Park improvements.

New York is complaining Of some
thing in it's park administration Of
which nearly all cities have reason to
complain, that is the lack Of organized
plan in the development Of parks. Min
neapolis has some reason to complain Of
the same thing. The park system Of
Minneapolis appears to have SO many
things to be done and to have ap-
preached fnality in SO few, that one
marvels how the administrative officers
can keep intelligent track Of the bust.
ness.
Instead Of having completed de-.
sign at any point in the city, we have
vast number of projects which are in a
vexed, If not chaotic condition. It
is only necessary to point to the boule-
ward system, to. the parks at Harriet,
Minnehaha and other points to get the
drift Of this criticism.
It is to be taken into account, Of
course, that the park system is new,
that it is in formative period. It is
about in the condition Of house which
is building. The material is on the
ground, part Of the building is up, and
the whole is unsightly but hopeful. Min
neapolis has been busy acquiring park
| lands. There has been neither time
nor funds to perfect parks in these
areas. ~
| But there is different time coming
The park certificates which were given
in payment for lands acquired, have
been paid off. The load Of interest has
been removed from the shoulders Of the
board. Now the time is come wher
the people expect to realize something
from their investment. The future pol
icy Of the city should be to give the
park board fair, even liberal appro
priation for improvements, and the pol
icy of the board should be to make i'm
tprovements, not in a desultory manner
but taking up different parks. accom-
plish something tangible in each, before
dropping the work and moving on tt
some other locality. Of course al
parks could not be served at once.
This is what the board has tried to d,
and failed in. It should map out
policy of improvements and develop it
trusting to time to justify it.

Why Not a Harvest-Field Yell?

What this country needs just now is
harvest field yell. Everybody knows
how the strains of martial music arouse
in the breast Of the soldier, how the
blast Of the trumpet or the shrill
scream Of the fife has saved the day
at many an important crisis. In the
contests of the gridiron the shouts Of
the rooter are by no means unimportant
factors in the result. Why not employ
this principle for what it is worth in the
harvest. fields Why not expect from it
the same results that follow under other
conditions? In fact, some of the south
western farmers seem to have caught
on to this idea already, for it is said
that the Vanderbilt university students
who have been earning pin money at
binding wheat in Kansas were taught a
yell that runs like this:
"Wahoo! Hullabaloo!
Muscle and meat! Tell with the
Show. us the wheat! the wheat!! the
wheat -
How the straw would fly under the
inspiration of a yell like that as the
binders came down the field! We shall
expect this suggestion to be adopted
very generally by the farmers Of the
northwest and some day someone will
make collection Of harvest-field yells
under which the sweating farm boy was
spurred to his best endeavor, just like
a hero of the gridiron.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK

To the Editor of The Journal.

To the Editor of The Journal
Last night about o'clock a large auto
mobile with a small one hitched to the
rear came bowling along near Crystal
lake. Just previous to this a horse hitched
to light buggy had smashed the buggy
into splinters and was tearing for home.
One of the occupants of the buggy started
after the horse, when the auto with the
little cripple in tow came along. He
chased after the auto and got into the
crippled machine and explained to the
man in 1t that his horse had run away
and as they were going in the same d.
rection as the horse he thought he would
be able to overtake him. He was told
to get out. Now, would like to have this
gentleman In the crippled auto explain
how he would have got home If 1t had not
been for the good Samaritan that let him
hitch on behind?

The White Earth Timber Sale.

7 The postponement Of the White Earth
timber sale to Oct. 2 is the result of
publicity given to what looks very
much like crooked deal. This post
ponement, however, will afford no re-
lief to the Indian. Oct. 2 is only four
weeks later than Sept. s, and four
weeks is not time enough in which to
make an examination of the timber and
prepare an intelligent bid.
Nobody questions Mr.. Leupp's in
tegrity in this matter, or in any other,
but evidently he does not understand
the situation. If he allows the sale to
go thru on Oct. 2, he will play into the
hands of. men who cannot be expected
to give proper consideration to the In
dams rights in this matter. +.
The regulations are at fault in va
rious particulars. Tie privilege of
erecting but one mill with which to
| saw this timber gives the owner of that
mill a practical monopoly Of the whole
business, and with but one prospective
purchaser to sell to, the Indian does not
have a fair chance. 1t is true, as Mr.
Leupp says, that the Indian is not
obliged to sell, but we think Mr.. LeupI
knows the Indian well enough to know
that he will sell if there is anybody tc
buy. -
E The probabilities are that the sale
will not take place on the I'd of Octo
Der. To force it thru under present con
ditions would create scandal. Mr.
Leupp will know more about the .situa
tion before the time for this sale takes
place, and will appreciate more clearly
than he does now, the necessity Of al
lowing at least four months for a care

Marinette, Wis, Aug. 25.-Five girls
and two young men left Lakeside for
sail early last evening and were caught
in a squall and blown to Green island,
sails and masts being blown away. For
seven hours the frail boat was at the
mercy Of the waves and each moment
was expected to capsize.
Members Of the party in turn prayed
and wept until one girl began singing
to keep up the courage of the others.
At this morning the boat was blown
near Wildwood, six miles from the city,
and all waded waist-deep ashore and
found relief at summer cottage.
