Mrs. M. G. Van Rensselaer, President of the Public Pdueation Association, has joined in the protest against the scheme to build temporary schoolhouses in the parks. She appeals for “the preservation of every foot| Of the parks, and especially of the smaller ones, in the trowded parts of the city.” and adds: ‘The erection of temporary school buildings on park sites, Wwe believe, would most probably mean their retention in} Permanent use. In any case, a most unfortunate precedent Would be set, for it is only by means of unremitting and earnest efforts on the part of the public that the parks have hitherto been preserved for the uses they are Intended to Mserve, well-intentioned persons constantly desiring to have portions of them devoted to ends which, however desirable ta themsclyes, would involve a lessening of the utility of| : the parks as such, Any encroachment upon the parks would be a step ‘backward. Even now the breathing spaces of the east side are pitifully few and small. More than five-sixths of the park area of Manhattan Island is west of Fifth _Svenue and north of Fifty-ninth street—in other words, : fm the part of the city that needs it least. In the crowded tenement districts the people must find what fresh air and sunshine they can in little squares of two or three acres each. Eveh in these, part of the space must be given up to playgrounds, comfort houses and outdoor gymnasia. There are twelve hundred churches in this city. Not one of them has found it necessary to ask for a site {ma park. When a man wants to start a private school he finds no trouble {n renting or buying suitabie quar- ters. The city can do the same. And while it is provid- ing more schools, let it provide at the same time for more parks. ‘ A NEW KIND OF HONOR. The departure of the last American garrison from the Cuban Republic must propagate some new concep- thons on the subject of national honor and glory. Through all the ages until now the ideal of the nations bas been that of the bulldog—to seize as much as pos- sible and never Jet anything go. Often a country has been willing to admit that it would be glad to’ be re- Meved of some inconvenient possessions, but “honor” has compelled it to hold on. The Cubans wanted to cut loose from Spain, and there was no advantage to Spain fa holding them, but that ogre of national honor ftood in the way of a divorce that would have been good for both parties. The flag must never be hauled down where !t has once been hoisted. So the Spanish fisg hung on until it was shot down by American guns. Now we have learned that the truest honor and the highest glory of a nation are sometimes found in letting go rather than in holding on. The Stars and Stripes were never more illustrious than when they fluttered down from the etaff behind the Cabana fortress—not forced down by a victorious enemy, but hauled down! in the plenitude of power by our own commander as a} / visible token of a national promise sacredly kept. Com- pared with a glory like that, what is the cheap glitter of; a@ conquest shared with all the savage Attilas and ‘Tamerlanes of history? And what is more, this high prestige of renunciation 1s. not only great in itself, but it has won the admiring Fecognition of the worl. It has given us a loftier place than we could have won by a hundred victories. Every nation has {ts roll of military triumphs, but it would be Hard for any other to find in its annals an act like the liberation of Cuba, That outshines the glory of suc- cessful aggression as far as the glow of Washington's character outshines the blaze ‘of Napoleon's conquests. ‘ _ A BLUNDER CORRECTED. One of the most glaring mistakes of the late city ad- ministration has been undone by the unanimous decision of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court declar- ing the removal of Fire Chief Croker illegal and order- ing his reinstatement. In his determination to get rid of Mr. Croker Commissioner Sturgis displayed equal disregard for law and for public opinion. His proceed- ings undoubtedly formed one of the counts in the pop- ular indictment of the Low administration. ‘The lesson] HR ne rine tear asscr bed | of respect for law that has heen taught ty the Appellate] a Dorothy's talk with him at the Fatr- Division in this case ought to have a good effect here- Hetgh's on the night of the unlucky kiss, after, whether reformers or Tammany men happen to| Mereed caaintant,|and the terms she offered for silence: ve in power at the City Hall fe 'kept in| ending with the recital of Dorothy FOR SUNDAY MEDITATION, If a blind man can make the most difficult shots in billiards without an error, what is the use of eyes?

I see that he hasn't answered the last note. The prelim- inaries seem to have been arranged by a correspondence school, and thus far the bombardment of missives has heen extremely deadly. An ultimatum written out dn Japanese or Ruselan is a flerce instrument. “There seems to be a general impression in this country that the Japs will get the decision in the forth- coming go. The wise guys who read Japanese history from the pens of such learned historians as Onata Watana, Sir Edwin Arnold and David Belasco say that the Russian is whipped before he enters the ring. Eminent military authorities like Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, who took a voyage around the world touch- ing the high places, have inspected the Japanese-army and say that it marches fine. “The Japanese soldier is a willing worker, and ho can live for three days on a handful of preserved straw. and a few swigs of tea. He is good at shooting at e mark and he does what his officers tell him to do. But when you come to frame him up for class you have to search the war dope with a telescope. It takes an optimistic form-player to place the Jap in the one-best~ bet class when fixing up a fight chart. “The best line on his past performances come from his war with China, The Chinese warrior is a shine. He goes to battle carrying an umbrella in one hand and a bottle full of bad smell in the other, When it comes time for action he raises the umbrella, breaks the bot- tle and smothers to death. A Y. M. C. A. basketball team armed with snowballs and a good, ringing yell could make 10,000 Chinese soldiers run themselves into the ground. . “During the Chinese war, whenever a gang of Japs armed with the Jatest style of guns and bayonets got a bunch of Chinks carrying tomtoms and portable war josses into a corner the slaughter was something ter- rific. Everybody agreed that the artistic brutality with which the Japs made small pleces of Chinese women and children was worthy of the highest admiration. “But the Japs are not going to fight the Chinese this time. They are going to fight a race of large men with whiskers, who bathe at irregular intervals and would as lef be killed as continue to live. ff the Japan- ese and Ruasians ever meet on a battlefield tourists will be picking wp relics of the Japanese army for a thousand years,” - “You seem to hold a grouch against the Japs,” said the Cigar Store Mar. 7 “Well,” confessed the Man Higher Up,” ever since a Japanese valet [ had eloped with the rent money, all my clothes, a safety razor, a revolver and an autograph picture of Emma Carus the Flowery Kingdom has looked like a bunch of celery to me.” ‘ ‘Y= is all this trouble between Russia and Japan Daniel Webster’s Boots. ‘A retired Bath merchant who was a clerk in a Boston shoo store when a lad tells the following story of Daniel Webster, One morning the Bath boy, who had to report early and weep out the store before the proprietor arrived, received a call from Mr. Webster. The noted statesman was fitted with ‘a. new pair of shoes without any trouble by the clerk, who considered it an honor to fit a boot to Mr, Webster. ‘The old patr was left in the store, and Mr. Webster sald he would fall around later and pay the proprietor. ‘The clerk knew that his chief was acquainted with Mr. Webster, and when the proprietor arrived informed him of the sale with a great deal of pride. ‘The proprietor complimented the Bath boy upon the sale, but closed with the remark: ‘I probably will never receive pay for the boots,"’ and the sale was charged up to the proft and loss account.

Obedient, he siunk out after her. He paused at the door and shrank back: “Come,” she repeated, haughtily, “be a man for once." And he followed her from the room.
