PARK NEEDS CAR SERVICE.

When the park commissioners hit upon the idea of holding a band con- cert in Mohegan park it was recog- nized that it would serve the double purpose of providing entertainment for the public and at the same time most effectively show of the attractive fea- lures of the handsome recreation spot. The idea was well conceived and exc cuTed. Mohegan park is something which the city can justly feel proud in possessing. It has justified every confidence that has been placed in the proposition and each year is moving towards the goal which was antici- pated by the donors ana its advocates. Its attractiveness and value 10 the city are increasing each year and the great or use made Of it the greater the ben eft received
 Ordinarily it would not require the attraction of a band concert to call attention 10 the beauties of Mohegan park. but band concerts are always a valuable consideration for every city and the combination could not have been better arranged. Wherever it can he had. at home or at summer resort a band concert is always a desirable feature in the way of entertainment AA keeps tue ptoplt ID IeStel al nome The many hundred who were present showed their appreciation, but there was also shown uhe need of better ac- commodations for reaching the park.

CUSTOMS REoReANIzATleN.

Secretary McAd doc is actuated by past recommendations in the reorgaE- ization of the customs department for the attainment of efficiency and econ omy. Through his changes and the elimination of many offices by consol- idation of several into one the govern ment will be saved probably a half million dollars yearly. This is in sc- cerdanee with what good business de- mands. The past system has eutlived It's usefulness. Collectors were retain ed at ports al salaries many times the small amount of revenue collected. Such ports in their prime had been im= portant contributors to the revenue collections. but changes have left them practically neglected and officials were being maintained there at distinct loss 10 the government There was a glaring need for economy which new has been recognized as a geed sug- gestion from the past administration.
 Whether efficiency is being stimu- lated by the widespread resignations which are being called for. not only from the offices which are being abol- ished but from those which are being retained. is doubtful. Because men in sympathy with the administration are being put in place of those who are thoroughly familiar with the duties of the office of collector through eXperi- ence, does not insure that the service will receive any better attention, or that the revenue will be collected any more closely. Meritorious work in the service is due for as much recognition as meritorious work in the party.

ADMINISTRATION HANDICAP.

The McNab- -McReynolds incident does not blow over as quickly as the administration would like to have it especially since demands for the resig- nation of the cabinet officer have been made and charges have gone forth of an efort to hinder the enforcement of a great moral reform. IL is the part which the entire incident has played in the holding up of the administration of justice which has made it more ElarinE and unreconcilable. The effort of Secretary Bryan to throw his i'm fuence with the cabinet officials who have been concerned in the affair fails 70 clear up the situation simply be- cause there was nothing throughout the estire matter which was in accord snce with justifable procedure
 Secretary Reynolds listened to the inportuning of Secretary Wilson in be- half of Commissioner of Immigra ton Caminetti whose son was one of the principals in the white slave case This was done and the trial of the cases delayed against the repeated and in sistent advice of District Attorney Me Nab Little or no consideration was given to the demands of the case call ing for early administration of jus tice in California The interests of the country in enforcing this reform was disreg9rded for the convenience of the gove stlment officials. This on top of the excise tax on tobacco proposed by Secretary McReynolds to the embar- rassment of the administration only points out the weak spots in the cab inet. and even the Bryan decision of approval is unable to whitewash the handicap which still exists.

ARMlNe MERCHANT VESSELS.

Not in anticipation of any expected trouble. but to be prepared in case the situation developed whereby it became necessary to press into service the merchant vessels for war purposes, England is now arming several of the large ocean liners which were con- structed with that understanding. They will continue their regular service but they will carry a number of mounted guns which makes them reserve to be called upon at a moments notice. By arming them now the delay which would be caused if it was postponed until an emergency should arise is overcome. Two big merchantmen now carry guns on their decks, the Lusitania is being equipped and as soon as business will allow the Maure- tania will be furnished with for midable defense.
 This country does nothing of the kind but it is the practice of Germany and Japan to so take time by the fore lock that they are ready for most any emergency through the control of merchant vessels if needed. This coun- try would have to resort to the slow process of buying up merchant vessels for any such use as it might have for them in case of trouble. as it did dur ing the Spanish war. Great Britain has, however. taken an extra step con- corning merchant vessels which can not but interest the other leaders in naval standing. It is a move in the time of peace which may only serve to strengthen the insurance of its con- tinuance. but if the other countries find it necessary to follow the example there is no telling to what limit it may pp

Then as the men put off, looking back in silent tribute he clambered back to his post beside the captain and stood, his slender figure outlined against the night sky, strain ing his eyes after the departing boat until it was swallowed up in the dark ness.-Beston Post.

 The fog lifted as if from the force of the blow, disclosing a huge black hulk, vague in the darkness, which, towering high, was drawing slowly away from the crushed, already set ting mass which had once been the gallant cruiser Avenger. The water rushed in through a gaping hole in the starboard side. On board white faced order reigned; boats were launched life preservers donned men divided into groups to await their turn for the boats. On the bridge a little group gathered around the cap tain, who, his grizzled face white un- der it's bronze, stood directing now this, now that, in a voice whose calm strength gave courage to the weakest. Boatload after boatload shot off to- ward the vast, waiting hulk close by, and disappeared in the heavy dark ness. And all the whole time the Avenger settled lower and lower in her Watery bed.

HE HILL TOWNS, NEED.

When President Thomas of Middle bury college in Vermont gave the bac- calaureate address this spring he se- lected a timely topic when he referred to the small hill towns of that state and their need of the educated men today,' It was an appeal which every member of the class could appreciate but the value of the point he made reached far beyond that class. The backward towns have suffered by the lure of the big cities. The changes have been such that there is need for the social settlement there as Dr, Thomas declares.
 This does not apply solely to Yer mont for. as the Springfield Union says: They are needed there and in the hill towns of Massachusetts, New Hampshire. New York. Connecticut, Maine and any other eastern state, just as much as they are needed in the slums of the big cities. Lack of com mon facilities. isolation from the rest of the world. careless methods of Hv- ing, the monotony of the daily grind and the hopelessness of the people have brought a lower standard of nor ality and a disregard for the conven- tions that cause critics to declare the hill towns 10 be decadenI II would not take much to stir these towns into activity again-such organizations as the Hampden County Improvement league. the league in Burlington coun- ty Vt. and other places, already are accomplishing things"
 It is an opportunity for some excel dent work in which men of educa- ton can play an important part, but it requires. as Dr. Thomas indicates " men of the right caliber and the right power. consecrated to the work as only religious faith can consecrate" and not only in this work. but in bus mess advantages do the hill towns still hold out opportunities for the educated and ambitious.
