SENATOR PLATT.

a I THE ripe age of "a, Senator Platt, Of New
York declares that he finds much in life to
live for. He is not croaker and is still full of
plans for his work as senator. Resign from the
high office he holds? Not bit of it for Platt
He and Senator Depew have weathered the storm
of criticism for their alleged misrepresentation of
their State in New York. Depew has so far
emerged from the darkness that his opinions on
men and things are again being cabled from
abroad Both Depew and Platt hope their inn
mediate past will soon become only memory.
The rude story that Platt would be tired of life
at seventy-fve, the senator denies. And why
should he be weary at seventy-hve when some Of
his colleagues in the Senate are considerably be-
yond that age?
Admire Governor Hughes? No, not Patt.
Hughes is not the type of man that strikes the
fancy Of the easy boss" Platt will hold on to
life and power so long as the breath is in his
body Platt may be satisfied with himself. But
with the change in public sentiment due largely
to Roosevetism, the boss of the type of Patt is
passing away and the United States senator Of
the Platt stamp should also be relegated to the
rubbish heap. Platt is typical boss-that is
when he had full swing in New York He is a
guardian agent of the express company and one
of his principal duties has been to see that the
government did not poach upon the preserves Of
the express trust That is about all that has ever
been recorded to Platt If he has ever done any
thing to make the country wiser or better the
records do not show il.

PLAYGROUND FOR CHILDREN.

A LREADY the movement for civic improve
\ ment is reaping harvest A new play
ground is secured for the children of the rapidly
growing Ninth ward district. And citizen of
another State, but property owner here, is do
mating the use of his land for the playground
How quick was the response Of Mr.. William f.
Nye, of New Bedford, Mass, to the request that
his unoccupied ground be converted into play
field There were no restrictions, either, no de-
mand for pay. He told the committee that they
were welcome to the ground as long as they
wanted it.
The children of the ward who will enjoy this
breathing spot are under obligations to Mr.. Nye,
who has given an example that others might fol-
low The ground is to be beauthed under the
direction OF committees of the Civic Improve
ment Committee Of the Board Of Trade and the
subcommittee Of the New-Century Club, The
starting of Fairgrounds is practical step in the
right direction. During the long, hot summer
weather hundreds of children are unable to enjoy
the advantages Of vacations to distant points, and
the next best thing is to provide them with out
ing spots near home, where they can pass the
happy days Of childhood without undue restraint.
They will become better and brighter for it, more
fitted for the stern duties OF life that will come
too soon to them

istration without furnishing basis for charges
against him.
The presiding judge who sentenced the man
declared warmly you will suffer the humilia-
ton Of knowing, say, that your career Of hy-
pocrisy duplicity and dishonor has been exposed
and you stand before those who believed in you
and honored you morally, naked, shamed and dis
graced' This was strong arraignment and
judges do not usually so out of their way to con-
denim man with words unless there is ample
provocation for such condemnation.
The fate of Schmitz should be lesson to those
public officials who look upon their positions as
opportunities to enrich their own purses. Graft
ers may escape punishment as they do in Penn
sylvania, but they never can feel sure that fate
similar to that of the disgraced San Francisco
mayor may not overtake them.
Schmitz has worked double wrong. He has
made subject Of criticism those whom he was
supposed to represent, and for whom he posed as
a friend of the people They should be the loud
est in their condemnation of him.

PRISON CELL FOR A CRATER.

II I'VE years in prison for Schmtz the dis

crowd, the same people that had applauded this
disgraced chief magistrate of the California city
when he was in the zenith Of his power applaud
ed when the stern Judge imposed the sentence
that will land Schmitz behind the prison bars
that is provided legal technicalities do not pre-
serve his liberty.
Schmitz has no one to blame but himself for
his downfall He was the idol of the masses of
San Francisco. He was elected largely through
fhe vote Of what is called the labor interests. He
had a splendid opportunity to reflect both credit
upon himself and those who elected him. But
he did not measure up to the opportunities or the
responsibilities. He became petty CRATER; be-
trayed the trust reposed in him. The only de-
fence of Schmitz that we have ever noticed is
that he has been the victim of coterie of un-
scrupulous rich men who, under the guise of re-
form, sought the downfall of the Reuf and
Schmitz regime in order that they might secure
valuable franchises and privileges from city
Rovernment that they might control. knowing

LIVELY DEMAND
FOR READING
Slight Falling Off in CirCuIa-
tiOR at Library So Far
This Summer

Never before has the appreciation Of
the Institute Free Library by the peo-
pie of Wilmington been so plainly
shown as during the present summer.
1t has been noticed in previous years
that the number OF books borrowed
from the library has been much less
during the summer months than dur
ing the winter months. This difference
of circulation has been due, of course,
10 the fact that many people leave the
city during the summer. and to the
opening of summer resorts near the
city which attract people and which
keep them out-of-d doors.
During the present summer months,
however. the falling off of the circula-
tion of the library has been very slight
compared with that of previous years.
The circulation for the months Of
April, May and June was the highest
circulation for any Of those months
since the library was made free in 1898,
So great has been the demand for
books that the assistants at the library
are badly over worked. Vacations are,
of course, given each assistant and
the small number Of assistants on duty
combined with the steady demand Of
readers for books has combined to
make the assistants at the library wish
for cooler weather.
Summer Resort Literature.
The collection Of folders, time tables,
and descriptive matter relating to rail-
roads and summer resorts is attracting
much attention among those who are
thinking Of leaving the city for a few
days or weeks during the summer.
Many residents of the city have come
to the library and planned their sum
mer vacation by the aid of this ma
terial. The library almost daily re-
ceives new and interesting matter. This
is at once placed on exhibition and in
most cases duplicate copies can be
given TO those who wish for them.

MR.. FAIRBANKS, HERO.

E-PRESIDENT FAIRBANKS is keep
ing in the public eye. The cocktail cpl
sode is not to tarnish his reputation With the
buttermilk vote secure, the Vice-President now
has a splendid chance Of securing the hero vote.
For the Vice-President has developed into hero
and may win a Carnegie medal The Vice-Presi-
dent was sitting on the piazza of a hotel in Vel
lowstone Park, way out in Wyoming. The cock
tail furry, however, did not drive him to Yellow
stone Lake. AS he was sitting along the lake
shore there was a shrek from the lake, and the
Nice-President saw young woman houndering
in the water The woman was sinking for the
third time when the Vice-President jumped into
the lake and rescued her. She proved to be wait

Special to The Evening journal.

NEW CASTLE, Del. July io.-Just at
the present time when there are bright
prospects Of boom on account Of the
new steel plants more good news is
heard. Several months ago The Evening
Journal published statement that the
Triton Cotton Mills would soon become a
busy hive OF industry Those persons in
New Castle who are interested in the
mills refused 10 talk concerning their fu-
ture. But yesterday when four carloads
Of material were received for the Chester
Enameling Company appearances began
to brighten.
A few weeks ago some of the old ma
chinery in the mills was sold 10 junk
dealer and now new and modern machin-
cry will be installed. When the New York
business men obtained a charter last
spring the news was given out that the
cotton mills would hereafter be known
as silk mills and that many high class op-
orators would be brought to New Castle
to run the mills. Four girls from this city
were engaged to go to New York TO learn
the business. Those here who are inter
ested IN the mills will not discuss their
future. Beyond acknowledging the bold
fact that the four carloads of machinery
are here they will not say anything be-
yond that the time Is not ripe 10 talk but
that bright prospects are ahead for the
mills

POLICY HOLDERS AS CREDITORS.

HAT policy holders have rights against the
4 life insurance companies even under CON
tract, is shown by the decision of recent case in
Massachusetts. A policy holder of one of the
large companies dissatisfied with the dividends
that had accrued on his policy demanded just
proportion of the profits and surplus of the COM
pany to which his premiums entitled him. He
Instituted suit but the company asserted that
being New York corporations the suit must be
brought in New York. Had this contention been
upheld policy holders in other States could sue
only at the home office OF the company. The
highest court in Massachusetts held however
that policy Holder is a creditor OF an insurance
company, the company is his debtor and it is the
duty of the State Of Massachusetts 10 enforce the
payment Of just debts by solvent creditors. The
result Of this decision is that any policy holder
has the right to demand and secure an accounting
from the company. If the same Interpretation Of
the law holds good in other States, the insurance
companies will be compelled to live up to their
promises Of incomes from endowment policies
under penalty Of being subjected to suits to show
cause why the dividends fail to come up to pre-
dictions and expectations.

Fire again visited the Industrial Home
OF the Salvation Army yesterday after

might have resulted seriously. After the
Third street home of the army was de-

quarters were obtained at No. SOB Wal
nut street and this is where the fire of
yesterday occurred.
