A finish fight will be waged by Miss
Margaret B. Neale, the young play
ground worker. against a ruling by z.
S Martin, District playground super
visor, that she is ineligible for appoint
ment as a director of Fairgrounds. Miss
Neale asserts that she is being discrim-
mated against in favor Of a Balti-
morean. Mr.. Martin denies the discrim-
ination, denies Miss Neale's eligibility
under the law, and denies that Miss
Sarah s. Lewis, his appointee to the Mt.
Pleasant playground, is not a bona fide
resident Of the District.
Miss Neale will take the case, she
says, before the District Commissioners

"Mr. Martin took advantage of a tech

BILE, to rule against me-" said Miss Neale
today.
Meantime Miss NeaIe and Miss Lewis
are working side by side at the Mt.

best he could. Next he set the patent

SUICIDE PREVENTION
HD COPP'S PLAN
Persons Possessed of Mania
Can Be Cured by Persua-
sion, Is His Belief.

Mental clinics to study persons who
contemplate committing suicide will be
opened in Philadelphia by the Rev.
Zed H. Copy, formerly of Washing
ton. the scheme being that individuals
possessed of suicidal mania can be
cured by persuasive arguments.
-he anti-suicide idea has been used
by the Salvation Army for several
years with excellent results, but 1t
is understood that Nd. Copp's plan is
much more elaborate and that the men
tai treatment Is supplemented with
is understood that Mr.. Copp's plan Is
work in cooperation with the police
and keep a careful surveillance over
persons who have attempted 20 COM
nit suicide and to visit them regularly.
The principle on which MIR. Copp ir.-
tends to conduct his life-saving prorA-
ganda Is to remove the motive for Sui-
eide in the individual cases. He be-
lieves that love, illness, and financial
troubles are the three chief reasons
usually behind the self-destruct!on Of
persons, and his opinion Is that by a
study of the motives the actual cause
OF suicide can usually be eliminated.
Reports by the Salvation Army are to
the effect that thousands of persons
suicide are saved each
year. Necessarily the work is carried
on quietly.
Mr.. Copp was known in Washington
as civic worker and reformer. He
took especial interest in the welfare Of
boys, but his activities covered a large
field.

SPIRIT OF THE TIMES
FORCES MORE LAWS
Secretary Daniels Says That
Special Privilege Has Spoil
ed Jefferson's Idea.

HARTFORD, Conn, Sept 1.-"When
Thomas Jefferson said, the state is
best governed which is governed the
least he did not have in mind the
complex civilization OF today" said
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels today,
speaking at the Connecticut State
Fair. He said that ''the body of the
law must grow 20 keep pace with
human invention and progress"
THE fewer laws that will carry out
the decrecs Of Jefferson and Lincoln
the better" he continued, but in
our day the cry of let us alone has
come generally from the men who
are monopolizing the milk and cream,
and who are aroused because others
demand at least a chance to get a
taste Of the clabber. Men who in
woke the names OF jefferson and
Lincoln TO prevent the passage of
laws or the enforcement of laws, fear
an end of special privilege upon
which they have long f;.Itened."

BERGER'S PICTURE
OF LABOR IS DARK
Socialist Leader Says That the
Worker Is Worse Off Than
He Was Ten Years Ago.

MILWAUKEE. Sept. 1.-Declaring
that the laboring man Is worse off to-
day than he was ten years ago, and
warning trade unions against "non-pro-
gressivism" in their political activities,
Victor L. Berger, first Socialist Con-
gresham and leader of the Milwaukee
Socialist party, today gave out the fol-
lowing Labor Day statement:
Looking backward on this one day OF
all the year devoted exclusively to the
interests of labor, find that the work
ingmAn, generally speaking, is receiv-
ing higher wages than ever before But
I also believe there Is no question but
that he is worse off than he was ten
years ago. He gets better wages, but
II isn't a question Of how much he
receives. II Is rather a question of
how much he can get for it. The in
crease in wages has not kept pace with
the cost of living. and the wage Garner
cannot buy as much today with his
weekly wage as ne could with half as
much ten years ago.
II am sorry to say that the trades
union movement has been at stand
still for the past few years for two rea-
sons:
ton Of Labor is out of tune with tho
norprogressive, so far as the political
activities of trades unionists are con-
cerned.'
"Second-To this nonprogressive ten
dency of the American Federation Of
Labor Is due the new movements that
have sprung up within the general labor
movement. One Is the Industrial Work
ers of the World. and another Is the So
Called Militia of Christ.
''The former movement Is well known
In the United States. and the latter Is
fostered by the Roman Catholic Church.
The movement Is not religious, but II Is
political, economic, and socialistic-"

have declared that they will donate
their services as a patriotic duty"
which they feel they oew the State.
In this connection 1t is pointed out that

that eminent counsel appear for the
governor, so that the precedents es-
tablished in the trial shall be of benefit
In the future.
Counsel for lothian p. Aids, who
was expelled from the State senate Of

mitted bill for approximately $4,000

II Is considered likely that the State
eventually will pay counsel for Mr.. Sui
ger. There S, of course, no question
but that the bills of the several prom
inent attorneys already hired by the
Assembly to prosecute the impeachment

large fees.
The $4,000 representing the estimated
expenditure of the Frawiey committee,
may be increased to $4,000. as the COM
mittee purposes to hold several more
sessions. beginning on wednesday.
Governor Sulzer recently sent letters
to various governors respecting the
gubernatorial tangle in this State. He
has made public sympathetic replies
from Governors Pothier, OF Rhode
Island; Cruce, Of Oklahoma, Brewer,
of Mississippi; Ferris. of Michigan; Cox,
of Ohia; Hanna. of North Dakota. and
Blease, of South Carolina.
Both the rivals for governorship
honors Of the State spent yesterday

Colonial FirepIaces.

The early American fireplace was
merely cheap provincial copy of Eng.
fish models of the same period. The
application OF the word colonial" to
pre- Revolution architecture and deco
ration has created a vague impression
that there existed at that time an
American architectural style. AS a
matter OF fact. colonial" architecture
is simply a modest copy of Georgian
models. and colonial mantelpieces
were either imported from England by
those who could afford 1t or were re-
produced in wood from current Eng
fish designs. Wooden mantels were in
deed, not unknown in England. where
the use OF a wooden architrave led
to the practice of facing the fireplace
with Dutch tiles. but wood was used
In England and America only from
motives of cheapness, and the archi-
trave was set back from the opening
only because it was unsafe to put an
intiammable material so near the fire.
