THERE'LL BE NO DRoUTH, ANYHOW.

1t is not so many weeks since some people were
fussing about the Presidents delay in appointing
Board of Commissioners for this District. They
seemed impressed with the notion that the delay
might result in arophy of the local administration;
perhaps the ofceholders would quit working if they
didn't get change of venue pretty soon.
The President was not in the least moved by these
expressions He took his time, appointed Com
mssioners to please himself, and the government
at the District building still lives.
In the matter of the Excise Board the President
is likewise taking his time. 1t happens that for a
brief space there is excise law, with no Of
fetal establishment TO administer it; situation
fraught with tremendous theoretical embarrassment
and possibilities of But such difficulties always
look good deal worse when they are written down
as chaos" and anarchy" than when they are con-
sidered by people actually concerned. The liquor
dealers of this town are law-abiding set of men in
general. They have no intention of injuring their
own status under the law. They are doing their
level best as very general rule at least, to act
rightly.
And il is reassurng, particularly, to the critics
of the and of all other excise legislation to know
that there is not going to be an interim of drouth

THE OLD GODS COMING BACK?

Not so very long ago the Hon. Joseph Gurney
Cannon of DanvilIe ILL.,, published in weekly paper
an article entitled Followers After Strange Gods
1t need hardly be observed that it was political in
character and breathed conviction that the new po-
ltica order would be ephemeral, and that the older
and sane and safer deals of which Mr.. Cannon is the
prototype, would in due time be restored.
Winding up tariff speech on the House floor,
Leader Mann, of the Republicans, secured leave to
include this Cannon article in the extension" of
his remarks. Now the Record containing that article
Is being sent out in vast quantities to the Cannon dis
tict of Illinois, according to report from the Capitol.
Evidently the old gods are willing to do little
something by way of accelerating public opinion on
the subject of their recall.

THE BANKERS CONFERENCE.

Whatever its cause, however ill-founded and ig-
norant the public undoubtedly harbors suspicion
against the genus banker There has been marked
disncnation TO allow banking interests 10 dictate
the new currency bill; disincination to listen
to their advice. This is the time discuss the
reasonableness of such attitude. Rather there
is occasion for congratulatOn that, despite it, cur
rency bill has at last been framed which seems capa-
bic of adjustment to the needs of all.
In its broad principles the bill is satisfactory to
the bankers; its mperfeCtions of detail are reme-
diable. Its principles appeal to the public and the
public not sufficiently versed in banking techncal
ties to pass judgment on the details.
But there are two sides to the bill Nominally,
it is currency measure Practically, it is banking
bill When it comes TO the theory of finance and
money, we doubt whether the judgment of banker
engrossed in the details of his profession is any
Sounder than that Of the thoughtful man of any
other pursuit But he does know the Details he knows
what is and what is not workable And as the oper
alton of whatever currency system we have depends
upon the banker, any system under which he cannot
conduct his business safely and proftably is bound
to be failure.
The bankers conference in Chicago has, there
fore Clean-cut duty perform 1t must co-operate
with the Administration to make the bill strong and
practical. The danger is that because some of the
details are obviously faulty equally faulty perspective
may cause more or less condemnation of the bill in
toto. The such feeling prevails he worse off
we are all likely to be. The bill in its general tenor
is popular The public is strongly convinced that it
ought to be passed. The one way to open it to
harmful amendment would be for the bankers 20
array themselves against it sodly and thus strengthen
suspicion of selfshness in their motives. Ii is for
them to bend their energies to helpful constructive
criticism. The need of currency reform is undenied

nflame Mexico, and add to the difficulties of an al
ready surprisingly difficult situation 1t was an ut
terly impossible proposal unless its purpose was to
open the way to war by forcing Mexico to make the
formal declaration United States troops con
stabulary within the territory of friendly foreign
power is proposition that would not be dreamed of

would be invasion and occupation, to which Mexico

that sort of appeal excited public opinion to the point
that made war with Spain inevitable when the Maine

Summer Suggestions

n - need TO swat the fly II you fol-
nj low few simple rules Because
v there won't be any flies to swat.
No. l. Keep your rooms as
dark as possible. A good plan is to
open wide all windows and doors at
night and keep them tightly closed, and
the shades drawn all day. The cooled
night air will hold out surprisingly
we'll all day long.
.. Cover up everything catable be
tween meals. The bowl OF cut sugar
that YOU use on your table is one of the
greatest attraction for flies. Do not
leave 1t on the buffet In summer. Sweep
up any crumbs there may be in the
kitchen. Flies will gather II there is
jrrst the tiniest bit of food for them to
feed on.
} Any damp spots on the kitchen
table or the dish drain beside the
kitchen sink must be wiped dry. There
may be spots OF berry Juice or MIX
and the flies will surely find them.
E. II all these precautions are follow
ed and there are still few flies, hang a

MR.. BRYAN SIDESTEPS.

If the contestants for the executive authority in
New York expected to gain any advantage at this
stage of their controversy from quasi-tecognition
of one or the other by the Federal Government they
have been mised. Secretary Bryan neatly sidestep-
ped the issue while in nowise failing to maintain
proper attitude of the Federal Government.
Both Governor" Sulzer and Governor" Glynn
called upon the Department Of State to use its good
Offices with the British government to help New
York get Thaw back into its jurisdiction If the Sec
retary had acted the request of one and ignored
that of the other it would have been sort of recog
milton.
But, as in the cases of Huerta, Carranza, and "a
pata the Federal Government is playing no favorites

made the necessary request of the British ambassador
but he didn't make it in behalf of any particular gov
ernor or claimant to the governorship of New York

THE PENROSE RESOLUTION

When the Republicans were in power, Senators
Of that party an attitude of ami
able but plying superiority toward their Democratic
Confreres particularly with reference to foreign at
fairs and with proper attitude of mystery, to make
clear that members of the minority could not be Ire
sumed 10 understand permitted to ask too pointed
questions about such delicate subjects as foreign re-
latons. That was a speciality of Senator Lodge in
particular, who was frequently the Administration
spokesman in such matters.
AS between the policies that Mr. Lodge and Mr..
Penrose have pursued as 10 Mexico it must be said
that the Massachusetts, Senator is entitled to COM
mendation, and the Pennsylvania decidedly is not.
Mr.. Lodge, the theory that all Americans ought to
stand together at the back of the National Admins
tIation has informed himself and used his influence
and knowledge to help hold up the hands of an Ad-
ministraton that is trying hard TO get through diff
fcult crisis in creditable way, without breach of
the peace. He has spoken in behalf of calmness
and unanimiy just as he used TO do in the time when
Mr.. Roosevelt, and later Mr.. Taft, was President.
Senator Penrose, on the other hand, introduced
a resolution which, whatever its purpose, could have
no otheR effect than to embarrass the Administration,
