SUMMER
Author OF "At Good Old Siwash'
Copyright, 1912, by George MathewAdams.l

q UMMER began officially on the 22ds
but has been doing spring training
in sunstrokes and thirsts for almost
a month. 1t is that quarter of the year
in which the sun gets up early, takes a
position directly over the earth, and
shines on it for l6 hours with no time
of for meals.
The result IS so uncomfortable that
people frequently travel 5000 miles to
find a spot where the sun observes union
hours.
Summer comes in very gradually and
quietly like legislation in behalf of the
interests, but can be readily detected by
consulting the thermometer. If the mer-
curry registers 100 degrees and the paint
is peeling off, it IS perfectly safe to re-
move ones winter underwear. Even
those who have no thermometer and have
to depend on the icewater Instruments
used BY the government weather bureaus
can detect the arrival of summer by the
affeetionate and elammy manner in which
their clothes cling to them. When a
mans shoes seem filled to bursting with
hot. moist feet and his collar flops down
on his neck and begins to trieble down his
spine, he can feel perfectly safe in put
ting on a straw hat without offending the
calendar. Summer can also be dis
tinguished by the firm and dictatorial
manner in which a mans throat takes
him and leads him into a drug store or
a beer garden, even when he is in a great
hurry.
Summer lasts in prosperous localities
until the vacation money Is exhausted
and in working circles until father be-
gins to eat supper with his coat on 1t
is extremely beneficial to mankind, pro-
ducing more crops in a minute than win
ter could turn out in a century. But
like other medicine it is hard to take.
1t is especially hard on fat men. After
fat man has waded through two
months Of summer like a sprinkling cart,

18th the admission of West
M Virginia into the union. 40
w years ago, the curtain fell up
on the blacklist act that was ever
played upon the stage of our country's
history.
Sunset Cox, in his Three Decades
of Federal Legislation" calls II "one
of the whimsical excuses of the war.
Cox was noted for his humor, but il is
a mystery how even the funny man
of the house could have found anything
suggestive Of the whimsical" in a
crime so infamous as that of the par
tition of the "Old Dominion"
To their everlasting credit be it said
that Powell and Crittenden, of Ken
lucky, Conway, Of Kansas, and others,
did all that it was possible to do to
prevent the conSumma ton of the in
Equity, but they were borne down by
the iron will of ThaddeuS Stevens, the
Mephistopheles of American political
history, and the scoundrelly business
was pulled through.
On the final passage Of the bill Of
admission the ayes were SO, and the
noes SIS. There is something compli-
mentary to human nature in the fact
that there were 55 members of that
malodorous congress who were honor
able enough, and brave enough, to re-
buke by their votes the preparation Of
the foulest crime in the annals of the
republic.
1t was as high handed a piece Of vii
liany as was ever undertaken. The So
called ''Pierpont government" that
wanted recognition and admission for
the state of West Virginia" was a
bogus affair. 1t did not represent one
half of the voters in the 40 counties that
they called a state" AS the patriotic
Crittenden put it, the Pierpont cabal
could be called a government only by
a mere fiction"
Not only so, but there, staring them
in the face, was the first clause of the
third section of the constitution, which
read as follows: New states may be
admitted by the congress into the union
but no new state shall be formed or
erected within the jurisdiction Of any
other state"
In spite of that solemn mandate the
iconoclastic statesmen jauntly slapped
the constitution in the face and went
on with their mad business, laughing
at the supreme law of the land" as
they might have laughed at the twad-
die of an idiot
And upon what commonwealth were
