Peoples Forum"
Closed for a Time
BY Carlton Ten Eyck
written for the United Press)

New York, Oct. 2O.-For the only
time perhaps in the countless years Of
stirring history, New York's "Peo-
ple's Forum" is closed. Union Square
is not open to the would-be Demos
themes for the first time "since the
memory of man runneth not back to
the contrary" This does not mean
that Father Knickerbocker-or Mayor
Ardolphe KLINE, to be eXact-has put
the lid on free and untrammelcd
speech in the greater city. The con-
sruction of the new Broadway-LeX-
ington Avenue Subway has progress
ed that far and the work is occupying
the square The place where "Big
Bill" Haywood and other eXhorters
have haranpued the crowds, where
Miss Inez Milholland that was, and
General" Rosolie Jones have de
manded votes for women, now looks
like the shaft house Of a West Vir-
ginia coal mine. First they built iron
fences arouid the walks and grass
spaces of the square, and its outraged
habitues were confined to the benches
bordering the pavements. This was
bad enough, but then came workmen
VINO erected frame SHdchS al over
the place, cutting off the view across
the ancient quadrangle. Then they
began to drive wagons into the

long their favorite loafing place will

Shih Kai before he responded. He
was made viceroy over the disaffected
provinces, with full command of the
land and naval forces. Soon there
after he was summoned to Pekin and
appointed Prime Minister to succeed
the notorious, corrupt and reaction
ary Prince Ching. He then succeeded
in bringing about the resignation Of
the Prince Regent, Prince Chun, who
had dismissed him two years before.

SOMETHING ABOUT HEAD
OF CHINESE REPUBLIC

Peking, China, Oct. 2O-Yuan Shih
Kai, just elected the first permanent
president of China, has been the first
provisional president since March 10,
1912. Contrary to the general opin-
ion, DR.. Sun Vat Sen, to whom per-
haps the greatest credit is due for the
revolution which overturned the Man
chus in 1911, was never provisional
president of the Chinese republic,
When the revolution broke out at
Wuchang on October 10, 1911, Dr..
Sun Yet Sen was in Europe. He hur~
ried to China and on January l, 1912,
he was installed at Marking as provi-
sional president of the so-called gov
ernment" which the rebels had set
up. At that time the Manchu emper-
or was still the legal ruler of China.
He Indicated on February 8th, the
edict of his mother, the Empress
Dowager, directing that from that
date all power of herself and son
should be vested in Yuan Shih Kai,
the prime minister. One month and
two days later Yuan was inaugurated
provisional president, with the con-
sent of Sun Vat Sen. Pekin contin-
ued to be the capital and the tempo
rarV and revolutionary organization
at Marking ceased to exist.
Yuan Shih Rai was born 81 years
ago in HOnan province, Central China.
Thus, he is not a North Chinese, as
has been said so repeatedly in the
foreign press. Another erroneous inn
preston in regard to Yuan, THE
WASHINGTON of China" is that he is
Of a noble family. His family has
been of the Honan gentry for many
generations, and his uncle was a gen
eral in the old Manchu army, but they
were not noblemen. Scholarship has
been the only sure key to preferment
in Chinese politics. Yuan rejected the
easy path by way of the HanIin Aca
denny, and chose the life Of a soldier
after taking his provincial B. A. A
the soldier in the old days ranked be
low all grades Of society except the
merchant and the actor, his rise is all
the more remarkable, He is essen
TALLY self-made man.
Yuan Shih Kai's public career be-
gan in 1862, when % years of age
with his assignment to Korea. Three
years later he bacame Chinese im-
perial resident. He held that position
for nine years and was driven out by
the war with Japan. He has held
many other positions under the Man
chus.
When the outbreak at Wuchang OF
October 10, 1911, started the world
and struck terror to the hearts of tbs
Manchus, Yuan Shih Kai was leading
the quiet life of Honan gentleman
farmer. The army that he had train
ed, the first corps of Chinese soldier,
that ever got their full pay on pay
day. was in the hands of others, bu
the spirit of the corps was with its ol(
commander and benefactor. Th'

novelists, essayists, composers and
the like. Then came the encroach-
ments of business, spreading ever
porthward, and the homes where
once dwelt the writer's were supplant-
ed with cfiice gs-slyscrapers
in their hey-day-wherein held forth
the publishing houses. A decade ago
the popular magazines were publish
ed in Union Square and some of the
most notable book publishers had of
fees there
Gradually these, too, moved up
town. The buildings, made second
and then third rate by the erection
Of more imposing structures further
up, were occupied with small manu-
I facturies and the like. Fourteenth
street became the "Great White
Way" of the East Side, and Union
Square lost all of it's grandeur. But
the old rectangle did not lose its
fresh air and its sunshine, and it be-
came the regular habitat Of the home
less, the friendless, the man out IF
work and the idler by choice. Daily
they came and sat on the benches
and read newspapers picked from the
waste cans. They talked together of
many things, of politics, war, finance,
This gave the orators their idea, and
Union Square became the "PeOple's
Forum" There the political agita-
tors wen to work for their candi-
dates. There the candidates them
selves addressed huge masses Of vot-
ers. Socialists sought the place 20
spread their propaganda. The In
dustrial Workers of the World found
Union Square fertile spot to SOW
their seed. Organized labor, on the
first Monday of each September,
used the space for speeches after the
Labor Day parade, and lastly came
the suffragists. They held several
meetings in the square, their women
orators addressing the crowds that
were always ready to gather in the
square on the slightest provacation.
Many times there have been riot
Gus scenes in Union Square. Emma
Goldman has preached there. The
police have often been called upon to
preserve order, and violent speakers
have ben arrested. Once Sheriff Har-
berger surrounded the place with his
deputies and arrests were made when
an l. w. w. speaker trod on the flag.
There is no disposition on the part
Of the city to take Union Square away
from the people, for all time, but
the exigencies of subway coltstruc-
ton necessitated the use of the square
for that purpose, and for an indefinite
time its frequenters are deprived of
it.
There was considerable nodding
and winking among the Broadway
crowd the other day 1t had been
said that Mayor Kline would grant
all-night licenses and abandoned the
a. m. closing made famous by the late
Mayor Gaynor. Broadway waited a
day or two, but no perceptible fitting
of the lid was discovered. The new
mayor granted one all-night license.
1t was only for one night and was
granted to the proprietors of the res
taurant on the New York theater
roof. Inquiry developed that the oc-
casion of the lid-lifting for one night
was big Bull Moose pow-wow, ar
ranged to give rousing farewell to
Col. Roosevelt, who has gone hunting
in South America. They removed
the lid for the colonel, who proved in
Marquette, Mich, that he never drank
anything stronger than a glass of
brandy with a spoonful-no, it was
the other way about glass of milk
with a spoonful Of brandy. =.

THE END SEAT HOG.

With the arrival of the weather which permits the placing of open cars on the electric lines comes the complaint against the end seat hog and so intense grows the feeling on the part of many that legislation is sought as a means to overcoming the demon The legislator who classes this among the bits of fool legislation real 5zes well that any legislature has enough matters of real importance to occupy their attention without spend ing their time upon any such freak bill
 II is plainly a matter to be dealt with entirely by courtesy. It is hardly conceivable that it should be demanded by law that people getting on a car much occupy a certain position there in simply because they happened to get on first.

There is a breeze shade. freedom and observation ob- sainable there which may not be so with the middle of the seat It is exasperating 10 have to crowd past four people to get a seat and then in a few minutes climb back over them to get off. The fact that such people are not mind readers and fail to know the point of alighting causes them as much inconvenience as the exasper- ated one, and still the courtesy of giving up the end seat is rarely ap- preciated- Rare are the instances where it brings forth a thank you. Though somewhat of a nuisance the end seat person will continue to exist until cars are built different though the use of both sides of a car offers, some relief

LESSON IN ECONOMY.

Governor Baldwin places himself in the position of an economist and not politician when he vetoeS a number Of bills calling for large appropria- tions. It is not that there is not merit in many of them but solely on the ground that the finances of the state do not warrant the expenditure has he attached his veto or withheld his sig nature Whether advance knowledge of the governors attitude in regard to such matters caused the legislature to shake the responsibility of defeating them, and to place 1t upon him, or the placing of merit before finances was uppermost in their minds, never theless the governor has recognized his duty to the state and looked upon the matters as business propositions, which are good but too expensive at the present time.
 Through his action the governor has obtained the end which he declared necessary some weeks ago. A review of the probable appropriations and the treasury statement indicated the ne cessity of a two mill tax and this he advocated to the general assembly, It served to check an inclination to law ishness. but a mill tax was all that they endorsed. Through the rejection of the bills passed by the general as- sembIy the governor has blocked ap- propriations to the amount of practi- callv a million or the equivalent of one mill tax A million saved is a mil lion earned and far preferable to the taxpayers of the state than an addl- tiOnal mill tax
