no PLAYGROUND IN THE PARK.

The Park Commissioner appears 10
have seen a light on the playground sub
iect. Time was when he appeared to
favor fantastic scheme for surrender
ing Central Park, or q considerable part
OF it. for ball grounds, diamonds and
gridirons. wading and swimming pools,
cinder tracks and the general appurte-
nances OF Fairgrounds Less than year
ago he was conspicuously associated
with n movement TO that end, in which
elaborate plans were prepared--by some
body outside of the Park Department.
and large sum of the peoples money
was appropriated for the destruction of
the peoples park. Since then, however.
some things have happened, aud Mr..
Stover has placed himself on record as
holding TO the sane principle that parks
are parks and Fairgrounds are play
grounds To that principle he now adj
heres with confidence that the public
appreciates his attitude.
In this there is cause for qualification,
emphasized strongly by the recent expert
OF Central Park. That great pleasure
ground is in an unsatisfactory condi-
ton at this time largely because of the
extent 10 which it has already been used
as a playground. The lawns have been
trampled upon until the grass has been
destroyed, while shrubs and trees have
been broken and killed in great numbers.
This damage has been done simply be-
cause OF q relaxing of the rules 10 n
slight degree. What would happen If
the playground were established there
may easily be imagined. The park MS 4
park would practically cease TO exist.
With the demand for q playground We
have strong sympathy. Indeed. we are
ready to concede that Fairgrounds are
needed almost as much as parks. But
It would be the height Of folly TO create
one thing which is needed by destroying
another thing which everybody acknowl.
edges to be needed at least as much.
Apart from the cost of the ground, n
playground could be prepared elsewhere
much more cheaply than in Central
Park. If the park were taken for play
ground all that has been spent upon It
TO make it park would be lost, and
worse than lost, for the city would have
to 90 TO great expense 10 undo the work
which at great expense has already been
done Then, when a playground was
created i'll the costlIest possible way we
should have TO go 10 work either to de-
stroy it and recreate the park or to
create new park elsewhere Mt enor
nous cost. 1t would be immeasurably
less expensive and more expeditions to
let the park remain park and to create
a brand new playground elsewhere. In
that way we should get q better play
ground than could be got by sacrificing
the park, and the park would be pro-
tected from most Of the vandalism from
which it now suffers. :

THE GAMBLING INTERESTS AT
WORK.

The repeating Of the anti gambling
act Through stonographer's error
which would have taken place had the
bill reported by the Senate Codes Com
mittee been passed. Is one Of those "acci-
dents" always TO he looked for at this
stage Of the session. But probably the
gambling interests will he bold enough
t. attempt directly to open the way
again for racetrack gambling in this
state. They have Legislature con
trolled by the old Tammany allies, and
the attitude of the Governor is doubtful.
If gambling is ever to be restored, now
is the opportunity. Public opinion must
therefore be prepared TO resist any sur
render Of the ground gained under Gov
ernOr Hughes.
How bold the gambling interests are
elsewhere is shown by the passage in
the state Legislature Of Colorado Of n
bill directly and explicitly permitting
gambling on the racetracks in that state.
Governor Shafroth has vetoed the bill in
an indignant message, but it is expected
that the gamblers will be strong enough
to secure its passage over his veto.

PAYING MILK PRODUCERS
A Word Regarding Ignorance as to the
Expenses of Dairy Farmers.
Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: one side OF the milk question does
not seem 10 interest cities-that is the
farmers side. No one who has not
watched 1t closely has the least idea what
life on a milk farm means Ii means Sc
we're. painstalsing. unfagging toll early and
late seven days OF the week. 1t means
constant outlay for cattle. feed. help.
buildings, Improvements, utensils. horses,
wagons and transportation. II the season
f. dry and water scarce the labor Is about
doubled. 1t IL proverbial that at best
farmers and their families have IA scant
allowance OF ready money. which often
means debt and mortgage and carking care
added to toll.
II is most unjust that many prosperous
milk dealers in towns and cities delay
payments 20 these farmers as they would
not dare to no with other creditors. Farm

THE MAYOR AND HIS CHARTER

The Mayor, In a public statement re-
garding the so-called Gaynor charter
asserts in its behalf that there Is not in
II "a substantial change from the pres
"ent charter which was not taken from
"the recommendations Of one or more
previous charter commissions" The
two most recent charter commissions
were of the opinion that the Board OF
Estimate, as at present constituted OF
administra tive officers, had too much 10
do. One Of them proposed to remedy
this situation by taking away from the
borough presidents their administrative
functions, while the other proposed TO
eliminate the borough presidents from
, the Board Of Estimate and Apportion-
ment, replacing them with elected com
mlssioners who would have nothing 10
do but act as members Of the board.
The Gaynor charter proposes 10 keep
the Board of Estimate as II IS and pile
upon II large part Of the duties Of the
Board of Education.
Is there any good reason to suppose
lilHJ lu'St IUitllOllN NOUiu ft Us We'll
performed by the Board of Estimate as
by an independent Board of Education ?
The present Board of Estimate IS more
than usually competent, but hasn't II got
it's hands full? Does its management
OF the subway situation indicate that 1t
has abundant energy and capacity 10
spare for new and important duties i:
It's predecessor did not enjoy a reputa-
tion for doing anything well. Would
the schools have benefited from its ad-
ministration?
Similarly Mr.. Gaynor thinks that The
Mayors power over the Board Of Edu-
cation should be increased. As II Is now
che is really ont Of touch with IT," With
public education made n mere depart
ment Of the municipalities activities,
like street cleaning or the police, the
Mayor could easily find out what was
going on. and throw in Il word now
thrown word now and then into po-
lice management we suppose. We can
see, Of course, why the Mayor would Ike
10 throw I'm word now and then both
as Mayor and as member of the Boa rd
Of Estimate and Apportionment-but
would the public gain? It IS not worth
while 10 abandon the system of an IN
dependent Board of Education, which
has been approved by long experience
not only here but elsewhere, merely in
order to aggrandize still further the Of
flee of Mayor.

UP. BERGER ON SWADDLING
CLOTHES.

Why should Mr.. Victor Berger, the
only Socialist in Congress, he SO impa-
,ient with the federal Constitution and
50 eager TO have ii remodelled: the
Constitution is the Socialists best friend.
So long as it exists in its present form,
"antiquated. Outworn.' and all that, the
Socialists in office will never really
have to show their hands. They can,
like the Socialists in Milwaukee, look
with a sympathetic eye upon progressive
movements. but excuse themselves from
really putting their fantastic pro-
gramme to the test by pointing ut the
Constitution as forever barring the way.
l. will be the Socialists good excuse.
Some men 60 through life with the good
excuse of bad health or extravagant
and incompetent wives. and the world
pardons their failure. The Socialists. II
they ever get into Office, Will have the
good excuse of Constitution that IS the
mere "swaddlinG clothes Of nation"
But perhaps Mr.. Berger is only taking
time by the forelock and calling gen
eraI attention 10 the good excuse.
That expression "swaddling clothes
in Mr.. Berger's remarks upon the Con
stitution hetrays the youthfulness Of Mr..
Berger's cause. Youth has an unmeas-
ured contempt for swaddling clothes
which society in general does not share.
"a constitution is q cloak for n body
p0itic.' says Mr. Berger, "and must
suit the requirements of the time" But
what are they? Would he hurry the ma
ton into q harem skirt before the fash.
ion has been confirmed?
