FACTS ABOUT GASOLINE

The Standard Oil company is send
ing out representatives whose duty it
is to caution the people against plac-
ing too much confidence in prepare
tons warranted to make gasoline nom
explosive. Also they are expected to
educate the purchasing public to an
appreciation of the dangers connected
with the use of gasoline by people who
do not understand the nature of the
fluid. Philanthropy, pure and simple,
has not inspired, perhaps, Mr.. Rookie
feiler's corporation in it's present de-
parture, but nevertheless such educa-
ton as it seeks to give in the matter Of
the use of gasoline must benefit the
general public.
More accidents occur from the use of
gasoline in the summer time than in
the winter time. Innumerable summer
cottages are fitted with gasoline stoves
and many housekeepers. who remain in
the city during the season essay to
tighten their toll by doing Eight house
keeping with the aid of the vicious
fluid. If faith in non-explosive gaso-
line which is, in reality, as dangerous
as gasoline that has not been treated"
causes caution to be relaxed, fatal ac-
cidents must, multiply. AS it is, little
enough caution appears to be observed
in the use of gasoline Hardly day
passes that the newspapers do not re-
count some horrible accident from its
employment; yet housewives and SER
wants continue to use it and to use it
carelessly, too.
The fear of an explosion and the
rapidity with which the flames spread
cause individuals women, particularly,
to lose their heads the instant a fire is
discovered. Perhaps were they taught
that gasoline explodes only when it is
in an alright can with a fire under
meath or when it is six parts air they
might retain sufficient wits to act in
diligently in putting out the fire and
preventing the explosion. But the
most valuable instruction that can be
given the general public in regard to
the use of gasoline may. be summed up
in the one word Punch employed when
it gave its famous advice on the sub
ject of matrimony, Don't Doubtless
the announcement that gasoline can
not be made safe by any known method
will deter many from using it. And so
long as it saves life, it does not matter
whether such action benefits a corpora
ton or not.

decided ft; andtthht decision has been
reached, just as the decisions in Dela-
ware and Wisconsin and the platform
were made-by the decision OF. the steer
ing committee of the immense capital
istic concerns that. use the Republican
party as their active agent in politics.
That we do no, injustice to the party
in this description is proved by its po-
sition on the tariff It's tariff plank has
been dictated by the trusts, There has
been desperate struggle to get away
from it. Republicans all over the
country who are at all close to the
people understand that the people want
tariff revision. The people are weary
of paying useless burdens to enrich
millionaires. They are angry at being
Obliged to maintain the monopoly of
trusts by paying for trust made prod
ucts PRICES far higher than they are
Willingly sold for abroad. They de-
mand remission Of their burdens and
the opening Of sonic chink for hope in
the brassy horizon of monopoly.
Republican candidates. for congress
and for state offices have been anxious
for the party to take the same posi-
ton, because they, having to get the
votes of the people, perceive their dam
ger. But. the ediet from the head CEN
ter went forth that there must not be
a swerving by so much as a hairs
breadth from the extreme protection
position. The most moderate demands
of the West are turned down. The Re
publican newspapers and speakers who
have been calling for some tariff modi-
fication are held up to contempt The
party will go into this campaign with
the legend inscribed on it's banners,
"The Dingley tariff now and forever"
No party truly responsive to or rep
of assuming this attitude. No such
ultimatum would be given out under
pressure less serious than that of trust
managers, whose mandate must be
obeyed. The Republican party must
do the work of its masters and that is
it's whole mission at Chicago. The
unanimous report by all on the spot Of
a total lack OF interest in the proceed
ings is but a reflection of the attitude
of the country. Candidates and plat
form and all relating to the party have
been -foreordained. FoF an expression
of the will of the people, as well as for
carrying it into effect, the country must
look now to Democracy alone.

THE GOOD OLD SUMNER TIME

Summer arrived in these parts last
evening just as the sun went down.
Those persons who are Indifferent to
the exact computations of the scientist
and who depend upon their own senses
for information regarding the seasons
probably overlooked the advent of sum-
mer. College girls who know all about
changes of the solstices probably got
out their summer frocks and looked at
them. The more advanced among them
proceeded to darn UP the holes in the
peek-a-boo waists. The profane bandit
in charge of the summer hotel put on
an air of urbanlty and rustled an extra
blanket for his guest.
For summer came on the stage in
time to get frost. The weather was
quite delightful in the city and those
fortunate ones who lack the price to
live at the lakes were truly delighted,
but the. rejoicings of the selfish and
impesunious are not to be considered.
The meteorological of course felt in
dorsed by the arrival of rosy summer,
but then he is not to be thought of.
About the only thing he is sure of is
the changes of the seasons and as he
fixes those arbitrarily and doesn't pre-
tend to make good by showing us any
thing more than the mere statement in
the almanac he gains no kudos.
The fact that this is the first day of
summer does not help bit. We have
a tradition to the effect that summer
is the warm season. There is also
something in the way of a legend about
spring being balmy. Now is the time
for the iconoclast to get out his AK and
attack the past spring and the present
summer with a view to notwithstanding
the public. The spring was not balmy;
the summer as far as it has gone, is
not warm. We are being buncoed out
of our rights.
Of course the spring has been grate-
full to the most of us. But what of the
clothing merchant and the milliner?
What of the ice man and the vender of
straw hats? Are they not to be con-
sidered? Better that we should get
what is coming to us in the way of
weather than that the normal condi-
tions of trade should be disturbed by
the attempts of winter to occupy the
center of the stage during nine months
of the year. =
We are shy some five hundred de-
grees of the amount of heat we should
have had under normal conditions this
year-reckoning day by day. But if we
should get all that we had coming to
us we would be going about grouching
today because of the heat.
Let u.s., then, Danish our complaints.
We will get our, weather in Jumps in
stead of having it dribbIed out to us.
And if during the next sixty days the
thermometer should hover about the
hundred mark, don't forget that you
have no kick coming and that the
weather man is trying to work out even
according to the law of averages.

Democrats SPLIT on conoressman

CHICAGO, June s21.-James Turnock,
of Evanston, was today nominated for
congress by the Tenth congressional
district Democratic convention. The
Fourth congressional district Demo-
cratic convention renominated George
p. Foster for congress. In the Third
congressional district a Democratic
split occurred between the Harrison
and Hopkins factions, the result being
the naming of two nominees for con-
gress. DR.. Willis c. Stone was the
nominee of the Harrison forces. and
Thomas McGrath of the opposing fac
ton. The fight will probably go to the
election commissioners for settlement.
The Fifth congressional district DEM
ocratic convention named Charles ].
Vossika for congress, George Gubbins
was nominated by the SIXTH congress
sional district Democratic convention.

What the Editors Say


The average citizen and business
man gets a little tired of the present
situation in regard to candidates for
public offices. There may have been
time and there may be occasions when
the office seeks the man. 1t is personal
solicitation, however, that generally
wins III the present day, and in con-.
sequence men come to the front and
succeed in securing places who are
unfit for the duties they try to assume,
and the modest man remains in the
background and is not recognized

better. and would not have the per-
sonal axes to grind that bring the per-
sonal buttonholer to the front When

reasons why man is a candidate for
