Published by the Press Publishing Company, No. 58 to 68 Park Row, New York. Entered at the Post-Omice at New York us Second-Class Mall Matter, VOLUME 45 ase NO, 18,066, ——____ HANDS OFF THE PARK! d The proposition of certain residents of Fifth avenue’ opp site Central Park that the Park wall be removed and a “boulevard’’ constructed on the eastern border is like the many previous attempts at destructive and fmpossible invasions of the people’s pleasure ground. The wall may not be beautiful, and it is not necessary to keep stray goats and cattle out of the Park. But it does signify that this Park is set apart and maintained for the benefit of all the people, and not for the electation of the few who are privileged by their wealth to live on its borders, It would be impossible to remove this wall without destroying hun- (reds of trees and shrubs and filling in many grassy slopes that are more Aeautiful, and therefore more useful, than any boulevard for a fashionable parade could possibly be. If the eastern wall were to be removed for the “benefit of the abutters there would be no good reason for denying the same advantage to the dwellers on the western side of the Park. And this would involve another swath of destruction along the border and the wulgarizing of the characteristic Park features. Central Park is all right as it is—the most beautiful, useful and well- Placed, public park in the world, All that-it requires is’ more intelligent are for the trees and lawns as they exist. To these and all other would- be invaders of the Park The Evening World repeats the warning so effec- tive against former raids: “HANDS OFF!” Leader Murphy threatens to punish the Tammany Senators who voted against 75 cent gas, They deserve it; and then the voters can punistt the Boss who went fishing at Good Ground, Long Island, while his pup- pets were filling their nets on Bad Ground, at Albany. THE CHILD LABOR LAWS. Now that a new Labor Commissioner has-been appointed, Mr. Sher- man should begin his administration with a vigorous enforcement of the Labor laws. Especially the laws regulating the employment of women and children should be carefully regarded. Men are usuafly better ‘acquainted with their rights and with the lawyers who will undertake the damage collections on contingent fees. Children and women have not the same knowledge of their rights, and they are not in a position to enforce them. Child labor is rarely wholly voluntary on the part of the child, Almost all children who have arrived at an age old enough to be put to work prefer to continue at school, where the hours are shorter and the duties less laborious, Usually “necessity and sometimes avarice at home sends them to work. The parents, profiting by the violations of the law, do not volunteer the evi- . dence on which the State Department can act. This makes all the more necessary an honest and faithful administration and vigilant inspection, FOR THE BEACH BATHS—NOW! Most ¢loquent was the picture printed in Saturday’s Evening World of the free bathing pavilion which Boston has established at a convenient beach. No words could have told so well the story of a great public enterprise carried out for a tremendous public good, , Boston had to clear the beach for that pictured improvement—a pre- liminary expense which New York would not incur in providing for popu- lar baths at Coney Island. And to poor people at the Hub the beach is much less readily accessible than is West Brighton to the masses in New York, Example, argument and the dictates both of duty and interest favor the establishm’™ of the Coney Island pavilion, Moreover, the work should be well under way before the bathing season starts. It would seem that active operations might wisely, now, take the place of further needless deliberation, YALE AND THE BOWERY. Yale has visited the Bowery. Why should not the Bowery return the visit and inspect Yale? Maybe the Bowery could teach Yale things, and possibly it could profit by reciprocal instruction, There are more Yale men in the Bowery lodging-houses than in the cheap tenements of the east and west sides. The education of the Bowery has a wider scope than a knowledge of panhandling and stale beer dives, When a man of family, of breeding and education falls from his high station, the drop is all the deeper because of its initial velocity. It rarely stops with a lower paid form of honest industry, but descends to the dregs, Considered from another point of view, how would the Yale students | take it if a delegation of hoboes were to visit the dormitories on the New Haven campus and audibly criticise the personal cleanliness and sleeping accommodations of the students? The hoboes might point out that some | of the dormitories are without baths, and that the furnishing of the rooms | indicates useless extravagance and the copying of feminine taste rather than the plain severity of West Point and Annapolis. A return visit in acknowledgment of the Yale men’s call should by all means be made. The People’s Corner.
