Nerc York Legs

After many years Of strap-hang~
ing, waiting in line for theatre
tickets, lunching standing up and
kindred diurnal habits that tend to
strengthen the leg, it can be said
without fear Of successful contra
diction that the average New Yorker
can stand up longer ard more pa
tiently than any other citizen on the
face of the earth. Thus, if so
minded, he becomes an excellent and
durable pedestrian. If the millen-
mum arrives it might be said that
he is not inadequately equipped to
project passenger strike.
Not only is the good nature Of
the average New Yorker I'M
pervious to assault, and MS knows
edge of his city surprisingly slim,
but the basic principles that UNDER
lie any especial inconvenience ars
almost devoid of interest TO him.
Inquiry as to the justice Of tbs
train workers strike led to ad-
missions of ignorance or parrot like
utterances that were buffeted hither
and yon. What did it matter that
the Interborough strike was the
sixth of series that began in De-
troit and travelled to Cleveland,
Boston, Chicago, Brooklyn, and
finally New York? What Of the
economic principles involved and the
national effect upon labor and CAPT.
tai? What if the market slumped,
or the Interborough. already skirt
ing the banks of bankruptcy, was
forced TO put up S5.00O,00O more an
nually for wages? What if the in.
terest couldn't be paid on $780,
100000 worth Of bonds for the dual
subway system? What is the dual
subway system?
The average New Yorker should
| be annoyed,
1t was enough that there was q
strike and that he must get down
town. In time the strike would blow
over-strikes always did-and in
the interim no inconvenience could
fracture his smile. If It could his
smile would have been permanently
disabled long ago.

tons. There are many more than
a million workers in lower New
York, but the remainder arrive by
automobile or surface cars or are
carried by rail or ferry from New
Jersey, Long Island and Brooklyn.
In round figures 100000 Of the
100000 in Manhattan and The
Bronx we're the good-humored vic
TINS of the strike.
AS if to test that impenetrable
complacency which is the New York
er's, a steady drizzle fell most of
the day. Mayor Hylan, Public Ser
vice Commissioner Nixon and the
strikers and their employers gath
cred for powwows in rooms that
were dry and rooms that were
roomy, but out Of doors, in g putter-
ing, sloshy rain that laid pneumonia
and lesser ills under foot, New York
marched to and from work, and
laughed about it.
Not only, were a million workers
subjected to the physical discomforts
of a railway tie-up-they were
straightway made the victims of a
guerilla warfare fought with the
weapons of dollars and cents. 1t
was battle peculiar to and typical
of New York. The public chauffeur
was on one side, the public on the
other.

By common consent the Green Car
roofs were voted the most popular.
! They were easier Of access. The
metal bars protecting the surface of
car windows-ordinarily preventing
the pedestrian from breaking in or
the passenger from jumping out

ladder up which the undaunted New
Yorker climbed until he sat on

There is apt to be too little incon-

largely through the INSIST
ence Of United States Senator
Thomas Sterling, of South Dakota.
that such an institution be estab-
lished in the capital city. Tie uni
versity would be a postgraduate
school solely and would bring to-
gether the heads Of the various stats
universities at specified periods.
Few people there are, perhaps.
who know there is standing COM
mittee of the United States Senats
called the Committee on the Univer-
sity Of the United States. That ii
is comparatively unimportant one
is evidenced by the fact that the
chairman of this committee is al
ways member Of the minority
party in the Senate. W. P. Dilling-
ham, Republican Senator from YER
mont, was the chairman in the last
Congress. In the present Congress
the chairman will be a Democratic
Senator.
The idea of national university
was conceived in the mind of George
Washington, and it may be due more
to this fact that the idea has been
preserved to the American people
through Senate committee than to
any practical interest in the mat
ter. But the interest is assuming a
new significance in these times OF
advanced learning and educational
evolution. That great national
postgraduate school for the recep-
ton Of state university graduates
Will De established sooner or later IS
the prediction of such supporters Of
the movement as Senator Sterling.
The Senator sees in the idea
means OF training diplomats, foreign
emlssaries and public men. Men
who have desired to enter the con-
sular or allied service have felt
themselves at a disadvantage be-
cause there was no school or depart
ment where they could obtain the
necessary training. The Senator
says the location of such college L.
the capital would also offer the stu.
dents unlimited opportunity of meet
ing men high in public life from
every country in the world.
Senator Sterling hopes that some
thing will be done in the present
Congress toward realizing this ideal.
but so far the project has not adj
vanced to the point where any esti-
mate of the amount Of money re-
CURED or selection of q site has
been made.

Hampton, July ia study of the
recent vote In this county that resulted
in the defeat of the hard roads propo-
sition by 80 votes. reveals that nearly
all the pretents that voted against the
Improvement were located IN town
ships that held a large amount or
drainage districts wholly or partly in
them. This fact gives rise to the
query as to whether or not the heavy
drainage assessments in those locali-
ties did not have much to do with the
strong anti vote. In only two of the
townships that returned an adverse
vote was there no drainage districts
West Fork and Osceola. The heavy
majorities on the no side came from
the west and southwest parts of the
county and in these parts, too, are the
drainage districts most numerous.
Ignore Increased Land Values.
So there can be little doubt but that
the assessments that land there is
obliged to bear on account of drainage
had much to do with the way its own
ers voted on the hard roads question.
They reasoned, probably, that they
were having the drainage payments to
meet and did not wish to take on the
added expense of the road project.
But they forgot the other side of the
question. Just as the draining of the
land has added thousands of acres to
the productive list and made it more
valuable so would paved roads also
add value to every acre, bring market
miles nearer and add immensely to the
pleasure of living. The good roads
