EXIT OF THE TRUCK HORSE
SEEMS TO BE in SIGHT
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskln

NEW YORK CITY, April H.
The truck horse may be slow. but
at least his exit from New York will
be speedy, If the traffic improve
ments recently proposed by DR.
John A. Harriss, special deputy po-
lice commissioner of Traffic here
IRE put into effect.
II believe" says DR.. Harriss, that
a law should be passed at once put
ting an end to the use of horses in
Manhattan by 1925. That would
give the owners of the horses warn
ing and allow plenty of time in
which to dispose of their animals.
The horse is too slow. 1t slows
down traffic everywhere. The auto
mobile is now cheaper than the
horse for every kind of vehicular
| USE"
Since DR.. Harriss is the man who
introduced, as an experiment at his
own expense, the traffic towers which
have brought order out of chaos on
Fifth avenue, his judgment is much
respected. If he asserts that the
horse-drawn vehicle is clogging the
city's traffic arteries, the public is
willing to concede that he knows
what he Is talking about. But the
hui 80 aCCOCldllOA VI I'D ID iOts
1t has come forward with a loud
mails and statistics.
Business men in New York know
that it is ridiculous to talk of speed
ing up traffic by the elimination of
the horse" declares Mr.. Wayne
Dinsmore. secretary of the .associa-
ton. "Only the other day, the trans
portation manager of one of New
York's largest ice companies declar-
ed that better time could be made in
the downtown districts with a team
than with a motor truck, and in ac-
tual delivery work there is no COM
parison between the two.
Statistics show that without ex-
ception horses are the cheapest to
operate, the longest to live and the
easiest to handle on all short hauls
in cities where frequent stop work
and deliveries within a radius of ten
miles from the heart of the city are
essential.
Big Loads, Short Hauls
"Consider the situation of the
trucking companies, for example.
The island of Manhattan is narrow,
and the docking facilities are locat-
ed along both sides of the island,
while warehouses and railroad de-
pots are centrally located. This
means that trucking companies in
New York have a maximum amount
to handle with a minimum length OF
haul.
1.-The congestion in the business
sections OF the city, where most of
the trucking is done. makes travel
necessarily slow. The exclusive use
of. automobiles in place of horses in
these areas would increase the con-
gestion, without noticeable speed
ing up of traffic. Horses are more
easily stopped and started than mo-
tor trucks. Think of how difficult 1t
would be to deliver milk by motor.
Furthermore" continues Mr..
Dinsmore, Statistics do not bear

Found Work-And Worked

tMHEN HENRY +. DAWSON went to New York
w to look for work at the age of nineteen, he failed
to find a job in all that big city. 1t was work that
he was looking for and if New York did not desire
his services, he did not become discouraged. He per-
severed in his quest and finallyifound a job,at Bridge
port, Connecticut, as a bank messenger. It was in
1886 that he first went to the center Of American
industry and finance, and from that moment until
the day of his death he never ceased to look for work.
It was the keynote of his life.
From the first meagre start he never failed to find
work in plenty, and It is the record of his life that
he did it we'll So well in fact that after a time the
work came seeking him.
+. The record Mr.. Dawson left in business, finance
and public works is o lesson for American youth to
contemplate. He was honest. but integrity alone win
not win success. He was ambitious. but ambition
alone will not lead to achievement. He.may have had
friends who could have helped him get an unusually
good start, but if he had he evidently made no call
the banking business and by demonstrating his ability
position to another until the city which refused his
services in any capacity in 1886 was glad to accept
his counsel on any subject of finance before he had
passed his fiftieth year.
It would be manifest insincerity to assert that every
youth can attain the same high place in national af.
fairs, for undoubtedly Mr.. Dawson had natural talents
for finance that many young men do not possess
Others have different talents of no less value to the
world and fitting their possessors for places no less
useful and honorable in the great world of affairs
The one lesson of every mans success is that to integ-
rity and ability there must be added industry and
thrift-expenditure of energy and economy of time
If one hopes to attain unusual heights in this busy

according to report. is to lie an occasion for improving
the British position IN Belgium whiel. is supposed to be
wavering away from the, British and towards the
French as her two allies develop differences in desires
and policies.
1.-THE British king and qa cen may be able to exert
a royal influence to count eract French diplomacy.
This is dangerous stratagem and full of trouble. The

palace intrigue and royal fanil y maneuvering.h has cost
the people of Europe dearly aud it has. cost the United
States a great deal.
1.-THE United States was reAponsib1e forr the over

institution in Europe was dangerous to it. The danger
might not always be apparent, 3ut it would exist

American experiences with Napoleon III. and Maxi
milan of Austria in Mexico, the threats ofsthe Hohen-

Republics and monarchies are necessary sopponents.
Their differences are not;merely POLITICAL. They are
social and essential.
Great Britain would not have owershrcwn mon

permitted to succeed him, but the British would have
permitted the monarchy to exist. Tbr Arnericsns

The American instinct was sound in this. 1t was an
effective war move. The American republic avoids

been democratized fifty years.ago the war might have
been avoided. ,
"The evils of intriguing secret Diplomacy, with
secret treaties and secret understandings, are not
greater than the evils which can arise out of dynastic
manipulation of international relations. Republics
fear that instinctively.
Royal families produced the two groupings of
