Settlements work for the children Of

of the largest playground in the city
which, when equipped, will be amodel
of its kind. The site OF the play
ground, which is owned by the Oahu
Railroad & Land Company, was until
recently occupied by tenements which
the railroad tore down, turn
ing the land over to the settlement for
temporary use. The site was leveled
and fenced and is now q, beautiful
lawn with a large shade tree In one
end, and it's establishment Is fit
ting climax to the work which the
settlement has carried on during the
past year. It is soon to be equipped
with up-to-date apparatus and will un-
doubtedly prove to be a live center
Of activity. -.
The work among the children Is
but a brevity in the part which the
Palama Settlement plays in the life

Boys Govern Themselves =
The boys clubs of the settlement
are divided into three classes: the
Midgets, or boys weighing under 80
pounds, and Juniors, those weighing
from so to 95 pounds. All boys
weighing more than 95 pounds are
members of several self-governing
clubs. Theer are seven Of these lat

ests Of every member. They have
their own constitutions and bylaws
and the members elect their own off,

generally under the supervision Of one
of the members of the employed
force Of the settlement. There are
regular classes in the gymnasium
each week, and the boys indulge In
such outdoor games as baseball, foot

Like the boys, the girls Of the neigh

club having gymnasium classes, it's
club rooms and special entertain

classes, one being the seniors and the
other the juniors, and the gymnasium

Nov, however, the Democrats are
in power at Washington and Mr..
Campbell feels that he can afford to
tell the truth. What he said last Fri
day afternoon was absolutely true,
but the question he ought to answer
is: Why not this frank statement
years ago? Why at this time, when
he is conducting quiet campaign to
hold on to his job by having his
friends say he is a good postmaster,
etc.?' Undoubtedly his statement at
this time is part of his plan to win
public sentiment and approval to en-
able him to hold on to his job. Had
he spoken years ago many lives
would have been saved and Chicago
would have had greatly improved
service during the past. 49,
''The facts are that because of lack
of executive ability and any sense of
initiative and his refusal to listen to
the suggestions of his subordinates

sible for the lack of development and
improvement that is apparent to
every one who is familiar with the in
ner workings Of the Chicago postof-
