PASSING Or OLD AsToR HOUSE

New York, May 2S.-The historic
Astor House in lower Broadway, for
three quarters of GENTRY one of the
best known hotels in America, ended
it's career today with mournful pro-
cesson of patrons passing in and out
Of the .high-vaulted lobby. Many -
sentimental toast was offered as some
of the old-timeis lined up at the bar
and took a farewell drink beneath the
great glass dome of the rot'nlda. With
in a few days the old building will be
turned over to the wreckers. A tall
office building is to be erected on a
portion OF the site and 1t is expected
the remainder will be bought by the
city and used in connection with the
new subway. The property Is owned
Jointly by William Waldorf Astor and
Vincent AStOr. @.

The possession OF the truth seems
such a simple matter. but in fact II
Is very difficult. We never car pos
sess the truth until we have paid the
price M earned II. Life Ia built up
on the basis OF this fact. 1t Is like
the playing OF athletic garues- II is
very easy to play them ny 10 u,r'cg the
rules n slit. ng on tns SPECTATOR
benches. The real possession OF the
rules OF the game. however, IL for the
contestants who have mastered them
as they stand In the official book.
and then have trained themselves to
keep the rules In the stress Of fierce
conflict. They have subjected them
selves to discipline and given their
time and strength to practice in order
that they might earn the truth.
Moral and spiritual progress IL pur-
chased In the same way. He who
knows the truth and is set free by 1t
must earn 1t by discipline AMI sacri-
flee Of temporary pleasures for perma-
nent JOY. The truth seems so clear
and winsome when we see II In the
terms OF the early life of Jesus. When
we attempt to repeat the motives OF
Jesus in our daily conduct, we dis
cover the difference between possess
ing the truth in the terms OF an In
~tellectual conviction or a fine emotion
and mastering the truth through de-
votion to its imperial demands. In
order to make 1t effective, we must
earn 1t. Subsection and exercise are
the price that must be paid for real
ownership. We never know the full
Joy Of being possessed by the truth
until we have earned 1t.

A STATE.

New Jersey is a peculiar State. It is the
home of the greatest statesman reforrner In the
United States today and of some of the greatest
reactionaries and opponents OF boss rule extant.
1t was the worst corporation rule and ridden
State in the Union and is now probably the least.
In Paterson are the Industrial Workers of the
World, composed of syndicalists and anarchists
and advocates of all other "isms' under the
sun. provided those "isms' are iconoclastic and
revolutionary enough and sufficiently at variance
with American institutions. To them the Amer
lean flag means nothing though most Of them
are foreigners who came to this country be-
cause of the hope OF opportunity under the
protection of that flag held out TO them.
Now in Hoboken. in the same State. we read.
one hundred and nifty workmen have gone on
q strike because q Canadian referred to Old
Glory as a "dirty old rag and will not return
until the offending workman is discharged. In
Paterson we find men bitterly lighting every
thing American and regulating allegiance. not
only to the American. but to any and all Tags;
in Hoboken we find them so patriotic as to re-
fuse to work with one who has spoken slight
ingly of the Star and Stripes
We will pin our faith TO the latter, but these
incidents go to show that there Is no Nazareth
out of which comes no evil

renewal Of thA Abstraction treaty with Great
Britain that M question Of tres tolls for Amer
lean coast~sss trading vessels using the canal,
Britain objects. would have 70 be arbitrated.
None opposes the arbitration of this question.
which is an internal one. more strenuously
than The Vir0sntdm, but The VfrDtntdn does
not believe that question would have to be arbf-
trated. II so that is no reason for the refusal
to renew the arbitration treaty. There is a
way out and an easy way out. 1t Is the sim
plest thing In the world to repeal the free toll
provision of the Panama canal act-something
that should be done whether the provision vio-
iates any treaty or not That that provision
violates any treaty with Great Britain we DO
rot believe. That under the pending compul-
sorry arbitration treaty with Great Britain Il
would have to be arbitrated we do not believe,
but without regard to all this that provision
should never have been enacted and should now
be- repealed. It is a subsidy pure and simple.
and MS ruch contrary to all Democratic prin-
cipIes. Repeal It and the objection to arbitrating
the differences on that score between the United
States and Great Britain Will Dc eliminated.
Moreover. a violation of the Democratic prin-
ciples of equal right and a remuneration of the
Democratic opposition to subsidies well be wiped
Off the statute books.
AS TO the danger that there might be a call
for the arbitration of the dispute with Japan
over the California land bill 1t simply does not
exist. The California land laws violate no
treaty and The Viroinfdn for one is perfectly
willing to submit the question TO any arbitra-
ton court which now Is. ever was or ever will
be In existence. Moreover, Japan has made
the question one of national honor and as such
II would not come under the purview OF the
arbitration treaty which excerpts such questions.
The pending arbitration treaties mean mere
w that in a dispute between nations the ques-
ton at issue shall be decided by a court of
law. lust a share disputes between individuals in
all civilized nations. except that 1t Is not quite so
binding.
Can any nation so plainly say that 1t fears
an unbiased and unprecedented review of its
position as to refuse to enter into such an agree
ment?
The United States. OF all nations, cannot.

NoPerfection in Pub
fishing

The National magazine tells of a London pub
Usher who once set out to publish at least one
book that should be ~faultless in the matter
Of errata- He had his own proofreaders go
over and over the proofs. with the greatest
care, until they had exhausted their skill and
patience and had assured him that there were
no longer any errors to be eliminated. Then,
taking duplicate proofs of the last issue. he sent
them to the houses, offering large money prizes
for each error discovered. A few errors only
were found, and after one had been overlooked.
the plates were made, the book was printed, ex-
pensively bound and put upon the market as
an absolutely perfect product and unique In all
from a mechanical standpoint For
a long time this was conceded, but six or eight
months after its publication a letter came 20
the publisher calling attention to an error In 2
certain line and page. Later q second was dis
covered, and before a year had elapsed four or
five errors had been reported.
The incident Is illuminatingly interesting as
showing the ~difaculty, amounting to practical
imposstbility, OF turning out a perfect volume
even when and where maximum skill and
thoroughness are available and neither time nor
expense IL 4 consideration. And yet tho name
is legion Of people who profess inability to un-
why the daily newspaper, for the pro-
Of which. from the gathering OF the
first item OF news to the coming Of the com.
pleted product from the press. only a few hours
at best are available, does not reach them every
morning or afternoon practically perfect In

ling Of subject matter. Sweet reasonabieness''
Is by no means thu distinguishing characteristic

lev STREET CAR LIME COILAPSES.
lAlfred b. Williams. in The Roanoke Times.

Richmond has been more or less disturbed
the last five or six years over the Richmond and
Henrioo Railway Company. 1t was intended to
compete with the Virginia Passenger and Power
Company. which controls the old street car sys-
tenn. not only in carrying passengers, but In sup
plying light and power. The scheme was start
ed with a great flourish Of trumpets. seemed to
die. then was revived. 1t faded from public
view again until the city was startled by the
news that work actually had begun. There was
some mystery In the source OF the capital. While
a few Of the city's best and most public spirited
business men invested in the enterprise. they
seemd to regard It more as something for the
public good than a commercial venture. Hardly
any OF them hoped for profit. 1t now appears
that the bulk OF the money was supplied by
capitalists. one Toronto bank having
underwater 81, $50. 900 OF the bonds.
Even after the new company had begun work
on the most-expensive and important part Of the
line. a viaduct probably three quarters of a
mile long bridging the deep ravine between
shockoe Hill and Church Hin, there was an
other long pause. The city then threatened
to order the removal Of the massive concrete
piers that had been erected. charging that they
INSTRUCTED traffic on the surface and were not
being used. Probably there were a dozen ex-
tensions of the time for beginning and for COM
pleting work. Many people believed that the
whole affair was a bluff intended as . hold UP
on the old company and to induce It to buy of

left to Richmond people who knew the condi-
tions the structure never would have been built.
Outsiders with spare money seeking employ
ment thought they saw a. good opportunity and
went in.
Fortunately It appears nobody will suffer
very seriously. The Richmond people who In
vested in the competition against the established
line did not stake very heavily or base much
hope for return on the enterprise. The Ca
nadians who went in did 1t as q speculation.
Perhaps they thought the old company, owned
chiefly by the Goulds, would be compelled to
buy them out in self-defense. Whatever the
motive, the loss to the original investors and
the general gain TO the city are evident and
profit to those who may get the property for
next to nothing Is probable.
