Needless Apprehension.
The New York Times

From the New York Times.
II one chooses to give way to ap-
prehension he has his chance now.
With the advent OF hot weather there
is such a batch of choice forebodings
as to make the life of a person like
Goldsmith's Mr. Croaker worth liv-
ing. The Japanese are going to seize
Hawaii and then occupy our Pacific
coast and destroy the Panama canal
All the nations Of the world are on
the verge of bankruptcy. The Amer
leans in Mexico are in danger of mas
sacre, though they persist in attend
ing to their daily routine OF business
as usual. A certain nun. who died
lately in Rome. had a vision Of yell
low men and black men throwing dice
for American girls In Central Park
not later than A. D. 1914. Plaques,
famines. earthquakes, disasters Of all
sorts, rarely happen as predicted.
There is some friction in the world to-
day. but not much more than there al
ways has been. People know more
than they used to Of what is going on
in other countries though when the
knowledge is intelligently applied 1t
does not cause apprehension, but the
reverse. While Germany and all the
other nations are hailing the man with
the mailed fist Of yesterday as the fore
most advocate of peace. we may well
be thankful for the blessings we have,
try to abate our few Affections by in
telligent effort, and command the croak-
ers to hold their peace.

While Ii is OF course, necessary for pur-
poses of science to await the production
OF corroborative records proving the &C
tual ascent of the main peak of Mount
Mckinley by Archdeacon Stuck and his
party, the character OF the explorer him
self must serve as a present guarantee
OF the genuineness of the claim. Ordi-
narily the announcement that an ex-
ploration party had reached the peak
would not be received with any reserva-
ton, but the unfortunate experience had
with DR.. Cook has laid a necessity of
confederation upon all venturers into the
difficult places of the world. Archdeacon
Stuck will naturally present his report of
the Mount Mckinley ascent in form for
the proper authorities, and there are
means, doubtless, of testing 1t to insure
its accuracy.
Mount Mckinley has for some years
been an object of keen desire on the part
of climbers of difficult places. 1t is the
highest point of the North American con-
tinent, its peak standing. according to the
data just received through DR.. Stuck s
preliminary report. o0.5OO feet above sea

Horses.

From the st. Louis Times
There are two seasons In the year
when the horse ought to be made the
subject Of special consideration One Of
these seasons is when the streets and
roads are bad as a result of frost and
sleet and snow. The other season Is now
approaching-is. perhaps. already here.
No animal is more susceptible to the in
f1uences of humidity and heat than the
horse If this statement be not wholly
accurate. it is made to appear so by the
fact that the horse cannot speak when
it Is "of its feed and Is. therefore, fire.

tasks when 1t ought really to be resting
and recuperating in it's stable. For this
reason, intelligent and humane men ought
to begin Immediately to see that the
standard load. which may be drawn with
comparative ease in temperate weather
Is somewhat diminished; that the inclines
en- route, from point to point, are avoided
as much as possible, and that drivers are
instructed to rest their stock from time
to time and to exert special care that the
horse gets enough to drink, taking the
whole day through, and not too much at
any one time-particularly when the ami

The Length of the Session.

\ new question is under discussion.
Now that Congress is getting into its
stride. why limit the session? Why re-
cess? Why not go right along, and run
the special into the regular session?
It is estimated that the tariff will be
before the Senate for at least two
months. Some experienced legislators
think it Impossible for the bill to reach
the President before September |
If the currency bill follows. that should
occupy the Senate for another two
months and maybe longer. 1t is certain
to cause a great deal of discussion before
the Senate receives it: and if its course
through the House should beget divisions.
the effect will show in the Senate.
IT, therefore. November I, or II. finds
Congress still in action, why a recess
for more than few days, for form s
sake?
Next year a new House and third of
the Senate must be chosen. and both
parties will want to begin Campag ning
early. a long session would interfere
with important plans. Adjournment not
later than June II would suit both
parties
But there will be a good deal of work
To do The appropriation bills will carry
many items leading to debate. some of
it for campaign purposes. Something in
the way of additional antitrust legisla-
ton may be proposed. And maybe after
awhile conservation-about which so
much is said and so little understood
Will be reached. An allowance of time,
too should be made for incidentals.
If the present session is to be pro-
course, have to change its present plans.
1t cannot afford TO dawdle during the
time the Senate is engaged on the cur
rency BILL as IL has been dawding since
Ii sent the tariff bill TO the Senate. 1t
will have to get busy on matters that
otherwise would have been left to the reg
ular session.
Still. while il is realized that short
session next year is advisable and that
q postponement of the currency question
until then would make that impossible,
there are advocates of postponement
They do not feel prepared to vote at this
time. or soon. and they doubt if Congress
as a whole is sufficiently informed to
handle the question advantageously to
the country at present
These are stirring times all around
Mr. Wilson is busy man, and all the
buster for the willingness of Congress to
proper responsibility.

Noises of the City.

A service to the community has been
rendered by the former president OF the
board of education, Rear Admiral George
w. Baird, L. S. n, retired. through his
generous offer of prizes to pupils of the
Normal School for the best essays on
unnecessary street noises. AS a result
OF this competition attention has been
conferred upon subject that should be
studied by municipal authorities and by
business men and citizens generally with
a view to making city life less clamorous
and more restful. The subject has been
admirably handled by the winner of the
competition, Miss Murray, whose essay
was printed in full in The Star last even
ing. Her analysis of city noises Is clear
and complete and this essay might well
be taken as the text of discussion in
Congress in an effort to evolve legislation
for the abatement of this urban null
sance But the lessening of city noise Is
largely a matter of individual endeavor
The users of the streets can accomplish
much toward the reduction OF noise. EN-
ployers of drivers can train their men
to keep their equipment in good order
and to lessen the emission of sound in it's
use. The greater part of the citys noise
volume, however, comes from the street
cars, which, being heavy and operating
OH metal tracks. are productive of the
loudest sounds and through rapid sched-
uling the most frequent Comparatively
little noise Is produced on streets without
car lines, and If way can be found to
lessen this clatter. which is to be rated in
the category of necessary noises, a boon
will be conferred upon humanity. With
the development of smooth pavements.
wagon traflc has become virtually noise
less. when the equipment is kept in
good order and is rightly used. while
save for the use OF warning horns
and bells motor cars can progress
with practically no sound. The cries Of
huclsstsrs are under the ban Of prohibi-
ton here. but the rule Is often violated,
this being an ftsm for police attsufion.

Rugs and Carpets will be clean
ed by us in the way they should
be. We thoroughly clean every
foot of a carpet or rug that is in
trusted to us, taking out all the
dust, dirt and any germs that may
be in them.
You can easily relieve yourself
of all responsibility regarding
your floor coverings throughout
the summer if you will let us at
tend to them. We will clean
and store them in a tireproof
warehouse, where moths and
other pests cannot harm them.
For this service we make only
a very nominal charge. and the
wearing quality and the looks of
the floor coverings will profit
greatly thereby.

wagon will call.
