It is a bit unfortunate that such a tempest has been raised over the pro posed leasing of the bathhouse In Riverside park. The citizens have been justly proud of the magnificent park upon the banks of tbe Rogue, and every year It will become a more popular resort for young and old. The bathhouse was built by popular subscription, and If those who sup plied the funds for it now object to seeing it turned over to parties for private gain, they are certainly en titled to tbelr day In court No word of protest to the parties to whom it was contemplated leasing ha. been heard, the protest being only to the fact of leasing at all. There would seem no good reason for changing I the management of the park from the ! system In vogue last year." The park commission serves well and without cost, but should tho city determine to relinquish the responsibility for the bathhouse management. It would bo only Just thatvthose who built It have a voice In Its disposition. The proposal of the cltiiena to Incorporate a company and take over the resort would seem to meet the Issue. But unless there Is some urgent necessity, the cttliens would certainly be better satisfied to let the bathhouse and the park remain as they are at present ' municipally owned and municipal ly controlled. Then all the people feel a sense of proprietorship, and get the fullest satisfaction from the public playground. PORTLAND LAWYER TO AID BRANDEIS (By United Press Leased Wire,) Washington, Feb. 7.
