A MINUTE TO DECIDE WHERE
WASHINGTON STANDS.

Washington will soon be brought
face to face again with the question:
Shall we dig our hands into our
pockets to pay for public Fairgrounds
The answer viii be easier in view of
the following terse information:
Carefully compiled statistics show a
comparative lesseniIg of % per cent in
juvenile convictions within the half
mile radius of Chicago's South Park
Fairgrounds.
These Chicago Fairgrounds, the most
expensive in the world, cost SI.76 for
the establishment, and % cents year
for the maintenance to a man taxed on
$4,000.
Fifty-seven out of one hundred of
the largest American cities have public
Fairgrounds. The total number of
such Fairgrounds in the American
cities in 1907 was 836, and the total
acreage was 700, so that the average
was less than one acre.
OF these fifty-seven cities, thirty y-five
have adopted Fairgrounds within the
last five years.
The huge sum of s2s,5OO,OOO has been
spent on public Fairgrounds 10 date,
and the aggregate cost of maintenance
is S9O4,l0 a year.
In twenty-seven cities the play
Grounds are slIDDortpd from the civic
funds; in nine they are supported by
private subscription; in eleven they
are maintained by both private and
public subscriptions.
1t will not take a minute to con this
information. Read it. Then decide for
yourself if Washington is TO stand with
the ffty-seven progressives or the
thirty three standstills.

after fifteen minutes study of the
planet with a spyglass, as an outsider
could reorganize this cotton schedule.
And so of many other schedules. l.
may have been the custom in the past
to make tariff measures in this way; /;
but it was never right, and it was al
ways scandalous. 1t is scandalous TO-
day, and this is no fit time for encour
agement of a too popular impression
that there is more scandal than state
craft in the making of a tariff.
The light should be turned on. The
people who have to vote on the bill
must insist that they know all about it.
The country is going to find out about
it; but the time to understand is right
now; not after the measure has passed.
Enough is now certainly known about
this measure to make sure that it gives
undue consideration to special interests,
and too little to general interests. The
country expects revision in the general
interests. It expects protection; pro-
lection which will guard the American
standard of living. which will guaran-
tee the workingman's claim to his su-
perior scale of wages; but it does not
expect such exaggeration of protection
as shall br,ed monopoly and make i'm
position pc ssible through combination
of producers.
The German tariff commission, a
great body of learned specialists, took
over six years to prepare itself to write
tariff bill. The japanese commits
sion is making an investigation which
will take even longer.
But our Finance Committee finds it
self able in a few weeks of private
hearings with representatives of af-
fected interests, to produce bill; and
then it has so much-or so little-con-
fidenee in the accuracy of its Judgment,
that it declines to let even the mem
bers of the Senate know what took
place in these private seancesl Is not
this justification for the demand that
the light be turned ont

TREES BEAR PALM
FOR REAL OLD AGE
Mooted Question as to
Where the Oldest on
Earth Lives.

The most ancient living thingon earth
is a tree. Exactly where that tree stands
is a mooted question, for many localities
lay claim to IL; but there have been
scientists curious enough TO investigate
the various claims. and We can probably
arrive at a pretty exac': result by q few
comparisons.
Recently somebody has put forth
the claim of the so-calIed "Old Green
Tree Of the Mississippi Valley" which
stands near the river in Le Claire,
Iowa. It's trunk is more than one 100
feet in circumference and its branches
shade a circle Of more than 300 feet
1t was an anc. 9nt three when the first
white man ste I'D under its branches,
and has n place in the traditiSns Of he
Indian tribes OF the Mississippi valley
dating back long, long before the first
white face was seen on the shores of
the Western World.
There are certain yews in England
that were stalwart trees whel Caesar
landed on her sho:es. More than a
century ago a scientist named Ocean
dole proved to the satisfaction of
botanists that a certain yew standing
in the churchyard of Fortingal, Perth
shire was more than $500 years old,
and he found another at Hedsor, in
Buclas. which was S,24O years old at
that time
Humboldt Tefers TO a gigantic boa

TROUBLE BREWING FOR THE
NICARAGUAN BOSS.

President Zelaya of Nicaragua should
consider the fate of ex- President Castro
of Venezuela. Castro's downfall be-
came inevitable when the little die
tator showed his contempt for the
United States. Zelaya's course toward
American interests and American au-
thority has of late been equally con-
temptuous. The Nicaraguan dictator
can't fool all his fellow-countrymen all
the time.
When Zelaya became President. some
fifteen years ago, Niearagua's chances
frightened Zelaya was ambitious and
energetic; he is so today. His pur-
poses have changed; and that's the
principal trouble. Once he seemed to
be a sterling patriot; but now he
threatens to become a confirmed
trouble maker, selfish, scheming des-
pot, whose patriotism has turned to
gold. Nicaragua has suffered, while he
has waxed rich and autocratic.
The death here of one of the Ameri-
cans who secured valuable concessions
in Nicaragua, only 20 get into trouble
with President Zelaya and be badgered
by him, brings up the chief question
pending between Nicaragua and the
United States. The nature of the con-
cessions is not material. As in the
case that brought down Castro, the
problem hinged or the validity of the
concession. Castro had his courts an
nul an agreement entered into in good
faith. Zelaya has done the same thing
IN NiC tragua. 1t was this rotten state
of aifsirs that compelled American con-
cessioners to get the State Department
70 urge the submission of the difficult
ties TO an international board of arbi
tration- Here is the opinion of man
who has had some experience with
methods Nicaraguan or Zelayan:
''It has clearly come to this in the
Central American republics, with pos
sioIy one exception: All is retrogres-
sion. There is no ray Of hope that of
themselves the Central Americans
VIII work 10 higher plane. Under
such conditions there is nothing for
American trade to do but withdraw"
Zelaya has been talking, it seems.
about another Greater Republic of
Central America, like the one that had
a months existence in 1898. Mean
while there is also talk of an uprising
against his disastrous administration,
and the chances are that this latter
movement is the more likely to come
to successful realization.

PHILIPPINE CONSTABULARY
BAND IS GIVEN AN OVATION

played so well that the band was COM

Scharwenka's Polish Dance" which
is not often placed on a band pro-
gram, was one of the distinctive num-

Paderewsh came IN for its share Of
applause.
The pastoral and hunting scene,

program, gave tie band and its spir-

up to their best and they did so 10 q
man. The greeting given this num-
ber was so cordia; that the band play
