Growing Old in New York.

Who and where are the old men of
New York City?-the kind familiar to
everyday observation in other communi
ties, white-bearded, rheumatic, definitely
shelved beside the current of life and
nourished only by its tender lappings.
The question has been asked before. DR..
Louis R. Welzmiller, physical director of
the West Side Young Mems Christian
Association, makes this interesting re-
ply: more than two thousand men have
been given physical examinations at this
association during the last year. Many
of them were men of forty-and some
less-and they had all the symptoms Of
old age and senile breakdown"
The old men of New York are the pre-
maturely old; and they may be found
everywhere-in the Offices, in the cafes,
in the streets. They have largely dis
placed the other type.
Is this condition due to the unremt-
ting toll of our business men, as DR..
Welzmiller would fatter US into believ-
ing? Or is their excessive industry one
of those ancient myths we have imbibed
with our mothers milk, like the one, for
example, concerning American thrift?
The business men of New York rush
down to work in the morning, crushed
into subway expresses, rafting newspa-
pers. They reverse the rush at night, a
little paler and more irritable, having
dictated some letters, attended abortive
Conferences" bolted their food and
spent hours over drinks and cigars. They
must get home in time to eat dinner be-
fore going to the show or to the billiard
parlors or to the poker party or to the
dancing pavilion. Let us, for once, be
candid with ourselves. Probably one
New York business man in ten is hurt
ing himself from really too close at
tention to business, unless it is the bust
ness of drinking too many cocktails, eat
ing too heavy meals, smoking too many
cigars, staying up too late O nights
wasting plentiful leisure in unwhole-
some indulgence.
Greater industry, il coupled with
wholesome recreation, would do them all
good. 1t would help to restore to New
York those old gray-bearded folk whose
evidence of lives temporarily spent has
a good influence on any community.

any dissension when both are allowed to

For some time past Mr.. Wilson has
been losing his sense of values. He has
grossly misread public opinion in his
Mexican policy and in his advocacy OF
the ship purchase bill. In his appoint

sorry level Of craftsmanship hitherto
monopolized in this administration by

Against Religious Segregation.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In The Tribune Of February 90 an
extraordinary suggestion is made By the
Rev John Kearney that the state should
separate the Jewish and Roman Catholic
children from the American children in its
national schools by placing the former in
different buildings or on different floors of
the school building. AS our national public
school system, By giving equal educational
advantages to all, has always proved most
effective method OF making patriotic Ameri-
can citizens out of the foreign elements. il
is not advisable that the state should change
its historical. well tried policy.

Sir: After a delightful visit at the Bush

A bill to set aside land to be
be used for a game preserve and
state park will come up for ~
hearing at this session of the
general assembly. Every Mis-
sonrian ought to feel a personal
interest in the passage of this
bill, for the tract which it would
set apart as a public playground
is in the central part of Mis-.
SOuri.
The OzarkS should be the
Switzerland of America and be
developed for the enjoyment of
the tourist and all our people.
Ha Ha T0nka Park in Camden
county, Missouri, has been
known to but few lovers of nm.
adorned nature and rare sport.
The great natural wonders are
all in q solid tract of land of
about GOO acres, which makes
the locality famous. Only a few
tourists. together with a passing
stream of sportsmen, have had
the good fortune to SEQ this fair
land in our OzarkS.
Aside from the 600 acres in
lila Ha Tonka proper, the owners
also have about 1870 acres in
the immediate vicinity. The
state has the power to condemn
more land if necessary for park
purposes. We trust this scenic
wonderland of Missouri will be
made a state park and be open
to all the people as a show place
and playground provided, of
course that it can be bought at a
reasonable price.
