at New York a* Second-Class Mali Matter. ——_—— .NO, 16,186, inds Out New York. In 1783, at the age of twenty, the original John Jacob Astor discovered } New York, In 1905, at the age of twenty-six Waldorf Astor is repeating the proc- ess to a degree, This young man is not seeing New York for the first ‘ime, by any means, but it is now that he perceives how OPPOR- ital letters. These are some of the things Mr. Astor has said to The World during his present trip to the city of his father and his grandfather, the town. Greater New York I do not see how any one can predict the New York of the future, It {s mar- vellous to note how tremendously the city rewards a thing of merit, and how ut- terly cold it can be to a thing there js any question about, ‘Aman said to me: “This will be a fine town when it's finished.” 1 ventured to reply that its finish was just as far away as the limit to the ambition of every ; New. Yorker. | Mr, Astor could not be more enthusiastic if he were as American as his blood or his income. Perhaps—who knows?—his ambitions may yet lead him to exercise the same right which was his father’s as to the choice of a land to be called home. However, his sanguine sentiments—the fruit of his + down in the city, of “poking about finding out things'’—come to us at a good time. ' It is more than a trifle disheartening now and then to contemplate the new records of dishonor made in insurance frauds, “high finance” and “graft” politics, Even in the face of a public triumph in Jerome we may feel dismay at the wide reach of crooked schemers, But this young visitor who should be citizen looks behind and be- yond everything at the irresistible growth of New York itself. He leads us to hopeful thoughts. OPPORTUNITY here is perverted by a few men; it is alive and waiting for those who will improve it. i POWER is abused by bosses in poll y the grasp of those in earr Official life of the LEADERSHIP has been degraded for gain; it is open to those who would rightly use it for PURPOSE, Mr. Astor speaks of “the limit to the ambition of every New Yorker.” He leaves us to believe that this limit is set far and high, It surely does not stop with a city in which progress means only so many i new houses and so much new business in a year, regardtess of what baleful shadows may succeed those of “the three M’s,” : Appetites Across the Sea.
