the state during August has been 67,
while the mean here for the month just

ust rainfall for the state, during the
thirty three years that a weather record
has been kept is 1893 inches. Rainfalls
occurred days during the month this
year against days last year. There

FRIDAY. JUNE 7. 1907,
A Word to Uncle Joe.

When we read of him as the other
end of partnership with the Presi-
aent, the whole Lam of legislation,
and a candidate for the Republican
nomination with units of pulling
power in every Congressional dis
trict, we are likely to think the
Speakers desk the switchboard of
the political current. But we reckon
without the women, and these days
the women insist on being consid-
cred.
At any rate. fhe Federation of
WOmen's Clubs, in session at the
jamestown Exposition, is holding
Uncle Joe accountable for House in
difference to the free art bill, the
protection of American forests, and
the national child-labor law. 1t was
this non-voting element of our body
polite that passed the pure food
law. If they once get it into their
pretty heads that your Uncle Joe is
blocking the way to this other legis-
lation, the only advice his friends
can give is that of the Russian
proverb:
Hope in the Lord, but exert yourself.
