President Wilson considers that the personal delivery of his message on the tariff to the members of congress | has brought them in closer touch with each other, but in the minds of many in the house and senate it bears the opposite interpretation. It is of course an exercise of the right of the pres- ident, a privilege which, while unusual, is in accordance with the attitude which President Wilson has manifest- ed concerning customs and privileges since his election. He seeks to char- acterize his administration by doing something different. That he cam do it is apparent, but the outcome needs to be awaited to demonstrate the wis- dom thereof. Tn his message the president has dealt with a general statement of the needs of tariff revision, setting forth the position of the party and its pledge. He mot only gained the ear of <ongress by the personal delivery. but he gained the consideration of the na- tion, as to what he had to say, by the brevity of his communication. He has manifested a sincerity as to purpose and accomplishment, though the abol- 1905, average ishing of the tariff for a contest of | wits does mot seem to be justified by he facts in bringing about an ad- tment of the economic condition of | country. Making law which re with the facts of the d iccordanee with the idea W nder tariff commission wa zed operated. but from the schedule | submitted litile attention has been giv- | en to the findings. Dealing with facts Is one thing and theory another, but confusfon of the two is what the country seems to be facing. PLAYGROUNDS. i Norwich has much reason to be in- ter in the effort to stimulat greater interest in and better the | playground movement, that the best lts may be obtained therefrom re is the need of giving the proper to it as to any project >cessful results are expe playgrounds have been | the second year, not attention which s r two years maintained and only wider appreciation was manifest- ed, but better results were obtained through the organized efforts which were devoted to the movement. For a betterment of t en, through in- creasing the ar supervision, is the worthy the association | which has p -d the playgrounds in endeavoring (o supply the needs of the children in this direction, both for their present and future good. The playground movement is sweep- ing over the country like a tide, and the eagerness with which it is being taken up and helped along is an indi- cation of its value and its timeliness. It is meeting the needs primas by providing the grounds and apparatus for the proper indulgence in profitable ¥ and secondarily in giving the supervision which is a mecessary part of the plan for accomplishing the greatest amount of succe; Provid- pervision for the grounds to take rge of the right observance of leis- time, is as important as providing superintendent of schools to take of the indoor work during the iod of education. Proper education | res teachers and the best results play come from proper direction influence. JUSTICE FOR ALL. When New Jersey officials attempted to remove the influence of W. D. Hay- wood from the silk strike which has existed in it state far the past month, ik eeded their rights un- der the ls s demonstrated by the action of -i; him his libert higher court which gave This of course meant the return of Haywood to his leader- hip of the strikers and to the as- sembling of the followers for a dis- cussion of their troubles. When he announced thereafter that his release gave them the right to assemble and that it was a victory for the work- ingman, he took advantage of the minds of his hearers and the true facts in the matter under consideration. The decision of the court was sim- ply a demonstration of justice, which helongs as much to the workingman other member of Hoctety, no vietory thera above always existed It was the upholding of the law and ) that whether he was a worlk- va2man, a leader of sirikers or a man- sincturer, as long as he conducted nself within the prascribed limite of iie law he was not to be punished, The right to assemble it as mueh that of a party of strikers as it would be of that mame body of people if they were not on a strike, previded thex conducted themselves within the r&- quirements of the law, The naerest and the discharge have made if ap- parent thet justiee is obtaimable for all allke. to any was has ere | up The sixty-third congress. a thor- oughly demecratic bedy, is on its way, with the distinetion of being the first under demecratic centrel in all de- partments since the first half of the second Cleveland administration. The house has a large majority for the democratic party while the senate’s majority over both tke republicans and the two progressives gives it a fair leeway on matters vhere there is no friction within their own lines. This strength places the responsibility upen the democrats for whatever legislation is enacted. They are in control and the blame or the credit go hand in hand therewlith. For the present it is the tariff which alone holds the consideration of the body and as the president declares it is necessary for early and prompt ac- tion “that the business interests of the country may not be kept too long in suspense.” It is a question which will not be decided in a week or a month. Most important principles are concerned and there deserves to be a full, fair and free consideration of facts and the proposed changes by schedule before a vote thereon is at- tempted, even though there is a dem- ocratic contrel. There must be an honest consideration of the weilfare of the country as much as the party pledge. This is going to keep the ses- sion well occupied for even among the democrats there is a difference of opinion on the tariff. This, therefore, promises to occupy attention for the most of the opening session, but cur- rency reform, the Philippines. Panama canal and Alaska are important mat- ters upon which early action will be demanded. VALUABLE RECLAMATION. Not only are the trade schoois of great importance as conducted by the state for bettering the advantages of the young people after they complete their grammar school course, but they are also most profitable as conducted in connection with reformatory work and in penal institutions. Many are the instances of improvement which can be traceq to just such sources, accomplishing the entire change of character because of the opportunity which has been provided for going out into the world and earning an honest living. Concerning the good work of this method of helping mankind. especiall; those who started in the wrong direc- tion the Newark News says: “Trade schools at the state’s reformatory in- stitutions at Rahway and Jamesburg g0 to show how far and how fast the recognition of the value of useful em- ployment as a character-builder 1is spreading. It is sometimes a source for wonder how many boys—and girls, too—fall into lines of crime simpl and solely because they did not know how to do anvthing well. The reform seems to be a modern application of the old saw about the devil and idle hands. And we can think of no greater cruelty and temptation than turning a human being loose from an institution without the ability to earn a living except by the very practices that brought him under the state's care in the first place.” Such reclamation service is of vital importance to ever community and there is no way of estimating the great value of it, though it deserves the greatest encouragement and aid. EDITORIAL NOTES. The reciprocity feature of the tariff bill ought to appeal in darticular to Champ Clark. From all appearances it is a cam- paign of education of which the Eng- lish suffragettes are in greatest need. There is small chance for cleaning Mo., Clay county, when a girl named Dirtt married a man named Mudd.

The president broke the traffic rules of the capital, possibly with the idea that as long as he was adhering to century old precedents it might as well be applied to crossing the street.
