We don't know whether the prophets
meant to include Texas in their proph~
ecy Of no Summer for 1907. but if they
did they are now without honor in that
part of their own country. For it is
hot in Texas. Not quite warm, I thank
you, but hot. For a week the hot wave
has waved there. The mercury has
been as high as III In the shade and
ITO in the sun.
No wonder the Houston Post has
been chortling about the watermelons
and other products of Texas. We don't
suppose baked waternelons would suit
everybody, but it Is we'll enough for
the Post to brag. Perhaps one Of the
attractions Of Texas will soon be po-
tatoes baked before they are dug. Tex-
as Is a great State, and many things
there are In proportion. But IL the
heat there Is much greater there will
be recurrence of the reputation
which got itself attached to the state
before the hottest place was abolished
by higher criticism.

OFT

The president of the big Rock Island
system has announced that it is out Of
politics, and that its lobbyists at 1.-THE
United States Of Rock Island" as well
as at the national capital, are called
off.
This Is cheering. 1t may indicate
that the Rock Island system has got
all 1t thinks It can safely get for the
present out Of politics and lobbying
and 1t may indicate that the system is
sensitive to the growing popular feel
ing against political and lobby work BY
railroad systems. Whatever 1t indi-
Gates It is a good thing, and is am ex-
ample which may be more or less ex-
tensively initiated. 1t is certainly not a
very favorable time for big railroad
systems to be conspicuous in politics
and lobbying. They might, we suppose,
win more victories in both those
branches Of effort. but in the end thu
victories might cost more than they
would come 10. 1t Is u good time for
big railroad systems not to feel too big
and to remember that the meek are
going to inherit the earth.

tboston Iranscrlpt.)
None of our antiquities are more
cherished by healthy natures than our
ancient and historic trees. When the
Old Elm on the Common blew down,
about thirty years ago, there was a
genuine grief among the older resid-
ents and there was a general scramble
for souvenirs of this patriarch OF our
Oldest park, even down to the smallest
twig. The Charter Oak at Hartford
has given its name to numerous insti-
buttons and its remains have been scat
tered in various forms, artistic or 9TH
erwise through the homes of Connec-
ticut and even other States. The Old
Elm In Cambridge, under which Wash
ington received his commission from
the Continental Congress, but now ia st
lettering to its fall, has been the shrine
Of hundreds of thousands of patriotic
pilgrims. The severe storm Of Satur-
day night was almost fatal to two more
remarkable sentinels Of as many towns.
The Revolutionary tree at Arlington
was two-thirds destroyed and probably
the remainder has sustained mortal in
jury. But Lancaster mourns an even
greater loss. Her chief native dis
tinction is practically destroyed. Her
Queen Elm, which has been declared
the largest in Massachusetts, is a
wreck For years it has been braced
with rods and bound with iron bands,
but the force of the incipient tornado
was too strong even for these, The dia-
meter Of its spread was $50 feet, and
the ground circumference of its trunk
nearly thirty-seven. TO these two
towns the storm brought general be-
.reavement.

INTERESTING FIGURING.

They are always figuring in Massa-
chusetts, and some of their figuring is
interesting The Massachusetts No
License League has been figuring on
the relation between the saloon and
the school. An investigation was ma6a
for the year 19o4-5 of the primary and
grammar schools in t,te cities of the
State to show what relation there was
between the total number of children
in the cities between the ages Of FIVE
and fifteen and the school attendance.
1t appears that there were ten no.. IL
cense cities IN which on the average
IS 3-5 per cent. of the children attend
ed school and that there were ten H.
cense cities in which only 70 per cent.
of the children attended school, This
is interpreted as meaning that where
parents had full opportunities tc spend
their money for liquor the children
were deprived to a great exten. Of the
opportunities for education which the
liquor money might have made avai1a-
bic to them. Last fan a stiHlnar test

RICH AND GREAT

There may be better time coming,
but the good time is already here ac-
eording to the testimony of those who
know. We are continually told that we
are wonderfully prosperous, the Der
capita Is bigger than 1t ever was and
the Surplus" for the current year bids
fair to be s1SO,OoO,0OO. We can have ev-
erything we want that we can paw for
or get trusted for, we can 10 to and
fro in chariots more fast and fiery than
the world has ever seen, except. per-
haps, the one the prophet went IN in.
and we can have Carnegie libraries.
SO much for what we can have. Now
for what we are. A we'll known Brook
Ign preacher tells us that the pessi-
mistic talk about there being fewer
great men than formerly is not true.
1t is far truer to say that "ail the
people are becoming 50 great that IT
is hard to see the trees for a forest
that is q thick Eden Of beauty and de-
light"
That's the way to put 1t. Rich and
great! What more can we reasonably
want? Being rich and great we can
perhaps afford to also be good.

ONE MORE.

Revolutions are so common nova
days that they have ceased to be thrill
ing, but 1t may be we'll enough to no.
tlce that one more has been announced.
Curiously enough the announcement
comes from Spain, which has the
reputation of being slow country. But
Senior Pedro Puigianer, a well-known
engineer of Barcelona, has submitted to
practical trials a rotatiVe steam en-
CINE which it is asserted will cause a
revolution in all countries where steam
power is used. 1t is claimed for this
engine that it may be applied to all
purposes for which steam power is re-
quired, whether on land or on sea, and
that 1t consumes but one-flfth the coal
per horsepower that ordinary engines
consume. For example, it is declared
that q ship burning five hundred tons
of coal per day with the ordinary ma
rine engine would burn but one hun
dred tons with the new invention. 1t
is also claimed that the small relative
size of the engine Is a great advantage,
since it occupies but one-fifth the space
occupied by an ordinary marine en-
CINE, This also applies to bunker space,
but not to the boilers, which are Of the
usual dimensions.
Important, If true. The first steam
engine was revolutionary, and perhaps
the last one ought to be,

THE BUEI-Fi CITING 4 UTOUOBTLE.
Those who own automobiles know
that when they get meir dander up
they will fight anything from a trolley
car to an oak tree. So they will not
be surprised to read that the fact that
the automobile can be used with great
success in determining the courage of
young bulls intended for the bull ring
has been demonstrated by Pedro Fer
nandez Somellera on his San Isidro ha-
cienda in Mexico. The novel expert
ment was made few days ago with a
twenty-five horsepower car. The ex-
pertinent proved an exciting success.
Several of the young bulls charged the
machine at mad speed, and 1t was only
by clever driving that the car and its
occupants were kept clear of the horns
of the surprised and apparently indig-
nant animals.
As there is no Society for the Sup
preston Of Cruelty to Automobiles per-
haps we may yet see the buIl-fight
changed so as to bring the automobiles
into the bloody arena. A fight be-
tween a wild bull and wild automo-
bile would be well worth seeing.

his endorsement by the party machine
Of Ohio has a far reaching significance.
1t is all well enough for Senator For
aker to talk about the necessity for q
State convention to endorse before the
movement can be said to be under way.
AS a practical politician he knows that
the machine will see that the conven-
ton follows its leadership. The pride
of the State of Ohio will be found quite
sufficient to overcome the trivial OBJ
jectons of the two senator's from that
State. Ohio would rather undertake to
