A Town's Lungs

A park is the lungs of a town. As with individuals the lungs must be developed In youth while there is yet time not after the organism is filled with soot and hemmed in. .' ; ' ;: y :'" The proposal of the Commercial club to make a real park system at a comparatively small cost is one of those things usually called "timely." And "timely" means', in this particular connection, a thing which, if not done now, will never be done except at greater cost or lost, past al redemption, through shortsightedness. We, most of us don't care much how. the thing is done so it be done with ordinary decency the thing after all to keep your eye on is to get it done and that without being blocked by any special interest. The lungs of a city. If you think of a town as being a place in which most of your life is spent a place to live a place to work a place to rear children for the work and play that is. to be done later it's pretty plain that this ought to be done now. The lungs of a town. The purifying influence of trees and grass "and flowers of sunshine and fresh air Is not to be laughed at by those who do or do not own automobiles. Men die of the lack of it women grow Into machines for lack of It and young girls are debauched because they do not know that God Is in His Heaven. ' ' And you do not have to go to Halstead street in Chicago to see it Eighth and Main is closer.

So much for the human end of it. Put it on purely a business basis, you that think in terms of dollars and cents. Think first what It will mean in dollars and cents on the real estate side of it. Think also what it will mean In the value of boosting the town as a good place to live. It has something to do with the labor problem. It has something to do with the future growth of the city. And those who are interested in all sorts of modern things such as municipal regulation of real estate values and civic growth things very well developed in Imperial Germany those who are interested in the work of civic centers and that of Charles Mulford Robinson the doctor of tubercular towns all these will find something in the project to interest them. This is not the first time that this idea has been brought forward. It should not be allowed to drift toward the money making end of manipulation that goes without saying the town must be big enough to see what this really means and not let this drift into the bubble state and flit away until it shatters irridescently on cynicism.

We all know what this town has We all know what it can do when

Many things have been killed because of special interest and many things have been done because of special interest All that we, or anyone else, can see to this proposition is to see the big and vital thing in it the chance to give the town lungs. It Is not worth while to go Into all the little details here as to where this cornerstone should be nor to set forth at length the facts of range such and such and the addition to Richmond such and such get the big Idea.

We are interested from the standpoint of the everyday common citizen we see no way for the city administration to take such a step but we are not among those who throw their hands up and count it a mark of superior wisdom to find the flaw and not the future. " It can be done. And without going Into the little side of it we wish to say to the people of this town that here is a real chance to add , to the life of every cltlsen and: make the world better and more liveable for those of us who find it sometimes too much work and very little pay and play. It's the -living and doing that count

Items Gathered In From Far and Near The Only Man. What other man in the country would have done it? What other man in the country could have done It? When the most distinguished merchants, jurists, scholars and publicists of Chicago did not dare ask to see the Hamilton club's invitation list assuming that they with whom the Hamllton club would dine were proper men how did T. R. dare to butt in. Another private citizen would have been snubbed for taking Roosevelt's stand his invitation, not Lorimer's, would have been withdrawn. A lesser public man would have been accused of making a grandstand play for notoriety. But Mr. Roosevelt could do it, and make it work, too. Why? Because he has always done It. because that has alwaya been his stand, because an acceptance of an invitation to dine with Lorlmer would practically be to eat his own principles. Detroit News. ' .

It is a rather novel feature of our literature that it should lay hold on practical problems of the moment It Is true that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was an exception, but it was not written for political purposes, nor even to at tack the' south. Mrs. Stowe was the most astonished woman in America not only over the popularity of her book, but over the attacks which were made upon it In the south. One of her objects In writing the book was to show the better side of slavery and she hoped that it would have some effect in reconciling the two sections. Slavery as pictured in Kentucky had few horrors, save as accident made it necessary to break family ties. On the other hand, the worst character in the book. Legree, was a Vermonter, and a New England spinster filled the comedy role. What happened is now history. Philadel phia Bulletin. This Is My 70th Birthday WILLIAM HENRY SCOTT. Professor William Henry; Scott, who is about to retire from the faculty of Ohio State University after serving the Institution continuously for nearly thirty years, was born In Athens County, Ohio, Sept 14. 1840. After graduating from Ohio University in 1S62 he taught school for two years in the town of Athens and then served a year as principal of the preparatory department of Ohio University. From 1865 to 1869 he occupied Methodist pulpits in Columbus and other cities of Ohio. In 1869 he became professor of Greek in Ohio University and from 1872 to 1883 he was president of the university. From 1S83 to 1895 he was president of Ohio State University, during which time the institution grew from one with an instructional force of sixteen members and only one or two buildings to university size with a facIN HISTORY"

Editor of the Palladium: Mr. S.E. Swayne's opinions of the present political and economical conditions of this country, set. forth in Louis Ludlow's letter In today's Indianapolis Star, in such sane and attractive para graphs gives rise to a wonder why such men as Mr. Swayne are not in t congress. A vast majority of the con gress of the United Statets is composed of lawyers, retained by themselves to advocate their own election, hav; ing no practical experience in indus trial affairs. Ex-Prcsident Roosevelt (whom all reformers conjure by) said In a characteristic address to the stu dents of the university of Egypt recently delivered In the ancient City of Cairo, "No people has permanently amounted to. anything whose only public leaders were clerks, politicians and lawyers." If this analysis of the renowned tribune" of popular rights and the "square deal''4s correct, then the civil isation of our own country must be in danger of immediate collapse, for a census of our national law makers in Washington shows fifty lawyers controlling the membership of the United States senate, while in the house of representatives we have 212 law yers in a total membership of 319. If this be only Mr. Roosevelt's imaginary "lion in our path" to lasting great ness, or only a stuffed Teddy-bear to frighten the nations it need not paralyze popular confidence in the. republic. But if there is any real wisdom in the declaration,, we can avejt the evil by making the national congress fairly representative of all the professions and trades and business interests of the people. In these days we give our best thought to the practical things of life to our everyday work. Industrial complications, commercial transactions, agricultural questions, labor and social problems, consideration and care for the public health, liberal provision for the education of all classes, aid and protection for the de fective and unfortunate, equality (so far as law governs) of people and races under our flag these are the things that command attention and occupy the thoughts of our citizens and our legislatures, both state and national, should be composed of representatives of each and every such interest, in just proportion, to guarantee the making of laws fair to every Interest thus represented.

Important Issues In Illinois; to Hold Primaries Tomorrow

(American News Service. J . Chicago, Sept 14. Illinois' new direct primary law the fourth .since 1905 will be given its "first test tomorrow, when all parties will name their candidates for state, congressional, legislative, county and judicial offices. The campaign has been one of j the most exciting in the political his-1 tory of Illinois. In the contest for j state and legislative offices the Lorim- J er scandal has been the paramount J issue, with national and other local matters mixed in. In the congression-1 al campaign Cannonism, the Payne ! tariff bill and the high cost of living have been the subjects most dis- j cussed. The better element of both parties is supporting the proposition that the legislature shall be cleaned out from top to bottom of all men who voted for William Lorimer for United States senator. There are 204 members of the legislature, of whom 55 republicans and 53 democrats, 108 in all, voted for Lorimer for senator. Four of the 108 have confessed that they were bribed to vote for Senator Lorimer. Another, who has not confessed, has already been tried once for bribery, and is now being tried the second time. Still anofher has been Indicted for alleged bribery. About twenty of the legislature who voted for Lorimer are not candidates for renominatlon. Several others are hold over senators who can not be reached at the coming elec tion. The Interest taken in the movement to purify the legislature has brought candidates galore. The democrats, believing they have a chance to capture the legislature, have put up two candidates in practically every district of the state, and the republicans have done likewise. For the 155 seats in the lower house 589 candidates are entered in the primaries, and for the twenty-six- state senatorships to be filled there are 182 aspir ants. The fight of Insurgency against Btandpattism has also brought out candidates in plenty for congressional seats. For the twenty-five seats Illinois has in the national house of representatives 154 candidates are seeking party nomination. The prediction is made that few, If any of the Illinois congressmen will be returned with the old time majorities behind them. One of the dele gation, Frank O. Lowden, decided not to stand for re-election, and half a 'dozen others have serious contests on their hands for renominatlon. One democrat, James P. McDermott of the Fourth district, has been turn ed down by the democratic organization because he voted In aid of Cannon house organization last March. In the republican ranks the signs of inusrgency are pronounced. The lead ing republican members have opposition in almdst every instance. Two republicans are contesting for the seat of William J. Moxley in the Sixth dictrlct. Moxley has come in for much notoriety the past year and his defeat is considered likely. Recently he was forced to pay the government a fine of $20,000 for violation of the oleomargarine law and his firm has also been repeatedly mentioned in connection with "butter moonshlning" in Chicago. The real surprise of the congressional contest is likely to occur in the Ninth district, where Henry S. Boutell, member of the ways and means TWINKLES BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. Explained.

Howard M. Snapp of the Eleventh dis trict who is an out- and-out Cannon man had a very serious contest on his hands - and withdrew from the race.

James R. Mann in the Second, William W. Wilson in the Third. Fred Lundin in the Seventh, George Edmund Fobs in the Tenth, and Speaker Cannon in the , Eighteenth. There is no opposition among the republicans to the renominatlon of Representatives Charles E. Fuller In the Twelfth district James McKinncy in the Fourteenth, George W. Prince in the Fifteenth, Joseph C. Graff in the Sixteenth and William Mckinley in the Nineteenth district. Three republicans are contesting for Frank O. Lowden's seat in the Thirteenth district.

WEIGHING THE EARTH

New York Professor After Examination Makes it 7,000,000,000,000 Tons. FIGURES ABOUT ACCURATE. New York, Sept 14. Hoping nobody is disturbed by the liberty that he takes, Reinhard A, Wetsel is weighing the earth every once In a whiles and yesterday, at the opening of the College of the City of New York, he showed bis improved apparatus which be has perfected for that purpose. . Mr. Wetsel has the contrivance set up In the department : of physics, in which he is one of the Instructors, -- and after midnight when everybody,, on this part of the globe Is moderatly still, he tosses the terrestial sphere on his balances. Nobody notices at . all that he Is doing it One of these nights he may say to all of us: "Won't you please step oft 01 the earth just for a minute until I weigh it net?" Mr. Wetzel suspends two small silver balls each weighing a gram on a fine filament made by drawing out : melted quarts by means of a flying arrow. This fine strand Is hung Jn a brass tube which rests on a concrete -pier and the pier is steeped In a pocket of sand. This prevents vibration. Two large balls of lead were then suspended on a turning frame at various distances and by means of the read-; lngs of a guage, the scale of which is reflected by electric light, the change of position in the small ball made by the attraction of the large ones is determined. From that It ti easy to calculate what the attraction of the larger balls would be If they were as big as the earth. Mr, Wetzel therefore declares that yesterday the earth weighed 6,030,000,000.000.000,000,000,000,000 grams or seven trillions of tons. There may be slight variations In different latitudes, but for purposes of determining how much should be observed tor anything like that those figures are guaranteed to be reasonably accurate.
