THE STATE GRAIN CROP.

The Seattle Times, in commenting
upon the grain crop of the state, says:
According to the report of Chief
Deputy Grain Inspector King, who has
no reason to be looked upon as in the
least sensational, the loss of the wheat
crop in Washington this year is fully
25 per cent of the average crop. This
means that the production of wheat
will be about 100000 bushels less than
it was last year, which, at IS cents, a
conservative price, figures the loss at
$4,000, 900. AS there was also short
age in the small fruits crop, as we'll
as in cherries, apricots and peaches, 1t
can be taken for granted that the far
mers of the state will not find the
years returns as profitable as they
were a year ago by several millions of
dollars"

woman. Linen mesh underwear Is
cool; so is the gauze cotton or Isle, to
be had now quite cheap. For grown
women there is the long, flounced lawn
chemise. which does away with multi
plicity Of skirts. All this underwear
is nearly as easily washed as a hand
kerchief, and much Of it needs no iron
ing. 1t can therefore be changed every
day in extremely hot weather. And
under no circumstances should any of
the days underwear be retained upon
the body at night.
The barefoot sandal is the ideal hot
weather foot covering for women and
children at home. 1t is the next best
thing to going barefoot altogether.
These sandals, as the name indicates,
are to be worn without stockings.

CRYING FOR ROOSEVELT.

Senator LaFollette, of Wisconsin,, de-
clared in an interview at Lima, O..
that President Roosevelt must run
again in order to keep Bryan from
being president. In his interview the
senator said:
Under the present conditions it
must result in President Roosevelt be-
ing the man named to defeat William
Jennings Bryan. This is Washington S
view, though a strong sentiment is be-
ing brought forward in behalf Of Will
liam H. Taft, recognized as Roosevelt
choice"
There are thousands, yes millions, OF
people in these United States who
think as does the Wisconsin senator.

BASIS OF A NEW PARTY.

The suggestion that there is an OPEN
ing for the formation of a new party
finds an echo in the minds Of many
votes who are now aligned with eth
er the republican or democratic par
ties So far as the latter is concerned
it has practically no hold upon the rising
generation of voters because it has no
principles which they can understand.
If new voter should go to demo-
cratic chieftain and solicit an explana-
ton of the principles of the democratic
party in order that he might be able
to know how to cast his first vote, the
said chieftain would, probably, after
floundering about quite a while, get
mad and give it up. He would have
as hard a time to get the democratic
vagaries back under the democratic
standard as the first boy who attempt
ed to solve the pigs in clover.
On the other hand if the same young
man went to the republican seer he
would get a clear idea of the party's
platform 1t believes in a protective
| tariff, gold money, internal improve
ments The democratic party has al
ternately fought and favored all three
of these things and has not today the
first idea of what it would do with
any one of them had it the power.
But there are other things about a
party than its platform. There is its
history. The history of the democrat
ic party is longer than that of its ma
tional rival Part of it is merely ira
dition There is nothing practical to
connect Jefferson with the democratic
party of today. 1t is a mere assump-
ton of relationship unjustified by any
act of Jefferson's. Jefferson did not
even call his party democratic. He
called it republican. The democrats
base their claim to relationship not
on what Jefferson's party did but on
some things that Jefferson said. But
Jefferson said a great many things,
some of which are as useful today to
one party as to another.
The history of the republican party
| is shorter, more consistent and more
attractive than that of its opponent.
The republicans came into power with
Lincoln and gave the party a series
| of brilliant administrations after the
war. The public noticed that the coun-
| try was usually prosperous when the
| republicans were power. They have
| only recently begun to discover that
while the republicans by their policies

KEEPING COOL AND WELL.

Suggestions For Health ana Com1oHt
In the Hot Season.
Next to a calm temper the great
cooling agent in summer is also the
universal cleansing agent-water. And
if YOU want to get exercise that at
once cleanses your skin, develops your
muscles tremendously, gives you wind
and limb power and Is a whole lot OF
fun besides, practice swimming. IL
makes one extremely graceful too.
There never was a good swimmer who
was awkward and numbering in gait
and movement.
1t is odd that women and girls In
the country are more generally igno-
rant Of the art of swimming than those
of the city, although every farm has
water facilities that might with little
work be utilized to form swimming
pond or pool. Farm girls and women
need not muffle themselves in stock
ings and skirts as part of their swim
ming costume. One Invested of every
thing superfluOus, such as is worn by
women champion swimmers in their
races, will answer every purpose In
secluded rural districts. The farmer
who does not love his wife and daugh-
tiers enough to go to some trouble to
make a swimming pond for them is
rare among American agriculturists.
Masculine relatives can always be
found who will teach women to swim.
A dip for the whole family in the pool
at the end of hard. hot days labor is
ideal enjoyment. -Four feet is a good
depth for the water in the pond.

lice questions, to the satisfaction OF
those who take time to read the mes
sages in the newspapers.
But, as intimated, these things have
been said before. We wouldn't exactly
call them chesnuts-but surely they
are repetitions.
The only phase of such messages,
which would not be a chestnut, or a re-
petition, or a plagiarism, If you Will,
would be the actual execution Of the
ideas advanced.
But can Mayor Kellough carry out
those police measures he speaks of SO
impressively and heroically? The
Statesman does not question Mr.. KEEL
lough's sincerity at the present time.
1t merely points out to him that there
are others engaged with him in the
job of running the city. And there are
others behind those others, who have
selfish political plans to mature and ex-
ecute the carrying out of which might
be seriously interfered with if the
mayor should be able to exemplify his
police views.
1t is a parting of the ways for the
mayor and the majority of those who
were behind him in the recent election
and who, in a measure, have voting
control of the actual administration.
Either Mr.. Kellough will be mayor and
the clique will be turned down, or, after
a few weeks of public resistance, the
clique will be in control and the words
of the message will have been writ
ten on the sands.
From what little has been seen of
the new chief executive it would ap-
pear that he now intends to be mayor
and an honest mayor. If such he
proves to be, The Statesman will be
of the first to congratulate and praise.
If he surrenders to numbers it will be
necessary to record the surrender.
On other matters the mayor exhibits
an earnest ethusiasm which is COM
mendable and finds ready response
from all citizens who are for progress.
The proposed new charter, the new
city hall, the street improvements and
the health safeguards are heartily en-
dorsed. His suggestions as to the re-
duction of the water rents and the au-
diting of the water revenues, with the
of men who will make a
study of the conditions and demands,
cannot but be acceptable to every
property owner and citizen. We are
all with Mr. Kellough in these mat
tiers.
The talking has been done. Now
let's execute.

Keeping the House Cool.

Among respectable farm people the
house not now provided with wire
screens for doors and windows is the
exception. These are so valuable in
keeping out various objects which
should not be let in that we wonder
how people ever did without them.
With them there can be free circula-
ton Of air at all times. In the morn
ing as early as possible a house should
be thrown open and aired throughout.
AS the sun begins to warm things up
blinds can be let down and shutters
closed. Where there are no shutters
dark green or blue window shades are
best. In the evening after sunset the
house may be thrown open again. One
should eat as little meat food as posi-

put the country in the way of earning
a great deal of wealth they
have not taken care Of the dis
tribution of it, Under the republican
tariff a great many monopolies have
been permitted to spring up.
Now it is quite evident that if there
is an opening for new party 1t lies
in the amalgamation of the repub-
licans who believe that the consumer
is beginning to get the worst of the
tariff deal and the democrats who be-
lieve their own party has fallen con-
porations also. Whether these TWO
classes have a grievance which justi-
fies their Independent appeal to their
fellow citizens will be largely deter
mined by the elections this fall.
In New York Mr.. Hearst may run
for governor on an independent tick
et If he should beat both the old

mayor, it would be a strong sign that
in the empire state new deal is call
ed for.
The American Federation Of Labor
is making war on number of NOM
tickets. Should it succeed in defeat
ing some of these leaders it would be
an indication of unrest in that direc-
ton.
The dissatisfaction of men who have
either the republican or democratic
parties is most pronounced where in
CAPABILITIES of the distribution of wealth
has been most freely discussed.
In Iowa, where the tariff has been
talked for two years the so-called pro-
gressives or tariff reform republicans
have won a complete victory over the
standpat element led by a member Of
the cabinet. In Pennsylvania the re-
publican party is split squarely in two
over the nti-monopoly issue in
slightly different form. Everywhere
there is dissensions over some
form of the property problem.
Men who have only ilimted
time to live and accumulate for those
they would leave in comfort behind
them are maddened by the process of
heaping up corporate wealth by meth
DDS which clearly would mean prison
for an individual. They see their pub
lie men taking care Of the productive
possibilities of the land, but allowing
the problem of distribution to go to
seed because they are too cowardly to
wrestle with it.
If the present generation of states
men will not wrestle with it under the
name of democrat or republican the
people will wrestle with it themselves
under some new name and new leaders.
