Only $4,000, but Let's Have 1t

Indiana is as badly in need of good roads as
any state in the union, except few in the far
west and south of the Ohio river, but this i'm
portant question has been consistently ignored
both by the Marshall and Ralston administra-
tions. Not only has the state refused to give
proper encouragement to the movement for the
building and maintenance of good highways, but
it has also ignored the federal governments Of
fer of $4,000 to encourage good roads in Indiana.
This offer was first made to Governor Marshall,
but the agriculture department received no re-
ply. Then the offer was made to Governor Raj
ston on March and the federal authorities are
still awaiting an answer. True $4,000 is not
much for such work. but it could have been used
in the construction of model roadbed along
some part of the famous National Road for in
stance. The acceptance of the governments Of
fer would also be an encouragement to congress
to broaden the scope of it's road building policy.
If every state followed Indiana's example of re-
fusing federal appropriations for good roads,
congress would rightly consider that the COM
monwealths were opposed to such a national
policy.
Have both of our Democratic administrations
taken the stand that the action of congress in
fringes on states rights?

A Practical Use of Glen Miller

Through an understanding reached by the
city and the Starr Piano company another play
ground for the children of Richmond is provided
This new recreation place is located in the south
end, which section of the city has long been in
need of just such a place.
Public Fairgrounds not only necessary
for the children of any municipality, but for
young men and women well. So far the move
ment in this city has been no more comprehen-
sive than to encourage school children to take
interest in wholesome, health-giving sports, such
as tennis, baseball and track and field games,
but the Fairgrounds movement locally should be
broadened to encourage young men and women,
especially those who spend most of their time
working indoors without taking the proper
amount of exercise, to take more interest in
outdoor sports.
In the parks of most of the larger cities the
most popular features now are baseball dia-
monds, tennis courts, cinder paths for running,
and golf courses One of the principal reasons
for the remarkable popularity of the late Tom
johnson, former mayor of Cleveland, was his
whole-hearted encouragement of outdoor sports
for young men and women in that city. In one
of the large Cleveland parks he had number
of baseball diamonds laid out, also tennis courts
and golf courses, to which flocked hundreds of
tired clerks, factory hands, stenographers and
store employees every day after work. On the
ball diamonds, tennis courts, etc., they got the
proper amount of exercise nature requires and
then returned to their homes, ready for hard
days work on the morrow and very much better
citizens.
There are number of tennis courts in Rich
mond and quite number of baseball diamonds,
but the diamonds for the most part used by
semi-professional teams and the courts are prac-

hcally all controlled by private organizations.
The east end playground is not used by adults
because it is in the possession of the youngsters
nearly all the time. So the average young man
or young woman of Richmond, anxious for out
door exercise, finds place to bat up fly balls,
volley tennis balls or crack out long drives with
golf clubs. Consequently the young man takes
his exercise playing pool in the evenings and the
young woman, pale and nervous from confine-
ment in stuffy offices, stores factories passes
away her time at her home, at the theaters or
at dances.
At Glen Miller park there are any number OF
acres which are not being put to any practical
use. Why not fill these acres with baseball dia-
monds and tennis courts, and, if possible, lay out
a public golf course and an athletic field with a
cinder track?

 If the congress does not spend all it's time tinkering with the tariff, it is possible that there is chance for the Alaska railway Gill to pass at this special session.

 The most cheerful item that has ap- peared in the Haines Pioneer Press for many moons is the following: "While we are not at liberty to state the source of our information, we have it, never theless, from a thoroughly reliable one, that the rumor to the effect that the United States troops were.to be with. drawn from Alaska and that Fort Will liam H.

 Whether the standing army is good school for bad boys remains an un- settled question. An eminent attorney, during the trial of case, said that "the United States army bears the same re- lation to the penitentiary that the Sun day school bears to the church" The following item from the Nome Nugget seems to bear out the theory: "Of the six soldiers from St. Michael who are in jail here on the charge of assaulting the native women, the oldest is only 70 years of age. The youngest is about twenty or twenty-one. All are native born Americans and are said to present all the appearance of boys who were raised in good families"

 Even if the legislature has thrown up the sponge on the fisheries question: the voice of the people will not be stiIed. The Seward Gateway says. While the anti fish trap bill Is one
 which will not materially affect this particular section of Alaska, we incline to the opinion, after rather super
 ficial study of the fish question, that the abolition of the fish trap would
 vastly aid the sturdy fishermen. Our sympathies are naturally with the man
 who tolls, and if his condition eau be
 bettered by the passage of the Svlnd-
 seth bill, It is the clear duty of the as@ semb bly, to enact it into law.
