The part which social intercourse and enter tainment play i:i International affairs. cammercial and jxjlitiea!, is unquestion ably large. The Influence of eucxi Itodies at- The Pilgrims, the American Asiatic Association and the Japan Society is large and Ixiueiiceut for the streu^tlieu iug of international friendships and the iKvaasLui: of mutual understanding and appreciation between nations. This new organization ot Mr Banett's will serve 1,. eciteiv bu< h a purpose between tlie United States and the countries of Cen tral and South America; and it may em phatically be added that in no depart ment of our foreign relatious is there greater nml of that service. The organization is further to bo re irarded with approval as another mani f. .-t.-ition of the advancing cosmopolitan vni or Internationalism of this country. Without incurring any questionable en emenre the United States has in re cent years been making gratifying prog ress in participation in those affairs which legitimately oa&eem all buuaue nations. It has more and more shown itself to be a world power not only in those elemental respects in which it has undeniably heici that status for I century and ■ third, but also in the intellectual and so.iai qualities and the relinements and urbanities of national life which come through cultivation as well ns froiii native temperament. It might not nean much merely to have a society and to eat dinners. But it should mean much, of practical credit and advantage, for dis tingnftßtad guests from Latin America to be sure of appreciative and gracious entertainment in the American metrop olis by a numerous company of repre sentative men who take an Intelligent and benevolent interest in the affair? < f the countries from which such visitors come and in the relations between them and the United States. THE TRIBOROCGH QUESTION. ; The triborough sabway project comes i before the Board of Estimate and Appor tionment for its consideration next Fri day. In view of the Mayor's reputed i change of position upon this subject and i the apparent doubt with which Borough I President George McAneny now regards I the triborough plans some fear is es- I pressed that the board wiil reject the I project, although the steps in the prep- Bration of plans and contracts were all 1 taken by the Public Service Commission in cordial co-operation with the rapid j transit committee of the Board of Es j timate and Apportionment, of which the iMayor is a member. It may be well, : therefore, to examine some of the argu ! ments used against the triborough. It is urged that the Public Service I Commission by providing for B tube larzer than the present one has unnec essarily increased the cost of the under taking. The plans call for room for I wider ens than can be perated in the j present subway. This is to provide for i increased carryh g capacity, which seems ]to be wise. They also call for more i "head room"— that is, more room be . iwwn the tracks and the top of the tube-rthan the present subway has. This is to make possible the running in j the subway of suburban train? of rail i roads ent ring the city, should ich rail j roads at any time esire to operate their j trains in the subway. It provides room I tor larger and more powerful motors i than can be placed in the cars of the : present subway. And it will make for ', better ventilation. Chicago, Boston and ' Philadelphia all have built subways with : greater bead room than the present New i York subway has. Boston and Pkiiadel ' phia adopting substantiallythesame head j room that the triborv.u:rh plans call for, | urnl this city ha> already adopte that head room in the bridge loop and in the ! Fourth avenue. Brooklyi line, already ! built or building, both to constitute a part of the triborough system. The Board of Estimate and Apportionment, ; having already accepted the 14 feet G ; inches head room on these routes, would pal itself in an absurd position by re.jeet ' ing rhe triborough project on this ac i lonnt. But the really important 'question to ; be determined is thai raised by the re j cently published report of the transit i committee of the tnber of Commerce j as to whether the cost of the triborough ! subway wil not he s<» great that it will I prove unprofitable to operate. The ; Public Service Commission's licures place i the cost of the proposed line much below that estimated by the Chamber of Com : merce Committee's experts, and the com j mission's estimates are entitled to cre i dence. for thej have been strikingly i justified by the bids <m contracts which i were recently opened. It is to be j observed, too, that the riborough will be ') a system in self, without the extensions lin The Bronx ami in South Brooklyn ! which are aded in the plans. The ! city may wait several ears before ap- p ropriating money for those extensions. - or they may be built by assessment upon ' lK'iiented real estate. They may there ! f<»re be eft out of consideration in de termining th< question now before the j cirv. Without them, the Criborougii ac cording to the commission's figure*?, will I cost about $115,000,000 to build, which i includes the $25,000,000 already spent on ! or appropriated for the bridge loop and i the Fourth avenue Brooklyn, line. It ! would cost about $35,000,000 more to equip, making ■ total of $150,000,000; ' This S3T>.OOO.CM'iO however, would only j faii upon the city in case no operator ! should be "found ready to furnish equip j mem. The present subway cost about ! $100,000,000 to nstruct and eqn and lis immensely profitable. Without the I extensions in outlying territory, then. j the tribunrtigh would i=till be a big sys i tern, running through congested districts jin this •rough and in Brooklyn, serv ing an immense population, and cost ing to ostrud and equip only about Tii) per cent more than the immensely profitable Interborough system. The question therefore r» whether that is a risky dertaldng for the city. THE HEXATOIi FROM XEW JERSEY The -president of Princeton I'niver j sity will promptly be confronted, as ; Governor of Now Jersey, with B particu tariy interesting and instructive object ! lesson in the ractica] politics of party i organization. That will be the selection ;of a United States Senator by the tri | Timphant Democratic majority in the ! Legislature. It remains to be f-een i whether Dr. Wilson will regard it as in enmbent upon or even permissible for | him to take any part in the solution of ) that exceedinsiy complicated and con | troverted problem. The election is an act of the Legislature alone, in which the Governor does not participate. Yet the Governor is looked upon as the head aud leader of his party in the state, and is supposed to be directly and acutely ! concerned in all Hs major doings. This In tli" situation.

WEP^ TESPAY v NOVEMBER 16* -1910- o«'ivocl as morally binding upon the Leg iplatuiv. But only a minority of the Democratic voters took the trouble to indicate their choice, if. indeed, they are to be supposed to have had any choice. The two Democrats whose names were on the ballots were Mr. Kntzenbach. -who was defeated for the governorship three years BgO and w.is defeated for the £ov ernonhtp nomination this year, and Mr. _M:irtim\ the "farmer orator," who has been a candidate, penernlly unsuccess ful, for pretty much every office iv sipht In the state. Mr. Mnrtlne received many more votes than Mr. Katzenbach, and. indeed, more than any one Republican candidate, and therefore claims to be the party* popular choice, for whom the Legislature i< morally bound to vote. His opponents reply thai The primary balloting has no binding or mandatory force, anyway, and that in this case, with to few votes cast, it would be al> surd t» consider it an expression of the general will of the parry. This attitude is conspicuously taken by the supporters of -Senator James Smith, who ! is confessedly in the field for re-election. He did not put his name on the primary ballots, shrewdly pre ferring to give his attention to the nom ination of a candidate for the governor ship who would not only win, but who would also carry in with him a Demo cratic majority in the I;ejzlslature. In that Mr. Smith was notably successful. It was he who brought about the nom ination of Dr. Wilson, and therefore the election of. ■ Democratic majority in the Legislature, and he is now in a position to demand his reward in election to the Senatorship. The Interesting problem is. therefore, whether the Democratic members of the Legislature will vote for Mr. Martine. and thus loyally recognise the moral obligation which, according to their own professions, rests upon them, or will vote for Mr. Smith and thus maintain the traditional Democratic principle that to tho victor belong the spoils. And it will be especially interesting to observe the direction of the new Governor's sym pathy, if he permits it to be perceived— whether it will incline toward the suc cessful primary candidate and the up huidinc of the principle of jwpuiar rule. to which Dr. Wilson is understood to be sincerely attached, or will be controlled by a sentiment of irratitude toward the astute machine manager -who thought it better to dominate a convention than to appeal to the primaries. A GOLDKS OPPORTrxiTY A golden opportunity, an old sold op portunity. to speak more exactly, con fronts the Democratic majority in the next House The Honorable William Sulzer will consent t<> accept the speakersbin. Of Mr. Sulzer's pre-eminent qualifications little Deed be said. They are known of all men. for with that In dustry mid modesty which are chief g his many admirable rralts he has never lost an opportunity to impress them upon an unenlightened public. Did not "BUI." as he is affectionately called "in de Tenth." rwlst The tail of the British lion throughout the entire period of the Boer war with an assiduity which, despite his Teutonic extraction. has earned for him the solid Hibernian vote.- Has he not been a consistent and persistent advocate of increased pay for all postal employes, so that his selec tion would command their unqualified support Throughout tho nation? Did ne not make a vicarious sacrifice of himself and demonstrate to an interested public that the Rochester convention was not "a one-man affair" by securing fifteen— or was it sixteen— votes for the nomina tion for Governor? lias he nor. in fact, | n a persistent and accommodating candidate for every office in the gift of the people of bis state for the last twenty • rs, and was he not once Speaker of -v- rorfe Assembly"? But why en deavor to enumerate his qualifications. A- well seek to paint the lily as to add to his popularity by reciting his claims Co preferment Truly the Democracy is to be con gratulated. Tiie distant rumble of Dem ocratic discord will nov: be boshed. Such upstarts in the political arena as Champ (lark, of Missouri, and Robert Lee Henry, of Texas, can no longer disturb the harmony of the next House by pre senting rival pretensions, for no sane Democratic majority would prefer either to Sulzer. And the country, too, is to mgratulated. Think how much rosier will be the aspect of national af fairs when the sunset locks of our Will iam replace the sparse grny head cover ing of Uncle Joe. Think of the deli cate humor which will go rippling mer rily down the corridors of the Capitol the Senate wing when Speaker Sulzer indulges, at the expense of some disor derly Republican, in that light persiflage of which he is past master. Imagine the i hagrin of the Hon. Serein- Payne and the Hon. John Dalzell when their Igno rance of parliamentary law is mercilessly exposed. And picture, if imagination is equal to the task, the dismay in the diplomatic gallery when the distin guished member from New York tem porarily yields the gavel and takes the floor to give to ''dukes and kings and eh verbal castigation as tney have long deserved, but which Speakers ]i i and Cannon never bad the courage to admtni -tcr Truly, an auburn opportunity confronts the Democrats. May tliey hasten to em brace it. for nothing could add more to the gayety of the nation, and a grateful public would assuredly pay richly for the advertisement in votes, in IW-'. .-t.Y ILL-ADVISED PROTEST. Mr. Edward L. Peeney, of Brooklyn, \ president of the American Federation of Catholic Societies, in bis annual re port to that body in annual session at .\>w Orleans, declared that "in propor tion to the number or Catholics under "the tiu;:. here and in our insular pos "seßskms, we have l»y no means a suffi "cient representation in the public "service." Mr. Feeaey's protest appears j to be ill advised. Fortunately under our form of government religious views or affiliations do not tigun- in the quali fications of public Bervaßta, and surely it cannot be tho wish of Mr. Feeney or the organization <>f which he is presi dent that they should. And yet. were his protest heeded by those In a position to appoint or to elect to public ofllce, that principle would be reversed and 1t would obviously become necessary to ask a man's religious affiliations in order to determine whether or not the proportion of Catholics In public office was deficient, adequate or excessive. It is probable thai Sir. Feeney bad i:, iiiiml the opinion, entertained by amir, of his coreligionists, that there still »-xisis .some prejudice against Catho lics which operates to prevent their appointment to or nomination for public otllce. Whether there is or not such a prejudice la an open question, but even if it exists it cannot be successfully combated by uuy attempt on the part of. Catholics to «enn» "their «har^ That is the wrong way to go about it. Sucn a prejudice. R if and where ******* be oppoHedin the individual cwe,^ot in tt« aggregate. .

Were it wise to cond BMch an inquiry with regard to Catlio llcs-which it doubtless Is not-lt ■ probable that a similar showing would be made. , With regard t,, appointive places out lde the classified service, it remains only for Catholics to prove their qualifications for preferment in individual cases. But they are far more likely to retard than to promote such preferment if they seek it as Catholics, rather than on the indi vidual merits of aspirants to ornce. And that is a* it should be. Representative Henry, of Texas, sees no sood reason why the Speaker should be vested with the power to aroint com mittees—especially if the Speaker Is to be named Claris instead of Henry The first practical demonstration that an aeroplane can safely leave the deck of a war vessel will prove instructive to naval officers abroad as well as in this country. Ely made a slight miscalcula tion in steering, but his flight was nevertheless a success. It Is only by a practical test like his that the nature of the mistakes an aviator may make can be definitely ascertained, so that they may be avoided in the future. Now that one Important question has been settled, the world will wait impatiently for evi dence that a heavier-than-air machine can conveniently land on a ship when it returns from its mission. On this sec ond point there has been rather more uncertainty than on the first, and upon the degree to which it shall be dispelled largely depends the usefulness of the air ship as an adjunct to the* navy. It may he all very well fur Marcus Braun that lit- has escaped wheeling a friend up Second avenue In a cart, in payment of an election bet, but it is rather hard on an expectant public. That Dr. Bumpus will stay u,l the American Museum of Natural History is good news. One of the best things Mr. Morris K. Jesup did for that institution during his presidency was to create the office of director. He was equally happy In his choice of a man to occupy the post. Dr. Bumpus has in the last six years done much to excite popular inter est In the museum, and It is a gratifying announcement that he is intent on in creasing its usefulness in that direction. After all. the most audible silence on the election result? In New York Is that of Mr. Justice Hughes The New Jersey State Board of As sessors require the railroads of that state this year to pay about half a million dollars more In taxes than they paid last year. That is a neat legacy for the Republican government to leave to Its successor. The Hon. Champ Clark purposes to make peace with Representative Fitz gerald, of Tammany Hall. The wisdom of The serpent Mr. Orville Wright is going abroad to initiate the Kaiser into the mysteries of aeroplaning. We have been looking for this ever since a dlstinguißhrd faunal naturalist went up In the air with Hoxie. THE TALK OF THE DAT.

The forests of the Orient were searched for the best and most duru wood, nnd after much competition a Ma nila lumber company has won what Is de scribed as the richest commercial prize of recent years In China.

On Its arrival at Peking work is to start on the mausoleum among the tcmbs of thr Ming dynasty, near the capi tal. For the husre pillars of the mausoleum giant trees will be taken from the Min danao forests. Some of them, already cut, are sixty feet high and four feet in diam* tei weighing over ■eventeen tons.

Sir: Allow me to congratulate you upon the article in this morning's issue of your paper resardlng the express companies' predicament at the Inception of the strike that has been so eJaturbmg for the las; few weeks. That a bußiness of such importance to the country as the carryins: of express, and one which can bp interrupted only at such cost, should ba disrupted by a few helpers Ik incomprehensible, and to my mind shows a lack of conception of present day condi tionp on the part of the management that is hard to grasp. company employing a large number of people should realize that th« handling of an army of men is an Important phase of their business. They &hould select a person for that Job who by nature, experience and study should b« able to establish a policy with, the employes of his company that would unde-- almost any circumstances avoid such an expensive and useless strike as has occurred. No .business in the country can better afforJ to keep their men satisfied than the ex press business. The companiea evidently have not real ized the sensitive point between themselves as capital anr. labor, and so did not pro vide for an emergency. To erpect the president of a company to handle a strike after It has started is simply ridiculous, and I think the companies should be very glad that by a combination of circum stances, rather than by wise management on their part, the strHc.: is now practically over.

Sir: Your efficient editorials supporting ex-Presldent Rooseveli are a soui ■ of gratification to the writer, who is an old subscriber to the daily and Sunday ribune. When i>:ic stops to consider tlie composi tion ana numerical strength or" the forces that are fighting Roosevelt, then the colo nel's resolutt. courageoui charges seem sublime Marshalled against him are all the grafters, bis and little; a.ll the ne farious trusts and shady | pesof business corporations and all the tainted wealthy, all the venal politicians, without regard to party; a multitude of abusive aenrapaDers. thousands of counterfeit Republicans and tens of thousands of excellent people. No man would tackle Buca odds as these unless ti« were imbued with Ideals above- a desire for the limelight. Of course, this hero makes mistakes; all heroes have made them.
