PROTESTS AGAINST
LOMAX CRUSADE
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
As q member of that large class who
look with tolerant amusement upon the
uniue notoricty given this murderess,
Matte Lomax. I must excuse myself
for taking part in this discussion. =.
Nv justification Is this. that above
and beyond the ludicrou5 side of this
manifestation of morbid sentimentality
there is being done 20 society a grievous
harm. That narm will flow from the
notoriety given this murderess, and
from the glamour cast about this sordid
crime. there can be no doubt This,daa-
Serous iufiuence upon the urintelhgent
and the hystericai. from which classes
come-our Inurderers. is too obvious to
need further exposition.
As to the real merits of this discus
siSn. there has been nothing advanced
that is worthy of refutation. The in
consistent and illogical position of these
hgitators is apparent at a glance One
woman writes that this murderess
should not be executed BY "man-made"
prisoned according to ''man-made'
laws. Another complains that CAPITAL
punishment is bad because il deters
tnries from rendering a verdict of mur-
der in thc first 1egree. and then gees
on to denour1ce the Jury who courage
ousIy found this criminal guilty of first
degree murder. And so it goes ad in
finitun.
In conclusion, respectfully subr1it
that such an agitation as this now being
conducted by your paper Is not a hu-
mHnitarian measure, not a great EXPIRES
sion of popular feeling but is. simply
an exhibition by paper. hitherto not
especialiv yellow. Of that morbid SEN
timentality usually evidenced by those
5lase women Who have been known 10

the vifest and mos. sordid of crimes.

THE CHILDREN'S HERITAGE
IN WASHINGTON.

The "last will" of Williston Fish,
now famous as a piece of inspiring
literature, is one of those things that
do not grow old, but rather take on
added qualities with reprinting, and
we therefore feel justified in publishing
it again, for the benefit of our readers
and to draw attention sharply to a
purely local condition that demands
amelioration. If you have already read
this unique will, read it again. IT you
have never read it, don't miss this op-
portunity to do so. 1t is as follows:
1 leave to the children exclusively: but
only for the life of their childhood, all
and every dandelion Of the field and
the daisies thereof, with the right to
play among them freely, according to
the custom of children. warning them
at the same time against the thistles.
And l devise TO children the yellow
shores of the creeks and the golden
sands beneath the waters thereof, with
the dragon flies that skim the surface
Of said waters, and the odors of the
willows that dip into said waters, and
the white clouds that float high over
the giant trees. And l leave to children
the long, long days to be merry In, In
a thousand ways, and the Night and
the. Moon and the train of the Milky
Way to wonder at. but subject. never
theiess to the rights hereinafter given
to lovers.
One cannot read this appreciation of
childhood without being impressed by
the beauty of it's sentiment. "How
true" one saws to oneself, "and how
appropriate. The flowers, and trees,
and sunshine, and brooks are really
the children's heritage. That's what
we all really leave them"
1t is true that nature and out of
doors and the capacity for happiness
is the children's heritage, but do the
children always get it? How about
the children in the alleys, in the crowd
ed residence districts of the poor, on
the baked streets of the business sec
tion3 What chance have they to enjoy
the heritage that we coneede is theirs
They have no chance, and that's the
reason a group of philanthropic men
and women of Washington have estab-
lished in the country near by the in
stitutions known as Camp Good Will
and Camp Pleasant, where children and
their tired mothers are invited to spend
week or two during the hot weather.
The camps are under the jurisdiction
of the Associated Charities, and last
year 5000 mothers and children spent
fortnight at them. This year as
many or more will be cared for, if the
money needed to maintain them is
subscribed. Solicitation of funds has
started, and will be continued until
enough money has been obtained to
keep the camps open all summer.
Washingtonians who want the poor
children of the city to have the heritage
left them in the will of Williston Fish
will respond literally. For $25 tent
can be maintained for the season. The
person who contributes $40 will give
some mother and her baby two weeks
in the country. Three dollars will keep
child in the open for a week.

shows. They fail to realize that what
looks to them like the easiest sort Of
situation is in reality the most difficult.
Drama, is the art that conceals art. 1t
may be that some little entrance or
exit, some little line of perhaps half a
dozen words, has been gone over ard
over for weeks before 1t was considered
sufficiently perfect to be presented to
the public.
Slow to Praise,
But Quick to Blame.
Imagine said Mrs. Wheatcroft,
what thankless work this is. And prob
ably that line slips by without being
noticed by single person in the audi
ence. But let that line be spoken in
correctly. or that exit be awkwardly
made. and see how soon the critics and
the public would protest. ..,
''An Of this, the diversity of the train
ing. the strict attention to details. is
what makes for perfection, and when
you find the girl who is willing to go
over her part a hundred times-perhaps
a thousand times, il the stage manager
demands it-you will find the girl who
will be a success sooner or later"
Mrs. Wheatcroft was asked whether
she considered that a stock company
was the best school for young actress.

Representative Doremus, who was
comptroller of the city Of Detroit before
he became a Democratic member of the
House, has come forward with a pro-
posal for a national public service COM
mission. He favors the creation of a
commission in Washington, to control
and regulate the local utilities and to
assist the other cities of the country
in handling their corporations. Mr..
Doremus is an expert on municipal
government, and his scheme undoubt-
edly has merit, but just now about all
its advocacy would accomplish would
be to head off the establishment of
commission for the District of Colum-
bia. Nothing should be permitted to
hinder the local project at this time.

M'CREARY
COMES BACK
IN KENTUCKY
TAKES THE GOVERNORS OATH
AND RETURNS AS EXECUTIVE
AFTER ABSENCE OF So YEARS
kENTucklAN MAKES HISTORY
WHEN he AGAIN TAKES
SEAT IN THE CHAIR.

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. PAT
ter an absence of 36 years. James B.
McCreary today came back to the
capitol as governor of Kentucky, for
the second time in a third of GEN.
tury taking the oath of office as chief
executive of this state. At the age
of 72 he took the oath of office for
his second term, being the only man
in the country to serve as governor
of state twice with so wide an
interval of time elapsing between his
terms of office.
Escorted by II of the survivors of
the old MeCreary guards, the COM
pany of militia which enlisted under
him when he was governor in 1876,
and by 5000 shouting, joyous Demo
Gratis from all over the. state. with
the entire national guard of Ken
lucky in the line, the new governor
headed the parade through the
streets of Frankfort to the new cap
itol, where the oath of office was
administered by Chief Justice of the
Court of Appeals, Judge James p.
Hobson.
With the swearing in of the new
ernor, there went out of office Au-
gustus E. Wilson. When he went
into office four years ago, Gov. Will
son said he expected to go out of
office the most disliked man who was
ever governor of Kentucky. For a
time during the night rider troubles
in this state, when Gov. Wilson used
the military to patrol the troublous
districts, the governor realized his
unpopularity. But during the last
few months the sentiment has
changed and Gov. Wilson went out
of office at peace, the breaches in
his own party having been healed.
Democrats of Kentucky ce ebra>ed
today the return to power in this
state of the democratic party after
being out for four years. Gov Nc
Creary was elected governor of the
state by a majority of 1885 and the
/ democracy of the state came to th'
capital today to celebrate. The in
augural parade was the longest ant
largest ever known in Frankfort
is estimated that 200 men marched
through the streets behind the COVER
nor's carriage and a score of bras
bands added snap to the occasion.
!, feature of the parade was the march
ing of the men who wore the gra,
and blue, men from both the Con
