Swing Fund.

Through the efforts of Messrs
| Jasmin Tobias and Frank Sims. Wht
circulated a subscription list yester
day among the business men of the
community, the swing fund has grown
to quite stable proportions and the
success of the worthy enterprise is
now assured. There is enough money
on hand to purchase several of the
handsome steel lawn swings which
1t is proposed to erect in Louisiana
| Square, and arrangements have beer
made to secure some of the pleas
| ure-glving devices at the earliest
practicable moment.
In the meantime, not near as many
business firms and citizens have con.
trlbuted to the fund as are expected
to do SO. Further donations will be
cheerfully received and .acknowl
edged, and it is hoped that a suffi.
Gent amount will be subscribed to
purchase a few iron benches in adj
dition to the swings, and perhaps
a toboggan slide or some other
amusement device for the children.
Everybody should get together" in
this movement to make Louisiana
Square an ideal open-airs playground
for the kiddies, as well as a. place
of recreation for the grown-ups.
In this connection, attention is call
ed to the contribution Of $125 made
to the fund by the clerks in the To-
bias store. Their example is well
worthy Of emulation by the statesmen
Of the other business establishments
of the city, many of whom avail
themselves of the conyeniences Of
the Square to cool off" for an hour
or two in the evening after the tedi-
Gus labors of the day. Gontribu-
lions of whatever amount will be
gratefully received, and all who do
nate to the fund will have the con-
seriousness Of having performed a
public duty and added to the store of
human happiness.
1t gives us much pleasure to ac-
knowledge a contribution Of 81 to
the fund from George NJ. Plaisance,
an Ascension boy who for some years
past has been located at Birmingham,
Ala. Mr.. Plaisance is a good citi-
zen in every sense Of the term, and
we commend his excellent example to
the consideration of those of our own
people who have not yet done their
share toward promoting the success
of the swing project. Mr.. Plaisance.
accompanies his contribution with
the following kindly letter:
birmingham, Ala, Aug. Z, 1912.
Editor Chief:
Add the enclosed to your swing
fund. / admire the spirit of the or
iginator Of the movement and your.
follow-up work, and hope the chill
dren will get the swings before sum
mer is over
With best wishes,
Yours very truly,

The great growth OF the cities az
the expense Of the rural districts has
worked especially against the So
cialists. whose chief strength in
Germany, as elsewhere, is mainly in
the great centers lottf population.
Five Of BerIin's six delegates to the
late Reichstag were Socialists. as
we're all three Of Habmurg's dele
gates.
The original two parties Of fifty
and more years .ago-the royalists
and democrats-have developed
since the erection Of the modern en-
pire into no less than forty parties.
/ OF these thirteen had representa-
tives in the late Reichstag and
seven delegates moreover were with
out any nominal party allegiance
Disregarding, however, all but the
essential points CT variance between
these various parties, five great
groups Gamble named which compre-
bend fairly the concrete views of all
but the particularistic voters of the
empire. These groups are the Con-
servatives, Center. National Liber-
ais, Radicals ,or Progressively and
! Socialists.
The Conservatives are, above all,
a government, party and the repre-
sentatives OF the great landed pro-
prtetors of North Germany, espe-
cially Prussia, the eastern provinces
of which form their stronghold.
They are strongly monarchistic, OPP
posed to every step that may lead to
a more direct participation Of the
common people in governmental af-
fairs and opposed to the general
franchise, favoring instead "a fran
chise based upon the organic groups
of the people"
The Center or Catholic party is
the strongest party numerically In
the Reichstag and has been the
strongest almost without exception
since 1874. From this it comes that
The Center has always held the, de-
efstve vote on I'll questions and the
government has always had to
reckon with it. Its moving prin-
ciple is the protection of the inter-
