Morris and Smith were booked to

Atlanta to Extend
Playground System

A movement to extend the city
playground and recreation system
probably will be launched by the
Chamber Of Commerce. C. f. Stin-
son, of New York, field agent of the
National Playground and Recreation
Association, is in Atlanta, boosting
the extension idea.
Arrangements have been made for
George A. Bellamy, of New York, an
expert on Fairgrounds for city chill
dren, to visit Atlanta. A luncheon
will be given him by the Chamber OF
Commerce, and Mr. Bellamy probably
will outline a plan to enlarge the
scope Of the work in Atlanta.

BLAMING GERMANY.

Before he died, August Bebel, the
famous German socialist, wrote a
letter pointing out Germany's mill
tary weakness, and claiming France
could whip her ancient enemy should
war be precipitated soon. His theory
was that Germany was too weak on
the frontier, and France could get
such running start at the opening
of hostilities that there would be
no stopping her until she was in a
position to dictate terms. A news
paper can't know everything, even
with the aid of a Worlds almanac
and other encyclopedia references,
and at this distance, says the Atchin-
son Globe, one can learn but little
beyond the numerical strength of the
fighting forces, and the weapons in
general use. The former advantage
is with the kaiser, and the latter in
doubt, but possibly slightly in favor
of the French. But it seems to us
that the Socialist seer predicates his
theory too strongly on recent events
in the Balkans.
There, you will recall, the Ger
maintained Turks were whipped 10
frazzle and fifty-seven other ways
by the Balkan boys commanded by
officers of French tutelage. There
fore, the theory runs. the French
system of warfare is essentially su-
perior to the German tactics. A
great little theory, no doubt, as
theories go, but it occurs to us that
the fact that the Turks were Turks
had more to do with it than German
instruction in the fighting game.
Which may be wrong, but the chance
that it is right is strong enough, let
US hope, to prevent clash of Europ-
can powers. Either way such con-
flict swung, it could hardly be worth
the price to the winner, price so
large it is staggering to contem-
plate.

A FINE SPECTACLE.

Who are servants of the people?
The spectacle of the assessor of
Denver and a member of the state
tax commission calling each other
liars and crooks is not an inspiring
one. Both men should be relegated
to the rear where they belong. Of
ficials, like other men, should be
made to conduct their discussions
with gentlemanly manners. The
trouble is each man is trying to de-
rive future perferment from the
position he now occupies. The as
SCISSOR of Denver wants to be may
or. He feels that by making a
grandstand play and reducing valua-
tions he can thus court the favor of
the taxpaying voters and land the
job. He knows that his values are
much too low as compared with the
values advanced by other assessors
of the state. Again, the members of
the state tax commission are certain
ly trying to get political power. No
other commission ever formed in the
state had as much power as the three
men now on that commission. The
state board of equalization never
could exercise the power that these
men may now control. Instead of
using their offices for the purposes
to which they were created these men
have been trying to build machines.
When two politicians with aspira-
tions clash and when each has an
