moters evidently based their plans on .
charter which the Maryland Legislature
at its late session granted to the Ameri-
can Aero Exhibition Company. The Star
last April told Of the holding Of two
prize fights to test the right Of the Aero
Exhibition Company to conduct such
athletic contests under the terms OF
its charter. and April 18 The Star in an
editorial said:

fighting has been outlawed throughout

The charter Of this company might be
construed SO that II would have the right
to hold dog fights, cooking mains. horse
races. man fights or other general ex-
hibitions Of science, arts. industry and
athletics One section Of the act Of in
corporation recites:
That the company shall have the power

sciences and athletics. with the right to
exhibit and hold contests thereof and al

cars. install lighting and heating plants
upon it's grounds and to allow space Tor
all exhibits. and to plan and determine
hibitons and contests. with the right
to award prizes and appoint judges and
examiners In the award Of prizes and
premiums"
The preamble Of the act of incorpora-
'tion would indicate that the company's
aim was to seriously promote the science
of aviation. and though athletics is
mentioned. the necessary inference is that
such athletics would be incidental to
aviation. The preamble follows:
Whereas the Aero Club Of Washington,
ID. c., and the Aero Club of Baltimore.
in the state of Maryland. have Jointly
|offered the sum Of $2oo.Ooo for the pur-
pose of securing the international avfa-
|fion meet at College Park; and
Whereas the national government Of
the United States. through its accredited
agents In the army thereof. has recog-
the fields and site at College Park,
Md, as the most available for national
and International tests and exhibitions In
aerial navigation: and
Whereas it Immediately becomes neces-
|sary to ,organize to secure the adoption
of College Park as the central grounds
Of aviation In America where. general ex-
hibitions of science. arts industry and
athletics may henceforth be held"
The preamble appears harmless. but the
mischief lies in the fifth section Of the
act Of Incorporation which has been
quoted.

The Hobo and the Park.

One Of New York's park problems is
the hobo who monopolizcs the benches.
The number Of these men is so great that
in the parks it is said children and nurses
have no ROOM Discussing this question,
the New York Times says:
Since the warm weather set in all the
benches in the smaller parks have been
occupied by ragged, dirty, rum-smelliny
men and women. II is no solution OF the
tramp problem to give the parks over to
worthless loafers. Nor is il any concern
of the park commissioner or his subordi-
mates where the tramps may go II they
are driven out o. the parks. This Is a
problem which all cities have had to con-
tend with in summer. Sometimes II has
been forcibly attacked here and the po-
lice have refused to let hoboes occupy all
the park benches and slumber in the sun.
Lately the police have let the disreputable
benchers rest and the condition OF the
smaller parks has become a public
scandal
ington has not yet been confronted In
all the parks Of the city, children moth
ers and nurses are at home. The little
ones gambol on the grass or play in the
shade Of big trees. Park police keep
watch and life in the parks goes happily
on. The tramp and the man who Is
down and out rest in the parks here and
there, but they may not sleep there
Sleeping on the benches Is against the
rules and the rules are enforced.

The Tariff, Now and Later.

With reciprocity with Canada under dis
cussion in the Senate. and the WOOL
schedule the topic in the House, We shaai
have the tariff with us by a laree
majority. Reciprocity may not be dis
posed of before August. The Senate Is at
all times leisurely. and particularly so
when playing politics. Wool Will not
last 80 long. The leaders in the House
can call time on debate. and will do so
in this case in ten days or two weeks.
Reciprocity. we are told. will prevail
and become a law The necessary votes
will be gathered from both parties. The
opposition also will represent both parties
Mr.. Underwood's wool bill will pass the
House, but be brought to halt IN the
Senate. So sure are the wool interests
that such is the program they are re-
naming perfectly calm. II they reared
favorable action by the Senate and the
Presidents approval they would be in
state Of agitation.
There is talk about House action on
other schedules-on cotton. sugar. metals
and so forth. But II those schedules are
revised in separate measures and sent to
the Senate, they will goat least so far
as the extra session is concerned-the
way of the wool schedule. They will
Finger in blissful repose' in the pigeon
holes Of the Senate finance committee
What. them about the tariff at the regu-
lar session? What additional schedules
will the House handle next winter and
spring? And what will the Senate do
with them and with those 1t has already
in its possession? OF more discussion
there is q certainty. The democrats OF
the Senate may try to force the hands
of the republicans Of that body. with
view of getting a vote on some feature or
features of their program. but it does not
seem likely that any Of their measures
shaped as some will be expressly for re-
publican disapproval-will go through
Shall we see the tariff issue in the next
campaign take the form of Canadian
reciprocity as an accomplished fact. and
a lot OF revised schedules proposed by the
House and either halted or rejected by
the Senate? Is that to be the answer to
the verdict of last November II SO. the
Payne law. with but the changes pro-
duced by the Canadian pact. will still be
running. and the voters asked the second
time to pass upon it. And IL the demo-
Gratis win-carrying the presidency and
the Senate along with another House
will they adhere to their present program
OF schedule-by- schedule revision. and re-
offer the measures the republicans shall
have halted? Or, with full control of the
legislative and executive branches OF the
government. will they take up the Payne
law in its entirety. and handle every
provision it contains repugnant to them
and their party professions?
The wrangle over credit for reciprocity
should be lively. While thA President
negotiated IT, his work would have failed
without democratic support. So the coun-
try. in the role of Little Nell. will have
to decide as to whether in that matter
Goblin or Short was the real friend.

The millionaire degree.
He wasn't different q bit
From others that you see.
He could have bought clothing store
Most any he might choose.
And yet one coat was all he wore.
And just one pair OF shoes.
He only ate three meals q day,
The simple truth to tell:
And didn't eat all those. they say.
Save when he felt quite well.
He had some splendid mansions near
And In q distant cline,
But couldn't live In them, we hear,
Except one at q time.

Could listen to with ease:
