A BIaANIsT WHO HAS Frrs,

Epilepsy as an excuse for too much
matrimony IL the latest scintillation of
nineteenth century civilization. A Brook.
iyn bigamist, who was arraigned in court
yesterday. pleaded guilty, but gave as an
excuse that his time and mind were

didn't know what he was doing when he
married wife No. 2. The Judge said that
the plea was thin, but SO novel that he
would have to study over the matter for
several days before he could pass iudR-

The trouble about accepting epilepsy as

FOR MORE PARKS.

1t Is proposed to provide two new parks
for that portion Of the city known as
Washington Heights. One has already
oeen authorized by a bill approved by
the Governor. The other Is now be-
fore the Legislature for action.
Some property-owners whose holdings
will be affected by the second park pro-
test against 1t as unnecessary. and one
Of them %dcnounces It as "a Tammany
Job to make places for a few favorites.'
1t is possible that the second park
may be superf1uous But is is dificult
make the people believe that we can
Rave too many breathing places In the
new portions Of the city. The neighbor-
hood interested will In the course OF
time be crowded like the lower parts OF
the city. and. when It 10 too late, the
want OF parks may be regretted, as II
is to-day In other localities. 1t Ia
true economy to purchase the land for
such desirable improvements while prop
erty is cheap.
The cry raised about Tammany jobs
on such occasions Is ridiculous. 1t as
sumes that Tammany Ii always 10 hold
control Of the city government, and Just
at present that does not seem an indis-
putable proposition. II will be some
years before fat places" can be carved
out OF public parks just designed, and
II the city Is not by that time under
good. efficient. honest government,
whether Of Tammany or any other or
ganization. II will be Of very little use
to lay out parks or to plan any other
great public improvements.

THE PRINCESS OF TREBrzoNDn.'

the old onenbach operas are worthy Of
respect. 1t seems irreverent to tamper
with them. and the idea of making them

Organized Labor and Protection

To the Editor:
Certainly. Mr.. "Tuticorin.'' the man who makes
ten dollars can pay more than the man who makes
but one. Any schoolboy can tell you that. But
no capitalist will pay more for wages than he
can help. no matter how much he makes;
He would be foolish II he did. It would
be charity then. The more no makes, the more
the unions can demand: the less he makes. the
less they can get. The youngest student In politi-
cal economy knows that. and Just az long as cap
itai is a separate factor in production 20 long
must labor organize. Will free-traders please get
this through their heads? Protection does not
make wages. any more than a field OF corn gathers
itself. Organized labor does that. and protection
enables the employer to pay the higher demands
on him. Protection makes a good crop. free trade
a poor one. I look to good labor unions for the
betterment OF society. but their employers Interest
must be their interest. You cannot separate them.
Free trade Is only right when all the world has
the same standard OF life. but the higher standard
must be protected from the lower. or It will drag
1t down. J.. ..
