Hot Weather Discretion.

The hot spells that come in season
must be taken for granted. They Of
ten prove uncomfortable; but, as
rule. the extreme discomfort soon
passes. Perhaps it Is well, however,
not to be heroic, but give In d little
to the heat. These spells with cool
ness between do not seem to hurt us
much, yet that is no reason why we
should ignore the fact that extreme
heat has its dangers. During long
heated term man and beast are pros
trated by indiscreet activity. II a
long heated term can bring the strong
low, then a short heated term lis worth
guarding against.
In lands where hot weather reigns
for months the people arrange their
lives to meet 1t. Their habits may
serve as q guide for those who have
occasional hot spells to weather, some
times without warning. Loose and
light clothing is best for tropical
weather In all conditions. Food that
is light and easily digested is the only
safe kind, and one should not eat
heartily while fatigued or suffering
from heat. In general. everybody
should make haste slowly" In hot
weather. Heat alone will bring on
exhaustion. and IL the fatigue of la
Dor be added the victim is In extra
danger. Fresh air Is another help in
staving off the terrors Of the heated
term. In tropical lands the people live
all the time out Of doors. In this ell
mate, when the sun beats down fierce
", we should arrange to work, to eat,
to rest and to sleep where the breezes
blow If possible and at any rate where
there Is perfect ventilation. To bed
when sleepy, but not before. And
among all the rules of discretion the
one to observe first, last and always
is "go SLOW"

Vice Presidential STRENGTH.

Beginning with Lincoln in his first
campaign for the presidency, the can
udate for vice president In nearly ev-
Dry stirring election has brought
strength to his ticket BY virtue Of the
local significance OF the nomination.
Lincoln was comparatively unknown
In the east, but with Hannibal Ham
lin representing New England as a
running mate he gained strength
where strength was needed. Hamlin
was dropped In the campaign of 1864
for Andrew johnson Of Tennessee,
step that was afterward recognized as
political error. When Grant ran In
1868 he needed no aid at the polls,
but In the peculiar campaign Of 1872,
With the stalwart war Republican
Greeley at che head of the opposition
ticket, he really gained by. having
Henry Wilson Of Massachusetts In the
race with him.
In 1876 Thomas A. Hendricks of In
diana doubtless brought strength to
the Democratic ticket headed by Sam
mel ]. Tilden Of New York. and VIII
liam A. Wheeler of New York helped
the ticket headed by Hayes OF Ohio.
In the next election Chester A. Arthur,
minor politician of New York, was
credited with saving the electoral vote
of his state for Garfield. Hendricks
again aided the Democratic ticket in
1884. when it was headed by new
man in national politics, Grover Cleve-
land of New York. In 1888 the In
diana man at the head OF the Repub-
lican ticket, Benjamin Harrison,
newcomer In the field, was aided by
Levi p. Morton, who was simply
New Yorker, less prominent In poll
ties than Arthur. In 1892 Whitelaw
Reid Of New York. in the second place
On the ticket with Harrison. failed to
overcome the weight of Cleveland In
his own state, but In 1896 Mckinley
was undoubtedly helped in the middle
states by having Garrett A. Hobart Of
New Jersey on the ticket with him.
In 1900 again Mckinley was helped
by Roosevelt OF New York quite as
much on account of the state be rep
resented as on his personality, Roose-
yelt needed no help in 1904. four years
ago, and his opponent from the same
state, Judge Parker. was at least not
saved" by having Davis Of West vir-
ginia for running mate. The fore
going may help readers in their guess
es as to the probable effect of the NOM
nations for vice president this year.

The Everyday Shirt.

The London Lancet has decided that
microbes poison everything fit to eat
and to drink and the air we breathe
and. wanting new scare to throw at
it's readers, lays violent hand upon
the colored shirt. OF course the Ian
Get has in mind the fancy colored shirt
which dudes wear and change the
styles every year at least In order to
be up to date in dress. But the point
which the editor makes is that COL
ored shirt will be worn longer with
out washing than white shirt, be-
cause it will disguise the signs Of
wear longer than white garment and
in fact be worn until it becomes an
agent of disease for lack of intimacy
with the washtub.
When the microbe faddist gets on
the scent 1t is best to let him have his
fling. Perhaps the impecunious fell
lows about town sometimes affect the
colored shirt ON the score Of economy
in laundry bills. However, the col
ored shirt has found its popularity In
the fact that it will stand repeated
washing, and vigorous ones at that.
America knows something about col
ored shirts. It's pioneers wore them,
and that not for style nor to hide dirt,
but because they would ''wash well'
and last like the hickory which gave
them their name. The white shirt is
a sham unless 1t is starched, and then
It is uncomfortable for the man who
is active. It quickly shows damage
and disorder that have no relation to
healthfulness. and 1t has been dis
placed from mems wardrobes for n
variety of reasons based upon superb
GRITTY of the substitute. The chief
cause for the popularity Of the colored
shirt-fn this country at least-is that
it will take boilings and poundings
and rubbings that would soon destroy
white one and come out serviceable
and fresh looking even q second and
third season.

Motor Dangers In Great Britain.

Motor Dangers In Great Britain.
The record Of motor accidents and
prosecutions In CIR 1t Britain II April
of this year is instructive Compare
son with the record Of 1907 shows an
alarming increase OF accidents and
casualties. In 1907 there were fifty
eight accidents, resulting in the kill
ing of sixteen persons and the maim-
ing of twenty-eight others, during the
month OF April. This year the acct
dents jumped to seyenty-nine, while
the casualties numbered twenty-five
killed and forty-nine injured. Thus
the months casualties year ago were
forty-four In fifty-eight accidents and
this year seventy-four In seventy mine
accidents.
On the other hand. the prosecutions
this year were made with more vigor
and indicate that the British local au-
thorities are becoming concerned over
the increasing number Of accidents.
In April. 1907. there were 1853 cita-
lions before the courts and 141 con-
victions and this year for the same
month $40 citations leading to 291
convictions. Convictions for exceed
ing the speed limit were only seventy
four for the month In 1907 and 21S
this year. While motoring was inau-
gurated in France, the craze soon
spread across the channel, and If mo-
torists ever learn anything except at
the point Of the bayonet the Britons
should be well on the way to sane
motoring by this time and able to give
stthose crude Americans" points. Evil
IDENTIFY they cannot teach us anything
beyond the lesson we've already learned
that is. that stricter laws vigorously
enforced will be needed wherever the
motoring craze gets hold in order to
protect the public from dangers which
profit nobody. - :..-

NO QUESTION ABOUT THIS FALL

"Straws show which way the wind
blows" and the wind bent straws are
certainly, at this writing, pointing TO
the election of Mr.. Bryan in Novem-
boz.
When one stops to sum up the sit
uation In q conservative manner, and
from a disinterested standpoint, h S
election is simply a logical conc .u~ion
of the careful student of present con-
ditions.
Mr. Taft's candidacy is an exempli-
fication Of persistent and tenac. us
seeking for an office which in no way
sought the man, and his nomination
was actually and absolutely fore d on
a. party whose conservative and far
sighted members were not at all in
favor of it, and nine out of ten re-
publicans, if they will admit the fact,
will tell you that they are not at all
pleased with this mass of ponlercsi-
ty which the administration has forced
them to swallow.
MIR. Bryan's nomination, on the 9TH
er hand, came as the recognition Of
the American people Of his sterl ne
worth, bright intellect, fea less hon
esty and purity OF purpose He has
never once wavered in his advocacy
Of straight democratic pr;ncipl. S, and
any man with a head as big as pin
knows that straight democratic prin-
ciHles are the principles of the COM
mua people-the principles Of the
masses-as far removed from the
republican principles of the class s as
the planet Mars is from the Bar
Paws.
1t Is simply question OF adlpose
tissue and man whose party owns
him, body and soul, as against bra MS
and a man who is even greater than
his party.
The Herald predicts with all conf
dence that brains will win out In the
coming election.

ga Dollar q W0rd.ss

There is precedent for the rate Of
81 word for the articles which Presi-

describing his African experiences.
For a series of articles the price is
high, but more than that has often
been paid for poetry. Tennyson Ne

eral publishers brought 1t out stimuli
'taneously, each paying price COM
mensurate with Tennyson's fame, then
at zenith.
A couple of years ago $4,000 was
paid for $4,000 words from the pen Of
Disraeli, price which the publishers
exploited as phenomenal. For his
popular poem describing the joys Of
life In the country, Snow Bound, 2
Whittier received $4,000, the length
being something over 5000 words.
Byron received nearly a dollar word
for t'Childe Harold" which is about
10000 words In length. The small
volume Of Moore's Irish Melodies
yielded the author $4,000, almost S.
a word George Eliot was paid $780,
900 for single book, and Walter
Scott received $4,000 for his "Life
of Napoleon The sums paid to
Moore, Scott and George Eliot were
fortunes at the time. In the era Of
competition among writer's Of t'best
sellers" Hall Game has received $751;
600 In advance for one novel and Mrs
Humphrey Ward $4,000. These were
star rates paid for names attached to
works which might or might not pay
the publishers for the outlay. But
perhaps the best criterion for the
Roosevelt-Scribner deal is the venture
Of General q. s. Grants memoirs,
which Mark Twain's publishing house,
Charles T.. Webster & Co, engaged to
bring out shortly before Grants death.
This work numbers less than $4,000
words, and vet the estate received in

$350,O00, while the sales were still
brisk. Subsequent payments are be-
lieved to have raised the total to near
" $500,000. or considerably more than

dollar a word for Roosevelt's African
copy might be q capital bargain for the
publishers after all.

OF&aHlGeu RESCUE Work In Mines.
Since the terrible colliery explosions
OF the last couple OF years in Europe
and the United States public de-
mand has been awakened for some
kind of organized rescue work similar
to the life saving corps of the coasts
Recently Consul Blake Of Dunferm-
line, Scotland, reviewed the progress
for safer mining methods in England
and on the continent. In Austria,
France and Russia the provision Of
rescue apparatus by mine owners is
compulsory. In Germany it is option
nj. but has been voluntarily adopted.
In every colliery of Russia there must
be trained corps of rescuers equiva-
lent to per cent Of the miners en-
ployed.
Consul Blake reports that the Eng
lish are considering the question of
making rescue work compulsory, but
the authorities are undecided as to the
best methods. In fact, 1t Is conceded
that the apparatus for life saving
after explosions Is far from perfect.
One appliance is tube worn about
the chest, which regenerates the air
after it has been breathed, and it Is
said to be trustworthy for about two
hours. The tube is not adapted for
laborious exertion. and helmet oper-
ated on the principle Of the diving
helmet is preferred by miners engaged
in heavy work. The helmet is unsafe
for a distance over 200 yards from the
fresh air intake. The ideal apparatus
should be light in weight. air tight and
have capacity for dependable supply
of oxygen. So far all Of these fea-
lures are not claimed for any one ap-
paratus invented.
Second only in Importance to a per-
feet breathing apparatus for miners
buried by explosion is trained corps
of rescuers. In England and Scotland
rescue stations are being organized to
train Golfers in the work OF rescue.
It has been suggested by mine owners
that central rescue station be estab-
lished in every mining district and
equipped with sufficient apparatus
kept ready for use and that at least
five sets Of appliances be kept at each
colliery Of the district. The central
station will be In charge Of experts,
and each separate colliery will main
tain corps Of at least thirty trained
rescuers. who shall know every part
of the mine and understand the use of
the rescue appliances. Each colliery
will have telephone to the central
rescue station. AS men generally live
for q considerable time after an ex~
plosion, the use Of breathing appa-
ratus. If promptly set to work, may
aid in restoring ventilation and be the
means of saving life.

The Cost of Living Then and Now.
It is to be hoped that our legislators
and other gentlemen who meet to con
and rehearse maxims Of state from
time to time will pay due attention Co
the fluctuations in the wholesale
prices of the necessaries of our life
from 1890 to 1907. The figures have
just been issued by the department OF
commerce and labor, and it appears
that the average wholesale prices Of
25S staple commodities reached high
er level in 1907 than at any other time
during the eighteen year period COW
cred by the investigation. The aver
age for 1907 was 81 per cent higher
than for 1906, 44.4 per cent higher
than for 1897. the year OF lowest
prices for the period. and 29.5 per
cent higher than the average Cor the
decade from 1890 to 1899.
The articles considered in the iAves-
tigation are grouped under nine beads.
and all of the nine groups show an
increase in 1907 as compared with
1905. For farm products. taken as a
whole, the increase was 1919 per cent,
the highest percentage Of increase sn
the list The increase In fuel and
lighting was the lowest. being "a per
cent. Food increased 4.6 per cent
cloth and clothing Sc per cent. metals
and implements e. per cent, drugs
and chemicals s.3 per cent, house fur
nishing goods 6S per cent and mis-
cellaneous group S per cent. Among
the 25S articles considered thirty-five
showed no change in price between
1906 and 1907, and fifty:one showed q
decrease. 1t may be that some QUE
economic cause separate and distincS
from every other cause was respons1-
BILE for the rise Of 44.4 per cent In the
wholesale price Of necessary commoiM-
ties in ten years. IL this increase fa
for the general good, no one should

and it should be the province of states

the degree of gain and give the public
light on this vital problem.

Light on Cuban ARalrs.

During space OF fifty years before
he Spanish-American war put an end
10 Spanish rule In Cuba several Amer
tcan administrations were appealed 10
IN the one hand and urged On the 9TH
er to interfere in Cuba. Democratic!
and Republican presidents alike re-
fused to mix In, and the history ct
Cuba was one Of almost continual rev. /
olution on the part of the natives and
bf vigorous repression by the captain
generals sent out from Madrid to keep
order on the island. Finally Captain
General Weyler was installed ut Ha-
Eana, and his alleged barbaric meth
DDS Of treating rebels ended in pro.
lest from this country, followed, after
the blowing up Of the United States
battleship Maine in Havana harbor,
with declaration of war to put an
end to Spanish cruelties.
Perhaps the naked truth about the
sufferings of the Cubans at the hands
Of the Spanish soldiery has never
seached this country. We have learn
ed much through our own experience j
about the peculiar traits Of the Cuban
natives since we became involved tn
their affairs. Captain General Wey-
ler's personal memoirs are soon to be
published, and, as his proconsulship
in Cuba, during which he earned the
fgnominious title of Butcher WeY-
ler." was one of the history making
incidents Of his military career. he win
not be likely to gloss it over lightly Id
the pages of his book. Doubtless much /
falsehood about Weyler has gained
currency in this country. Weyler has
the reputation at home Of a fearless
soldier and an honest man. If he will
tell the truth about his rule in Cuba
1t will be interesting and possibly In
structive reading for the American
public. No one supposes that Cuba's
career has ceased to be eventfui, and
light upon the problem OF keeping or
der there should be welcome, even at
the hands of former Dictator Weyler.
