MIR. KENNEDY AND CONCERTS
"O George G.. Kennedy, formerly
head of the city water depart

head of the city water depart
ment, and as such at that time
in charge of Reservoir Park, whose
death occurred Friday night, the peo-
pie of Harrisburg owe debt of graft
tude for his worldGn making free band
concerts a feature of summer life in
Harrisburg.
In the very early days, when Reser-
voir Park seemed a long way from
the center of the city and when 1t was
not the popular resort it is to-day,
Mr.. Kennedy conceived the idea of
that time the city had no golf courses,
no Fairgrounds, no tennis courts no
baseball diamonds, no public camping
places, no municipal amusements or
recreations whatsoever. Neither had
it any money with which to give band
concerts, so Mr.. Kennedy went out
among the public-spirited men of Har-
risburg and faised a fund for the pur-
pose. Not only one year did he do
this, but many. Single handed and
until the free band concert became a
permanent institution in Harrisburg.
Mr.. Kennedy was for many years
prominent in the public life of the
city, but he will be remembered as the
founder of the free band concert lons
after his other activities have been
forgotten.

WORSE THAN POWDER
BY Wing DinEer

The family's home from the country,
Where it spent the Fourth safe and
sane.
Each moment was brimful of pleasure,
On that score 1t cannot complain.
The kids have no powder burnt fingers
From cracker. or pistol, or gun,
For all of the time was devoted
To safe and sane methods Of fun.
Baseball and such games were indulged
in,
A trip round the golf course, or two,
And probably ten sets at tennis
Were some of the things we did do.
And while we were not burnt with
powder
While having this safe and sane fun,
I'll tell you we all got a good dose
OF burn from the blazing hot sun.

threaten the durability of the alliance
unless these three world powers re-
solve upon some common policy which
would remove Constantinople from in
ternational political jealousies. Can
this be done? Many students of the
eastern question believe 1t should be
done.
Russia has at least a moral right to
| an outlet into the Mediterranean. She
can be given such an outlet without
making her sole mistress of the Golden
Horn and the Hellespont. While as
the recognized leader of the Greek, or
Orthodox. Christian Church Russia
| very naturally aspires to succeed the
Sultan in possession of Yildiz Kiosk,
! political control of Stamboul is not es-
sential to Russia's safety or CONNER
cisl success. An open door" into the
Levant would suffice.
The naturalization of the Darda-
nelles would provide this open door"
Certainly Russia will be entitled to de-
mand at least this much IL the fortunes
of war permit Russia and her allies
to dictate favorable terms OF peace.
But the naturalization of the Dar-
danelles cannot be effectually guaran-
teed with Constantinople. the key, in
Turkish hands. in Russian hands or
in the hands OF any one nation. Inter
national jealousies require international
supervision, international control.
This fact suggests a permanent solu-
tion of the eastern question-which is
very largely Constantinople-alo
lines which would give realization to
an ideal. old as civilization itself, but
very recently crystallized into concrete
shape for serious consideration-a
world city, world center-a city of
peace, and for peace, upon the site of
the Thorn OF Europe'-the Stambou,
of Gladstone's 'Unspeakable Turk"
Why not world city of peace, as
someone has suggested, as the mod
ernized evolution of the city of Con-
stantine? The suitability, the avail
ability of the site itself. would solve a
serious problem.
There, on soil made sacred by the
most heroic and most tragic events in
the long period of contest between
western and eastern civilization, East
and West might meet in amity, in in
telligent comprehension, in world
thought and in world effort for a bet
ter. more peaceful, more progressive
universe.

THE NEW ASPHALT PLANT

THERE is work aplenty for the
new asphalt repair plant. The
streets of the city are in bad con-
dition, in a large part due to the
heritage left the present administration
by the unwillingness of the former
Highway Commissioner to insist on the
contractor living up to the terms of
his agreement.
However, not a little of the present
trouble can be traced to the cutting of
the asphalt for the laying IL pipes. OF
course, much of this cutting has been
unavoidable. Repairs and the growth
of the city are to some degree re-
sponsible. But there has been much
damage done also by the laying of
pipes that should have been placed be-
fore the paving was laid.
The city would be justified in re-
quiring by ordinance that all public
service and municipal pipes be put in
before the asphalt is laid. In this way
only can a repetition of much of the
present damage be avoided.
