The right 10 play baseball on Sunday is
apparently in nOwise TO be restricted or i'm
paired. The game is considered, and probably
with justice To be our national game and we have
il on high judicial authority that TO prohibit or
TO interfere with the playing of 1t on Sunday
would he contrary TO the spirit of American
institutions. Upon this indeed, juriSts social
refOrmers and advanced theologians all seem to
be agreed, and he who dissents from their die
tum is likely 10 find himself denounced as
Puritanical and behind the times.
Such being the case we must with Difference
express regret at the abuses that are practised
in association with this inalienable natural
right. For years the elevated railroad and sub
way trains of this city have been infested on
Sunday afternoons and evenings with gangs
of young ruffians who in organized fashion and
evidently with malice aforethought have in
suited and assaulted women as well as men.
have broken lamps and windows and otherwise
destroyed property, and at times have greatly
endangered life by meddling with signals for
the control OF trains. Such doings have for
years occurred so regularly and to such an
extent that many women have not unreasOnably
regarded travel on the cars on Sunday evenings
during the ball season as unsafe. For in nrac-
tically every case the offenders have been ba II

the violent lawlessness of Sunday baseball
players might be recalled
Now. we have been told that playing baseball
on Sunday is necessary for the physical welfare
Of those who have no other time for such exer

Llfp0RTANT ITEM OMITTED.

Professor Giddings. one Of the committee on
candidates appointed by the Committee of
One Hundred, has been telling the public his
ideal of a candidate for Mayor. He should have
a backbone He should have been born since
the last animal left the ark. He should have
some ideas, though it does not make much diff
ference what they are. We should not quarrel
about these requirements for Mayor. COnsid-
ering the relative scarcity of ideas and back
bones, who would not he satisfied with man
equipped with both? Even though he came out
of the ark at the head of the procession he
should have our suffrage
But for candidate the professor left out one
important qualificatiOn-we are not SO sure that
a Mayor needs il, but candidate cannot get on
without t-a tongue From our observation of
public life the tongue is the outward and visible
symbol Of both a backbone and ideas, and a
capable substitute for both of them. How shall
the public know that man has ideas and a
backbone if he has not tongue, and how shall
it be sure that he has neither if his tongue
serves him effectively? If he has a backbone
and ideas also he will he something of para
gon. but not too much for the job of candi-
date for Mayor.

"IIIATION Md"

In explanation of the reluctance manifested
by foreign aeronauts to visit New York on the
occasion of the Hudson-Futon celebration, Mr..
James NJ. Beck remarked the other day that
Europe is aviation mad" How well justified
this characterization is appears on consideration
of the number and size of the money prizes
which have been proposed for aeronautic achieve
ment in the countries visited by Mr. Beck
Six prizes mngiI; from $500 to $4,000 have
been offered To encourage participation In a
series of contests about to be held at Rheims
Three others. one of which amounts 10 $4,000,
may he won by persons performing specific feats,
like making a voyage from Calais 10 Dover or
from Paris to Clermont Exceedingly liberal in
ducements have also been presented by English
men for flights in their own country or from
their shores 10 France. -Four prizes. the largest
OF which is $4,000, have been offered for aerial
Journeys from London 10 Manchester and one or
5000 may be gained by a trip from Liverpool TO
Manchester. In some of these instances the OPP
portunty is open only TO Enslishmen, but In
others the invitation is international England
certainly manifests quite as much enthusiasm as
France. and as arrangements are in progress
for eight or more additional contests, few I'm
the countries Just mentioned and others in Bel
GUM, Germany and Russia, II is evident that
the mania Is steadily spreading.
Press dispatches report that thirtyeight aero
planes have been entered for the races at
Rheims This surprisingly large number bears
testimony 10 the popularity which, owing TO its
comparative novelty. the heavier than air ma
chine at present enjoys. The Wrghts will not
participate In the contests, but they have the
satisfaction of knowing that their work AZ Day
ton has given an immense stimulus 10 the efforts
OF other inventors. AS they took up the task
which for one cause or another had been aban-
o,.I I fhsr-
deserve the credit OF pioneers. II is safe TO
say that the contests about 10 be held AZ Rheims
and feats like BleTlots few weeks ago would
have been unheard OF for years To come but for
Orvllle and Wilbur Wright. After all. It is not
unlikely that these modest Americans themselves
view with astonshment some of the effects OF
their example.
What must be regarded as a somewhat OK
travagaS interest i'm aeronautlcs just now has
two sources of inspiration. military spirit and
the passion for new forms of sport. No imme-
date abatement OF either is TO be looked for,
perhaps. hut long continuance OF the craze in
its present degree Of intensity seems highly i'm
probable Officers OF the army and navy are
pretty sure In time TO recognize the ease with
which the activities OF an airship be limited.
and their sense Of its value will then CORE
spondingly diminish Concerning those who take
up aviation merely for fun il is less easy TO
make guess yet the public taste in toys
is tickle. The favorite OF one day is likely to be
forgotten the next when substitute can be
found

pTRLJT VACATIONS.

Last winter this city was scandaliZed by the

not Set them an example of extreme devotion to
duty The Committee of one Hundred scolded
the Board Of Estimate and Apportionment the
other day for its comfortable habit of taking
vacation the whole summer long. The Board
of Estimate and AppOrtlOnment 1--WE wish some
body with authority would shorten its name) Is
the great business executive Of the city-of a
city that spends nearly a million dollars a day
and such vacation is against the public in
terest, especially in view of the fact that the
board, even when sitting regularly once week,
never has adequate time to do its work thor
oughly. The Committee of One Hundred COM
plains that the board might better be devoting
its attention To solving traction problems than
cultvating fine variety of tan at the seaside
among the mountains or in doing" Europe
So Il might. Or il might in other ways be set
ting an example of attention to duty to the end
less army of subordinate OfcehOders
Excessive vacations prevail all through the
public service in this city. We know there are
pleas in mitigation. But doubt If the higher
public employees work hard, as long hours IA
day and as many days year as men of CORE
spending rank In private business. Our climate
is fertile excuse, but summers like this when
the transaction Of business is perfectly comfort
able in New York except for few days are
more common than those which afford any real
excuse for the wholesale desertion of business
by our upper public servants.

THE WEATHER BUREAU.

If any criticism were TO be made of the bull
letin of the Weather Bureau in vndicatlon of its
record of efficiency against some recent attacks.
IL would be that II was superfuous. At least
it ought not TO have been necessary. The at
tacks to which it was a reply are pretty well I'M
derstood, and it seems doubtful If Ii was worth
while to take any formal official notice of them.
The bulletin may, however, serve useful
purpose in another direction, namely, that of
correcting occasional error In the. minds of
a few persons of intelligence and sincerity who
lack at times a sufficient sense of proportion.
and who, once in while when the forecast is
not accurate on day in which they are par
tcularly interested, exclaim in their vexation
that the weather reports are never trustworthy.
They ignore the many days of correct prosnosti-

NOT OYER YET.

Senator Bailey is telling his Texas constituents
that thanks chiefly TO his heroic efforts The
Democratic party has ''receded" from the doc
trine of free raw materials. There Is no Doubt
that Mr. Bailey has himself receded, or seeded
and carried with him about half of the Demo-
cratic partys representatives In the United
States Senate. About one-fOurth OF the Demo-
Gratis in the House have also repudiated the free
raw materials theory. Yet it is not clear that
the recession" is an altogether ACCOMPLISHED
fact Under the rules of political warfare. the
Bailey revolutionists may be recognized as de
Tacfo beiigerents, but they cannot properly claim
de ynre control of the party until a Democratic
National Convention has stamped their nro-
gramme as official and orthodox.
The Senator from Texas wants TO de-Rrvan-
lie the tariff policy Of the Democracy. Bur Mr.
Bryan has 10 he disposed of before the marty

Walker and Polk The Nebraska leader has

dicating in favor OF Mr.. Bailey, the one man
In the party with whose interests and amb,tions
his own interests and ambitions have most
persistently clashed. Mr. Bryan has not shown
himself since 1894 very determined aeitator
for a low tariff He preferred 10 make his
three races for the Presidency On what he re-
garded as more promising issues Yet he is so
committed 10 the theory that the necessary
first step toward general reduction of duties
is the removal Of duties on raw materials that
be cannot avoid the issue now raised To Judge
from two paragraphs which appear in a recent
number of "The Commoner," he has decided
not TO avoid IT, The first of these paragraphs
was:
Now LEI the crusade begin for free lumber and
cheaper homes. The timber owners and saw
mill men forced the retention of the tariff on
lumber. Not one American in fifty Is benefited
by the tsrin on lumber, but all are taxed and
besides this tarin on lumber is a bounty on
forest destruction Free lumber and cheaner
homes should be one of the slogans i'm the next
Congressional campaign.
The second read:
The Steel Trust has succeeded in retaining a
tariff on iron and the railroads have pre-
vented free coal. The Democratic programmes
for 1910 should include free coal free iron and

ured iron.
