Cover nor Wilson's speech OF &C
ceptance makes it perfectly clear
that he does not intend to be led
away from the dominant issue Of
this campaign-the reform and re-
vision down ward of the tariff into
any discussion of side issues, or of
questions which are of State rather
than of national concern. His
speech is plea for the administra-
ton of the government, especially
the taxing power OF the government
the greatest of all powers-in the
interest OF the whole people, and not
for the benefit of any special class
or private interest. There is the
ring of genuine Jeffersonian democ-
racy in every line of it, and no man
can read it without realizing that
Wilson does not merely profess. as
so many public men are in the habit
of doing, belief in Jeffersonian de-
mocracy, but that he understands
what Jeffersonian democracy is, and
that it was what cannot be said OF
most of its protested ad vocates-Bal-

Governor Wilson's spe ech OF ac-
ceptance is distinguished by the
moderation and restraint which
are its dominant characteristics, by
it's rich diction, virile expression
and statesmanIike quality. Selected
by bis party because he stood for,
or was supposed to stand for, the
most advanced doctrines of pro
gressiveism. the Governor of New
Jersey makes the keynote OF his
campaign a calm and sober state
ment Of the great governmental
economic and social problems that
await solution by the American PEG
pie, and shows the mental attitude
with which he would approach thu
great task of finding the solutions
should he be intrusted with the re
possibilities of the presidency

Land Will Be Ussd AS Playground for Children Hereafter and Closed at Night.

2 sonisectinn with the resolution of AIdefynan William J. Moran pass ed iii the Common Council last night relative Eto the closing of gates at Lafayetfe park, President George M. Flames of. the Park board said today: s"The park has, not as yet been open- ed to the public this year. We have just got the steel fence around the park and have had the gates closed until such a time as we thought it best to open them. The park as a place for people to lounge and lie around to get fresh air was a failure because there was an element that made use of 1t which was disgrace to the neighborhood.-
 "The Park commissioners believe that the park land can be better utilized as a playground for children of the neighborhood who would bet ter appreciate it and for that pur- pose we propose to keep 1t for their use rather than to let 1oafers and bums hang out in it. It got so that respectable people could not use the park because of the rough element which found it's way to the park ev- cry night. As a playground the land will be better appreciated"

Republican Leader In Em

New York June 4-Charging that Roosevelt, in his statement issued at Oyster Bay, last night, attacking Senator Root, declared purpose to "subvert the government to a despot- ism," William Barnes, Jr., leader of the Taft forces, today, hotly replied to the Colonel in part as follows:
 MT. Roosevelt is now absolutely in the open by his declaration that the principles, as he puts 1t, enacted at the Rochester convention are. not merely revolutionary but bourbon and reactionary.'
 MT. Roosevelt is a clever politician and usually has been able to conceal his subconsciOus mind but in the statement which he issued, yesterday, he clearly portrayed that his ultimate purpose is the subversion of our gov- ernment. That has been clear to me for years through an intimate knowI. edge and a study of his basic charac- ter. 1t chafes at all restrictions, and, under the stress of this conflict, has openly betrayed secret recesees where in are nurtured passionate ambitiono to use apparent popular favor for the destruction of the constitution, an im- pediment to the realization of these ambitions
