NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Daniel Webster's Look Into the Future

William H. Aspinwall gave the
name of "Aspinwall' to the eastern
terminal of the Panama Railroad now
known as Colon. For 1t was Mr.. As
pinwall who conceived and built the
Panama Railroad a few years after
gold was discovered in California. Mr..
Aspinwall died In 1875. Two or three
years before his death he described
to little company of friends meet
ing which he had with Daniel Web
ster about year after the latter re-
signed as secretary of state In the
cabinet of President John Tyler.
1t was this meeting with Mr.. Web
ster which caused Mr.. Aspinwan to
determine to study California so that
he would be ready to perfect a short
route by which communication be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
would be obtained.
Mr., Aspinwall repeated Webster $
words to him substantially as fol-
lows: Mr.. Webster said to me that
any one who would carefully study
the maps could not fall to observe
that San F'rancisco-then in the pos
session of Mexico-is the only safe.
large. and convenient harbor on the
Pacific coast between the mouth of
the Columbia River and South Amer
lea. For that reason he told me that
he was certain that on the Pacific
slope of the United States great and
very powerful Anglo-Saxon empire
would be established, of which the
Bay of San Francisco would be the
outlet to the Pacific. He was per-
suaded that degree of latitude more
or less as the northern boundary of

helped to put new life in the tired
and starving soldiers in ra1lying for
their flag. No Mr. Editor, all our
theaters will have orchestras this
season, as before, with the exception
of one, and this theater expects the
people of Newark to pay $1.50 to see
a performance. Well, we will leave
this for later judgment of the people

Musicians has 72S locals in as many

Music Still Has Charms


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In Thursdays issue of The Star
there appeared an editorial in which
you take to task the musicians of
New York city Tor their unfairness
to theatrical interests. You have
evidently got your information from
well-known New York paper which
is known for its unfairness to unions
in general. You undertake to tell the
public your opinion as to the benefit
of orchestras in theaterS, claiming
they are not necessary to the success
of a production.
This, / presume, you intend to
apply to the local situation. You say
many of the people who are accus-
toned to the orchestra at the opera
or the symphony orchestra are bored
you that ten per cent. of our work
ing population of Newark do not hear
the above orchestras. On account of
the high prices, they cannot afford
1t. Furthermore, those who can af-
ford to pay these high prices do not
patronize the theaters here, but go
to New York city, which means that
the largest majority patronize the
popular-priced theaters here, where
the small orchestras of eight or nine
men are employed, and ! know from
personal experience that these houses
are successful.
You say that the instrumental
music has gone out of fashion, and

THE d1rNEY MENACE TO THE TROLLEY.

THE JITNEN MENACE To THE TROLLEY.
In recent issue of the Scientific American the
serious inroads which the jitney bus is making into
the revenues of trolley companies discussed by
writer who had talked with the heads of more than
twenty street railway systems AS rule they pre-
dict decided slump in the jitney business when cold
weather makes the closed trolley more comfort
able and the novelty of the nickel motor hack has
worn off. But there will remain enough jitney com
petition interfere very gravey with street railroad
prosperity.
Operators of street railway systems suggest
three means of meeting the situation:
First to decrease service and cut down operat-
ing COSTS bringing forciby the attention the city
authorities the need of protecting the railway
panies interests; second to put large number of
jltney in competition with the privately
owned vehicles; and third increase the service
lines subject jtney competition and cut down
headways lines off the jitney routes. The major
fly of the railway declared the first scheme sui
cida In that 1t would enable the jtneys to make
very greater and increase still further
the complaints of dissatisfied patrons
The second scheme also generally considered
dangerous experiment and likely to lead to trouble
with the public, besides being extremely expensive
and probably not very successful The third al
most unanimously agreed to the logical move, but
opinions were almost equally unanimous that it
would involve too great expense, both in the pur
chase of new cars and in the cost of operation, es
peciay platform wages. II such service were once
begun the railway companies must continue It and at
a great loss to them in view of the idle that
would be lying around their barns
The use of one-man street of
cutting down expenses during the "jitney raid
doomed up possible solution, but examna
ton of the charter of the majority of companies
disclosed that 1t is incumbent them to have two
men each The of 1t all is that every

THE CHEERFuL INTERNATIONAL OUTLOOK

The outlook Is bright for amicable settle
men of our perilous controversy with Germany over
submarine warfare and the less dangerous with
England regarding the administration of the block
Rde is given that Great Britain will relax
the enforcement of the order in council to per-
NIT shipments from neutral ports of German and
Austrian goods contracted for by American importers
prior to the effective date of the embargo. Mer-
chandise valued at millions of dollars has accu-
mulated at Rotterdam awaiting transportation to the
United States This Is be released upon proof that
the goods really contracted flor and that the
American importer has valid title thereto.
II is also evident that Germanys course as to
the Arabic has been decided upon and that 1t is
line with the conciliatory statement by Chan
cellor Bethmann-Hollweg which was in effect
that If the German submarine commander is found to
have torpedoed the liner without warning his gov
ernment will disavow the act and offer reparaton.
Everything points to the comfortable assurance that
the grand prize for which the European war game is
being played is the friendship of the United States
and to victory for the patient methods of peaceful
diplomacy at Washington

The School and Recreation

Men will not tolerate in a public
school building a performance they
might witness without protest in
other places says Clarence A. Perry
in a bulletin just issued by the U. 5.
bureau of education. For this reason
DR.. Perry thinks the movement to use
the school plant for social and rec
reational purposes is destined to
purify as we'll as popularize amuse-
ments.
THE teaching staff and other ma
chinery of the public schools are dedi-
Gated by the people to betterment
service" says DIR. Perry, therefore
society will not permit the building
erected solely for that purpose to be
put to contrary use"
Statistics gathered by DR.. Perry
from forty-hve leading cities in the
United States show that in one month
there were over 100000 attendances
upon evening functions in the public
school buildings of these cities. The
bulletin declares that these figures
mean so many evenings spent In
wholesome activity by persons many
of whom would otherwise have spent
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1915-08-31

that time in less beneficial OF in posi-
lively harmful pastimes. These $780,
900 instances of the influence OF the
school in one month. whether scat
tered over many persons or concern
trated upon few, indicate the tre-
mendous force for righteousness that
was extended by one months exten-
sion work in these forty-five cities.
The public character Of all func-
tions held in the school buildings has
the effect of censoring those func-
tions," asserts DR.. Perry. THE ac-
tivity which a group heartily, pub
licly and unshamedly seeks affords
the kind of expression that its mem
bers need. When youths and maidens
consort in the public school building
in social life we may be certain that
instincts of racial Importance are
being cherished instead of exploited.
unfortunately" says DR.. Perry,
"a large number of young people, IN
the heyday of life, are devoting their
ample margins of energy to passive
amusements and degenerating salts
factions. What holds these young
people back from profitable pastime is
lack of meeting places and of leader
ship. Suitable meeting places and
wise leadership would, for a vast
majority of them, change the eve
nings of waste and drifting into time
of upbuilding and character strength
ening. The opportunity which So
ciety needs for this purpose it pos
sesses in the vast equipment of the
public school which lies idle other
wise during the period of popular
leisure"

A LAr1N.AMER1oAN TRADE POINTER.

American merchants have much to learn as to
the best to deal with business houses in Central
America Personality plays important part in
business In the countries ito the south of U.S. and
manifestations Of friendly interest often to
ment the bonds of business relations. in
point has come to the notice United States Special
Agent Harris, stationed at Panama.
Last May fire occurred in Colon, in which
many blocks including business houses, were burned
with a loss of millions of dollars. A month or
80 later business received two letters in the
same mall from a firm in England and the other
from United States He had been dealing
with both firms about the length of time and
was apparently In the position of old and reliable
customer with both of them His rating, moreover.
was first class. The English letter was in cordial
terms, and said in part:
I'VE have many trading friends In the city of
Colon, and anxiousy awaiting news to hear
that of them have suffered from the fire. We
realize full we'll that business cannot be very brisk
on the isthmus, and that this fire. coming along at
this time, must indeed make matters very awkward
for people in the city OF Panama We wish to take
the opportunity of expressing sincere regret at
the disaster or course the burdens of the present
situation in England falling heavily all of us,
but meeting the situation. Give yourself no
occasion for worry at the state of account We
know how conditions Send on your orders and
they will be filled usual and upon the usual credit
terms"
The letter from the American firm short and
ran about follows Dear Sir: Owing to condi-
tions we are compelled to curtail lines of credit
and the terms in future will be, etc" The terms Of
fered we're practically cash
The contrast between these letters striking
and the difference In the effect they produced the
mind of the merchant receiving them can easily be
imagined. 1t is obvious that American trade with
Central America will not supplant that of European
competitors until such details these handled as
integenty as they from Europe.

rick former ambassador to France and including in
its membership Theodore Roosevelt, Charles w. Eliot
Joseph H. Choate Judson Harmon, Henry Watterson
and George w Wickersham commends to the public
"the opportunity thus afforded to honor the memory
and commemorate the deeds of one of the greatest
heroes of the American Revolution thanks to whose
efforts than to any other one factor the sym
pathy of France for the of freedom was given
effective expression at crucial period of the strug
gle for American independence"
1t was in the darkest hour of the Revolution
that this young French nobleman came to offer his
services to General Washington and he had only just
passed his twenty-second birthday when he shed his
blood at Brandywine In the cause of American lib
erty 1t was chiefly due to his good offices that
