LEGAL STATUS OF STREET
FAIRGROUNDS.

1t is not surprising to find that q
legal technicality must be removed be-
fore the Commissioners and the Board
of Education can put into operation
the suggestion of The Times regarding
the use of public streets adjacent to
school buildings as Fairgrounds for
school children. In fact, it would have
been surprising if no such obstacle pre-
sented itself.
The objection raised by the Corpora
tion Counsel, whose opinion was solicit
ed by the Commissioners, is not seri-
Gus; it need delay the adoption OF
the street playground plan but tenn
porarily. Mr.. Thomas says:
Though I an compelled to declare the
Commissioners without authority 20 take
such a step, the matter can be remedied
within a few weeks When Congress
meets il can give the Commissioners the
necessary authority
I'm view OF the unanimous indorse-
ment of The Times suggestion by the
District and school offitials who have
been consulted, and in view of the
apparent simplicity of the part which
Mr.. Thomas says Congress must take
1t seems safe to assume that the es-
tabIishment of the street playground has
merely been postponed FOR a short
time. No question as to its desirability
or practicability has been raised.

particularly gratifying feature of the
plan is that, while it is promoting the
interests of the South, it will also be
promoting the interests of the nation.
The movement is worthy of the en-

WOODROW WILSON TAKES
ADVANCED GROUND.

Woodrow Wilson, who has Just re-
signed from the precidency of Prince
ton, and who Is making the campaign
for governor of New Jersey on the
Democratic ticket, has replied TO GER
tain questions submitted to him by
George L. Record, the new idea" lead
er, with the object of showing where
he stands on important issues before
the public today.
Dr. Wilson's replies have been a cause
of no end of comment in and out OF
New Jersey. While his critics accuse
him Of being reactionary, the answers
he has given TO Mr. Record show moth
ing of the sort. On the contrary, they
make it clear he has many progressive
views. The position he has assumed
is the more important because DR.. vii
son just now is in the limelight as a
Democratic Presidential possibility.
Among other things, DR.. Wilson de-
cIares for control of all public service
corporations by public utilities com
missions, for physical valuation of the
property of public service corporations
for direct primary and ballot reform
for election of United States Senators
by direct vote, for employers liability
and for elimination of party bosses
As to this matter of bossism, DR.. vii.
son says:
am very glad 10 tell you, Il elected
shall not, either in the matter Of ap-
poiatments to office OF assent to legis-
lation. or in shaping any part Of the
policy of my administration, submit tc
the dictatiOn Of any person OF persons
special interest or organization.
This letter to Mr.. Record, taken with
the speeches DR.. Wilson is making
stamp him rs anything but one of the
Bourbons of the Democratic party. In
some quarters, it Is pointed out that
after all, there isn't much difference
between Roosevelt's views as express
ed at Osawatomie and Wilson's. It /:
quite true that the Progressives of tn,
country are going to judge DR.. Wilson
if he is elected, not by his utterances
but by his performances. He will have
to grapple vigorously with the con
ditions that exist in New Jersey anC
show that he is a reformer in some
thing more than words before any
thing like full faith and credit will b,
given what he asserts.
Nevertheless, it is sign of a whole
some movement going on in both ot
the great parties when men like Roose
velt and Wilson are impelIed to give
voice to the policies they do in great
campaign like this, and particularly il
this true when it is remembered that
vast and increasing number of tn,
voters are in a temper to insist thai
the professions of the campaign b,
lived up to after election.

MARRIAGE DRIVES
WOMAN INSANE

MONTICELLO, n. Y. Oct %
Driven insane by the excitement of her
marriage to Amos Curry, Miss Minnie
Jemp was removed to the Middletown
asylum. Turning TO her husband at

the ceremony performed by a physician
instead of by a clergyman.
Her husband was formerly at at
tendant at the asylum and has applied
for his old position in order that he
may care for his wife. Mrs. Curry has
never before shown signs Of insanity.
