Fairgrounds.

The desirability Of having more play
space In the capital for boys has been
set forth many times. and this need
has been brought to public notice
thrice within day or two: The super.
visor Of Fairgrounds has appealed to
owners Of vacant lots in the city that
they lend them for recreationaI use
Boys at play are not wanted in the
streets. They are a peril to pedes.
TRANS. an impeachment to wheel trahic
and they endanger themselves. It ia
contrary to police orders to play foot
bali and other athletic games in the
public ways. and the Fairgrounds de.
partment seeks to ind vacant lots
that the boys shall not 90 playless and
that they shall not defy police regu.
lations. Commissioner Boardman has
Endorsed and repeated the appeal OF
the Fairgrounds department. This
matter was also brought to public no.

country. The pact II the paramount
issue In his campaign; ana not even
his opponents question his sincerity.
And yet the two Georgia senators
will be expected to antagonist the new
administration on its principal policy.
When the pact, with or without reser-
vations. is submitted. the two Georgia
senators must record themselves
against it, or disobey instructions.
This will be agreeable enough to Mr..
Watson. He Is not only against the
treaty. but 10. and has been. q severe
critic Of the administration on its
whole course. He likes no feature Of
it's record.
But Mr.. Harris Is q friend of the ad-
ministration. and q personal friend Of
the President. Indeed, he secured his
seat in the Senate through the Presi-
dents influence. and in the Senate has
voted for the treaty just a. the Presi-
dent submitted it, How could he obey
instructions without crossing his
tracks and parting company with his
friend and sponsor?
1t would appear likely that, after
the election, something-something
very famous-will break loose in Geor-
GA.

The Railroads and Prices.

The nicely OF the existing balance
between prices and the efficiency OF
the TRANSPORTATION system Of the coun-
try is brought out with telling ERECT
by the board Of directors Of the Cham.
Der of Commerce Of the United States.
Referring to a tendency on the part
of the roads, speaking generally. to
withhold orders for the purchase Of
new equipment because of the current
high interests they would have to pay
on the money they must borrow. the
board proceeds: Rates are high be-
cause credits are tied up. And credits
are tied up because. owing to lack of
equipment. prompt transportation Of
commodities is today impossible and
the delivery Of goods, essential to the
release of credit. seriously delayed.
The soundness of the logic in the
indicated argument is more pro-
nounced than its originality. For
some time past the nation has been
aware that shortage of equipment on
the part Of the railroads was contrib
uting largely to the high prices IT
commodities In general. That the full
import of this truth should be brought
home to the roads through the dis
covery Of the fact that equipment
shortage is responsible for the high
price of money. the commodity in
which they are at present most inter-
ested, is no more than poetic justice.
There should be. however, no tend
ency to blame unduly the roads for
the situation as it exists. Response
bility for the plight in which they find
themselves today is very Tar from
theirs alone. Yet. with the situation
as it exists. responsibility for -extricat-
ing themselves from that plight. with
such governmental assistance as has
been vouchsafed. is theirs. That they
will better themselves. as well as the
country at large, by the prompt pur-
chase Of much.needed equipment. pay
ing whatever the price OF money may
be, is sound advice.

Driving Courtesy.

There is in Washington a gentle
man who drives gray roadster. Yes
terday evening he was wearing blue
necktie, polka dotted with white, and
q cheerful grin as he drove up to an
intersection Of two downtown streets.
There was an old lady crossing ahead
Of him as he came along. She was
fat and gray-haired and seemed very
tired. And her arms were full Of bun
dies in variety Of shapes. She moved
quite unconsciously and very slowly
from the curb-directly in the path Of
the approaching machine.
One expected to hear the blast Of
the klaxon-to see the tired old
woman. seized with panic. harried by
the barely checked threat Of the ma.
chimes approach, forced into a pittful
run. One sees that SO often. that and
the angry scowl of driver as, having
gained his point. he steps on her
tail" and scoots along. There was
none Of this. The gray roadster was
brought to a full stop twenty feet
from the lady with the bundles. There
was neither scream Of brakes nor
blast Of horn. And he Of the blue and
white necktie was still grinning in a
friendly fashion as he lifted his hat.
She didn't even see him-the tired
old lady. But, then. that was the es.
sence Of his courtesy. And 50, for the
many who appreciate the innate kind
illness Of a gentleman. The Star takes
it upon itself to thank the driver.

Fire Warnings.

Inflammable trash around the fur
mace is the cause of numerous hres,
and the fire chief does well in issuing
an appeal to business men and house
holders ito eliminate fire sources
around furnaces and stoves before
starting in on the coal pile"
The detective fue has been one
cause Of vast property loss and Chief
Watson advises housekeepers or their
husbands to see that the chimneys and
stovepipes are in good condition, which
means with other things that they
shall be clean and unobstructed and
that the stovepipes are properly con-
nected. @'s3t
Another areause OF many fires has
been a curtain at an open window
blown in contact with a gas light. The
FIRE chief points out that open lights
and swinging lamps are source Of
danger. and that precaution should be
taken that curtains or other inflam-
mable material shall not come in con.
tact with such lights.
Matches are most useful things in
themselves. but are not to be kept
where children may make playthings
OF, them,- or where mice may znaw
them. Care should be taken that hot
Goals from the stove or furnace shall
not be put In wooden boxes or cans
containing infiammable trash. Pipe
ashes and cigar and cigarette butts
are to be properly looked after.
Perhaps the most important Of the
Recommendations is that waste paper,
rags. packing materials, old furniture
and the like shall not be allowed near
stove or furnace. -
With common sense precautions the
fire peril can be reduced to a very low
risk.

Grant Memorial.

Another and important step has been
taken toward completion of the Grant
memorial in the Botanic Garden.
statue of Gen. Grant-has arrived. and
il is promised that the work of EN-
placing it will be begun in few days.
The dedication of the memorial is a
ington and multitude of their friends
from the provinces may soon be in
vited to attend
Long ago Congress gave authority
for this memorial and determined that
it should stand within the Botanic
Garden. Several strong objections
were urged against the site. One was
that it was not central and conspicu-
Gus. but in hole at the foot OF Capt.
toll Hill. and unworthy of the grea t
American whom it commemorated.
Another was that ii required the de-
struction of. certain trees that had
stood for perhaps half a century as
memorials to great Americans. The
objections were overruled.
In 1902 the competition of sculptors
and their designs was held. The base
Of the memorial was built in 1906.
There has arisen several times criti-
cism of the rate Of progress on this
memorial, but the defense has been
that the length Of time required was
not out Of proportion to the number.
variety and size of the figures COM
posing the. cavalry and artillery groups
and the massiveness of the figure of
Gen. Grant and the horse he rides.
Criticism and impotence yielded be-
fore the explanation. Now the GEN.
trail figures. man and horse. of bronze
are here.
When the Botanic Garden shall
have been removed to another and
better location. where it will have
room for growth, and when the trees
at this end Of the Mall and the build
ings between 1t and the Avenue shall
have been removed the site of the
Grant memorial will be rendered ade-
auate. and the memorial itself will be
one Of. the majestic statue groups of
the world ~. -. = -. -

The Cubans hold their presidential

been conducted. The people have been
having "a halcyon and vociferous
time" Charges Of intended fraud at
the polls are circulating. each party

Cuban government it's desire for a fair

cable from Havana says:
so far as the public is advised
however. there has been no formal
warning as to what might be expected
In the; event these intimations are is-
nored."
Maybe the charges have been exar.
gerated. We know how that is our.
