Hot Weather Common Sense.

Deaths from the heat are not due
alone to the excessive temperatures re-
ported from the cities where fatal pros
trations have occurred during this present
hot wave that has affected the northern
and middle sections of the country. The
heat itself seldom causes death save to
those who are compelled to work Wig
orously under the direct rays Of the sun.
from improper diet at a time when the
alimentary system is most sensitive to
arrangement. Those who are careful as
to the food and drink they take In mid
summer are rarely affected by the tenn
perature, however high 1t may rum On
the other hand, those who eat and drink
carelessIy and violate the rules of COM
mon sense are the sufferers from the
heat
Only a few rules suffice to cover the
field of precaution against midsummer
afflictions. These may be comprised as
follows:
Drink no stimulating liquors.
Drink little iced water, quenching the
thirst with water OF only a moderately
cool temperature.
Eat less meat than in winter. and eat
less In general Of all foods.
Wear light clothing and battle freely to
keep open the pores of the skin.
Avoid exertion in the sun.
Stop worrying about the heat. seek, the
shady places and think of how COMFORT

there are plenty OF trees and many parks.

1t must be borne in mind in connec-
ton with the lobby charges just made
that the Senate investigating commit
tee is about TO probe that they refer
to past transactions. They are of an
historical nature and may not have
any bearing whatever upon the tariff
situation as it exists today. When
President Wilson drew attention in
his statement to the existence of an
insidious lobby at Washington he re-
ferred TO the activities of those who
have been endeavoring to influence
Legislation at this time. Just how far
the operations alleged by Col Mulhall
affect the immediate framing of the
pending bill remains to be disclosed
The Senate committee and, il named.
the House committee of investigation
should determine whether it is worth
while at this time to go into these
matters of rather remote history when
the business of the session Is the
a currency bill
Yet, ultimately all this ground must
be covered. Each of the Mulhall
charges must be probed. Each man
named by him as beneficiary of the
Iiberality of the organization which he
represented must. if available. be given
his opportunity to clear himself. These
charges constitute a scandal of national
scope, and no matter whether they are
investigated now or later they must be
sifted TO the bottom so that the coun-
try may Judge as TO their truth and
rate accordingly those who are affect
cd by them.

Gettysburg.

The fraternizing of veterans of the
north and south at Gettysburg is an in
spring spectacle. Men who fifty years
ago were opposing one another desper-
ately are now shaking hands in the most
friendly spirit on the very field where
once their respective armies battled for
three days in a death grip upon which
depended the issue of the civil war; This
Is more than sentiment 1t Is a sub
stantial. wholesome object lesson Of gen.
uine reunion between the sections. Twen-
ty-five years ago ii would have been i'm
possible TO assemble a gathering of this
character on the field of Gettysburg or
any other one OF the great battle scenes
Now the semi-centennial Of the fight be-
tween Lee and Meade IL commemorated
not by the north alone but by the north
and south together. and In the presence
of thousands of men who were personally
present during those July days in 1858
when the titanic struggle was in progress
Gettysburg Is properly rated as one Of
The great battles OF all history. In point

ated. and 1t is probable that European
recognition of the Confederacy would
have followed. In point of physical ad-
vantage the defeat of Meade would have
been of incalculable benefit to the south.
1t is probable that Washington would
have fallen into the hands of the Con-
federates. assuming Lees ability to fol-
low up his conquest of his opponent with
a vigorous pursuit leading to his democrat
ization. 1t would have been impossible
to withdraw quickly any large force
from the Mississippi valley to aid in
checking Lee. Grant was held at Vicks-
burg by siege which was to end stimuli
taneously with the Gettysburg defeat. 1t
would have taken many weeks to trans
fer any considerable part of his army to
the east in shape to offer resistance to
the doubtlessly swelling Confederate
force. To meet the eastern condition it
would have been necessary to apply the
draft throughout the north more vigor-
ously than before, and already the con-
scriptions OF troops had severely strained
the loyalty of the people. A draft in
the face of defeat might have been more
successful than that which followed
Gettysburg. but this may be doubted.
Yet it is hardly possible that differ
ent result at Gettysburg would have led
ultimately to a different outcome of the
war. 1t might have prolonged the
struggle and involved the sacrifice of
many additional lives. But that 1t would
have led to a permanent separation OF
the Union cannot be believed. for it was
written that the Union should be pre-
served. and it was best for the south and
best for the country that the outcome at
Gettysburg was Union victory. 1t
would have been best Of all IL Meade
could have followed his advantage by
pursuing and capturing Lees army, thus
Fastening by perhaps year the final
surrender
Little is to be added to the record of
Gettysburg through the reunion now in
progress, and yet the assemblage of vet
Grams on the field is both appropriate and
valuable. The story will be retold wildly
for the benefit of the generations that
have followed the war and this retelling
will be in circumstances of good fellow
ship and unquestioned patriotism on the
part of both the blue and the gray now
mingling fraternally on the hallowed
ground of the country's greatest conflict.

Japan and America.

Professional agitators are busy in Japan
trying to create and organize anti-Ameri-
can sentiment based upon the California
episode. Wherever two or three of their
disgruntled countrymen gather together
they appear and harangue them on their
favorite topic. OF course they charge
that the government authorities are I'M
equal to the emergency, and they assert
that new men should be chosen for the
work
The agitator is found in all countries,
and is a breezy chap wherever found. He
travels light" as to facts. Just a snip
of fact often suits his purposes. With
that he can construct a theory and an
accusation terrible on their face, and cal
culated to set the groundlings in fever
of excitement.
We have him in this country. and more
than once in national affairs he has done
an enormous business on a small capital
His opportunities with us are unusual.

quently INDUCES In his liberties.
Fortunately. however, the anti-Ameri-
can aeitator in Japan and the anti-Jap-
anese agitator in America are wrestling
with a proposition at present beyond
their powers. The two countries are
thinking things over. Neither minimizes
the trouble in hand. Neither undertakes
the other. Both sincerely desire con-
tinuation of long friendship. Neither
doubts that a way out of existing en-
barrassments will be found satisfactory
to both. Both are working to that end.
Every day of delay and discussion
therefore is so much to the good The
agitator's whole hope Is in getting quick
action on his words. If the fit into which
he throws his audience does not spread,
If that audience itself cools off, his work
is in vain.
japanese sentiment about America and
American policies is not likely to be
formed on the street corners or in the
small halls of Toxic. Neither is the curb
stone fury of San Francisco safe guide
in appraising American purposes respect
ing the outside world. While representa-
tive and official Japan shows respect
for representative and official America
by negotiating for a clearer understand
ing as to treaty rights. and America well
comes the negotiations, wordy spouters
out of office are not to be greatly feared.
although their industry is unworthy, and
their activities are to be deplored by all
lovers of peace.

The New Excise Law.

Today a new law governing the sale
OF liquor In the District Of Columbia
goes into effect. 1t involves certain
material changes from the old system
of excise regulation, notably in the
establishment of additional zones of pro-
hibition, reducing the number OF licensed
places and providing more stringent
conditions in the dispensing OF drink
Under this new law no liquors can be
sold Sunday in any licensed place
and at the same time the hours of dis
pensing are heightened on week days
from midnight until 1 am But per-
haps the most radical change lies in
the establishment of an excise board
which Is charged with other func-
lions but is confined in its duty to the
enforcement of the act The President
has named the three members of this
board, but the nominations have not
vet been confirmed, and Furthermore no
funds have yet been provided for the
operations of the board, so that at the
present the law stands as In effect with
no administrative machinery for its en-
forcement. However. the police are
under the law charged with the duty OF
carrying out its provisions regardless of
the status of the excise board and cases
may be carried to court for violations
in the matter of sales after hours, sales
on Sunday or sales to persons barred
by the statute. That there will be no
material lapse Of authority is to be ex-
pected. as doubtless Congress will soon
act upon the nominations and will also
provide the deficiency appropriation
necessary to carry its enactment into
full effect.
This new excise law should be honest
~ observed and carefully enforced
Those who are in opposition to some OF
it's provisions should meet the situation
in a spirit of obedience to the statute
and not in revolt against what they may
consider a drastic narrowing OF their
personal rights. If in the execution OF
the law they feel that injustice is done
they should seek their remedy through
the agency of legislation. in amendment
of the law. The new excise board, what
ever may be it's composition. will be
looked to by the community to carry
out the plain intent of Congress in re-
spect TO the regulation of the liquor
traffic. putting that Interpretation upon
the statute that squares with the letter
and as far as can be ascertained the
spirit of the new system. Cooperation
between the police and the excise
authorities is to be expected confidently.
The new board has both more power
and more responsibility than its prede-
cessor. Penalties for violations of the
excise law are more severe than here
tofore The process of convicting those
who violate the law is more simple and
more likely to lead to punishments.
