Safeguarding Title Records.
IN SHINGTON.

From the New York Globe.
County Register Hopper's request for
$4,000 to defray the cost of erecting a
hreproof building somewhere outside
the city limits for the storage of real
estate records Is very much to the
point. Mr.. Hopper's idea is to keep the
originals in the hall of records for title
searching purposes and to store the
duplicate abstracts in a building on
the Catskill watershed or some other
isolated piece of city property instead
Of in the registers Office at present.
II the city's real estate records were
to be destroyed the loss to property
owners would be incaiculable. That
they are kept in a building supposed
to be freproof is no guarantee that
they are safe Mr. Hopper argues, and
he points to the Equitable building
and Albany capital fires as an example
of what might happen to the hall OF
records any day. Insurance and title
guarantee companies safeguard their
books and documents against fire or
other catastrophe by storing duplicate
sets out of the city. The wisdom of
adopting the same precautionary meas
ures in the case of documents of such
value as the city's real estate records
is so apparent that further comment
would be supertiuous.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, May THE result
of the republican primaries last Tues
day makes certain that the Maryland
delegation to the republican national
convention in Chicago next month will
go uninstructed There was an effort
made by a faction led by John Phillip
Hill to secure delegates favorable to
Hughes or Roosevelt, and a ticket was
put into the field, but with two excep-
tions the men on the Hill ticket went
down to defeat. The plan to send an
uninstructed delegation to Chicago was
championed by National Committee
man Jackson and William F. Stone, the
local leader and sergeant-at-arms Of
the national committee. 1t is the plan
of the Maryland leaders that the state
delegates shall use every effort in the
convention to bring about the nomina

Recreation.

From the Columbus Journal.
II is to be feared that the recreation
for children, so much talked about
these days. will, if not closely watched,
interfere with their education. 1t is
well to do a little thinking in this direc-
tion, seeing that youth have their own
way of providing for recreation and do
not depend upon the new methods of
enticing them to fun and activity. Be
sides il is good for a boy to rig up his
own methods of amusement. Catering
to boys and girls with all sorts Of de-
vices to amuse them do them more
harm than good Turn them loose, give
them liberty, let them enjoy themselves,
and they will be stronger and better
for it, In these days of pleasure and
amusement it would be better for the
youth II they were restrained a little
rather than encouraged. Making a boy
dependent upon others for fun will tend
to make him dependent for his needs in
after life. Education without self-re-
lance is a failure.
