TIE STATES GREATEST ENTERPRISE.

- TN Proposition Number One there is important constructive work
for voters to rntify. It authorizes tho State to issue bonds in
- amount not to exceed $19 100000 in order to create for the barge
canals terminals-that is "1ands,. docks, dock walls, ~bulkheads,
90 wharves, piers, slips, basins, harbors, structures, tracks, facilities and
equipment for loading and unloading and temporarily storing
=. freight"
OF the total sum authorized, s~9,74O,O0O may be spent in this city.
A Port of Call is to be made in North River, near Dyckman street.
The Gowanus Bay and Gsnsevoort Terminals will be dredged and
equipped so that grain cargoes may be transferred direct from barges
b to ocean-going vessels without storage. There are to be other ter
b minals at the foot Of West One Hundred and Thirty-ffth street, West
Seventy eighth street, West Fity-frst street, vcstry street, in the
present East River canal basin, at Grand street and East River, in
Sherman Creek, at One Hundred and Thirtysixth street and East
River, at One Hundred and Fifheth street and Harlem River, at the
junction Of Newtown Creek and East River and in Jamaica Bay.
sr But for these terminals where freight may be received and des-
patched without unnecessary handling and trucking, the barge canals
= would be Of as little practical use as a railroad which had no stations
and sidings and was compelled to drop its freight into fields along
: the way. The absence Of proper terminal facilities limited the value
of the old canal and has held back water transportation all over
the country.
- Give commerce adequate access to the States waterways, decree
that the terminals providing access shall never be alenated to private
> interests, and the railroads can never again paralyze barge transpor.
s'tstion by monopoGzing the water front. New industries, attracted
: by lower freights, will spring up all along the $500 miles of i'm
proved water front created by the new canals.
Register to-day that your vote may aid the passage of PROPOSE.
ton Number One, which authorizes the terminals, and the constitu.
tional amendment, marked Six on the ballot, which will preserve in.

Whose Little RVlZZie Are You?

THE CITY'S BIG FREE BEACH.

Y the action o. the Board of Estimate official sanction has been
given to The Evening Worlds campaign TO have the city
ACQUIRE prcsinlsrd for a seaside park, and the prospect has
been set far NJ the way to fulfllment. The Board has voted to spend
$1,000 900 for the purchase of a plot Of seven acres at Coney Island
including AL of Dreamland. The plot adjoins the present city park
and with it will give the people for their perpetual possession a great
stretch Of sand beach and seascape.
While Dreamland WAS still smoking five months ago, The Even
ing World launched its campaign for an extension of the park and
beach front already under municipal ownership. From the first the
project met with public and official favor. With the city now def
nitely behind it, a new future opens for this great beach, the summer
playground Of five million people. The municipal bathhouse, for
which this newspaper agtated SO long, is but a promise OF what shall
come to pass upon that shore.
The streets of the metropolis belong to the people. Increasingly
ito water front will be regained by the people and held for their
pleasure and traffic. Such has become the city's deliberate policy,
and is equally declared by the decisions to acquire Dreamland and to
purchase a mile of shore front along Rockaway Beach.

WHY BOOST APPLE PRICES?

~DEOPLE had better think twice before they take the advice Of
orehardists and middcmcn. These want everybody to cat
five apples a day, and so take care Of a crop larger by 25 per
cont. than last years. and a visible supply. not of j.. 100000 barrels,
- hut Of 20 100000.
~ The way to keep up prices is to increase consumption. The way
too decrease prices is 20 cut down consumption. The country tried
p" this plan in the 1910 meat boycott and understands its economies.
To eat more apples will he merely to standardzc the short cron
prices of last winter, They were much too high then. On the
a,street apples cost more than oranges. and the two-ccnt annie disap.
pcarcd; hrec cent. was the bottom price
AZ With a plentiful crop assured, better let consumption stay right
where it is, in order that everybody may win, in lower prices, his
little rebate from Natures bounty.

ladies of fashion have espoused the
votes for women" propaganda.
Mrs. Belmont invited them all up Il
Newport, drove them about town il
automobiles. had tea in her mansion
and drawing-room talks were politely
listened to by the bored ones among
the summer inhabitants. who were in
vited to be convinced, and by the
bored ones from the ranks But it was
lovely affair and it was regarded as
wonderful advance toward the goal
of political recognition.
| There was no discounting. though
the great procession of thousands oil
women who earlier marched down
Broadway to give visible demonstra
ton of their strength, and so it is toe
bad the leaders are now Frustrated
over the low down activity in their
behalf from wholly unexpected and
surprising source.
A certain Mrs. Gus Rubin, of Brook
lyn. has become infatuated with the
suffrage movement and has been work
ing with such ardour that in a section
OF that city where three months ago
not one suffragist was to be. found,
Mrs. Rubin has perfected an organiza-
ton of three hundred women, with
headquarters in a room just back Of
her husbands saloon.
CONSERVATION reigned in New York.
Mrs. Ida Harper who. since the
death of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and
Susan b. Anthony. has piloted the CO.
horts toward the higher civic life,
could not sleep one night from think
ing about it.
If it is necessary to establish head
quarters in saloon" she states, then
it is far better that the movement
should stop absolutely
Now this is just where Mrs. Harper
and her ilk show themselves lacking
in the true sporting spirit. Mrs. Gus
Ruhlin. in her opinion. and she may
be right for all anybody knows, thinks
she is quite as good as Mrs. Belmont
and Mrs. Harper Anyway if women
are going to vote, Mrs. Rubin and her
friends will vote as well as Mrs. Har-
per and her friends. And if the ex-
ponents of this movement are sim
cere they will welcome honest support
from every quarter.
Because woman's husband runs a
saloon is no reason why she isn't
an honest, intelligent and respectable
member of society. There's a GER
tain element that regards the saloon
in an orderly fashion, Just
as respectable as running a depart
ment store or any other sort of bust
ness 4.
Would the Mrs. Harpers faint and
turn pale if they heard headquarters
