Let Other Cities Follow Suit.

In order to curb New York's smoke
evil, many arrests on land and water
have been made during the past
month, and it is believed that the resi-
dents of the city will suffer less from
this nuisance in the future. Railroad
companies, power houses, harbor tugs.
factories. industrial and public service
plants and some apartment houses
were among the offenders. So much
momentum has this campaign for pure
air attained that the city government

and will attempt to set a good ex-
ample by reducing the amount Of
dense, black smoke which issues
from the pumping station of the
water department at Ridgewood.
The health department authorities
say that there is no excuse for let
ting clouds of black smoke into
the air from any power or heat
ing plant, for it Is possible to in
stall mechanical stocking devices which
will feed the fires so scientifically that
even with soft coal or semi -bitumin-
o'is coal the combustion will be COM
,plete. Many Of the chief offenders
have been the hotels of the city. The
custom has grown up among them of
burning refuse and waste collected
during the day either at dusk or the
first thing In the morning. The re-
suit Aas been that the bon-ton resi-
Dental sections have often been

Editorial Comment
lobstermen Were "kidding."
(Portland Expressly


portland Expressly
Are the lobstermen so frightened at
the new lobster law that they have
absolutely gone out of the short lobster
business? Why. certainly they are
not. Looks as If those York county
fishermen with their widely advertised
agreement to refrain from catching
the immature fellows were simply
doing little Kidding" At any rate
in short run between Portland and
Kittery the wardens discovered and
| liberated over 5000 baby Holsters.
| And it is safe to assume that they
captured but a small part of the
hidden supply. We believe now as
| we have always believed that condi-
| tions will never improve in the lobster
fishery until Maine Massachusetts,,
and New Hampshire have uniform
law. However, it is Of course much
too early in the game to claim that
| the wardens cannot under this new
law do all they say they can do.
When the law was passed it's pro-
| moters were confident that lobster
running" between Maine and Massa-
chusetts via the smack route would
absolutely end. and that because of
the liability of losing their licenses if
detected. the. fishermen would take no
! illegal crustaceans. This first move
of the wardens would seem to indicate
| that the short lobstermen have not
! all reformed because Of the new law
with teeth in it," The average lands

tensity of the fisherman's conviction

What Next in the War?

Until We know whether or not Grand
Duke Nicholas has successfully ex-
tracted his enormous army from the
jaws Of the Austro- German envelopinS
movement, it seems useless to figure
the magnitude of the Teutonic sue
cess. To us it appears that unless the
drive on Warsaw has resulted in a
smashing blow to the Russian army a
dear price has been paid for the Polish
capital. Although the dream of the
Kaiser has been realized its glitter
must have vanished before the end Of
the greatest military operation in his
tory, every inch of which was flooded
with German blood.
The drive on Warsaw" has cost the
lives or the disabling of millions Of
men. II Grand Duke Nicholas has
saved his men from rout or capture.
While making every Teutonic step
has accomplished even as much as, or
more than, have the brilliant military
strategists Of the Germany army. This
vast German army is in a territory
that has been stripped clean. 1t is more
than 800 miles east Of Berlin. With
Russia ilurrying arms and ammunition
across Siberia in scores of thousands
of cars. respite must be short for the
over strained Teutons. If the bear
has not been desperately mounded he
promises sleepless nights for the con-
querors of Warsaw.
What is to follow Will Germany
Tow move on Serbia, begin a drive on
Paris, or sit tight? The latter seems
most improbable because time is Ger
many's most dangerous enemy fight
ing on the side of the Anglo French
allies.
On Tie other and, the German VIC
tory at Warsaw will hearten all Ger
many and Austria, give new hope and
relief to Turkey, cause Greece, Bull
garia and Rumania to hesitate about
casting in their lot with the Slavs,
and may solidify Poland under an i'm
mediate new government.
The drive on Warsaw" has quite
probably cost a million human lives,
untold suffering from wounds, hunger
and exposure in a land wrecked and
Impoverished by relentless armies
and what has humanity gained?
DR.. Frank Crane says:
The gist of war is that state ques-
tions shall be settled by the torture
and murder of certain number of
citizens.
I'VE tolerate war simply because
We are medieval minded, blinded by
custom, asphyxiated by the universal
ity of folly, our intelligence stupefied
by ancient fraud.
How our children's children shall
look back with puzzled amazement

boundary we murder a million, and to
determine how we shall be governed

OF course all this is free advertising

valuable suggestions for other cities

world: they live up to, and enforce to.
the letter and spirit of the law.
But that is not what We set out to
say. We had in mind the voicing Of .
hepe-a hope We have long Cherished
that some day Augusta. through her
board Of trade. joining Of church
organizations or some other such
means, will act with the State and
convert the State Park into On attrac-
tive public picnic place and city. play
ground. with modern outfit including
vading pool. shoot the chutes. swingc,
sand boxes and all.
Oakland. Cal, has population ten
times that Of Augusta. but she has
four score Fairgrounds for the de-
velopment Of her children. OF course
Augusta is not as badly In need Of
Fairgrounds as some other cities, but
She will, soon or late. awaken to the
moral, physical and sanitary value to
the community of .up-to-date play
grounds.
Lewiston has converted City Park
into something Of present utility and
attraction. and Of vital importance to
the next generation. An Augusta gen.
tleman was recently in Lewiston and
discovered the, City Park play ground.
He was amazed and delighted. and
passed the afternoon there, watching
from 1900 to 1906 children from creep
ing tots to half grown men and wo-
men, at every sort Of play and prank.
This gentleman is fully converted to
the play ground idea. One genuine
demonstration on hot day was SUI
ficient. Lewiston has made her public
park worth something. When schools
open in September, her teachers and
school officers will realize the first
benefits to the public. Hundreds Of
small, hot and cherries homes haze
realized it already. There weary
mothers with heat-sick babes have
found relief and a new lease Of life.
There children that cannot go away
to shore or farm in the hottest wealth
er, have enjoyed every hour in the
open. +.
We should like to hear from others
on the State Park idea.

to put the management of the children
in the hands of a committee of boys.
She chose ten youngsters from diff
ferent neighborhoods near the play
ground. formed them into a Little
Citizens Committee and asked them
to draw UP rules and regulations.
The boys were allowed to make the
rules as they saw fit. They were for
mally adopted by the committee and
then ratified. in their original form,
by the Board of Playground Directors.
They were then placed in the field
house and the Little Citizens Com
mittee sees to 1t that they are strict
ly enforced. Regular policemen could
watch no more sharply for attractions
Of the rules than they, and when a
member Of the committee sees a vio-
lation Of the law he promptly haIes
the offender before his brother COM
mitteemen and a trial takes place.
Other rules of the Committee are as
follows:
mo cigarettes. They're no good.
Any boy found smoking will be shown

off the grounds. If you eat here, do
Il decent and take the refuse away

anything away from a little kid, he'll
get his.

The penalty for violation Of the
rules ranges from a fine Of one cent
to expulsion from the Fairgrounds for
a month. And the -uling Of the COM
