SUMMER CAPITALS.

From the New York World
1t is impossible to say how many thou
sand summer resorts there are in the
United States, but obviously President
Taft cannot turn all of them into sum-
mer capitals. He has a decided fondness
for travel he is of a most obliging dis
position, and no President was ever less
given to discrimination between sections
Of the country. But some things are
past human performance.
The Minnesotans are extremely consid-
crate in Offering to furnish the President
with a summer residence in their State,
but they should remember that there
are forty-five other States, to say moth
ing of the Territories, that are ready to
bid against them for Mr.. Taft. No State
is going to let its summer resort busi-
ress be sacrificed for the sake of boom
ing that of some other State, If 1t can
help It. OF course, a few States might
be willing to compromise by furnishing
Mr.. Taft with spring, autumn, or winter
capitals, but unfortunately circumstances
require that Mr.. Taft shall spend a GER
tain amount of his time in Washington.
The day may come when every State
will be able to boast at least one sum-
mer resort displaying the advertisement
that 1t was President IS summer
capital, just as all up and down the At
lantic States 1t is pointed out that
Washington slept in this house"
The Washington herald., 1911-06-12

the fact that the hsrmonious and effect
i've management Of the House since
the Democrats came into control has
surprised not only the opposition. but
the entire country. He is a man Of
such great force, so magnetic in his
personality, and 50 attractive in his ora
tory that he could be a this juncture
a tower of strength for his party. II
he would pull with his fellow-Demo-
Gratis instead of against them; If he
would labor for harmony instead of
endeayoFing to foment diseord; if he
would occasionally find something to
praise instead of indulging In constant
criticism-if he would do one or all Of
these things, he would help to make
his partys victory all the more certain.
The Democrats viii not however, be
discouraged by Mr.. Bgan's attitude
He is injuring himself more than he
Is hurting others.

CITY PARKS.
Enormous Service Performed by
PhiIadeIphians.

Enormous Service Performed by
PhiIadeIphians,
FFum the Philadslphia Public Ledger.
In movement which has called for the
active labor and cooperation Of so many
diverse elements it may seem invidious
to try to apportion special credit to any
one Of the participants, but no one at all
familiar with the history and achieve
ments Of the City Parks Association Of
Philadelphia win fail to recognise the
enormous service performed by 1t for the
city planning movement That movement
Is truly comprehensive one, of course,
and involves many factors Just as vital
as the multiplication and coordination
Of city parks, but none the less the aspect
OF city Identification to which this asso-
citation has directed It's energies is the
center around which the whole reyolves.
II has furnished the inspiration for this
community from which the larger awak-
ening has come.
1t is not surprising that the report pre-
sented to the association, at its annual
meeting yesterday, was mainly taken
up with the record of recent progress,
for It's own labors and that of the city
planning movement, which it directly in
spired, are now reaching a elimination
which should soon carry it forward by
its own impetus. When the parkway
ceases to be little more than a scar. when
Its possibilities become manifest to the
man In the street and are no longer visi-
BILE solely to the eye OF vision, there will
be no reluctance on the part of any one
to hasten its completion. When the out
lying parks shall emerge from the forma-
tive stage, when civic centers shall be
something more than engineering plans
and when to even the most hardened Phil
istines shall be revealed the vast material
benefits that are the real basis of this
sort OF constructive idealism, the City
Parks Association will have achieved its
purpose, and its service of incalculable
value to Philadelphia will be universally
recognized.

The Door to Success.

From LeslieA
Success is not limited to any class or
condition. An estate valued at close to
81 200, 900 was recently disposed of by the
will Of John Lahey, Of New Hyde Park,
Long Island, the document being signed
with an X, as its author could neither
read nor write. When Lahey, without
any money, came to this country forty
fve years ago he secured a Job at one
dollar day and with the first money
saved he began to purchase real estate.
This enhanced rapidly in value and he
continued to buy in the same farseeing
way, until at the time OF his death he
was worth almost a million dollars.
Peter Aggergard, q Danish farmer of
South Dakota, has been even more sue
cessful, his fortune in lands, stocks and
farm mortgages exceeding at the present
time g, 100000. He. too, arrived in Amer
lea without education Or money. but en-
dowed with natural business gifts and
tremendous industry. Taking up a home
stead in Dakota, he steadily put his
profits into more land, until now he owns
"a, ,4Se acres. When no longer able to buy
at $50 an acre he put his surplus into
farm MORTGAGES.

No Strike on the Southern.

The advantage of arbitration has been
fully demonstrated in the settlement of
the dispute between the firemen and the
officials of the Southern Railway. ..
Instead of declaring strike, which
would have been sesious matter for
all concerned, the difference as to
wages was referred under the law to a
commission which, while it has de-
eided in favor of the fremen, has also
aveFted a crisis. The employees will not
receive all that they demanded, but
their increase is substantial enough to
be satisfying.
The public generally will be thank
full that the trouble has thus been ended.
The Southern Railway has done so
much for the South, it has been so con-
siderate toward its employees, and it is
managed upon such broad and liberal
lines that any interruption to its bust
ness would be little short of a public
calamity. The additional wages which
have been decreed the fremen will add
to its expenditures, and possibly lead to
some retrenchmeut in other directions
This, however, is situation with
which the officials will be amply able
to deal, and the fact that a strike has
been avoided is a most gratifying out
come.

Mr. Bryan Again.

Mr.. Bryan is determined not to yield
gracefully In the current issue of the
Commoher he has words of praise for
the few members of his party who
stood by him upon the free wool propo-
sition, and continues his attacks upon
Chairman Underwood.
UnquestionabIy Mr.. Bryan is entitled
10 his opinions. In the matter of free
wool, however, he was so greatly at
variance with the views of the Demo
Gratis in the House that it would seem
as if he might have accepted their YER
dict and worked shoulder to shoulder
with them in securing the best possible
results under the circumstances. The
wool schedule as it has been framed
may not be low enough to meet the
views of the extreme low tariff men.
but il ought to appeal even to them as
step in the right direction. Woodrow
Wilson had no hesitation in giving the
work Of the House leaders his approval
upon this basis,
It is a great pity that the only dis
tufbing element in the Democratic
party to-day is Mr.. Bryan He seems
more than anxious to create ruction.
He is utterly obIiviors, apparently 70

A Lesson from Baltimore.

Baltimore, like Washington, proposes
to enjoy safe and sane Fourth Of
July There is to be a magnificent naval
pageant, with impersonatiens of Lord
Baltimore and Margaret Brent on board
the Ship of History, and land parade
which will have many unique and in
teresting features.
Here in Washington nothing has
been planned except a display of fire.
works at night, and even this Demon
stration will hardly be a success unless
there is a more generous response to
the appeal for funds. There is no rea-
son why the celebration of the national
holiday here should not be as elaborate
and as entertaining as in Baltimore or
any other city. The manifestation of
public spirit, accompanied by practical
generosity, will bring about this result
The safe and sane idea is spreading
everywhere People have come to
realize that crowded hospitals, stricken
homes, destruction by fire, and a day
of ear-Splitting noise do not constitute
a sensible appreciation of the fact that
we are a great and independent nation.
The patriotic significance of the holi
day ought not, however, to be entirely
ignored. The committee having the
matter in charge is working earnestly
to give the National Capital celebra-
ton worthy of the day, and its efforts
ought to meet with hearty and generous
response.
We cannot afford to let Baltimore
outde US in the matter of celebrating
the Fourth of July.

FIND MONEY IN BEDS.
Sarah Ketcham, of New JerSey,
Hides Fortune All Over House.

Sarah ketcham, of New JerSfy,
Hides Fortune All Over House..
From the Buffalo News
In books. under carpets, and sewed in
several feather beds $500 which Sarah
Ketcham, of Hanover Neck, n. j., had
put away for safe-keeping was found in
her home. The discovery was made by
George Ketcham. a nephew, who was
made administrator of the woman's es-
tate The money consisted of gold dol
lars, French coins, Mexican silver dol
lars, and United States bank notes.
While making an inventory, Ketcham
picked up a book In which were several
bills amounting to 500. This led to the
search. In most every out-of-the-way
place in the house money was found care
fully laid by. Besides the currency a
bank book was found showing a deposit
of more than $500 in a Newark bank.
Some of the coins found bear the date
1859 and many of them command a pre-
MUM.
The woman lived with her sister, Louise,
who died only a short time ago. The sis
ters had several thousand dollars de-
posted in a bank some years ago. The
institution failed. From that time their
faith in banks was gone.
Since the finding OF the money the
search has been continued in all the out
buildings on the place.

CROOKED GAMBLING TOOLS.

Big Trade in Fleeing Devices
Carried ON Throughout Country.
FTom the Chicago Intsr-ocean.
If q manufacturer of dishonest gam
bling tools Rdvertises them and sells
them. and withal does a thriving trade
in them, one who knows nothing Of the
subtleties and technicalitles Of law would
Imagine that somewhere in the American
legal code there is a statute under which
such dealer can be punished.
Dishonest gambling is merely a form
OF thievery. 1t is as much stealing as
burglary. The burglar enters your home
with jimmy and taps you on the head
with the butt Of a revolver, II necessary.
to relieve you OF your wealth. The dis
honest gambler entertalns you, buys you
drinks gives you cigars, tell you funny
stories, and between a joke and an anec-
dote takes your money. The difference
between a burglar and a dishonest gam
bier is the difference between a me-
chanic and an artist. The law Furnishes
them both as thieves, but IT Furnishes the
burglar more severely. The law, you
see, is something OF q connoisseur. It
appreciates art.
But since the law recognizes dishonest
gambling as a felony, It would seem
logical that the law would hold in the
same esteem the manufacture and sale
Of tools that make the felony facile II
not possible
For years there have been firms en-
gagged in the business of manufacturing
and selling dishonest gambling goods
These firms have not been timorous lit
tie fy-by-night concerns, hiding their
plants in out-of-the-way corners and by
ways Of the city. They have large plants
In the heart OF the city. The amount at
which they are capitalized ranges from
Sso,0Oo to $4,000. The volume of business
done by all of them is estimated at
S5OO,OOO annually. The business of one
firm alone is said to reach close to
S2Oo,0O0 a year.
These firms make no pretense at con-
ceaiment. They are frankly in the busi-
ness Of manufacturing and selling loaded
dice, marked cards, poker hold-outs, cold
deck machines, fixed roulette wheels,
crooked faro boxes, electrically and me-
chanically controlled games of all kinds
They advertise their goods like any other
business concerns. They set forth
in glowing detail the exceIlencies of their
wares in circulars, which are sent
through the mails broadcast over the
country to prospective customers.

Possibly the amount which Mr.. Under

might have been collected from a tax on

When can we expect an Underwood bill
on the steel and iron schedule? That in

mans district and is supposed to be con-
trolled by trust.
Having compromised with protectionist
Democrats in order to get the tariff bill
out Of the Democratic committee, how
much more compromise will be necessary
to get 1t through a Republican Senate?
Keep your eye on the tariff bills yet to
be reported and you will see how much
log-rolling was necessary to get tax on
wool.

Trying to outdo Munchausen.

Fish stories have a peculiar vogue in
the warmer months. We do not find
our perception of veracity perturbed at
sea serpent yarns, nor at the reports
brought from the Blue Ridge Club.
We are tolerant to a remarkable de-
gree, for we consider the fish liar in
the same category as the man who
"borrows" our umbrella.
Now comes the denousment. When
Uncle Sam, through the Department of
Agriculture, comes forward and blandly
tells US that the crayhsh are destroying
the foliage on the trees in Mississippi
and Louisiana, we want to take "Tama
Jim" aside and whisper to him that he
has gone beyond the limit of human
endurance.
The report of the Biological Survey
that the well-known shellfsh has be-
come so bold as to leave his burtowed
lair and climb the trees in search of
food leads a eredulous public to de-
mand the facts. We dislike to take
issue with such high authority, but we
must protect our readers. Ere long we
may expect to hear that the crsy6sh
is devouring oranges, cotton bolls,
apples, citrons, and peaches. Before
that time comes we want to enter our
solemn protest against the government
imprint upon stories that are more ro-
mantle than anything which Munchau-
sen ever wrote.
