Reducing Play to Patriotiim. The plan of the Playground Associa tion of America to Inatall a model playground and a complete play exhib it at the Jameatowa Exposition, and to hold there a play week In which the leaders of thla movement In thla country will gather In convention, haa already met with auch favor that the officers of the association are hoping to collect the (6,000 necessary to car ry out their Ideaa. Dr. Henry 8. Curtia, aecretary of the association, 805 0 street. N.W., Waih- Ington, D. C.; who has charge of rais ing funds, has announced that the ex position officials have granted free apace and free use of convention halls. The model playground which the as sociation hope* to erect at tha exposi tion. will embody all the valuable features and apparatus found to be useful In tbe municipal playgrounds ns operated by many cities of the country. In charge of the playground will M a number of trained phytlclal directors and play leaders, who will carry out dally with large classes of children and adult* and the little vial tors to the exposition, the play pro grams which are followed In crowded sections of great cities. In addition, there will be an extenalre play exhibit of photographs, charts, collections of statistics and data about the leading playgrounds of the country, so arrang ed rb to yield ready Information to vis itors. At the play convention to be held In September, many of the speakers at tho association's festival In Chicago, to be held In June, will glveXlluatrated lectures. The games at Chicago, In which 7,000 school children will take part, will be Illustrated at Jameatowa by complete moving picture exhibi tions In the convention hall. Of the purposes of tbe exhibit at the exposi tion, Dr. Curtia said: ••We nro aiming to give practical demonstrations to municipalities sad to individuals of the elvlc, moral and physical value o( organised play tor children and adults. President Roose velt has urged the mayors of every city to send official representatives to tha play featlval In Chicago. The expensive trip from the 8outh to Chi cago, however, probably will deter many Southern cities from sending representatives. We are, therefore, particularly anxious to show model play apparatus at Jameatown where It will he accessible to that section, which Is becoming greatly Interested In tbe movement. ' "Our Southern members feel that such a playground In fall operation will do much to lead cltlea of the South to set aside land, and Inatall playgrounds for their cltlaent. "The exposition also will be more accessible to the East, and a play ex hibit there would probably be seen by many who can not go to Chicago. "All of this costs money, but we are^ sure that tbe friends of the children will not let pass this great opportuni ty to prove to hundreds of thoussnds of people, that It la the duty of every municipality to provide In this way for tbe happiness sad phyaical wel fare of ita people." The Philadelphia Public Ledger ad vances as a telling argument against lower telephone rates the theory that some people talk too much now. Maybe ex-Congreuman Wadsworth Is bidding for membership In the Ana nias Club. A Blessings are often disguised. April's wlnterish stunts have stood x afTKli'U It--'-. THE BOX AT THE GATE. When the gallant but depleted hosts of Confederate memories gather on Friday next to do honor to those frbo gave their Urea for the ‘ dear dead Dixie of our dreams." there will be found upon an entrance to the cemetery a little box which bears in this case » tender and yet strong appeal. Mrs. W. D. Bills, of the Memorial Aaaoclatlon, Informs us that there are at Kingston, Ga., a group of Confederate grave*, perhap* the last unre membered and unmarked group of Confederate grave* left In the South. The people at Kingston are anxious to see that the duat of thla little Isolated battalion of Confederate heroes shall have Its due honor, and bo recorded with respect. But Kingston Is only a small village and Its com mercial resource* are not equal to the task of doing honor to these grave*. And so The Atlanta Association takes up the matter and desire* to make Ha contribution toward this noble and tender end. The appeal should be beyond resistance. How can those who follow fait behind the remote but deathless memories of tbe Confederacy tall to consider this lsst group of neglected heroes In our own dear and loy al state of Georgia? ' ' * The Kingston comrade* of ’60 will appeal with equal fervor to tho fast fading ranks of the Gray and to the sons and daughters of the old Confederacy who survire them. And ao aa the broken battalions of the old guard pan through the open arch at Oakland, and as they are followed fast by tho long lines of thoao who delight now and evar to do honor to the herolam with which they fought, how can they fall to drop a remembrance In the box at the gate which will be'gathered to pay for headstone* that will mark at least the resting place If not the names and residences of the gallant boys who laid down their lives In the heroic days of. '61. We treat that the appeal of Mrs. Kill* will be read now and recalled on Friday and that those who see the box at the gate will remember the silent appeal that It bears for the unmarked graves at Kingston to wbloh Its tender generosity will go. HOW BRYAN KEEPS "LOYAL TO PARTY.” "00 AND GET A REPUTATION.” j It does not make ranch difference these days what Tbe Macon Tele graph thinks or nays In political affairs. As a rule, The Macon Telegraph thinks as it haa always thought. Just what the railroads think and what the railroads would like to have Tbe Telegraph think. , When The Telegraph eats the words of denunciation against Wm. J. Bryan when It apoke of him aa men rarely speak of a convict or felon not four yeara ago, we shall come to have more regard for tbe sincerity of The Telegraph's utterancea, for the quality of Ita Democracy, and for the Importance of anything It haa to remark. It was no merely political criticism of Bryan In 1903-4. It was an Infamous personal condemnation. Until The Telegraph apologizes for those words It can neither be sincere In supporting Bryan nor honest In advocating his cause. To The Telegraph we bare simply this to say: “Go off and get a Dem ocratic reputation and then come back and talk to us again.” DR. FRANK M. RIDLEY.—Phy sicians returning from the state medical convention it Savannah are speaking In glowing terms of the brilliant and beautiful speech made at the concluding banquet by Dr. Frank" M. Ridley, of La- Grange. Dr. Ridley responded to the toast of "Thorns and Roses" un der a sentiment taken from Start' ton's lieautiful |metn, and, accord ing to our Informant, made one of the moat beautiful speeches ever heard in Savannah. The bril liant audience of distinguished physicians literally rose at him with enthusiasm and he was com pelled to rise repeatedly nnd bow his thanks. Dr. F. M. Ridley Is one of the fine and elegant figures of Georgia’s professional life. Aa handsome aa Alclbladea and with the manner of a Chesterfield, of a large and varied culture and with a voice of rare sweetness and magnetism, he la a figure of In finite grace and charm on any platform. Being besides one of the most popular men In Western Georgia and one of the moat dis tinguished ornaments of his pro fession, Dr. Ridley Is Indeed an all gifted and a much to be envied gentleman. STEVE POSTELL—The news paper fraternity of Georgia are bereaved In the passing of Steve Postell. Mr. Postell was one of the old guard of Journalists in Georgia. He Is linked to the earlier days and to the earlier strugglei out of which our Georgia newspaper* emerged from the crude and un developed conditions just after the war Into the substance and merit of the newspaper* of today. In hla career aa a acrllio 8tevo Postell saw many changes and witnessed the rlae and fall of many large figures In his profes sion. And he htnuolf held through alt a serene and kindly way, full of honor, full of philan thropy and full of such genial faith that be carries to the tomb the affection of his comrades and the respect and honor of all forces reached by publicity In thla twen tieth century city of the South. HUGH L. CARDOZA—Play goer* and lovers of amusement In Atlanta have felt no little regret In saying goodbye to Hugh L. Car- dots. who for ao many yiara has been the able and exceptionally popular manager for Jake Well* In the Sonth. Few men In any line of work hare made and held more friend* than Hugh Cardoxa. The rare aoclal qualities of the man never for a moment Interfered with hla firm and effective grasp of busi ness affaire. And the tame capac ity which baa held la the highest and most profitable way the in terest* which he represented, ha* been expressed In the power to make and hold friend* who wit ness hla transfer to another field of labor with very great regret. Mr. Cardota Is transferred to a larger sphere of action nearer the great center* of tbe country In the East, and bis promotion la pro nounced a richly deserved one by those to whose pleasure and amusement he haa so long and successfully pandered In Atlanta. Tbe good wishes of a host of fr'<—d* go with Mv er-ryirT>er». In the Ranks—"as at Present Advised.” No. the editor of The Georgian has not joined the new party of Mr. Hearst nor does he expect at this time to join It. Hut The Georgian Is going to have a free voice and a fearless speech in reshaping the Democratic party, to which It now belongs and always will belong, and In the remaking of this party we do not Intend to be rid den over In the procession either by men who denounced Bryan as an Infa mous scoundrel four years ago or by men who drained their resource* to the uttermost to nominate a man pre sented upon the Infamous plea that "he was not offensive to the trusts,” nor yet to the fellow who sat on the fence afraid to antagonise Hearst on the one aide or Parker on the other, but got In as usual and shouted with the majority when the majority be came clear. We ire going to vote with this Dem ocratic organisation whenever we think It Is right and true to the people, and when we think It Is wrong and unfaithful wo are going to vote against It, and vote with all our ran somed powers for the truest and most Democratic organisation In sight. We are no more afraid of the name of parties than Bryan la, and Bryan defies them and bolt* them whenever they go counter to hla civic conscience and hla honest record. % Commissioner Bingham has unearth ed a scheme to blow hint up with dy namite. HI* enemies Intimate that this la about the first thing of Impor tance he haa unearthed and they tear this Isn't true. Philadelphia la getting envious of Harrisburg, and Is trying to forge to the front with a police scandal.. The American consul to Saxony pre dicts that people,will be wearing pa per clothing In a few yeara. la thla an attempt to revive the paper collar Industry? "No man will make an argument agalnat the Initiative and referendum who is not prepared to deny the capacity of the people for aelf-government. You may differ from me on every question, but if you do not believe In this right of the people to govern themselves, I will drive you out of the Democratic party, and if the Democratic party does not believe In thla rule of the people It will have no trouble In driving me out of the Democratic party." (Loud Applauae.)—Wm. J. Bryan at Brooklyn. Spoken like the brave and honeat publicist that you are, Mr. Bryan. Straight from tbe shoulder and without cowardice and hesitation. Where Is there any fear of "party" or caucus In that? t ' Thla Is the man who told hla party In convention at Kansas City that unless they reaffirmed tbe Chicago platform they could neither nominate him nor count on hla support And they reaffirmed the Chicago platform because he compelled them to do so, and renominated him by hla permission and not at his solicitation. The Democrat who wishes aii example of political Independence and fearless thinking will find It in William J. Bryan, the Idol of bis party. The man who thinks his political soul belongs to his party will find the contradiction of that belief In William J. Bryan. Tbe man who Is afraid to do any thinking for himself or any voting of his honest convictions, will find a radiant Inspiration In William J. Bryan. The man who wants to learn that a man's honest conscience Is hla highest political guide, has only to atndy William J. Bryan. Tho man who wants to be brave enough not to be afraid of hla party should ask William J. Bryan. The man who thinks that bllnjl adherence io party is the only way to get office, should refer to Mr. Bryan. He has taught all of us who are so unfortunate as to need It, that no trtie brave citizen can be a slave either to caucus ok to party. In the speech at Brooklyn, Mr. Bryan perhaps goes too far In declar ing that ho will drive out of the party those who differ with him upon the initiative and referendum. That sounds rash and dictatorial. Bift he Is right and honest. If he thinks of this policy as he says he does, to declare that he will get out himself If the Democratic party does not Indorse IL ” ' That Is right, and It is duty to cut loose from any organliatlon -that does not carry bis strong and honest convictions. The cowardice of the partisan Is the handicap to good government, and the curee of politics. - We thank Mr. Bryan for his noble part In making It contemptible.

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM BOLDLY PROCLAIMED BY BRYAN AS FUNDAMENTAL DEMOCRACY A Washington special to The Chicago Tribune of Sunday says: Cold chills ran up and down the backs of old line Democrats of Wash ington when they read the report of the midnight speech In Brooklyn of William Jennings Bryan, In which he not only declared for the Initiative and referendum, but announced that he and the Democratic party would have to separate unless It accepted that doc» trlhe without reservation. Mr. Bryan has been the loglcnl can didate of the Democracy for so long a time now that members of his party have come to accept him as they would any other ordinary operation of na ture. They have discussed among them selves only the candidates for vice president. Mr. Bryan shocked old-timers almost out of their senses last summer In his Madison Square Garden speech, when he baldly declared for government own. ershlp of railroads. There was an In stantaneous note of discord sounded by the Democracy all over the country, and Mr. Bryan promptly put up Ills umbrella and announced that although he ■ personally was In favor of govern ment ownership he did not consider It was necessarily a Democratic doctrine, but would gladly abide by the decision of the national convention. This put him back In good favor again and he has done nothing at all to lose caste until last night, when he •took a stand on a radical platform which will separate him from a large section of his own party. Speech Fade Like a Bomb. Mr. Bryan's speech at the Jefferson banquet of the Brooklyn Democratic Club was made at such a late hour that ho report of It appears in the earlier editions of the Eastern papers. This was more peculiar because all the earlier speakers at the banquet Indulg ed In the most fulsome praise of Mr. Brvan. hailed him as the acknowledged prophet of Democracy, and bespattered him with praise as the next presidential candidate of the united Democracy. All thle was before Mr. Bryan made his speech. ... Huhstnntlal. conservative, level bead ed Democrata like Governor Warfield, of Maryland: James H. Blount, of Georgia, nnd Lewis Nixon, the ship builder. participated In this praise of the leader, who was absent from the room for several hours, having gone to another part of the big city tS speak before Pern- Belmont’s personal organ isation. which Is attempting to pro mote the publicity of campaign contri butions, . , . . Some of the speakers who lauded him In his absence must have regret- • tieatif when “the m*er- Democratlc lenders have suddenly discov ered that Hryan has a new vagary ami that he will Insist upon the Initiative, and refer eudtini. a l'opullst theory, which Is good In spots, hut In spots only, ns n test of Dem- inorrney so long ns lie remains nt the head of the party.

Can't Crawl Out This Time. His speech was of such a- sensation al character that he has precluded him self from crawling out aa he did on the government ownership proposition. On the contrary, he announced that sink or swim, live or die survive or perish, be Is for the Initiative and ref erendum. and If the Democratic psrty la n3t for the same compound policy, so much the worse for the Democratic partv. because It will have to do with out William Jennings Bryan forthwith and forevermore.

The appearance of Miss Mannerlng In a new role, whose delightful Ger aldine and Janice Meredith won her such great favor with audiences In this city so universally, will be an event of unusual Interest. In her new pl*y Miss Mannerlng has been provided with a character, the famous Baltimore belle, Betsy Patterson, who came Into International fame by her marriage with Jerome, the younger brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, then emperor of France, that will bring forward to the fullest extent her powers of portraying not only archness and coquetry, but complex feeling and deep emotion as well. The box office sale continues rapidly and those who wish to see Miss Man- nerlng should hasten to procure their seats. At the Bijou.

The president replied to a recent criticism of his remark In designating Moyer and Haywood, the men said to be Implicated In the murder of Gov ernor Steunenburg, of Idaho, as unde sirable rltlsena. He said he regretted that any body of men should ao far forget themselves os by the forma tions of societies or any other methods to Influence courts of. justice or to coerce court or Jury. He says that he Indicated no opinion as to their guilt of the Steunenberg murder, but that It was a simple ab surdity to suppose that because a man la on trial he Is free from crljlelsm as to hi* manner of life. He said he might as well be accused of trying to Influence the suits against Harrininn, some of whose friends had also criti cised him.
