Refreshing Weather,

The weather bureau has delivered the
goods Its cool wave is an entire success,
and apologies are due to the forecasters
for the questions with which the prophecy
was received. There Is no estimating the
4ives that have been saved by the drop in
the temperature If the heat of a few
days ago had continued for another week
or so prostrations would doubtless have
been numerous and the infantile mortality
would have mounted to shocking figure.
Especially has the cool wave been welcome
in view of the low state of the ice supply.
Matters were growing serious when the mer-
curry began to fall. The chief danger from
heated spell is not so much In the bad eff
feet of single day, or two or three days,
but in the cumulative effect of uninterrupt-
ed high temperatures. A stretch OF sizzling
days without relief saps the strength. 1t
is difficult TO rest at night when the air
is torrid and lifeless. The morning finds
the body exhausted, the brain tired. There
is no reserve force Of vitality with which
to begin a new day of combat with the
heat. If this cool spell, with its invig-
Grating air. its refreshing nights and its
lessening of the acute problems of food
and ice, will continue for another week 1t
will be possible to face the menace OF mid
July with comparative equanimity.

Esthetic:sm and Meat Packing

The Chicago packers have been given a
clean bill of health-by their friends and
business associates. There is now made
public report rendered by a joint COM
mittee OF the Chicago Commercial and the
Illinois Manufacturers associations appoint
ed to investigate the conditions at the pack
ing houses. This report exonerates the
meat men. 1t ahsolves them of all question
as 10 their practices, purposes and products.
II sneers at the esthetc standards and
vague requirements of those who criticise
the packers. Such faults as it finds with
the methods are softly expressed. and with
extenuating phrases based upon the hy-
nothesis that the packers have been val
iaRtly struggling for purity against ad-
verse conditions.
This report viii not allay the public sus-
picion that the packers are bent upon
making the utmost profit out OF their bust
ness with the least regard for the welfare
of the consumer. Such a suspicion is after
all based upon knowledge OF the fun6amen-
tai doctrine of business. the doctrine OF sell
ishuess. Il is entirely safe TO assume that
the packers VIII give just as listIe value
and go to as little expense as the trade will

Speed Law and Fire Engines.

Any Interpretation of the new law re-
lating to the speed of vehicles in this Dis
triet that applies restrictively to the fire
apparatus will be regarded by the COM

Mr.. Taggart Stands Pat.

Mr. Taggart seems justified in refusing to
resign the craftsmanship Of the democratic
national committee at this time. There Is
absolutely nothing in the recent develop
ments at his Indiana health and pleasure
resort to warrant the demand. He appears
in no new light His connection with the
establishment has long been known. 1t was
the subject of discussion when he was
selected for the place he holds. Some peo-
pie regretted the matter, and some thought
it might injure the party in the campaign.
Such might have been the case IL Mr. Tag
CART had been worth while to the opposition
that year. But the whole Parker outfit
proved SO weak and futile the republicans
did not find it necessary to use half the
material they possessed. And so Mr.. Tag
CART and his sporting connections cut but
the smallest figure in the contest
1t will be remembered that the chairman
ship almost went begging that year. A
New Yorker might have had 1t, but no New
Yorker capable of filling the place would
take it. Mr.. Hill, Mr.. Sheehan, August
Belmont, all SHE'D at the suggestion Mr..
Taggart's friends saw their opportunity,
and feeling that the office would give a
certain lift to him asked for 1t. Indiana
had tried to secure the vice presidential
nomination for John w. Kern, which gave
her claim on the party after Mr.. Davis of
West Virginia was chosen. So Mr.. Taggart
was made chairman of the national COM
mittee, and the score was settled. Indiana
was satisfied, and Mr.. Taggart was de-
lighted
Nor can it be denied that in office
during the Parker campaign Mr.. Taggart
did all In his power for his party. He was
no more to blame for what happened than
the man in the moon. He contributed all
he had toward the ticket-a breezy presence
at headquarters. and famboyant talk
about success every now and then. The
weakness Of the ticket proved in way to
be his own salvation. For had the race
been close and the republicans spurred to
extremes, the country would have echoed
loudly with descriptions of Mr.. Taggart's
Indiana interests and voters been asked to
rebuke the party which had made itself
responsible for them by honoring him.
The only news in all this business is the
value of the gambling layout seized. Fifty
thousand dollars is goodly sum: and there
will be hearts to ache when the rich and
gaudy apparatus goes up In smoke, as the
law requires.

Danger in Egypt.

The solemn warning of the British foreign
secretary that there is grave danger of
trouble in Egypt calls attention pointedly
to new phase of England's foreign en-
barrassments. For some time there have
been little troubles in Egypt which have
been lightly passed over as merely casual.
But according to Sir Edward Grey there
lies behind these disturbances pronounced
fanaticism calculated TO cause infinite diff
fculty if the British forces In Egypt are
not strengthened and the hands of Lord
Cromer stoutly upheld by the government
at London
There is a wide ramifcation from this
Egyptian disturbance. Some observers OF
Europe old world politics profess to believe
that the influence lines lead through Con-
stantinopie to Berlin. However that may
be. it is plainly the belief of the foreign
office at London that the fanaticism of the
Egyptions must be met with rigorous meas
ures. This means series of expeditions
after the familiar English style such ex-
petitions for instance, as that which is
now being conducted in South Africa, where
Zulus being slain by the score to i'm
press the natives with the dignity and
power of the British government.
When Lord Kitchener marched from
Cairo to Khartum and fought the battle of
Omdurman 1t was believed that England
had delivered finally crushing blow to the
fanatics of upper Egypt. Kitchener I'M
doubtedly taught the dervishes OF the
desert lesson of the kind that Is not
easily forgotten. But there is no account
ing for the Mussulman. He Is never quite
thoroughly conquered. He may seem to be
crushed for years. but he Is only awaiting
his opportunity to gather his forces and
strike again. Death has no terrors for
him. He believes that he passes directly
from the field of battle for the crescent flag
into the delights OF a material paradise.
Kitchener found the dervishes a desperate
foe. one OF the hardest to defeat he had
ever encountered. large expedition into
the upper Nile region will not be as difficult
that of 1898, for the transport lines
are now established and the task of throw
ing troops through the length and breadth
OF Egypt is comparatively simple. The
question which agitates the British min
istry at present is whether Lord Cromer
Will have at his disposal when the time
arrives a sufficient force to stamp out an
uprising OF the fanatics

true that on the stretches between streets
the fire apparatus does not exceed or even
reach the prohibited speed. but the fact
remains that under strict application
of the statute all the IRE department
vehicles would need to be checked to q
slow speed at crossings and In turning
corners. This would prove heavy handi-
cap.
The rule has always been to regard the
IRE engines as privileged beyond all rules
and laws. So far has this principle been
carried that special regulations have been
adopted prescribing certain crossings
where street cars intersect the likely
routes OF steamers as compulsory stop
ping points for the cars. This regulation
may be regarded as establishing q prin-
ciple which might safely be construed in
the present case as paramount to the new
law, In view Of the grave question of the
Intention OF Congress.
II a test case were made under this
statute the courts might with entire pro-
priety rule that 1t is contrary to public
policy and interests thus to stretch the
statute to embrace the apparatus upon
which the safety Of the city depends.
Probably the best way, IL the authorities
adhere to the belief that the statute APP
plies to the fire department.. will be to
make an early test case and meanwhile to
proceed as before to send the fire engines
out In response to alarms at their former
speeds, which are SO high that the Wash
ington fire department is today rated
with the best in the world for efficiency.

Primaries Have Come to Stay.
inland Oregonian says:


In Oregon the political party convention
is a thing OF the past. Whatever else may
be said against the nominating primary, 1t
puts out of business an oligarchy or pro-
fessional managers-even though the people
In making direct nominations may not al
ways do their work wisely or we'll
The nominating primary is finding favor
wherever tried. In no state where parties
have adopted It is there any talk of re-
turning to the old plan, or of inventing a
new one General satisfaction IS expressed
with results obtained where the voters
have had opportunity to register their
choice as to the party ticket Senatorial
elections SO decided have been so approved
that no longer any need is felt for amend
ing the Constitution in behalf of the popu-
lar election of senator's The primary meth
Cd of instructing the legislatures gives us
that in effect, and no additional machinery
is necessary.
In Kentucky a democratic primary has
been called to nominate both a state ticket
and q candidate for United States senator.
Some objection was raised to the date
the congressional polling day in November
but that was overruled by the committee,
and the battle has begun. Candidates for
Tie state offices are announcing themselves,
and Senator McCreary and Gov. Beckham
are in the field for the formers seat. The
state will be thoroughly canvassed. and no
democrat need be without information as
to where the men who aspire to lead the
party stand on the issues of the day. Every
voter of that party can make an intelligent
choice and then await the result with the
feeling that. come what may, he has had
his say
Primaries. we are told. are expensive for
candidates. That may be true But men
aspiring to Office understand that 1t re-
quires money to visit the people and get
their views properly before voters. They
are not forced to run. 1t is for every man
who wants office and the prestige that goes
with it to decide whether he is able TO
stand the tariff.
But if primaries expensive for candf-
dates. conventions have been much more
expensive for the people. Convention day
was the signal for the fine work of caucus
fxers and tricksters. and usually a few ex-
pert spirits living at county seats manipu-
lated the expression of the county. 1t was
the era of numerous small and corrupt
rings, whose members feurished on political
pickings
Primaries do not Danish rings-nothing
can do that-but they reduce their number
and lessen the opportunities for fraud and
plumber.

The Egyptian Menace.
From the New York Tribune


1t would be injudicious to assume that
the peace of the world is endangered by the
unrest which undeniably prevails In the
Egyptian delta or that the peace of Europe
Is threatened. Time was when such might
have been the case That was when the
status of Egypt in relation to the European
powers was as yet underlined. But now
there is no uncertainty on that point Great
Britain has free hand in Egypt, and her
policy and actions there will not be chal-
lenged by any other power. The worst
that can happen is that Great Britain will
be compelled to put forth more OF her
strength for the control of Egypt. Such a
necessity, should 1t arise, would be regret
table, but it would not be embarrassing.
The emergency could be successfully met
much more easily, We imagine, than was
that of 1882. With so competent statesman
as Sir Edward Grey in the foreign Office, and
with the veteran Lord Cromer at Cairo. the
British mind will probably remain tranquil
on that subject, though demanding that
there shall be constant and ample up
holding of the hands of those to whom Is
committed the maintenance of British au-
thority aloag the Nile.

Beware of the Stage Door.
From the chicago nter.ocean.

There should be a lesson learned from
the hopeless failure that men who haunt
the stage door make of their lives, but
there appears not to be. Unhappiness. mis-
cry. divorce and crime follow one upon the
other as result of the stage door infatu-
atoms. and hardly day passes that there
is not reported in some court OF law in the
country the story of a mans downfall or
a woman's shame that Is traceable to the
stage door and friendships there begun. 1t
Is false, pernicfous influence, and the sus-
ceptible weak creatures who yield to It
court degradation and disaster.
