FISH POND FOR KANSAS CITY
Suggestion of a Man Who Likes an
Afternoon of Angling.


Afternoon of Angling.
kansas City is badly in need of
something" said a resident of the east
side the other day to reporter of the
Kansas City Star. Il suppose If I'd tell
anybody what it is the city needs I'd
be laughed at. but I'm going to speak
out anyway.
sThere is no place where a Kansas
Cityan can go to fish for an afternoon
and get back in time for work the next
day. l mean fish for real fish-bass
and crappie and other game fish. Of
course in the Blue river at Swope park
there are few catfish and some carp,
and I'm not throwing any slurs at
them. But there are no game fish
nearer the city than those in private
pond near independence. 1t takes near
" four hours to make the trip there.
and it leaves little time in an after
noon for angling.
"Now, have suggestion. l have
noticed that the park board is grading
parts of the park at the grove on Fiji
teenth street at Benton boulevard
There is ravine running nearly four
blocks through the grove that at most
points is at least ten feet deep from
the south bank and varying from two
to ten feet on the north. Trees and
brush save the rayine from being an
unsightly scar. But why not fill the
basin of this ravine with water and
stock it with good game fish? It is an
excellent place for them. After year
the park board could allow fishing,

rapidly, and the tree trunks and shrub
berry would furnish an excellent pro-
lection for the young fish. I want to
see place where women and children
and any others who enjoy a national
sport without riding on train can go
for half day. Game fish need deep
water and shade. The ravine in the
grove could furnish these"

Special Correspondence to The Pre-,

CHICAGO, March 2.-Prayers,
hypnotism, poetry, were some of
the means Mrs. Frances Parke, of
Des MOines told the Chicago police
she used in an attempt to retain the
love of her millionaire husband, Al
bert Edwin Parke.
Parke is said to be about Al
years old, mining promoter and
interested in interurban traction.
Mrs. Parke is living with her
mother on the Southside and Parke
is staying at a downtown hotel.
When Mrs. Parke had him ar

ment she accused him of these
things.
His heart hasn't a soft spot in

REAL V|LLA|NY
At COLUMBIA

There is some real villainy afoo
at the Columbia theater, even more
realistic in its effects than the
Noel Travers brand. Instead of the
| feelings of the audience, it is the
tender sensibilities of the actors
that are harried, for none knows
at what critical moment in his OF
| her career the cruel blow may de
scend swiftly from the gallery, con
Meeting cruelty with the victim s
conk.
And the worst of it is jealousy
of the deepest dye of green, and
vengeance of the deepest dye OF
black, Is at the bottom of it.
The visible symptom of all this is
an occasional missile from the gal.
lery that lands where it listeth. 1t
may be lemon, or spud or some
thing else equally humiliating, or
mayhap the swift pellet propelled
by blow gun. They come forth
from the gloom when the soft pedal
is on. and the lights are low. The
kneeling hero and the trembling
heroine know not at what moment
their endearments may be
punctuated with a swift flying bean
or the unromantic arrival of a sug-
gestive lemon. The stage villain
may perish ere his allotted time
from the blighting presence of an
onion. If Monte Carter suddenly
developes misplaced howl of He
brew anguish it is probable due to a
small rock sifted suddenly through
his wig.
These things have come to the
management in more serious guise
and they are on the trail hotfooted.
Here is where the real villainy de-
velops. They believe the lombard
ments have been organized by bud
ding Booths who have been elm
mated from the caste for various
reasons. Brooding vengeance, they
are suspected of laying plots that
inspire outbursts from the suscepti-
BILE gallery gods. They say: "Yuh
have robbed muh of muh meal
ticket and yuh shall suffer. Lay
on. That was good one, but get
him on the ear next time.
R-r-r-v-en-g-e."
This may salve the injured
Thespain to some extent, but he
will be apt to require something
more healing when the manage
ment trails up on him. Also the
bad kids are just about in the
grasp of the iron hand. Most Of
the offenders are spotted and the
next outbreak will see the guilty
wretch quietly led for to his doom.

as successful as Mr.. Coyle has been
in the past decade. II We were,
what would John D., for instance,
be doing now? If every man. wom-
an and child were to begin to save
money how long would it be before
they had saved their share of the
wealth of this country? l believe
each amount so saved would be
quite little sum, but it would not
buy two homes in Spokane at
present prices.
Again suppose this socalled bum
that Coyle referred to should make
up his mind to save $1,000. If he
succeeded he would have more than
his share. AS far as | know there
isn't $1,000 to each inhabitant of
this country, nor one fourth that
sum- If there were one fourth
this amount, $3.50, even, it would
not buy two homes in Spokane.
Then how are you going to solve
the bum problem by saving your
money? Plenty of buns will re-
main after everybody has saved all
he can. And what are you going
to do with this bum fraction? You
can reduce it but you can't get rid
of it altogether when there isn't
money enough for everybody if ev-
erybody saved all they got, The
buns will still be on earth, Mr..
Coyle, until such time as the laws
are enforced regardless of the size
of pocketbooks. They are all look
ing for the amount Of money a man
has to defend himself. If he has
nothing he gets 60 days in Jail for
not having it. 1t is not matter
of justice at all, but a matter OF
dollars and cents, which we all
know is dealy wrong.
Suppose there are 100, 900 peO-
pie in Spokane, each as successful
as Mr.. Coyle. We then would have
100000 home, two for each indi-
vidual, as he has. Would we live
in one for the winter and the other
in the summer, or could We live in
both at the same time? At Mr..
Coyle's rate it would be only mat
ter of time until Calcutta became
a part of greater Spokane. Ernest

that by the latest report there was
total of $31.41 cash in circulation
per capita in the United States, and

Editor, PreSS-A few words In
reply to Thomas C. Coyle on the
unemployed question. / maintain
that Mr.. Coyle's position that nc
man should be broke or hungry il
he has taken care of his earnings,
is fallacious one. Mr.. Coyle, to
substantiate his position, goes on
to say:
Ten years ago ! got married.
didn't have dollar. at that time,
but the little woman had 500, so
we started. Quit cumming around
nights and today have two nice
homes, so you can see ! am deal
ing in facts"
Where Mr.. Coyle errs is in as
Stunning, because he did so well,
everybody else could have done
likewise. To illustrate We will sup
pose Mr.. Coyle to De blacksmith.
He is sober and industrious, there
by becoming a valuable employee
and in reward is given steady en-
ployment at an advanced rate of
wages-which would be absolutely
necessary, else he, wage Garner,
could not pay for two homes in 10
years. Now, to further illustrate,
we will say Mr.. Wanderer. whom
he so severely criticises for not
having so much, is also a black
smith. Instead of wandering about
he also becomes imbued with the
notion to own two homes, quits his
bad habits and becomes in
dustrious. Suppose further, every
other journeyman blacksmith fol-
lowed the good example set by Mr..
Coyle. Wouldn't good, sober, in
dustrious blacksmiths become a
drug on the labor market? And
then wouldn't Mr.. Coyle's wages
take tumble owing to the fact
that plenty of reliable workmen
were seeking steady employment
as means of getting two
homes?
Possibly Mr. Coyle will argue
that more horses would need shoes,
were smiths all sober and looking
for the work.

prevailing industrial conditions. by
the failure of others. In the race,
