CHANGE of Park Superintendents in the Bronx is explained A as a move to put a prectioal gardening expert in charge. ‘The Bronx means to bring ite parke up to the highest standard. If the whole city had always been equally ambitious tor ite parke | uaybe we choukin’t now have the Park Commissioner of Manhatten et a loss to explain why $90,000 spent in two years to grow green hes produced only “dismal failure.” every prospect that the big lewne at the north and the Park will be fenced off from the public through season. Nor fe there any guarantee that grass cultivation to be carried on in anything but the present hit-or-miss fashion which leads nowhere. : Why tm the name of common sense can’t the biggest park in the great ity of Now York have the bent system of lawn culture that expert knowl- edge and experience can devine! Why eare ‘There ls eouth ends of the fe should baseball fields and golf links boast better grace and better than Central Park!

Trees, shrubs and flowers ere worth al] that we epend on them. ‘The Evening World is convinced, nevertheless, that the greatest need @f the public parks in this city at the present momeat 1s serviceable green mes of a hind that people can oft and walk on. The foundation for it should have been Iaid years ago. The least we can do now ie to eift the grass question to the bottom and begin right. The author of Gulliver's Travele stontly maintained: “That who- ever can make two blades of grass to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before deserves better of mankind and does more essential eervice to his country than tho whole race of politicians pat together.” Whoever enocecds in performing euch a service for will be entitled to any honor the city can give him. ooo yielding atthude on the part of our flustered neigh- or was‘only a question of time, When trying to deal fairly with a blusterer doubde your arm and show your muscle It makes for peace. a Sn HOME MADE IDEAS FOR HOTEL MEN. HENEVER ao European hotel keeper visits thie country he hastens to assure us that American guests are the most intelligent, the most discerning, the most difficult to please, and at the eame time the most eatisfactory to serve of any in the workd. Whenever an American hotel man returns from Europe he comes back convinced that American hotels are the finest on earth. It seems, therefore, a cruel waste of time and money that 200 of the hotel men who have been holding a eelf-congratulatory con- gress in this city should have to sail dway to Furope to “pick up ideas.” Why seek them eo far away? If New York hotel proprietors are really yearning to improve their establidhments they can get plenty of suggestions from the public right here at home. For example—Suggestion No. 1: Hotel proprietors in this city recently displayed zeal to protect their guests from graftere and “con” epecialisis who haunt the lobbies. Why doesn’t the New York hotel proprietor think agein and protect his guests from the grafters inside his hotel—grafters who are members of his staff and wear his livery? Why doesn’t he protect his guests from the ontrageous cont Toom extortion practised under “the rules of the house,” which grabs eas hat out of his hands and then demande money from the victim ita? Here’s an “idea” for the hotel man and one that won’t coat him @ trip to Europe. Central Park >t He wouldn't Huerta fly! Letters From the People The Problem in Phyates.
