advocates OF municipal Fairgrounds
are making very effective use of a
letter from President Roosevelt which
was read at a recent banquet given
by the Fairgrounds Association of this
city.
President Roosevelt's letter laid
stress on the annual meeting of the
Playground Association of America in
Chicago in .une. He praised the
South Park system of that city as
the most notable civic achievement
in the United States.
1.-THE President advised all cities to
make provision at once for play
grounds, lest suitable sites be obtain
ed only at immense cost. AS an ex.
ample of hindsight he pointed to New
York, where Fairgrounds recently cost
$1,000.00O an acre.
"Close supervision of Fairgrounds
was urged by the President, for, he
said, otherwise they fall into disfavor
and the hands of rowdies."

rAffY FOR TELEPHONE GIRL.

When you are inclined to speak
harshly to the telephone girl because
she can't answer twenty calls at once
and always give you the first chance,
just remember the following toast
given her by an Illinois man:
"Here's to the telephone girl-an
employee who does the most work and
suffers the most abuse for the money
she receives; who does the most favors
that are unappreciated by those upon
whom they are conferred. who knows
more about men and women than the
officer Of the federation Of clubs; more
about the manners OF children than
the teacher does, and who can tell
where every gentleman and lady lives.
She Is seen 10 all lands and climes,
and speaks all tongues. God bless
her."

the public II the article In question
was not couched IN respectful lam

Could 1t be considered an attack?
Did the article contain single word
that would indicate malice-was the
article maliciousp Mr.. Edwards says
the article was misleading" because
II credited him with remarks he says
he did not make. The Republican
can only say that democratic coun-
Gilman quoted him as saying the words
we placed In his mouth. The Repub-
lican desires II understood that 1t has
not attacked" Mr.. Edwards either
"maliciously" or otherwise, nor do we
believe we have misrepresented him.
We did present an argument against
his election as mayor, an argument
thoroughly respectful and consIderate.
