Who said it, and when? We do not
believe the Plain Dealer ever heard any
body say it. Our misguided contenl-
porary may think it is nationally war
ranted in entertaining the idea set forth.
but it is not. We have yet to note evi-
dence OF Washington's resentment Of
the Presidents visits to any section of
the country.
If Washington might express a wish
a.:t aeve it come true, it probably would
wish that the entire nation could get in
as close touch with the President as
Washington can and does. The nation
would learn that the President is a hui
man being; temporarily the guardian of
great powers and executive functions, to
be sure, but very much human being
nevertheless It would learn to know
that a President frequently Is most mis-

their dearest liberties; that the greatest
climaxes sometimes get the slightest ap-
plause. and that the weakest and most
meIodramatic portions of the performance
ofttimes bring down the house most vo-
ciferously.
Washington gets near and intimate
view of the President and the Presi-
| dency. Better-far better-than all of
that it gets a rational and nonpartisan
view! To Washington he is neither a
Republican nor a Democratic oflcial-he
is the President OF the United States.
Washington does not see in his every act

The Billboard Nuisance.

Any one who has Travelled from Wash
ington to New York must have been
struck by the monstrous signboards that
flash by the car windows for the greater
part of the route. Hideous things they
are: boards built into all sorts of fan
tastie shapes, shrieking at the passerby-
TO the exclusion Of the landscape-of the
merits of this mans liver pills, that
manufacturers shoes, cure-alls, window
screens. toilet articles, and what not.
Along that part of the railway lines
that run through New Jersey the oTense
of these grotesque billboards is greatest.
and it is small wonder that a party of
New Jerseyites, farmers and others. rose
in indignation the other day. and with
crowbars and axes smashed many of the
signs into kindling wood It is probable.
of course. that the advertisers had paid
rent for the space they occupied, and
that the indignant New Jersey people
were violating the law, and yet their
action seems 70 have met with little but
applause
Time and again there have been pro-
tests by the travelling public against the
commercialization of the natural beauties
of the country by the erection OF these
hideous advertising signs. They are
thicker between Washington and New
York. perhaps, than in any other places,
because this is one Of the "Inain Travelled
roads, but no section of the country is
entirely exempt. A traveller who, during
the past year, has been in practically
every State in the Union, testifes that
these advertising signs are to be found
everywhere-in the secret canyons OF the
Rockies, on the prairies of the Dakotas.
on the seacoast at Los Angeles, in the
marshes OF Louisiana No place is
exempt
1t may be within the law to smear the
landscape with these atrocities. but It
has been clearly demonstrated that it is
done in utter disregard of public senti-
ment. and often without regard for pri-
vate rights; and the action of the New
Jerseymen goes to show that when an
evil cannot be abated by other means
the people. long-suffering. viii take the
matter into their own hands. The New
Jersey episode is a symptom which the
billboard advertiser viii do well 10 heed.
For after ali, this hideous disigure-
ment Of the landscape is all so wasteful
and unnecessary. There Is a proper and
dignified channel for advertising - the
daily newspaper; and as a medium reach
ing directly into the homes Of the people

WHAT you OWE

When sou are weary and worn and thin,
And tired always and lost your grin.
And your feet are draggy as they can be.
And there amt no restin' as you can see
Doggone It'll l say. make some rest
Just gab your hat and coat and vest
And drop your work and go away.
Get war cut where the breezes play 4
With the Wild flowers and the trees,
And there Is grass up to your knees.
There'n he work always. long as what
The world KEEPS rlnnin' round It's slot.
Day IN, day cut, tho whole year through;
But there'll be only one Of you
And when you've locked on your last dawn
And your last sunset and are gone
Wherever you're a-g0in' to,
Then that1l be the last Of you,
So far as this world g0es.fso
Say: Rest a littler' And that's way.
OF course You've got to make pile
To leave the kidlets afterwhiie,
You've got to know you leave enough
OF stacks Of the old yellow stuff
Carnegie has piled uD 20 much OF,
And Rockefeller seems to love,
So that whatever comes 20 pass
The little lad and little lass
Can't c0me to want some other year
When daddy aint no longer here.
And that's all right. right as can bel
There amt no kick at that from mel
But you owe them little more
Than Just the stuff 20 tn them o'eT

You owe yourself their shTieks Of glee,
And you owe them long days and glad
Spent playin outdoors with their dad
So If your work begins to grind

is safe axiom that pleasures which Q
young girl cannot enjoy in the presence
OF a chaperon are better left alone.
We are apt to think of a chaperon as
a functionary of high society. but she
is. In reality. infinitely more needed by
those girls who have not the advantages
of the training and higher education that
is part OF the birthright Of the so
called society girl. If more loving and
tender care were exercised; If there were
greater supervision, less reckless leaving
things to chance and the iaexperience
Of youth, there would be less need. We are
sure, OF the reclamation missions and
the sorrow and shame and misery which
these are called into existence to al
leviate. In this matter, as in so many
others, prevention IS better than cure
and it is devoutly to be hoped that tbs
words of Judge De Lacy will be widely
needed, and that the ehaperon viii come
to be regarded as a safeguard Of so
eiety.

ROosevelt's Edict to England.

The first impression upon the average
American mind made by the speech OF ex-
President Roosevelt, when the freedom
of the city of London was conferred upon
him at the Gulldhall. is that it was SO
unexpected that IN spite OF the paradox.
it was just what might have been ex-
pected.
That is the ROoseveltian way. When
was he not given to doing the unex-
pected thing? Since Mr.. Roosevelts ad-
minisTation came to an end, the big

ground Few of US suspected that 1t

England should and should not do, not
only in Egypt, but in India and in four
of the British protectorates in Africa.
The speech may have surprised our
cousins across the sea, who are used "a

THE HEART OF THE HOME.

A Fireplace Gives Character as Well

From the Los Angeles Herald
From the aborigines' fire on fat rock
the steps in the development of the fin
ished fireplace Of to-day have been few
and far between. The crude device
smoked their huts. and our freplaces
oftea smoke our homes.
Poets have sung of the ideal fireplace
one that warns you and is a pleasure 20
behold; one that extends a cheerful well
come TO the guest and is delight TO
dream before-a fireplace that will make
the poorest hut as pleasant as a palace.
They write not of its smoking. its chilli
ing drafts, and nOxious gases.
However, Ideal f1replaces surrounded
with frames can and have been built,
the poets song realized. and all objec-
tionable features eliminated.
The perfect open fire must diffuse and
reflect the maximum of heat from 4
given amount OF fuel without the escape
Of smoke or gases into the room to be
heated, and at the same time ventilate
uniformly.
Large sums Of money are often spent
on the mantel or frame and the fireplace
itself is left TO the mercy of someone who
does not understand its proper proper
tons and construction.
The most common fault in building Is
that the throat OF the chimney is much
too large. This was originally necessary
for the accommodation of the chimney
sweep; and the natural consequence was
that all OF the warm air which should
have warmed the room went up the
chimney
No other way Of heating can ever be a:
cheerful and healthful as the open fire

The Essential Chaperon.

The text of the address delivered by
Judge William II. De Lacy, of the Juvenile
Court, at the opening meeting of the
National Florence Crittenton Mission
Workers. is one that calls attention to
a matter that might well be given greater
heed in Washington Speaking evidently
from experiences CLEANED in the conduct
Of his court, Judge De Lacy urged the
utility Of the chaperon. and he spoke the
truth eonservatively when he said that
'the best interests Of society are con-
served when she is about"
BY society" we are sure that Judge
De Lacy had no reference to what is
meant by the ordinary usage of the term.
He is well aware that society takes
pretty good care of its own in the matter
Of chaperonage. and yet. when 1t comes
to protecting young girls, the mantle Of
protection is hardly less necessary for
the rich than for the poor Among the
poorer classes, of course, the question of
chaperonage and supervision becomes
often most difficult one. for many
girls of tender age and inexperience of
life are forced by circumstances TO go out
into the world alone to earn their own
living. But the mischief does not lie
here; It lies in the recreation period. in
the times of idleness. when young girls
are allowed TO throng the city's streets.
attend the theaters. and remain out,
often until after dark, left to their own
devices.
In this respect there is as much lack
Of care among the daughters of the rich
as the daughters Of the poor. with this
additional falling on the part of the
former, that their parents or guardians
have scant respect for the motto. No
blesse oblige! Girls of sound EDUCATION,
good breeding. beautiful homes are. by
SO much, armored against the ills that
assail their poorer sisters. and the ex-
ample Of their free and easy life, their
independence Of guardians or chaperons,
Is necessarily bad example.
So long as we are living in a free
country there can be no regulation of
such a matter from the outside So long
as young girls in the streets conduct
themselves with orderlness and good he
havior there can be no interference
until the harm is dime The reform IN
such custom must come from the in
side-it must start at the home; and the
duty lies heavy upon the parents Of
young girls to see that the reform is
begun.
No one desires to hamper young girls
or tie them down straitly TO the duties
Of life. cutting them off from the natural
and healthfui pleasures OF youth. bat it
