Mayor Gaynor Is right in saying that
New York must now go ahead without
DELAY and build docks adequate TO the
accommodation of any and all ships
that may come to this port. IL II Do
true. as he further says, that the DOCK
funds are ample for the purpose and
that there is plenty Of room on the
North River for docks Of the required
length. there really would seem to be
no reason why the work should not be
at once. He suggests
place where, he says, the docks can be
cut into the existing shore some hum
dreds Of feet, II necessary. Perhaps
the building Of docks there would be
the best solution Of the problem.
Some good authorities, moreover, have
the building Of piers at an
angle Of say, As degrees, instead OF at
right angles with the shore, after the
fashion of those at Buenos Ayres and
some other ports. There may be some
insuperable objection to that plan. but
we do not recall having seen 1t set
forth; and in It's absence 1t Is to be OBJ
served that thus a pier one thousand
feet long could be built without ex-
tending more than about seven hum
dred feet out from the shore line.

The attitude Of some Liberal leaders
in Cuba in seeking to obstruct all gov
ernmental activities in that island just
because the elections went against
them cannot BIO too strongly disap-
proved. Not in that fashion are re-
publican institutions to be confirmed
and maintained. Incidentally, the
threat Of persistent absenteeism which
will deprive the Congress Of quorum
may make thoughtful Cubans wish
that they had not abolished tho law
which was enacted during the Ameri-
can occupation. providing for the COM
pulsory attendance OF legislators.

TO A GLASS USER.

Grandma Carr of the Gary Trib-
une, suspends her glasses on the end
of her nose, looks over the tops of
them and emits some facetious re-
marks about certain alleged incon-
sistencies in a TIMES editorial.
The editorials in question were
two in number. The first referred to
the fact that Hammond is free from
resorts, gambling and councilmanic
corruption. The second took the
council to task for its failure to pass
the street lighting ordinances.
The failure of the city council to
pass the street lighting ordinance
may be an indication of it's unpro-
gressiveness but it is not reflection
on its honesty. Any one who doesn t
use glasses can see this.
Then to indicate how repulsive
the obstructionist is to one citizen
| THE TIMES quoted John E. Fftz-
gerald of Hammond as saying: ut ia
bad to have grafters in your city
council but CRATER is better any
| day than an obstructionist. You can
get results with a CRATER but an
obstructionist kills off your town
and your only weapon is to remove
him at the next election"
| THE TIMES would not favor the
exchange of an obstructionist coun
Gil for grating one but it desires
to point out that lily-pure council
men can not make their purity their
sole and only claim to public favor
They must be progressive and useful
as well.
The people of Hammond are NOT
forced to the alternative of standing
for a boneheaded council or a bunch
of grafters. The chances are thai
when the boneheads are retired thai
councilmen can be found who will bt
progressive as well as honest.
/ Hammond is "a healthy, decent
American city of the better sort" ant
1t is going to add to that claim the
right to assert that 1t is also one O.
the most progressive cities in the
west.

with grafters who justified their act

THE GRAND YOUNG MAN.

All agree, even the hired assassins
of the poisoned press, that Prince
Belvedere Beveridge gave birth TO a
masterpiece when the Third Term
party was born at the opening of the
coronation spiritual meeting. For
Prince Belvedere invoked host of
political spooks, crooked spooks too,
under a general anathema of 1.-The in
visible government" Just as Mr.
Munsey' has proved that the Pro-
gressive party has been in astral
form for "a dozen years." so Prince
Belvedere proved the existence of a
spiritual or invisible government .
as real as the worlds of Swedenborg
or Dante. Only Prince Belvedere
holds that our invisible govern
ment" is recruited chiefly from I'M
heavenly and unholy regions, where
angels fear to tread, even archangels
like Lord Harvester, the Earl OF
Perkins. For we are told by Prince
Belvedere that they (the special in
terests) are the invisible government
behind our visible government .
Elsewhere in the masterpiece the
Prince calls them 1.-The hidden
power"

corning the occult world, these in.

For instance, the Prince forgot to ex-
plain that there are certain good
special interests which are neither

the reason why these good special in
terests are visible is that it Is a

it is most important that the plain

BLUE BLooD."

That sensible humorist, Mr.. Puck,
who has wrinkled the faces of thous-
ands and smoothed the wrinkles of
millions, is in the habit of back
grounding his laughter with a bit of
seriousness.
He recently said: Childhood is is
always democratic. The snob is
made, not born
The enthusiasm and freedom with
which the child of wealth will mix
up with the poor waif in fight or
frolic, is Psychologist ultimate answ-
er to the claims of blue blood

they are told to be. and shown how.
Try it by any standard you will.
save that of law. the blue blood
theory falls instantly to the ground.
Christianity expressed itse I
through the lowly birth OF the friend
of publicans and sinners.
Political economy has its answer
in the inference right of every
worker to the entire product of bis
toll. For workers are never snobs,
and the proper adherence to the
rules of political economy would
leave the idler nothing per annum to
be snobbish on.
History has recorded the utter USE
| lessness of the snob-the absolute
failure of blue blood when not &C
companied by effort and purified by
service. To establish the correct
weight OF anything, weigh it alone.
Blue blood without service never &C
complishes; service without blue
blood does. That is the differences.
But political economy, psychology,
religion and history are not alone in
their condemnation of the blue
blooded." Common sense and ordi-
nary thought rebel instantly at the
idea of superiority of birth except as
such superiority lies in a better
physical and mental equipment The
proposition that those less favored by
heredity should be additionally burd-
ened with mancreated obstacles tc
equal opportunity is savage and
cruel. Yet so are we bound by GUS
tom. that law, which should in all
| justice, fight against these inequali-
ties, is the one branch of learning
that sets itself against the plain
teacshings of political economy
theology, history and psychology
and through inheritances and In
dividual titles to the earths natural
resources, fastens the yoke of un.
equal opportunity upon the necks Of
those who most need the equality
that law prevents.
