FAIRGROUNDS.

The Civic Improvement League has met With sur
prisngly rapid with its Fairgrounds for chill
dren and the popularity of these free lettering
offers further encouragement for continuing the good
work. Almost without means and in many Instances
against protests and obstruction the League has nj
ready installed ten Fairgrounds, which weekly afford
pleasure to thousands of children in the central dis
trict, where recreation places are most needed.
Most of the credit belongs Dwight L. Davis and
his Fairgrounds Committee together they exer-
companies and associations who gave leased lands
for the grounds and donated money for the necessary
improvements. Praise must be withheld from the
Musicians Mutual Benefit Association, which has
volunteered to give free band concerts at the various
Fairgrounds throughout the city. The concerts not
only popularizc the movement, but draw children, TO
the grounds ana parents Many thousands of
adults and children have benefited by the concerts
already rendered.
The work the League has attracted the attention
and commentator of members of the Municipal AS
semby in such degree that the support of the city
may be obtained. Speaker Hughes of the House of
Delegates and Councilman Morton have expressed
opinions that the city should give financial assistance
in establishing and maintaining Fairgrounds.
ST Louis really needs many small parks and play
grounds, well free public bathhouses and the
city should endeavor to supply the want The Civic
Improvement League has shown the need and has set
a good example in practical work. The city should
accept the suggestion and, if it cannot yet. pur
chase ground for small parks and Fairgrounds. can
come TO the assistance OF the League. Next summer
there should be more Fairgrounds for children and
more free public lighthouses.

NEW CITY CHARTER.

Because few members of the House of Delegates
succeeded in burying the bill for special election TO
choose Charter Revision Commission it must not be
inferred that the people have given up the fight for
better Charter. The Charter needs to be improved,
and it will be improved; that achievement is only
question of time
Whether the House will be abolished is not the
principal issue. In fact, investigation may disclose
that it would be better to have dual legislative body
as house would then have check the other But
1t is not for the Council or the House to decide
whether there shall be only one legislative body or
two. That question may well be left to the decision of
the voters, who are certainly qualified TO Judge
In refusing to pass the Charter Commission bill the
House transcribed duty. In SO doing it refused to
allow the voters to state at the polls whether they de-
sired new Charter; it took the position that the
House is greater and wiser than the people and that
the people have right to hold Charter election.
The action of the House will not be forgotten.
Considerable time has elapsed since the bill failed

LIGHT BATTERY A.

Battery of ST. Louis, the only Missouri military
organization that got to foreign shores in time ac
tual war with Spain, is home from the encampment at
St Joseph with glowing reports OF achievement and
entertainment Captain Rumboid says that but for
the greennesS of the horses employed in handling the
batterys guns there would be unpleasant recollec
ton of the st. Joseph meeting.
No military organization in the State of Missouri
has ever surpassed the St. Louis battery in enthusi-
assn and preparedness Its members will drop the dis
cussion of private business at any time of day or
night to take up the affairs of the battery. When
came there wasn't man who yearned TO resign and
when the messenger of peace told Captain Rumbold to
turn his command homeward there wasn't an officer
or man who didn't feel genuine regret that the at
mosphere of Porto Rico would feel no more the jar
of the battery's smart field guns.
Out on Grand avenue there is building frowning
but altogether attractive armory One of these days
soon, let hopeit will he entirely ready for the
who have SO long stood by the organization
Right here it may be said to the everlasting credit
of Humboldt and his men that the luxuries have been
left to the last Instead of putting the first money into
cushioned quarters. the battery~s necessities have
ceived primary consideration When guns and men
and all equipment have been well housed there may
be money enough for coy corner two. that
the battery may shine bit socially in times of p;Dng
peace.

cidents of patients having died in ambulance or
upon being taken out of the ambulance. simply be-
cause the ambulance driver and policeman, who are
not expected to be dagnoscians, failed to realize the
seriousness of the cases.
The city would have to spend several thousands OF
dollars more annually. in order TO dispatch plysi-
clan on every urgent ambulance call But 1t is hardly
possible that any citizen of st. Louis would object
the expenditure. No doubt several lives would he
saved every year if the rule were made permanent.

INCIDENT OF PIE.

In the record of current activities comes news of
unearthing postal scandal in the Indian Territory
said TO involve company of Missourans, rea! or
spurious. These people. the story goes, secured
hundred more mail contracts in which there was
rake-off of about So per cent. y sensation in Wash
ington is predicted. Whether the administration Will
60 properly come after the rascas is quite
another matter. Credit. nevertheless, must be given
the promise that number of arrests will take place
II should prove interesting to observe whether the
scandal bears any relation to the local distributing
agencies OF Federal pie p:ums privileges and private
snaps This much may be said-Missour of late has
exhibited considerable intimacy with the admnistra-
tions postal affairs Almost anything can be accom-
plished by the right people in the way Of for in

cusations arranging for political candidates. and gen.

There is perhaps no State in the Union where n
Post-Ottice pull is worked to greater advantage and
TO greater extremes. In the free utilization of such
pull there are probably temptations to the dim
line which separates sort of politics from mere
graft, and the temptations must be doubly strong
