EDITORIAL

In the two letters, written bv ayr
iculturisis which we published On
Tuesday, may be noted a circum-
stance which our political leaders
would do we'll to observe.
In one of the letters referred 10
VIII be noticed a complete ignor-
ing of the political elements; thew
are not even mentioned, they are not
even thought of, they are not once
alluded to in the document in quest
ion.
In the other letter, this indiffer-
ence-which amounts to disdain-this
most just disregard, is more prom
ounced, because it expresses the
fear that if the proposed assembly
of coffee growrs is held near the pol
ltlcians 1t may be affected and infu-
enced by their attitude.
The coffee growers no longer
expect anything from men who. in
their minds, are associated and
identified with the most absolute
OF failures; they regret and lament
tnat IN the meetings held recently
40 reference has been made TO the
coffee problem, and they have res
olved, if the opinion now express
sed is TO be taken as a criterion for
the view Of the thirty five thousand
agricultulsts spoken Of in one of
the above letters, to themselves I'M
dertake the defence Of their inter
ests and take from the politicians
the charges which they have negl-
ected.
We believe that the number
thirty five thousand) given by one
OF the above writer's falls short OF
the actual number of agricultur-
lists. There are more, there are
many more including those who have
animated interests; and therefore il
the cultlvators of the soil and those
directly interested refuse their con
hdence to the political parties, il
TINS attitude Of disdain shown by the
dlSgusted planters is followed by al
those who have interests to defend
what will be the use Of the present
political / parties, what interests will
they represent, what economic siren
gth VIII they possess. what resour-
ces will be theirs2
The formation Of an industria
party is talked of; such a project is
announced not only in the letters
which we published on Tuesday, b.,
by an array of circumstances to which
the phrase Of President Roosevelt
inspired perhaps, by the deficiency
which he must have noted in the ac,
tons and doctrines Of our Insulal
rpartles-has given extraordinary i'm
.portance; those parties that look witt

brought about by the stupidity and
snort sighteGness of our poiitical
leaders which has had the natural re-
suit OF desire for new party with
la program scientifically economic
that will ask for tariff proction for
our coffee or the right to secure our
own markets, which are the sole
solutions for the deep crisis which
IS annlhllatlng our social wealth, as
cohee has been truly characterized
oy distinguished economist.
From the reunion of the coffee
growers may arise a new party whi
en- the colonial interests need tor
their defence.
The attitude OF the agriculturists
seems to rs to be very wise and ii
mely. :
They are tired of filling the role of
which they are in reality
because of the fault of others. and
they are now determined to take
part themselves in public affairs BY
occupying the places heretofore &c
ded to others through an excess OF
modeSty and censurable pusillani
nifty.
they have now awakened to the
realization that their place is not
among the spectators but among the
chlet actors IN the drama of politica
life and that they ought to replace
the tailed comedians who for SO long
have held the centre of the stage.
They have at last understood that
1t IS not with rhetorical images, -nei
ther with exquisite metaphors, or
silver tongued oratory that they
should speak in these prosaic times
but with clear cut and incisive de
clslon that IS convincing; they have
decided to abandon the more modest
place In the rear and and take their
stand IN the brilliant vanguard.
The resolute attitude Of the aqri
culturlsts-nOw that the Legislative
epoch in approaching will beextre.
mely beneficial 10 the country in ge-
neral if their plans are consummated
though their Course is contrary to the
desires of all those who have a sofdid
interest IN wishing to continue Il
act as the representative of those who
believe that the moment has ar
rived for defending their interests,
the interests that have not been de
Tended and safeguarded by the ones
who appear to be responsible foi

1t is a most serious thing to live.
1t is serious to live our own life, even
if no other one is concerned; for we
must give account for every idle word
and for every act and every neglect
of duty. But it adds UNNECESSARILY to
life's seriousness to remember that
we are responsible for every touch we
give to any life that falls in the
slightest way under our influence.
There are many other ways of hurt
ing or helping others. Indeed, we
either hurt or help every one we meet,
even casually. One was telling of
look of bitter anger from another,
once a trusted friend, in meeting on
the street The look left a wound in
a gentle heart, wound which will be
long in healing. We must think of the
sin of grieving or injuring those who
love us. Let us think still more Sc
riously of causing others to sin. No
matter what it may cost us, let us
live to bless, to help, to save others.

ANIMALS AND HEAT.
Varying Effects of the Searching
Rays of the sun.


Wild animals oppressed by heat are
almost human in their actions They
seek shelter from the sun, thirst much
for water and fall down at last sun
struck. The tigers Of India seek jun
giles nearly impenetrable to man,
where in the pools theS wallow for
hours chin deep in the water rather
than endure the heat of the sun driv-
ing through the mass of foliage over
head Further than this, they may
sometimes be surprised. like deer in
the water
Cattle seek the woods and shaded
spots when the sun begins TO show its
fury, but they are soon driven out by
a more deadly enemy the armies of
bloodthirsty and keenly weaponed in
sects, and resort to the hills. Curiously
enough. many insects prefer keeping in
the shade to quenching their thirst
with blood. When the cattle seek the
pools and streams fish gather around
to snap up the flies killed by the tails
of the beasts.
Fishermen see deer along Adiron-
dack and Maine lakes and streams in
the hot days of summer. The deer in
the streams nibble at lily pad now
and again and swim across to islands
or the opposite shore.
No mammal bears the heat so well
as domestic cats. When dogs seek the
shade cats stretch themselves out in
the sun, and not till dogs pant in the
shade will they move into the shadow.
When it is hot cats drink a good deal
and lie quietly in a sort of doze, as il
thinking of ice heaps and snowdrifts.
According to an animal collector the
polar bears seem to enjoy the heat of
midsummer. When the sun beats
down hottest these thick skinned
brutes lie stretched out in the full
glare, just as a dog or cat lies down
before a fire in midwinter.
The birds of the fields, the roadside
birds, the sparrows and the pigeons
battle in the hot dust, but also find de
light in a pond, drinking great quaint
ties of water and splashing about with
the greatest enthusiasm.
In England the rocks gather round
the sheep troughs waiting eagerly for
the evening supply of water to be
turned on. In Australia parrots and
birds driven from their shady perches
and flying over an opening in time of
drought sometimes fall dead.
The woodchuck retireS to the moist
depths of its burrow, the squirrel to
its home tree The hare lies in the
long grass beside a brook in an alder
bed.
The snakes, the mud turtles, the
drooning insects seek the cattle paths
and road sands or some log in pool
of water on which the sun beats heavi-
est The heat is to them welcome.

Had to be FuIIv Dressed.

Even as a child Emperor William
was fond of the pomp of militarism
It was source of great pleasure tc
the little prince that sentinels had to
present arms to him--so much so, in.
deed, that he sometimes did not wait
I'LL he was fully dressed, but has.
tened down to the court to receive
the military honors which he loved
SO well, Great was his surprise one
day when the sentinels took absolutely
no notice of him. Burning with indig-
nation, he rushed to his father and
ted him this terrible fact with the ut
most excitement His father listened
with sympathy and then asked in a
Tone clearly expressive of doubt:
Your dress is in perfect order, hope,
before you show yourself in public?'
"llliam answered, No" mo senti-
mel Is permitted to render the honors
uue TO a prince who is not dressed
entirely as prescribed" calmly said
uhser Fritz his father. Prince
William left the room and since then
no sentinel has ever seen him dressed
o'nerwise than entirely as pre-
scribed"

blue jackets commemorating their
own defeat at Trafalgar
Another interesting fact those at
the jamestown celebration will have
an opportunity to observe will be that
while every other officer goes down
the gangway facing down, the Major
of Marines always back down with
elaborate care, as if he were leaving
the presence of his sovereign. Those
who are puzzled by this fact will find
sufficient explanation when they look
down at his feet where long spurs
project, making descent If not dis
tinctly hazardous, at least exceeding
ly uncomfortable. The Major of Ma.
rines is the only officer in the British
Navy, or probably any other navy,
who has the honor of wearing spurs
Many other customs equally quaint
and originating from causes equally
curious will be found in active force
today on ships Of not only this coun-
try, but others also, and especially in
the British Navy.
