Texas Talks Prohibition.

Austin. Tex, Jan. r. = Statewide
prohibition is considered the question
of most importance in connection
with the present session of the state
legislature, which convened today. At
the recent Democratic state conven-
tion platform instructions were that
the question should be submitted to
a popular vote, and these instruc-
lions will doubtless be followed.

Inc Bow rhat wins In the Citx.

Drawn is not of much account in
those activities of the city which the
country boy strikes, out for when he
takes the great leap. Nevertheless 1t
has generally been assumed that the
physical stamina of the boy reared in
the open,, with hard work for a heri-
Dtage, makes his venture cityward a
success. "A discussion ON this point
has been started through a recent re-
mark to the boys of the New York. city
college by its president, John Huston
country life. Mr., Finley holds that
the country boy does have the ad-
vantage over the city lad in the strug-
gle, for. the top, and that not because
of bis purely physical equipment.
4 Itjs push, imagination and courage
that open the door of success to the
country boy in the city He has these
qualities in greater degree than the
city boy because his soul has never
felt cramped and confined in the coun-
try and his ignorance and Illusion
really help him during apprenticeship.
The city boy starts in with misgivings,
according to Professor Finley. The
top is beyond him. But the country
boy aims for the top. He has always
bossed something, If only the sheep or
hens. His cutting loose from home is
a cast for fortune. Nothing is too high
for him to aspire to, whereas, as
rule. the city boys road is laid out for
him
,c The Dance as an Aid to Health.
u Extremes sometimes have their uses,
and it may be that the freak dancers
who now challenge public attention
and public criticism by their startling
innovations will bring about a reac-
ton toward sane and artistic dane
ing. Even now there is rivalry at
work, and one of the newcomers, lisa
dora Duncan, makes her appeal as the
exponent of the Greek idea of dane,
ing, the expression of the beautiful in
motion as well as in form. A man or
an ingenious autOmaton should be able
to illustrate this idea and give a per-
Torrance worth viewing.
Dancing as part of a system of train
ing for the body and mind is not new.
Neither has it been confined to dew
otees of tbs Greek cult 1t has often
been practiced in the treatment of GER
tain forms Of ailment, and the modern
tendency to use every available aid to
health is certain to fix attention anew
to the claims of the saltatorial art
The reputation of the dance is under a
cloud. Yet it has served noble pur-
pose in the history of the race. As
well ask people why they laugh and
sing as why they dance. Still, if half
that is claimed for dancing by prophets
of the Duncan type is true, it must be
possible to give a wise answer which
none but cavilers will gainsay.

The Turkish Situation.

The Young Turks are evidently bent
upon making thorough job Of their rev.
oiuton, stopping just short of deposng
Sultan Abdul Hamid. Their military vic
tory at the capital leaves them absolute
masters of the situation. They have pro-
ceeded Systematically and capably with
a minimum of bloodshed and without CIV
ing signs of faetional differences. They
have ordered the arrest of the reaction
aries who are charged with having
brought about the movement of fort
night ago. and at latest reports four
thousand of these advocates of the old
regime had been thrown into prison. One
of the dispatches from Constantinople
states that the sultan may be placed on
trial before the parliament charged with
completely in the reaction, but If, as the
days reports indicate. the triumphant
party is negotiating with Abdul Hamid
for his retention of the throne with a
material reduction of power, there is lit
tie likelihood of a judicial inquiry into
the recent events with the sultan as chief
defendant doubtless the successful
Young Turks will take precautions to
prevent another setback and will exact
guarantees from the sultan insuring at
least his good faith. He is to be given
final chance, even with a black record
scored against him; so reverent are the
people themselves for the sovereign in
whom is supposedly vested all the ira
ditional authority of Mohammed. The de-
cision to- retain Abdul Hamid on the
throne, however. may have been inspired
by considerations more definite than the
religious prestige of the sultan. Until the
full record of the revolution is written it
will not be known how potential were
the foreign governments in securing an
adjustment at Constantinople without
the displacement of the aged monarch.
Furthermore, it may prove to be the part
OF wisdom TO permit the sultan to- remain
nominally at the head of the state. His
deposition with imprisonment would mar
tyrize him and afford a rallying cry for
the. reactionary party. AS virtual pris-
oner, but permitted to remain on the
throne. guarded night and day and sur
rounded by progressive Turks. jealous or
their responsibilities and pledged to the
program OF reform, the sultan will in
spire only contempt in the breasts of
his former adherents.

Washington's Zoo.

A few years ago small herd of buff
falo was pastured on the grounds back Of
the Smithsonian Institution as q means CT
preserving the species In a short time
other animals were sent to Washington
as representative of the fauna of North
America, and were kept In small cages
in the same place. The suggestion was
made that Washington should have a
geological collection representative of this
country, and requests were made of Of
ficials Of the government to furnish
specimens. Soon their example was emu
lated by consular officers stationed out
side the United States, and the Zoo grew
rapidly.
Today the geological collection on the
banks Of the Rock Creek is one Of the
foremost in the United States, and is
visited by thousands weekly. 1t is one
Of the show places of Washington and
one of the most valuable of the recrea-
ton spots. Every fair Sunday during the
warmer season the Zoo is thronged with
great numbers of children and their
parents. The educational influence of the
collection cannot be overestimated. School
teachers take their pupils to the park and
explain the habits of the animals and
birds. Visitors to Washington from cities
not thus equipped find in the Zoo a place
of entertainment and instruction.
This is an instance where intelligent
citymaking goes beyond the mere provi-
sion of necessities and reaches into the
field of education. The parks of Wash
ington are conducive to the public health
and are reckoned as Of vital Importance

which they maintain supplements the
schools and stimulates a desire for
knowledge throughout all classes of peo,

Every parent should regard the Zoo as
an objective point of interest whenever
an opportunity affords. Children. are al

creatures. and the Washington Zoo is
particularly well equipped to afford enter

light 1t Is what they long to hear. But

not announcing for another presidential

OPEN Another call would meet with a
response so prompt he would have the
appearance of having been on the way

But we must consider how differently
the two men stand toward their respective
organizations. Mr.. Hearst can dominate
his without running for office. As the
creator and supporter Of the Independence
League, he has no fear that it will err
and stray from his way like a lost sheep.
He can depend upon it, both for his style
platform and candidate. He can take
himself out Of the way without fear OF
seeing Hearstism shelved. and an anti
Hearst man set as shepherd over the
faithful.
Not so with Mr.. Bryan. He faces a
divided household. His friends, it is true,
are in the majority, but might not long
remain so without his guiding hand. Were
he to take himself out of the. calculation
as completely as Mr.. Hearst has done,
the minority, with it's enormous money
backing, might capture and control the
organization. putting Bryanism to sleep.
and selecting for leader some man OF

The Senate and the Tariff.

Last weeks debate in the Senate pretty
clearly indicated the tariff situation
there and outlined the opposition to the
Aldrich program. What we shall hear
until the debate closes will be but an
elaboration of what has now been set
before the country.
Mr. Aldrich is between two fires. On
the one hand he must meet those west
ern republican senators who want lower
duties on certain articles, and on the
other hand the democratic senators. al
most to a man, who not only want lower
duties but, upon the ground that the
Payne bill as amended by the Senate
finance committee will not produce suf-
ficient revenue. want an income tax. He
might have easier sailing with either
were t'other annoyer away. He Is not a
happy man today. and his woes may in
crease.
1t is likely that the income tax propo-
sition will afford the most interesting
text of all. More revenue must be found
say the democrats and an income tax
would amply supply the need. There can
he no doubt that in all sections of the
country but particularly in the south
and the west. a strong sentiment supports
the suggestion of tax on incomes. Fif-
teen years ago David B. Hill character
ized the proposition as populistic. Today
II finds advocates among both demo-
Gratis and republicans.
If Mr. Aldrich defeats this tax at this
session il will be by a demonstration
that the country does not need it; that
the new schedules without it will sup
port the government. Then that as
SIlrance will De nut TO the test The
new law will have trial of six months
before Congress meets in regular session.
II in that time the revenues run behind.
additional taxes will have to be laid, and
contest may arise between an income
tax and an inheritance tax. Which would
win?
The President thinks favorably of both
taxes. Which he would urge in the emer-
gency suggested is a question. He is
urging neither now. although he has sug-
gested an inheritance tax. He might
suggest it again.
As for Mr.. Aldrch, if he wins now,
and yet loses in the operations of the
new law. he will find his prestige dimin-
ished next winter when the revenue sub
ject is reopened. He wifi confront the
failure of his prediction about the reve-
nues, and be at disadvantage on that
account in the debate to the levying
of the necessary new taxes.
The month of May invites to green fields
and strolIs beside still waters, but our
national legislators will have to decline
the invitation this year. The four walls
of the big house on the hill will prison
make, and jailed there, the statesmen
must do their duty.

Hearst and Bryan.

At dinner eaten by the independence
League of New York the other evening,
William r. Hearst took himself out Of
all calculations about office. He told his
friends that he did not desire Office, and
would not be candidate again. He
spoke confidently as TO the future Of the
new organization. He saw the country,
tired OF both of the old organizations,
turning TO it as the sole hope of good
government He was enlisted for the
war. He would do ali he could to for
ward the aims and ends Of the organiza-
tion. but not as a candidate again for
any Office.
Now If the democratic party heard such
an address from William ]. Bryan how
happy many of its members would be!

School Fairgrounds and Gardens

In the news columns of The Star today Is
printed a statement of the needs of the
school Fairgrounds for their equipment
and use during the coming summer. 1t
is estimated that for the sum Of $1,000 1t
will be possible to keep eighteen of the
school yards open for at least two months
for recreation purposes and for the main
tenance of small gardens. AS one means or
meeting this requirement envelopes have
been distributed among the school children
for later collection with such contributions
as they may be able to make to the fund
1t is to be hoped that the entire amount
needed may be raised in this manner.
There are approximately $4,000 school
children in the District. If each of these
gave 5 cents the full sum would be con-
tributed. -.
1t is unfortunate that the public play
grounds of the District should be ham,
pered in their usefulness. by the lack of
funds. Congress has grudgingly given
small amounts for the maintenance of the
spaces set apart for Juvenile recreation.
A poorly supervised playground is apt to
be menace rather than help to the
children. 1t seems contradictory. AND yet
it is true that the youngsters must be
their sports in order to insure moderation
and safety for all ages.
1t Is proposed this. year to combine the
school garden work with the school play
grounds, which have been lately sep
arated from the municipal Fairgrounds
and brought under the Jurisdiction of the
board of education. II the children can
be given a sense of ownership In the
grounds and gardens they will take a
greater interest In them and will be more
jealous in protecting them from injury
and invasion. !.
1t is for. this reason that it would be
desirable, as long as 1t is necessary to
raise funds by subscription, to secure
the entire amount from the little folks
themselves, so that they will look upon
these places as their own. To this end
1t Is to be hoped that the parents. will
furnish the pennies necessary for. a suffi-
Client collection when the envelopes are
turned in to the teachers. The parents
themselves have a large stake in the mat
ter. A series of well managed play
grounds will be the guarantee to them
that their children are being kept out Of
harm during the greater part of each day
this summer.
