Va WORD FROM THE PARK COM
MISSIONERS.

In allowing the Central States ANA
ySteur Rowing association the use OF
the park at the south end Of the Mar
ket street bridge the park commission
sers are serving the greatest number
tpossible. Everybody knows that
parks are for the public, and the park
commissioners have this idea in view
NOW The park commissioners ap-
Apreciate the general use the public
FIs making Of the park and asks in
dulgence Of the people for two days.
4 The course above the bridge was
hit upon as a last resort when the
ssigh water rendered the regular boat
ing course above the dam out of the
Question. Although the river stage
,thas not injured the water course
Iproper, still it has encroached on the
Ibanks where the amphitheater was to
have been built, and 1t would be i'm
possible now to arrange accommoda-
ftions for spectators at the west end
course.
The use of the park at the south
lend Of the bridge was then given to
the oarsmen as site for the seating
arrangements, and all public spirited
Jcitizens will agree that in setting aside
1.-THE park for the entertainment Of OF
tumwa people and the large crowds of
visitors that will be in the city to wit
ness the two days racing, the park
could not have been put to better use.

A PROTEST AGAINST vARpAmAN

S. Joe Brown, the Des Moines at
torney who was reelected as the
president of the Afro-American coun-
Gil at recent meeting in Ottumwa,
has written an article to the Register
and Leader in which he takes excep-
lions to the action of the Des Moines
chautauqua management In securing
Ex-Governor Vardaman and two other
speakers whom he terms negro
haters" as the principal chautauqua at
fractions. Mr.. Brown holds that to
import these southerners into the COM
munity and license them to send out
their poisonous SANDER of defense
less race which can but tend to incite
race riots and mob Violence" is a
continues:
On the fourth of July, when Cover
nor Vardaman was warning the Mid
land chautauqua against the bestial-
ity and lawlessness of our people,
prominent negroes from all over Iowa
were holding council in Ottumwa, at
the conclusion of which they issued
an address to the public denouncing
crime and advising their people to be
law abiding and to religiously avoid
the use OF intoxicating liquor and
especially drugs, the use of which they
declared led to the commission of a
large proportion Of the crimes com
mitted among us.
Not only this. but in that same
public address we expressed our ap-
prevail of the action of the court
which convicted and sentenced to
death member of our race who had
recently been found guilty of murder
in that city, and advised our people
everywhere to cooperate with the
good citizens and the officers of the
law for the punishment of all who
commit crime, regardless of race,
color or previous condition.
Mr.. Brown is justified in the position
he takes In the matter. The Varda-
mans and the Tillmans of the chau-
tauqua platform, while they are not
taken seriously by the great majority
Of the people, unquestionably do much
to needlessly stir up race feeling.

VACATION AS A DEVELOPER.


Success Magazine-Do you think a
vacation is loss Of time? 1t is the
best kind Of an investment-an invest
ment In fresh brains, in vigorous
health, in increased vitality.
People who seldom or never take a
vacation get into ruts Their minds
get stuffy and clouded; they lose the
power Of expansion, of growth; they
lose freshness Of view; the ability to
grasp opportunities; and, finally, they
lose their grip on things and on them
selves.
Recreation, for those who have been
held closely to business for a long
time, Is like the turning up Of hard
soil by the pillow, letting in the sun
light and stirring up the chemical
forces that have been sleeping during
the winter. Slumbering germs start
when they feel the warm sun, the gen.
tie rain and the tonic Of the dew.
There is rejuvenation and growth in
recreation In the country 1t loosens
up the hard soil of prejudice-mental
ruts-and refreshes and invigorates
the germs Of character,

THAT PEskY FLY.

Washington Post-Once more the
Muscadomestica-to use the name Civ
en- by high browed science-is abroad.
He shares our bed and board; is with
us very often when we blow out our
candles for bout with Morpheus, and
almost invariably intrudes his obnox-
ious buzzing and his ticklish feet up
on our matutinal beauty sleep. He is
provocative of more profanity, per-
haps, than any other one cause OF
,anathema, with the possible exception
Of the weather. He has been pro-
nounced by scientists to be sinister
interloper in the affairs of man. With
out care or consideration he mixes
with his little hairy legs our butter
with our beer-and worse. He ruffles
our tempers, spoils our appetites and
infects us with all kinds of malignant
diseases.
The house fly is all that you care to
say about him. He is a nuisance, a
pest, thorn in the side of suffering
humanity. But did you ever give him
serious study for moment? If you
did you have seen what great moral
lesson may be drawn from one Of the
least of Gods creatures. There is
none of us, indeed, who Is perfect.
There is some essential to our success
in which we fail.
Is it humility, lack of aggressive
ness? We have only to turn to the
fly for an object lesson. Note with
what savage insistence he attacks a
shining bald head or proboscis that
appears appetizing.
Are we deficient in energy? Look
again at the despised house fly. He
even transcends the busy little bee In
constant and untiring activity.
Do we procrastinate? Profit by OBJ
servation of the pcstiferous fly Who
ever saw the cream jug or the mo-
lasses pot that the inquisitive fly
would permit to stand untouched I'M
til tomorrow?
Is it that we fail in continuity to pur-
pose? Seek another lesson from the
fly. Study the determined persever-
ance that he maintains when he de-
cides that your head is the only one

turbance as expected to inaugurate
the most severe storm period of the
month, and following that storm
period to bring the coolest part OF
July, about IS to 81.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about 13, cross Pacific slope by
close of Ia, great central valleys

wave will cross Pacific slope about
10, great central valleys is, eastern
states and provinces IT, Cool wave

central valleys IS, eastern states and
provinces 20.
This will be bad one and repeat
the warning. The dangerous features

very few people, but as | cannot now

A PRETTY OLD SETTLER.

Newton Record-Last Monday about
E O'Clock the local editor of the Record
marked on his "notch-stick" the fifty
fifth year of his residence In Newton.
1t has been good long while since
that evening of June 20, 1854, when
with father, mother, two brothers and
two sisters, we, only ten and one-half
years old then, came into Newton
from our Indiana home, having made
the trip from Davenport in a wagon.
Newton was very small village then,
out on big prairie without a single
shade tree in the town We had good
relatives here and the people were
very kind to the new comers;;" but
mother would get homesick for her
kindred back in Indiana; the disease
was contagious and we would all have
SPELLS" but we got over it after a
while. Half Of the family including
parents, have long since passed away,
along with majority of the people
who were living here then. The boys
who on the Fourth of July-which
came few days after our arrival -
took us out to the swimming hole in
Cherry creek over in Voweps Grove,
have all gone, and even the swimming
hole has dried up-gone with the
other pleasant memories But, enough
of this. We only meant to write a
three or four line item, and our
stuhby pencil has almost led us out in
to deep water" But we can't help
sometimes thinking some Of the many
things which have happened In the
past fifty-five years; and yet we are
but boy.

BROWNING ON SPORTS

The National Education association
turned its attention to sports at it's
session yesterday in Denver, and heard
some vigorous objection to what one
speaker termed as rough house"
sports in the schools. Superintendent
Fee of the Wyoming schools said
Football in the secondary schools
is played by boys from Is to 10 years
Of age-boys who have not yet attain
ed full age and development. In
can be developed by the training that
is given by this game. But believe
that the benefit derived is more than
counterbalanced by the risk Of ply
steal injury. and this is the almost
unanimous verdict of physicians with
whom have talked concerning this
branch of athletics.
1.-THE long distance runs unqual-
ifiedly condemn for boys of a high
school age. The long and grueling con
test is painful tax on the heart and
lungs, and cases have several times
come under my observation where
boys competing in the distance runs
have as result become incurably
afflicted with heart trouble"
The Wyoming educators views will
be shared by great many who have
noted the tendency to overdo ath-
letics. Baseball. basketball, tennis,
jumping and the sprint races-these
are the sports for the school boys.
Football is all right for the husky
youth with muscular development
above the average, but undoubtedly
there is danger in the game for some
of the less robust school boys. Mar
athoning is rather risky venture for
the fully developed man. 1t is far too
strenuous for the average youth.
