Fairgrounds
Buffalo has prospered as much as
any city in America, and Buffalo's
plaverounds have kept pace with its
prosperity In two years the play
ground commission increased the num-
ler Of Fairgrounds in Buffalo from
seven 10 thirteen. and in 1911 those
Fairgrounds were valued at 100000.
and on their upkeep $4,000 was ex-
pended
In terms OF health and strength this
exhibit showed that the average
daily attendance was 500 children.
And in the springtime the Fairgrounds
were equipped with electric lights. so
that over 500 or 500 BOYS and girls.
and many grown-up people. were en-
abled to enjoy health-g giving recre-
alton after their business hours were
over
Richmond has a climate that would
make the Fairgrounds available nearly
every day in the year. and Richmond
has a population that demands play
grounds as an absolute requisite to-
the maintenance Of the vitality. the
character and the life of this city.
The Council has had before it very
many questions involving large sums
IF money. but they have had no ques-
ton involving more in morals and
more in welfare than that of giving
Fairgrounds to the children Of Rich
mond.
When this question comes up to-
night for decision. The Times Dis
patch hopes the Council will unhesi-
tatingly adopt the report, and appro-
pirate the sum asked for. This amount
is only s7.5O0-which is about cents
for each man. woman and child in
Hichmond-and surely the people OF
Richmond can spare one street car

ais. FOR the present and future Of their

PUSHING TARIFF REVISION.

There seems to be general press ap-
prevail of the suggestion of Chairman
Underwood that the extra session of
Congress to revise the tariff should
begin not later than March 10.
Mr. Underwood's program is under
stood TO be- to push work on the tariff
through the committee stage before
the adjournment of the present Con-
gress That this would be entirely
feasible would = appear patent The
changes in some Of ~the principal
schedules have already been forecast
they having been embraced in bills
passed at the last session by the
House. and in one instance by the
Senate also. but vetoed by President
Taft. and any departure from these
changes Will necessarily be immaterial.
Eor the rest it is reasonable to as
slime that in their" deliberations on
the general policy and line OF revision
the majority of the present Ways and
Means Committee have pretty much
reached a conclusion as to reforms in
other schedules. The labor before
them is therefore largely a matter OF
detail
The majority membership OF the
WAYS and Means Committee Of the
new Congress cannot but be little diff
ferent from that of this Congress.
since Of the thirteen Democrats on it,
all save three have been reelected.
and naturally and logically will be re-
appointed There is consequently no
reason why the incoming committee
should not virtually find its work cut
out for it.
There is. however. every reason why
there should be the least possible de-
lay in the committees getting that
work into shape for final congressional
disposition by enactment into law.
There IS every reason why it should
be speedily enacted into law. to the
end of the Democratic panty keeping
faith with the people and relieving
business o. all possible suspense.
The adoption of Mr.. Underwood's
suggestion-the economy of time it
would insure-would render all the
more certain that eminently desirable

went home Friday evening but
nothing was thought OF 1t at the
time. The groom's der arturo Sat-
