COAsTING IN cool SPRING pARK.

HUNDREDS of boys and girls have found pleasure
aud heathful recreation IN Cool Spring Park
since the recent snowstorm by coastng from Science
Hail. at Var Buren street. the park to Eleventh
and Jackson streets That the slide is yac is shown by
the fact that while children Of all ages have used it,
there has been accident worthy of the name At the
far end OF the slide where the trees have been planted
too closely TO any useful purpose IN the matter
Of shade ornamentaton, tree in the direct line
Of the slide has been source Of disquietude To many

is stuned because Of thick planting and is imparing

sport would be much safe for the little folk.
One Of the prime r the children obtaining
much enjoyment from the slide Is the friendly, in
terested and sensible attitude of Henry NJ. Lang the
supervisor OF the park His policy to encourage the
children 20 slide and TO permit them regulate their
sport Il is only when the larger boys become too
rough that h nterferes and then In such diplomatic
way that he does not spoil the legitimate fun

saw boy throw lump Of hard snow in the face of
girl He called the boy and the girl him. Address
ing the boy he said "You apologize for what you
have done or leave the park" With perhaps fifty OF
his playmates clustered about him, ho boy apologzed
awkwardy and grudgngy, but he apologized just the
same He had learned his lesson. and had the other
boys. From that time on. there was no more trouble
and decent conduct and the best spirit prevailed
To show that he cherished resentment the super

KENNEY,S CHANCES.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING


To the Editor OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir: - Recently you have been
much space TO articles that might
lead many readers to believe that
former Senator Kenney has chance
to be appointed Ambassador to Mex
leo.
The truth is that Kenney can't get
the place and Senator Salisbury
can't get it for him. In fact, Senator
Salisbury does not dare make real
effort to land him. President Wilson
could not afford to make such a mis-
take and men in the Cabinet and in
the Senate will see that the President
Is not misled by Senator Salisbury.
II is just one of the junior Sena-
tors bluff, and it is By long odds
the most gigantic bluff he has yet
attempted. The rundown of Handy
made Senator Salisbury unpopular
With hundreds Of Democrats who are
not partial to Handy. To try to get
Kenney such a place Will kill him
politically in Delaware, and in the
l.. S. Senate, where Kenney is well
remembered for his actions while a
member OF that august body.
Several men who have received
letters from Senator Salisbury. in
forming them that he would do all he
could to land Kenney, are surprised
as they did not and would not sign
any petition for kenney. Some OF
them, as members of the Legislature
voted for him for Senator. but have

Editorial Opinion
LIGHT. POWER AND SUFFRAGE.

From the Princess Anne Marylander.
Princess Anne had two gatherings last
week, each of which involved the ques-
tion of light aud power.
Tho first was held at the Court House
Wednesday evening, and its object was
TO express an opinion upon the right
trend to be pursued by the town com
mssioners TO aid in securing electric
lighting for the town. The commission
crs are satisfied that the present system
of street lighting is too expensive and
the people agree with them that some
more expeditions and less expensive
method should be obtained More than
this the town wishes to be more up-to-
date both as TO light and power.
II was the sense of the persons gath
cred at the Court House that the COM
missioners should, after due investiga-
tion, seek competitive bidding upon an
electric proposition and no doubt the
town fathers win speedily gather such
information and act upon il.
The other gathering was to hear a cul.
tured lady speak upon the problem Of
woman suffrage. This also involves the
question of light and power. Men are
rather set in their ways anyhow and
IL requires persuasive eloquence TO make
them see how one-sided they are. They
need light and they are getting the re-
Quired illumination. Tho women are
willing 20 furnish the light and arc
equally willing to exchange il for power
So that Princess Anne, in the attitude
OF seeking light. ought TO rouse from
il lethargic state and put itself in q
receptive state of mind. Is it possible
that we have lived all these years and
! have still to realize our dreams of what
/ h best and modernl Whilst waiting 50

regretted ever since that they did so.
President Wilson will not appoint
Kenney, many well-informed Demo-
Gratis Of the best party standing as

There has long been a suspicion
among Wilson Democrats that the
Junior Senator himself is insincere,
and it can never be allayed if he tries
to put such a kenney appoint
ment over on the present administra-
ton Kenney is impossible. Sauls-
bury will lose the little prestige he
still retains if he does not call back
his latest bluff.
There is a man in Kent county

bury would be favcring a friend

eucb q world league as that OF which
we sneak and dream, the test would be
conduct and not merely selfish interest,
and SO there would be no shifting of
policy. ,. =
It is rot yet opportune to discuss in
detail the exact method by which the
nations of the world shall put the col
lective strength of civilization behind
tbe DurDose of civilization to do right,
using as an fundamentally Tor peace
such world league. Probably at the
outset it would be an absolute impos-
sibiIitv to devise a non national or
purely international police force which
would be effective in a great crisis
The prime necessity is that all the
great nations should agree In good
faith to use their combined warlike
strength to coerce any nation, which,
ever one it may be, that declines to
abide the decision of some competent
international tribunal
In a recent admirable article in that ex-
cellent weekly The New Republic" the
on this subject. Our business is to create
the beginnings of international order
out of the world Of nations as these
nations actually exist. We do not have
to deal with a world of pacificists and
therefore we must proceed on the as
sumption that treaties will never ac-
quire sanCtity until nations are ready
to seal them with their blood We are
not striving for peace in heaven. That
is not our affair. What we were bid
=
and good will toward men" To fulfill
this injunction it is necessary to treat
the earth as it is and men as they are,
as an Indispensable prerequisite to
making the earth a better place in
which to live and men better fit to live
in it. It is inexcusable moral culpa-
bility on our part to pretend to carry
out this Injunction in such fashion as
to nullify it; and this we do if we make
believe that the earth is what it is not
and If our professions Of bringing good
viii toward men are in actual practice
shown to be empty shams.
Peace congresses, peace parades, the
appointment and celebration of days of
prayer for peace, and the like, which
result merely in giving the partici-
pants the feeling that they have &C
complished something and are therefore
to be excused from hard, practical
work for righteousness, are empty
shams." Treaties such as the recent
all inclusive arbitration treaties are
such empty shams, and convict us as a
nation Of moral culpability when our
representatives sign them at the same
time that they refuse to risk anything
/ to make good the signatures we have
already affixed to the Hague conven-
lions.
Moderate Treaties Needed.
Moderate and sensible treaties which
mean something and which can and
will be enforced mark a real advance
for the human race AS "The New Re
public" says: 1T is our business to

What America Should Learn From the European Wa

object Of suspicion to sound headed
men or else an object Of derisiOn to all
men. One Of the stock jokes in the
comic columns Of the newspapers re-
takes the pledge, or makes an indefi-
mite number Of good resolutions on
New Years day, and fails to keep his
pledge or promise or resolution; this
was one of Mark Twain's favorite sub
jects for derislOn. The man who con-
tinually makes new promises without
living UP to those he has already
made, and who takes pledges which
he breaks, is rightly treated as an
object for cOntemptuOus fun. The ma
tion which behaves in like manner de-
serves no higher consideration.
Conduct of Wilson and Bryan.
The conduct of Messrs- Wilson and
Bryan in signing these au-inclusive
treaties at the same time that they
the Hague conventions has represented
the kind Of wrong doing to this ma
ton that would be represented in pri-
Vate life by the individuals who sign
such contracts as those mentioned.
The administration has looked on
without a protest while the Hague
conventions have been torn up and
thrown to the wind. 1t has watched
the paper structure of good will col
LAPSE without taking one step to pre-
vent it; and yet foolish pacificists. the
very men who in the past have been
most vociferOus about international
morality, have praised it for this po-
sition.
The assertion that our neutrality
carries with it the obligation to be
silent when our own Hague Conven-
lions are destroyed represents an act
i've step against the peace Of righteous
ness. The only way to show that our

lean friends of French descent, he
finds there similar records, and often
even greater sorrow, for death has
come to many of them. In Europe
their families and his have looked
upon each other as enemies for gener-
ations. while a few years in the clar-
flying atmosphere of America nave
made friends of former Frenchmen,
Germans, Russians and Engllshmen
Jointly they pray that the present
war NAV not be carried to such pass
that an early and honorable peace be-
comes impossible for any one Of these
great nations. Is it asking too much
that America may be vOuchsated In
not too distant a future to do for their
respective native lands what the Amer
lean institutions have done for them
individually, help them to regard each
other at their true worth, unblinded
by traditional hatred or fiery passion.
Americas Duty.
It is in the spirit of this statement
that we Americans should act. We are
a people different from but akin to all
the nations of Europe. We should feel
a real friendship for each of the con-
testing powers and real desire TO
work so as to secure justice for each
This cannot be done by preserving a
tame and spiritless neutrality which
treats good and evil on precisely the
same basis. Such a neutrality never
has enabled and never will enable any
nation to do a great work for right
eousness. Our true course should be
to judge each nation on its conduct,
unheSt tatingly to antagOnize every ma
ton that does i'll as regards the point
on which it does i'll, and equally with
out hesitation to act, as cool headed
and yet generous wisdom may dictate,
so as disinterestedly to further the
welfare Of all.
Some Violations of Neutrality.
For example, I feel in the strongest
way that we should have interfered,
at least to the extent of the most en-
phatic diplomatic protest and at the
very outset, in regard to the violation
OF the neutrality of Belgium; for this
act was the earliest and the most i'm
portant, and in its. consequences the
most ruinOus, Of all violations and
any cOmbatant during. the war. But it
was not the only one. The Japanese
and English forces not long after viO-
lated Chinese neutrality in attacking
KiaO-Chau.
1t has been alleged, and not denied,
that the British ship Highflyer sunk
the Kaiser Wilhelm der GroSSer in
neutral Spanish waters, this being also
a violation Of The Hague conventions;
and on October 10 the German govern
ment issued an Official protest about
alleged violations Of the Geneva con-
vention by the French. Furthermore,
the methods employed in strewing por-
have been such as to warrant the most
careful investigation by any neutral
nations which treat neutrality pacts
and The Hague conventions as other
than merely dead letters.
Our Own Power Diminished.
If, instead of observing a timid and
spiritless neutrality, We had lived ~

faith in public law was real was t.
protest against the assault on inter-
national morality implied in the in
vasiOn of Belgium.
Unless some one at some time is
ready to take some chance for the sake
Of inJernatiOnalism, it will remain
what it is today, an object of derision
to aggressive nations Even if nothing
more than an emphatic protest had
been made against what was done in
Belgium the foundations would have
been laid for an effective world opin-
ion against international cynicism.
Pacificists claim that we have acted
so as to preserve the good will OF
Europe and to exercise a guiding in
fluence in the settlement Of the war.
This is an idea which appeals to the
thoughtless, for it gratifies our desire
to keep out of trouble and also our
vanity by the hope that we shall do
