the most ladylike of the North Italian

improvement and asking immunity from
espionage contains phrase that is
worthy of passing note:
IT appreciate the interest shown In my
welfare by the press and by friends in
all sections and perhaps by some Others
1t is plain that Mr.. Harriman's sense of
humor has not been dulled by his ailment,
whatever it may be. The sly reference
to "some others shows that he is still
alert and that that wonderful brain that
has conceived such immense projects in
the development Of the American railway
system is performing its functions in a
normal manner.

very deeply interested in Mr.. Harriman's

The Fairgrounds.

The transfer OF the various Fairgrounds
In the city to the jurisdiction OF the COM
missioners. which is now proposed, Wouio
probably make for their more systematic
development as means of preserving the
health and aiding in the care OF the chill
dren OF Washington. These recreation
spaces are designed as supplement 10
the schools and as municipal method OF
keeping the children of the city In gooo
order. They may be regarded from one
point of view as police expedient- Tney
keep the children off the street and out OF
mischief. They lessen the work OF the
. law officers and the courts
Great credit Is due to the citizens VINO
have organized and maintained the Play
grounds Association from the inception OF
this admirable enterprise to the present
high stage of playground development
They have stood in the breach In emer-
rencies TO keep the work in progress and
have provided the means when Congress
has failed to appropriate the necessary
funds. The proposition to transfer the re-
sponsibility for the grounds to the Com
missioners meets with the approval Of the
associations officers, and it Is due the
citizens that this burden should be shifted
and that the accountability for the main
tenance of the grounds be placed where 1t
belongs.
AS long as the Fairgrounds are under
the supervision of an association of citi-
zens 1t will be difficult to induce Congress
TO regard them in the light OF part OF
the municipal equipment. 1t is already
hard to get proper Fairgrounds appropria-
lions from the Districts legislature. Some
members of Congress persist In regarding
Them as a fad uncalled for by the public
requirements and in no wise necessary to
the welfare of the community. This Is
despite the general realization throughout
the country that 1t is one Of the most ur-
gent duties OF every city to afford the
children opportunities for healthful exer-
else and to train them in wholesome play.
With the Washington Fairgrounds
brought under the municipal administra a.
lion Congress will be compelled to con-
sider them annually. just as 1t does the
police department, the schools and other
branches OF municipal organization. 1t
will be possible then to secure their finan-
.ial establishment on q permanent, relia-
ple basis. There will be. 1t is to be hoped.

City Lot Farming.
From the Portland tore.) Journal.

From the Portland (Ore.) Journal.
Several large American cities have
adopted to a considerable extent the plan
Of city lot farming brought into promi-
nence years ago by the late Mayor Pin
gree of Detroit. This is good method
Of helping people to help themselves, to
do useful work and become self-sustain-
ing and more independent. Philadelphia
is one of the cities where this plan has
been carried out under an organization
called the Vacant Lots Cultivation Asso-
citation. 1t gets consent of as many
vacant lot owners as possible to use the
ground. free of rent. and turns them over
to needy families, requiring pay. when II
can be earned, only for seed and utensils
furnished. This work not only benefits
many poor people. but in most cases real
ly improves the land used, and makes it
more valuable. Barren wastes or dump
ing grounds for noxious refuse have be-
come we'll titled, agreeable potato patches
or gardens. These are cared for in many
cases by women and children, or some
kinds of cripples, and the produce is
nearly clear gain.

Cook Reaches the Pole.

Today's dispatch from Copenhagen an
nouncing that DR.. Frederick Cook OF
Brooklyn reached the north pole on the
list OF April, 1905. bears evidence of au-
thenticity and accuracy Ire news comes
from the Shetland Islands by way of Nor
way and announces that Dr. Cook is on
board a steamer headed south. Inc
chances of a mistake are slight and II is
likely that within few hours the world
will be in possession of at least an outline
Of the achievement, for which science has
been waiting for many years.
DR.. Cook left Etah, Greenland, on
The Sd of March, 1905, with small
nartv of attendants. According TO
these present dispatches he reached
the pole within five and hail
weeks. a reasonable period considering the

tainment of the earth's northern axis,
pver sixteen months. has probably oeeh
due to the difficulties of the explorer

transportation.
Attention has been focused upon PedTs

plorer now in the field to have reacneo
latitude 90 ahead OF him.
If the Brooklyn man has indeed gone
to the lend of the earth" and has thus
accomplished what so many men nave
striven for during long periods and which
has cost lives of scores Of courageous
explorers and their devoted followers. he
will have earned the highest honors that
,an be paid. not only for the contributions
to scientific knowledge which the
achievement necessarily entails, but Tor
putting a period to an experiment which
has exacted heavy toll from humanity.
