thought however that jury reform will constitute the
real important work Of the session. il was upon
that issue that both President Wilson and Governor
Fielder we're defeated at the regular session. Both
men have decided to make direct appeal to the peo-
pie Of the State the issue.
Under the present system the grand iuries in the
several counties Of New Jersey selected by the
sherifs 1t is asserted that such gross injustice has
grown up under that method that public interest and
safety demand that they be selected by commissioners
appointed by the courts Such change however, does
not suit the New Jersey politicians and they are
batting it vigorously. In the regular session all the
influence Of President Wilson and Governor Fielder
was exerted TO put the jury reform bill through It
failed to have the desired effect Since then the
Democratic whips have been at work in all the New
Jersey counties and the fact that Governor Fielder
has called the special session would seem to indi-
cate that he and President Wilson feel confident
they will be able to put it through Il is sur
missed that they scarcely would have taken such an
extreme step without first satisfying themselves that
by doing they would be inviting another defeat
and added humiliation.

Republican United States Senators have decided in
formally not to oppose President Wilson's appoint
ments except in instances in which il may be shown
clearly that competent Republican officials about

already has that he purposes keeping many
competent Republican officials including postmast-
crs in Office until their terms expire. In view Of
that executive assurance the Senators did not think
it would be wise for them to adopt retaliatory pro-
gramme based upon the obstructive work done by the
Democratic members of the Senate in relation to
hundreds of appointments made by President Taft
just prior to his retirement from Office It may be
said in passing however that the Republican Sena-
tors have placed themselves in position which.

PARKS AND THEIR ENJOYMENT.

PARKS AND THEIR ENJOYMENT.
Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Sir. How parks can be enjoyed
more is something worth considering.
What delights child or adult more
than music? Wouldn't it be grand to
have music in Brandywine Park when
the golden summer time rolls around
again this year? Would you like to
see some life in a park noted all over
this country for its beauty? There
is not bit OF life in it for the young.
ster. As a rule, children get tired
playing sometimes, and a little bit OF
music on the side puts harmony in
the hearts OF the children OF today
Music also would make the park more
interesting to the traveller who comes
TO our city. He doesn't want to go
TO park simply to look at the trees
and benches. He wants some life In
the air. The trolley car companies
OF Wilmington ought to get wise and
increase their profits more in the
summer season or the season of park
pleasure. Il would pay them to have
band concert out in this particular
park. Something like that would be
pleasure in Wilmington We don't
want to live in quietness all our days
Give the children and adults some
musical pleasure. to drown missor-
tunes of home life and make sad
hearts glad.
