THE FIRST SPRING POEM. . One of the first spring poems ever written, -was composed by Solomon, who eang: "For, lo, the winter is past, the rain Is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the Hinging of the birds Is come, and the voice of the turtle Is heard In the land; the fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with tender grape give a good smell!" If people would write as good spring poetry as Solomon did there would be fewer office boys In editorial offices emptying fastebaskets.

JAPANESE people never kis3 each other. Come to think of it when they look at each other we cannot blame them for not wanting.

WELL the cloud season for frog legs is on so you will have to restrain your appetites now.

A HAMMOND ATHLETIC HELD. The spring and summer months are coming on and Hammond, a city of 30,000 inhabitants finds itself without anything In the way of a baseball and athletic field. High school track meets will be scheduled to be held from time to time and the baseball season will give way to the football season and yet no provision has been made for the enjoyment of wholesome games and sports under proper supervision. Chicago's splendid example of successful playgrounds does not seem to have provided the incentive for Hammond to "go and do likewise." One of these playgrounds is located at Hegewisch only four miles away. Chicago's playground plan contemplates the purchase of an entire block of ground and its exclusive use for playgrounds purposes and not the the erection of apparatus in the rear of a school house where the children are compelled to play around in the dirty cinders and ruin their shoes and clothes. The playground plan contemplates the scientific organization of play and not the disorganized play that prevails in the vicinity of every school in Hammond. There ought to be one playground on the northside, one in Robertsdale, one on the site of the manual train

ing school on South Calumet avenue

and the West Hammond authorities ought to provide space for one there.

The time to assure the constructions of these playgrounds at a moderate cost is now. It will be suicidal to wait until It will cost $25,000 to get sites that could be purchased for $10,000 to $15,000 now. These playgrounds should be undei the supervision of the school authorities. A custodian should be appointed for each one. Thus the objection that has been raised against the school yard play ground, namely, that it is improperly supervised will be overcome. Hammond is taking up the matter of providing playground facilities in the same way that it took up manual training and domestic science, in a makeshift manner. The time has come for Hammond to follow the more progressive cities in providing these facilities, for its children. As bad as the manual training school is needed it would be best to build it in units rather than neglect the present opportunity to get play grounds that will make the children, the growing youth and the young men of the city, happy for years to come. It would be fitting, if three playgrounds were purchased, for them to bear the names of the members of the school board who had the foresight to provide for them. Let's get a place where the boy can organize his play and where it will be properly supervised. The tlrae to act is now.

APPLIES ELSEWHERE. Answering the editorial of a Terra Haute paper that complained because of the bad name the city has obtained because of the actions of some of its notorious gangsters the Fort Wayne News hits the nail on the head with this: "For Terre Haute is blessed with thousands of as good people as can be found In any community. But they do not assert their citizenship, and are In a lafge measure recreant to a solemn duty. In this connection, however, it i3 only fair to say that conditions there are peculiar, and that a severe restraint is laid upon decent activity in public affairs from the fact that many of the leaders in the city's business and professional life are notoriously vicious and corrupt. Their business methods are unmoral and their private lives are immoral. Moreover, they dominate public aftairs and the citizen who attempts to combat their ways must be one who Is independent. He must be immune from boycott and secure from petty annoyance In his business. Still, It Is known and recognized even in Terre Haute that a concerted action on the part of those who are decent could end this offensive regime, and it Is the failure to take such action that lays the people of Terre Haute open to the severest censure. For a great majority of her people really have a desire for better things. They have simply allowed themselves to be dominated and bullied by a disreputable minority. They put vicious men In office because they allow crooks and bandits to run their

primaries, and they endure the burdens that bad government places upon them for the reason that long usage has hidden from them the knowledge that any other rule is possible. They accept it as mankind accepts death and taxes unpleasant but inescapable."

IN spite of his good nature, It is

probable that Mr. Taft will dodge the responsibility of acting as judge at

the Yale debating contests.

THE ENGLISH SUFFRAGETTE. What shall England do with the

suffragettes?

This is one of the most important questions for the government to settle, and the men who are guiding the

destinies of the country realize it.

They have come to the conclusion that

imprisoning the offending advocates

of votes for women is not nmvinir

1' - - - - o ffectual, so that other measures have to be taken. As applied to a resisting

jailed suffragette forcible feeding is

practically indistinguishable from .torture. It is therefore almost the exact opposite to what criminal punishment should be. Its deterrent effect is little while it causes great suffering to the prisoner. The government has been advised now to empower the courts to sentence the law offening suffragettes to deportation to some more or less distant island, and once there leave them at large, only preventing them from returning to England. ' Food and lodging would be offered to them, but no compulsion would be

health or well being than for that or any other inhabitant of the island.

FATE, as usual, Is cruel. Dayton

APPARENTLY the greatest surprise every sprung upon any congress was President Wilson's announcement to the present one that he was a human being.

THE LOAVES AND FISHES. There Is joy -in the heart of the federal office seeker at the report that President Wilson is giving signs

of modifying his ironclad rule about

leaving the distribution of patronage to others. Mr. Wilson is sitting up and taking notice hearing petitions and later consulting with heads of messes. It could hardly be otherwise, so many Presidential offers of position having been turned down. Said right from the start things would come out all right. Have a little patience. The administration is scarce forty days old yet. There are still 1,421 days to run.

CAPITAL AND LABOR. We are in receipt of a query asking what is the real difference between capital and labor, tersely expressed. Well its like this, when a young man sits in the parlor talking sweet

nothings to his best girl that's capital. But when he has to stay in at night after they're married, why that's labor.

THEN AND NOW. Those who wonder why many newspapers are waging a war on the indecent turkey trot, the bunny hug, the grizzly bear, and other immoral dances, which no one who Is respectable should participate In, may read the following, clipped from the London Telegraph: "I have a letter in my possession written by a friend to my greatgrandmother in the year 1817, at Christmas time, in which the lady expresses her grave disapproval of the "modern" tendency toward rapid dancing. The paragraph runs as follows: "I was yester evening at your Cousin Betty's, where I was much struck with the new-fashioned dances, which seemed, to me at any rate, to be, out of keeping with the propriety and modesty which we look for in young ladies of our class. I can only regret the disappearance of those 'mazurkas' and 'gavottes,' as well as the 'minuets,' and hope that these new dances or 'valses,'. as I think they are named, will quickly disappear from respectable society." If the waltz shocked them a century ago what would our great-great-grandmothers say to the revolting dances of the dives that have Invaded surroundings where the conventions, if not the moral code, are supposed to be observed?

THE American multi-miUionaire and his wife who dropped off at London on their way to the continent to see their baby, probably took the precaution to send a physician ahead to safeguard him against heart disease.

We have endeavored to have you catch the inspiration of this movement to build a little garden city within the limits of Hammond. . We would have failed in our efforts, however, were the people of Hammond th P381011 from the preceding talks that Kenwood is to be a "Ruffleshirt Mill, a Euclid Avenue district or even a Glendale park. The little $3,000 home is just as welcome as the one costing $25,000, for we know that the $3,000 home in a setting of flowers, vines, shrubs and trees will be as beautiful to the eye as the mansion next door. We do want the purchaser to catch the spirit of the enterprise and carry out as nearly as possible, the landscape gardening plan that will be presented to him free of cost. ; It is not the houses but the charm of close cropped lawns, the harmony of landscape gardening design, the open spaces filled with restful green that is to make Kenwood the most charming residential district in Hammond.
