Hot-Weather Dress Reform.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
If the physicians who talk so sensibly
about the wisdom and the desira bility

cially for men. were also the dictators
of fashion and the arbiters of custom

hope of relief for sweltering urban dwell
ers and workers. The man who had the
courage 10 carry out some of their sug-
gestions and to appear on Chestnut

would be mobbed as surely as were the
unfortunates who dared to don a straw
hat before the conventionally appointed
date. There is another aspect of the
question, however. upon which the medi-
cal advocates of dress reform for men
do not touch. The expense Of such a
costume is prohibtive for the ma jority
Of city folk. In the inevitable conflict
between the desire for GOODNESS and COM
fort and the ability to pay the laundry
bills the stern logic of facts would in
most instances determine a return. for
the majority. to the old styles and to
the usual discomfort and suffering. OF
course. man would he better off morally
and physically if rational dress were the
rule, but the same may be said of him
In the larger relations OF life. To a
great extent the issue is reduced to a
matter of dollars and cents. with the
dollars and cents the minus quantity In
most cases.

Democratic HopefulnesS.

Chairman Corners of the democratic
state committee says of the situation in
New York:
It's too early to talk candidates,
There.ll he a bunch of them anyway
believe New York state will certainly go
democratic. We haven't had conditions
like these in years and you'll see plenty of
candidates for the nomination this time
mark my words"
1t IS fact that the number of candi-
dates is sign in politics When party
confidence and spirit are high candidates
are numerous. Aspiring men persuaded
that there is something of value in sight
are willing to try for it. and spend their
money canvassing FOR nominations On
the other hand. when party spirit is low
men have to be drafted to serve. Leading
A forlorn hope is an uninviting job, and
few politicians care for it.
What Mr.. Corners predicts for New
York has already been demonstrated in
Indiana and Ohio. In Indiana all o. the
places on the democratic state ticket
were contested for vigorously. with the
result that a strong ticket was nominated.
After years of defeat and dscoura cement
the Hoosier democrats are once more
hopeful and their best men are organ
izing for battle. No we'll informed repub-
lican is looking for anything but a hot
fight on the banks of the Wabash this
year.
In Ohio we have seen not only many
candidates. but nominations made which
prove democratic hopefulness in a high
degree. Under ordinary circumstances
Judge Harmon could not have been per-
suaded 10 accept a nomination tor gov
ernor. His time is valuable. and his
tastes are not strictly political. The
honor of mere nomination would have
appeared small to him But observing
party confidence all about him. and shar-
ing in the feeling himself, he was glad
enough TO head his party's ticket. and
should make an excellent race. He cannot
be defeated but by a united opposition
something that today does not exist. II
the Taft people and the Foraker people
do not speedily get together and then act
together Judge Harmon is likely to be the
next Governor of Ohio.
These things make probable what Mr.
Corners says of New York. And If what
he says Is verified by the event: if candi-
dates for the state offices prove to be nu
