Enid mans father, who gave Lin

the Springfield Convention in 1860.
The grizzled pioneer, it is related,
walked up the isle of the hall car

long. rough rails, on which was
fastened a banner with an inscrip-
tion setting forth that John Hanks
and Abraham Lincoln had split
these very rails on the banks af the
nearby stream twenty years be-
fore.
Joseph Hanks served through the
civil war with the Union army as n
member of Company F, Missouri
cavalry volunteers. He enlisted in
September, 1861, and was mustered
out in November, 1864. At one
time he was a bugler and later was
commissary sergeant. OF the one

regiment at the beginning of the
struggle only 900 remained to be

two little ones throughout the lolg

tablishment of playground for the
children has been agitated through
these columns for many years, but
our words have fallen on deaf ears.
Every town and city of any preten-
sions has it's public play ground.
The people of the progressive New
England towns attach as much i'm
.portance to the town park" as they
do to their schools and houses of
worship. Every small town and
hamlet has it's public play ground
and 1t Is n common sight to see
scores and scores of children romp-
ing and playing and breathing the
pure. fresh, invigorating air every
GUNNER afternoon. The aesthetic

look for it in another. The diver
sions to be found on the streets
and in loafing places cannot have an
ennobling influence upon the youth
full mind. 1t is but n step from the
filth of the gutter to the foul at
mosphere of the pool room, and
yet but another step from the pool
room to the destinations OF the
gambling room. Unconsciously the
youth drifts from the one to the
other and when he awakes to the
real situation it is too late. But
who is to blame? If he had been
provided with the proper amuse-
ments during the period when the
child-mind was reaching out for
diversions it is probable that he
would have drifted just as far the
other way. The question OF a public
play ground is not an idle one.
Every parent is responsible to it's
offspring and the responsibility is
one of such proportions and serious
ness that it cannot be measured by
dollars and cents. Real estate is
enhancing in value every day, and
NOW is the time to act. 1t would
be better to postpone the establish
Snent of many other institutions
necessary to the development of
our city than to delay a matter OF
such vital interest to the moral
welfare of the community as the
establishment of public park.
