LAND FOR PARKS

Purchase of land for a pubic mark invaria bly, IS confronted with the problem of what the land IS worth, The Board of Park Commis- sioners, economical and prudent. have before them a proposition to obtain land along Osgood avenue a good site for d park all admit. But the price for the 1S 1-2 acres is Sll,- 900. or nearly sS15 an acre, This the board believes is too high, and the others have been told to quote their rock bottom price at the next meet ing of the board,
 Residents of that section of the city naturally hope that the land can be procured by the board and con- verted into a park. Land offered to the city, however. for park or any other purposes, should be priced as low as possible. A park in that section in the course of time certainly will accrue to the advantage of all other property in the vicinity. The section is singular ly devoid of parks, it is growing rapidly. Cooperation between the owners of the land and the city is greatly desirable.

EVOLUTION IN ARKANSAS

Arkansas, there she stands, The high minded, intelligent and evolut- ing electors of that sovereign state have voted favorably upon a refer endum to prohibit reference to the theory of evolution in the public schools.
 The question naturally has arisen in that far-sighted state as to what to do with the dictionaries and the encyclopedias. These comprehensive compendums of learning and refer ence boldly tell all about the bad doctrine. the encyclopedias expound- ing it at length. Other volumes of reference do the same. It's a hard world for Arkansas.
 Perhaps fl will be ecessarv 10 bar the dictionaries from the state: the encyclopedias could be collected and buflls1 III front or the state capital
 Joking aside, we would be willing to bet at odds Of 10 to ] that the upcomlng youth ot Arkansas. Tn the years 10 come. will know more about evolution than they would have learned without the antl-eto olution law. Discovering the doctrine is illegal, they will make It their bus mess to find out all about IT, and for no other reason than if IS forbidden.

ELIMINATING MONUMENTS

Noting the fine effect at night at the World War memorial, due to the play of flood lights upon that im- pressive shaft, veterans of the Spanish-American war have been set to thinking that flood lights would be an equal advantage at the Spanish American memorial at the entrance to Willow Brook park. There can be no question that they are right in this connection.
 Illuminated monuments and illuminated buildings seems to be one of the striking developments of the age In the evening, when people are at leisure, an illuminated monument or building attracts more attention than those which are left to bask in darkness.
 Printers, however. have a neat saying. It is "all display is no dis play" If every important point in city is to be illuminated the point would soon be reached where the effect would be no more than pro- viding more light to see by. However, that's something.

A warrant for the arrest of the New Jersey motorist was given to the state police. and it was hoped the police would proceed. Instead, they did not serve the warrant, doing ab- solutely nothing that anyone Tn plainville can determine.
 The state police department, 1t IS said, are under the impression there is not sufficient evidence to convict III spite of the two witnesses. Since when is it the business of the police to weigh the evidence before 1t IS presented before a court? It is the business of the police to make ar- rests and bring their charges before a proper tribunal It is not their bus mess to decide upon the evidence beforehand.
 Regardless of the atrophy of the state police department in this case the law should not be allowed to de- pend entirely upon their whlllls. Let the authorities of Plainville pro ceed with vigor If the state police lack the energy. to go ahead there are other means to see that justice IS done, or attempted,

POOR WORK RN STATE POLICE

It IS impossible to observe the dIlatory methods of the state police in the case of Robert Lydon. fatally run down by q New Jersey motorist On October B in Plalnvllle. without growing impatient.
 Lydon it will be remembered, was feIied by one automobile. which stopped, and while lying ln the road was run over by another car which failed 10 stop, he subsequently dy- ing. The two Citlzsns in the first car took the number Of the fleeing car. This IS the chief evidence: both citl- zens agree as 10 the number. From this point on it was clearly a job for the state police to take action.
 How they failed 10 take acton IS seen from the record. The mum Der of the offending automobile was gwen to the state police with the hope that they would lose no time in bringing the New Jersey motorist to loot Plalnyills authorities called np the state police two or three times about lt- The police falied utterly to be more than casually interested.

SCHUBERT

One hundred years today the most poetic musician that ever liv- ed" went to his heavenly reward. His immature death at 32 was the result Of overUork, his lifelong struggle with poverty, and the pangs of dis appointment. His short span of life, however, enriched the world, and to few men has come such monumental recognition Of genius. The world has done we'll by Franz Schubert; 1t ap- preciates, values and understands. But these things did not come during Schubert's lifetime.
 Each day to him brought new in splrations. He worked at fever heat, hardpressed to keep pace with the thoughts that bubbled in hls mind. Once. in a tavern there was drinking of beer much conversation. and smoke filled the atmosphere. Schu- bert at table before a mug of brew was reading a volume of Shakes peare's poems. A melody runs in my mind; if I only had some music paper" 4 friend hastily scrubbed lines on the back Of J menu card for him, and Schubert immediately soar ed into that empyTean realm where his soul was. most at home. Before the gathering ended he had finished "Hark, Hark, the Lark"
 One evening his friend Spaun. visiting him, found him walking his room impetuously, drven from corner to corner as if mad. He explained he had just read the poem, "Erl King" and felt it should have an appropri- ate musical setting. Immediately he went to work under the glow of a dim lamp. Spaun waited patiently. In short time this song, the most dramatic ever written, was finished and was that same night.
 In somewhat the same fashion were born the deathless "Serenade& = the Ave Maria,' the "Wanderer. 7" He left to the world more than 600 songs, larger proportion of which are great than the output of any other song writer. In addition he wrote nine symphonies and multi tude Of other instrumental works His famous Unfinished" symphony, as well as many others of his works he never heard performed, indeed man yof them were nearly lost to posterity.
 What modest. -effacing genius Schubert was, All his life he had lived in Vienna, yet while lNsd III tHe sdllIe cllS He never had courage to meet him until upon the latters deathbed. A few years later his own Tyre snapped. on Nov. 19, 1928. Millions since then have sung or listened to his songs. And this will continue till the end of time.
