Disposing of the Old Oregon

The State of Oregon shows credit
able sentiment in asking the Navy
Department for the historic battle
ship which bears its name, but it is
reaching for too much when it re
quests the United States to pay for
the upkeep Of the old vessel. A State
that wants a relic should want 1t
badly enough to pay for its keep.
1t is twenty-three years since Cap
tain CLARK, brought the Oregon
around the Horn to have her in the
Gulf for the fighting, but the Ameri-
can people have never forgotten the
good ships race. They would be
sorry to see the Oregon go to the
junkman. If the Oregon is not
needed badly for bomb practice it
would be well to let her name State
have her-but at no further cost to
the national purse.

No Dinner for Them.
Tousled Motorists Meet the Cold Eye
Of a Hotel Clerk.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: L pro-

gracious and mentioned my purpose to
a male clerk.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 12. 1921.
To Father knickerbocker's Sons.

Keep the essential fact in mind
from now to the time of the Septem-
ber primaries.
The sole hope of evicting Tam
many, of dismissing MURPHY from
his sinister and sordid responsible
ties, of retiring HYLAN to the strictly
unofficial career which he was born
to adorn, in securing for New York
honest and clean municipal govern
ment at reasonable cost, is in that
union of respectable opposing forces
which the fusion ticket headed by
CURRAN represents.
The thing is as plain as daylight,
as the traditional pikestaff, as the
nose on your face, or as any other
symbol of obviousness.
Why, then, should the main hope
of the decent and disinterested citi-
zens of New York be clouded by the
pernicious activities Of self-seekers
like BENNETT and LA GUARDIA, not to
extend the list Of such?
Out with BENNETT, although the
ousting be brutal in its directness!
Whose candidate is WILLIAM M. BEN
NETT, in actual fact, except his own?
How many times has he run himself
for municipal Office? What basis for
a claim of preferment could his rec
ord Of achievement or promise OF
character present, even in an ordi-
nary non-critical election when indi-
vidual selfishness was not an unmiti-
gated nuisance to a long suffering
public, with its eyes fixed on the only
practicable exit?
Push BENNETT out Of the way and
rescue New York!
Likewise put the soft, soft muffier
on LA GUARDrA. whose shoutings for
LA GuARDGA are considerably louder
in one sense than BENEFITS for BEN
NETT, though his itch for distinction
and hunger for political opportunity
are not a whit more menacing of
widespread disaster to the city and
OF unearned profit to Tammany and
its rule.
The greater good OF the greater
number in the Greater New York re-

A Sesquicentennial Chain.

The Mayor of York, Pennsylvania,
Is urging that there be sesquicen-
tennial celebration of the session OF
the Continental Congress in York in
September, 1777, following the dis
astrous battle of Brandywine Creek
when Congress was forced to leave
Philadelphia.
The Mayors plans are ambitious.
He would have the United States
Congress go in body over the route
from Philadelphia to York which its
Continental predecessor followed.
He would have it stop in Lancaster
and there hold session, as did the
Congress of the dark days OF the
Revolution. Then be would have it
hold another session in York itself,
where for many months the CONT
mental Congress sat.
Expanding his idea still further,
he would have the proposed Declara-
tion of independence sesquicenten-
NAL in Philadelphia in 1926 linked
up with the patriotic demonstrations
I'm York and Lancaster in 1927. He
, even suggests q series OF sesuuicen.
tennial celebrations, beginning with
one in honor OF the battle of Lexing
ton, April 10, 1775, and ending with
another in commemoration Of the
Yorktown surrender, which occurred
October 10, 1871.
But why should the patriotic
Mayor OF York stop his sesquicen-
tennial celebration chain with York
town? Between that triumph and the
ratification by Congress Of the Treaty
OF Peace with Great Britain, January
IA, 1884, there were many events
well worthy Of being sesquicentennial-
lied. There were. for instance, the
adoption by Congress of the great
seal OF tho United States, June 30,
1882: the eighth session OF the Contl-
mental Congress in Princeton, New
Jersey, June 30, 1888; the British
evacuation OF New York, November

The Future Of Spitzbergen.

The Arctic archipelago OF Spitz.
bergen, few years ago the no mans
land of Europe, has come into an un-
expected prominence. During the
world war the Germans, who had
made extensive exploration of the
islands and knew something of their
value, laid claim to them under the
provisions Of the treaty with the Boil
sheviki. On September 26, 1919, how.
ever, the Peace Conference, granting
full protection to the interests OF all
nations, placed Spitzbergen under the
sovereignty Of Norway. That some
of the islands had rich deposits OF
coal has been known for years, but
the value Of the other natural re-
sources was problematic. AS the
British interests were almost as great
as those Of Norway two expeditions
were recently sent out from Great
Britain; one OF them, organized un-
der the auspices of Scottish syndi-
cate, returned not long ago, and the
other, the oxford University expedi-
tion. which is largely scientific in
character, has been sending back to
England interesting and exhaustive
reports on its explorations.
Spitzbergen IS about $500 miles
north OF the Russian coast. For
years after its discovery by the
Dutch In the sixteenth century il
was the prey Of many nations, its
fur bearing animals were almost ex-
terminated and the walrus, seal and
whale OF its waters were destroyed
by the north European fishermen. II
was believed then all the resources
of the islands were exhausted and
years passed with scarcely more
than an occasional fishing smack
landing on its shores. But late in
the last century Norway in one Of
the stages OF severe fuel shortage
was surprised by the arrival Of a
cargo or coal and the statement OF
the shippers that there was plenty
more to be had in the supposed bar.
rem, worthless Spitzbergen.
The development of the coal re-
sources of the islands was largely
due to an American corporation, the
Arctic Coal Company, which in 1905
established settlement, Advent viii
lage, and successfully mined an ex.
tensive area on the south side of Ice
Fjord, the largest and deepest OF the
Spitzbergen bays. Its interests have
now passed largely into Norwegian
and British hands. J. M. WoRprE, the
chief of the Scottish expedition. in
The New York herald., 1921-08-12

an address upon his return to Lon
don before the Royal Geographical
Society, said that some idea OF the
coal industry of the island can be
obtained from the fact that 10000
tons were exported in 1910, and 10000
tons in 1919 and that this summer
the expectation will reach about 200,-
600 tons. On account of the hori-
zontal lie of the strata it is compara-
lively easy to gauge the extent of the
coal reserves. DR.. RUDMosE BRowN's s
estimate is 9,000,000,000 tons, a fig
ure which represents thirty or forty
times the amount of coal annually
mined in Great Britain. "Spitz-
bergen, therefore" says Mr.. WoRDIE,
''can supply the Scandinavian and
northern markets for many years to
come" He does not attempt to proph-
esy how much of this supply will
reach England or western Europe.
Besides coal there are reported to
have been discovered rich deposits OF
iron ore, though mostly of a low
grade; there are deposits, too, of
copper, zinc, molybdenum, asbestos,
gypsum and oil shale, with possibili-
ties of free oil. In recent years a
great improvement has come in the
living conditions of the inhabitants of
the island. Several good harbors have
been developed and communication
with the mainland of Norway is now
frequent. 1t has been discovered that
the climate where tempered by the
Gulf Stream is not severe. In fact,
many Swedish families who have
spent the winter there say that Spitz-
bergen is really warmer than Swe-
den. One enthusiast gives us a pic
ture Of the westernmost island of the
group as a coming winter resort,
with villages and mine fields glow
ing with electric light where amid
recurring periods of brilliant moon
shine and dazzling auroral lights
winter sports can be enjoyed as
keenly as in the high Alps" This
fascinating prophecy of winter sports
within the Arctic Circle as well as
that of Spitzbergen humming with a
multitude of industries is to be full
filed, according to this enthusiast,
within ten years. Maybe, but it is
a big contract.

Oil on the Water.
Fire That Burned the Granite State
Fed From Under the River.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Make no
mistake. The Granite State did not burn
at her dock as the result of the COM
bustion Of floating oil wastes.
The fire was supplied with oil from q
leak in a pipe line under the river. This
fact I nave ascertained from the Navy
Department.
There are a number OF these pipe lines,
and unless they are supplied with gate
valves to stop the flow promptly in case
OF a leak they may cause great loss
by fire among the shipping at any time.
l have written the Board OF Fire I'm
derwriters OF New York and the New
Jersey Board OF Commerce and Naviga-
tion calling their attention to this dan
ger. The New York Fire Department
should be aware Of it.
Millions OF gallons OF oil are pumped
through these pipes and a break might
occur and through neglect some one
could literally set tho river on fire.

The Greatest Man in the World.

A correspondent of our neighbor
the EUening Post has been quizzing,
among the scholarly shades of Will
JAMESTOWN, certain great men to find
out who was the greatest man the
war produced.
viscount BRYCE named trio
MAZARYK, VENIzELos and SHUTS.
Baron KoRFF, remarking that he
hated LENINE, doubted whether there
was a greater man in the world than
the Soviet dictator. Other scholars
made such widely different selections
as WILSON, KEYNES and DEBs.
Our own nomination for Greatest
Man in the World is John Smith.
He was the greatest man the war
produced, for he made the guns and
the shells, the ships and the tanks,
the tents and the trenches. He
manned the fleets, submarines and
airplanes. He went over the top.
John Smith was the greatest man
in the world in the Old Stone Age
and he will continue to be SO until
that drear time when the standard
lied human being predicted by H. G.
WELLS has arrived.
1t is John Smith who ploughs and
harvests, writes and reads, loves and
hates He makes clothes and COM
poses ballads, mows lawns and runs
banks. He gives twenty-five cents for
a collar or twenty-five billions for a
war with equal grace. He pays the
way of the Mazaryks, Venizeloses and
Smutses.

and what famous statesman could
keep on living?

Registers Office Costs.
Mr.. Hopper Insists His Expenditures
We're Less Than Mr.. Donegan's.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Register
Donegan does not state all the facts in
comparing his administration of the
Registers office with mine.
The revenue of the Registers Office
depends on two things. fees and the
number OF papers recorded over neither
of these has Register Donegan any con-
troll whatever. The fees OF all the
county offices. including the Registers.
were increased on September /, 1917
and 1t Is to this cause alone that the
Registers office Is now self-sustaining
and has the increased revenues Mr.. Dom
egan refers to. This increase OF fees
was due to my action: alone in 1914
with the Comptroller's help in 1916. and
finally and successfully with all the
county officers In 1917. Register Done
gan Is the first New York county Reg
lister to have the benefit of the in
creased fees and for his entire term.
During my term the locality index
force of temporary clerks was working
to the limit so that the index would be
finished during my term and be put to
use. Nearly 100000 of the sS46, 1874
appropriation for my three years was
therefore for temporary work which
was finished and should never again ap-
pear In the budget. Therefore properly
to compare the two administrations We
should subtract the cost OF this tenn
rorary index work and we would then
have a result largely In my favor.
Mr.. Donegan calls attention to a saw
ing of $20.011.s4 in supplies during his
term. The fact is the new index called
for large supplies of paper binding and
the like, which did not occur the follow
ing years, as tho index was finished
The public never objects to cost If an
honest return is received for It.
Register Donegan writes as il only
exempt employees could be dropped or
transferred All OF the men working on
the locality and grantee indexes were
temporary appointments and should
havo been dropped or transferred wi n
the indexes were finished. When cut
the recording force in half by ST auard-
izing the forms I had the sur aus men
transferred gradually to other Offices
where vacancies had occurred and thus
no one was out Of employment Reg
lister Donegan has not only retained
this full force for four years, but has
had three temporary jobs made perma-
nent by law.
The main duty OF the New York
county Register just now is to enforce
the Torrens law, which the present Reg
lister is neglecting to do. I am an alb
solutely non-partisan candidate for Reg
lister. II the public wants to have the
Registers office run on that business
