nor to the ehild's parents, but to the city
itself. Trolley cars must travel fast
| through the streets. 1t is a public need
that they should do SO. They have be-
come an Indispensable element of life. On
the other hand children must play, they
must nave air. and in the crowded sec
tions of our cities there is NO place but
on the street.
1.-THE News some time ago, drew pnb-
lie attention to the interesting experiment
being tried in Philadelphia OF opening pub
lie play grounds for children in connection
with the schools. Superintendent Snyder
of the Board Of Education, took the idea
up With the warm appreciation which
might be expected from SO thoughtful and
public spirited a sehool officer. He ex-
pressed the conviction that every school
should have about It a sufficient space for
light and air, and he thought it would be
an excellent idea to utilize such space,
outside of school hours, to keep children
away from the dangers of the streets.
49,!
Whenever the new School No. / may
happen to be built. IT will be a public
crime If this is neglected. The condition
of the lower part of Jersey City already
leaves the children no refuge. 1t is bound
to become worse and worse every year
as population Increases. The trolley
traffic. at the same time, is bound to in
crease. Real estate. too, will go up in price
so that the Economical taxpayers OBJ
lection TO buying land for playground pur-
poses will be increased. The present time
Is the time to do something about it. No
school should be built without a large
enough yard for fifty per cent. of the
children attending it to play in, and then
the yard should be kept open from eight
o'clock every morning in the year until
nightfall.
Until Something like this is done, ac-
cidents like that of yesterday will keep
on happening with more or less frequency,
and the public may as well accustom
themselves TO regard them as mere in
cidents of daily life.n

TIE Street and Water Board CONTEXT
The Importance of the Aldermanic com
test this year has in a way tended to re-
verse the order of apparent Importance
in the candidates on the city ticket,
More prominence has been given to the
Aldarfnanic struggle than to that for
the Street and Water Board. and more
has been aid about the candidates for
the former offices than about the heads
of the ticket.
This does not indicate any lukewarm-
ness on the part of the public in regard
TO the Street and Water Board fight.
We believe there is a strong determine
ton on the part of Democrats, backed
secure a change in the personnel of the
Board. We are convinced tina a large
number of Republicans. actuated by
various motives, viii also support the
Democratic ticket.
II the shamefuliy partisan law under
which the, present Board exists had made
any provision for minority representa-
tion, it is certain that at least two
Democrats you'd nave been chosen to

to uniparfisan boards. It is contrary to
all public policy to create them. They
of necessity tend to bad methods. Ring
rule n jebbery must be the result,
when there is no opposition element to
check the action of those in control.
One reason why public confidence has
been shaken in the present body is that
it is a "e.ose corporation Everything
Is agreed to privately, within the party,
as It were, and when public meetings
are held there IS an eternal unanimity
with five votes, without discussion or
debate. criticism or explanation.
The election of Messrs. Heintze and
HOLLYWOOD win change all that. 1t is true
the Board will remain in Republican
control. This cannot be helped for the
present. But they will put a stop to
caucus Infringement by insisting upor
threshing gu every public question in

Rfcess "1492,s AT the Academy Next
Week With an Excellent Cast.

Spectacular performances Of a refined or
der have always been popular in Jersey City,
and the announcement that Riee's .l4g2a will
be the card at the Academy of Music next
week will be heartily welcomed by all adj
mirers OF purlesque art. Since the palmy
days OF Evangeline9 Mr.. Rice has had nc
equal as q producer of extravaganzas. Sue
cess after success has crowned his efforts. due
no debut tC his wonderful tact and ingenuity
as an organizer in this line of stage craft. To-
day his very name IS synonymous with beauti-
fuI stage settings, gorgeous costumes and pref
~ girls, and In none of his productions have
these distinctive features existed to a greater
degree than in 'l4s2.
This travesty, with its large and merry
coterie of artists. is by no means new to
theatre-goers of this city. as it has been seen
here several times. but for the coming en-
gaeemeal 1t is said to be greatly revised,
newly apparalled and otherwise beautiied to
a. great extent. We have hal new features
every time the shows have been presented
here, so it is safe to assume that there will
ne many novel features in this one. The
continued success Of this historical satire is
due no doubt to the fact that il always seems
10 be bright. new and up to date in every
possible manner. Each season Mr.. Rice has
left nothing undone to add a new lustre to
It's many gems, aside from restocking it
with new ones.
In the matter of cast, the present aggre-
cation will contain many new faces, but it
must not be taken for granted that it con-
tains any less talent than the former organi-
zation winch have presented the traxe4ty here,
as Manager Rice is not the one to lower in
any way the excellent standard he has SO
long established for competent artists. Mr..
Mark Smith will be the Daisy Queen of Spain,
as before, and his exquisite '.make-up's and
portrayal of the role will be well to reuem
Der. The principal roles are in the hands
OF Miss Flora Finlayson, Carrie Behr, Charles
Seagraye, Raymond Stephens. Marie Hilton.
