OMMENDING the suggestion of The Evening World that the city purchase tlle site of Dream- land for the purpose of enlarging Seaside Park, Canon Chase, of Christ Church, Williamsburg, stated among the reasone of approval the fact that “at present the ocean is practically cut off from the people, while the private bath houses collect a toll from all who would get into the water.” Simple as this statement ie, there is ore aspect under which it sppears quite startling. It is narrated in Mrs. Lamb's History of New York that when the committee that laid out the city above Union, Square made their report they stated that they had set apart very litdle space for parks because the city had so much water front and the ‘bay and the sound as well as the river were so accessible that the,people would not need parks. What would those good commissioners think now if they could learn that it is difficult for the New Yorker to find free access to the sesoven as far off ns Coney Island? Public approval of the proposed purchase widens and strengthens with the increasing consideration of the arguments for it and those against it. Only false economy can be urged in opposition to the prompt profiting by the opportunity that is now offered. —— for thy Unit and Canad: VOLUME 5 AN ABRACADABRA. EFERRING to “revolutioniste” in his Decoration Day address at Grant’s Tomb, Col. Roosevelt said: “If they start it I should have no constitutional scruples with regard to such an affair.” This does not mean that the Colonel favors lynch law and that he would head a mob to hang a “revolutionist” without a trial, for later on he saia> “I must ask you to judge me by acta and not by my words,” This request does not mean that the Colonel's words are mean- ingles, and that he sometimes errs with his mouth, for in another partof his speech he sai have no use for liars, national or inter- netional, or those found in private life.” Some people may puzzle themselves as to how these eontrarie- ties of speech are to be understood. But as a matter of fact they were not designed to be understood. Thov are an abracadabra—vou , gpene et it. r He x A PERTINENT QUESTION. ECORATION DAY has come and gone. The solemn service of memorial for the heroic dead and kept the Union whole has been duly honored throughout the city. We are now to prepare for the great jubilation of the Glorious Fourth, when the observances will not be solemn aacbare lidble to be dangerous. ‘+ A sane and safe celebration of Independence ay is a common _ eapirstion among thoughtful citizens all over the Union. In no city ig\euch reform more necessary than in New York, nowhere is it more estred, and nowhere have better efforts been made to provide for it, But tho success of these efforts for this yoar depends upon the cooperative spirit of the people, The celebration as outlined by the committee in charge is estimated to cost upward of $100,000, Of that sum the city treasury will contribute $50,000. There remains sa much more to be obtained by voluntary contribution. It is, therefore, a pertinent question whether you have yet sent in your contribution to the committer, There is a chance for every- ‘body to share in raising the fund. ‘ ich a LAWYERS TO THE FARMS. . HEN tho new public library building was opened it was noted by the curious in such things that tho first two books taken from the circulation department were books on farming. This was supposed to intimate a bucolic tendency in the metropolis and to suggest that some day Central Park may be used as a model farm to meet the demand of public library readers, There is ¢ probability, however, that the inaugural rash for farm books was but a sporadic affair, due not so much to habitual inclination for farmts and farming on the part of New Yorkers as to an outside stimulous acting upon minds made sensitive by the season and induced to credulity hy confidence in Taft. ’ It appears that only a short time ago’the Agricultural Depart- ment issued a bulletin which said among other things that it is pos- sible for men without previous experience to make successful farmers, One instance was given of a lawyer sixty yeara of age, with a family of ten, who took to farming and acquired a competence in a few years, What more is needed to interest the New York public Nearly every man in the city knows some lawyer whom he would like to send toa farm.
