A PARK PROBLEM
Is It More Parks or a Popularizing
of the Parks That Is
Needed?
Views of President Eliot of Harvard,
DR.. w. w. Folwell and John
S. Bradstreet.

President Eliot of Harvard university
in an address at a. recent meeting of those
prominently interested In parks through
out the country defended the position that
the crying need in relation to- parks was
not that of more parks but that of popu-
larizing the parks, that OF getting the
people to use them raore largely by offer
ing greater attraetiopsf and more induce.
ments to- get the people to. spend their
leisure Out-Of-dOOrs.ac.. 10 t"'','," r.s
This view is not upheld as applicable to
conditions In Minneapolis by some Of those
most vitality interested in the Minneapolis
park system. The needs here they say
are different. $780,. -r,. .....''
"Of more Importance than -refreShment
pavilions for the parks is the necessity Of
a park itself, a park Of $40, or better still
of 1000 acres" said Dr.: w. w. Folwell to-
day. 'Three quarters of a million Of dol
lars have been spent since the establish
ment Of the first, park, in Minneapolis
about twenty five years ago." continued
the president of the board of park COM
missioners, land yet. the city can't boast
Of park worthy Of the name. What we
need is a large park away out of the city,
with great spaces, woods, and play
grounds, a park where people can get
directly into touch with nature. While I
am not opposed to the plan Of President
Eliot of Harvard advocating the increase
of pavilions and restaurants in American
parks, neither do I approve it. If the
parks are to be used by the people as eat
ing and drinking resorts, If the features
Of the city are the features most desired.
then the people might just as we'll stay
at home. for those things they can have
at home. And to say, the least, such a
conception Of the use of the park is not
the ideal one." IL
The Pavilion Question:.
"The question Of the establishment OF
| more pavilions will probably come up al
the next meeting Of the board" said John
| s. Bradstreet one of the park commits
sioners. MY own opinion is that while
| ton, free music, is "a very much better
one. In that respect Como park in St
| Paul has the acknowledgement Lake Harriet
For while In our chief park only the people
with the price can hear the music, from g
comfortable seat, out at Como the pa.
vilion is open,. seats are scattered arounc
everywhere and there is no admission fee
AS regards the restaurant proper, so man,
of our parks are merely boulevards thai
think the restaurants, if they We're es.
tablished, would not be patronized; for or
this side of the water people don't enjoy
| dining so near other peoples doorsteps
Furthermore the great body of the public
have their dinner before starting for thu
parks
For my part continued Mr.. Brad
street, II think our boulevard system q
parks one Of the most attractive AMI
unique of any in the northwest And 70
the present. at least, don't see the ne
cessity Of a larger or finer park than tina
at Lake Harriet"

Fields.

Stockholders.
Ne.o York Su,, Special Servtoe

Bar Harbor, Me-, Sept. 2.-Abram S.
Hewitt, whose recent statements regard
ing the situation of the strikers in the
anthracite coal fields has opened up wide
discussion, was asked to-day to reply to
the statements made by President Mitch
ell and other prominent synpa thizers with
the miners cause. When asked as to
the surplusege Of labor in the coal fields
and the limited hours of work he said:
There Is more than sufficient labor in
the coal fields at the present time and the
union is itself responsible in a measure for
the limited amount Of work and resultant
pay accorded each miner. For the men
being made members of the organization
it becomes necessary to so subdivide the
work among them that each man is en-
ployed shorter number of hours with a
consequent deduction Of wage earnings.
The union seeks to have each man paid
the same wages for this shortened time
as was paid when the supply of labor was
less and the time Of employment longer.
The men then were paid sufficiently high
wages to maintain a standard of living
that was satisfactory as is witnessed in
the case Of many Of the mines notably
the Lehigh Coal & Navigation company. 1t
was because Of this satisfactory standard
of living wages, that the excess labor was
attracted to the coal felds.''
Speaking Of President Mitchell's state
cal significance, MIR. Hewitt merely citec

There is no part of the drug business

J. Literally speaking, of course the Russian
serf has been set free, but although he is
no longer krepostnoy, or bondsman, to the
country gentleman, he is still adscriptus gle
Doe. For the country gentleman has been
substituted the land, the power Of which is
expressed in the mir or village commune
which, by the way, is not elective as
sembly, but e patriarchal council composed
of the heads OF families village is COM
posed of courts, dvorui; as members of
families grow up, the sons who marry and
have children can apply for a separate dvor
to the mir, and if their application is granted
they will receive an allotment and a plot of
land, whereon to erect their own cottage or
hut, which will constitute new dvor. They
then become members of the mir. When
member Of the mir. dies, his widow becomes
the head Of the family, and in Russian village
communities the principle Of woman suffrage
is thus recognized.
While the peasant remains on the land he
has no separate economic existence and needs

leave his village and seek his fortune else

port is given him by the mir He must
therefore have the permission Of the mir
before he can leave his village, and this
| permission must be renewed annually so long
as he continues to be a peasant-and 1t Is
| not easy for him to alter his official social
status. This is survival or 5serfdom. In
the days of serfdom it was possible for the
country gentleman to put all his serfs, or
individual serfs only. as the case might be,

under obrok was freed from personal service,
but in lieu of this a sort Of tax was SUBJ
1 stituted. Peasants were allowed to go to
towns and follow trades, but for this permits
sion they had to pay tribute in money or
kind to their masters. The master could
cancel his permission at the end Of every

system has been perpetuated in the mir.

HEADACHES FROM EYE TROUBLES
Detroit NewS-TrihIIne


AS to headaches DR.. S. Weir Mitchell for
mulates the following conclusions: There are
many headaches which are due directly to
disorders of the retroactive or accommodative
apparatus of the eyes. In some instances
the brain symptom is often the sole prominent
symptom of the eye troubles, SO that while
there may me no pain or sense Of fatigue in
the eye the strain with which it is used may
be interpreted solely by occipital or frontal
headache. The long continuance of eye
troubles may be the unsupported source OF
insomnia, vertigo, nausea and general failure
OF health. S.. ~.
