Noise at the Park Concerts.

In another part of The Star today is
printed a communication from a citizen
who bewails the manner In which the
younger generation are behaving at the
evening band concerts in the local parks
While possibly he does not appreciate the
natural impulse with which the juveniles
seize in a noisy manner their chance to be
free Of the parks, there is reasonable
ground for his complaint against the noise
and disorderly conduct at the concerts.
The prime object of this series Of musical
programs in the parks is to furnish free
music to the people, and this object is de-
feated to a great extent if the conditions
do not permit the people to hear the
music. There should be no difficulty
about keeping order at the concerts. The
presence Of a few policemen charged with
authority to make arrests in the parks
in case OF pronounced disorder would
very quickly put a stop to the romping
and noise making of which The Stars
correspondent complains. OF course. it is
not desirable that there should be any
arrests growing out of an enterprise of
this kind. but it is deplorably evident that
certain people bear themselves thought
lessly toward others on all occasions of
public gatherings OF this character and
need an occasional lesson to remind them
OF the requirements of polite society.
This situation unpleasantly attests TO the
lack of good taste on the part of the
crowd in this country. Possibly it is be-
cause free band concerts are compare
lively novelty on this side of the Attain
tic. II good music begets good manners
then possibly the concerts themselves may
work out cure for the rowdyism that is
in evidence on these occasions. The gov
eminent officials in charge of the parks
might we'll consider the adyisa biity of
supplementing this influence with little
first-hand. direct discipline.

Mr.. Kern.
From the New York Times.

from the New York Times.
If Mr.. Bryan Ia satisfied with Mr.. Kern
nobody else will complain. We are glad
that the name Of no eastern democrat
was put upon the ticket. Real democrats
from this part OF the country with one
accord declined the doubtful honor. Judge
Gray would have none of II. Mr. Little
ton. even, said that his conservatis
made him unavailable. Mr.. Bryan wanted
Il New Yorker for perfectly obvious rea-
sons but New York stoiidly refused TO
present a name. The nomination OF an
Indiana man is appropriate and congru-
GUS The campaign will be most strenu-
ously fought out that way. and Mr.. Kern
name will inspire enthusiasm in state
where, as Mr.. Marshall observed IN the
nominating speech. every man is poll
tician or an author.

Some Democrats Are Sorry.

From the Baltimore Sun.
OF one thing there can be no doubt, and
that Is that his nomination for the third
time, while In no sense a surprise, Is q
distinct disappointment to a large section
of his party. Many OF those who enter.
tain this feeling may support him in the
end. but for the present their attitude Is
one of deep regret and dependency.
Their position is not one OF personal hos
tility or unfriendliness to Mr.. Bryan.
Gladly bearing testimony to Mr.. Bryan's
brilliant intellect. to his oratorical genius.
to his fine moral qualities. his upright
ness of character and his patriotic intent.
many thoughtful and patriotic democrats
have nevertheless been unable for sew
eral years past to convince themselves
that his further leadership would make
for the welfare or success of the party,
for the good OF the country
