of Burleigh county, was born in An
napolis, Nova Scotia, September 10,
1867, where he resided until 1883, in
which year he came to the. city of

here ever since.
Mr.. Hea1y is a painter by trade and

with whom he did business. He was
elected to the office of county auditor
four years ago and has filled the po-
sition creditably, being especially
faithful in his duties and one of the
most efficient auditors of the state.
If reelected, there is no reason to
doubt that his next term will give
even better satisfaction than this one
has, as Mr.. Healy is a man who pro-
fits by experience, and the past years
have fitted him the better for the
years to come.
You win make no mistake in cast
ing your ballot for I. w. Healy for

The Olympic Games.

Little satisfaction Is to be felt over the
manner in which the Olympic games in
London were managed. II the theory Is
accepted that these contests are calculated
TO foster good feeling between the ma
lions represented The bitterness aroused
by the arbitrary actions of the committee
In charge, directed chiefly against the
American contestants, will last for years
unless allayed by some striking act of
reparation. The Ill feeling started at the
beginning when the British committee in
sisted upon system of drawings for the
preiiminaries which punched the American
contestants In such a manner as to lessen
their chances of winning in the finals
Again there was criticism over the ruling
that the American pole vaulters were not
to use pit for their pole as they are per-
mitted to do in this country. But these
incidents were of slight consequence COM
pared with the fragrant violation Of the
rules by the British tug of war team,
the members of which wore special boots
OF enormous size with steel bound heels.
Then came the disqualification of Car
penter in the iW-meter race without full
hearing of the circumstances. Fortunate
ly this series of unpleasant cUcum-
stances was saved from q sensational
climax In the case of the Marathon race.
Had not the protest against Durando been
granted when the Italian runner was
helped over the line by track officials the
indignation of the American people at the
treatment of their representatives would
have been boundIess. Fortunately this
crisis was avoided ard the meet came to
comparatively placid close.
Never again should the Olympic games

be managed by purely local committee.
The greatest care should be taken TO
prevent craftsmanship in the administration
of the meeting, and to insure to all con-
testants q square deal in accordance Win
the spirit Of the rules Had there been
a proper management at London there
would have been no serious trouble over
the 4OO-meter race. The spectacle or track
officials running out upon the course I'M
mediately after the race was finished
calling mo race, 10 race! before the
matter was referred to the referee should
never have been permitted. In any case
this contest should either have been run
over again with all the racers eligible or
upon the disqualification of Carpenter first
place should have been awarded to the
second man.
The American athletes return from Lon
don with proud record. They bore them
selves in a sportsmanlike manner through
out the meeting. and. the ruling in the
Carpenter case to the contrary notwith-
standing. in strict accordance with the
rules. That they were better men In
majority Of the events Is proved by the
records Even the London papers which
are most pronounced in their partisanship
grudgingly give them credit for greater
skill In all team work sports 1t is to be
hoped that the next Olympic games Will
be held In this country SO that the Eng
lish athletes may be given an opportunity
to compete here against their lately sue
cessful rivals In circumstances insuring
victory for the best men.

Round the World by Motor,

The New York-to-Paris automobile race
Is In the last stage. The German ear
which has been leading across Europe
has arrived at Paris. with the American
car about a thousand miles east of that
point. The German car. however. is not

The race across two continents has

Summer Outings for the Poor.

If every Washingtonian who has few
dollars over and above his necessities
could personally know of. the suffering
experienced in summer by the poorer resi-
dents because they cannot escape the
heat and discomfort of the city, there
would probably be little trouble about
maintaining the funds from which are
paid the expenses of the summer outing
camps. Unfortunately for this charitable
enterprise few of the well-to-do ever go
into the poorer quarters of the city. and
so have no opportunity to note the scenes
of sorrow there enacted. They cannot
knew of the infants who are perishing
for lack Of fresh air. good food and of
the mothers who are held In tortures by
the summer heat.
1t is estimated that at least 500 women
and children are given each two weeks In
the country as a result of the summer
outings enterprise of the local charitable
people The purpose of this work is to
build up the weaker members of the fami-
lies in the poorer regions so that they may
go through the winter safely. There is
an important sociological stake at issue.
The prime effort of the charity organiza-
ton worker Is to save the family from
u1SlntegratlOn. Many man VINO Is down
on his luck, out of job. possibly in the
thrall of bad habit, has been helped to
find himself again and to re-establish a
home by the aid of the summer outing
given to his wife and little ones. For
these fortnights spent at the camps pre-
vent sickness and save doctors bills and
bring courage and life to the household.
The summer outings work this year will
cost about $4,000. Not all of that amount
is In hand or in sight and the committee
in charge finds itself in need Of more
funds. In the degree that the response
to its appeal. is liberal it can continue on
the esta blished scale to provide for the
poor people at the camps, and can in ad-
dition give days outings to large numbers
and furnish car rides for the invaIids
who are in need of fresh air and diversion
from the city grind. All of this work Is
vitality important to the moral welfare of
Washington. and 1t Is not to be believed
that 1t will be hampered in any degree by
a lack of funds to carry it on at the
present rate. There should be enough
money in the treasury of this committee
to make it possible to give every worthy
mother in the District an outing with her
children under twelve years of age

The Fresh Air Cause,
From The Baltimore American.

From The Baltimore American.
There never has been a time In the his
tory of the great human family when so
many people as now were working for
the happiness Of some other people whom
they had never seen. The spirit of help
fulness-call it altruism or what you will
has never before been so general, so per-
severing or SO willingly self-sacrificing as
it is in this summer season Of 1905 This
is no mere haphazard statement-there is
abundant evidence to sustain the asser-
ton. The fresh-air benevolence to which
so many Baltimoreans are lending aid is
one Of the evidences referred to. What
is being done here in Baltimore to furnish
an outing to children and worn-out moth
ers is being repeated in scores of other
American cities. And with each succeed
ing year this generous impulse to give a
little touch of happiness and comfort to
others seems to grow and expand. 1t is
difficult to hold to the pessimistic view
that the world is not growing better when
attention is directed to all the cheerful
Eelpfulness which some people are giving
to other people.

Texas.

The village blacksmith did not win the
gubernatorial nomination in Texas. But,
all things considered, he ran a surprising
race. That parochial wiseacre Should
be able to poll over a hundred thousand
votes for the most important Office in a
great state against a man filling 1t with
some distinction testiies to an unusual
condition of things. Texas politics has
been seething for some years, and strange
policies and some strange men have been
thrown to the top. But there was a limit.
The people did not want for governor a
man who had acquired his craftsmanship
while shoeing. horses. and his personal
popularity by indulging in homely obser-
vations about those in authority.

Gossip however, has not waited for Mr..
Hearst to speak. Even before his de-

the New York mayoralty campaign and
the gubernatorial campaign that followed
It, and from the heavy drafts on his
purse This year. 1t was stated. he would
give way to lieutenant. and let the ex-
pense fall on the party.
Mr. Hearst's lieutenants are very loyal
to him but not one of them is appraised
as a national political figure. Probably
the one most widely known is John Tenn

From the New York Evening Post.

The silly season Of the campaign Is
we'll under way when space Is given to
the utterances of various obscure visitors
of the two presidential candidates. A
Texan sees Judge Taft. and assures him
that the republicans will sweep his state
i'm November. To offset this, Mr.. Bryan
obtains the assurance OF certain Pennsyl-
yania visitors that the old keystone COM
monwealth will be found next fall in the
democratic fold. In one of the letters Of
Junius the sage remark Is made to cer-
tain gentlemen that, while they may not
be able to be safe, they may at least cease
to be ridiculous. This advice is humbly
rendered TO the campaign managers.
