Street Noises.

The orders that have been issued to
the police to arrest those who make I'M
necessary noises early in the morning
ought to bring results and they should
be enforced strictly. There is no real
occasion for noises in the street before the
break Of day or in the morning twilight.
Most of the disturbance out Of doors is
caused by the thoughtlessness of people,
who do not remember that others are try
ing to sleep and who pass along the streets
singing and whistling and talking loudly
In the summertime windows are left
open and it is especially desirable to
keep the street noises at a minimum.
While the police are alert for noise
makers they might well attend to the
hucksters who, despite the regulations to
the contrary, are again crying their wares
and making a nuisance of themselves in
some parts of the city. The street noises
are Objectionable not only early in the
morning, but at other hours, and those
that are unnecessary should be sup
pressed.

The Star is delighted today to be en-
gagged in the distribution OF the prizes
which 1t offered some time ago to the
children who wrote the best essays on the
relation of the fly to the public health,
and it takes this occasion to compliment
the young writers of these papers on the
information which they displayed on this
subject and the earnestness which they
manifested in the course of their compo-
sitions. 1t has been evident from the
outset of the competition that the chill
dren were not merely seeking the finan-
cial rewards offered. but were sincerely
interested in the problem which is in
volved In the attack upon the flies.
Considerable ingenuity was demon
strated in the course of these papers,
showing that the children had been think
ing deeply on the subject. This alone is
more than a justification of the enter
prise The Stars interest in this matter
is TO arouse a proper sense Of public
apprehension of the fly and all 1t signi-
fies as a menace to health. 1t has sue
ceeded in enlisting the children in this
campaign. both as ny-killers and as stu
| dents. They are doing an invaluable
| work for the benefit OF every resident
of the capital, and the interest which
| they show now in this matter is certain
to make largely. for the health OF Wash.

as debater and as parliamentarian, he is
at home in the House.
And the speakership carries both Dig
nifty and power Shorn, as 1t has been,
of some of the influence that formerly
attached. 1t yet is a more desirable post
for man of Mr.. Ciark's talents and
training than any seat at the cabinet
table.
| But of course Mr. Clark has his eyes
fixed chiefly on the higher ONCE. He
wants to be President, and in that office
would be aided by his training in the
House. Mr. Mckinley was. He, too. had
been a legislator. and therefore as Presi-
Congress for the attainment of important
ends.
A complete democratic victory in Mo-
vember will call for thorough revision
of the tariff on revenue lines, for new
antitrust legislation of some KIND, Tor
currency reform Of some kind. for some
expression as to our future course re-
specting the Philippines, and other things
There will be work enough to employ
every man of capacity in the party; and
every man of capacity should be assigned
to duty according to his equipment.
In either the presidency or the speak
ership Mr.. Clark would represent the
democratic record and the democratic
purpose He has always been in line,
always a laborer, always a party philos-
opher, patient in defeat and encouraged
by success. He has done a good deal
toward shaping the matters that now
give the party hope. He led the House
fight against the Payne bill. and has pre-
sided over the proceedings taken to revise
certain schedules of the Payne revision.
All in all. he is, with one exception. the
foremost democrat now on the stage. Mr..
Bryan's supremacy is not disputed.

Mr.. Clark and the House.

Mr. Clark consults his party's as we'll
his own welfare by remaining in the
congressional calculation. If he captures
the Baltimore prize he can easily cancel
his plan for returning to the House. while
r ne loses 1t Baltimore the continuation
OF his services as a legislator will be
assured.
Let us suppose the Baltimore nominal
ton captured by another. and the nom
inee elected. Let us also suppose the
election OF a democratic Congress. For IL
the republicans are beaten In November
they are likely TO be beaten all along the
line.
In that event Mr.. Clark will be Speaker
again. and the very man for the place. A
large task viii devolye on the democracy.
\ Reputation by the people of the repub-
Hcan record will mean instructions for
much important legislation, and that will
call for experienced men at the congress
sional helm.
Mr.. Clark is such man. In his lone
service in the House he has had to dc
with many questions, and been leader
IN the settlement OF some. He both un-
derstands andrlikesrthe worirf AsslawYer

Wilbur Wright.

| For nearly three weeks the American
people have been reading from day to
| day bulletins regarding the illness of Will
| bur Wright at Dayton, Ohio. watching
i the course of his disease with an anxiety
which is rarely felt in the case even of
distinguished statesman, and hoping for
news of his recovery. At times the case
| has seemed hopeless and again he has
been reported as improving The disease is
a treacherous one. that raises false hopes
and again turns for the better at times
when no chance seems to remain. The
interest Of the public in Wilbur Wright is
of a remarkable character. His person
atty is but little known in the country.
and yet his name Is as familiar as that
of the chief executive. He is reckoned 81
one of the two pioneer birdmen, he and
his brother having been accepted not only
in this country, but elsewhere, as the first
| to solve the problem of human flight in
practice. Wilbur Wright has never failed
| to give full credit for the fundamentals
| of his knowledge of aeronautics and his
grasp of the laws of f1otation 10 those
who preceded him in the theoretical field
| of research. and particularly to Langley,
whose practical experiment was virtually
| successful. In one sense his great work
| of origination is finished and others are
at hand to carry it on But again 1t can
hardly be believed that the inventveness
which enabled these brothers to master
the difficulties which stood in the way of
actual human flight has been exhausted
by their achievements up to date Much
| remains to be done before the heavier
| than-air machine is perfected to the point
Of real commercial use, and without ques-
ton the American people have been lock-
Ing to the Wrights for this accomplish
ment. Should Wilbur Wright die there
will be deep sense of loss. tempered,
however, by the reflection that one of the
| brothers remains to carry on this epoch
| making work. These two men have CO.
operated with remarkable harmony dur
| ing all their experiments and perform
ances, and have afforded most inspiring
example of brotherly unity of purpose
and efficiency of action.

New Jersey.

New Jersey supports Mr.. Roosevelt.
There was a Taft Business Mems League,
but il did no business. There had been
trouble in several manufacturing centers
over wages. and the discontinued wage
earners turned to Mr.. Roosevelt. For the
rest. Mr.. Roosevelt, who Is master agi-
tator. drew the larger crowds, secured
their attention, and they went TO the
polls for him.
And vet he touched but lightly and
generally on the topic of most interest
10 New Jersey-the tariff. He declared
for protection, but only added that ne
wanted a larger share of the fruits of the
policy to go into the pay envelopes
He made no suggestions as to how that
might be accomplished. He proposed no
bill as a substitute for the Payne lava
measure. by the way, which was drawn
with New Jerseys interests in view, ana
which received the support of her sena-
tors and representatives in Congress.
Still. II is evident that the republicans
of New Jersey. for some reason or rea-
sons. favor the return of Mr. Roosevelt
TO the White House. They accept him as
able to remedy whatever wrongs they are
complaining Of Apparently they are de-
handing no particulars of him, but for
the present are content with his sweeping
charge that crooked business and crooked
bosses have the upper hand. and his de-
mand that they be overthrown.
The wind-up will be in South Dakota,
and this New Jersey result will be
utilized there in Mr.. Roosevelts behalf.
He will nit visit the state, but has ad-
dressed the voters in communication
adroitIy drawn. He sounds his new note
as TO reciprocity, which, he says, should
not bear heavily on the farmer. He did
not think at the time that the pact ne
gotiated by Mr.. Taft with Canada Of
Tended in that way; but the disclosure
does not embarrass him at all. In his
campaign of self-confidence and assertion
he brushes aside all of his contradictions
and tergiversations. and plunges along
swiftly and jauntily.
But he is not yet complete master OF the
Chicago situation. The fight is going on.
and his movements show that he realizes
difficulties between him and goal. He
has summoned the Illinois delegates
70 Oyster Bay for conference, and that
means. of course. discussion of plan or
controlling the convention Their loyalty
IN him is not questioned. What he prob
ably wants is their aid in increasing local
sentiment for him to that point where 1t
will affect the crowds in the streets and
the hotel loboies. and cooperate in
strong-arming business. That feature of
his program IS now developing. The at
tack on the national committee is so far
its leading manifestation

Weariness,

Oh, the man with the weary Arm lies
down
And welcomes the night that is sweet
with rest.
He faces the morrow without frown,
For his strength is greater with every
test.
And he pities the man who stands apart,
The man who strives with a weary Heart.
The man with the weary Mind goes out
Where the winds Of the forest lave and
cure.
He forsakes the tumult of scorn and
doubt,
To return with courage renewed and
sure.
But there's naught Of pleasure in field or
mart,
Alas, for the man with a weary Heart.
The man with the weary Arm may droop,
But his Heart will call him to strive
anew.
The man with the weary Mind may
stoop,
But his strength endures till his task is
through.
But Doving Nature and Cunning Art
Despair Of the man with weary Heart.

The Thanking of Rostron.

The House of Representatives should
promptly concur in the resolution
passed yesterday by the Senate, with
out reference to a committee and with
out debate. expressing the thanks OF
Congress to Capt. Rostron Of the
steamship Carpathia and providing for
the bestowal upon him of medal.
This is the most significant action
which Congress can take toward any
individual who has merited particular
commentator. 1t is especially justi-
fable in the case of Capt. Rostron,
whose course on the occasion of the
Titanic's wreck earned for him the
gratitude of the people of this country.
II is not necessary to contrast what
he did with what was not done by
others who were in a better position
than he TO render aid to the doomed
people on the giant liner. Nor is il in
the least degree derogatory to the
merit of his performance that ii was
but the natural action of a humane
man. When the great emergencies
arise and men meet them with the
spirit the instant decision and the I'M
selfish consideration that this naviga-
tor displayed when he learned that
the Titanic was in peril some specific
manifestation of public appreciation
hould follow, and IN this case ii could
take no better form than the in
frequently bestowed and highly sig
nifcant tender of the thanks of Con-
gress. Capt Rostron is not an American
citizen. though the people of this country
are proud on the basis of Their common
humanity that he sped so promptly to the
rescue and managed his difficult task SO
skillfully and discreetly. The conduct OF
.Rostron is one of the few bright spots
N an otherwise appallingly gloomy
situation. and il is gratifying that the
Senate has taken its earliest oppor-
tunity TO note IL appropriately

Profit in Fairgrounds.
From the Cleveland Leader.


If the arguments for municipal play
grounds We're wholly humanitarian they
ought to be deemed conclusive. If there
were nothing at stake but kindness,
mercy and responsibility for the welfare
of thousands of boys and girls. opposition
to the Fairgrounds would impeach the
conscience or the intelligence of those
standing in the way of such a forward
step by the sixth city. But it is not a
question of giving without return. 1t is
not an issue resting wholly on human
brotherhood and the obligation which
the men of today owe the men and
women of tomorrow. Cleveland will profit
in many ways by taking care Of the
wants and needs of the less fortunate of
its children.
