TRANSPORTATION.

The most casual observer cannot
fail to see that the ridge along the
Palisades section from Nyack to Ho-
boken is not blessed with proper
transportation facilities. AS a result,
one Of the most inviting sections
around the city for residential pur-
poses is building up but slowly COM
pared to many sections on the east
side of the Hudson. Palisade,
blessed in many ways as to charm OF
location is still much handicapped by
a ack of transportation. 1t is the
one essential to force population and
raise values
Railroads, however, are not going
to build themselves. Those who cry
for them must also work for them.
If proper effort were directed, it
should not be difficult to finance
line of electric train service (thlrd
raid from Nyack to Hoboken, pass
ing through Coytesville, Fort Lee,
Palisade, Grantwood, and on down
through Union Hill to the Hoboken
terminal to tap the McAdoo tunnel.
There could be provided through
Weehawken a route either by ele-
waited or subway, to make this line
not only feasible but real. All that
is demanded is organized effort. The
man who could best do this impor-
tant work and carry it through to a
successful finish is William G. Nc
Adoo. With all of his tremendous
force in planning and doing, it looks
as though this big work should fall
upon him. 1t isn't nearly as big as
his tunnel system, but it would open
up another territory of 100000 or
100000 available population, which

ISLANDERS.

1t is not as difficult to define the
meaning of as it is the limits of SLAM
der. A dictionary says that SANDER
is "a false tale or report, or such
tales or reports collectively, uttered
with malice and designed or tending
to injure the reputation of another;
also, the utterance of such tales or re-
ports"
This is very simple declaration,
and covers all that could define the
word. But as to the limits Of SLAM
der, there are none The human brain
is imaginative and receptive 1t takes
impressions alike from what it sees
as from what it hears. When man
becomes Indifferent to what he hears,
which means what is brought to him,
there will be less SANDER A thing
becomes fact to many minds be
cause somebody said So" or because
it "looks like it might be true" This
is poor justice to the man who is in
nocent Of an imaginative tale that
originates nowhere and comes from
the Il can't remember who told me"
class. To the right thinking mind
SANDER is impossible, yet thoughtless
people are constantly guilty. A cur
dent "rumor" or report" about a per-
so nfrequently does irreparable harm
because someone dares to repeat
something that was never run down
or about which the truth was never
sought, The greatest and best asset
any man has is his good name, and
when that is gone all is gone
who steals my purse steals trash,
but he robs me of my good NAME"
etc, comes near to measuring up the
position of the slanderer when he has
done his work.
A good rule to follow is never to
repeat what you do not know to be
fact
What one hears is more times that
a few wrong, anyhow A tendency to
distortion is a miserable habit. What
we accept as ordinary gossip is more
times than enough pure SANDER. 1t is
as reprehensible to repeat what one

Italians Enthusiastic

Chiasso, Switzerland, September D. Dispatches from the important Italian cit les tell of much enthusiasm over the cx- petition to Tripoli, the various regiments composing it heading for the ports. All officers have volunteered for service. but those who take part in the expedition are to be chosen by lot.
 The police measures to. check disorders have been made very stringent especially in the provinces of Modena, Parma, Re- venna, Forli and Brescia. Large contin- gents of troops and carabineers are sta tioned in the most riotous districts.
 The Italian fleet will occupy the whole coast from Tripoli through Benghazi to Derna. The military expedition is to be dispatched as rapidly as possible and it is expected the fleet will have completed the occupation by tomorrow morning
 Italian newspapers including those for and against war are equally divided in sentiment, but a slight majority oppose 1t. The Milan Secolo. organ of the ratir- calls, strongly crticises the movement cfosen for occupation. The Secolo says:
 ''If the principle is established that it's Is enough to say to Turkey You left Fri poll in disorder and abandonment. there fore. we take 1t and bring civilization there any power richer, stronger and more civilized than Italy might say to her You left the south crushed in their poverty, iliteracy and superstition. therc- fore, we seize it'"

 of the remaining 700 members of the Federation of Railroad employees. Of ficials at strike headquarters appear to be optimistic over the situation and declare that the craftsmen will quit to a man.
 Interest is especially centered in the probable outcome tomorrow of the hearing of the temporary injunction filed by the Illinois Central against the strikers when the restraining order will either be made permanent or dismissed. | The three union clerks arrested by United States deputy marshals today, charged with violating the injunction by assaulting strike breakers, will be carried before Federal Judge Foster to- morrow for an immediate hearing.
 Changes in the strike situation to- day included the walkout of 100 freight handlers on the river front; the strike of 50 workmen in the round houses at Harahan, and the refusal of negro dock freight handlers, who have a separate union, and the negro employees in the uptown to join the strikers.
 No freight was accepted today by the Illinois Central or the Yazoo and Mis- sissippi Valley freight offices.
 As the strikers still contend that they are willing to meet and confer with the railroad officials in an effort to prevent a strike, the New Orleans cotton ex- change committee, composed of represen- tatives of the cotton buyers, brokers. bankers, merchants and labor officials, tonight called a general meeting to take place at the exchange tomorrow at 1 D. m. Members of this committee will discuss ways and means of bringing the strikers and railroads together and there by prevent long struggle, with its consequent i'll effects on business, if pos sible.

London. September 29.-A dispatch from Constantinople to the Daily Chronicle says four transports loaded with ammu- nition start for Tripoli tomorrow. Ital- ian residents in Constantinople have re- ceived orders to close their schools and shops and not congregate anywhere in numbers. Many of them are leaving the city, The Banco Di Roma and the ltai- ian postoffce are strongly guarded.
 A massacre of Italians in Adana, Asia Minor, is feared. Italy has considerable interests and a large colony there. News has reached here that Turkish troops have occupied Thessaly to keep the Greeks in check and prevent them rom attempting to capture Crete.
 The Russian fleet in the Black Sea is ready for any emergency. It is now anchored before Trebizond.
 The Sultan and the heir apparent sat in council with the ministers all night when it was finally decided that Turkey should yield to force alone and Italian designs in Tripol, holding influential Ital- ians as hostages.
 The Daily Chronicles Milan corresopnd- ent. who sends his dispatches by way or the Swiss frontier, says.
 Despite the vast preparations for war which the government has been Vlgof- ouSly engaged m TOT the past WeVh' eiiS publication of the text of the ultimatum to Turkey has produced veritabe sense of stupefaction among the people. FIX cept in Sicily there is nothing appoach- ing enthusiasm manifest. Many fear the ultimatum will inspire abroad feeling that it was brigandage instead of war.
 During the recent travelling of the rayages of cholera, the public health minister decided upon the censorship of open communication, even forbidding the sending of messages by Italian corre- spondents arriving in Trpoli who found everything calm there, and nothing m the attitude of the natives to justify manic or an exodus from an epidemic.'

Italy Initiates Japan

Persons familiar with conditions that led up to the Russo-Japanese war recall tGat Japan took the course Immediately following in practically beginning hostil- ties without warning to her powerful op- ponent and thereby secured a tremendous aovantage by preventing the consolida- ton of the two sections of the Russian fleet, which were lying in the harbors of Port Arthur and Chemulpo, Corea.
 Most of the small Turkish fleet is off the Syrian coast at the extreme eastern end of the Mediterranean, and Italy's declaration is believed to be for the de- liberate purpose of securing warrant un- der international law for an attack upon the fleet before it can make its escape and find refuge in the Bosphorous under tho shelter of the powerful shore de- lenses. Such a move would leave Italy plenty of leisure to deal with the com paratively small military force in Tripoli and to prevent any endorsements reach ing that country from Turkey by water.
 The declaration of war without notice to neutral, nations is coming to be the rule instead of exception in recent years It is said at the state department that there can be no objection to such a course as has been adopted by Italy in this in stance so long as there is no undue inter- ference with American commerce or other interests.
 The Washington government, hopeful until. the last moment that the media tion of some European power might prevent actual hostility between Italy and Turkey, was scarcely prepared for news of actual declaration of war.
 Neither Ambassador Rockhill at Con- stantinople nor Ambassador Leishman at Rome had informed the state de- partment that the crisis had been reached. Ambassador Rockhill cabled that there was some excitement among the foreign element in Constantinople, presaging a rupture between Italy and Turkey.

Chicago, September 29.-The Milan Corriere Della Sera publishes an inter esting telegram from Tripoli dated September 2S, when the ultimatum was not vet known there. The Italian con- sul notified the Italians that whoever desired to leave could embark aboard the steamer Hercules. The only lug gage allowed was mattress, and basket of food for each person. The refugees numbered about 500. Several Italians after embarlxing their families, returned to Tripoli but there was no sign of panic. which seemed to have disappeared with the departure of the steamer. The Italian authorities dou- bled their vigilance for maintenance of order The town was patrolled by well disciplined police armed with rifles and the police were reinforced at night by numerous platpons of infantry. The governor called to the ancient castle, where he lives heads of the native authorities and read to them an order imposing upon them respect for ltai- ians.

Situation at Memphis

Memphis. September 29.-On the eve of the proposed walliout of Hartman sys- tenn shopmen labor union officials and railroad representatives express diverse opinions as to whether the strike order will be obeyed and to what extent on the south lines of the Illinois Central system.
 At Memphis the men are out, quitting work in sympathy with the strike of the clerks, which went into effect on the Illinois Central south of the Ohio river today. In the Vicksburg shops of the Yazoo and Mississippi valley road 500 men are employed At McComb City and Water Valley. Miss. on the Illinois Central, the number of employees are HOO and 250, respectively. s
 Todays developments in the clerks strike brought a repetition of previous optimistic statements tonight. Railroad officials say the men employed to re- place the strikers are becoming adjusted to their new duties and conditions are being lighted At Memphis it is stated freight warehouses will reopen tomor- rev. Other than the jeering of those at work no disorder was reported.
 A track walker added touch of the sensational to the developments at Mem- phis when he brought box of dyna- mite caps to a yard office, declaring that, his attention attracted by loose joint on a spur track, he found the caps un- der the rails.
 His curiosity aroused as to whether they were in working order. he smashed one with his hammer. The result was A badly torn right hand and bruised face. United States Marshal Johnson in- vestigated the finding.
