A Public Playground.

Dan AULbUlD fAWtN-s.
The municipality of Jersey
City has set apart tract of land
and made cash appropriation
for the establishment Of a public
playground for the children, who
it is said had hardly any other
place where they might gather for
general recreation than the pub
lie streets.
The playground is located on
unused portions Of the water
works reservation and is to be
provided with ball grounds, ten
mis- courts, swings, etc, and in
addition to the various sort of
paraphernalia at their command
the children will have the inesti-
mable pleasure of playing on the
grass without the hindrance Of
any warning signs to keep off.
A local paper says the divi-
dends in moral and physical
health which this playground will
pay annually to Jersey City will
exceed its cost many times, to say
nothing of the advantage of get
thug the children off the street,
which is not proper play
ground. Just how far the
Woman's Club has progressed in
its efforts for the setting apart
and equipment of public play
ground for the children of San
Antonio is not definitely known,
but the ladies seldom undertake
anything which they do not carry
through successfully in time, and
they certainly ought to succeed in
so laudable an undertaking as
that which is now engaging their
attention.
1t seems probable, however,
that whatever the Woman's Club
may do in the matter of public
playground must be mainly
through individual effort, through
individual effort, through private
contributions There has been q
suggestion for the purchase of
property we'll adapted to the pur.
poses contemplated and to leave
the payment to the children to be
benefited after they have grown
up. In other words, TO issue
bonds which do not mature until
the children of today have be-
come the taxpayers and the NOV
ing force in the conduct and sup
port of municipal affairs. In the
meantime interest on the bonds
would be paid by the parents,
guardians and friends of the
children, who would eventually
become the owners of the
property.
This, however, is not the
Woman's Club idea. The ladies
merely purpose the equipment
and conduct of play ground of
which they might be gwen the
use for a certain period, ground
that is not now being used for
any specific purpose that would
not be affected by their use of it.
Perhaps the plan may work out
satisfactorily after Il while,

New York World,
While it may be possible to
fool some of the people all the
time and all the people some of
the time, it is not likely that
many of them will be fooled all
the time or any of the time by
republican references to Judge
Parker as Il "Wall street" candi-
date or as trust" candidate.
Judge Parker's attitude toward
the trusts is defined very clearly in
decisions which the World has al
ready printed, In the case
against the Blue Stone Trust he
anticipated by seven years the de-
cision of Judge Thayer in the
Northern Securities case, which
was subsequently affirmed by the
United States Court.
In this decision Judge Parker
declared emphatically that it
made no difference whether the
trust aimed at something reason
able or unreasonable. "l'he law
assumes" he said, "that any at

sons who get together to fix prices

Another Railroad suggestion.


Editor Press. While resting at
Arson met Mr. NJ. j. Healy, the
promoter of the Red River a.
Southwestern railroad, a line
which is intended to cross very
fertile farming section and owned
by small farmers mostly in quar-
ter and half sections, and TO il
lustrate the question, Jones coun-
ty raised in round numbers 10, 200
bales of cotton last year, and here
at Arson, the county seat, with
out any railroad, there were pur-
chased from wagons 7 AGO bales
while at Stamford the terminus of
the Texas Central Railroad there
were shipped over $4,000 bales.
The road is projected to run
from Abilene 20 Henrietta, where
it has a connection with the M.
K. Il Il. Railroad which would
give it a through connection to
St. LOUIS and Kansas City, and
during my conversation with Mr..
Healy ] suggested that it would
do no harm to make San Angelo
the terminus instead Of Abilene.
The Orient people seem 80 in
different az to whether they come
to San Angelo, and they consider
it such favor, | hardly know
whether they care to come at all.
1t seems to me that their bonus
which has another year to run,
might, to greater advantage to
San Angeles interests, be turned
over to the Red River & South
western railroad, since it passes
through a far better section of
country, and would be consider
ably shorter to market. Mr..
Healy and Mr.. Bird, M. Robin
son, a New York banker, and Mr..
w. A. Wimbiss, state attorney
for the Western & Atlantic rail-
road of Georgia. and several 9TH
ers desire to go to towns already
established and let the people
themselves sell Their own lots. In
other words, they wish to connect
established towns. So it would
help San Angelo hold her terri
tory and in Coke and Runnels.-
/ have gwen Mr.. IIealy a letter
to Mayor Powell, giving list of
bonuses and concessions and you
will see that it will also be far
greater help to San Angelo than
the Orient, since it has 25O0 acres
of coal lands and that is u very
necessary item to our city when
coal is double the price that it is
in Dallas
! told Mr.. lIealy that | thought
he would receive some encourage
ment at San Angelo, unless some
unforeseen calamity should befall
us-such as prohibition-whlch !
trust will never he put to test,
since it would take wise man to
calculate what damage it could
cause. While in Colorado City |

For contempt Of court he was fined

crime.
Special Justice Phelps said he did
not recognize international law in his
court, and infored the defendant that
he must enter plea.
Mr.. Gerney persisted in his refusal.
Then fine was imposed for contempt
of court.
Mr.. Gerney did not have with him

Last Years Grades Reestablished.
New Plan for Smutty Wheat.
Tacoma, Sept. .26.-At the annual
meeting of the state grain commission
grades of last year were re-esta blished
without change. The greater portion
of the session was spent in discussing
the utility of adopting dockage sys-
tenn to govern the amount of dockage
in smutty and foul wehat and oats at
inspection points of the state.
The system is in vogue in many of
the wheat growing states of the East,
but for various reasons the commission
decided not to adopt it this year. The
strongest reason is method of dock
ing that the grain buyers of Eastern
Washington have independently adopt
ed since the new season opened. With
this every farmers wheat, whe', bro't
to market, is sampled and the amount
of smut and foulness determined by
sewing, the owner of the grain being
present to witness the work. This is
running along so satisfactorily, both
to farmers and to grain buyers, that
the commission determ med to allow
it to operate for year

What Organization of Second Army
Is Taken to Mean.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 20. The en-
peror is personally convinced that the
political as we'll as military prestige
of the empire is at stake, and that ev-
cry other consideration must give way
before the exigencies of war. The re-
sources of the empire in men and mon
ey must be drained, if necessary, in
order to turn the scale and vindicate
the power of Russia.
The creation of a new Manchurian
army amounts to formal notice to the
world, as the emperor frankly explains
in his rescript, that he intends to vast
ly increase the number of troops in the
theatre of war in order to force the
struggle to successful issue in the
shortest possible time. 1t is intended
to silence definitely all talk of foreign
Intervention by the announcement
that Russia means to fight out the is
sue with Japan on the field of battle.
Probably 100000 additional men
will be placed in the field. Eventually
che creation of this second army in
wolves the selection of commander in
chief. 1t is the best opinion that
Strand Duke Nicholas Michaelovitch
inspector general of cavalry, will at
tain to the high command, occupying
in the war with Japan the position
held by his father in the war with
Turkey.

Foreign Representatives Not Amen

Washington, Sept. 27.-Notice of
the action of special justice at Lee,
Mass, in filming Hugh Gerney, third
secretary of the British EN- bassy, was
received at the state department in
telegram from Mr.. Raikes, first secre-
tary of the mbassy, who is at Lenox.
The department Immediately trans.
mitted this telegram in substance to
the governor of Massachusetts, with
the request that he do whatever might
be necessary to secure the diplomatic
immunity of Mr.. Gerney.
1t is believed at the department that
the matter may be far more serious
than the lJcal officers at Lee seem to
regard it. In the first place, by con-
stitutional and statutory laws, the per-
sons attached to an embassy are ex-
pressly relieved from any legal re-
sponsibility, and the exemption even
extends to domestic servants. Section
1868 Revised Statutes, declares that
any writ prosecuted in any court of
the United States or of state, or by
any judge or justice, intended to cause
the arrest and imprisonment of any
public minister or his servant shall be
void. The succeeding section provides
that every person by whom any such
process is obtained or prosecuted,
whether as party or attorney, and ev
cry officer concerned In its execution
'shall be deemed a violator of the law
of nations and disturber of the public
repose, and shall be imprisoned for
not more than three years and fined at
the discretion of the COURT"
1t will remain for the governor of
Massachusetts to take initial action in
this case, which will reqsire prompt
redress
The last important precedent occurr-
ed in 1892 at the picnic resort of Bay
Ridge, near Baltimore, when DR..
George, an attache of the Swiss lega-
ton in Washington, was arrested by a
deputy sheriff on the charge of being a
pick pocket, and was scare he'd and 9TH
erwise treated in humiliating manner
by the local authorities. The state de-
partment secured his release at an early
moment, through the governor of
Maryland, who also caused the dis
missal of the offending deputy and ex-
tended an apology for the incident.
Though the Swiss minister might
have pressed further punishment he
accepted what had been done as suffi-
cient, but the matter was deemed of
such Importance that he could not
give this notice to our government un-
til the Swiss federal council had for
mally considered the case and express
ed itself satisfied.

~ Gives Notice to World of De-
termination to Fight to Victory.

Tokyo, Sept. 26.-An increasing
feeling of sobriety and seriousness
marks the popular attitude toward the
war. 1t is doubtful that the masses
appreciated in the beginning the seri-
business Of the task of expelling Russia
from Manchuria. They had an easy
confidence in the ability of the army
and navy to reduce the fortress of Port
Arthur, destroy the Russian fleet and
crush Gen. kuropatkin. The prolon.
CATION of the siege. the losses before
Port Arthur and Gen. Kuropatkins es-
cape at Liaoyang have brought gen.
eral appreciation of the magnitude of
the national task and dissipated the
growing hopes of an early peace, based
on the confinedce of sweeping victory.
Events at Port Arthur and Liaoyang
have impressively warned the japanese
to prepare for long and trying war.
Confidence in the final outcome how
ever, remains mistaken and the nation
has resolutely and determinedly settled
down, prepared to make sacrifices and
pay the price that success demands.
The strain of war and the drain up.
on the country's resources has not yet
been felt to any great extent among
the people. Some lines of business are
suffering, but the aggregate foreign
and domestic trade exceeds that of
1908. The crops, particularly rice,
are the largest ever grown Death from
wounds and sickness has overtaken
thousands of soldiers, but their vacant
places have been quickly filed
The supply of able bodied men anx-
ious to fight equals all possible de-
mands Munitions, supplies and money
in hand indicate the ability of the
country to wage war without embar-
rassment and vigorously for another
year. The completion during the win
ter of light railway between Antung
and Liaoyang will give the army three
lines of supply.
There is general confidence in the
ability of Marshal Oyama to drive
Gen. Kuropatkin into Hardin and to
successfully resist a reinvasion of Man
churia. The early possession of Port
Arthur is also confidently expected.
There is no gloom among the people.
They are simply sobered in the face of
the great unfinished task
