Midsummer Food,

That dainty individual who, according
to his friends, does not eat enough to
keep a little bird alive is not so bad on
after all these hot days with the mercury
lowering around the hundred mark. The
man with a small appetite Is better or
than his brother of large capacity and
desire for food. His palate is more easily
satisfied with the relatively few foods
that are entirely wholesome at such
times. In fact. the human system needs
comparatively little food in midsummer.
Given abundance of moisture to supply
the losses through perspiration. the d.
eestive system is kept in excellent state
on very low rations. But moisture must
be supplied In judicious quantities and at
proper temperatures. Water just palata-
bly, cool is infinitely better than ice water.
Indeed, IL one can take it without dis
comfort, water drawn directly from the
tap after perhaps a few seconds running
Is the best drink to be had. There Is
no need Of sweetening or Of souring water.
There is no need of aerating 1t, while as
for alcoholic trimmings. they are alto

Monarchs in Meeting.

King Edward and Emperor William met
yesterday at Cronburg. Germany. not as
uncle and nephew. but as rulers of two
of the greatest countries in the world.
Their meeting was an affectionate one.
according to all reports. They embraced
and kissed and otherwise behaved after
the old-world fashion when long sepa-
rated friends come together. The spec
tacle was edifying apart from Its per-
sonal interest. 1t calls attention afresh
to the fact that there Is a frequent inter-
change of views between the European
rulers Scarce a month passes without
a royal visit. Now IT Is the emperor and
the car Again 1t is the President OF
France and the King Of England Next
it may be the car and the president.
The only meeting yet to occur is that be-
tween tha Emperor of Germany and the
President of France. When that en-
counter takes place it will be we'll worth
a trip across the Atlantic to be within
the range of the political vibrations
caused by it,
All these royal visits make for peace.
War may possibly occur despite them.
but as long as the feeling Of friendship
between the individual monarchs remains
unbroken the countries themselves cannot
drift very far apart Most wars are the
result of Misunderstanding. In the old
days before telegraphs and railroads, tel
ephones and automobiles it was quite
possible for rulers Of countries to con-
ceive intense antagonisms toward one
another. Nations fell upon each other
largely through the personal animosities
Of their sovereigns. The people themselves
had little or nothing to say regarding the
declaration Of hostilities. Nowadays con-
ditions are practically reversed. The SOW
ereigns are in close harmony and the
people are more often the arbiters of
national fates. Nevertheless, when the
rulers are In friendly relations national
MISUNDERSTANDING are unlikely. A coun-
try cannot very we'll work up an intense
feeling Of antagonism toward another in
the face of the spectacle Of their respective
sovereisns hugging and kissing in public.

Our Inadequate Jail.

The conditions at the District Jail are
SO bad that a report may be expected
from the newly created Jail commission,
comprised of Mr.. Edison, Justice STAFFORD
and Mr. La Dow in terms assuring cor
receive legislation next winter by Con-
eress. Indeed, the legislators last winter
needed no such demonstration of jail in
adequacy as that now afforded by the
warden's statements of overcroWdlng
and the makeshift provisions authorized
by the Department of Justice. 1t has
been known for years that the District
Jail was inadequate in size and In equip
ment that it was an obsolete institution,
suitable only as a place of temporary
detention, and that the District urgently
needed a penitentiary of such size and &C
commodations as to serve the last pur-
poses of a modern penal establishment.
Doubtless some critics of the District,
always eager for a chance to hold this
community up to scorn. will seize upon
this latest evidence of insufficient jail
accommodations as a sure proof that the
District is a lawless, immoral place. In
fact, no surprise need be expressed If the
figures of the Jail congestion are cited as
a token of the urgent need of a presi-
Dental commission to inquire into the
moral health of the District. The truth,
of course. is that the Jail is overcrowded.
not because there are unusually many
criminals here in the District but be-
cause the jail was outgrown years ago
by the enlarging population.
Apart from mere overcroWding, which
is a serious fault, the Jail is inadequate
in other respects. The prisoners have no
chance for outdoor exercise. The SAM
tary arrangements are abominably out of
date. The cell room is restricted and it
is necessary to feed the prisoners sep
arately. In fact, in not a single respect
is the District Jail today up to the mark
of modern pathological requirements. 1t
is inconceivable that Congress will per-
NIT such a condition to continue longer
than is necessary to prepare the plans
and procure the site for a new estab
lishment not merely replacing the old
Jail, but giving the District what it should
have had many years ago, penitentiary
institution of the highest type.

Fairgrounds.

A report just issued by the Fairgrounds
Association giving the attendance at the
local Fairgrounds during the last month

If Mr.. Bryan's speech of acceptance has
familiar ring it springs from the fact
that he has discussed all the questions
now before the country so frequently and
so fully. He has left himself nothing new
to say. And so we have from him brief
summary of things. with the promise of
Celebrations as the campaign proceeds.
He will write letter of acceptance. and
later take the stump, and through his
letter and speeches declare himself at
length afresh on the contentious of his
party in the campaign.
Mr.. Bryan quotes President Roosevelt
In support of the proposition that things
are sadly in need of mending, and Judge
Taft in support of the assertion that
things have taken that shape under re-
publican rule. The situation has developed
within the past ten years. Very well,
says Mr. Bryan. During all that time the
republican party has been in complete
control of the government. Whose, then. is
the responsibility? And shall the party
which has produced the distress be COM
missioned to correct it? He thinks not,
and promises that the democratic party is
equal to the emergency, and asks for a
trial.
We must wait, however, for particulars.
The precise measure of tariff reform, the
measure of additional trust legislation.
and the measure Of additional railroad
legislation are reserved for future treat
,ment. Mr.. Bryan gives his present space
to the popular election of senator's, to
publicity for campaign contributions, and
to the rules of the House of Representa-
tives. The first issue is not pressing, as
a workable substitute is now in opera
ton; the second issue has been met by
Judge Taft, while the third is a sort of
subterfuge. The democratic party twice
formally adopted and used the present
rules of the House, and would not mate
rally change them if it could.
The most important, and the only new,
deliverance in the speech is the promise
that if elected Mr.. Bryan will consider
himself bound by the Denver platfrom
both as to what 1t does and does not
promise. AS he puts 1t, AN official is not
at liberty to use the authority vested in
him to urge personal views which have
not been submitted to the voters for their
approval" Which Is to say that, il
elected. Mr.. Bryan will not use his Office
to promote free coinage of silver, the gov
eminent ownership of railroads. or the
adoption of the initiative and referendum,
none c. which issues was adopted at
Denver. This is a bid for the conserva-
tive vote. which in his two previous cam
paigns Mr.. Bryan lost. Will 1t win?
The speech is marked with Mr.. Bryan's
ease Of expression. but contains few strik-
ing lines. Probably the best one is this:
1.-THE democratic party seeks not revolu-
ton. but reformation" with an illustra-
tion, not original, but effectively en-
ployed.

situations have been benefited, how many
children have been kept out of vicious
surroundings by this opportunity to en-
gage in play. Certainly thousands upon
thousands of children have been kept OH
the streets daily as result. 1t is apso-
lutely certain that if they had not had
the Fairgrounds for their sports, ana
games some of them would have been
seriously hurt. some Of them even killed.
by street cars, wagons and automobiles
1t is a pitiful reflection that many chill
dren do not. know how to play and have
to be taught, but the fact remains. never
theless. Many city, children have been SO
envfroned for generations through their
ancestors that they have lost the natural
instinct Of wholesome recreation. II
needs but brief study of children in
large city to- demonstrate the truth that
many of them utterly lack an innate sense
of good behavior. Some of them are
viciously mischievous. Some are de-
struotive. Many. of them take keen de-
light in causing painful annoyance 10
others. All this, of course is directly the
result of bad home training, but 1ndl-
rectly it is because the city child has Tor
a long time been in large measure de-
prived of a fair chance to play naturally
and without trespassing upon the rights
of other people.

by we'll considered and Systematically

caps and disadvantages confronting II.
It's efforts should be encouraged by all
citizens with contributions and moral sup
port. But the great need of the city to-
day is some form Of stimulus to arouse

citation of their responsibilities and an I'M

Georgia.

Gov. Smith has decided to call the
Georgia legislature together in extra ses-
sion to deal, among other questions,
with the leasing of state convicts. No
question was ever more pressing on a
civilized commonwealth. The develop
ments of the investigation of the prison
pens in that state have been shock to
the public and disgrace to the officials
responsible. Conditions of barbarism
have existed for years. at the expense
even Of human life. All the convicts have
been worked inhumanly and overtime
and fed on rotten grub, while some have
been fiogged to death. The brutes in
charge were no respecters Of age. sex or
color. White and black, men and boys,
male and female, have felt the lash. and
some succumbed to it. A system admit
ting of such abuses should be abolished at
once.

The Farmer and His Dollar.
rom the New York Times.

The farmers are said to be disappoint-
ing the expectations of their democra tic
friend as to their contributions in aid of
his campaign in their behalf. 1t would be
odd If they should make a like response to
the overtures OF their republican friend.
No farmers are known to be asking any
body's favor in these golden days of agri-
culture. and nobody would have any pa
tience with them if they were. No class
is making a greater percentage of profit
or showing better appreciation of what
to do with money. The telephone and the
automobile, the rural free delivery and
the trolley. have reduced the inconven-
fences of residence in the country to the
vanishing point. and made the farmers
lot an enviable one. Yet the campaign is
enIivened by appeals in their behalf. 1t
is too thin" The farmer knows that he
is his own best friend, and needs no other,
and is not likely to have any other after
election.

Vegetables form the safest diet for THIS

contamination in the vegetables that are
eaten raw. This applies to lettuce USED

So you're anxious, young man, to go up
in the world;
You're looking for friendly advice:
You think that to see your own portrait
unfurled
When banners float forth would be nice!
There's serious question which you must
decide
When your bid to the public you make;
Ere the limelight presents you to view.
far and wide,
What kind of a pose will you take3
Will you seek to impress by your solemn
repose
Or to charm by your manner SO free?
Will you strive for long speeches that
make people doze
Or dazzle with swift repartee?
Will you sound the bazoo that is slum-
brous and slow,
Or the trump that keeps people awake.
You can't make start till you let the
world know
What kind of pose you will take.
Take warning. before your position you
choose
In the scene, full of hazard and strife:
You must wear the same whiskers and
Waistcoats and shoes
The rest of your natural life!
Let nothing your smile or your frown dis
arrange
When placing your future at stake:
1t is really strange how the public hates
change
What kind of a pose will you take?

Small as is the prospect Of war. it
would, of course. be foolish to make no
preparation for the unexpected. We shall

upon the citizen soldiery. and the militia

teal instruction in the beligerent arts.
If it should have to go into service it
would not be thoroughly trained, but it
would be very considerably trained and
would be ready Immediately to garrison
the Notifications, and it would need but
little training to make 1t as effective as
the regular force. Officers and men would
be prepared to be Immediately useful.
