For the General Welfare.

Pretty soon the warm season will be
upon Us, and as many of our Texas people
as can get away Will turn their steps 10 fhe
Colorado mountains. the Eastern SeaShore,
the Northern lakes, or the quiet and Sc
Guided mountaln-Side resorts of Tennessee
and Alabama. To these places, suiting
their fancy, they will fee, spending the
heated term" and about the 1st of Sep
TENDER they will come back, feeling at
least that they are much better off in
body than they would have been If they
had stayed in Fort Worth through all the
summer.
But the greater part Of our people belong
to the can t-get-away class. The cares of
business, or the lack of means, holds them
at home all through the hot days of July
and August, They stay here and help to
keep up the city while those who are more
fortunately situated are pursuing pleasure
abroad. DO we not owe it to them as indi-
viduals and as citizens OF Fort Worth to
give them such pleasures as we can while
they stay at home aud hold up the bust
ness of the city2
To provide public park is the least that
can be done for them. That is q public
duty as well as Z concession. a cool park
where, after shutdown has fallen and the
doors are closed to business. the tired man
of affairs can 90 to find relief from the
cares that oyerwhelm his life: where the
haggard clerk and the shop-wearied me-
chanic can seek rest and recreation; where
the fainting mother and housewife can
retire for an hours respite from the press
ing fatigue of life, and where all can meet
in social connection-such a thing is not a
public enterprise Of great usefulness
merely, but il is a pressing need for our
sanitary welfare. And every days delay is
the worse for US.
