tention TO the ice situation right here In
Washington? There Is every evidence of a
shortage OF the supply. and there are sus-
picions on the part of the public that this
shortage Is the result of combination IT
is believed that the local market is con-
trotled by one corporation and that all the
small dealers who are rated as independent
are In truth dependent upon this combina-
ton for their supplies. The daily sales and
the prices are apparently regulated by this
central organization. and no amount OF en-
terprise on the part of those who are uomi-
nally outside of the trust will avail to In
crease the amount of Ice available for dis
tribution During the past two or three
days houseboIders have had great difficuity
in securing sufficient Ice to All their rsfrig-
orators. and already serious suffering has
been caused. The situation calls for some
kind of Official inquiry. whether proceedings

naturally avoid. They seem to think that
the occasion warrants and even demands
certain amount Of folly in playing with
fire and gambling with their own lives.

miniature revolver with its blank car

youngsters get hold of these articles, al

the lock jaw producers, causing ugly
wounds into which the powder refuse IS

A Wonderful Old Man.
rom the New York World,

cNom tne new 1OrK WOrio.
If age be measured by the intensity Of life
as well as its extent, Manuel Garcia, who
died in London on Saturday at 1Ol was one
of the marvels of longevity. He did not
live the simple life or the sleepy one He
was a travelling opera singer in wild places,
a sailor before the mast, a teacher of sing
ing-and no work is more wearing to- the
nerves-an inventor.
The leading case of longevity here
abouts Is that of Noah Raby, who spent his
last of possibly 115 years at the Middlesex
poor farm. New Jersey. But his career was
quiet as a mill-pond To fiLd parallels to
Garcia one seeks such cases as Sir Moses
Montefiore, who Travelled much in danger
and discomfort for his co-religionists, yet
lived to be hundred; or Titan, the paint
err, who died untimely by the plague when
in nearly his full strength at 90; or Lord
Lyndhurst, who made at 80 an excellent po-
litical speech: or the great Michael Angelo,
who became architect of st. Peters at II
and served eighteen years under four popes,
after the bitterest of lives and gigantic la
bors; or Chevreul. the great physicist, who
wrote In his Tooth year scientific treatise.
OF long life among simple scenes no case
is more remarkable than that of Khoat
Beg, whom Sven Hedin found among the
Kirghiz at III. Among his five gray old
sons she sat his saddle with as firm seat
and as proud a bearing as any among
them" But he had not an artists trials or
temperament

Multum in Paryo,

1t is the day of crisp sentences. MuchSis
packed in little. Commercialism has it's
grip on the phrasemakers. We are told
that meat will be safe now all the way
from the pasture to the can'-or from
the hoof to the can" A comfortable assur-
ance, put in either form. Coffee is recon-
mended as coming straight from the plan
tation to the cup" Shoes are advertised as
from the factory to the foot" All doubt
as to trousers Of particular brand is re-
moved by the assurance that no middle man
interferes between the loom and the leg"
Beer is guaranteed -en the score that the
passage is straight from the grain to the
growler' All OF this makes for both bust
ness and diversion. 1t catches the eye, and
then the purse. 1t is difficult to resist deal
ers who tickle your fancy while appealing
for trade.

Money and the Coming Campaign.

Let us save our sympathies, for the pres
ent at least. The campaign managers may
not be SO poverty stricken after all. AT
any rate it would be we'll for us to wait and
see how they start off, what their organi-
cations look like, and what their lines OF
labor are to be. Chairman Sherman and
Chairman Griggs are both well qualified for
their responsibilities. Both know the
country, and what is involved this year
Both are good partisans. Neither man Will
fail to give his party the benefit of the
best that is in him. Neither accepted his
place without knowledge of public senti-
ment on the subject of campaign contribu-
lions as affected by recent disclosures.
We are told, and 1t need not be doubted.
that large sums are necessary for legiti-
mate expenses in a national campaign. The
hire of halls, the uniforming of marching
clubs, the pay of bands, the pay of speak
ers for their spoutings and for their travel
ing expenses, the advertising, the pay Of
workers on election day, make up a goodly
amount. A portion. maybe the greater por-
ton, must be raised outside of political
circles proper. Professional politicians are
not as a rule liberal subscribers to cam
paign funds. They consider that they con-
tribute their share in the way Of advice
and so-called fine work" They sentinel
the watch towers. and sound alarms, and
all that sort of thing. The money, the cold
cash, should come, they insist. from those
who are expecting legislative benefits, and
from those who indulge in pride of party
and want their party to win.
Now If this campaign opens, and is con-
Quoted, after the old order of things we
may be sure that the contributions are
large. and that they are coming from the
usual sources. Politicians do not change
over night. Candidates are not famous
for running to headquarters with great rolls
of money and insisting that it be placed
where it will do the most good. A lively
campaign therefore, with speakers numer-
Gus and meetings well attended. with all
the workers out and everybody interested,
will show that neither side Is on short
commons: that 1t is still possible without
violating law, to appeal successfully for
money for campaign purposes in amounts
to wake up the country and answer all
practical purposes.
For the present, then, let us not regard
either Chairman Sherman or Chairman
Griggs as political pauper, doomed to
months of want and wretchedness. Both
may be entering upon comfortable, and
even flush, times.

Strange but True.

The men whose sturdy names are writ
Beneath that Declaration grand
Which first proclaimed in language fit
The Independence Of our land
How hapless were their lives as boys
Since, unto them a cherries fate
Denied this first of youthful joys,
A chance to shoot and celebrate.
And here's the wonder of 1t all;
Without the festive pin-wheeps glare
Or cannon crackers which appal
Or rockets hurting through the air;
Without explosions dire which see
The children changed to blackened elves
They somehow all contrived to be
AS worthy patriots as ourselves.
