Prejudice and Columbus Day.

Prejudice and Columbus OhS'
To tho Editor OF the Evening Star:
In looking over the local newspapers
of the last few days I cannot help but
notice that they fail to refer to Co
lumbus Day Since the enactment Of
the law creating October 70 a legal
holiday in this State 1t has amused me
to hear some people refer to that day
as italian Day" 1t is true, as we all
know, that Christopher Columbus was
an Italian, but when he discovered
America he did not do SO for the benefit
of Italians alone, as we can readily see
when we consider what a cosmopolitan
country we live in. Inasmuch as this
Is 80, why should not all nationalities
which go to make up the American
people honor the name of the greatest
explorer the world has ever known?
1t seems strange that when Italians
undertake to do anything to promote
the welfare of the public at large that
the very same public will not cooper
ate; in fact, there are some who would
do all in their power to hinder. But
let some other nationality undertake
anything and the attitude is changed.
In justice to the ,Italians-a most
progressive nation-in justice to fair
play, I think the newspapers should do
their share toward honoring Columbus.

BELAScO'S DISSIPATION.

David Belasco, the playwright, has
reformed. UP to a short time age he
did most OF his work between the hours
of II o'clock at night and 8 in the
morning. He kept himself walk by
drinking black coffee, and his valet had
orders to put before him every half
hour a fresh pot of It.
Recently, however, Mr.. Belasoo's
friends and physicians have persuaded
him to sleep at night and work in the
daytime. He drinks only two cups Of
coffee a day.-Popular Magazine.

a WILSON OVATION IN PATERSON.

e1a HERE have been many omens of impending disaster for the
party in power in New Jersey, but none more significant
than the extraordinary turnout in the city of Paterson last
night and the extraordinary sentiment that pervaded the great
meeting. If Woodrow Wilson had entertained any doubts of his
election they were surely dispeled when he faced that audience
in the home city of his Republican antagonist and saw the earnest
faces of men, many of them Republican voters, who had come to
tell him that Paterson and Passaic county responded to Essex and
Mercer and Hudson and South Jersey in the great popular move
ment for a reform change in the State government and the exul-
sion of the moneychangers from the temple where the peoples
laws are made.

COMING DOWN TO SHARP DETAILS.

II I is hardly likely that the representatives of the Republican
"old guard in this State who have complained that Woodrow
Wilson was talking glittering generalties will any better like
his speech as he comes down TO sharp details. At Paterson last
night he made il clear to an immense and delighted audience that
he had full command Of the details and was just letting himself
out. There were no ifs and ands in his language, and there was
one ringing declaration that sent a thrill through the great audi
ence-"I shall feel that justice has miscarried when it stops short
of the top. The most guilty man is the one who sees how the law
can be broken and orders it done. The law must find him or fall
Truly here is a prophet such as this State never heard speak before.
The scribes and pharisees of the Republican party quake at his
voice. 1t is that of one inspired pronouncing Judgment upon them
and their trading alliances with the special interests. 1t is
prophecy of the overthrow of their muchabused power in the State
government.

How typical of college impulses was
the gathering of undergraduates at
Prospect" on Monday evening. They
assembled a thousand strong, not to
manifest partisanship in a political
way, but to pay to their retiring presi-
dent, Woodrow Wilson, the tribute Of
regard, of appreciation and of friend
ship. Woodrow" as he is known in
undergraduate circles, is about to en-
ter other fields. His resignation is be-
fore the trustees. His cause is before
the people, and shortly he will go forth
to the post of honor to which he has
been called. Something of all this
must have been borne in upon the
young men as they gathered at historic
"Old North" and marched solemnly to-
ward the presidents home. Those who
nave participated In the closing enc
OF college life, who have experienced
the emotions, the elation and the heart
pangs of that eventful moment, will
appreciate the true significance of what
followed. Woodrow talked to the
fellows from their midst. He was
one of them again. The years had
rolled back, leaving him standing upon
the threshold of life, his college days
ended, and his life-work before him.
Some of the pathos, the sadness n
the heart-burnings hat touch the feel
ings of the boys as they gather at such
a time to say good-by to the dear old
life and to one another must have
fallen upon President Wilson then.
Some of the firm purpose and resolve
which animate every true son of
Princeton to bring honor to Old Nassau
must also have swayed him when he
said: "In contemplating leaving Prince
ton and saying good-by to you young
fellows, I am guided by the strong be-
lief that / shall do so, not as a poll
tician, but as a Princeton man going
forth to do his duty and to put the
stamp Of Princeton upon the affairs of
the country" With every heart-throb
beating in unison with this sentiment
Princeton's hosts send back the mighty
response, Good luck, Woodrow; you
must win-for your country and for
Princeton"

AN ANXIOUS DAY FOR SPAIN.

oa OMORR0W will be a critical day for the Spanish government.
The ghost of Professor Ferrer stalks through the land. The
man whom a stupid ministry sacrificed, despite even the
intervention of the Vatican, is far more menacing to the monarchy
in his death than he was in his life. The successful revolution in
Portugal has had its natural effect among the Spanish masses, and,
as tomorrow will be the anniversary of Ferrer's execution, a
popular ferment is sure to occur. How serious it will be no man
can foresee.

Today is a legal holiday. 1t is set
OF u country may be fittingly COM
memorated. 1t will be observed in
various ways, but, in the main, tribute
will be paid to the memory of the dar-
ing ,Genoese, the intrepid navigator, the
italian, whose achievement prepared
the way for our present greatness
Christopher Columbus. 1t was not his
lot to set foot upon the mainland Of
this country, but his glory is not les
sened because of that fact. Across the
waste of waters he was the first to set
sail. In a frail craft, with imperfect
instruments, hampered by q mutinous
crew and sustained only by his sublime
faith In the ultimate success of his
venture, he came at length to land,
and the Old World and the New World
were Joined together. His achievement,
great as 1t was, brought him no glory.
He died discredited and unhonored.
Recognition Of his service was slow in
manifesting itself, but today it finds
full expression. His countrymen, faith
full citizens of this republic, prominent
In it's social, civic and commercial life,
will do him reverent honor. So also will
all loyal citizens of a nation whose in
exhaustible and freedom-in-
viting shores were brought to view by
his courage and intrepidity. In life
honor and glory were denied him. In
death his memory is venerated and his
name is enshrined in Immortality.

Some men, especially those seeking
public favor, are mindful Of their rec
ords. Their principal concern seems to
be to shape their course in harmony
with consistency. George L. Record,
of Hudson, is a glaring instance of the
exception to the rule. The limelight is
apparently his sole guide. It's allure
ments caus him to be- acrobatic in the
choice of his ideals. From the past
many instances might be cited in proof
of this statement. The present, how
ever. will suffice. Prior to the pri-
maries Mr.. Record was most vehement

Gated an uprising that would relieve
the people of the State and nation from
the evils of Republican misrule. Many
people believed him sincere. Today he
is stamping the State. in close comrade-
ship with the men whom he but lately
condemned, urging the election of the
Republican nominee upon a platform
which he did his utmos to defeat and
which stands for the things he opposed.
Strange what a change a mere nomina-
lion for Congress will make in a man,
even though all hope of election be de-
MED him.

A meeting is to be held tonight to decide definitely on the matter. and if the expected happens twenty-five thousand con ductors and gripmen will walk out in the morning. The men demand higher wages, the closed shop, and better conditions of work, and, as the traction companies are firmly of the opinion that they cannot afford to pay the higher wages asked, they will resist to the limit. It is proba- ble that Mayor Gaynor will confer with the union leaders and the off, cials of the traction companies and try and get them to submit their disputes to arbitration.
