TOO sELF-cENTEREp.

Says the Milford Chronicle:
Many Of the State newspapers who
are OF a different political faith than
Governor HUM have. by a iabored ef-
fort at sarcasm, tried to make our
Chief Executive appear ridiculous for
the performance Of his duty in review
ing the State troops on Thursday, July
1Gth. at Rehoboth.
Unfortunately there are many medi-
ocre men who when raised to a position
which brings them temporarily into the
lime light lose all sense Of perspective
and Imagine the whole world has It's
gaze centcred on them. They lack thai
sense Of hunnor which is the salt Of life
and which is presumed to be the birth
right OF all Americans. The man wh'
takes himself too seriously is likely q
have more fun Doked at him than h'
can bear with ecuanimity.

The report that Mgr. d. ]. O'Connell,
rector of the Catholic University al

on account OF HIS electioneering for

O'Connell only came to Rome TO pre-
sent his report on the condition of the
university over which he presides.
Finding the pope at the point OF death.
he merely submitted a verbal report
to Cardinal Satolli. who, as project Of

STORMY AUGUST
Says First Two Weeks VIII Be Like
Last Week of July Weather
Prophet FOreteHs Hot
Waves

The Rev. Ire r. Hicks. in his magazine.
Word and Works" makes the following
weather forecast for the month of
August
The whole month OF August will feel
more or less the influence Of the equinox
of the planet Mars. The storm diagram
shows the Mars disturbance to be CEN
trail en- che 10th, extending from the last of
July, well into September. We have fire.
quently referred to the fact that the Mars
influence always tends ITO fix and perpet-
uate any weather conditions that may
exist at the time of entering his equin-
octial periods. II at the entrance of a
Mars period IL Is dry and warm, It is safe
to say that the same kind Of weather will
largely predominate until his period IS
past. If we come well into a Mars period
with tendency to wet and stormy weather
look for predominance Of such weather
for several weeks.
Hence. II the present case-ls not an ex-
cep.ion to the rule. we may expect in the
MAN, the kind Of weather existing the
last week in July, throughout August
and into September
Whatever degree of intensity may be
given to them, regular storm disturbances
will be due from the 1st to the 4th of
August. The probabilities are that the
natural warmth TO be expected at this
season will grow into a crisis Of summer
heat about the LIST, 2nd and 3rd. to be
followed progressively from the west by
low barometer, threatening clouds and
severe clustering. Local rains-some of
them quite heavy-may attend these
storms. but the general supply and diff
fusion of rains over the country promise
to be short and poorly distributed.
A ieacuonary storm period exists on
the 9Th. 9TH and Sth. during which days
look for increase of warmth. falling bar

Law AND LABOR.

The President has taken stand in
regard 70 union labor in the govern
ment intine Office that is reasonable
ana proper. The government has made
provision for the employment and dis
charge Of men. They are required to
pass civil service examination, and
are presumably appointed for their ef-
hciency. When, then, the union sus-
pended William A. Miller. assistant
foreman of the book binding depart
ment recently and he was 50 conse-
quence dismissed from his place. the
President had plain duty to perform
u became a question OF whether the
government should control the print
ing Office or the labor organization. His
associates said that for Miller to be re-
tained Mould be ia violation OF the
uSgs o. tfcii order. but his dismissal
without sufficient cause would be in
Violation vf the laws OF the United
States. This being true it is very ap-
parent that the constitution Of that la
Dor organization needs to be altered.
Meanwhile, Miller win go back to
work to-day. and e remains fer The
other employees to carry out their
threat OF quitting in a body. should
they do this they win nnd thousands
ready to take their places and their re-
mstatement win be out Of the question.
The President has signihed his inten-
tion Of seeing that the charges against
Miller are sifted. and IL they are sus-
tanned it is pretty certain that ~ viii
be dismissed in the regular way, but
his retention or dismissal win be at
tended to by the government. and not
dictated by a labor organization.
II we are not greatly mistaken the
more intelligent labor leaders will coin
eide in these views Tyranny whether
of employer or employees, is no Longer
popular. There are natural differences
between the two great industrial
forces. but adjustments by strikes ol
lock-outs are growing less popular
More and more honest and olear-head
ed leaders and councillors are needed
and we believe that labor disturbance
are growing fewer. But the fact mus
be recognized that union law is not IN
supreme law, and that labor laws AM
labor constitutions must yield befor
the law of the land and an enlightene'
public opinion.

barometer; easterly to southerly winds
will increase the heat over all sections
east Of the actual storm centers. As the
low barometer moves eastward, threat
ening clouds with severe local storms will
visit many sections. with favorable con-
ditions for some generous midsummer
rains
This greatly increases the probability OF
rain from about the 18th to the 18TH
While the heat wave and storms are stiTi
passing central and eastern parts of the
country, change to cooler will be advanc-
ing fiom the west and north, so that by

try Will have felt the change to cooler
weather.
If the perturbations Of the Mars period,
which is seen by the storm diagram to be
central on the 2Oth should sake on the
nature of violent atmospheric displace-
ments-a result rather to be expected-the
regular storm period extending from the
2lst TO the 9th will develop some violent
and dangerous West India storms. The
situation will be more critical from the
fact that the moon is in perigee on the
2lst rev on the 22nd, and on the celestial
