Deaths From Heat, However, Were Nu-

CHICAGO, Aug. IA good breeze
tempered the heat to sufferers during
the day. The thermometer registered
90. The deadly effects of the high tenn
perature, however, continued, and 30
fatalities of sunstroke were reported,
with the list still incomplete About 80
cases of prostration, more or less seri-
Gus, have also occurred. A shower at z
o'clock considerably cooled off the air,
but only for short time. The number
of persons driven insane by the heat
will probably never be known, but it's
effects in that direction may be esti.
mated from the fact that during the
week 2S persons have been locked up in
the detention hospital, all of whom had
been driven crazy by the heat.
There are 800 dead horses still unre-
moved on the streets, the city being un-
able to secure sufficient assistance to
cart as many away as daily succumb to
the heat. The mayor has issued an
order guaranteeing $40 to anyone who
will remove one of the cadavers.

Duties Of an Editor,

Did you stop to think what a task
an editor would have should he try
to please all? It does not hurt a
newspaper to have enemies. But
being personally popular is not a
bad thing. 1t is impossible for an
editor to do his duty and keep on
good terms with everybody. If all
people were to like him he is not
worth liking. 1t is better that peo-
pie fear him than that they should
love him. The more news an editor
prints and the more fearless and
truthful his editorials, the more ne
will be abused and the more his
paper will prosper. Hence, do not
get discouraged because you have
enemies.-Ex.

He's a Philosophers.

The gifted editor Of the Missoulian,
Harry 0. Collins, philosophers thus
on the life and work Of a journalist:
"%Journalism is ephemeral. Like the
actor, the journalist struts his brief
hour upon the stage, and is forgotten.
Unlike the actor, the emoluments he
receives for his work are not adequate
for the energy expended, the wear
of brain and muscle. Be it witty or
wise, what he says is breathed upon
the wind and floats into nothingness.
What he says in praise is forgotten;
words of condemnation, though
deserved, are remembered. He
makes men and remains himself un.
made. If a cause he esponses win,
others receive the credit therefor; if
it loses, he gets the blame. The
apples of Paradise are for others;
Dead sea fruit for him. Why do
men follow it? For the excitement
there is in it. 1t keeps one in touch
with the times, allows him to finger
the strings of emotion, and if he
strikes a clear note which rouses, or
a minor chord which thrills, he re-
members it even if it be forgotten by
others. Wretched compensation"

Can II be that tho 6no,o;ar -

Can it be that the fnanciers and
money sharks did not see or know
what would be the effect of pursuing
the course which has been pursued?
They certainly did see it. and are sat
isfed with the result. and are striv
ing by all the means in their power
to rerpetdate it. In view of the con-
dition of our country, what can the
people do? The corporations and
money sharks are thoroughly organ
lied, using their money freely to cor
rupt the people and their represent
%atives to accomplish their ends. The
people must organize and refuse to
wear the party yoke. We are largely
in the majority and if we are true to
ourselves and to our country, and
true to the cause of humanity, and
agree that we will vote together, only
for such men and such measures as
the cause of humanity shall dictate,
we can restore prosperity to our
country.
This is the aim and object of the
Patriots of America. The order
is opposed by some upon the ground
that it is a secret political organiza-
ton. The object for which it is
founded is no secret. Books con-
tanning our creed have been scattered
broadcast among the people. The
only secret we have is that we may
know our friends. Know those who
intend to vote for such candidates az
are nominated on a platform favoring
the free coinage of silver at a ratio
of 16 to l.. It is we'll known that
many of our men talk loudly for free
coinage who vote against it. Others
claim to favor b%imetallism, if we can
get an international agreement to
that effect. They must know that is
impossible, and we must re gard them
as opposed to free coinage.
The only way to get universal
bimetallism is for the United States
to take the lead. Other nations
must soon follow or we will control |
the commerce Of the world. This
matter is of vital Importance to us
and to the whole country. Come up
and join us. The money power is
getting alarmed. They are even
now proposing compromises. We
have nothing to compromise but our
honor and hat we are determined to
retain.

Democratic free trade has had its
fair trial, and is found wanting.
New Hampshire democrats resolve
for adequate protection to capital
and labor" Louisiana democrats
resolve for "protection to the cotton
and sugar industries" The different
elements Of that much divided parry
want free trade for everybody, ex-
cepting the particular district they
represent. How these divergent
ideas can be harmonized in national
convention is difficult to see. How
ever, if the party will have the pol
:tical acumen to come out in defense
Of protection and silver, the much
mooted tariff question will be nicely
relegated to the rear.
