Today Thanks to Mr. Eastman. 7 he Bigger the Better. Hoads Above Railroads. To 5,000 Bankers. ^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE j Thanks to Mr. Eastman of Rochester, and the wide, wide world, this country sees efficient | and thorough development of mu sical talent. To help a nation in music is to help it intellectually. Music and intellect are sisters. Music arouses the brain, refreshes and stimulates it, as nothing else can do. Music is the only stimu lant that has no “next day” of let down and reaction. Mr. Eastman’s school of music in the University of Rochester brings to the city and to the stu dents of music the best musicians of the world, and provides musical genius with a magnificent setting in a beautiful opera house, given to the city by Mr. Eastman and paying financial profit to no one. Young people from all over the United States win scholarships that give them free teaching and $1,000 a year for living expenses. Thus one man’s success finds expression in a way that benefits an entire nation. Wte White Star and Cunard linea have agreed to combine and run a Joint trans-Atlantic service during the coming winter instead at fighting each other for scanty traffic. That’s common sense. And the British government will not interfere. Modern methods call for the biggest possible combina tions in all lines. “The bigger the better, but under public control,” should be the program. A. H. Smith, president of the New York Central, practical man, understanding traffic problems, says that commuters from big cities will soon cause more troubles thsn the railroads have ever known because of intolerable con gestion in suburban traffic. The railroads must decide to carry through passengers and neglect commuters or limit through traffic to take care of commuters. Dr. Harris*, New York traffic expert, brings from Europe a sug gestion that should interest Mr. Smith and everybody else. “Build express automobile roads above the railroad tracks, wherever that is possible,” says Dr. Harriss. Let the railroads charge a yearly sum for automobiles, using the upper deck of the railroad. New York Central tracks from New York to Albany, the North western and the St. Paul out of Chicago and many other railroads, particularly the Long Island rail road in New York state, could each take care of hundreds of thou sands of automobiles. Much of the commuting traffic would go by automobile and motor bus and the railroads, quite properly, would get a return on all passengers and express matter thus carried. Railroad tunnels, bridges, etc., could offer difficulties. But the things could be done, and it might settle the railroad problem of mak ing ends meet and meeting auto mobile competition. To the 5,000 bankers soon to gather in Atlantic City—greeting and a word of advice: Encourage and permit the gov ernment to run the postal savings banks on a generous, attractive basis. Thus you will keep in the United States 75 per cent of the hun dreds of millions that immigrants now send to Europe, because they do not understand the soundness and safety of American savings and other banks. They would all trust the United States govern ment, and if encouraged, they would rather keep their savings here in good dollars than risk Europe’s currency. In the end, all these millions having developed into intelligent ly handled capital, would go to the big banks. Encourage the lit tle fellow from abroad to keep his money here. He will be your Dig customer later. Where his treasure is, his heart will be. Don’t force him to lay up treasure in Europe. The mountain has gone to Mohammed. At least, the British would say so. Baldwin, British prime minister, was in Paris yes terday consulting with Poincare about the Ruhr, which is Europe’s cancer; about Fiume and Corfu, where Mussolini is demonstrating the power of a strong will, en tirely surrounded by feeble un certainty. A luoky thing for Europe, to < day, is the unlimited diplomatic patience of the British. Cold, carefully calculating, absolutely devoted to the empire that they represent, they look far ahead. They do not allow the difficulty or the irritation of the moment to endanger the great thing, which is British imperial power in the future. Next to that of the Vatican, the diplomacy of Great Britain is the ablest in Europe. Manuel Quezon, political boss In the Philippine islands, made a two-hour speech in Manila, saying Americans should get out and let Filipinos rule. “Itja God’s will,” said he. If that’s so, of course, the Filipinos will rule. But is it so? The great Chief Red Jacket, whoae statue now stands in a pub lic park in Buffalo, once made a speech four times as long as Quezon’s, saying the white men should not I™6 their red brothers’ land. But the white men took it. . God’s will is not to be read by everybody. (Copyright. _ When in Omaha Stop at Hotel Rome A Stages Must Enforce Dry Laws, Edict Coolidge Plan for Prosecutions to Relieve Federal Courts of Cases Commonwealths Can Handle. Washington, Sept. 20.—President Coolidge plans to bring about a more drastic enforcement of laws by re quiring each state in the union to as sume its siiare of prosecutions. It wan learned yesterday. The program is aimed directly at dry law enforcement, but involves all federal laws where states have sim ilar statutes, it was stated at the Department of Justice. A compre hensive survey of the situation has just been completed by Attorney Gen eral Daugherty. This study revealed that the whole trouble has been brought about by state legal officials throwing all of their prosecutions Into the federal eoutts. This situation can be rem edied by the simple expedient of hav ing the states relieve the United States judiciary of the burden, it was stated. If President Coolidge calls a con ference of governors in October ns now Contemplated, he will lay such a program before them and ask their co-operation in putting it into execu tion. If not, he'is expected to com municate with the state executives direct, it is understood. In the meantime instructions have been issued to district attorneys and federal officials in the various dis tricts to have them endeavor to have local officials try all cases where state and federal laws are nearly Identical. The main congestion is for viola tions of the prohibition law, it was stated, but there has been a grow ing tendency to throw any number of Mexican Embassy at Washington Since tlio renewed relations between the United States and Mexico, the Mexican embassy Is before the pub lic's eye again.
