Roof Fairgrounds.

The UNDETERMINED Boston idea Of
roof Fairgrounds for the children of a
city taught Chicago nothing new. Ii
is an. idea that has been in vogue here
for years both with the residents of
high-priced apartments and low
priced tenements.
| In the Ghetto district entire families,
one might say entire communities, find
| the roof desirable breathing place.
To the roofs they carry their work AMI
| their pleasures. They use them as
sleeping places during the heated
months, and the wash women cleanse
and dry the clothes entrusted to them
in the same place.
One enterprising west side youth liv-
ing In fiat building filled with fair
sa.aried tenants has found it profitable
to provide summer garden on the top
OF the building. There he dispenses
soft cooling drinks every pleasant eve
ming. and utilizes photograph as q
means of attracting patronage.
The attendants at Hull House utilize
the roof and high, fenced-in balcony
as play ground for the 80 or more
babies left there each day by working
mothers.
Chicago does not disdain the use of
these breathing places, and they are
growing more and more in popular
favor.
WRIGHT A. PATTERSON,
Dogs Fool the Crocodiles.
When an Egyptian dog wishes to
drink at the Nile, he goes a short dis
lance up the river, and bowls for some
time. The crocodiles, being attract
ed by the sound, Immediately crowd to
the place, while the dog hastily runs
to the part which the crocodiles have
left and drinks in safety.

Rural Delivery Notes

Under the new law rural free deliv-
cry carriers will not be permitted to
act as agents for newspapers or any
other class of business, and all papers
destined for persons on routes must
bear the name of the perssn to whom
they are to be delivered, the carriers
not being otherwise permitted to de-
liver them. Favors for persons along
the routes may be done to u limited
extent and when not interfering with
the work Of the route, but the depart
ment will see that the law IL rigidly
enforced
Every rural mail carrier in the coun-
try who covers what is known as a full
route will now receive $50 a month, or
$720 year. Carriers who cover short
er routes will not get the maximum
salary.
Within five years the number of rural
free delivery routes has increased from
200 to about $4,000.

BRYAN LOSES THAT
BENNETT LEGACY
Connecticut Court Disallows Claim in
the Celebrated Will Case
Hinged on Letter.

New Haven. Conn, Aug. 15.-Will-
lam j. Bryan can have no part Of the
Philo S. Bennett estate. The supreme
court handed down a decision refus-
ing TO approve as a part Of Mr.. Ben
netts will letter TO his wife direct
ing her to pay $4,000 to the Nebras
kan, and holding that the doctrine Of
incorporation by reference has no le-
gal standing in this state.
The decree afiirms the finding OF
the lower courts and leaves no ground
for Mr.. Bryan to carry the case to a
higher tribunal The letter on which
the claim was based was written by
Mr.. Bennett May %, 1900, and di-
rected that Mr. Bryan be given the
sum of $4,000, which had been be-
queathed to her in trust in Mr. Ben
uetts will. The trust clause in the
will referred to this letter, but did not
mention specifically the purpose for
which the money was set aside.

Judqe Parker's Acceptance.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
The tamest and dullest speech of ac-
ceptance by candidate of great party
which has been delivered in generation
is that which comes to the country from
Esopus. From beginning to end the
whole affair of the notification was prosy
and perfunctory. Neither the notifers
nor the notified seem to have had heart
in the work. Congressman Clark of
Missouri, the head of the notification
committee, who usually says or does
something fantastic whenever opportun-
ity presents itself, and who often creates
the opportunity, was as decorous as if he
was at wake. 1t is hard TO tell from
me Judges address which side he is on.
He says the St. Louis platform is admir-
able" yet he found it necessary before
the convention adjourned to amend the
platform on the gold standard issue
The present tariff law he tells us, lis
unjust in its operation, excessive in
many OF its rates, and so framed in par
ticular instances as to exact inordinate
profits from the people, but he knows
so little about politics and the tariff that
he expresses a hope that if he and dem
ocratic house should be elected they
could agree among themselves and with
the republican senate on a measure OF
tariff revision which could be adopted
without disturbing any business inter
ests or alarming the country.
According to Judge Parker, present
laws are adequate for the control of the
trusts, but if he should be elected and
congress should decide that these laws
we're not enough. he would acquiesce.
He is as tolerant and good natured on
this tariff and trust issue as Greeley was
on the former question long ago, when
he stood on a platform that relegated
he whole matter to congress, without
any interference from the president one
way or the other lie is in favor Of Civ
ing the Filipinos selfgovernment as
soon as they can stand it, and appears to
be unaware of the fact that the republi-
cans are doing that thing right along
Self-government by the republicans
means self government under the United

States, the sort of home rule that Cana
ola has under the British government.
This may or may not be what the Judge
wants. lIe is delightfully."- vague on
everything that he touches. Big stand
ing armies he opposes, and so do the
republicans. He would "contine our in
ternational activities solely to matters in
which the rights of the country or of
our citizens are directly involved. This
is exactly what President Roosevelt has
been doing all along, and what he will
continue to do for the next four Years
1t is plain from the whole tenor Of the
address and the atmosphere of the oc-
casion that Judge Parker is under no H.
lusions about the canvass, whatever vain
things Clark Taggart, Hill and the rest
of the democratic bosses may be mag
ming The Judge will not be disappoint-
ed, and he will tell the country SO when,
ON the night of November 5, the news of
Roosevelt's election is flashed all over
the United States. He disarms rivalry
at the outset by saying that he wants
only one term, and that he will accept
no denomination. Does the Judge re.
member the letter of acceptance by his
friend Cleveland 20 years ago, in which
the candidate urged a constitutional
amendment d.squalfying president
from reelection? Cleveland, too, want
ed only single term, When he got
that he accepted second nomination,
and, beaten then, he took third candi-
dacy and second term. while a good
many of his democratic fellow citizens
believed short time ago, and some of
them believe still, that he would have
accepted fourth nomination if it had
been offered to him.

American WAGES.

TO insure our growth in civilization
and wealth, we muse not only have wages
as high as they are now, but constantly
and steadily increasing. Thomas B.
Reed in 1883.
"A cheap coat is very apt to cover a
cheap man. President Benjamin Har.
rson.
This remark of President Harrison
created a howl from the democratic
press at the time it was uttered, on the
ground that the president had offered
an insult to the man whose poverty and
perhaps misfortune forced him to wear
cheap coat. OF course Mr.. Harrison
never intended anything of the kind, and
the progress OF events has proved the
wisdom Of this, as well as many other
pithy sayings of the epigrammatic presi-
dent. When clothing is cheap Ia cheap
coat, wages are necessarily low and the
standard of living necessarily low. When
clothing and other commodities com.
mand a good price, wages are more than
correspondingly high, and the standard
of living of the wage Garner is raised.
President Harrlson's cheap coat
statement was exactly the same idea ex-
pressed by Mr.. Reed in different Ian
guage, that high wages are essential to
our acknowledgement IN civilization and
wealth. The history of the country dur
ing the Is years since Mr. Reeds utter
auce have justified his position fully
There have been three tariff laws since
that time: The Mckinley law, under
which wages advanced from 1890 to 1893
and the general prosperity of the country
was unprecedented: the Wilson law, I'M
der which wages fell to a lower average
than prevailed when the Mckinley tariff
was enacted and the most disastrous
business depression prevailed; the Ding
ley law, under which since 1897 wages
have advanced to much higher average
than ever prevailed under even the Nc
KiDley law, being at present more than
| 30 per cent higher than in 1894, and un-
der which national wealth has increased
more rapidly than ever before.
These statements are based on Stats
tics furnished by the bureau of labor
directed by Carroll d. Wright, an APP
pointee of President Cleveland, and can
not be said to be juggled figures for cam
paign use only. Every American knows
that the condition of the wage earners is
better than ever before, and it is as true
now as Is years ago that the present high
standard of wages must be maintained
to insure our national growth in civiliza-
ton and wealth.
The best standard for judging the fu-
ture is the history of the past. The re-
publican party, with its protective policy.
has brought high wages and prosperity.
The democratic party, with its free trade
has brought low wages and adversely.
There is not the slightest reason to be
lieve that history will fail to repeat it
self except that the voters are not like
ly to be foolish enough to allow the
democratic side of the picture to be
again unveiled for exhibition.
