WHAT A CITY CAN DO.
IDubuoue Teleeraph Herald.

dubuque Telegrapn-deralo.J
Shortly after the last Of the devas-
tating lumber yard fires had swept
clean the area embraced between
Fourth street extension on the south
and east and the Illinois Central Rail-
road on the north and west, some-
body saw in the waste place the site
of a municipal athletic field: a field
which should be owned by the city, OPP
Grated without thought Of profit. and
dedicated for all future time to be
playground for children and grown
UPS. He visualized q field embracing
in all some eleven acres, or three
times the acreage Of Jackson square,
with several baseball diamonds. sew
eral gridirons for football, tennis
grounds, sand piles and swings and
other things for children, gymnasium
paraphernalia for turner's and aero
bats. drill grounds for military com
panies, and a place where thousands
Of public and private school pupils
could hold weekly interscholastic attn
letic contests. He saw a field with
grass and trees and flowers, swept IN
summer by refreshing river wind, and
capable of being transformed IN WIN
ter into an ice-skating FINK.
This dreamer thought his dream SC
good that he set out to make 1t come
true. This was something like four.
teen months ago. The city owned
most of the land. The additional ares
needed could be purchased. The city
could fill the sloughs with the clean

money to fence that part OF the neie
to be occupied as league basebai
park. It would take money for labor
and for materials. Nothing dauntee

GIVE RICH FOLKS A CHANCE.

When Vincent Aston and the Hunt
ington heiress were married some per-
sons and some newspapers spoke OF
the wedding and the high contracting
parteis" with sheer. They are both
very rich and some people and some
publicists find themselves unable to
speak we'll of the wealthy. Perhaps
wealth and the way wealth Is inclined
to- act in this country is responsible
to a oonsidera BILE extent for this re-
sentful attitude. Not altogether, how
ever, for it has become hard to be fair
to the rich.
old John Jacob Astor. who was q
money maker and not perhaps as
scruplous as he might have been. How
ever, he was as honest as the average
man who got rich in those days. He
was a stingy. disagreeable old man.
rather ignorant. but with business ca
pacity to burn. He grew very rich by
realty investments. fur trading and
the like. Nobody would find much
fault with John Jacob today as head OF
corporation--if everybody held stock in
the corporation. And let us remember
that only few years before old John
Jacob came to this country some of
the great colonial families picked up
big money as sharers in privateers
that were scarcely removed from pi-
rates and drew big returns from slav-
ing vessels and that before them divi
dends derived from bucanneering came
into New England and pirate goods
were salable all along the coast.
Huntington "copped" very satisfac-
torily in the big land grants to rail-
roads Now let's be fair TO Huntington
in this Folks "in business" didn't look
on land grabbing then as they do now
It wasn't exactly a crime to own few
congressman and senators then. Those
good old days we hear about We're full
Of SLY deviltry and some of 1t was
considered legitimate enough. And just
lately most excellent man as men
go and one very highly considered
among his church and neighborhood
associates, mentioned that he was
holding clam by proxy and paying
the man on 1t $50 month IN account
Of mineral deposits that should make
the quarter very valuable. When his
girl marries somebody's son nobody
will fuss and sneer about the wedding.
Let's take the Aston Huntington
wedding on its face value, hope that
the young folks are better than the
old ones and that they vii! be happy
and honest and raise family and
generally be decent folks in a decent
| country. Let's do that. It's a better
plan than digging up all the mean
| ness and avarice of old John Jacob or
the fragt Of old man Huntington to pile
among the wedding presents Of their
grandchildren and great grandchildren
Things are better than they were.
! Conditions are better and men are bet
| ter and see things better. Let's hope
that Vincent Astor is a better man
than his father, which would not be
hard work for Vincent and that the
Huntington girl Is the making of a
worthy wife and woman. Give rich
| folks a chance.

Much is made by the friends Of Judge

Clarke's place he would have called the

Governor Clarke seems to be catch

AS TO CUMMINS AND SAVAGE.
Knoxville Journal

The comment Of the newspapers OF
the state in regard to the Savage cam
didacy for United States senator indi-
Gates that Senator Cummins will be
renominated with but little opposition
Practically every newspape OF infiu-
ence in the state deplores the obvious
intention of Mr.. Savage's friends to
stir up the old fight In the party. Ev-
erywhere there Is recognition OF the
fact that Senator Cummins has made
an exceptionally good record and that
the hope of the party in this state Is
bound up with his candidacy. Hundreds
of the stalwart republican lead
ers of the state are emphatic in their
declaration that they are for Mr.. Cum
Minis this year and that he ought tc
be renon,inated and. elected.

RICH IN PALAEoLITHIc RELICS
Remarkable Find in Welsh Cave Has
Thrown Much Light on Life Of
the Long Past Centuries.

In recent lecture in the Old Coun'
try, Prof. w j. Sollas, told of cave
rich in palaeolithic relics in human
and animal skeletons and implements,
situated near Roaali, in the Cover pen
insula in South Wales, and is known
by the name of Payiland cave. The
discovery there, said the professor, OF
painted skeleton, long known as the
Red Lady" had rendered it famous
Recent Investigations showed that this
skeleton was the remains Of a member
Of the tall upper palaeolithic race.
The bones. of the animals. most OF
them extinct, were in agreement with
this conclusion, the most abundant be
ing the horse, cave bear, bison. rein
deer and fhinoceros The mammoth
was less common. The implements in
cluded objects carved out of nam
moths ivory, ivory. rods. avis and
amulets. bone marrow scoops, and
wolves teeth, perforated for suspen
sion as necklace. The cave, which
was an ideal hunting lodge for palace
llthic man, was the most westerly Colt
post of the race in Europe.
