ATLANTIC CITYS REPLY.

Three responsible and representative organ-
cations OF citizens of Atlantic City have at
last made a formal reply to the demand of
the Governor of New Jersey that the laws Of
the state shall be obeyed there as elsewhere
Their utterance is somewhat moderate in tone
and presents commendable contrast to some
OF the hysterical I'VE are supreme!" shriekings
of a short time ago. 1t is, however. far from
convincing if indeed it is not actually self-con-
victing in its evaSivenesS and its confession.
There is a serious-possby unintentional-
Misrepresentation by implication in the very
beginning of the address, in the reference to
laws which have existed since Colonial times
and which prohibit the sale not only Of liquors.
but also and equally Of newspapers, ice cream
and other articles Sunday. The apparent
implication is that the liquor trade is on the
same basis as these Others, and that Sunday
newsstands break the same law and break it
just as much as Sunday bars. That is not cor
rect IL is not merely that ancient omnibus
law which many regard as obsolete, which the
Sunday liquor seller violates, but the new spe-
cal law. directed against Sunday liquor selling
specifically and alone, which was enacted only
a few years ago and which bears the name Of
the Democratic Governor. George 7. Werts
who dictated it and secured its passage The
cry against Colonial blue laws is insincere
and misleading 1t should be-if at all-aganst
a state law OF our time, framed and
enacted in full view of present conditions and
requirements AZ Atlantic City.
There is moreover. decidedly immoral suS
zestion-which we are glad TO assume Is I'M
intentional-in the iatinatioH that as Atlantic
City has always ignored the law il ought to be
permitted 10 continue 10 do So. That cannot be
conceded. Because man is an habitual law
breaker. Of long standing he is none the less
cglpsble and the law is none the less valid. 1t
is probably true that Atlantic City has broken
the Werts law ever since it was enacted. So
much the worse for the city, and not for the
law. The present plea for modification of the
law comes with poor grace 1t should have
been made long ago. II Atlantic City had been
selling liquor on Sundays before the Werts law
was enacted, it should have protested against

THE PLAY CONGRESS.

Every one who is interested in the welfare
of the cities Of this country Will sympatnize
with the spirit and purpose that animate tne
PLAYGROUND Congress, now holding sessions at
the American Museum Of Natural History. Inc
Importance of play to the boysis recognized IN
the old proverb about all work and no play, but
an examination of the proverb shows how con-
dtions have changed. 1t was once assumed
that excessive work was the only conceivable
obstacle to sufficient play; now In the crowded
cities 1t is lack of the place and the means TO
play It is the recognition Of this fact and the
realization Of the effect Of no play upon the
physical mental and moral lives Of the growing
generation that explain why those who are IN
terested In the education and development OF
children find 1t necessary to gather together in
national congress to discuss means of pro-
viding The wherewithal for children to play in
the cities built by who have forgotten that
they once were boys. How new the general
realization of the problem is may be seen from
the fact that this is only the second national
congress on play.
The discussion of the congress Will be mainly
practical Where to locate and how to equip
Fairgrounds. how to get them at the least ex-
pense, how to make them effective, how to run
| them with the least waste, how to organize the
play so as to obtain the best results and other
questions of a similar bent will be answered
| and reports will be made upon the progress OF
the work in various cities and upon the results
| from experiments in playground management
everywhere. These will be of value to the play
ground workers and managers themselves. for
whom the congress will afford an opportunity
to exchange ideas. To the public generally
the discussions ought to serve to call attention
to the need of providing far as possible such
opportunities for play in the cities as are
necessary to develop healthy, normal children
and to resist the tendency of overcrowded con-
ditions to bEing on physical and moral de-

4 DEToTEg OF MOUNTAIN CLIMBING

DEPOIEE OF MOUHIiih tLih DIV U.
In the series of achievements which have
given her fame, Miss Peck illustrates not only
her wonderful pluck and physical endowment.
but also the rewards of perseverance. When,
encouraged by her conquest of the Matterhorn,
PopocatapetI and Orizaba she sought more
difficult task in the Andes, she gave her at
tention first to Sorata. Having reached q
height only a thousand feet lower than her
goal she turned back only because her Indian
guides refused to accompany her further On
Huascan she has made no less than five at
lacks, two in 1904, one in 1906 and two this
year Though those of four years ago were N
one sense unsuccessful, they were record as
cents one taking her to a height Of 10000
feet and the other $4,000 feet high. Her am
bition was thwarted few weeks ago, when
victory was almost within her grasp, by the
illness of her companions, which compelled her
to descend to the lowlands, and in her final
venture her Swiss guide, presumably veteran
in the art of mountain climbing, froZe both
feet and hand That her own powers Of en-
durance withstood the ordeal is a fine triumph
for her race, her country and her sex.
Surprise was excited last month when it was
reported that Miss Peck had reached an eleva-
ton of $4,000 feet, and it will not be lessened
by the announcement that her estimate makes
the summit (attained within the last few
ddyS( gO,ObD 1e1t ABOVE sen leVpi. AcOHCtgud,
scaled by Fitzgerald has hitherto been re-
garded as the Hottest peak in South America,
and Aconcaguas height was by him computed
to be 23,0S0 feet. On the occasion of pre-
vious visit to Huascan Miss Peck took a ba-
rometer and other instruments which might
help her determine the elevation Of any noun
tain she might ascend. Whether her technical
skill in interpreting their indications equals
her courage, however, Is a question that may
be raised without discourtesy When she re-
turns to this country an opportunity will
doubtless be afforded TO scrutinize her rnathe-
NAUTICAL methods in what Is no simple calcula-
ton If Huascan is really 1900 feet higher
than Aconcagua, instead of being q few hundred
feet lower Miss Peck has scored o great personal
triumph and made geographical discovery of
great interest Until more explicit information
Is available, 1t may be doubted If the elevations
reached by DR.. and Mrs Workman In Asia
az, 3394 and 23300 feet respectively have now
been surpassed
Everest, in the Hmalayas rises $4,000 feet
above the sea- and is believed TO be the highest
mountain in the world. The possibility OF seal
ing it Is an interesting subject for speculation.
Whether or not its slopes are more precipitous
than those which have yielded to human en-
deayor cannot easily be determined because
they have. been viewed only from distance,
but the cold which must prevail at such height
and the rarity of the atmosphere there would

SCHEME TO DEFEAT JUSTICE.

The plan to get Harry x. Thaw outside the
jurisdiction of This state should be resisted by
the authorities of New York with all their
power and the United States Court Sitting III
Pittsburg should consider gravey whether II
will permit itself to be used III any SUCH
tr1lmped up proceedings to enable IhaW 10 pc
come a fugitive from justice in this state and
TO Illustrate the authority of this state over
one of its prisoners. The whole proceedings
are obviously contrived to defeat, if possible
tbe ends of Justice in New York The bank
ruptcv process is located in Pittsburg for that
purnose The suit on which It is proposed to
take Thaw to Western Pennsylvania is brought
bv q restaurant keeper of Poughkeepsle, VINO
has apparently been serving T'heT IN MS pleas
ant apartments in the county jail, and lt Is
probably friendly" action of the sort that
has enabled Thaw to spend SO much of the
summer riding in automobiles to attend near
ings" upon the claims of his creditors. At any
rate, Poughkeepsie man goes to Pittsburs
to press a case against man in the rough
keepsie jail.
The plan In the furtherance Of which the
United States Court up to now appears content
to permit itself to be used Is to get Thaw to
Pittsburg on court order to examine him In
bankruptcy Once there, 1t will be urged that
he is insane and therefore incompetent to be ex-
amined In bankruptcy. This charge OF insanity
will be of a friendly sort Then if the federal
court continues to permit itself to be used to de-
feat the ends of justice in this state it Will order
an examination into Thaws sanity to be made
in Pittsburg This examination will be of the
friendly" sort, with the proof Of his insanity
resting upon his own representatives and those
who are interested to have him declared sane
If the expected result follows and he Is round
sane then he will De free. at least so long as

The federal court of Western pennsylvania
should decline to be used in any such plot as this
to take prisoner Of New York out of the hands
of the state A decent consideration for the
rights of this state should direct 1t to order
Thaw's examination in bankruptcy within the
Jurisdiction of this state If that is not done
and Thaw is taken to Pittsburg, then the comfy
of the courts requires that the federal court re-
fuse to pass upon Thaw's sanity and send
him back to the New York State courts which
have already assumed jurisdiction over that
question.
