Americas s Makers.
The English at jamestown Preceded
the Dutch in Manhattan.

To THE New YORK HERALD: "Amer-
ica's Making Is I suppose. some sort
of historical commemoration. Mrs. Van
Rensselaer's spirited letter In your pa
per of October 29 is not only interesting
but important.
We pay too little attention to the ac-
tual beginnings of our history and those
sources which were not English. She is
mistaken in implying that the English
were not the first settlers. Impressed
with the wonderful drama Of the colony
at Roanoke Island under the patronage
of Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Richard
Grenvllle. and the story OF the little
girl born there In the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, who might have grown up
as the pride of sixteenth century set
tlement of Englishmen In America but
for the Spanish Armada, Mrs. Van
Rensselaer,. who places the Dutch be-
ginnings at 1914, seems to have forgot
ten jamestown.
On the banks Of James River in 1907
was planted a settlement which was
earlier than any on the Hudson, and
from which have come distinguished
Americans. and that the line has never
been broken is illustrated by the In
teresting facts that Master John Rolfe
was married there In 1913 and that
among the descendants of that mar
riagc Is the wife Of an ex-President Of
the United States. But the virginians
are able to defend their own priority
and supremacy and need no outside
help.
The Dutch effected permanent SETTLE
ment at Manhattan at date usually
given as 1923. In 1881 they made a
settlement on the Delaware or South
River. as they called Il. which the In
dians destroyed. In 1888 the swedes
settled on the river. but the Dutch
claimed the country and after some
years Of controversy and military con-
tests Of varying result Governor stuy-
vesant decided the matter In 1855 by
sending a considerable force which re-
duced the Swedes to obedience. The
settlements on the South River were
thereafter governed as part OF New
Netherland until the Dutch were CON
uuered by the English in 1864, and
King Charles III. gave the territory to
the Duke of York.
In the same year New Jersey was
granted to Berkeley and Carteret, but
the Dukes Governor In New York had
Jurisdiction also over PennsyIvania and
Delaware until II was transferred to

Penn in 1882. When we speak Of WILL
lam Penn as the founder Of Pennsyl-
vania we are apt to think Of him as
one who established new settlement
and to forget that he took over the gov
ernment of a country which for more
than forty years had been ruled by
Europeans. and for eighteen had been a
well organized. prosperous and law abid-
ing English colony.
Naturally. then. it is surprising that
New York should fall to give due recog-
milton to the Dutch element in its estab-
lishment, and it should be resented by
New Yorkers-and by Pennsylvanians
too for that matter. The facts ought to
be so generally known that their publ
cation would be unnecessary, but they
are too often forgotten. On the oc-
casion Of any sort of historical celebra-
ton they should be emphasized.

The Borough Presidency.

In some respects the Office of Bor-
cugh President is as important to the
safety and comfort Of the citizen as
the Mayors Office itself.
The President of borough directs
the paving and repairing of streets
and the laying Of walks.
He sees to the removal of street
membranes.
He directs the construction Of sur
face railroad tracks.
He plans all the drainage Of the
borough and constructs and main
tains its sewers.
He cleans nearly all the public
buildings except school, fire and po-
lice station houses.
He builds and looks after the pub
lie baths and comfort stations.
He oversees the construction Of
new buildings and the alteration Of
old ones and enforces the labor and
other building laws.
He is a member of the Board Of
Estimate.
The Borough President has no uni
formed bodies to parade yearly and
call attention to his activities. He best
serves the city when his work goes
unnoticed; when the streets are well
paved and unencumbered, the sewers
working, the public buildings neat
and the construction of new build
ings carried on without danger.
HENRY CURRAN has been that kind
Of Borough President. There has
been no scandal in his administra-
tion these last two years.
Now Manhattan is to elect, for a
term Of four years, successor to
Mr.. CURRAN. He must be an honest
man and good executive officer.
He must know how to get and keep,
as CURRAN has got and kept, the
right kind of commissioners, super
intendents and engineers.
The coalition conference chose, and
the Republican primaries ratified. a
good business man to run for Bor-
ough President Of Manhattan. He
is ERNEST F. EIIERT, a native New
Yorker, whose ability has made him
president of the New York Employ
ing Printers Association. He has
already served the public as a men,
Der of the Board of Education.
The Citizens Union says of Mr..
EILERT that he is "a capable business
man of wide experience and broad
vision, who should be useful addi-
tion to the Board Of Estimate"
Important as it is to have good
men in the Board Of Estimate it is
even more important to elect Mr..
EnERr to succeed Mr. CURRAN as the
chief of an office that is so important
to the welfare of every man and
woman on Manhattan Island; an
office which must not be allowed to
fall back into the eager hands of
Tammany Hall.
Vote for ErLERr for Borough Pres
ident and keep a well conducted
Office running well!

Tramc-Killing Rail Rates.

A freight rate that loses the busi-
ness is not worth anything to the
carrier in the way Of revenue; it Is
not worth anything to the railroad
worker whose job depends on the
traffic that is hauled. Products OF
the mines and of the forests nor
mally form the great bulk Of the
transcontinental railway traffic. But
the roads have lost 80 per cent. of the
coast to coast shipments of east
bound lumber. 1t now goes by the
Panama Canal because the water cost
is cheaper than the rail cost.
The lumber business which has
thus slipped through the fingers Of
the railroads is huge. The water
shipments from Oregon and Wash
ington to Atlantic ports amounted in
the first half of this year to 90.000.-
900 feet. This 9O,0O0,0OO feet of
lumber represented about $4,000
tons Of traffic. At that rate the
whole year would show 10000 tons
taken away from the railroads
merely in Oregon and Washington
lumber bound for the Eastern sea-
board. Every lumber train crew
which has been dropped because Of
this dead business is out Of pocket
just as the roads are.
The railway managers are sensible
enough to see that a great and costly
plant built and maintained to per-
form certain work Is no better than
Junk either as an economic machine
or as stockholders investment IL 1t
does not do the work 1t was designed
to do, whatever the reason for not
doing it. They wish to make trans
continental rate which. will bring
back the lumber traffic to the rail
roads. They are shaving the existing
lumber tariffs to try to find the point
where the traffic will return.
But there is dead line Of operat-
ing expenses-the cost of hauling the
freight-below which they cannot
20 with traffic receipts unless they
are willing to run head on into re-
ceiverships. There is no profit in
business that is not hauled, but there
is worse than no profit, there Is a
less. in business costing more to haul
than the road can get out Of 1t In
gross receipts.
Here is where the railroad labor
which has jobs when the traffic flows
but loses the jobs when it does not
flow wants to look at the problem
from exactly the same angle as the
railroad manageable angle OF the
imperative need to get the business.
The railroad worker has the same
bread and butter stake in the ven
ture. The railroad worker cannot
win, any more than the railroad man.
sger and the railroad stockholder can.
unless the missing lumber or other
traffic Is recaptured.
The railway workers and the rail-
way managers need to get together
on this dilemma which faces each
alike and work out the problem Of
reducing operating expenses so that
rates also may be reduced to the
point where they will command the
business necessary to pay the wages
and all the other charges of main
tanning and operating the carriers.

Welcome to Japan's Delegation.

The national capital yesterday ex-
tended a hearty welcome to the jap
anese delegation to the conference
for the limitation. of armament. The
delegation is headed by Prince To.
KUGAwA and includes Admiral KATo,
Westminster Of Foreign Affairs
RANIHARA and more than fifty other
members representing the various in
terests Of imperial Japan.
To the Japanese the delegation
which they send to America is not
only the most representative of their
nation and the most capable Of in
terpreting their attitude upon inter-
national matters but at the same
time perhaps the most distinguished
which they have ever sent to for
eign country. It's head. Prince To
KUGAwA, is the adopted son Of the
last Shotgun of the third Shogunate
Government, which fell in 1867 Had
the present imperial house not come
into power the next year he would
by right have been the eighteenth
Shotgun ruler Of Japan. The Prince
after the change Of government went
to England, where he received his
university education, and he has
since travelled extensively, visiting
this country several times. He is
President of the Japanese House of
Peers, and foreigners who have met
him either personally or officially
credit him with q broad and liberal
view upon international questions.
With Admiral KATo America Is
more or less familiar. He was one
of the first high naval or military
officials of Japan to advocate limi-
tation of armament and to advise an
understanding upon that subject with
the United States. Mr.. HANIHARA, as
a member of the Japanese Foreign
Office, will to very large extent ex-
press the opinions of his Premier,
Mr.. HARA. What representation the
Genro, the actual power behind the
throne, may have in the delegation
is not clear. 1t will be an interest
ing development Of the conference
to discover how far the spirit of the
aged YAMAGATA will prevail in the
japanese delegation. 1t is believed
that he stands alone as a stern mill
tarist, and that his three colleagues,
MATsUGATA, SAIoNJI and OKUMA, hold
views strongly at variance with the
veteran soldier and diplomat. THE
characteristics of these four Genro,"
says YosHI S. KuNo, frank spokes-
man of Japan's ruling forces, "en
able one to predict in measure the
future tendencies Of Japan. Only
one is strongly militaristic"
The Japanese delegation will un-
doubtedly have part of no small i'm
portance in the conference. The
questions with which Japan is deeply
concerned-the development Of China
and eastern Siberia. the control Of
the strategically important islands Of
the Far East ana OF the racine
Ocean-are all matters of grave con-
Germ In international affairs not only
of to-day but of tomorrow. Japan
comes to an international conference,
one of her representatives says,
where she hopes for the same
achievement and results as the other
people at the council table and she
has no desire to place herself "in op.
position to other nations in princi-
pies nor to court their disapproval
and suspicion by adopting a position
inimical to the general welfare" For
this spirit America extends to her
delegates a hearty welcome at her
seat of Government.
