CHICAGO. April S.-Bankers and rep
resentatives of the Illinois Manufacturers
Association met yesterday afternoon to
discuss campaign against the Aldrich
currency bill. The conference approved
the work already done in opposition to the
bill and planned to make energetic pro-
tests
The project of sending a delegation of
Chicago bankers and business men to
Washington TO lobby against the bill and
to show the sentiment in the west was
settled favorably. President James B.
Forgan of the First National Bank and
First Vice President Joseph T. Talbert o.
the Commercial National Bank have al
ready arranged to appear before the
House committee that has the bill in
charge on April Is. 1t was decided that a

legislature of the state of Massachusetts
requiring every city of 900 inhabitants
to maintain at least one centrally located
playground. and for larger cities to main
tain at least one for each additional 200
of the population. The introduction Of
such laws is also being considered in sew
eral other states.
Two years ago there were eight sites.
large enough for Fairgrounds. remaining
within the more thickly populated parts
of the old city of Washington. Today
there are only three sites left. The sites.
which are large enough for Fairgrounds,
will disappear within very few years. A
sufficient number of sites to cover the CITY,
which could probably he purchased now
for less than $1,000. 600. would probably
cost S.. 00O 600 ten years from now.
Washington should learn a lesson from
New York city. A law was passed there
in 1887 allowing the expenditure Of 81. o00.-
600 a year in the acquisition of play
grounds but it was found on investigation
that a playground could not be purchased
in New York city for 81. 900. 600 Seward
Park of two and five-eighths acres cost
$500, 600. practically $l.0oo0o0 an acre.
If Washington has to make its play
grounds by demolishing blocks OF build
ings the expense will he four or five
times what i; would be now.

to our people without charge. Hon. George W. Donaghey has for the past 20 years been ab solutely loyal to our cause. It was due to his heoric leadership, together with others, who broke the backbone of whiskey lawless- ness which dominated in Conway 20 years ago, and helped to drive the saloon from there, whereby the town was lifted from one of the toughest places in Arkansas to that of d light house for God and Christian education. Hon. John H. Hinemon being a church and school man, no one could doubt that he would prove loyal to the good citizenship of Arkan- saS in their efforts to secure State Wide Prohibition, and his announcement for the same does not add anything to that assur- ance that we had at the time he entered the field, nor does it give him any advantage over his op pOnentS among the real Prohibit tion leaders, for the reason that he had tactly agreed as did the others, that as there was no diff erence between them on the ques tion, it would be unwise to raise the issue.
 So we feel safe in saying that if State Wide Prohibition was as sure from a legislative stand pOint,as it is from the governors, we would be safe Our weakest point is the Senatorial situation. Our friends in all parts of the state should use every effort to secure true men as Senators and Representatives from their re Spective Counties.

 Had the saloon element known the absolute loyalty of each of the four candidates for governor, they would have forced out a man and pitted him against the field, but now we are safe as it is too late for any new Richmond to enter.
