Unsatisfactory Fairgrounds.

"City streets are unsatisfactory play
grounds for children because of the danger,
because most good games against the
law, because they are too hot in summer,
and because in crowded sections of the city
they are apt to be schools of crime. Neither
do small back yards nor ornamental grass
plots meet the needs Of any but the very.
small children. Older children who would
play vigorous games must have places es-
pecially set aside for them; and, since play
is a fundamental need, Fairgrounds should
be provided for every child much as
schools. This means that they must be
distributed over the cities in such way as
to be within walking distance of every boy
and girl, most children cannot afford to
pay car fare. In view of these facts cities
should secure available spaces at once so
that they may not need to demoish blocks
of buildings in order to make Fairgrounds,
as New York has had to do at a cost Of
nearly 81 GOO, 900 an acre.
Neither must any city believe that SIM
ply to furnish open spaces will secure the
best results. There must be supervision Of
these Fairgrounds, otherwise the older and
stronger children occupy them to the eX-
clusion of the younger and weaker ones;
they are so noisy that people living in the
neighborhood are annoyed; they are apt to
get into the possession of gangs and be-
come the rendezvous of the most undeSira-
BILE elements of the population; the exercise
and play is less systematic and vigorous
when without supervision; and moreover
in all cities where the experiment had been
tried it has been found that such play
grounds are not well attended

the Senate. Seldom has there been q pro-
ceeding affecting the standing OF a. Senator
that has attracted such marked attention.
In the audience were representatives Of a.
number of prominent womans organizations
which have been active in circulating and
having presented petitions of remonstrance
against Mr.. Smoot. These organizations;
secured many thousands of signatures to
! their petitions, which were sent to the Sen
ate in deliberately bound volumes.
There have been numerous speeches made
for and against Senator Smoot since the
resolution to unseat him was reported from
the committee on privileges and elections,
Just prior to the adjournment of Congress
last year.
Throughout the entire speechmaking Sen
ator Smoot listened attentively, but when
the voting began he retired to the republi-
can cloak room and there awaited the
result. Four O'Clock arrived, when, by
ator Hopkins offered his amendment to the
committee resolution, and it was adopted.
Under this amendment two-thirds vote
would have been necessary to carry the res
olution, which declared that Mr.. Smoot Is
not entitled to his seat. Senator Carmack
then offered as a substitute for the amended
committee resolution simple resolution
declaring that Senator Smoot should be
I expelled" The effect Of this would be
to displace the COMMITTEES resolution. II
adopted, and it was defeated Then came
the vote on the COMMITTEES resolution az

STRIKE AT SNOW HAZARD.
Lasters Quit Work and Ask For
Raise of Wages on Certain Shoes.

The !aStCrS Of the SnoW-llaZZard
shoe factory are on Il strike for higher
wages on certain kind of shoe Which
they claim is a much harder Shoe to
work on There are two stories on the
matter, one un the side Of the en-
plryes ana tho other on the side of the
employers.
The employees story is as follows!
They quit Wuri, Monday noon and on
Tuesday they sent Il committee to Supt.
Hazard To lay their grievances before
him. Mr.. Hazard wouldn't listen to
them and they went away.
The story Of the employers is to the
effect that the laStcrs left the shop
without stating any reason for their
50 doing and on their return they We're
told to 90 to work by O'Clock or get
through. Il WAS believed by many that
the strike would greatly hurt the town
if the entire shop was forced to shut
down. as the Board of Trade still owe
considerable money on it. Mayor At
kins consulted the employees and asked
them 10 meet Nj. Hazard and himself
in his office at 2 o'clock yesterday
morning. but il was afterwards dis
covered that Mr.. Hazard had gone to
Boston and nothing was done about
tn" r%ttcr.
1t is hoped to have the matter adj
juStcd to the satisfaction Of all rs
soon as possible.
