THE SPEEDWAY.
A Recent Decision Bearing on the
Rights Of Motorists.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: The
question OF whether the Speedway Is
intended for the use of the general pub
lie or for tho use OF limited number
OF persons who persist In driving light
harness horses on fair Sundays has been
reopened bs the action of Magistrate
Simpson. who recently discharged two
men in the Washington Heights court
after they had been arrested for oper-
ating an automobile on the driveway
parallelinS the Harlem. The Magistrate
held that he had the right to interpret
the spirit OF the law rather than the
letter. and that the spirit was that the
Speedway was built for the peoples
pleasure.
That a good many persons agree with
tho Magistrates Interpretation is with
out doubt. The Speedway was built for
the public and 1t was paid for by tho
public through direct taxation. Even
now the public Is being taxed to pay
for the upkeep OF the Speedway. which
amounts to many thousands of dollars a
year And who gets the beneilt of the
Speedway? Just a few who have not
forsaken the horse. They have the beau
tiful driveway all to themselves. while
the general public has to forego the
pleasure which Is rlghtfully theirs rather
than suffer the modification and incon-
venience Of being arrested for driving
automobiles over the forbidden avenue.
When II is considered that II cost ap-
proximately s1.5O0,ooO to acquire the
land for the Speedway, that It cost al
most 100000 10 build It. that II has
been an expense ever since TO rebuild
wornout bulkheads. &c, II doesn't seem
right to have the use OF Il denied TO all
save those who drive fancy stepping
horses and those who are showing of
their horses for sales purposes. The
time has arrived when the Speedway
should be made a thoroughfare with the
right to use It denied to no vehicle ex-
cept heavy trucks
The greatest argument IN favor OF
opening the Speedway to all is that it
would afford n direct route between
Washington Heights and the Dyckman
section. Tho latter is now accessible by
only one route, via Broadway. St Mich
olas avenue In out of tho question on
account OF the steep hill beginning at
1920 street. This hill runs down to
Dyckman street, distance OF about
eight blocks. It is generally Stunned.
But by opening the Speedway for gem
eral use Il direct. level route would be
provided between the two sections. 1t
would work to the interests of both.
Moreover, It would provide a beautiful
scenic trip for those In automobiles
Then the taxpayers would not begrudge
the money they are now asked to lay
out TO keep the Speedway In condition.

Archbishop Ireland.

JOHN IRELAND was as distinctively
American as if he had been the scion
Of successive American generations.
His Irish infancy-in that diocese of
Ossory which gave SO many dlstin-
guished men to the Roman Catholic
Church-and his education in France
were but small part of his long
and useful life. From 1861, when he
as the chaplain Of Minnesota regh
ment, his work had been almost en-
tlrely concerned with Americans or
Americans to be. He was still inter-
ested In Ireland, and the helping of
Its people to come here and be good
Americans. He was devoted to his
Church and particularly concerned In
seeing that his flock, by being good
Americans and good Catholics, added
to the honor of State and Church.
Undoubtedly it was IRELAND's deep
admiration Of the country of his
adoption that caused him to feel,
with Father HEcKER, the importance
Of American Catholicism and Its good
example In the sight of the rest of
Chrlstendom. II he did ever "con-
ceive and desire a church In America
different from that which is the rest
Of the world" 1t was only In the
sense that his zeal for the Spiritual
advancement and reputation Of Cath
Ole Americans made him strive to
put them spiritually ahend of their
coreligionists in other lands.
Archbishop IRELAND belonged to
the church militant and to Amer
lea militant. AS long ago as ten
years he brought to Washington an
eloquent appeal for his country's BET
ter preparedness: Though 1 am in
favor Of peace and a firm believer
In arbitration, have never allowed
myself through any Illusion to be-
lieve through that source we can al
ways avoid war" From the begin
ming Of the present war the Arch
bishop was unwavering in his stand
against the invader Of Belgium and
unnagging in his support of Cardinal
MERCER
Archbishop IRELAND was a man
who possessed great public influence
and he never misused 1t. His power
with Rome he exercised to found
a great university here. His own
wealth he spent to make the poor
happy. 1t would be hard to name
more than ono other Catholic prelate
who has done so much, in his genera
ton, to help at once his country and
his Church.

Must the Prospector Go?

Must the prospector go? We ask
this question with real concern, which
will, we believe, be shared by count
less readers lest the picturesque char
acter most affectionately II not first
introduced into American fiction by
BRET HARTE should become a memory
only. He Is a genuine character, not
much flattered or exaggerated as he
has been pictured by sympathetic
artists through the half century from
HARrE to LONDON.
II no other sufficient reason has
been advanced why the Philistlne
hand of conservation should be with
held from this kindly, romantic fig
ure, one was given when Senator
PITTMAN, arguing against Govern
ment ownership. development and
control Of the nations natural re-
sources, said:
IT believe that you would have a
development OF tho minerals now In
sight. and you would never find any
more minerals that arc lying hidden
under the ground. ! think you would
drive away from tho West the pros
pector. a peculiar individual that cir
cumstances have developed in that coun-
have been found. You will drive him to
South America. you will drive him to
Siberia, to China. to Africa. to every
where else on earth where there is a
reward for individual suffering and
Initiative"
1t may seem overlnclusive for the
Western Senator to say that without
the prospector you will never find
any more minerals" and maybe had
he spoken with more considered
thought he would have restricted his
list Of minerals to gold and silver, or
even gold alone.
The prospector hunts for gold; In
dry gravel, over which rivers ran In
the dim past, in the beds of living
streams, in lodges Of gold bearing
quartz, gold, the visible, palpable vel.
low metal Is what he seeks. He cares
little for gold In combination with
other metals: even in quartz nc
wants gold that can be garnered by
simple process: "free" or native
gold as he calls II.
Your prospector IS lover Of ma
ture, n dreamer, a poet. HARTE was
writing Of the Luck Of Roaring

counts or personal property sched-
ules Of those Republicans whom the
nincompoop would exclude from the
rights and privileges of American
democracy while they are assisting
the President to win the victory that
Is to insure the future safety Of
world democracy.
1t Is inconceivable that the Presi-
dent should regard this as an oppor-
tune time for the exhibition, In his
name, Of such INSCRIPTIONS politics,
such shamelessly narrow and reck-
less partlsanship.
The same sense of dignity and re-
sponsibility to united nation Of
Democrats and Republicans which
impelled him to veto the plan for a
Presidential swing around the circle
in this Liberty bond month In the
Interest of Democratic candidates in
doubtful districts will prompt him
now 10 speak through the closed door
the word which shall cause TUMUIrY
to communicate with Mccormick, and
shall thereupon cause VANCE McCoR-
MICK to take his nincompoop by the
left ear and propel him inexorably to
the Tower of Silence.

year is worse than ever. 1t is not
merely that he proposes more and
heavier taxes-everybody expects
them as the war goes ON. 1t Is the
method by which he proposes to lay
the taxes; the way he proposes to dry
up oil by making 1t impossible for
prospectors, upon whom the supply Of
oil depends, to 60 out and hunt for oil
wells; the way he proposes to force
industrial and commercial cont erns to
pay out surplus earnings which Ought
to be held as reserves Tor the safety
Of the business, especially In such
times as these; the way he proposes
to drain the life blood Of national
production.
From the ultimate consequences Of
KITCHENS economic madness the Sen
ate, which now has his bill in charge,
can protect the country in the weeks
or months Of improvement that 1t may
put into his destructive measure. And
the Senate can also help the fourth
Liberty loan by giving In the next
three weeks n clear. strong indication
that It will never consent to the Kitch-
in perverslties which in the third Lib
erty loan merely made It doubtful
whether interests and men Of big in
come. even moderate income, could
subscribe, but which this time would
make their subscriptions impossible.

And uncompls,.d forms o, sanity ur.
And with the crimson dripping sword he
Had split the heart of Arrns 20 the core,
And on It wrought tho tapestry OF wan
But when victorious trumpets greet tho
morn,
And France. triumphant. siorious,y re-

Furts tsnderly her banners battle torn,
The place vii, rise as from q dreadful
dream
And weave new arrss on srandsr

A world where Liberty remains supreme.
