ROMPT have been the responses to the suggestion of The Evening World that advantage be taken of the opportunity to provide an ample patk on the ocean front. They have come from Borough Presidents, from Aldermen, from pastors of all denominations and from the wide sympathies of the people generally. The issue is essentially timely. The opportunity will not wait on endless academic discussion. Dreamland aite will not remain vacant indefinitely. Nor will the present pressure for park space remain unchanged. With the advancing improvement in transpor- teflon facilities for reaching Coney, there will come increasing demands for the site and advancing prices for the whole beach. This is © case where a prompt expenditure will assure a perma- | nent economy. | The people need the park, the city can afford it, authorities recommend the purchase, the public approves it—-what more induce- ment can the Board of Estimate and Apportionment require to Prompt it to action? —— AMERICANS AND ARBITRATION. EMBERS of the German American Alliance and of the Ancient Order of Hibernians met at a fe mony. The President of the Alliance sni prosperity of the United States is due entirely | to the Germans and the Irish.” The spokesman | for the Ancient Order said: “If it were not for | the Germans and the Irish the United States would not be where} it is to-day.” Then they proceeded to resolve against the arbitra- tion treaty. | The statements of the orators are as interesting as the resolu- | tions. An observant visitor to the city on studying Broadway would | Perceive a multitude of signe tending to the conclusion that the topmost prosperity of the country is due to Hebrews. Should} he go West to the land of Hiawatha and the blooming Minnehaha, he would learn that the upbuilders of the country are Scandinavians. When the aquavit flows at banquets in Minnesota or the Dakotas praise is given to the heroes of northland that discovered America, ‘and the cry of the feasters is: “Skald to the viking! Skald!” On the Pacific Coast they say the Spaniards did it all—that while the Pilgrim fathers of New England were babies civilization spread her luminous wings on the Pacific Coast and San Diego became a city. But « correspondent says that in Prospect Park he heard a Seengerbund standing before a bust of Mozart sing “Old Black Joe.” That ise sign we are one people—Americans all. Our voice is for arbitration. TROLLEY CAR ROWDIES. NOTHER outrage by a gang of hoodlums on a| trolley car occurred on Sunday to reduplicate | the lesson of other Sundays. In this instance a dozen young men attacked a girl and had almost | torn off her shirtwaist before the other passen- gers in the car succeeded in freeing her from ‘ their hands. We are told the girl was so hys- terical from the shock that she could not be prevailed upon to make | & complaint. Offenses of this kind have become common. They occur upon almost al] suburban lines. They are especially frequent on the evenings of Sundays and holidays, when many girls and children are apt to be on the cars. They constitute a serious menace to the free enjoyment of suburban parks and pleasure resorts. They should, therefore, be punished invariably, promptly and severely. That is the only way to stop them. And the stopping is imperative. pS i a 2 OC en REFORM AND RESPECTS, EVELATIONS made by Mr. Farley, State Ex- cise Commissioner, of the frequency with which men in the employ of his department have been set to the task of doing politics for Re- publican bosses are not intended for a reproof of the Civil Service Reform Association, but for its edification. Incidentally, they are both interesting and edifying to the public. Bmployment of civil service agente in the subtler activities of u eampeigns appears to have been, if not an habitual thing, at least a practice to which the Republican machine was addicted. Nor were In a letter made public by the Commissioner one of them says: “I am deeply interested in the re-election of Gov. Hughes and shall pay my re- spects of my own free will and accord to Republican Headquarters here as soon as my next check comes.” What sort of “respects” are they that cannot be paid until a check comes? It looks as if civil service reform in this department of State Government cannot be effected with a broom.
