School Gardens.

The time is close at hand for the school
children to start their spring gardening,
and all indications now promise that this
season will show better results than ever
before in the improvement Of the grounds
This movement, which started humbly a
few years ago. has so strongly appealed
to the children and their parents that with
a comparatively little assistance from the
public funds it has thriven amazingly. AL
ready a marked change is observable not
only in the immediate surroundings of the
school buildings themselves. but in all parts
of the city at the homes of the little Ones
They have been taught plant love in terms
which have in many cases never been pre-
ssnted to them before. Their personal
participation in the work Of making gar
dens in preparing the ground. selecting and
planting the seeds caring for the sprouts
and the plants and finally plucking the
blooms of their own cultivation, has given
them a new concept of the true meaning of
ornamental vegetation. They have gained
sense of responsibility which makes for
the Improvement of the appearance of the
whole city.
This year a new field opens before the
school children in this work The Dis
trict now has the funds for the purchase
of three large public Fairgrounds. OF
course the first work to be done in that
line Is to equip the spaces with the ap-
pliances for the athletic diversion of the
young folks. But there is ne reason why
these grounds may not be rendered at
tractive as well as useful They Will be
the more serviceabie to the community il

The Presidency and Fakes.

The republican leaders would do we'll
either to ignore all fakes as respects the
next presidency, or else set apart a goodly
amount Of time for examining and denying
them. For the market from now on Is GER
tain to be we'll stocked with inventions on
that subject.
No subject is more tempting to the origi
majors and disseminators of political gossip.
If the republicans are strong in their field
of candidates, they are quite as vulnerable
In the disposition of their candidates.
Observe.
Judge Taft and Mr.. Foraker are Ohio
men and citizens OF the same town. The
democratic play is to embroil their fol-
lowers if possible, over the preliminary
work, that as much bad feeling as the
matter will stand can be engendered before
the convention. The hope Is that if Taft
is the nominee the Foraker men will be
lukewarm: If Foraker is the nominee the
Taft men will be lukewarm. In either
divided republican vote would make
Ohio good lighting ground for the demo-
Gratis.
Indiana has but one candidate, but the
play is to persuade the country that Mr..
Fairbanks has opposition at home, and
would be in danger of losing the home vote
sometimes breaks. Mr.. Beveridge is repre-
scented as a heavy villain, with scowl on
his face. tall feather in his hat. and a
dagger in his hand, ready for dark bust
ness He is set forth as anxious to defeat
his fellow townsman for the nomination.
and as likely to be very cold campaigner
in case of a Fairbanks candidacy.
MIR. Cannon is the only man from Illinois
whose name Is on the presidential list and
the point in his case Is to make it appear
that he has no genuine support at home.
How can he win, 1t is asked, when Mr.. Cul-
lom is talking about the President for an
other term, and Gov. Deneen Is willing to
listen to the name of an outsider? But is
anybody tampering. or attempting to tam
per- with the Cannon boom In Illinois?
Start the story and keep it going, and may
be somebody will believe it.
In a word, the program is to SOW the
enemy's field with tares and trust to luck
for big crop. A republican division in
Ohio. another in Indiana, and another in
Illinois. all close together. should help
nightly in a campaign where there must
be union if there is to be strength. The
play has but begun. 1t is in five acts, and
every thriller. The final curtain will
be a roarer.

result would be for the court to take
charge itself of the insanity question at the
outset of any trial in which the plea of ir-
responsibility is raised. The system of
calling experts in the one interest or the
other is essentially unsound and Is calcu-
lated to confuse jurymen and to prevent a
clear view of the vital issues of the case.
The spectacle presented by the succession
of alienists on the stand in this case has
reduced the expert proposition to an alb
surdity. The cross-examinations have been
chiefly Intellectual fencing matches. Time
has been wantonly consumed and the ex-
penses of the trial have been tremendously
increased. The waste of weeks has caused
a serious blockade of the calendars and the
community has suffered seriously in many
ways in consequence. At best the question
of a mans mental condition must be an
swered in terms of professional opinion.
which cannot be absolutely correct In all
cases. Under the system of calling experts
In one interest and the other the result Is
direct conflict of two sets of opinions. With
the court assuming control of this issue and
referring the point to an unprejudiced COM
mission the judgment expressed Is certain
TO be infinitely more satisfactory and more
surely correct than the deductions Of twelve
unprofessional men who have listened to
perhaps as many opinions divided more or
less equally between the affirmative and the
negative.
If out of the Thaw case grows perma-
nent reform of criminal court processes In
cases involving the defense of mental ire
sponsibility, temporary or permanent. it
will not have been a vain expenditure of
time. energy and money.

they combine the beautiful and the practi-
cal. A child who mixes work and play Is
really better of than one who plays all
the time. During the summer much can be
accomplished in the cultivation of border
beds around the edges OF these public play
grounds. Vines can be trained over the
fences. and the interior Of the enclosures
may become a delight to the eye.
The prime object Of all this garden work
by the children is not so much the pro-
duction Of immediate results in esthetic
city decoration. as the incubation OF q
spirit of beauty In the little folks them
selves. The child who takes part In the
making Of flower garden Is morally ben
Gifted. The task itself is physically and
mentally wholesome, and when once the
appreciation Of nowers develops the young
ster has gained something that will always
bring JOY and sweetness into Its life. These
young gardeners are growing into better
men and women for the hours they spend
in the little plots of spaded ground at
school and at home.

A Boss. Indeed.

Colonel Ruef of San Francisco seems to
have earned his place among the boss
boodlers. Sixty-five indictments against
him IN one bunch testify to his industry
at least. Others are to follow. The full
extent of his transactions may never be
known. He himself may be amazed at his
moderation. He had extraordinary oppor-
tunities. First the city as it stood was in
the clutches of ring of which he was a
member. Then the city was shaken down
by an earthquake, and in its distress was
helpless in the hands of spoilers. Robbers
never had a fairer chance, and those who
improved this chance appear to have played
the limit. But Colonel Ruef is not behind
the bars yet. Whatever high-priced attor-
neys are able to do TO prevent punishment,
delay 1t, will be done. Like all such
men, he has provided himself with the best
talent money could retain.

The Court and the Lunacy Plea.

The sudden change in the Thaw trial
leading to the possible appointment of
commission in lunacy to determine the pres
ent mental condition of the defendant. gives
fresh point to the suggestion which was
advanced al the beginning of the case that
this question should be answered by I'M
prejudiced experts. summoned by the court
and not By one side or the other as a pre-
liminary 10 the formal taking OF testimony
This trial has afforded a conspicuous exam
pie of the absurdity OF RELOCATING such an
issue 10 the ordinary processes Of subpoena
and examination. Experts have been called
to the stand by both the defense and the
prosecution. They have testified respec-
lively that the defendant was insane at
the time of the killing and that he was not
then insane. Owing to the character of the
plea Of emotional or temporary insanity,
the court has been compelled to prevent the
giving of testimony as to his present men,

it is possible for a man to be deranged in

II Is plain that with the Thaw defense de-

Forest Preservation.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

Senator Depew chose a good subject lately
when he pointed out that we had been
only for ten years doing work which has
been carried on by the Swiss government
for 800 years, with the result that Switzer-
land Is still habitable and happy country
for the Swiss. and an unmatched summer
resort for the rest of us. In Germany for
.stry as a government function is hundreds
of years old. and in France it dates back to
Louis XIV. The latter country, indeed,
has just spent S1S,O0O.O0O as a part Of tree
planting operations which will cost $24.-
600, 900 before they are through. Instead OF
spending $4,000. 900 on planting in the APP
palachian region, We have preferred to lose
that sum in damages by floods caused by
lack OF those very trees. That happens to
be just the total of the flood damages along
the Ohio and its tributaries during the last
four years.

rom the New York Time.

From the New York Times
Two horrible scandals, published on the
same day, warn us almost equally against
being too much ''at ease in Zion One Is
a state scandal, one municipal scandal
1t Is shown that the state Of Pennsyl-
vania has been so looted that If it had been
a poor community 1t would have been i'm
poverished by the depredations committed
upon 1t in the furnishings of it's state
capitol. 1t is shown that the municipality
of SaE Francisco has been despoiled by
the majority of its official custodians. In
the city and in the state the causes of the
corruption are essentially the same. For
a generation the republican party has al
most continuously ruled Pennsylvania, with
hardly a chance that any outrage it might
commit would in any extremity be avenged
through popular indignation by its own
displacement The exceptions do no more
than prove the rule. 1t is not the republi-
can party which has been the fetch under
which San Francisco has been ruled and
robbed and ruined.
