STARKVILLE HAS
MORE BURCLARIES.
feates' Hardware House and Stiles
Grocery Entered by Burglars Mon
day Night. Very Little
Booty Secured.

StarkviIIe had another burglary
Monday night similar to the one a
week or SO ago when Levenstein's
and Mmgolis' stores were entered
and robbed of few minor articles
and II small amount of cash.
This time it was the grocery
store of II. c. Stiles 4 Co., and
Aeno 1eates' hardware Store.
Stiles store was evidently the first
place entered. Here the burglars
effected an entrance at the back
window, which was protected by
IRON rods. The rods were twisted
and moved into such shape as to
give Il small opening hardly large
enough for Il man of much size to
go through, and for this reason the
thieves are thought to be BOYS.
at this store the house breakers
helped themselves to sardines and
cakes, rnmmaged the cash drawer
and secured some change. Out
side of this nothing is known to le
missing.
At Yeates' hardware store they
broke out glass pane in one of
the front doors and entered. Here
the only articles known to be miss
ing are two shot guns. They
opened Yeates' Cash register and
secured about fifty cents in change
overlooking thirty or forty cents in
dimes and nickels. The ROBBERY
was evidently committed before one
O'Clock in the morning as Mr..
Stiles baker went to the store ut
that hour to kindle fires for the
purpose or baking bread for the
days/trade.

CENTRAL PARK IS BETTER
THAN ASITE FOR BUILDINGS.

"They call it now The National
Academy of Designs on Central Park"
This is the Judgment of Harper's
Weekly on the movement to erect a
new home for the academy on part of
New York city's breathing space. The
trouble has had or still has its -coun-
terpart in every large city in the union.
The difficulty is that boards of trus-
tees are so eager TO advance their spe-
eial institutions that they develop
myopia as 10 all the rest. The Nq-
tiOnal Academy Is an important factor
in the life of New York city. So is
the Academy of Fine Arts in the life
of Philadelphia, the Art Institute in
the life of Chicago, the Corcoran Gal
lery in the life of Washington. 1t
might even be argued that any one of
these four collections has an educa-
tional value beyond the worth of any
plot of park space used TO house it.
But the problem is larger than that.
If an art institute is to encroach on
the public recreation grounds. why not
a high school? Or any other public
building. Indeed, in this particular in
stance, the board of managers proposes
to beat down part of the opposition
by providing space in its prospective
new building for the department of
parks and the Central Park police. The
end would soon be only as much
breathing space as would be left when
the greater number of municipal bu-
reaus had been donated sites for their
offices.
New York will be better off. as Phil
adelphia, Chicago, and Washington will
be better off, when sites are purchased
outright for such institutions as art
galleries and police systems. The ideal
arrangement is to use structures of this
class as frames for the parks. There
is then the extra value for the build

MAY PROHIBIT HIRING
BOATS TO CHILDREN
Commissioners Aroused Over
the Drowning of Little
Elmer Lacey.

The drowning OF Elme- Lacey, the
thirteen-year-old son of J. Elmer Lacey,
of COZ New York avenue northwest Will
probably result in the adoption by the
Commissioners of a regulation or the
enactment Of legislation prohibiting the
hiring of toats to children.
In refere nee to a letter On that subject
received from the father Of the boy.
commissioner Mcfarland said today
that he believed the hiring of boats to
children should be forbidden by law
and will ask the Commissioners to con-
slider a regulation to that effect. IL. in
the opinion of the Corporation Counsel,
it is within their power to make such a
regulation. II not he viii recommend
that the Commissioners ask Congress
to adopt such legislation as viii prevent
the risking OF lives Of children in small
beats.
Commissioner West haS requested DR..
w p. Hudson, superintendent Of the
bathing beach, TO submit TO him a re-
port on the extent to which boats are
hired TO boys.
The body of Elmer Lacey was found
by .he harbOr precinct crew last night
after dredging for twenty-four hours.
It was at the bottom of the basin, 30
yards from the point where the boat

Wherefore these Congressman are talk
ing mistake"
The idea is unworthy. Not only of
the Congressman, but of the citizens
those Congressman represent. After
seven and half years of trial, Theo-
dore Roosevelt gave it as his opinion
that President could manage not to
spend more than $4,000 a year while in
the White House. In other words, when
he retired he need not be loser bysmore
than the excess of his earnings above
his ordinary expenses had he declined
the nomination.
What kind Of showing is that for
the United States? How does it COM
pare with Great Britain's~ s., $4,000 to
the King and QueenH With $4,000
paid the governor general of Canada
With $4,000 paid the President of
Mexico2
We are great nation. But we will
never be great enough to excuse the
littleness of a plant that our Presi-
dent does not spend all of a $4,000
increase in his pay on travelling ex-
penses.
The Washington times., 1909-04-20
AN ATTEMPT TO MIX STYLE
AND SUFFRAGE.

Of all the strange objections made
against woman suffrage-we hasten to
remark that our role in the present
instances is that of observer, not of
advocate or opponent-the stTsngest is
probably that basedNon the new spring
styles. The substance of the argu-
ment is this:
That by wearing these directoire
gowns (which a distinguished doctor
protests must induce influenza and
rheumatism), and the waste basket or
jardiniere hats, women show themselves
as fashions slaves. Therefore, they
shouldn't be allowed to vote.
There would be some point to the
argument but for the fact that man,
the boss voter, is equally subject to
fashions laws and regulations. In
sooth, man cannot even claim the privi-
lege of comfort in summer-as he found
out few years ago when he tried to
drop coat and waistcoat and enter So
ciety in his shirtsleeves. Careful
caterers were quick to put the shirt
waist" man out; and after few evie.
tions he gave up the fight for indie
pendence. Possibly it was after a
previous repulse of this kind that a
leading Massachusetts, statesman, cha
grined to think how man was enslaved
by customs and conventions, took to
reading the evening paper in the win
dow of his mansion in his shirtsleeves.
A brave man, no doubt, yet he wore a
stovepipe hat-a topper of ludicrous
cut, as we would say now. How, per
chance, he would snort if he should be
asked to put on one of these new sky
blue Fedorasl
For years men of taste and self-re-
spect have rebelled against that mas
terpiece of characterless headgear
known as the derby; yet derbies are
the common crown of man in the 0c-
cident. Supposedly, some men have
reachei the stage where they couldn't
live without them. 1t certainly is true
that tie loyal, year-in-and- year-out
subject of King Derby has no patience
with men who have forsworn their al
legiance to the hat their fathers wore
and have gone over to brown and green
soft hats. So abiect is the slavery of
most men, sartorially, that the sight
of a really independent citizen, man
who dresses as far as he can to suit
his own taste and feeling, is enough to
excite ridicule. When this ridicule
comes from the young, from the sons
of the ultra conservatives, it is apt, un-
fortunately, to take a very substantial
form. Who has not seen a brilliant
lid lifted by a barbarian brick?
It is an interesting, extensive sub
'ject. But all we meant to say at first
was that the argument IN question had
two edges and could slash both sexes
with one stroke.
