LOOKS LIKE THEY WERE RIGHT-
The Republican organs have been for
months charging that the tariff agitation
and tariff tinkering Of the Democracy
was running business Now to show how
sincere they have been the Republican
Senators have gone into the business
themselves. Looks like confession that
the Democrats were right in attempting
to reform the tariff and reduce the sur

| GOVERNORS ISLAND AS A PARK-Yes,
let US have Governors Island for park.
The points made by the House Commit
tee on Naval Affairs are absolutely un-
answeratle. Governors Island would
make unique park, and the city needs
it. 1t is useless as fort and unnecessary

most popular of resorts close to the city,

keeping cool. We should try first to
master our complainings then to BE-
careful what we eat and drink to avoid
expOsure to the sun; to avoid
excitement and physical exertion; to
keep 10 the shade and to indulge in no

ONLY WORTH QUARTER Base
ball at Is cents is making money for the
clubs, whereas 1t bad proved a losing
business at the 50-cent rate. 1t was
absurd to try to turn popular game into
a select, high priced show. Only a small
proportion of the people who frequent
baseball games could afford to pay the
higher rate on ordinary occasions. But
they can generally afford quarter and
are more likely to be satisfied that they
