Hot Weather Drink.

Philip Hale, one of Boston's latter
day philosophers, recommends barley
water as a more sensible drink for hot
weather than 'ice-cold" blends of wa
tiers, sirups, acids, gulped at the mar
BILE fountains. Mr.. Hale's recipe for
his favorte tipple is as follows:
For three pints of water you will
require teacupful and a half of well
washed pearl barley, four Jumps OF
sugar and the thin rind and juice Of
one lemon. Pour boiling water over
it, cover with saucer and let it stand
till cold; then strain again and again
till clear, and pour into a jug"
A buttermilk fan adds:
Then set the jug in cool place
and forget it,

New Idea for Dressmakers.

A New York woman has inaugurated
a new departure. She sent word
to a number of dressmakers that she
had so many dresses to make, of such
and such materials, and so many 9TH
ers to be altered, and named the al
terations to be made and asked for
bids. She will probably accept the
lowest bid and this seems to open up
a new field in dressmaking. 1t will
also develop new variety of shrewd-
ness on the part of successful dress
makers-the ability to figure on bids.

" Criticises Roose-

(National News Association)

BOSTON, April 24.-Sharp criticism
OF the political principles OF Col. The
odore Roosevelt, although the former
president was not mentioned by name
fell from the lips of Franklin w.
Hobbs, president of the national asso-
citation Of cotton manufacturers in the
course of his address today before
the National convention Of the associa-
ton in Mechanics hall
Toward the end of his address the
associations president said: I'VE may
well pause a moment to consider some
phases of the way in which radicalism
has swept over the country. in fact /
may say over the world for it does not
seem to be limited to any country or
people. In our own country there has
been SO much talk and SO much denun-
citation of the established order of
things that one naturally begins to
wonder that IL after all this nation
and it's form of government are fail
ures.
$50 much has been said about the
| rule Of the people that we are almost
led to believe our rights have been
taken away from us. 1t Is claimed that
i we need new laws, new methods and
a general over-turning of old customs
1t seems to me, however, that we do
not need new laws nor more laws, we
do not need new methods nor quicker
methods of making laws, but that we
do need greater respect for the laws
already existing and armer belief in
the law and order itself.
1T is now claimed by some that the
people can never do wrong, and that
their opinion, often expressed under
stress Of excitement or swayed by the
misrepresentation of demagogueS
shall prevail regardless OF law and
that if the courts decide that such an
expression is illegal, so much the
worse for the courts, for it is now pro
posed to make the decisions of the
courts themselves amenable to popu-
lar clamor. If such things come to
pass, Of what value are the principles
of justice embodied in our common
laws for the protection of all and why
have written constitution sacredly
agreed to by the representatives of all
the people in order to safeguard the
rights of the minority as we'll as the
rights of those temporarily in the ma,
jority.
1T seems clear to me that as a re-
suit of this talk, criticisms and denun-
citation on the part Of politicians and
demagogues there has followed quite
naturally a growth of socialistic ideas
and socialism throughout the country.
The agitators have shown discomfort
and dissatisfaction and the country Is
reaping socialism and anarchy.
I believe it our duty to take heed
and to do our part to lead the people
back to their old moorings and to see
that care is restored in the leaders.
When that has been done we shall
have Industrial and political peace and
prosperity will be with us as before"

CAR JUMPED
TRACKS AND
BROKE POLE

A miraculous escape from serious
injury was experienced by about TWEEN
ty passengers on the west-bound limit
ed interurban which left the station
here at 11:40 o'clock this morning,
when the rear trucks jumped the track
at the foot Of the Main street hill, at
Fifth street. The rear end of the car
was thrown to the south, striking a
flfty-foot telephone pole, carrying long
distance cables and wires Of the city
light plant. The pole was cut off even
with the ground. !
In all probability II the rear end Of
and the pole, the car would have
swerved completely around and would
have tumbled down the river bank.
The passengers in the car were all
thrown from their seats although none
was injured.
The cause of the odd accident, 1t is
said, was railroad tie spike, which
had either been placed upon the track
by some person with malicious inten-
tions, or had been carelessly dropped
on the track. J One singular fact about
the accident was that the front trucks
of the interurban passed over the
spike, but remained on the rails.
The car was in charge of Charles
Bayers, motorman, and William Dud-
ing, conductor 1t is said that 1t was
not exceeding the speed limit. The car
was not damaged in the least by It's
collision with the street curbing and
the pole. .....
For some time traffic along the
West Main street car line was COM
plete1y tied up and passengers were
obliged to transfer from one interur
ban to another at the place of the acct
dent. The car was placed back on the
track about las o'clock.
Wires OF the city light plant and the
telephone company attached to the
broken pole were tangled and 1t will
not be until late this afternoon until
the wires are Strengthened out
