People Tired of Sossisr1.

II the verdict OF the people Of Monroe
Is accepted as indication OF national senti-
nent both parties here agree that IL means
that the people are tired or present sys-
TENS of political leadership and control
In other words, 'bossism." Probably IL
means also that the results of recent
political graft Investigations, such as the
Aids case. will weaken the power OF the
present political bosses OF both parties,
even those who can point TO clean adminis-
tratiOns. \ popular verdict among those
who are unwilling TO accept without quail
i1cation either the Republican diagnosis
or the Democratic, is that the first lesson
OF Mr.. Havens's success and Mr.. Aldridges
overthrow IS that the people are dissatis-
fed with something, whatever this some
thing may be, and that they want
change.
Mr.. Havens's announcement to-day that
In no circumstances would he accept a re-
nomination caused some anxiety In Demo-
cratic circles. The Democratic leaders adj
nit that they Will have trouble in fading
another candidate as strong. Although Mr..
'Havens made his declaration without quail
hcation, some OF his friends still hope that
pressure brought TO bear on the new Con-
gresham when he reaches Washington
may induce him 10 change his mind.

begins to shine in his very best form the high
ways and byways of the capital.
As soon as Congress ad journs the city's pop
ulation will be decreased by some odd thou
sands of folk, and among the first to leave after
the lawmakers finish their deliberations will be
President Taft and his family. The President
will spend this summer again in Beverly, and
the summer colony at that place will include
many members of the diplomatic corps and Of
the social set from Washington.
The departure of the President will be the
signal for his cabinet officers and their assist
ants to scatter to their summer homes in differ
ent parts of the country. For many members of
Congress this summer does not promise to hold
very frequent opportunities for rest, because
scores of them will be strenuously occupied i'll
laying down the planks of the platforms over
which they hope to walk to continued represen-
tation of their constituents in the halls of the
national legislature.
One of the very considerable elements in
the composition of the army of summer travel
ers out of this city is brought from the lists Of
forty thousand in the District of Columbia.
Nearly all of these toilers for Uncle Sam ar
range to take their annual leave in the summer
time, and hundreds of them may be found dur
ing the months of June, July and August in the
resorts which are most popular among Wash
ingtonians. The commencement season, too.
has its bearing upon the summer travel, because
hundreds of families have delayed their de-
parture for the coast, the mountains or the lakes
until favorite sons and daughters have finished
their school courses and are ready to participate
in the joys of the playtime. That the popula-
tion of the city is diminishing rapidly because

of the approach of summer is particularly no
ticeable in the northwest residential section.
where scores of homes have their doorways and
windowsboarded for the summer. Many of the
larger of the apartment houses closely resemble
deserted villages, while the clubs and the halls
and corridors of the larger hotels are putting on
the air of summer quietness
In the business houses of the city the clerks
are beginning to take their annual vacations IN
turn, and there is scarcely store in which the
working force is not reduced on this account.
Each day the number of commuters on the SUBJ
urban lines increases and many Washington
business men are becoming regular passengers
on early morning and evening cars. City folks
in their holiday attire are met more and more
frequently on the farms and country roads near
the District, glad to be out of the city, even
though they may be only few miles away.
For the regular work-a-day army, to whom
real vacations are impossible, the nearby resorts
on the river and Chesapeake Beach and Co.
lonial Beach on the bay offer welcome recrea-
ton grounds for outings which must be taken
whenever. opportunity IS afforded tor few
hours away from the heat and dust of the city.
That the more prosperous classes are not the
only ones to leave the city~in the summer months
is evident from the decided diminution in the
numbers of those who make livelihood by at
tending to the wants of others. Thousands of
these folks have left the environs of the capital
and are seeking to combine recreation and bust
ness, and it is frequent and amusing expert
ence for Washingtonians to find at seaside and
mountain resorts the same walters, cab drivers,
chauffeurs and workers of all classes whom they
have known at home.

~ ESPITE the rainy weather which OBJ
y tanned for DAYS and weeks cOnt1nu-
ously in May and the early part OF
II the current month, the apparent IN
spiration for depression of the sum-
mer tourists spirit seemed to work by con-
traries, because the season is now fully at hand
when the rush for the seashOre and the noun
tains and the lakes is getting we'll under way.
Within another week or two every outgoing
train will carry extra coaches to accommodate
the summer resorters, and then for weeks the
railroad stations and the steamboat wharves
will bear every outward appearance of embat-
tied ramparts, with impregnable Notifications
built from trunks and travelling bags. For
many days the hay fever brigade and whole
bevies of fascinating summer girls have been
watching weather conditions, and with the real
opening of the heated term the exodus from the
cities will reach its height. And then only the
forlorn, forsaken and generally down-trodder
punches of grubbers after the wherewithal-the
laborers who dig and dig that the summer
sorters may continue to resort-wlll be left to
inhale the fragrant breezes which blow across
the sizzling asphalt.
At the present moment there is fair sprin-
king of Washingtonians in the different summer
resorts from the Thousand Islands and Canada
on the north, through New England, the Adiron-
dacks and the Catskills, along the shores of New
jersey in the mountains of PENNSYLVANIA, Vir.
gnia, West Virginia and Maryland, to the sum-
mer boarding houses in the immediate vicinity
of the District where the commuter Joins his

SUNDAY SCHOOL EXCURSION.
Solid Muldoons too Hard Nut for
Clawhammers to Crack.


The annual excursion OF the Methodist
and Baptist Sunday schools was held last
Wednesday, and about 400 took advantage
OF the opportunity for a sail down the
river to Newbury Neck. The vessel used
was the Nellie Grant, Capt. Bellatty, in
tow OF the tug Little Round Top, with
Capt. Holt at the wheel. The weather was
ideal for such an occasion, and there was
no accident to mar the enjoyment OF the
picnickers, everybody reporting good
time.
The feature OF the day was the baseball
game between the old-time rivals-th
Clawhammers and the Solid Muldoons.
The game was q disappointment to many,
more especially to the Clswhammers.
The Solid Muldoons seemed to be salts
fed with the result. The pitcher for the
latter team was Rev. o. G. Barnard, per-
haps the solidest Muldoon OF the team,
while Philip Mason took care OF every
thing that came over the home plate.
The battery for the Clawhammers were
Killam and SWEET, and before the game
was done they both swested.
The Clawhammers had the choice and
took the field, and then the Muldoons be-
gan their round OF the bases. The writer
does not know how many laps made a
mile. but it would have been interesting
to know how many miles were reeled
of by the Muldoons during that six
inning game. They piled up ten runs dur
ing the first inning, and kept up the fun
every time they had a chance.
In the meantime the Claw hammers
were doing the best that they could, only
it was not as good best as the other fell
lows best. When the game was finished
the official score-keeper, Roy c. Haines,
announced that the score was only 30 to
in favor of the Muldoons, and did so
without the culver of an eyelid. So it
must be so.
Perhaps the Claw hammers had better
change their name or their team before
they run up against such an all-star
aggregation as the Solid Muldoons again.
William Googins was the umpire, and
when last heard from, was doing as we'll
as could be expected. The prize, peck Of
peanuts, was rather widely distributed.
After this came the game between the
boys teams the Matches and the Tooth
picks. This was more evenly contested,
aud was won by the Toothpicks, Q to S..
The prize WAS one hundred suckers, leav-
ing each winner only eleven, and the
sound OF the sucker was soon heard in the
land.

The republicans of Ellsworth last

The republicans of Ellsworth last
Saturday renominated as a candidate
for representative to the legislature
Hon. John A. Peters. Mr.. Peters was
a member OF the last Legislature;
from the beginning of the session to
its close he was one OF its most con-
spicuous members, and proved him
self an able and useful legislator. II
elected-and there is little reason to
suppose that he will not be--he will
be candidate for speaker, with every
prospect of being chosen. An able
lawyer, just judge, successful
business man, intensely interested in
public affairs, an indefatigable
worker, Mr.. Peters is by nature and
training unusually well equipped for
such service as is needed at Augusta
during legislative session.

Water Aids Digestion

Medical investigators have reached the
conclusion that instead OF being harmful
to drink quantities OF water with meals, it
is distinctly beneficial. Recent expert
ments along this line are described in the
New York Medical Journal. The writer
says:
mot long ago it was almost the rule for
physicians to discourage the habit OF
drinking water except in minimum
amounts with meals, on the ground that
the gastric juice was thereby diluted and
that digestion was impaired and delayed.
This opinion is still held by many physi-
clans, and is the pet hobby OF a great
many diet cranks-p professional and anna
teur.
son the other hand, there have been
many who believed that an appetite as
at the time Of eating, an appetite seen in
so many animals as well as in man, was a
perfectly safe guide to trust, and that it
was obviously q provision OF nature to
supply water which was needed at this
time.
Recent experimental evidence seems to
confirm the latter view. The work OF Fos-
ter and Lambert has shown that water is a
distinct stimulant to the gastric mucosa,
and that instead OF the presence OF water
in the stomach resulting in diluted gas
trio juice, it, on the other hand, occasions
the secretion of juice Of higher concen-
tration than under ordinary circumstances.
"More recently Fowler and Hawk have
made study Of the metabolis influences
OF copious water drinking with meals. A
normal man, twenty-five years of age, was
studied for preliminary period and then
for period Of five days, during which he
drank three quarts Of water q day with
his meals. The result showed an increase
in weight of two pounds"
