Y the action of the Board of Estimate | sanetion has been | given to The Evening Wor uinpaiga to have the eity acquire Dreamland for a seaside park, and the prospect has been set far om the way to fulfillment. ‘The Board has voted to spend $1,000.000 for the purchase of a plot of seven acres at Coney Is land, indluding all of Dreamland. The plot adjoins the present city park and with it will give the people for their perpetual possession a great stretch of sand beach and reascape. While Dreamland was still smoking five months ago, Tle Even- ing World lannched its eampaign for an extension of the park and | beach front already under municipal ownership. From the first the ject met with public and official favor. With the city now defi- | nitely behind it, a new futuro opens for this great beach, the summer | playground of five million people. The municipal bathhouse, for} which this newspaper agitated so long, is but a promise of what shall come to pass upon that shore. The streets of the metropolis belong to the people. Increasingly | ‘ite water front will be regained by the people and held for their ‘pleasure and traffic. Such has become the city’s deliberate policy, | sand is equally declared by the decisions to acquire Dreamland and to purchase a mile of shore front along Rockaway Beach. THE STATE’S GREATEST ENTERPRISE. Proposition Number One there is important constructive work | aI for voters to ratify. It authorizes tho State to issue bonds in| amount not to exceed $19,800,000 in order to create for the barge “canals terminals—that is “lands,. docks, dock walls, bulkheads, wharves, piers, slips, basins, harbors, structures, tracks, facilities and “equipment for loading and unloading and temporarily storing | » freight.” Of the total sum authorized, $9,740,000 may be spent in this city. | A Port of Call is to be made in North River, near Dyckman street. The Gowanus Bay and Gansevoort Terminals will be dredged and + equipped so that grain cargoes may be transferred direct from barges te ocean-going vessels without storage. There are to be other ter- »-minals at the foot of West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, West *'Seventy-eighth strect, Wost Fifty-first street, Vestry street, in the epresent East River canal basin, at Grand street and East River, in River, at One Hundred and Fiftieth street and Harlem River, at the| “junction of Newtown Creek and East River and in Jamaica Bay. | But for these terminals where freight may be received and des- | patched without unnecessary handling and trucking, the barge canals sewould be of as little practical use as a railroad which had no stations {and sidings and was compelled to drop its freight into fields along ythe way. The absence of proper terminal facilities limited the value of the old canal and has held back water transportation all over the country. Give commerce adequate access to the State’s waterways, decree ‘that the terminals providing access shall never be alienated to private “interests, and the railroads can never again paralyze barge transpor- svtation by monopolizing the water front. New industries, attracted y, by lower freights, will spring up all along the 2,800 miles of im-| proved water front created by the new canals. Register to-day that your vote may aid the passage of Proposi-| “tion Number One, which authorizes the terminals, and the constitu. i tional amendment, marked Six on the ballot, which will preserve in- i violable this great asset to the State. + -- 24+ WHY BOOST APPLE PRICES? ~ FEOPLE had better think twice before they take the advice of “P orehtrdists and middlemen. These want everybody to eat five apples a day, and so take care of a crop larger by 25 per éent. than last year's, and a visible supply, not of 14,000,000 barrels, TZ but of 20,000,000, od The way to keep up prices is to increase consumption. Tho way eet decrease prices is to cut down consi imption. The country tried “this plan in the 1910 meat boycott and understands its economies To eat more apples will ho merely to standardize the short crop prices of Inst winter. They were much too high then. On the eyatreet apples cost more than oranges, and the two-cent apple disap- | “peared; three cents was the bottom price. With a plentiful crop assured, better let eonsmption stay right where it is, in order that everybody may win, in lower prices, his “Tittle rebate from Nature’s unty. | . her tee or ” Letters From the People Tueshay, October 31, a Me the Paton of The Prentnn World What ts the day and date of Tal- low'een thts yeor?

(The New, York World). No. 9 The Hero Who Was Called a Pirate. JHE battle smoke being #0 thick about a tangle of fighting ehipé as to blot out everything, the English captain, Pearson, st: ‘his eyes through the etinging smoke reek, but could no longer see the American flag flying above his opponent's battered vessel, “Have you struck your colors?” he shouted. ssi the American captain, @ lean, swatthy little man, snarled ig reply: “Struck? I've just begun to fight!” The little American who made this famous retort was John Paula Scotch gandener's son—a daring eokiter of fortune who threw in his let with the struggling Revolutionists and is known to history as PaulJones, He was the naval hero of the Revolution; the only man in those atirting When our country began its struggle for freedom we had no navy. Eng Barry, Jones and a few others were the only patriots capable of handling warships. And Jones, promoted to the rank of captain, 18 sai to have been the first man to ratse the Americas ley over such @ ehip. jew the battling colonies were sorely in need of food, clothed and munte | tions of war. 80, inatesd of contenting himself with merely meeting the enemy Ps open fight, he scoured the seas, seizing English vessels and turning them and their rich contents over to the Revolutionists; einking British frigates, crippling British commerce, supplying the Colonists with millions of dollars’ worth of necessaries, It was not such warfare as England was used to, and though it was of more service to America thaf any.eertes of ordinary victories could have been, it won for Jones the name of “pirate.” But this did not worry Jones. Though he knew if he were captured he would be hanged in chains as a common sea-robber, he fearlessly continued his dashing | Aesaulta, Zuen he committed the crowning audacity of his career. He carried | the naval war into the enemy's own country. In other words, with a handful of desperate men he sailed for England, inta the very heart of his fous. His action seemed as suicidally foolish as is that of a baby who creeps into @ den of tigers. Yet he not only espaped capture, but inflicted terrific damage. He slipped past the mighty fleets that guarded England's coasts and boldly attacked her siore He sank her warships; he captured and looted her merchant vessels; he made his name a terror throughout the country. When British frigites eought to close in upon him and crush ‘him by force of numbers he invariably got awsy safely. Next he tried his hand at diplomacy. He sailed into a French port amd coerced the commander there to give an official salute to the American flag, ‘This was the first salute our flag ever received ina European port. The incident went a long way toward bringing about an alliance between France and 'thq Then, helped by Benjamin Franklin, who was our Mintster at the French court, Jones secured command of a few second-hand, almost worthless, old ships, headed by the half-decayed Bonhommie Richard, With ‘this tiny junkshop fleet he took chances once more against the vast navy of England and redoubled his activities at scourging the British coasts, A flotilla of forty British merchant vessels, escorted by the 44-gun Serapts and the 22-gun Countess of Scarboro, put out from port in September, 1778, Jones, undismayed by the tremendous chances against him, et- tacked this formidable enemy. While his other ships A Crowning engaged the Couniess of Scarboro he drove the Bon- Victory. hommie Richard against the huge Serapis. ‘The two com batants—the outworn hulk and the gigantic British fight- ing machine—came at once to close quarters. Lashed togbther, the Serapis and her smaller, weaker oppor battled for three hours. At last the Bonhommie Richard wae riddled tke @ aleve by the enemy's shot and was blazing like an election bonfire. It was a situation that would have spelled defeat and surrender to the average man. But Jones turned { into victory, As the burning Bonhommle. Richard sank beneath his feet he and his crew leaped aboard the Serapis and there beat down all opposition; sweeping the British from the decks and at last forcing Pearson, captain of the Serapis, to strike his colors. “It 1s painful to me,” sneered Pearson ee he surrendered to Jones, “to deliver up my sword to a man who has fought with a rope around his neck!” Had the battle turned out differently Jones would have been hanged by the British, As it was, in spite of his great services to our country, Congress gave him the very scantiest reward and found no further use for his work. He was forced ta end his days, obscure and half-forgotten, in a foreign Jand. Paul Jones was one of the first to taste ‘the ingratitude of a republic.” Not for more than a century after his death would the country which owed so much to him’ advance the money to bring his body back to America.
