The Reason.

Another mystery has been solved For a
long time government employees and
others in Washington have observed that
there has been a scarcity of twenty dol
lar gold pieces. The glitterinG trifles
have become SO scarce that few persons
have felt like using them for car fare,
giving them to newsboys, dropping them
in the church plate or spending them for
cigars or the other necessaries of life.
This particular coin has become SO rare
that it is daily occurrence to meet a
man on the streets of Washington whose
pockets are not crammed with them. In
fact, it is possible for a man to ask a
friend for the loan of a twenty-dollar
gold piece and be refused.
But the cause of the trouble is now
made clear. The following dispatch tells
the true story:
SAN FRANCISCO-After coming $43,
600 in twenty-dollar gold pieces of the
latest design the San Francisco mint,
acting under orders Of the Treasury De-
partment has stopped work on the coins"
The common folk in Washington will
await the resumption of the coinage Of
twenty-doliar gold pieces. They have
waited for so many things that they
know well how to wait, and to wait for
one more thing will not strain their ma
thence.

Bryan and Hearst.

The question of veracity between Mr..
Bryan and MIR. Hearst is to be regretted
And 1t comes as a surprise. Both men
stand we'll with their followers on other
than political grounds, and the men them
selves in times past have worked together
on very friendly terms. But Mr.. Hearst
states positively that in personal con-
versation with him Mr.. Bryan sought to
bargain for support in this years con-
test. with promise OF supporting him
Qiearsp four years hence for the pres-
dency. and Mr.. Bryan az positively denies
the statement. The issue could not be
more sharply drawn.
II Mr.. Hearst declined It's enter into
what he conceived to be a bargain he
acted wisely, for two reasons D In
office or out. MIR. Bryan will be in no po-
sition in 1912 to help forward anybody s
presidential ambition: and ca Mr. Hearst
can never hope to reach the presidency as
anybody's heir.

Public Park Concerts.

Washington should and does return
thanks TO the government bands that
0ave furnished the park concerts during
the season of 1905 The music has been
good and pleasure has been given If
any criticism We're to be made il might
be said that public appreciation of these
concerts has not been adequate.
The free band concerts have cheered
Washington's stay-at-homes and might
be counted as one of the advantages
which the steadfast resident enjoys over
those who wander from their own fire.
sdes-or refrigerators. The concerts are
educational. The music OF the bands and
the publicity given to the programs by
the city press entertain and instruct
thousands OF persons who would no,
otherwise be reached
The band concert in the public park is
a good step. Time was that a military
band was heard only at its post or on
parade. Now IL is doing extra duty in
teaching music and popularizins the mill
tary service. To have the band come 10
a central and beautiful park, with a vast
audience standing or promenadins, is a
distinct advance Probably sooner or later
benches will he provided for the audience
and quiet insisted on.
There is one drawback 10 the open-air

Playground idea Spreads.

Gov Hughes is sound on number of
big public questions. 1t is no cause for
wonder. then. that he reasons we'll and
talks straight on the question of public
Fairgrounds.
In his recent address before the Play
ground Association of America he said a
number of good things. He put obvious
truths in a pointed way. Among the sem
timents he expressed were these:
I'VE want Fairgrounds that we may
conserve the health and morals of our
children:
THE best way to train boy to do right
is not to lecture him into tears about his
wrongdoing. Boyhood and girlhood must
have vent in play. 1t is natural; it is
right:
The successful worker must have the
spirit of play in his heart, and the sue
cessful man is only a boy with mans
experience
The most dissentious man would find
some difficulty in disagreeing with Gov.
Hughes on these sentiments. The gov
ernor voiced good philosophy when he
said: We want Fairgrounds in order
that we may aid in the development Of
the sentiment of honor. I do not know Of
any better way to teach the boy to be
honorable and straight than to give him
a chance to play with his comrades. If
there is one thing we need more than ap-
other it is the constant emphasis among
our citizens of that spirit of fair play
which Is learned best of all in childhood
upon the playground.
The playground thought is striking
deeper into the public heart. 1t is pleas
ing to note that Washington is among the
cities for example, Chicago, New York,
Boston, Cleveland, ST. Louis, Pittsburg
and Kansas City that have made notable
progress in providing Fairgrounds for the
juvenile population.
Bearing on the spread Of the playground
idea. the statistics presented to the ma
tional playground association by it's sec
rotary, DR.. Henry S. Curtis. are Sig
nificant. He showed that the sum of $12,-
100000 year is being spent in the United
States in the establishment of new play
grounds and in the maintenance of those
already stablished. Public Fairgrounds
have been established in 1T cities. More
than one-third of the cost of establishing
and supporting these recreation centers
is being met by voluntary contributions.

the hoodlum have too much latitude
Scarcely anybody can wholly enjoy the

crowds OF ogling men. crowds OF women
on parade and crowds of other idlers

stand are always hundreds of young and
old men and women to whom the music

and the band disturbed by the noise
and confusion of those who come to the
park TO strut and stare
Here is where a great Improvement
could be made in the Washington park
concert No blame can he attached TO
the park police or to anybody except the
unmannered people who abuse these con-
certs.
Other cities also have trouble with the
concert crowds. The Worcester Gazette
says:
''Worcesters open-air band concerts
ire ended for the season. and the hood
lumS who have rioted about the parks
in which the musicians have made their
efforts to entertain the people must seek
other occasions for their noisy disturb
ances of the public peace. What these
discord breeders have done at the band
concerts will live in the memory of all
who have attempted to enjoy the music
provided by the city. and it will be Ions
before the little that has been done by
the city authorities 10 abate the nui-
sanceS of noise during the band concert
season will be forgotten. Before there is
arrangement for another series of concerts

people who go to the parks to hear the
music may be protected in their rights
The time will come in Washington when
these free and patriotic concerts by the
government bands will be purely musical
affairs.

New York's High Pressure Service

One result of the installation Of the high
pressure water service in the greater bust
ness section of New York city is the with
drawal from that district of four of the
most powerful steam fire engines and the
substitution for them of four new hose
tenders. This is one step in the disap-
pearance of the fire steamer from the
congested streets of city.
1t is given out in the news that the sub
stitute tenders will carry forty lengths OF
fifty-foot hose. Under the drivers seat
is standpipe with three nozzles. Three
lines of hose can be connected with this
nydrant, coupling made with the high
pressure mains and three streams, much
more powerful than those thrown by q
fire engine, turned on the flames.
The high pressure water main with a
mighty central pumping engine to do the
work of batteries of the present type fire
steamers is sure to be installed in big
cities. By the promptness with which
such service is installed may be measured
the progressiveness of a city. The in.
staliation of the new system costs money
and disturbs tradition but the logic of the
situation irresistibly demands the change
With II, water may be turned on a fire
QUICKER and In greater volume. Many
fires that become costly CONGREGATIONS
would be extinguished with trifling loss
Washington cannot have the new eff.
fective and economical fire-ighting service
too soon.

Maine, and After.

The republican figures in Maine are
small. Naturally Mr.. Bryan and Chair
man Mack seize them. and find in them
a sort of comfort. They regard them as
containing what in politics is called a
trend. Trend or not. there the figures are.
and they may be expected to rattle around
until November election day.
That Maine is for Taft and Sherman by
a very much larger vote than the re-
publicans threw yesterday admits OF no
doubt. Local issues being now out of the
way, the national issues will hold the
stage. and on those issues-the leading
ones-Maine has often spoken. Protection
and sound money have never failed to
carry the Pine Tree state. They will not
fail this year.
Vermont and Maine have gone repub-
lean. and Arkansas remains democratic.
This was the general expectation. No
sign of a landslide appears. and each side
seems impressed with the necessity of
working like a Turk for whatever is in
sight. The situation upon the whole, is
interesting.
Mr.. Bryan and Judge Taft are now in a
sort of joint debate. Each is asking the
other questions at long range. and pick
ing the other ito pieces" That is bet
ter than would be an appearance face to
face on platform. Rival smiles and
defamation are eliminated. and the real
problems at issue hold attention.
Mr.. Bryan declares that Judge Taft is
dissatisfied with the Chicago platform.
Judge Taft retorts that Mr.. Bryan is rum
ming away from his record. Mr.. Bryan
Complains that Judge Tafts amendments
10 the Chicago platform are obscure.
Judge Taft replies that Mr. Bryans posi-
ton on certain public questions is too
plain for the latter's good. Mr.. Bryan
wants to hear more from the candidate
than from the President. Judge Taft
promises to give on his stunping tour all
that Mr.. Bryan can reasonably desire.
The country is waking up. There's life
in the old land yet. AS rule we all
start off In presidential years in pessi-
mistic mood. We expect too much at the
outset. If at the very beginning all hats
are not thrown into the air and all
,hroats tested TO the splitting point a
fear is expressed that dull times are
ahead Every other person is satisfied
that the campaign will be languid. But
no presidential campaign is ever languid.
Soon or late, by one means or another,
the candidates and the party managers
get the attention of the voters. and then
everybody becomes very much alive.
Mr.. Bryan is addressing large crowds,
and Judge Taft will soon be doing the
same thing. Voters are listening and
reading. and the prospects are bright for
large figures on election day. Who will
lead in the poll is today a matter for tall
claims based upon partisan enthusiasm.

Constitution Island.
From the New York Times.


1t is something new for the United
States government to receive a present

transactions it is the generous Siver
Mrs Sage and Miss Warmers gift of Con
stitution Island, in the Hudson river. tC
be used as part Of the military reserva-
ton at West Point, is all the more note
worthy. Probably some technical diff.
cuties will be encountered in the trans
fer of the island from the domain of New
York state to the ownership OF the fed
eral government. but as the residence OF
Miss Warner on the island is not to BE-
interfered with during her life. and hel
gardens. pasturage and water supply are
to be undisturbed, according to the terms
OF the gift, there will be plenty of time
to meet all the legal requirements Yves
Point grows yearly. and undoubtedly
needs more land, while the situation OF
the island is convenient for the Military
Academys uses, and its historic associa
tions. as the site of one of the American
defenses in the revolution, makes tn,
gift seem more appropriate.

1912. Mr.. Bryan could not prevent his
own nomination then if he would, and
he would not try.
In the second place Mr.. Hearsts APP
peal for the presidency must he made
in his own name. He may be character
lied as the Topsy of our politics. He
has Just growed." His views are his
own. When not original they have been
so changed in adoption and in their new
association as practically to become Mr.
Hearst's own He is thoroughly commit
ted to the proposition that both OF the
old parties are lhopelessly bad. and that
only through the instrumentaity of a
new party can the people recover control
of their affairs.
All of this was as plain to MI. Hearst
at the time he met Mr.. Bryan now.
He could not. therefore. have bargained
with the peerless leader about this year
or 1912 with any credit to his intelligence.
He has probably bought some gold bricks
in his day-most men of large wealth and
political ambition are trapped into such
purchases-but such an investment as that
would have discredited both his judgment
and professions.
There is ground for reason other than
personal why Mr.. Hearst should desire
MI Bryan's defeat this year. There are
many democrats so radical in their views
and tendencies that another defeat of Mr..
Bryan will bring them to q deep consid-
Grafton of a new alignment: and they may
lister then to Mr.. Hearst's plan of saliva
ton and agree to accept it at his hands.
Radicalsm has a strong hold on atten-
ton. and Mr.. Hearst in many things is
radical enough to suit men of that stripe
seeking leader. With Mr.. Bryan out of
the way. who could compete with him for
the place?
