MODERN FLOODS.


1t is not uncommon TO hear the re-
mark that violent storms are noe
frequent nowadays than in the past
and the occasional disasters like that
reported from western Pennsylvania
and the panhandle Of West Virg mia,
where many lives have been lost in
floods, seems to strengthen the AS
sertion. In point Of fact storms Of
that character are probably no more
frequent than heretofore. althoug b
their results may be moe destruc-
tive. The truth is that our national
thriftless ness has invited these mis-
fortunes and our habits Of wasteful
ness are to be blame for macy disas-
troUs weather visifations rather than
changes in the climate. The denud-
ing of the hills has undoubtedly con-
tributed to the food record in this
country. Immense volumes Of water
are poured down the slopes into the
the smaller streams and the rivers,
and As a result the channels are
On ckly flooded and are unable to
carry off the flow. This causes the
swift risings of the W aters in billy
regions that contribute to the record
of catastrophes. In all likelihood
the uuscientific cutting Of trees on
the hillsides Of the region just de-
vastated by storms Is acco untable for
the greater part of the loss. All
through that part of the country the
hills have he en- stripped bare Of trees

HAY FEVER.

That ailment beginning 10 August
and running until frost relieves its
victim is sort of perennial j1ke-to
all but the victim. 1t is caused by
one of three things central nerv-
Gus disorder, flying pollen and con-
sequent irritation of the nasal mem
branes or some abnormal condition
in the nose that can be corrected by
surgery. Experiment has demon
strated the possibility of cure in the
surgical instance; Their is relief in
temporary change of hsbitation in
case Of the flying pollen, but no
authority has yet reached the under
lying cause Of it all-the nervous
condition which is inherent and for
the consolation of victims is at,ribut-
ed to intellectually.
Inasmuch as hay fever is decided
ly disarranging and nationally epi-
demic afiiiction, consideration in all
It's phases ought to be serious. 1t is
related to asthma and is often very
painfully. The early days of fever
and headache are distressing, and to
the sensitive and apprehsnsive some
Of the pulmonary difficulties are Of
ten alarming. Unfortunately, it has
been spread broadcast that a local
anasthetic will bring relief, and it is
averred on competent authority that
this has led to the use of drugs. For
nation Of the drue habit coming as a
consequence, hay fever works its way
into the moral fibre of our people
But SO far as any authorities go, there
is at this stage comparatively little
development Of the drug habit.
When anything like hay fever, rose
fever, influenza, la grippe, asthma and
kindred ailments become epidemic
and nationally characteristic the G
eminent takes it up, investigates and
sends out bulletins. About as many
people read the bulletins as there are
regular subscribers to the Congress-
sional Record. The Western Hay
Fever Association has large lists Of
members who pay more postage on
reports Of experimental work, but af-
ter years of effoit accompanied by
the standing offer Of rich reward,
nothing definite has been accom-
plished. What can be done about
it?

PERSONALITIES.
one

In the course Of his long denial Of
the Penrose charges regarding the
Standard Oil contributions to the
campaign fund of 1904 Col. Roose-
welt quotes from the statement writ
ten on the 4th of November, 1904
replying to accusations brought by
Judge Parker, then candidate for the
presidency, in which the colonel
says:
II cannot understand how any
honorable man, the candidate for the
highest Office in the gift of the peo-
pie, can take refuge not merely in
personalities, but in such base and
unworthy personaIit es."
1t will be evident to any one who
has read Col. Roosevelt's frequent
verbal emissions during the past six
months that enlightenment has come
to him and that he can not only now
see what was hidden to him before,
but that in the matter of lndulging
in personalities he, a candidate for
the highest Office in the gift of the
people, has the entire field beaten to
a FRAGILE.

LABOR DAY.

Labor day is now an institution,
Fixed and permanent, ot high signi-
fcance and recognized by all classes
Of people as tribute to the men
whose skill contrib ties richly to the
wealth. Of the country. But it is
more than a holiday. a day of rest.
1t is a token Of the responsibilities
that belong to those WIN work with
their hands, whose toll is a coastruc-
tive factor in the American prosperi-
ty. As never before, labor has be-
come a distinct and concrete force. -
1t has been organized aud reorganiz-
ed and divided and subdivided until
an era of capitalization has come,
and it is important today to pause
to consider the influence that hes set
at work in this country to the end Of
really widening the gap between the
men who work and thos who play,
This influence is the comparatively
new organizat on styled the Industri-
al Workers Of the World.
Its a mischievous unsrutb, often
uttered, that there is essential hostili-
ty between capital and labor. In
deed, there is essential unity Of pur-
pose and aspiration between these
two factors in the industrial equation,
The fact that the history of labor is
constant succession of strikes and
struggles and conflicts does not prove
contrary. These encounters have
been caused by lack Of mutual APP
pre- siation of Independence and
have been evidence of a crudenes.
Of adjustment that it has been
difficult 10 supplant by more rational
methods. Much will have beer
westei, many lives and much treas
IRE, if out of these differences and
these encounters is not now evolving
a better mode of Determining iusi
rates Of compensation and fair ruIes
of employment. The new organiza
ton, however, which is today max
ing mighty effort to gain domi-
nance as the supreme power in the
labor world, works upon a contrary
principle. II is dangerously -ocialis-
tic, prociaiming the dogma that only
through cooperation eau labor pl os.
per and denouncing capital as an
offense against the Independence o.
man. Against such doctrines all
other labor organizations should now
strive earnestly to thu end of estab
fishing between the workers and thu
employers those relations that max,
for industrial peace and progress anG
prosperity.
This new and dangerous fore'
should be opposed, not merely fo
the sake OF the success of the Older
organizations Of labor, but for the
good Of the country at large. fol
which TIE labor unions should stant
pre-eminently and steadfastly in al
circumstances. Purging their rank
of dangerous elements, eschewing al
measures Of lawlessness, recognizing
heartily and unreservedly the princi.
Pile of mutual interests, these organi
cations should be today a bulwarE
against disorder, a guarantee of in
dustrial peace aud an assuraLce that
the evolution toward an ideal condi-
ton of understanding aud adjust
ment will not be checked.
