact amount
that should be expended for street paving. The
Legislature passed bill, which had little or
no opposition at the time, empowering the Town
Council to appoint Street and Sewer Commits
sion which may expend as much as SI6o,5 500 for
paving. The commission has authority to Sc
leet the kind Of paving material TO be used and
to name the streets which are to be paved. I'm
der the law the power Of the commission is abb
solute As understand it there can be no
appeal to Council and citizens have no further
say in the matter. The commissioners are thus
vested with autocratc authority. 1t is needless
TO add that these powers should be exercised
with the greatest amount of care.
The owners Of the properties facing the
streets which are to be improved are required
to pay two-ffths of the expense of paving while
the town pays three-hfths. By following this
plan it seems to us Dover will avoid the trouble
we have had in Wilmington through an effort
to make property owners of the present pay
for paving although property owners of the
past have enjoyed paving done at the expense Of
the city.
The town of Dover under the law is to expend
100000 and the property owners S665oo Mr..
j. Hall Anderson, bright young lawyer of Do
ver who did such good work in investigating
the Kent Jail matter, points out that the expense
of the paving will be greater than that of sup
porting the towns public school system Evil
IDENTIFY he thinks that Dover "has bit off more
than it can chew
The sentiment seems TO be pretty general in
the State capital that street improvements are
needed Some Of the principal streets of the
town certainly should be made better, but just
how much can be expended is the question. And
it will be a preplexing one before it is settled.
Perhaps the commission may decide to proceed
in a more modest manner and not expend the
sum authorized That is Mr.. Andersons sug-
gestion.

CHILDREN'S DAY
AT GRACE CHURCH

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
I beheld Children's Day at Grace NJ.
r. Church. With Old Glory's capac-
ious folds spread upon the altar rail,
and with huge ferns and gigantic
palms on either end of spacious
platform, and divinity moving quietly
and modestly around and surrounded
by femininity, all Of which produced
an inexpressable sublimity that Great
ed within me a sense Of magnanimity
that caused me TO conclude that I
must be good. So squeezing myself
into as little space as possible, felt
as gay and happy as 1 did in 1858,
when I played a more conspicuous
part on such occasions than now.
With every available seat occupied
and with the soft. sweet strains Of
the instrumental music stimulating
them to action, that immense school
took up the march, led by the choir.
and stepping to the time of Onward
Christian Soldiers" emerged from the
Sunday school apartments through the
east door, down the east and up the
west isle in q procession made Of
children wearing a broad smile and a
happy countenance. indicating that
they thought that was their day out,
and that they were just about the
thing But when the march had end
ed, the next. but not least thing that
caught our view and admiration was
a coach occupied by one of the in
fantile order escorted by a young Miss
of the sable hue. who had brought up
the rear of the long procession and
halted in the cross isle, near where
we sat. I think they were the hap
piest and most contented looking in
dividuals in all that vast audience.
They made ono slight mistake, how
ever, Of not lowering the coach top
and giving that happy cooling kid"
a chance to take in the whole thing
without having to peer around the
side of the TOP. But that part was
too comical for anything.
The infants escort was not the least
interesting person in that assembly by
any means. for after her large white
eyes had taken I'm the sights she did
not forget her duty to her precious
charge. After the novelty of the
dazzling sights had become a little
monotonous. and the little fellow be-
gan to show signs of tire, that coach
was iostled gently to pacify IT, and a
very artificial sucking device was
placed to its lips, which answered the
desired end. But one Of the anus
ing things about that baby was that
while he was not on the program as O
singer, when the different classes
would sing, he chimed in, in a sort of
broken time that did not hurt the
melody in the least.
/ must say by way of congratulation
for those ladies who had those children
in training that it is marvellous to see
what degree of perfection they at
tained in their performance, and on
the whole 1t was a high day.
