I KEY TO RAPID TRASSIT.

would be had •with the Third Avenue Elevated
Railroad Bar a tinzle fare, la decidedly attrac

the BBase place in Brooklyn, it would provide a
measure of rapid trans-it without regard to bor
oyjrh line?. But it is doubtful whether Brook
lyn would accept this short line from a section
which already has rapid transit as a substitute
for the Fourth avenue subway, which would

of the boroucb to Fort Hamilton; for it appears
that the buildirs of this line as proposed by
the Interboroujrb. would block the Fourth ave
toe project, its proposed route occupying the
first mile or m of the route as laid out for the
Foarth avenue line. Moreover, the adoption of
the Interborough's suggestion and abandonment
of the Fourth avenue subway would, at the cost
of bulldic? a mile or bo of subway, put under
the control of the Interboroush the best avenue
of approach to the Manhattan Bridge for a
long time to come. It may be questioned
whether j that approach to the biggest of the
bridges collecting Manhattan and Brooklyn is
not too important a key to the transit develop

JAPAX'B FINANCES.
j Confidence is expressed by visiting Japanese
, statesmen and financiers in t lie solvency and tha
; renewed prosperity of their country. That con
fident-* accords with the Lopes of Americans for
■ Japan, and, indeed, with their expectation, at
' least so far as tli<_' former condition is con
■ cerned. Nobody, we assume, has really doubted
1 the solvency of Japan. It has been recognized
! that that country is carrying extraordinarily
heavy financial burdens, and that it may at
times feel somewhat embarrassed by them, but
j it lias been taken for granted that it will man-
I fully bear them to the goal and will faithfully
: discharge every obligation, as it has Invariably
' done heretofore. The only fear was that its
financial burdens might doom it to some years
of fiscal stringency and hard times. It will he
pleasant to believe that prosperity is promptly
returning
There seems around for that belief in the re
' port cf the governor of the Bank of Japan for
j 1907 and in other current statistics of Japanese
! finance and trade. Last year was undoubtedly
j a bad one for Japan. But that was largely be-
I cause of the financial disturbances and depres
! sion in America, which disastrously affected
j Japan's enormous trade with this country.
! There was ■ notable falling off in Japanese ex
' ports of hativtai. or fine silks, which find in
j America, perhaps, their most important market,
and also of cotton yarns and sugar, and this
decline went far toward accounting for the more
than $30,000,000 balance of trade against Japan.
; And that unfavorable balance Is the Item which
is most of all dwell upon by critics as a demon
stration of th« bad condition of Japan's finances.

GIBIXG THE GRADUATE.
Azain the srowned jrraduate and the elderly

the stage, and the whole thousaivHezz<»d ques

this part of the programme is th*> appearance

In one's pflth. Still more potent in dispelling
deiupions is th.- much aired opinion that the
ordinary American college education is sadly
behind the times and does not fit students for
practical life. Whether a young man believes
this or not, he can scarcely refrain from doubt
ing bis own genius when high authorities tell
him ilemnh that his head is packed with rub
bish. With daily lessons like these for four
years the college graduate commonly does one
of two things— he acquires such meekness that

looks like a magnificent opening, or else he

PESBIOXB AXD SOCIALISM.
In connection with tbe disbursement of aca
demic pensions by the Carnegie Foundation for
the Advancement of Teaching there has recently
sprung up a controversy over th*' apparently
socialistic tendency of this and similar endow
ments. This discussion, waged chiefly in college
circles, has brought to the fore certain misun
derstandings of the socialistic issue which for
the sake of mnny good things not at all Boclal
lsti« ought to 1 leared up. Although the many
debates among professors and the frequent let
ters in rli'- correspondents' columns of c lentiflc
journals have happily demonstrated tbe exten
sive hostility of the academic world to all ortho
dox socialism, they have also revealed the much
less agreeable fact that, even among "intellec
the fear of socialism is dangerously
vague. This appears in the earnest buf unag
gresslve opposition to all great private quasi
charitable educational endowments like the Car
negie Foundation, the General Education Board
and others. While welcoming the immediate
benefits of these princely -,ifts and applauding
the motives of the givers, the protestants still
maintain that the pensioning of teachers and
other magnificent kindnesses are pernicious be
cause they help set the trend toward socialism.
A few critics go so far as to say that tbe Car
negie Foundation is simon-pure socialism on a
small scale
The close student of socialism is naturally not
to be found in these groups. Far from seeing in
such vast philanthropies the first tremors of a
Marxian revolution, be considers . them among
the surest preventives of such a catastrophe.
And this view is shared by the more acute so
cialists, who view with dismay every betterment
of the social order that does not make socialists
of us all. How is it. then, that the opposite
opinion exists among the educated classes? Why
is the cry of "paternalism" or "communism"
raised against even privately endowed charities
like the Carnegie Foundation? As Professor
Simon X. Patten, of the University of Pennsyl
vania', points out to the readers of "Science,"
the Carnegie Foundation alms simply to Increase
the efficiency of teachers, and hence of higher
education! "by giving security and freedom from
worry for wife and child." And this clear
minded social investigator adds a valuable com
ment on the misinterpretation of the fact. He
writes :
It also seems odd to me to call schemes for en
vironmental improvement paternal and socialis
tic. The confusion of thought involved in these
statements is due to not seeing clearly the dif
ference between the provision which each age
makes for its successor* and the care and con
trol which some Individuals exert over their con
temporaries. We can leave little to our descend
ants except better conditions, sound constitu
tions and a freedom to utilize the forces of nat
ure and society upon which their daily lives de
pend. We make for them the conditions under
which they work; the distribution of current
Income they must settle for themselves. Pater
nalism and socialism seek to control this annual
recurring income and the activities of those who
•^-operate to create current wealth. Every
scheme of social progress calls for a constantly
Improving environment, but every scheme can
not therefore properly be classed as socialistic
and paternal Is it paternalism for parents to
give their children a sound constitution? Should
their children at maturity be allowed to ■ boose
between health .md the present worth of a good
body, pay $20,000? Is the man who tries to buy
his health with pills and nostrums superior to
him whose h -alth is a gift from his ancestors?
The point is as acute as It ousht to be obvious.
And it indirectly suggests the cause of the
slightly prevalent confusion of great benefac
tions (public and private) with socialism. The
men who dread teachers' pensions are guilty <>f
confusing the goal of socialism with the method
or attaining; that goal.' What tin- social :st and
every otlirr reformer, from the wisest statesman
<l i-\ to il).' veriest fool, lire working tr ■■ ,1
world from which the. greatest possible amount
of discomfort shall have been banished. Dif
ferences arise hi soon its the specific methods
of girting ahead are discussed The socialist is
called it socialist and opposed by level beaded,
practical men because he thinks enlvatiaa will
come as soon-as private ownership of property
is successfully forbidden. He is not a socialist
because be advocates the same plan of pensions
which many farsighted business men and cor
porations believe in and practise. Indeed, pen
sions have no more connection with socialism
than typewriting machines or other labor., sav
in* devices have. And to condemn the Carnecle
Foundation because of Its socialistic tendencies
is to credit socialists with other men's ideas and
virtues Whether pensions are wise or not, we
need not discuss here. The first duty of all who
approach this question is to rid themselves of
the morbid fear of everything which fanatics
happen to like. ,

(Governor Fort's appointment of an excise

of the first production there of Wedekind's "The
Awakening of Spring." The play had a run of more
than two hundred nights in Berlin, and the house
at Hanover was sold out because there had ben
much discussion as to whether the censors would
allow the production. "While the scene in the first
art between Frau Bergman and her daughter was
on a police officer strode upon the stage and de
manded In a declamatory manner to see the license
allowing "the child there" to act. The man of the
law was not a little surprised to learn that "the
rhild" was an adult and an actress of high stand-
Ing, whose admirable makeup was an additional
proof of h^r artistic talent.

in New Tork. conferring with the directors abou.
the new policy of the house and in getting fandttai
with the operatic situation .-.ere.
-I am lookine forward with pleasure to my first

Kali hi- office at the Metropolitan pen House
yesterday. -it is too early to announce the definite
Programme for next season, but we •hall give
from five to six absolute novelties and several In
teresting revivals. I go from here to Paris, where
I shall remain on'.y a few days. I shalr th»n pro
ceed to Milan to consult with To-can'.ni and to
make arrangements for our new Italian chorus.
In June I shall go with Toscanini to Vienna, wbere
we expect to confer with Mr. D!pp*l. Mr. Mahler
and Mr. Hertz. Later in the summer 1 shall visit
London, and, by way of a vacation. I us plan
ning to go to Bayreuth and to Munich for the
Wagner and Mozart festivals."
"Incidentally I would like to deny th» rumor
th?.t it was ever the intention of taw new man
agement to give -Der King dcs Nlbelune-n- In
Italian under the direction of Mr. Tascai I
realise fully that the best and most artistic policy
for an International opera house like the Metro
politan Is to present the works of the various
schools In the language in which la* librettos
were originally written.
"As far as Caruso Is concerned, lbs new roles
that he will stag next season will be Dvs Gilsiu
In Massenet's •Mar.on.' which will be gives In
French, with Miss Farrar In the titular role;
Otello and Hermann in Tschaikowsky's Tlque-
Dame' Whether he will ever sing Lohengrin Is
a matter that he must decide for himself, but I
have never contemplated giving It at the Metro
politan in Italian. **
Mr. Gattl-Casazza will return to New Tort early
m October, when the rehearsals will begin under
the direction of Tescantr.'.. Hertz and a new con
