Hot Wave Is Still On.

Washington, ID. c., July 5. The hot
wave which has been sweeping over
the greater portion of the United
States for the past six days, and which
already has occasioned death toll of
probably thousand people in vari-
Gus parts of the country. shows no
abatement, and the weather man saws
he sees no hupe Tor any material
change within the next "A hours.
The wave has placed no favorities
it has been general, except in the
Ear West and the "Snnny South
which has not been visibly affected,
In Chicago, alone, more than $50
have died from the heat: in New York
the number is about the same. In
every city of any size in the New Eng
land States, the Middle Atlantic and
The Middle West none has failed to
furnish victims of the atrocions wealth
er.
From Vermont to Missouri the
CROPS are showing the effect of the
furnace like atmosphere which has
been upon them for days. In Missouri
there is drouth which if not soon
ended will kill the potato and oai
crops entirely.
TIE situation is the worst in the
history of the country so far as long
continued hot spell is concerned.

SENATOR MARION.

The following is an editorial from
the County News of Lexington. Va,
in reference to Senator Martin which
meets with our approval:
SIN another column will be found
an appreciasive article from the pen
of the Washington correspondent OF
the Baltimore Sun, re- alive to the
part played by Senator Martin OF
Virginia, in the overthrow of the re-
publican majority in the Senate Well
nesday of last week, in the vote on
Mr.. Cores resolution, calling on the
finance committee to report the wooden
tariff reduction bill. The estimate
OF the leadership of Senator Martin,
made by the Sun correspondent, is
fully borne out by examination OF the
Congressional Record, copy, of
which is on our table. His leader
ship may we'll excite pride through
out the state. Oce after another re
publican leader was bowled over by
his effective words, and every word
he uttered was worthy of the demo-
cratic leader. for i: was in the interest
of the masses for whom the demo-
cratic party stands forth at this
iuncture as the champion.
Martin got the floor after the first
attack on the Gore resolution had
been made by Senator Calling OF
the finance committee, on the ground
that this attempt to force the com
mittee to report the wollen bill by
July 10th was a discourtesy to the
committee. He knocked out the New
Hampshire Senator by this declara-
ton.
st appears to me that the essentials
OF the business life of this country are
eAtitled to some consideration and
ought not to be thrust aside by talk
about courtesy to committee"
This caused Senator Gallinger 30

the business interests. ''the interests

Mr.. Glass wants the Swanson seat
and that is about all there is to his
candidacy.
But will the people concede his
claims? We think not, for the reason
that if there is one man in all Virgin

works, has entitled himself, and just

ferment which an appreciative people

than Claude A. Swanson.

The Cruids.

The Druids were evidently of very
great antiquity. for there cannot be
much doubt that ii was one of their
customs that Virgil had in mind when
he wrote in the "Aeneid.' vi. l42. thai
the ''only means of access for living
mortal to the world of spirits was the
carrying of golden twig which grew
in dark and thick grove" The re.
semblance of the story to the Druidicai
rite Is perfect. The Dru.ds practleec
their rites in dark groves. If a mis-
tletoe was discovered growing upon
an oak priest severed it With knife
and festival was held under the tree
at which two milk white bulls were
offered as a sacrifice. This was sac
rifice to the sun god. and the mistletoe
from It's pale greenlsh yellow tint. was
regarded as kind of vegetable gold
and was accordingly looked upon as
being a fit offering to the sun.-New

Eorecastina the Weather.

OF all the scientific departments the
weather bureau was started with the
least amount of knowledge of its par
ticular subject. Independent observ-
ers had gathered small amount of
disassociated facts and based conclu-
sion as it suited them upon the facts.
But meteorology was very indefinite
thing, strongly fibered with bad guess
es, myths, traditions and theories. 1t
was like the German grammar OF
which Mark Twain complained. For
every page Of rules there were forty
pages of exceptions. When the wealth
er bureau was started it was with lit
tie worth while. 1t had to map out a
campaign of study, and there was no
way of telling how long 1t might be
before the study would permit of the
laying down Of rules. Every one
knows that the bureau Is far more eff
cient than it was. 1t is getting the
hang of the weather, learning its null
titudinous tricks, its coyness and
treachery. 1t is in the nature Of the
case a slow affair.-Toledo Blade.

The Right and the Wrong

way to sit while using a sewing machine IS
shown in the two photographs, top and bottom
of this advertisement.
These photographs are taken from actual life
and show at the top woman sitting The Right
Way at Standard Central Needle Machine,
new type of family sewing machine intelli-
gently designed to enable woman to sit in a
correct position while operating the machine,
without injury to her health.
In this machine the needle is central with the
worker, directly over the center of the treadle.
To use it calls for no undue strain on any part
of the body, permitting the operator to work
all day long without fatigue or running the risk
of permanent injury.
The photograph at the bottom of the advertise
ment shows woman sitting the way you sit at an
ordinary family sewing machine. This is the
Wrong Way but the only way you can sit.
The reason for this is the family sewing ma
chine as ordinarily constructed IS altogether
wrong. You cannot sit straight in your char
while operating your machine. Try it, sit
straight, and square as you should and see Il
you can sew on your machine. You can't.
The needle is 4 y inches from the centre where
it ought to be. To follow your work you have
TO twist your body to the left. This twist
calls for wrench and strain which means
fatigue and if continued, results disastrously in
Side Needle Spine.
Compare the two pictures, positions taken from
life, and decide for yourself which position you
would rather occupy when sewing.

ner, sewing machine construction generally and
why The Standard Central Sewing Machine

a most vigorous discussion ragged
about him, during which cool, able,

ances he we'll upheld the highest ira
dition of the senate and the interests
of the masses of the poodle. Pen
rose and Lodge. two of the ablest re-
publican leaders went down before his
thrusts Indeed following this dis
cussion the opinion is expressed that
Root must be made the republican
leader instead of Penrose. Before
closing his remarks Senator Martin
vigorously arraigned the finance COM
mittee, declaring that the. were but
servants of the Senate. "They," said
he, "usurped The power of master, but
I never recognized their right to act
as master of the Senate then, and do
not now"
The County News has taken little
part in the discussion over the ques-
ton of electing senator, which is to
be determined by the democratic pri
maries in September. Last fall it
said that its course would be deter

would be determined by its judgment

Looking over the field today and to
the commanding position Senator

manner he is using it to advance the
measures for the relief of the people
passed by the democrats in the lower

our demand That is that Martin is
the man to whom the people can with

not only fully regarded but most
furthered, and he should be reelected
to the Senate. His views are sourd

1t would be misfortune not only to

politicians have applied to him, are
fully recognized by the men with
WHOM he has long served in the Senate
