THE problem Of Rock Creek Park"
said one citizen yesterday, us that of
making It serve the greatest good for the
greatest number "
AS support behind the movement favor
ing a popular and accessible reserve
grows stronger and stronger. 1t is evident
that the impetus to a definite forward
step will not be long delayed.
The campaign was inaugurated by The
Washington Herald two weeks ago, and
lit is growing steadily. Public sentiment
regarding Rock Creek Park has long lain
dormant. But that condition Of affairs
will soon be past. II the park Is not
placed within reach OF the people before
long. It will not be through lack OF public
demand
That the idea has already taken root.
that thought has already crystaliized in
action is proven by the example OF the
Washington Cricket Club, which Is now
using a portion of the park near the
Brightwood reservoir. The announcement
Of the plans of this organization in The
Washington Herald yesterday morning
caused wide discussion in athletic circles,
and 1t is probable other projects for
games IN the park viii be announced.
Indifference shown.
Believing that the development OF Rock
Creek Park has already been delayed BE-
yond reason, James L. Parsons the well
known contractor and builder. yesterday
indorsed the project OF The Washington
Herald for the popularization Of the re-
serve.
The opportunities which Rock Creek
Park afford are but little appreciated"
he said. ''Washingtonians at large seem
strangely Indifferent about the park. The
pride of the Capital has never been
focused upon II. It's enjoyment has
been left to a small number and the
people have known but little about Il.
There Is 10 doubt Rock Creek Park
can be placed within easy access Of the
| entire city. | have given no study 10
the traction problem. and hence am un-
prepared 20 make any statement about
the details OF its extension. But / am
sure these will offer but little difficulty.
The quaint rusticity OF Rock Creek Park
will not be affected by the penetration
Of car lines. as these will, OF course, be
extended discreetly. and with an eye to
artistic effect
The campaign Of The Washington
Herald IS a good one and deserves COM
mendati0n from all classes Of citizens.
AS the movement gains headway many
new plans will spring into view, and I
think that upon a topic OF such mutual
| interest as this one. the views OF all
the people should be ascertaIned. There
should be an attempt made 20 give the
greatest good 10 the greatest number"

". R. Lyon Meets With an Accident

Mr.. w. R.. Lyon, the well-known
travelling salesman, is a little sore on
account of an accident which befell him
last Thursday. He was driving dou-
BILE team and was in the Pellyton section
One of his horses became little un-
ruly and he was struck keen cut with
the whip. At this the horse became
angry and commenced kicking, and in
doing so, he got one of his legs over the
double tree which threw him. Mr..
Lyon jumped from the buggy, and at
this iuncture the animal got up and the
team started in run. Mr.. Lyon held
to the lines, but he was dragged thirty
or forty yards and was considerably
bruised about the legs and body. He
reached Columbia about dark in very
good shape, en- route for his home, and
in few days he will feel no bad effects
from the accident

Patriotic Services.

Last Sunday was independence Day
and the spirit of patriotism was in the
hearts of the people of Columbia. 1t
had been announced for a week that
patriotic services. would be held at the
Presbyterian church. Committees were
appointed to arrange program, decor
ate the church, etc., and by IL oc clock
the building was well filled. At the en-
trance a large flag, the stars and
stripes, was hung and the interior of
the building was fairly covered with
smaller flags.
Mr.. E. w. Reed was master of cere-
monies. The program was opened with
song service after which there was a
prayer by Rev. A. R. Kasey, followed
by song. Then came Mr.. Kasey's ad-
dress, his subject being Patriotism -
which he read. 1t had been carefully
written and it was impressively given to
the audience. 1t was historical pro-
duction of past events, and it was es-
pecially edifying. A song followered,
then an address b. Judge H. c. Baker,
who spoke for thirty minutes, enter
tanning his hearers with facts and
figures, clothed in most beautiful Ian
guage. He paid high tribute to the
men who wrote the constitution of the
United States, and also Thomas Jeffer-
son, the author of the Declaration of
independence. He spoke of the rapid
growth of this country from a colony
of thirteen States to its present mag
nitude, praising Goi for making this a
nation, the most powerful in the world.
He recited the many great achieve
mentss this country had accomplished,
believing that the omnipotent hand of
God had been with this nation from the
foundation of the government to the
present time.
The program closed with benediction
by Rev. Kasey, the people repairing to
their respective homes, feeling glad
that they had met to do honor to the
greatest, the proudest country upon
the globe.
Thanks are due Mrs. w. E. Brad
shaw, the organist, and the choir, and
also the committee who handsomely
decorated the church.

The Educational Meeting.

A large audience was at the court
house last Wednesday evening to her
Prof. j. l.. Harmon. of the Bowling
Green Business College, and Mr., T. B.
McGregory, Assistant Attorney Gen
eral of the State, who were here to
speak upon advanced education and to
show the standing of Kentucky in point
of education with other States through
out the union. They presented some
startling figures, and gave many potent
reasons why this Commonwealth, es-
pecially the people, should take more
interest in education. This State pays
four dollars annually for the education
of every child. in it of school age, but
the trouble IS that large per cent of
them are out of school. The addresses
of both gentlemen were highly enter
tanning, and a great deal of valuable
information was gathered from them.
In point of illiteracy Kentucky stands
almost at the bottom of the list, yet it
pays more money than almost any other
State for school purposes. These
gentlemen presented remedies, and it
is hoped that their suggestions will
prove of much value. While Adair
county, like many other counties in the
State. is taxed for school purposes, IN
the long rum. it does not pay cent.
The State pays back more than it re-
ceives.
