The Park Board IS entitled 10 I deal of popular approval for the splendid manner in which the flower gardens in Central park are main- tained This mark Of beauty within the heart of the city cannot help at tracting the attention of all those not ln too much of a hurry to take mo- tice. Each year, ir seems, the flower beds are extended in greater pro- fusion, and if the present pace con- tlnues Central park may yet become a Horticultural show place. And 1t is 10 be noted in passing that there are no complaints that any part Of the public IS so thoughtless or unappre- ciatlve as to mar the beauty of the gardening. The Park board, too, has been keeping the park in front Of the railroad station ln splendid shape and there are signs that this spot also will be made more beauti- tul in the future.

FARM RELIEF VIA RATES

The latest important order Of the Interstate Commerce Commission forces 2 reduction in rates on grain over the Western railroads, which will reduce their income by sI5 oQo,- 900 a year. Recently, however, the Commission ordered an increase in rates on certain California fruits to- ralling q similar amount-in theory.
 The reduction in grain rates, 1t IS said. is to stimulate exports by mak- ing # possible 10 transport the grain 10 the seaports at less cost. Such ! method has not worked in the past. The small reduction per bushel thus achieved usually IS met by for etgn producers who likewise cater to he world market. and the price for grain in the international market continues to be made at Liverpool.
 The reduction in grain rates is the contribution ot the I. C. c. 10 farm relief" via. the power Of the Govern- ment. The relief" will probably continue to be of chimerical character.

PRODUCTS FROM RUSSIA

Refusal Of the Treasury depart ment to permit further lmportations of lumber from Rtssia, with the ex- planation that the lumber or some of 1t has been placed aboard ships by convicts or forced labor, may be just if the facts are as represented The American nation does not want convict labor abroad to compete with any American industry in its own land.
 But there is need for more deli nite knowledge. And it is barely pos sible that the Russians could pro- duce the lumber or get 1t aboard ships without the aid of convict labor after this detail is brought to their attention.
 We have been reading for years that our own lumber supply has been dvindling and that in the East it is necessary to bring lumber from long distances at a high cost, AS regards pulp wood. which has been included in the shipments from Russia. we have been relying large ly upon Canadian supplies.
 Incidentally the embargo agalnst Russian lumber is 8 terrific blow to

 In theory this is a pretty argu- ment; in practice it frequently does not work. In frequent instances wages particularly the wages con- ing to workmen who are engaged in semi-skilled employments, are not sufficient to cover more than the necessities. If the worker can save anything at all his reserve surplus is apt to be depleted by sickness. ac- cident or periods Of unemployment. Such hazards are not of his own making and he is in no way to blame for being the victim of misfortune. Many the worker, therefore, who is impoverished when reaching . after having lived an honest hard working life. Society has valued his presence at s5,0O0-the sum which statistiCians say every person con- tributes to society by his mere pres ence in the land of the living It might be said in many instances that somebody gets the s5,o0o not necessarily the worker.

OLD AGE PENSIONS AND INDU STRIAIlSM

Old age pension systems that one reads about are q product of indus rrialisn. Before the development Of the factory system to it's present overwhelming status. with corpora +inns rather than individuals as em- ployers, such schemes were un- thought because they were unneces- ssrv. Today an aroused public con- science has created old age pension systems in California. Nevada, Mon ta1a. Wisconsin, New York and Massachusetts for needy persons over 70 years of age. The scheme is cheaper than maintaining the needy in almshouses, regardless Of the more select or fancy names under which these institutions may be To- cally known.
 Tn the days when employers were small employers and knew each workman bv his first name and kept most of them in his service through our life, he took a personal interes- and pride in their welfare. None would suffer poverty in old age Ii the employer knew it, for some sys- fem of permitting him to maintain himself was always found.
 The average modern corporation Is an entirely different organization. The executives do not know the workmen by their first names; the executivs themselves are virtually hired men and may be with some other corporation next week.
 Some corporations, more farsighted and humane than the average, have adopted pension systems of their own, and are to be highly commend ed for this effort to ameliorate the inevitable result of modern indus trialism. But they do not constitute the average. Many concerns, unfor- tunately, regard their help as commodity, to be bought and sold as such. And under such conditions when the elderly workman slows up he inevitably is elbowed out of the picture by the younger workman.
 It might be said that nobody i'll particular is to blame for these con- ditions, and that the workman, knowing the hazards of old age,

The attitude Of Colonel Charles 4. Llndbargh toward some news papers $ easily comprehended and is justified. That type Of personal curiosity" which included trailing him while he was on his honeymoon, for instan nee, does not appeal to either the public CT reputable news papers.
 It appears that the Colonel has a list ot the newspapers that he abhors and also 2 list Of those which have treated him fairly. Among the latter is the Associated Press we are glad to note
 The gossip sheets which through all manner Of means, including bribery. attempt to obtain family secrets do not. as they imagine. represent the normal interest of the public. They pander to q small DOT ton Of rhe publc-the moron con- tingent-and do so sans decency and responsibility.

DROUGHTS AND ELECTIONS

The present has been a year of q great drought It is recent history. Over large sections Of the country less than one half the normal rain- fall came from the clouds this sum mer.
 Droughts have serious influences upon politics. IL was President Roosevelt who said in 1902 that Kansas and Nebraska visited upon our G. 2. Republican, heads the failure 10 raise good crops in the arid belt eight. ten or q dozen years ago" The Rough Rider" referred Of course 10 the drought Of 1890. when less rain fell than in any Of the preceding 15 years, This great drought Of 1890 was one of the main contributing factors 10 the disastrous Republican defeat in the congress sional elections Of that year. Other factors were transportation difhcul- ties. scarcity of money, low prices of farm products, and the extensive in debtedness incurred by farmers.
 It is being hoped by the Adminis- tration spokesmen that the condition Of 1880 IS different from that of 1890. Tn some respects, however. there is similarity. Only the reasons for producing the surplus Of farm. crops are different.
 In the years preceding 1890 an unusual amount of rainfall had tempted farmers to spread into areas normally semi-arid When less rain fell inI890 crops were destroyed over wide areas, and the farmers had greatly reduced crops to market.
 Directly the opposite is the case today, farmers suffering from q vast surplus. But other conditions are the same. In 1890 as now the dollar rose in value. so that the dollar which the farmer repaid for loans was worth more than the dollar he had borrowed previously Similarly, too, the farmers in 1890, like those of 1880. suffered from q lack of pros perity, This IS the thing that counts politically, regardless of the causes.
 AS q result Of the agrarian dis satisfaction in the elections of 1890, the House in 1891 showed a Demo- cratic plurality of 143, replacing a Republican plurality of 17; and the Republican Senate plurality was re- duced from 10 to :.
 ! The Administration unquestion- ably fears political trouble in the grain belt this Fall. There seems tC be good reason to worry. The Ad- rlnistration, rightly or wrongly, k { blamed for everything, And this is natural seeing that every Admlnis- tration greedily assumes credit fol every item of good news, regardless or not whether it is entitled to such credit.

over its first skyscraper, now shoot ing up 25 stories, the tallest build ing incidentally on this side of the Atlantic. The town divided into fac tions, families quit speaking and there were three exciting street clashes, But the Woolworthians won and they have reached the 18th story.
 Across the narrow street running alongside this hotel is a dingy grog- gerry, patronized by seamen. A hor- rible scraping gramophone is grind ing out Happy Days are Here Again while parakeets sUaying from the ceiling chatter. I just peck ed out my window into it and saw husky dock wallopers dancing about oh a sanded floor. All memb bers of my troupe are at the world exhibi- ton on the other side of town-an exhibition at which America. by the way, is not represented. Every now and then the door to my room in this barn-like inn suddenly squeaks and slowly opens-and no one is there. The dog is acting strangely, jumping out of a sound nap at intervals with a bristling back to circle about with menacing growls. And if something isn't breathing heavily under the bed I'm a. cock-eyed liar. The way I feel right now this is probably the last article from me.
