FOR THE

At last the discussion and planning of
years is to take visible and concrete
: form when fifteen swings, each capable
of holding four children, will be placed
in Benton Park. This is the first result
Of the efforts of the Turner societies to
have public Fairgrounds for the chill
dren. !
Up to this time the entire expense of
providing the swings has been borne by
the Turner'S. As sOon as more funds are
raised swings will be placed in Hyde.
Carr, Lyon and Laclede parks and Jack
son place. Other simple equipments will
be added, the final purpose being to EN-
ploy instructors to look after the play of
the children.
Such a simple and deserving charity
should be assisted. By taking initiative
in the matter, the Turner'S have earned
the gratitude Of the community. There
is no reason why the Turner's should
bear all Of the expense. Every st. Louis
organization which has for its aim the
public betterment should contribute to
the fund SO that the summer may not
pass without all the plans being full
filled.

HAS A FREE HAND.

There is, of course, nc necessity for
the President to call an extra session of
Congress for the purpose Of passing
laws further providing for the tariff
taxation and government Of the Philip
pines. inasmuch as no crisis hostile to
the administrations established policy
has been developed.
The recent decision Of the Federal Su-
preme Court in the Porto Rican cases
gives the administration a free hand In
the management of the Philippine prob
lem.
There is, indeed. no problem now ex-
listing. Congress and the President. ac-
cording to the Supreme Courts ruling,
may do as they please with our posses
stons in the Far East. Those posses
sions are colonial dependencies, their
people an inferior and subject people
the Supreme Court rules that the Con
stitution does not prevail { o guarantee
our new "citizens" in any rights before
the law.
For these reasong, therefore, the ad.
m~inistration naturally refuses T. see any
necessity for an extra session Of Con.
gress. 1t has the sanction of the Fed.
eral Supreme Court for whatever dis.
elimination It may make against the
Filipinos. 1t is not the administration,
but the mass of Americans, who wish for
new legislation-for the submission OF
an amendment to the Constitution.

HURRY UP.

Directors of the elevated railroad com
pany in Boston are In n quandary over
statistics which they have gathered rel
alive to the "quick-stepping" OF their
patrons. The officials have almost de-
cided that rapid transit in the Hub will
be a practical impossibility until a Won
derful change is wrought,
According TO reports from that city the
people are so slow in getting on the cars
elevated railroad. For n while the direc-
tors of the road could not discover the
trouble. Receipts and custom fell on.
1t seemed impossible to make fast time
Oh the road.
SO they Investigated. They gathered
figures relative TO the time taken by
New Workers and Chicagoans to get on
the cars. In New York the officials
found that 4 man or woman takes Just
fifteen seconds TO board a train, the
gates being opened and shut in the
meantime. ChicagOans are much slower,
taking anywhere from twenty to TWEEN
ty-five seconds.
1uiuSS utt uiitttut III DOStOu. a dug
ton man will ordinarily occupy one min
ute to start and get aboard a car, from
the time when the gates are opened. A
Boston woman il eve slower. requiring
one minute and three-fifths. As a result,
the Boston elevated trains are required
to stop three minutes mt stations. As
every second in the operation of n rapid
transit train counts, the railroad cor
poration is staring hard times in the
face.
While there may be n certain humor
I'm the situation to outsiders, the stock
holders of the company see nothing but
a serious cash proposition. Various
remedies have been proposed. Ways
have suggested injections of strychnia
with each ticket.
But is there a deeper meaning t o this
slowness of Bostonese? Have the YAM
KEGS lost their Old-time alertness? Is It
possible that age has tempered their
energy, making them mindful Of their
dignity rather than Of the value Of time:
The railroad directors confess their in
ability to answer the questions.

TWELVE YEARS AGO.

As n stone placed early in the founda-
ton Of sentiment upon which the deter
mination to hold n Louisiana Purchase
Exposition was gradually constructed,
the editorial Of The Republic, May. L..
1889. is so we'll worth attention that
The Republic does not apologize for a
republication on this page to-day.
There will never be n decision as to
when or where the suggestion OF a
Louisiana Purchase Centennial first APP
peared. The Republic does not claim
that the editorial of 1889 antedated all
other conceptions. A celebration Of an
event OF such immense historical i'm
portance to the West would naturally
occur to many persons. The Republic
does not, however, at present know that
any presentation of the thought was
made prior to the editorial.
No matter where the celebration was
first advocated or who was the prophet.
All the people Of the West across the
Mississippi have been favOrably familiar
with the idea for a long time. There
has been no argument, since all along
the unanimous opinion has been that the
end of the Louisiana Purchase century
should he appropriately celebrated. And
all are glad that the celebration Is to
be the grandest Of all ~centennials m
the most attractive Of all expOsitions.

hours OF the day. Finally one IN the know
could tell what hour Il was by just iookihs
out at Clarence going up the avenue or
Percy coming down.
So many complete charges were necessary
now In the attempts to Guido each other
that Percy gained n temporary advartase
by hiring apartments every block or two on
the avenue. lie then would walk an hour or
so In one toilet and then slip into his near
est apartments and change to another COM
plete and wholly different costume.
Clarence MarmOsett gained slightly by
having an umbrella and n cane with re-
movable handles. And for awhile. 30 skill
fully did he change the handles, which he
carried in his frock coat tail pockets. that
It seemed as IL he had a new cane or UNI
brella for every block. But Percy's relay
system Of apartments placed Clarence at
n disadvantage. which even the rumor that
he wore n diamond ring on his great toe
could not overcome. Yes.
And then Clarence hit upon n scheme. He
had a cab arrange as a dressing-room In
this his different toilets. arranged in racks.
were placed. The cab logged along abreast
of Clarence az he strolled down the avenue.
At n signal from him II would draw UP TO
the curb. into It Clarence would spring. and
then In n few moments he would emerge in
a totally different costume.

WORLDS FAIR EXHIBITS.

There Is n great deal Of encouragement
10 Worlds Fair workers in the manifest
determination Of the Federal Govern
ment 10 make n national exhibit which
shall surpass all previous achievement
in this direction and he entirely worthy
of an international exposition which is
intended 10 break all records for COM
pleteness and beauty.
1t Is natural, also. that the Govern
ment should cherish such a dctcrmina-
ton. The Louisiana Purchase EXPOSE
ton will be the first Worlds Fair held in
the Twentieth Century. 1t will neces-
sarily he taken as a historical landmark
showing the stage of progress attained
by the world at the beginning of n new
era. Its exhibits will possess a peculiar
value owing to this fact. The nations
invited TO participate will naturally put
forth their best endeavOr to make a COM
~prehensive and thoroughly typical ex-
hibit of their arts, sciences and indus
tries. They will as naturally look 10 the
United States for a surprising display
Of American attainment.
The activity already being manifested
by the Government in the line Of pre-
liminary preparation for its st. Louis
Worlds Fair exhibit furnishes gratify-
ing proof that there will be no disap-
pointment regarding the ~wOrthlness Of
the national exhibit. 1t Is nov in order
for the various States Of the Union to
emulate this spirit. There should he no
State exhibit ut st. Louis in 1903 which
does not fully and completely set forth
the claims Of its State to the worlds
attention. The opportunity presented
by the first Worlds Fair Of the Tween
tieth Century is epochal. The State
which fails to profit thereby will find
itself wOfully handicapped in the near
future owing to Its own refusal to seize
an advantage such as will not occur
again for ut least a generation Of time.
