High Mercury.

The snow picture printed in The Star
yesterday afternoon carried its lesson
that should be learned by every dweller
In hot city in midsummer. When
the thermometer goes up into the nineties,
keep away from it. Forget it. Think
about cooling things, about the SHOWS of
yester year. the winds of March. Try
to remember the days that are gone-and
happily gone as far as your comfort is
concerned. 1t is much more wholesome
when the atmosphere is sizzling to dwell
upon cooling subjects than to NOPE and
brood over the heat of today. The mind
has great deal to do with the comfort of
the body, and it Is possible without being
a psychic to project ones mental self in
midsummer into the realm of comparative
frigidity. OF course If you dwell upon
thermometers and soft asphalt and other
disagreeable themes you can get no
vibrations that will help you to stand the
heat. The man who asks you if it is hot
enough is more than a mythical nuisance
He is worse than a bore. He is a posi-
tive, aggressive factor for discomfort and
even for a dangerous state of mind He
brings you back to the palpitating pres
ent with q jerk that disarranges your
philosophy and upsets your equilibrium
The thing to do, OF course, Is to ignore
him. But he is a persistent chap, omni-
present and unsnubbable.
Hot weather "donts" are easy to pre-
scribe. and they should be easy to follow
Yet they are ignored so often that habit
seems stronger than common sense. For
example, take the matter of running for
q street car. There is not one case In a
thousand where It is actually necessary

Preston Accents.

Some doubt seems to have fingered in
the minds of the socialist labor delegates,
who in New York the othef night nomi-
mated Martin Preston. the Nevada con-
Wet for the Office of President of the
United States. There appears to have
been question whether he would prove
as valiantly Indifferent to the Constitu-
tion as his sponsors In fact, there was
some fear lest he might decline the honor
thus thrust upon him. This fear. how
ever was unwarranted. Mr.. Preston will
cheerfully run for the presidency as Wig
orously as the limits of his present oc-
cupation Of breaking stones under state
surveillance will permit.
In discussing the nomination of Mr..
Preston at a ratification meeting held in
New York, Mr.. Daniel DeLeon, whose
zeal warrants his engagement in q more
hopeful cause, INDUCED in q bit Of pro-
phecy. always permissible in campaign
years. He said:
II elected he will be liberated and seated
in the White House. In Europe 1t has
been the custom when men in jail are
elected to Office to iberate them at once,
and undoubtedly the same rule will pre-
vail in this country. But should he be de-
prived of his seat, If elected, they will
not be able to unseat our candidate for
Vice President. Donald L. Munro, and the
latter. the moment he will take his seat
as President in the place of Preston, will
At once put his signature giving life and
liberty to our honored standard bearer
Inasmuch as the socialist vote is fairly
sure to be split this year between the re-
firing Mr.. Preston and the unaggressive
Mr. Debs, who has been nominated by
another wing of that political organiza-
ZION. there seems to be no immediate
prospect that the delectable event fore
Swallowed by Mr.. DeLeon will actually
occur In any case it will be interest
ing to know how the President Of the
United States, although elected upon so
unconstitutional a platform as that of
the Preston-Munro party. will be able to
pardon "A man convicted in one of the
states under the state laws. And even
should he manage by some hook or crook
now unknown to pardoning powers to lib
crate his friend from the Nevada Jail. lust
how he will relinquish the presidential Of
iice 10 the newly emerged citizen after
having himself assumed 1t, remains a
problem. But then the whole case is a
biz of midsummer mystery.

High-Pressure Fire Service.

few days ago test of New York's
new high-pressure fire service in the down.
town district was held, with the result
of demonstrating that fire engines have
approached their decline in areas of con-
gestion. Enormous volumes of water
were thrown great distances direct from
The hydrants supplied from high-po
pumps. and it was made evident that the
fire quenching capacity OF the depart
meni had been greatly increased. Not
only will il be possible to concentrate a
heavier volume of water upon the flames
than with steamers in use, but the new
system permits a swifter attack upon the
FIRE. The light hose reels can be sent
through the streets more quickly than
The steamers, and there Is less chance of
accidents and delay with the moving ap-
paratus reduced by One-half Further
more. the water pumped thus upon the
fire is taken direct from the rivers, and
Inc extinguishment of a blaze involves no
drain upon the city's supply of drink
ing water.
All of these considerations apply Ia the
local situation. II is estimated that for
$4,000 il will he possible to establish

Another Start for the Pole.

From the Baltimore American.
Fer the ninth time Commodore Peory
starts on hunt for the north pole.
There will be universal admiration for
his courage and perseverance. but there
is no longer any great degree Of general
interest manifested in polar expeditions.
Even the purely scientific interest in
these expeditions is not SO lively as 1t
was twenty-five or thirty years ago. The
scientific inquiry of the day has more
regard to usefulness of results than ever
before in the general history and prog
ress of scientific investigation. 1t is diff
ficult to conceive that the actual reach

termed the north pole" If it is ever
accomplished will be of practical benefit
to humankind. 1t is extremely doubtful
whether the actual discovery Of the pole
will assist in the working out of any
of the great physical problems of the
earth that are yet unsolved. 1t will
doubtless be source of national pride
to reflect, in case Peary at last succeeds,
that the American flag, and not some
other flag, floats from staff planted at
one of the axial extremities Of this whirl-
ing globe.

BRYAN and New York.

New York has been the source and
inspiration of the whole anti-Bryan cam
paign. New York newspapers ana Ne"
York politicians have for full Twelve
months been Iecturins the south ana the
west on the subject of their devotion 10
Mr. Bryan. Those sections have been
told in all varieties of speech that the
Nebraskan should be deposed and new
leader chosen. No more Bryan no more
defeat. Another try with Bryan, ana
another defeat certain Let US New
York has said in substance" rise to the
emergency, not only as respects GOOD
policies but other things. Let us return
to the intellectual days of the democracy
II has been noisy and arrogant appeal
and now what do We find? The democracy
is assembled in national convention. and
what is New Yorks status in that body?
The chairman of her delegation, the
most potent force in her councils there.
the man with whom the south and the
west are invited to confer as to party
duty and a return to the intellectual days,
is Charles F. Murphy. After all the
labor, behold a mouse. The guide
10 party principles Is a man who never
read book on politics or craftsmanship
in all his days. The leader of the Empire
state in the demoeracy's grand council
could not for his life frame with tongue
or pen deliverance on any subject which
would pass muster with educated persons.
At best and most he is an ex-bar-
keeper thrifty in his money ways. and a
manipulation of men of his own grade.
Mr.. Bryan must be enjoying beyond
measure this feature of his triumph. He
may not be a wise man, but certainly he
is an intellectual one. His company is
of the best. At home he stands for good
things, socially and otherwise. There is
no time or chapter in his career which
needs veil or an apology.
If il is admitted that the democracy is in
a bad way can it be admitted that the
remedy is with New York? II Organism
should go, should Murphyism take its
place. Has the local organization which
in thirty years has passed from Tilden
and John Kelly TO "Fingy'' Corners and
Charles F. Murphy any claims to consid-
GRAFTON as an uplifting influence in ma
tional affairs Does even New York take
such ground?
New York's opposition, with Wall street
as the financier and Tammany the handy
man. has been worth a good deal to Mr..
Bryan. Thousands Of voters love him
for that enemy he has made.

to hurry on a hot day to catch q particu-

hand rail that comes within reach is so
strong that even with the Thermometer at

Many case of heat prostration may be
traced to this form of intemperance.
Most of the others are attributable to
other midsummer follies. such as drink
