PATRIOTISM

During the war "A newspaper
writer with a real understanding
of patriotism wrote am article for
the American press about the
French women. II was said that
they are the most patriotic of all
the people found abroad. That it
is such sacred thing with them
they never mention it-as a good
woman never mentions her good
name.
Tested by such a conception. it
is Illuminating to recall the sena-
torial campaign in Michigan,
where" patriotism was the slogan
of Mr. Newberry Two weeks ago
he was convicted of conspiracy to
violate the laws governing the
election which followed that cam
lpaign. and given the maximum
sentenee-two years in the peni-
ltentiary and fine of 10000
Similar illustrations in principle
could be marshalled without num-
lber. In one way aud another we
iare seeing it and hearing it all the
time. Either some person on paper
is constantly forcing upon the at
tention of the public an assurance
of his or its patriotism. Coupled
with ii uniformly is the charge
that somebody else or some other
paper or organization is disloyal.
Now | want to believe that all of
us are patriotic, just as want to
believe that all women are good,
and all men honorable. My work
for over thirty years has had more
or less 10 do with credits and col
lections. Whenever a man seeking
credit mentions his honesty to me,
| mark him down. If he really is
honest, he never refers to it. !
have had considerable to do with
women and never doubt the good
character of one Of them unless
she boasts of her good standing,
Turns cold shoulder to someone
when there has been no personal
aifrout, or makes a display Of her
body. Then I rate her where She
belongs regardless Of her social

The growth Of Long Island In tho

not q house to rent, and while many
new dwellings are being erected tho
houses are sold In many cases long BE-
fore completion
Tho problem that confronts us all II.
How are we going 70 take care Of tho
people who want to live In tho sub
urbs? Ono Of thu main reasons for
the rapid growth Of Long Island IL It's
excellent train service. Some years
ago Long Island was regarded az
summer community. The population
inereasaA considerably during the
summer months owing to tho number
OF people who spent their vacations
along the ssashoro or In the "country."
but to-day 1t makes no difference to
an individual whether he lives on Lone
Island In the summer or winter. And
this should remain so because Long
Island Is easily accessible to the greater
city and there Is very little difference
In the climate between the two places.
Figures compiled by our commission
show that the Long Island Railroad is
rapidly becoming one of the heaviest
committing lines coming into tho
greater city. The commuters on this
road between It's three western ter
minals-the Pennsylvania Station. Long

Mayor Hylan Urges Financiers to
Promote Construction as Patriotic
Duty and as Business Proposition

city administration has approved in
clude the construction Of the most
modern and commodious docks at
Staten Island and Jamaica Bay.
They are related to railroad systems
making the whole continent tribu-
tary to the maritime commerce Of
New York. Men at the head Of
warehouse and transportation in
terests of great magnitude have ex-
pressed the opinion that this system
Of docks and the great warehouse
eventually to be constructed will con-
tribute incalculably to the wealth of
the metropolis.
With such developments, citizens
will be drawn to New York in great
numbers. They will be needed for
labor, for directive and clerical posi-
tions.
1t should be remembered that
many more miles of subway and ele-
waited construction will be added to
the operable system Of rapid transit
during the present year. 1t is the
Nobject and hope of the city govern
ment to enable the public to use this
whole system, which before Decen-
ber next will be more than twice as
large as it was in 1913, at five-cent
fare rate.
This matter of transportation is
! closely related to the building prob
lem, and the investing public should
understand clearly that despite the
clamor of the public service corpora
tions and the political and financial

There will be public hearing early
next month on several suggestions that
have been made as to the extension
Of the Steinway tunnel from its pres
ent terminus at Forty-second Street
and Lexington Avenue to the projected
terminus at Seventh Avenue. One Of
the proposals under consideration Is
to extend the tube under Forty-sec-
ond Street to point midway between
at that point under Bryant Park to
Forty-frst Street and Sixth Avenue
and thence under Forty-fifst Street to
q connection with tho 1nterborough
Seventh Avenue line and the New York
Municipal Broadway Fourth Avenue
line.
Still another proposal is to install
q moving platform device under Forty
second Street In substitution for the
existing shuttle service, which con-
meets the Interborough's East Side and
hearing will be given at tho same time
on the proposal Of the Thirty-fourth
Street Board Of Trade for the estab-
lishment Of subway "loop" system,
which will operate over the south
bound local track Of the Fourth Ave-
nue. subway and the north-bound local
track Of the Seventh Avenue subway,
use one track of the Forty
Street connection between Fourth an
Seventh avenues and use a track ndt
yet constructed, under either Thirtieh
or Thirty-frst Street, between Fourth
and Seventh avenues.
