RAPID TRANSIT TO IMPROVE FERRY

Foot passengers on the Staten Island ferry are going to
have an approach of their own for getting on and off the
boat. Mayor Wilson was notified this morning that altera-
lions at the ferry at the foot of Smith street would be
started at once. That there is a disposition on the part of
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, which controls the
ferry, to give necessary accommodations to the public is
apparent. 1t is to be hoped that this is a beginning of better
things in regard TO the Rapid Transit.
There is no denying thai The Staten Island railroad has
come into great disrepute in recent years due mainly to its
apparent Indifference as to the welfare of its patrons. In
spite of its low fare it has been unable to hold the business
it once had. Passengers from Perth Amboy going to New
York have come TO use the Central and Pennsylvania rail-
roads almost exclusively. Many were loath to change be-
cause they rather enjoyed the trip across the island and
the sail across New York bay. But conditions of travel be-
came so intolerable and connections were so uncertain that
comparatively few people use the Staten Island route any
more.
Those now in charge of the operations Of the Rapid
Transit show a disposition to please the public in every way
possible. They assure the mayor that they will be glad to
give the most careful consideration to any matter that may
be brought before them for the betterment of the Staten
Island Rapid Transit. With this attitude on the part of the
railroad officials we may look for a new era on the Rapid
Transit railroad.

CLEANING UP THE COUNTY

People who have respect for law and order will appre-
cate the work that Sam H. Cone, the federal prohibition
enforcement officer is doing in Middlesex county. The rep
utation that this county has had ever since the enactment of
the Volstead act, and more particularly the Van Ness act, is
nothing to be proud of. 1t begins to look as if there was a
new order of things. At least it can no longer be said that
no effort is being made to enforce the law.
Judging from the success of the cleanup now under
Way it would seem as if the local authorities, including city
and county officials, are not altogether ignorant of what is
going ON. While the active work is being done by the fed
eral prohibition enforcement officer there is reason to be-
lieve that he has the backing and encouragement of local
police authorities, at least as far as Perth Amboy is con-
cerned, as well as the prosecutors office.
It is a mighty wholesome situation and reflects credit
on those whose duty it is to enforce the law. 1t is particu-
larly gratifying to have a man like Cone in charge of pro-
hibition enforcement. He is performing his duty without
fear or favor. Booze selling is something that is prohibited
by the constitution of the United States and there are laws,
both national and state, for the enforcement thereof. Under
the circumstances, therefore, self-respecting, law-abiding
citizens will beck the authorities in the work they are now
doing in cleaning up the county. Those who are violating the
law certainly have had enough warning by this time. They
know what to expect if they get caught.

Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

Grille points out, the worst result of
international war is that it is de-
stroying the race. The World War,
with its ten millions of the best
young men slain, was the worst blow
that ever befell the human race
And yet we are now busily getting
ready for another world war, which
will be far more destructive than the
last, and which will not spare Amer
lea as the last one did, because
America will be the very center of
it.
Why does this madness go on ?
Why have not nations learned to
sublimate thoir fighting power, as
individuals have done?
Crile's answer is that, while edu-
cation has carefully curbed the in
dividual fighting impulse, it has
carefully cultivated the national
fighting impulse. The common man
has been taught that he must not
slit his neighbours throat and take
his money, but he is taught that his
nation may rightfully attack a
n~eighboring nation. with a gun,
sword. poison, and starvation.
There is no real difference in
moral value between the two forms
of fighting, but the international
fighting is usually dignif l with a
lot of fake moral issues.
We are Educated for War
The common man responds so
quickly to a call for war because all
of his education has been directed to
prepare him for response TO that
call. He is always taught that war
is glorious. From the first picture
he sees in his school history books,
on through his education, and his
adult reading, he learns of war as
a glorious adventure for brave men.
He is taught to abhor individual
fighting, but to reverence the mass
fighting known as war.

: When common men all over the
world see war for just what it is,
when the word awakens aversion
instead of enthusiasm, then and
then only will it be doomed, says
Grille. He urges that war be paint
ed at least fairly-that both sides
be shown. AS an example of what
he means he prints some pictures
i'm his book, two on a page. The
lower picture on one page is a typi-
cal illustration from a school his
tory, of a fife and drum corps brave
ly marching to battle. Above it Grille
prints a picture which he labels
THE End Effect" of a man with
his whole mouth and nose and chin
blown off by a hand grenade. Again
he prints a typical patriotic painting
of a cavalry charge, and above it a
picture from the World War of d
field after a charge, strewn with
dead and writhing men.
If men were taught from child
hood what a really is, what its
actual effects are on the individual
and on the race, what its benefits are
and who gets them. the whole re-
action 10 war would be modified. 1t
would be twice as hard for politi-
clans to make a war as it is now.
This task in education is probably
a task for journalism and literature
rather than for the schools. And
there are signs that it is being done.
For example, two of the most wide
ly read books of the fall season are
a novel which describes the actual
experience of some Americans in the
last war, with every detail of horror
ana hardship put in, and a book
which tells what the next war will
be like, with poison gas and air
bombs in full action. guch books
do more for the cause of interna-
tional peace than sixteen disarma-
ment conferences.
