NO RoBBNG THE RIVER FOR PIERS.

G. ECRETARY OF WAR STIMSON'S disapproval of the re
81 port by the New York Harbor Line Board, which recon-
mended temporary pier line extensions on the Hudson, IS
in perfect harmony with the policy of the federal government
for many years. Repeated attempts have been made by com
mercial interests and pierowners in New York to secure permits
sion for pier extension, and if they had been successful the
Hudson between Hoboken and Manhattan would now not be
wide enough for an ocean liner to turn around in. The tonnage
of ocean steamers is increasing and ships are now being built
for which there are no docks long enough on either the New
York or New Jersey side of the harbor. But if ships grow in
length, shall we make our harbors less in width? Nor should
there be any temporary treatment of New York harbOr. Make
shifts never pay. There should be a permanent solution of the
harbor problem and the cost, however great, should not be
considered by the metropolis, for the problem vitality affects
the future of New York harbor as a world port. And it is
absurd to say that there is no room ON the harbor TO build new
piers of the length desired. Docks can be made at an angle with
the shore line. On the New Jersey side the steamship com
panies can cut inland for docks. Ii is only a matter of expense.
a wall goes up in Hoboken over the prospective loss of the
Hamburg-Ameriean. North German Lloyd and Holland-Amer-
lean lines, which it is feared will go to New London. But prob
ably they won't. The gateway of the continent is the west
action by the secretary of war should now convince the com
mercial interests that there is nothing TO do but get right down
10 work to improve New York harbOr and make piers without
robbing the river of space that will be an absolute necessity
IN the near future.

THE APPROACHING HOLIDAYS.

eN HE holiday season now approaching will be gladdened by
the national prospects. Nature has given 10 us a mag
nifcent bounty of crops, the horizon of the nation is
rne1ouded, business and industry are in a healthy condition
and even the prospect of future tariff changes has not excited
any apprehensions. Most fortunate we are. too, that we have no
foreign relations to embroil us in a possible European war. If
that dreaded event should happen we will be distant spectators,
feeling secure that none of its horrors can reach our land except
III story. The high cost of living will continue through the
holidays and we may expect little relief in that way until the
country is given remedial legislation. The people may not have
ek much TO spend for Christmas things in consequence of the
expense of living, but they cannot help but compare conditions
~ this country and Europe and feel all the more the holiday
spirit In view of the national blessings there should be a
learty observance of Thanksgiving.

A MAJORITY or MINORITY CONVENTION.

So HE suggestion is thrown out by the Trenton Times in
II regard TO a constitutional convention that the Demo
cratic legislators representing the small counties have
a way to disregard the mandate of their State platform. 1t is
that they shall insist that the convention shall be composed of
delegates appointed pro rata among the counties. In doing
this" SAYS the Times. mo Democratic senator will violate his
pledge The Times knows better. The plan it proposes would
give control of the convention to a minority of the voters of
the State, not more than nefourth of the whole. A convention
organized on that basis would be a cheat. and a constitution
adopted by it would be a cheat. In all probability 1T would be
defeated by the popular majority in the State. \ constitutions
above all. must be the expression of the will of the majority
That is the genius of our government. The present Constitution
was adopted in that way and there is no other way that does
not violate the fundamental principles of American government.

A STATESMAN MARTYR.

IT \ a certain sense a crime like that of The assassination of
Premier Canaleias, Of Spain. is a world calamity. This
man stood for rational progress, for the revolution that
comes about by logical and necessarily gradual processes. No
Spanish statesman better understood the character of his people
and the nature of the obstacles and difficulties that beset the
path OF real reform in his country. Before there can be modern
ism in Spain the character of the Spanish people must undergo
a change. and that was what Canalejas sought to accomplish by
Il gradual revolution in things that are ingrained in the life of
spain. The curse of the wealth of the Indies wrung from the
Tears and blood of unhappy millions on the American continent
which destroyed Spanish power. debauched the people and final

has got TO be lifted before the nation can stand in the clear
iight of modern civilization and a Spaniard can say that he is
capable of ruling himself. The statesman who was leading
spain to the light has now been sacrificed.

Cathedral, New York, officiated. The
bride was escorted and given in mar
riage by her brother, Edward Hamil-
ton Morris, and wore a costume of

handed down from her grandmother,
and was caught at the sides of the
coiffure with clusters of orange bios

bridegroom's gift, a necklace of dia-
monds, and she carried white orchids

THE WOMAN SUFFRAGE EDITION.

women representing the cause of woman suffrage, at
tracted much attention in other cities and led the New York
Evening Sun to offer it's edition to Mrs. Oliver II. p. Belmont
for a similar enterprise, the edition coming out last Saturday.
The example of the Evening Star is likely to be followed by
newspapers of many principal cities, in all of which there are
bands of women eager to show the capacity of the sex for the
character of intellectual work heretofore confined to men, as
well as their understanding of the affairs of a nation. Women
ere now largely employed in journalism, but generally in special
departments belonging to the feminine interest or in literary
work. May we not look to a time when the editorial leader
will be written by a wOmans hand and may it not introduce
in the editorial a new and inspiring element?

Political Memories
To the Edi-o- % nc Evening Star:
Sir-The day was beautiful and the
air balmy, invigorating and all nature
serene. 1t was a couple of days after
the late political campaign of NO
vember, 1912, and ever and anon the
once powerful major of the county of
Essex looked out of the window as a
cheerful chirping sparrow fitted about
and the streets were full of happy.
honest Democrats who knew no guile
nor held no malice.
And while the old-time Republican
boss sat and gazed and thought of
the heavy hand of power in days
long gone by a once famous colonel
of Hudson county was doing exactly
the anne thing from the windows Of
his cozy office in Jersey City.
Down in Trenton, on the banks Of
the Delaware. at the very hour the
mighty major of Essex and the Re-
publican ex-boss of Hudson were
struggling with, their thoughts of the
past, the custodian of the capitol
building was trying to dispose of the
old tricky voting machines at a cent
apiece or a little more TO anyone seek
ing ~curiosities.
As Major Carl sat in his office In
the city of Newark on this calm No
vember day his thoughts reverted to
the exciting events recently gone by,
Now and then the tall form of
Lathrop Anderson came to his minds
eye, and with it that of Everett
Colby, Mr., sommer, the Rev. Mr..
Zimmerman and others, and then the
once mighty major recalled an East
orange meeting of years ago when
at a private residence a demand was
made by Republican brethren for his
scalp. with hair on it or not.

Of Bacchus.
In the Yuletide celebrations of the Druids OF
ancient britain the evergreen had distinctive
place with ivy holly and mistletoe. The Drulds
believed that the evergreens sheltered the gooo
spirits of the air who fed to them at the approach
of cold weather
There is Scandinavian myth that tells of the
tree that sprang from the blood-soaked ground
where two lovers met violent death, and or
mysterious lights that lowered about the tree at
Christmas time At the period of the winter sol
stice, the ancient Egyptians decorated tnelr
houses with palm leaves which symbolized I'M
mortality and the starry sky. At this period OF
the year the ancient Persians decorated the plane
tree with ornaments and jewels.
An old German tradition gives Saint Wflfred
the credit of transforming the tree worship OF the
savage Teutons to Christian ceremony. 1t was
about the year 725 that he led party OF priests
into central Germany for the conversion of the
worshipers of god Thor Prince Gregor, the
grandson of king with him, having been
intrusted to his by the abbess of the cOister

their way through the of the forest when
they came upon the heather tribe of Geismar
They were assembled under the thunder oak.

pared to offer up sacrifice The whitehaired
priest of the heathens had chosen the young
Of the chief as the farest possession of the tribe,
and he was to be offered, for the god was very
hungry and needed the utmost atonement
AS the venerable priest raised his stone Ratchet
IN high and brought 1t down to kill the boy,
who was ready. prepared for the stroke. Winfred
appeared and warded OF the blow with his staff.
The people were gratifed at his saving OF their
tavorite and allowed him speech and he gave
them the Christian creed. Then he and the
Prince Gregor took their and cut down the
Thunder Oak. AS it was ready to fall the light
ming came and split it in many parts and it fell
asunder The waiting tribe then beheld in its
place slender FIR tree green and sparkling and
odorous Winfred babe the tribesmen bear this
tree to the hall of Grundhar, the chieftan to
there assemble about it and make merry. About
this first Christmas tree the wild men of the
woods first heard the tale of the shepherd boy
and the fields of judah and it gripped their sturdy
hearts The tribes became Christian and ever
after used the Ar tree as a token OF the day Of
Christ's birth
