Danger in Overheatine.
From the Chicago Chronicle.


It ought to occur to persons Of ordinary
intellect that II heavy winter clothing
should not be worn during July and Au-
gust with the thermometer at 50 such a
temperature should not be maintained in q
house when people are wearing fannels
and similar heavy fabrics. Yet a large por-
ton Of the population OF this town sits In
rooms heated to a summer temperature,
closes all the windows and swelters, only
to wonder how on earth 1t caught cold when
the throat becomes sore and the nose begins
to run. We Americans overhead our houses
and our offices. We revel IN steam heat,
which Is the doctors best friend. We keep
ourselves warmer in winter than nature
keeps us in summer. and nature takes re-
venge by congestin1 the mucous membrane
and irritating the bronchial tubes. 1t Is
safe to say that where one case Of illness
results from low temperature 100 cases can
be traced to excessive heat. The person

Washington, the Exceptional.

Washington Is an exceptional city in many
respects. 1t is, first Of all, the only city in
the United States without suffrage. 1t Is
the seat of government and therefore the
scene of the great national activities. 1t
is less commercial than any other city of Its
size on this continent. 1t is at once beauu-
full and ragged. Now it is in a fair way to
have it's beauties enhanced and its I'M
kemptness corrected. Then it will be ex-
ceptionally attractive, an ideal municipal
ity.
Congress is apparently bent upon carrying
this distinction to an extreme limit, making
Washington exceptional in every respect
financial well as otherwise. Already
that body has increased the taxes until the
per capita tax levy in the District Is 81. IL
more than the average of the eighteen cities
which have a population Of 100000 or over.
But not content with thus increasing the
tax burden far beyond the usual degree,
Congress would have now the District, as
far as it has framed the annual budget,
pay out Of current funds and on a cash
basis for all the great permanent works
which are necessary to give the capital Its
true aspect as such.
These works in other cities are always
paid for on a long-term credit. the burden
Of their cost being shared between the tax
payers of the present, who have been wait
ing patiently for the improvements, and
those Of the future, who are to profit chiefly
by them. But Congress seems bent upon
forcing the District into a position OF un-
comfortable uniqueness among cities, and
to stand practically alone in its financial
adjustments. There is no known instance
of a municipality equipping itself with great
filtration plants, sewer systems, municipal
offices, monumental railroad terminals,
bridges and the like out of current revenues
Washington hopes to become and to re-
main distinguished among not only Amer
lean cities, but among those of all the
world, as beautiful well-ordered NUM-
cipality. 1t is willing to pay Its proper
share Of the cost Of producing such re-
suit But 1t asks that that cost be equitably
adjusted. and that the development Of Its
possibilities be conducted upon proper prin-
ciples. 1t Is in serious danger Of progress
ing unevenly, meeting one set OF needs at
the cost Of others, and meanwhile draining
the pockets Of taxpayers and sapping the
sources Of civic strength. Congress can
prevent this deplorable result by adopting
In specific terms the credit system for the
District, upon the terms laid down in the
Commissioners bill for the advance Of
$40, 1000 900 OF federal money to the capital
for twenty years.

Politics Of Monopolists.

The latest arguments employed by the
apologists Of monopoly to combat antitrust
legislation remind one Of a remark made
many years ago by the late Jay Gould to a
committee Of the New York assembly
charged with the investigation of the Erie
railroad management. "In republican
states" said the former railway king, Il
have been a republican,: In democratic
states democrat-but always and con-
sistently I have been an Erie man." It
serves the turn Of the trusts just now to
appeal to the principles of the democracy
and pose as defenders Of state sovereignty.
They express much solicitude lest the
powers Of Congress to regulate interstate
commerce may be so employed as to invade
the sovereign rights Of the states and, in
cidentally. to set limit to the exploitation
Of the people by the combines.

The Death Of Mr.. Dawes.

Henry L. Dawes was one Of those men
whose public services have commanded the
respect even Of the opposition. He wrought
with so much fairness and intelligence and
with purpose so manifestly sincere, that
those who differed with him were yet able
to pay tribute to his fine character, while
those who agreed with him were glad to be
in his company in a contest. His years
were many and all of them useful, and his
death will revive recollections Of the i'm
portant period during which he was
prominent actor on the political stage.
This excellent man had thorough train
ing. In his young days he was for a time
q writer for the press. He then prepared
for the bar. Turning then to politics he
served in both houses Of the state legisla-
ture. and assisted as member Of the con-
vention charged with the work in the re-
vision of the state constitution. His talents
by this time had manifested themselves so
strongly he was elected a member Of the
national House Of Representatives, and
after distinguishing himself in that body
he was transferred to the Senate. He at
once took a prominent place there, and re-
tired Of his own accord after three terms
of service. He spent thirty-six years in
Congress, equally divided between the two
houses.
In the case of Mr.. Dawes there was ex-
emplifed the wisdom Of the New England
custom of keeping good man when found
in commission. The result has been that,
taking one consideration with another. no
other section Of the country has been so
well served in the past half century in the
national legislature. Trained and compe-
tent men are constantly on guard there,
and New England's interests are carefully
promoted. Mr.. Dawes name Is notable on
the list. A solid rather than a snowy man,
an informing rather than an eloquent one,
and Industrious at all times, he justified the
judgment Of his constituents hundred
times over. But he was more than local
quantity. His views were broad and truly
national. and the measures with which his
name Is identified show his sweep and sa-
gacity.
He remained in harness to the end. In
laying down his senatorial duties he found
the more time to devote to the Indian ques-
ton which had for many years engaged his
attention, and as the head Of the commits
sion which bears his name he continued an
active servant His state and the country
have full occasion to be thankful for life
SO long devoted to the public veal, and for
a personal example so worthy Of imitation.

A Sentiment,

The world shall write my valentine.
And strive with tender poesy
To tell how this fond heart of mine
Is filled, sweet lass, with love Of theet
The sky shall write about thine eyes
That smile on me from depths of bluet
The sun that radiantly doth rise
Shall paint thy smile so winsome, too.
And as the fleeing year shall turn
From morn to morn its pages new
Some likeness fancy shall discern
Which brings your cherished self to view
The leaf, the bud, the birdsong light,
The flowers that nod, the stars that shine
Shall seek to tell thy charms Alright
And make proper valentine.

From the New York Tribune.
Ocean wrecks, railroad accidents and
fatal fires have cast dark shadows upon
the opening weeks Of 1903. Strikes and
riots have been lamentably numerous in
various lands, while influenza, pneumonia
and other maladies have kept the doctors
busy in both hemispheres. With such be-
ginnings OF the year. the doctrine Of aver
ages and balances should be trusted to
even things, so that the coming months
may have great deal Of happiness in

Judge Alton B. Parker of New York may
be a very fine man. but the presidential

cial as anything we ever saw. There is
much more reason in the suggestion that
Olney be the democratic nominee Olney
has a record to help him. He ought to be
able to carry every state that Parker could
carry and good many others. The peo-
pie remember Mr.. Olney by his services in
the Venezuelan controversy with England

macy made him conspicuous international
