School Fairgrounds Remain
Closed to Those Over
Thirteen.
WILL BE ADMITTED
TO CITYS GROUNDS
Compromise Effected by Which
Larger Children May Have
Games All to Themselves.

It is utterly impracticable TO permit
boys above the age of thirteen 10 use
the school Fairgrounds. according TO
President Cuno H. Rudolph, Of the
Washington Fairgrounds Association.
He said last night that the report pub
lished in an afternoon paper that such
arrangements had been made was an
error.
The boys above the age of thirteen,
he said. had been invited TO occupy the
six large municipal Fairgrounds, but
the association remains firm in its posi-
ton that there is neither the room for
the larger boys nor the necessity for
their presence upon the school play
grounds proper. which are all small.
and which, for a number Of years, have
been patronized only by children Of
thirteen and under.
The matter has been thoroughly gone
over. and for the reasons enumerated
by Mr. Curtis and others. it will not do
to permit the larger boys 10 monopolize
these small grounds" said Mr.. Rudolph.
The report that the association has
yielded in this matter is erroneous.
Will Not Yield.
Should we yield, it would mean that
the small school grounds would be oc-
cupied by about twenty large boys,
while fifty or sixty smaller children
would be denied the privileges at the
same time.
Instead, the larger boys have been
cordially invited 20 use the municipal
Fairgrounds, which are larger and more
fully equipped for rougher play. The
plan OF having iIerent hours for the
various ages H-s been tried at the
smaller grounds. and has proved unsat-
fsfactory- 1t is not good policy to mix
promiscuously the sexes and different
ages above the thirteen-year limit.
The association thinks that the pres
ent plan is the better by far, and II is
really the only thing we can do under
the circumstances.
Effect Compromise.
President Oyster. Of the Board of
Education. and Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mus
sey, a member Of the board and also
of the Fairgrounds Association, have
been inclined to view favorably the at
titude Of the larger boys. some Of whom
petitioned the board at it, last meeting
for admission to all Fairgrounds
President Oyster has gone so far as
10 say that If the discrimination con-
tinued, he would remove his personal
support as a board member from the
Fairgrounds Association movement. but
this has been answered by Supervisor
Henry Curtis. who says the plan Of
Rnixing the two ages on the small school
Fairgrounds is entirely impracticable
AS compromise measure. IL has been
~1ggested that the larger boys use the
municipal grounds. 1t may be that this

The International Bureau of the

Bureau of American Republics is just

1903 was notable one in the life Of the
Bureau This, Mr.. Barrett points out
was due largely to four causes: first,
the visit of the Secretary of State
of the United States to South America
and Mexico in 1906 and 1907, and his
personal and official concern for the
development of closer relations be-
tween the United States and her sister
nations: second. the reciprocal interest

Governments; third the generous gift
of Mr. Andrew Carnegie of $150.000 for
the erection of a new building or home

Bureau; and fourth. the efforts of the

A Marrow View Of the Ideal Wife.

A learned clergyman in Chicago has
given us his solemn opinion of the
qualities that make up the ideal wife.
The proportions are as follows: Ability
to cook well IS per cent; physical
beauty 20 per cent dress per cent
1t might strike unbiased people that
this is a somewhat limited conception
and that the man who held it was
somewhat lacking in his view of what
constitutes a good wife and mother.
Indeed we wonder at the combination
of egotism, and selfishness, and ignor-
ance which made it possible for nm
to inflict such views upon an intelli-
gent congregation. 1t would certain!
seem as if he might have added, few
more ingredients without seriously
detracting from his ideal. He might
have endowed her with character, and
intelligence. and some of the affections
and graces of life. What he had in
mind seems to have been not wife
but a cook-and even here his ideal
is far from satisfactory. A man who
really holds such a narrow view of the
qualities that make up a good Wlfe,
should never marry. He should re-
main in single blessedness, childlass
and alone. He should be forced to sew
on his own buttons, to take care of his
own rOom and to get his meals at q
lunch counter. This would be
gloomy sort of existence; but it would
serve him Just right.

The Presidents MESSAGE.

The 6Oth Congress has just met for
it's so-cal!ed short session and as usual
the most important feature Of the
opening days is the message from tine
President. Although it seems pretty
we'll understood that the present sho1I
will see only necessary matters OF
legislation attended to, such as the
general appropriations, tariff revision
and some other matters of Importance
which are specially pressing, still the
message Of President Roosevelt is not
on that account a short and perfume
tory document On the contrary, it is
exceptionally long as presidential
messages have run in the past, though
not as long as some of those earlier
ones sent out by President Roosevelt
and like all of his state documents it is
vigorous, original. interesting and We'll
worth a careful reading from begin
ming to end.
are made and no radical Legislation
urged, but the President hammers
away with unremitting zeal at matters
which have claimed his attention in
earlier messages and gives a compre-
hensive summary Of what the govern
ment is doing in it's various depart
ments and what the general conditions
are in Uncle Sans various enterprises.
The Journal publishes upon another
message, the last which President
Roosevelt will send to Congress unless
something arises to call forth a special
message during the brief session now
beginning.
The full text of the message is pre-
faced by brief summary of the
principal points touched upon in the
document, but we hope our readers
will not be content with glancing at
this summary. The whole document
deserves a careful reading by every
citizen who would intelligently follow
public affairs. Like all the writings
Of President Roosevelt it is easy and
interesting reading. 1t is not rehash
of the reports of the department heads,
but in his own vigorous style the Presl-
dent deals with important matters now
hefore the country and expresses his
opinion forcefuly and clearly upon
the need of various changes and upon
matters of proposed legislation. The
defense of the courts against the at
tacks made by certain labor leaders in
the recent campaign is a particularly
valuable part of this message.

I cannot say enough in praise of your
stomach remedy I was treated by, a

there kept me under observation one
week and then told me I had either gall
stones. gastritis or ulcer in the stomach
and must have an operation. I absolutely
refused to be operated on and left the

faith in you and decided to try your
remedy, and my faith was surely justified
