The Bo1ted Door

REFORE you are given few hints about
Forthcoming SUNDAY MACAzINE we
wish to prepare you for serial. a story
about New York ultrafashionable folk and
rank outsider who gets in by way OF matri-
mony. OF course you may guess right; but The
chances are that you are mistaken It's not
that kind of tale at all; but never so much
more unusual and interesting.
1t begins with extract from will. No.
the will wasn't lost; in fact, il was in fine work
ing order. And when YOU read that FIRST para
graph you'll need no urging at all To go on with
the story. which is really brilliantly written.
1t is by George Gibbs. who is not content with
the reputation he has as painter and Illus
traitor. but must enter the writing field as well
He writes even better than he paints which is
praise he will probably not like az ali The
Bolsed Door is strong story. almost novel
in the clearness and cleverness of its character
drawing and the picturesque fidelity with
which it presents phases of modern life. Its
people are real and human.
Before you may begin the new serial you
will have two fine instalments of the present
one. And there other particularly good
things i'll our next SUNDAY MAGAZINE.
GENERAL NELSON A. MILES goes after
Congress because proper appropriations
haven't been made for aeroplanes for use.
When one OF the greatest living experts on war
takes that position. what he says is worth read
ing. General Miles has keen interest in flying
machines. He has been studying them closely
And you know that when he writes it is always
with authority.

REBELLION IN ULSTER.

51Ta HE Liberal party in England returns to power pledged to
enact a home rule bill for Ireland. Ulster threatens rebel
lion in case such a change is made. Dispatches from Belfast
tell of preparations that are being made to resist by force of arms
the authority of a Parliament at Dublin. 1t is said that a large
fund is being subscribed for the purchase of arms and ammunition.
The Grand Orange Lodge has called on its members to prepare for
a struggle and to volunteer their services. This may be mere
bluster, intended to influence the British Parliament and give to
the House of Lords reasons for throwing out a home rule bill passed
by the House of Commons. But it presages stormy politics in Ire
land after an Irish Parliament shall come into existence. The
legend of the Battle of the Boyne has lost its sentiment every
where except in Ulster, and even in Ulster that sentiment is much
weakened. Home rule will give the Dublin government a right
and power to deal with rebellion in any part of Ireland. If Ulster
or the extremists there should organize a rebellion what would
follow would not be civil war, but merely a conflict between the
constituted authorities and a province in rebellion. Such action
by Ulster would also be defiance of the imperial government, and
the military arm of that government would be invoked to assert
it's authority.

worked on cars both in Rochester and
Buffalo, and in both these cities you'll
find signs placed on telegraph poles
reading as follows: ION all streets
where trolley cars are operated slow
moving vehicles must keep next to the
curb"
On the first offense a S. fine Is i'm
posed; $40 for the second and impris-
onment for the third.
Not until this has been dom ha the
public or the board any right to COM
plain about poor Roadway. Another
serious drawback In this city toward
trolley operation is the failure Of the
people to hurry in boarding and alight-
ing. Some even try to board a a on
the wrong side of the street. All these
things tend to make q car from three
to five minutes late, n the result Is
that on a four-minute Roadway line
YOU have to wait from seven to ten
minutes for one.
The main trouble is the congestion
at the corners, as each car gets from
five to ten minutes late from the Penn
sylvania railroad to the Court House,
which Is enough to throw each car out
of it's place, and often the crews are
compelled to turn back before reaching
their destination in order to get back
in their right position or location.
I advise the people to go after the
Board of Works and urge them to
widen Mechanic street as early as pos
sible in order to get the'South Orange
ard Springfield lines off Market street.
and also the widening of Commerce
street to permit a single track to be
laid there for the Bloomfield, Central
and Paterson lines by way of East Park,
Park place, Park street. Mulberry
Commerce streets to the Pennsylvania
Railroad depot eastbound, and by way
Of River, Front and Centre streets,
past Saybrook place terminal on the
westbound journey. This will eliminate
the curve at the -Four Corners. Tracks
should be aid on Washington street
for the full distance, from Broad to
Clinton avenue, for the Mt. Prospect
and Main line cars, and instead OF the
Roseville, Turnpike and Hackensack
cars turning in Central avenue they
should turn into Washington at Broad.
This would be necessary on account
of the cars turning into East Park
street on the new route.
After this change has been per-
formed and the company is enabled
to keep to their schedule then perhaps
you'll say that the system isn't so
rotten after all. 1 myself say that
we'll have a ,frst-class system.

1H HE "big stick at Washington has become historical foose

that it attracted attention and won wondering comment III
Furope. But Roosevelt had his limits. He respected the ConstHu-
ton. He never attempted to usurp the powers OF the nauoha
legislature. He did not try to force the election of men oil us
personal choice for members of the Senate or House. he enun
ciated and maintained policies, but he did not use his patrona2e
to bend Legislators TO his will. Mr.. Roosevelt was a constitutional
President who kept we'll within his prerOgatve and also within
his narty for he never while President went out of it to affiliate
and advise with members of the opposite party. The pig stPK

ment: 81 am the Governor and the Legislature, and am the con
science of the State. All power resides in me. am the State"
And the "big stick" is in evidence for weeks before the term of the
present Governor is to end.

AN OUTSIDE MENz@f IN STATE POLITICS..

IN HE New York ETFning Post is the recognized organ Of the
great corporate interests in Wall Street. When Roosevelt
offended and antagonized these interests the Post was the
principal medium through which Wall Street displeasure was Wis
tied upon him. During and after the New York State contest this
year the columns of the Post were filled with the coarsest and most
yirulent abuse of Roosevelt. The resources of the English language
were exhausted in bounding Roosevelt This INSCRIPTIONS abuse
of a public man and former President at the behest of selfish inter
ests would have caused a popular reaction in favor of the candidate
favored by Roosevelt but for other and more potential factors in the
campaign. Governor Dix was elected in spite of the Post and its
virulence. The Post has lately transferred it's venom to New Jersey,
where it is little read, and to New Jersey politics, which it doesn't
understand. AS a freetrade organ of the foreign importing in
terests the Post sees an opportunity for these interests in the
election of a free-trade United States senator from New Jersey.
and if unsinted vilifcation can accomplish that object the Post
has a large stock of it left over from it's indecent campaign against
Roosevelt.

tines was not. Now, I contend that
because he received $4,000 votes, be-
cause the primary vote does not signify
the vote of the people.
Now to prove Mr.. Smith was elected
by popular election.
There was printed and spread broad
cast across the State a cartoon with a
picture of a political banner with Mr..
Wilson, and in the pictures were also
the pictures of Smith, Nugent and
Davis. On the top were the words,
TOO thin" and on the bottom were
the words, Same old gang" showing
that If Wilson was elected 1t would
mean the election of Mr.. Smith.
Republican spellbinders were in
structed to preach this doctrine wher-
ever they went, and one speaker at a
his plea to the voters: political in
gratitude is the worst kind of ingrati-
! tude. If Mr.. Wilson is elected it means
the election of Mr.. Smith. If you want
Mr.. Wilson you want Smith"
And Wilson was elected by $4,000
majority.
Now, If you were made to understand
that the election of one nan meant the
election of another and If you voted
for that man you voted for both.
Now, in conclusion, as to DR.. Wilson,
let me say that he has walked into the
trap laid for him by the Republican
bosses.
They have dared Mr.. Wilson to come
out on the question and he came out
and caused a commotion which will put
the Republican bosses back in control
by splitting the Democratic party.
1 leave this to the people that sup
ported me at the primary as my honest
opinion and ask them If they didn't
believe they were voting for Senator
Smith when they voted the Democratic
ticket.

FOR A GHETTO FOR ME NEGRO.

cTH HERE is seeming impartially as between the white and black
races in Baltimore in the ordinance passed by the Baltimore
City Council, signed yesterday by the mayor, segregating
the races by blocks. The ordinance provides that no white person
may move into a block in Baltimore where the majority of the
residents of that block are negroes, nor may a negro move into
a block where the majority of the residents are white. Baltimore
negroes do not object to the presence of white people in their
neghborhoods, and there is not a case on record of such protest.
On the other hand, it is well enough known that white people, as
a rule, do object to the presence of negro residents and to their
coming into white neghborhoods. The objection is not peculiar
to Baltimore, for it is common in all cities, and its effect is to
impair thu. value of real estate In blocks that have negro residents
1t is obvious, therefore, that the ordinance is aimed against the
negro only and intended to establish the ghetto system for him.
This ordinance is to be subjected to the scrutiny of the courts. and
\ 10 reasonable to believe that it will be set aside.

THE GREAT TRAGEDY IN NEW YORK.

eTa HE explosion in the New York Central railroads powerhouse
yesterday, which killed and injured many people, might have
been much worse in it's effects and the dead might have
been numbered by hundreds. In a city like New York human Ire
is at all times encompassed by unseen and unknown dangers. \
vast amount of explosives is stored in buildings in New York and
is often handled by ignorant or reckless persons. Builders tale
hazardous chances in construction, and the great modern utilities
that are so largely in use represent constant peril to the pubic.
The public utilities companies try to minimize these perils and
as far as possible abolish them, but no safeguard can eHectually
provide against human carelessness and against the unknown. The
use of explosives in a crowded city cannot be too strictly regu-
lated and controlled. In no city is there anything like a perfect
system of control. The tragedy in New York yesterday might be
enacted tomorrow in Boston, Philadelphia or Chicago. 1t might
be repeated in New York.

Aviation has come to stay. There
can be no two ways of thinking about
that now. 1t has been made a branch
of college athletics. A number of old
fashioned folk persisted until yester-
day in regakhing the biplane and the
m%onoplane as toys, even after seeing
them fly. That view must have been
radically revised in the last twenty
four hours.
The first intercollegiate aviation
meet, 1t is announced, will be held next
spring between Harvard and Columbia
at Belmont Park. Preparations for
the unique carnival already are under
way.
Perhaps in a sport like this, which
is hazardous plus, 1t might be a good
plan radically TO revise the rules down
ward before the first season. The I'M
expected might happen with so dull
and sickening a thud that an outraged
public would refuse to listen to any
rev rule talk but would insist upon
a%bolishing it forthwith.

There have been too many oppor-

that a proposed Anglo-American ALI

Now that Representative Champ
Clark openly advocates a revision of
the rules which will make possible the
selection of the House committees by a
committee on committees there is little
left for anyon to say.
Such revision of the rules will curtail
seriously the power of the speaker, and
since Mr.. Clark, at the present writ
ing, seems to nave the call on the
speakership and is the one man who
stands to lose most by the change, his
views on the subject naturally carry a
lot of weight.
The situation resolves itself to this:
If ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Clark
is satisfied with the proposed check on
the powers of the speaker, why

cised all but unlimited power so long

MARCO POLo'S BOOK.
II Gave Columbus the Idea For His
Voyage Of Discovery

II Gave Columbus the Idea For His
Voyage Of Discovery.
Medieval europe knew but very lit
tie Of eastern aud northeastern Asia.
Many Of the most learned cosmogra-
piers Of the time taught that Asia
stretched eastward indefinitely, and no
one imagined that it had an eastern
coast washed by the ocean. 1t was Sc
riously taught that eastern Asia was
land Of vast swamps, inhabited by
monster serpents and dragons. This
was the opinion that still prevailed up
10 within 200 years Of the time Of Co
lumbus.
At this time two Venetian merchants
OF the name Of Polo went on a vast
trading expedition to the uttermost
parts Of Asia. They were gone many
years Upon their return the son Of
one Of them, young man named Mar
co Polo, wrote out full account Of
their travels, described the empire Of
the grand khan 0he Chinese EMPEROR
and revealed the fact that Asia was
bounded on the east by vast ocean
He described this eastern coast mi
nutely, with all It's vast cities and its
wealth Of precious stones and spices.
II was from reading this book that
the imagination Of Columbus was fred.
and he conceived the bold idea Of
reaching this eastern coast OF Asia BY
sailing toward the west around the
earth.
SO when he discovered Cuba he had
not a doubt that he had landed upon
the coast of Asis and that be looked
upon the same scenes that Marco Polo
had gazed upon 200 years before
