There is nothing extraordinary in thu
fact that the human disposition to make
lavish Use of cold water displays itself
most conspicuously during such weather
as now distresses great many people.
Instinct teaches all animal kind TO seek
relief from Intense heat in cool water
But it is distressing that so many people
should meet death while endeavoring to
secure relief from torrid atmospheric CEN
ditions. Every day We hear of the
drowning of cons derable number of men.
women ard children, who. because their
real practical education had been
neglected, should have remained on dry
La d. A great many people can swim, but
great many others cannot. If those who
cannot swim VIII insist upon going into
the water-dnd. they generally do, into
deep water-they must expect to suffer the
cor sequences of their folly. There is no
re"so.I Why any intelligent or woman
who IS ! OF physically helpless cannot
learn 10 swim The operation is simple
and natural. Thousands of Washing
hardly remember when they learned the
art, and large majority of them acquired
their skill without the assistance OF an
instructor Now there are ample facilities
foc all who desire to enjoy the refreshing
Influences of an outdoor bath. Would

The Third Ticket.

The votes polIed in November for the
presidential ticket to he nominated at In
dianapolis next month will depend In q large
measure on the developments OF the cam
pafgn. They may be few. they may he
many. The confessed object is to defeat the
Chicago ticket. Just at present there arc
many sound money democrats who believe
that possible by simply withholding their
votes from that ticket, and casting them Tor
candidates of their own They are unwili-
ing to go over boldly to the support of the
republicans. So. to square themselves with
themselves and preserve a certain indie
pendence and Individuality, they have de
cided to nominate what they will declare to
be the straight democratic ticket and sup
port it.
Even 10 go this far has required courage,
and argues that these men put the financial
question far above ordinary political con-
SiderationS. They regard 1t, in It's last an
alysfs as patriotic question They con-
slider that the good faith of the country is at
stake. Having gone this far in obedience to
that view. may they not reasonably be ex-
pected-rnany of them. at least-to go still
further if circumstances should appear to
advise It?
Suppose the silver cause continues 70
grow Suppose in the middle west and in
the border southern states the situation
about the middle OF October indicates that
the sound money cause has no votes to
spare, that if the battle for sound money
is to be won there must be union of sound
money forces Will sound money democrats
in such circumstances simply content them
selves with withholding a vote from Bryan
and Sewall? With their interest in the sue
cess OF wise finance so strong, will not many
of them, throwing over their present hes-
tation, go to the polls and vote direct for
Mckinley and Hobart? That would appear
to be altogether probable, and indeed the
logical outcome of this first courageous step.
The men who will accept the Indianapolis
nominations will not be concerned about the
Size or the vote they may receive in No
veInher. Like the men who will put them
up, their chief desire will center in the effort
TO defeat the Chicago ticket. They will well
understand that success for them is impos-
sible- They will be in the fight only to pre-
vent the triumph of what they denominate
populisn. and they might be willing in
order TO make that absolutely certain, to
withdraw at the last moment and encourage
the throwing OF the votes intended for them
TO the republicans-a step which would just
double the effectiveness of all that strength.

Crime and Climate.

1t is by no means a new theory that crime
and climate are associated. and more than
once in recent years have deductions of an
almost startling nature been drawn from
condolences between a succession of violent
deaths and period Of exceptional weather.
The intense heat. such that endured by
Washingtonians and their neighbors during
the past week is of the kind usually credited
with such outbreaks of human passion. and
certainly. gruesome as is the thought there
are surface indications suggestions of a
mysterious Influence wrought for evil by
great excuses of temperature. Six deaths
by violence have occurred In this vicinity
during the past week, the period covered by
the heat wave. Three murders-including
the ARRAY in Georgetown, which will prob
ably result fatally-have been committed
within these few days in the immediate
vicinity of Washington and two suicides
have been discovered. This is an unusual
record. even for midsummer when mans
temper is most fiery and the suicidal ten
dency is apt to be exaggerated by the heat
Is this imagined connection the result of
the bodily exhaustion and the mental
irritation resulting from the oppressive
weather? Or is 1t merely an unexplainable
coincidence that has no more reason than
lies in the workings Of the law of chance?
psychologists may some day reach a salts
factory theory to account for these out
bursts of crime and violence and until they
do no cure can, of course, be prescribed
based on the climatic theory 1t is interest
ing In this connection to know that the
records show that there have been no less
than ten murders committed in and around
Washington since April %, less than four
months, and the people Of this community
ana OF that part of Maryland lying i'm
mediateiy east and north Of this city may
with profit search diligently for the cause
OF these crimes and for the means of their
prevention. But it is clear that, except pos
sbly in the very recent cases cited. no part
of the responsibility for these murders can
be saddled upon the weather.

high on the banks of the Potomac, and
with this indisputable fact staring US In
the face ask what is it that saves us
from the intense suffering and the heavy
mortality that afflict other great commu-
mites during the heated term? Perhaps the
answer can be found in the width of the
streets, the presence of shade trees and
the parks and the generally good hygienic
conditions. The air, however hot it may
be. IL at liberty to circulate into the
houses and can therefore bring relief to
those who are compelled to reside therein.
In other great centers If population the
preezeS are often shut out from the living
rooms and from the main thoroughfares
themselves by the sky-scraping houses and
the narrow highways. The wisdom of our
local regulations preventing the erection of
high buildings ought now to be apparent to
all who know how terrible is the oppres-
sion caused in other cities by the walling
In of street after street with towering
structures. The money invested here In
park areas. in shade trees, and in foun-
tains is amply repaid during such a WISH
tation as this hot wave. and the taxpayer
who remains in town during August should
never again, if that has been his habit
grumble at the necessary outlay.
