A Good Time for Veterans.

Veterans In politics and in years are far
ing very we'll these days Illinois republic
cans have just decided in favor of Mr.
CuIlom as against Mr.. Yates. The former,
they think will serve the state better in the
Senate. And so he will. He has been
long time in harness, has committee as
signments Of Importance. and exercises an
Influence accordingly. Mr.. Yates is a hus-
tier. and has other claims upon his party
but he can wait. Maybe both he and his
party will be the gamer in the end by rea-
son OF the walt Although at first he has
not succeeded. he can try, try again. and
the next time bring ripper powers to bear
on the contest.
In Alabama two veterans have everything
their own way. Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Pet
tus have all the youngsters on the hip. AS
much as tho latter are asking IS a chance
when the former quit the scene. That much
will be granted This years contest is to
determine the successors of the two men
who. II they live. are certain to succeed
themselves They have so distinguished
themselves In Office. and are so well quail
fed TO continue IN office. that change in
their cases is out of the question.
Old men for council. young men for &C
ton. That is good. Plenty of young men
have Jobs. There was never more action In
our affairs thar at present. We are doing
things all around, and every day In the
week. It is an excellent thing, therefore. to
keep good supply of experienced men In
commission TO help regulate thlngs-to put
on the brakes now and then when the speed
limits are passed. They are very necessary
at all times. and just now are invaluable
The particular men under discussion, how
ever, while veterans in years and public
service. are fully abreast of the times. They
do not live In the past, or with but scant
appreciation of what the present means.
They are very much alive. and as active
supporters of up-to-date progress and poll
cIes as their younger colleagues. All three
have participated approvingly In much of
the recent history made. and Mr.. Morgan
has done so In the face of good deal OF
sharp criticism from his own side. Years
have broadened all their views. and liberal
~ equipped them for their work They have
kept their eyes and minds open, and given
their best thoughts TO the country's good.
Our present pace Is hot, but many OF the
older men can keep 1t. For those who can,

of soldering IS no light task.
This realization common to all branches
OF the service. is valuable factor In its oe-
velopment as a reliable citizen soldiery. Tne
day of the "tin soldier" has passed, and the
day of the well-traiDed. earnest, intelligent
reservist has come. To the extent that this
reserve force Is kept up to the mark and
aware OF its responsibilities. the military
preparedness of the United States for emer-
gencies will be all that the circumstances
of peace require. These camp experiences,
trying as they are. serve the good end OF
discouraging the men who are only half
hearted in their service and encouraging
those who appreciate the need of a we'll
organized and efficient militia force and
are willing to contribute to that end.

Keep the Refrigerators Cold!

In ordinary circumstances the present
hurst of hot weather would be hard enough
10 endure but in view of the shortage of
the ice supply the high temperatures OF
yesterday and today cause apprehension.
Much sickness. especially among infants
and children. is certain TO ensue II the do
nestle refrigerators are put upon short ra-
tions through the souring of milk. In the
circumstances IL is to be hoped that the
managers of the distributing companies will
adopt the policy OF first providing the house
holders with a sufficient quantity of Ice.
putting into the second class such consum-
ers as saloons and drug stores, which serve
only luxuries to the people and which could
in an emergency be shut of entirely with
out causing any lasting bad results. In
deed, IT would perhaps be no bad thing II
washington were kept strictly down to a
milk and water basis during the dog days.
There would probably be fewer cases of
heat prostraton.
1t is Of course true that the saloons and
drug stores are the heaviest consumers of
ice and that 1t is good business to keep
them well supplied. 1t costs more to serve
the domestic consumers. whose Individual
takings have to be cut from the original
block. thus entaiIing waste. At the same
time. the greater part of the Ice used in
Washington goes into the domestic refrig-
orators and Il it were not for these con-
sumers many Of the ice men would soon go
out of business. In an emergency OF this
kind. however the principles of humanity
and not those of business should govern,
and the men In charge of the various con-
Germs that make or retail ice will 10 far
toward softening the public sentiments by
formally adopting and vigorously maintain
ing policy Of providing the households of
the capital with all the ice needed for the
preservation OF health and leaving the dis
pensers OF luxuries to be supplied with what
may remain.

comfort to have such man at Albany rep

The Tammany authorities were foath to

The Wreck of the Sirio.

Although the reports are still fragmentary
and the facts somewhat uncertain. enough
is known of the Sirio wreck to place it
among the most destructive marine disas-
tiers on record. The vessel was packed with
immigrants, OF class among which panic
spreads swiftly. The ship was being taken
over very dangerous course at full speed,
in order to save time. Her commander took
grave risks with a channel at once narrow
and tortuous and lined by reefs and rocky
islands. She must have torn open her hull
for such a distance that her immediate
sinking was inevitable, whether she was
equipped with compartments not. There
was no time to organize the flight. and in
few moments the ship was the scene OF
horrible fight for the boats, some Of the
passengers, it is reported, using knives to
force their way to the front.
There is no way surely to prevent such
disasters. II marine commanders will take
chances with dangerous shores and chan
nels ships will continue to strike and
founder. and people will be killed by the
hundreds. When ship goes down In the
sea because of the stress of storm. or when
she collides with another vessel In a fog,
or is driven out of her course by gales and
loses her bearings and founders, or engines
to hope that such tragic causes will not
again occur. But when a man of expert
ence deliberately runs his vessel into mar
row rock-lined channel In order to save
few minutes or hours on a trans-oceanic
trip the fault is beyond the limits Of proper
punishment.
In this case the captain of the ship killed
himself as his vessel sank. This was
towards act. The traditions OF the sea re-
quire that the commander Of a stricken
It is to the undying glory of the men who
follow the sea that this rule is never vio-
lated. Had the captain of the Sirio met
his fate bravely. finding death in the waters
rather than by the bullet of a pistol. he
would have at least stood up to the mark
of his calling His suicide was a confess
sion OF guilt
One bright ray is shed upon the dismal
conducted by the fishermen who braved
and possible enguifment when the ship
sank. Had there been little more time it
is likely that these brave fellows would
have saved practically all OF the sirio's
company The. dispatches Indicate that
two trawlers between them rescued 500.
One aged fisherman in his smaller craft
brought twelve to shore. Unfortunately,
several of these heroes were themselves
drowned by the overturning of their boat
in the rescue work. The perils of the sea
make all true men unselfish In time of
danger, and such deeds of self-sacrihce on
tho loudest expressions of the worlds

Cruising for Derelicts.

From the New York Tribune
The excellent work in destroying dan
gerous derelict last week, begun by the Ia
coma and completed by the Columbia, gives
renewed point to the suggestion hitherto
made in these columns that vessels of the
navies OF the world might with peculiar
profit be employed in tracking and destroying
the abandoned hulks which dot the seas and
which present one of the most serious dam
gers to navigation. OF the need that dere-
lets shall be destroyed as speedily as pos
sible there can be no question. Many known
accidents and disasters have been due to
them, and there Is reason for supposine
that many. perhaps most, of the mysteri-
Gus disappearance of vessels might truly
be explained on the ground that they had
come into collision with those wandering
destroyers. Carrying no lights. making no
noise, giving no signal of any kind, often
lying so low In the water as to be scarcely
perceptible, and heavy and solid almost as
a rock. derelct is something against which
a vessel can scarcely be guarded In the dark
and collision with which is always serious
and often disastrous
