When the golfers or the town and
this vicinity reached Noanalua yes
terday for a round at the game they
were agreeably surprised to find that
the conditions OF hoodlumism that per
vaded that fine course during the pre-
ceding weeks had entirely disappear
ed; due to the fact that one of the
mounted police of the city was most
decidedly on duty with orders to see
that the golfers were neither disturb
ed in play nor subject to pilfering Of
golf balls by needless youths. The eff
feet and result were both highly ap-
rreciated, and the thoughtfufness Of
the owner of Moanalua in thus seek
Ig to make this beautiful estate a
pleasure to all right-minded persons
is indeed to be praised.

~. HELPS:
BEAUTY OF WELL KEPT LAWN
Caro- Taken OF Land Surrounding tho
Homo Adds Much to Arractlve-
ness of Town.

At various times in connection with
&he newspaper reports of the meetings
of citizens associations the sub1ect
of well kept lawns and attractive
flower beds has been touched on, and
lin a number of instance citizens as
sociations have agreed to continue
the practise previously found effec-
tive Of giving awards for lawns and
flower growths of distinguished merit.
Many of the urban and suburban
neighborhoods of the district are the
handsomer, happier and more valuable
because of the care given to the lane
in front or at the e or on the grass
sides of the home. A well kept grass
plot or a carefully tended flower gar
den tells all the world which passes
that way that somebody lives there.
that there is home life there and
that order and content reigns within.
In most cases the condition of the
yard or grounds" can be and will
be taken as an index of the house
keeping system that is followed In
side. The garden or the lawn tended
with care gives a proper touch to
the home and applied to contiguous
homes makes the neighborhood bet
ter. The climate of Washington is
encouraging to fine gardens and every
body who lives in a house has time
enough to care for one. The lawn
mower, the rake and the spade are
fine implements of physical culture.
The security Of private lawns and
flower beds is greater than 1t ever
was. Public opinion has been so
improved and educated in this mat
ter that complaints of ~marauding are
rare. whereas not many years ago
they were frequent. This is shown
by reference to an editorial in the
Star, May 81, 1876, which in part fol-
lows:
There is probably no place in the
country where more is done by It's
inhabitants to beautify their homes
by the cultivation of flowers, shrub
berry, ETC., than by the citizens OF
Washington. Nor is there a place
where such efforts are more success
1ul considering the discouragements
and drawbacks under which they are
made. We refer more especially to
the pulling of flowers, the destruc-
ton of shrubbery and the theft of
rare plants from private grounds. So
great has this abuse grown in some
parts of the city that not a few Of
those who have been so frequently
raided are hesitating between giving
Pup the pleasant duty of ornamenting
their grounds and lying in wait for
the marauders with loaded shotguns.
The most curious thing to these suf-
ferers is the fact that the police ap-
parently never see any of the despoil-
ing, and that in spite of the stringent
law on the subject no arrests are
made or at least nc punishment is in
Aicted."

FAIRGROUNDS FOR THE CITY
Statistics Show Less Crime in Places
Where the Recreation Plan
Obtains.

At a meeting of the City Club in
philadelphia recently at which the
subject of municipal recreation was
under discussion M of the speakers
gave utterance to the sentiment: "A
foot of playground is worth an acre
of penal Institutions"
1t is difficult to gauge the value OF
the playground, but in every city
where a playground or a system of
Fairgrounds has been established the
testimony has been in its favor as a
benefcent institution. Most Of u
American cities did not give much
thought to the recreation idea in the
beginning, but none OF them under
took to get along without prisons.
Perhaps if the Fairgrounds were more
numerous the country might be able
to dispense with a few acres Of its
penal establishments.
That the playground had a civil
izing and ~elevating influence is not to
be doubted. Figures compiled in va
rious cities show that juvenile Of
lenses are fewest in localities where
recreation grounds are available.
They also show that there are fewer
accidents and injuries to children in
such neighborhoods. Children who
are raised up in the streets" make
trouble for themselves and for other
persons. In cities where there is not
a playground system it is inevitable
that children will play in the streets
for it is the nature of the child to
plav
No city ever made a bad investment
in buying a playground or in establish
ing a system of Fairgrounds.

Mr.. TAFT FAV0RS
ONE-TERM IDEA
IN LECTURE AT UNIVERSITY OF
VIRGINIA FORMER PRESIDENT
PRESENTS VIEWS

Charlottesville, Va, Jan. 28.-For-
mer President Taft emphasized. In
an address last night at the Univer-
sity of Virginia, his belief in the one
term idea as applied to the office OF
President of the United States.
Il am strongly inclined to the view"
he said, that 1t would have been a
wiser provision in the convention. to
make the term of the President seven
years and render him ineligible there
after. Such a change would give to
the Executive greater courage and IN
dependence in the discharge of his
duties.
THE absorbing and diverting in
terest in the reelection OF the In
cumbent taken by those federal civil
servants who regard their own tenure
as dependent upon his would disap-
pear and the efficiency of admins
tratiou in the last Is months of a
term would be maintained"
Mr. Taft was speaking at the open
ing Of q series Of three lectures on
the Barbour-Page Foundation. This
foundation Is supported by the In
come from an endowment given by
Mrs. Thomas Nelson Page. wife of
the United States Ambassador to Italy.
Mr.. Taft is the house guest OF Pre-
ident and Mrs. Alderman while he
Is at the university. The Colonnade
Club gave a reception In his honor
tonight.
Every. President does the best he
can" he said in conclusion. while we
may differ with him in judgment.
while we may think he does not bring
the general foresight TO his task, that
he may select poor instruments for
his assistants. and, therefore, may
properly vote against his continuance
IN office. we must remember that while
he is in office no Is the head OF our
government. We should Indulge In his
favor the strongest presumption that
he acts under high sense of duty
Correct ideals and disciplined intel
ligence acquired in great university
like this should impose on it's mem bers
a special RESPONSE bility as gentlemen
and Americans to conduct themselves
as friendly and respectful to continued
authority and to the President. beca use
IL was the American people who chose
him. and for the time being he is the
personal embodiment ana representa-
tive of their dignity and mejesty."

four stills which they destroyed. The
