MIR. McAdOO's HOldup.

In the original plans for the Seventh
avenue subway, now under construc-
ton, provision was made for four
tracks from Forty-second street to
Park Place, where two tracks were d.
verified to the eastward to cross under
Manhattan and the East River and
connect at Borough Hall, Brooklyn,
with the existing subsurface system.
From the westerly side of Broadway In
Park Place this two track tunnel was
designed to pass in straight line under
Broadway, the Post Office building and
Park Row to Beekman street. This
was the natural and simple route TO be
chosen. and none of the Public Service
Commissioners, their engineers or the
city officers who studied the plans was
suspicious enough 10 think for mo-
ment that the United States Govern
ment would obstruct In any way the
most available course Of this essential
public work.
Yet that unlocked for obstruction
mas actually been interposed TO upset
the plans of the city of New York,
through the obscure and ineNplicable
operations Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury. in whose Department the custody
OF the Post Office building lies. Sec
rotary MCADoo has refused to ccde &c
the city the easement necessary to oc
cupancy of the ground under the Posi-
Office, except on terms ridiculously eX
orbltant, and has produced situation
in which it may be necessary to brlnl
the tunnels to the north from Parl
Place and Broadway to "A point undel
City Hall Park Immediately above Mai
street and thence roundabout in VIII
lam street through Spruce street In
stead OF Beekman street, the natura
and direct course.
What Secretary MCADoo's object Is II
thus delaying the subway work is no
plain. lie has had an estimate mad
which purports to show that the con
struction of the tunnels on the origina
plan would do 81 ,oOO,OW damage t

Is There a Polar Current?

Captain RoBERT A. BARTLETT In his
story Of the foundered Karluk ex.
presses the opinion that the theory OF
the drift across the pole is question
able" because his ship was carried by
the Ice sometimes west. then north
west or north. and occasionally south.
That was the case with the Jeanette
even after she was borne past Wrangell
Island: she was held twenty-five months
In the pack until crushed on June 13,
1881, In Il degrees 10 minutes north lati-
tude and 100 degrees east longitude.
which was about 200 miles east Of
New Siberia Island. The course of the
Jeanette up to that point was entered
in the ships book, which Engineer
MELVILLE found on the Lena delta in
November while searching FOR the crews
Of two Of his boats.
The course OF the Jeannette's wreck
age after she went to pieces Is indi-
Gated on charts as northeast In the
direction OF the pole and afterward
south through the Greenland Sea and
Denmark Strait. We definitely know
what the Fram's course was She was
run into the ice hundred miles west
of Kotelnyi Island. and while the drift
at times carried her north and south
and east and west. her general course
was northwestward until she broke
out OF the Ice Off the north coast OF
Spltzbergen on August 10, 1896, after
two years and eleven months In the
the pole, but she reached a point about
500 miles west of II. and HANSEN him
self. leaving his ship with dog sledges,
got as far as sc degrees ) minutes north,
which was the nearest approach to the
pole up TO that time. 1t has been said
that the voyage of the Fran estab-
lished the fact that the Ice formed of
the coast OF Asia drifted across the
Polar basin in period of from three
to five years.
II is suggested by Captain BARTLETT
that the Jeanette. II she had not been
crushed in the Ice, would probably have
taken the course of the Fran. 1t Is
more likely that she would have passed
much nearer the pole, for when aban
doned she was 500 miles east OF the
point where the Fran began to move In
the pack in northerly direction. The
experience OF the Karluk before foun
dering does not dlsprOve the current
theory upon which HANSEN acted wher
he trusted his ship to the mercy Of the
ice. for the Karluk never reached the
point where the drift north Of the 81
berlan ice began. II Captain BARTLETT
pins his faith TO the theory that thu
ice pack moves with the wind and tina
in the long run the Ice does not 60 with
polar current, he will find some erni
nent authority on the other side.

The remarkable feature Of Captain
BARTlErr's story Of the Karluk Is not
that an Esquimau woman and her
baby shared the perils Of the camp
after the ship foundered but that the
forecastle cat was saved. An Esqui-
mau dog doubtless hates n cat above
all other dogs. How in the world was

PSYCHOLOGY.
The New Branch OF tho Science OF Amer
lean Politics.


To THE EDITOR OF THE suN-ss: Is
there not psychological reason for the
proverbial ineptitude of the Democratic
party In the administration OF our ma
tional affairs7
From 1861 to date the Republican
party has managed these for forty-four
years and the Democratic party for nine
years. but never for more than four years
consecutively. Consequently the tendency
In the Republican party has been for
leadership to devolve on men who by
nature possess and by training and ex-
perience have developed the constructive
faculty to high degree. whether in
office or as advisers In party council for
example, John Sherman, Mckinley. Reed,
Root
on the other hand, leadership In the
Democratic party has devolved on men
who have by reason OF political exigency
developed the critical faculty to the
highest degree at the expense OF any
constructive faculty they may originally
have possessed. whether as minority
legislators or advisers In council OF an
opposition party: for example. Bryan
and Champ Clark. There have been ex-
ceptions. OF course. Cleveland. Underwood
David II. Hill but these men were over
ruled by the other type.
The critical function Is second In i'm
portance to the constructive function. and
In that respect the Democratic leaders
In the past have rendered valuable SER
vice TO the country. Doubtless. too. II
the Democratic party were entrusted with
the administration of our national affairs
for a sufficient length OF time its leaders
would develop the constructive faculty 10
q greater degree than they now possess
and It's lieutenants would receive the
training and experience to fit them fol-
constructive craftsmanship when the
mantle OF leadership devolved upon them
In tho next generation. But four years
IL too short a period In which to change
the mental attitude OF a lifetime, and the
people on taking Inventory at the end OF
every Democratic administration have de-
cided that the experiment Is too costly.

TO CARE FOR WAR BABIES

Prominent London women under the
leadership of the countess of Shaftes-
bury, Lady Scott, widow of the late
Capt. r. F. Scott, the British Ant
artic explorer; Lady Jellicoe, wife of
the commander of the home fleet;
Lady Byron and Mrs. Reginald Nc
Kenna, wife of the home secretary,
have organized the "War Babies and
Mothe rs League" The new organi-
cation will aid not only recognized
wives, but any woman whose immedi-
ate future may have been dependent
upon some man called to the colors. A
day nursery will be provided and as
sistance will be rendered, regardless
of class and creed, to the wife, baby
or dependent of any man serving in
the army or navy.
