FAIRGROUNDS FORMALLY
OPENED.

Mayor Behrman and Chief Reynolds
Make Interesting Addresses-con-
graduate the Ladies On Their
Success.
Saturday was gala day for the
children of Algiers, because it marked
the opening of the first genuine play
grounds this district has had. To say
that the children were delighted and
appreciated the grounds, would be su-
IperfluOus. The enormous crowd that
attended the opening and the number
who participated in the games were
the best evidences of the success of
the Inauguration of this important
Feature for the juveniles of our dis
trict.
The Fifth District Civic League are
certainly to be congratulated upon the
success they have made, and Mayor
Behrman in his address congratulated
the people on the model Fairgrounds
and praised the women and the men,
bers of the Civic League on the energy
and public spirit which they displayed
in working to obtain the highly desira-
bic accommodations for the children,
also mentioning the quality of the diff
Iferent paraphernalia installed. The
Mayor also took occasion to thank the
Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph
| Company for the grounds which they
so kindly loaned the city. The Mayor
also pointed to the fact that all of the
devices which were in use in the play
grounds were made in New Orleans.
Chief Reynolds also made an ad-
! dress and asked the children to be
careful in their play and also to take
care of the grounds so that they would
! be preserved for entertainment not
for today only, but for the many days
that will follow
Mrs. J. f. Huckins, who was the
prime mover in securing the play
grounds, acted as mistress of cere-
monies and introduced the different
speakers. 1t was through the efforts
of the Fifth District Civic League that
money was collected to defray the ex-
pense of the opening and especially
the music and other entertainments.
Sergeant Cearns has also taken a
very active interest in the Fairgrounds
and he has had stationed there on
frequent intervals a policeman to
maintain order and to keep the Algiers
toughs from taking possession Of the
grounds. On Sunday evening, at a
time when the policemen were chang
ing watches, there was a bunch of
about fifteen or twenty big boys who
took possession of the grounds, took
the footballs away from the young
girls and they had the grounds in
their possession for short while, but
officer Wolverton soon arrived and
they were promptly marched away.
While these Fairgrounds have been
established primarily for the children,
the young ladies (and when We say
young ladies we mean those ranging
in age from seventeen to twenty

other paraphernalia that could be en-
ioyed by the little ones. If there
should be a great demand for a play.
grounds for the young ladies between
the ages above mentioned, no doubt
there will be monster movement to
furnish them with such a place. In
this connection we might again men,

10000 TROOPS
TO GALVESTON
Opens the Way for an Invasion
Of Mexico.
UP TO WILSON TO DECIDE.
Four Thousand Men Being Rushed
To Southern Port Az
a Precautionary
Measure.

Washington. - Alarmed at the
chaotic conditions in Mexico and at
the anarchy that mas seized the re-
rublsess asssess, y nl tts',r f''issf
dent Taft ordered the mobilization Of
the Fifth Brigade of the United States
Army at Galveston.
This brigade, numbering 1000 men
and recruited from the army posts of
the Siississippi Valley, is ordered to
hold itself ready forforeign service and
to equip itself for a campaign that
may last for months or even years.
Within five days the whole brigade
will be in camp at Galveston and be
ready for an expedition into Mexico.
The main purpose OF the expedition
is plain on its face. 1t is not intended
to invade Mexico, but the situation in
that country is regarded as sufficient
to warrant the concentration of a
force strong enough to take possession
of seaport and open the way for an
invasion of the country.
1t will be for President Woodrow
Wilson to determine whether such an
expedition shall be dispatched, al;
though, of course, 1t is assumed that
he will first seek the guidance Of Con
gress. Through trusted agents, though
not directly, the President-elect is un'
derstood to have expressed his inter
est in the situation. and has placed
himself in position to acquire specific
knowledge as to all the details before
he comes to Washington ON March 8
Going a Step Further.
Up to Saturday the War Department
officials had contented themselves witt
the issue of preliminary orders to two
brigades of troops, the First Brigade
first division, in New York State, ant
the Fifth Brigade, second division, il
the Middle West. In the ordinar.
course, it would require at least eigh
days and perhaps longer to gathel
these divisions at one of the Gul
ports, reay for embarkation.
1t has been decided that this is /
greater period of time than can prop
erly be allowed to elapse before dis
patching troops TO Mexico II grea
emergency should arise.
Therefore, it was with the purpos
of saving this time that orders wer
issued for the entrainment of the en-
tire Fifth Brigade, second division, TO
Galveston, the troops being unde
command Of Brigadier General FredeI
ick A. Smith, and comprising tn

EilInInon Must Wait.

Whatever may be the ultimate rela-
tions of the United States and the
Philippines. 1t must be clear to all
reasonable men, as it is to Senator
O'Gorman and other influential Demo
Gratis, that hard and fast pledge to
set up an independent government at
a fixed date. when we cannot foretell
the condition of the islands at that
time, would be the height Of folly.

agree to that, for they confess that

DEMOCRATIC PARTY is ON TRIAL
BEFORE COUNTRY.
Progressive Republican Senators Rav-
ing the Nations Welfare at Heart,
VIII Support the President on
All Proper Measures.

So far as party lines are concerned,
Mr.. Wilson is now assured of DEM
ocratc majority in the senate. 1t
would be vain for him to count on
that Democratic majority as ready to
support him in any program he might
adopt or in any measure he might
seek to drive through the Legislative
mill. In that Democratic senate ma
jority are several members that are
tend to be. Their sympathies are not
with the popular movement which has
been making dig and fast headway
all over the country, but with the spe-
cial interests and their old-time polit-
ical agents, who know how to light
and are not afraid to fight in behalf
Of their cause.
In dealing with his problems In
New Jersey, Mr.. Wilson, as governor,
has said that to advance his policies
he has had occasion to hit few
heads, and that whenever he has hit
head 1t was because there was
something behind 1t which ought not

Mr.. Wilson. as president, to go around
cracking crowns in the senate. Sena-
tors, whose heads might need to be
raped, are very frequently well
armed to hit back. But such pro-
grams as are desired blythe people
of the United States Mr.. Wilson
should be able to fulfill without re-
course to an executive pounding OF
legislative heads. He will be able to
get all the aid he needs from straight
out Progressives and from progressive
Republicans in the senate. There will
be enough of those progressive legis-
lators to enable Mr.. Wilson to make
good to the people OF the United
States II he and the professedly pro
gressive majority of his party in con-
gress really try to make good.

President Taft declared that he saw
in the tragedy only the killing of one
Mexican citizen by another and that 1t
did not constitute cause for interven-

If he should deem invasion of Mex

action.

The Progressive senator-elect of Me-
braska, Judge Norris, announces that
he will wear no party label and be
bound by no party organization. His
obligation he will consider as due to
the people alone, and he will work for
legislation on that basis.
Why not? He was elected by Re-
publican and Democratic legislators.
after he had been chosen by a popular
vote in which he had declared himself
for the progressive policies. He will
be the representative of the people in
the senate-not of any party organiza-
ton.
And, come to think of 1t, isn't that
the sort of representative the people

an explosion of gasoline in garage
destroyed 26 cottages and stores, a

Delaware's largest summer resort,
causing . loss of between $150,O00 and

they are all thought to have been the
