President Wilson, then Governor of New

before the First National Conference on
Civic and Social Center Development at

President said:
1T is obvious that the schoolhouse is

certain hours of the day. those hours
when the rest of the community is busily

movement that inasmuch as the school

was perfectly legitimate that the COM

be made a place of meeting-in short,
where by meeting each other the people
of a community might know each other,

The civic center movement had its
start at Rochester, \. Y, in 1901,

had been given in the public schools in

Cheap Eating.

News dispatches have related the case
of student in a western state univer-
sity who. by eating nothing but stale
bread, peanuts. oatmeal, raisins and ap-
piles, feeds himself on So cents "a week,
or perhaps it may only cost him 81 cents
to subsist or exist. Very probably he
prepares this food himself. does not use
cream and sugar on the oatmeal and
spreads no butter or molasses on his
stale bread. Stale bread costs about
cent a loaf less than today's bread, or it
may be cheaper than that. depending
upon the degree of staleness Stale
bread is prescribed in some cases for dys-
pepsia, but 1t does not seem likely that

Croker and Murphy.

| Richard Croker renews his criticism OF
Charles F. Murphy. He does not ques-
| ton Mr. Murphys personal integrity,
He believes him to be all honest man.
But, as he thinks Mr.. Murphy is pig
| headed" and therefore out OF place as
leader of Tammany Hall. Mr.. Croker.
having once been its leader himself has
an affection for the organization. and
would see it at its best in these impor-
tant times.
Mr. Murphy receives the criticism Sc
renely He refuses to reply in kind. He
will only say that he has no thought OF
quitting his office, and sees no danger to
Tarnmany from his course His tone and
self-command suggest the diplomat and
philosopher rather than the political boss
handling tough crowd under a raking
fire. 1t is Mister Murphy, not Charley
that speaks; and this is the year for
Mister Murphy.
Mr.. Croker in his interview makes the
interesting announcement that he will
visit New York next fall and talk over
matters with his old friends. The date is
not given. but he ought to time himself
so as to help along the plan for shelving
Mr. Murphy before the democratic state
ticket is nominated. What flip his
arrival in New York early in September
would give to the movement to oust Mr..
Murphy from control of Tammany and
put to sleep Gov. Glynns aspirations to
succeed himself at Albany.
To be sure, that would transform Mr.
Croker into a reformer. He would have
to strike hands with Dudley Field Ma
lone and others who are in charge of the
anti-Murphy, anti-McGlynn anti-boss
propaganda.
But Mr. Croker would not mind. He
would be no stranger in the role of re-
former, or In the company of reformers.
When he was boss of Tammany he had
much the same experience Mr.. Murphy
has had since. One year he was Dick, >
and threatened with punishment by the
reformers Next year he was Mister
and reformer himself. He made his
shifts with agility, and seemed to enjoy
the performance.
Except that the scene is New York,
where no political shift or transforma-
ton would surprise anybody, this playing
of an ex-boss against a boss in action-as
like as two peas-would cause an eleva-
ton of eyebrows. Reform by and through
Croker? Well. Croker helped bring in
national reform in 1892, just as Murphy
did in 1912. Tammany was hooted and
derided at Chicago twenty-five years ago,
just as 1t was twenty years later at Bal
timore. and on both occasions lost its
candidate for President
Will history further repeat itself? The
overwhelming democratic victory of 1892
was followed by the overwhelming de-
feats of 1894 and 1896. What will fol-
low the overwhelming democratic VIC
tory of 1912?

Mexico and Panama.

The approval by Congress and the
country of the Presidents attitude to-
ward the Tampico incident is inspiring.
We are one people.
Sixteen years ago Spain was Hisled on
this score She was persuaded, and from
certain American sources, that the
wounds of our civil war had not healed.
She conceived the idea that if war over
cuba came it would be "a Yankee war
The south would take no interest. A
former Yankee soldier" was in the
White House, and neither former Con-
federate soldiers nor the descendants OF
such men would enlist under his leader
ship.
An absurd mistake. Among the first
men TO offer for military duty were for
mer Confederate officers: and the former
Yankee soldier gladly commissioned
them. Tho Blue and the Gray indulged in
more than a sentimental reunion. The
short war was fought by the men of the
north and of the south standing together;
and against them Spain could not win.
Ninety DAYS brought the struggle to
close.
That demonstration of solidarity as
against a foreign foe had fine effect
both at home and abroad. AS a result,
nobody, either at home or abroad, is sur
prised today when men of all sections
and all parties-forner Confederates and
former Federals-assure the President of
their support in his assertion of resent
nIent for an indignity offered the national
flag They are with him, and assure him
Of all the men and the supplies necessary
for the carrying out OF the national pur-
pose.
1t is this feeling which explains the
wide and deep anxiety that has been
aroused by the Panama tolls question.
The men who are opposing the President
on that question do not doubt his pa
triotism. but his Judgment. They fear he
has taken the wrong course; and their
fear is the greater because he started on
what they believe to be the right course.
They do not understand the change he
has made; and the arguments of those
who have never favored free tolls are as
unconvincing now as when first advanced.
The canal question in its entirety is
very definitely American. We talk Jocu-
larly among ourselves about "the old flag
and an appropriation" But the phrase
has a serious side, and that side applies
most pointedIy to Panama. There the
old nag and an appropriation are united.
and represent a great deal. The appro-
priation reaches the enormous gum of
four hundred million dollars, and calls
for the protection Of the nag IN all its
potency.
We are dealing with the Mexican ques-
tion now. If a little late. in the proper
spirit and this may aid later in the solu-
tion of the canal tolls question The as
