THIS UNREASONABLE WEATHER.

The first half of May included the hottest and
the coldest May weather for many years; throughout
large part of the country, indeed, the records were
respectively the highest and the lowest ever made
Now comes June, with a similar demonstration OF
versatility. Snow and ice are reported from various
parts of the country that in normal conditions would
lust now be turning on the swelterscrew and getting
ready to brag that ''its possible to see the corn

happen in January and February, when it would have
been welcome. This immediate region would have

not the atmosphere been dry, and in motion
Altogether, this good year 1913 is an extraordi-
nary OCCASION meteorologcay, and guesses on crops
are dangerous and dubious. The monthly report
from the Department of Agriculture issued today,
is, on the whole, highly gratifying Nothing has
happened thus far that justifes any pessimism. If
the country lives up to present prospects, IN the face
of such abnormal weather conditions, then, indeed,
will there be complete vindication of the phoPhecy
of Secretary Wilson, who, few years ago, announced
that there was going to be another crop failure
or serious shortage; the countrys cropping interests
had become so diversified and the methods OF hand
ling them so greatly improved, that the equilibrium
would never be grayey disturbed again.
IL we can have summer all winter, winter half The

Fighting thereupon began between the

part of Europe.
Equally tiny sparks have kindled
many other conflagrations. The war be-

in 1854 arose through a fancied slight.
The King of Sweden discovered that In
a dispatch his name and title were fol-
lowed by only two let ceteras," where
as the name of the King of Poland had
three. A declaration of war was the
result.
More disastrous in its sequel was the

THE@EXES" OF THE LOBBY.

Former Senators and Congressman are telling

In discussing my letter that appeared

that is characteristic of the legal pro-
fession, generally.

ties would not apply the rule of rea-
son" in considering the instrument in
any other light.
A bond or mortgage Is a written evil
dence of debt containing pledge OF
faith and asserts that the debt will be
paid at a prescribed time.
If. when the bond or mortgage be-
happens then? Why, the holder of the
instrument, by legal process, recovers
by taking possession Of the assets that
were pledged for payment of the debt
at the time II was contracted.

The pathetic situation of Wall Street in the last

w the Turkish grand vizier TO
ratify a treaty by swearing
in the Moslem fashion upon his peard

This remark somehow offended the

COTTON MILL MORTALITY.

There could not fail to come shock to the public
from reading the mortality records in the great cotton
mills of the United States as set forth in carefully
prepared review and digest OF an elaborate Govern
ment report on the subject.
To those who realize that in the long run ma
ton must stand or fall by the condition of its women,
il cannot but be disturbing to know how the health
and life of the more than 10000 women employed
in American cotton mills are sacrificed.
After years of close investigation and study to get
at tte tu1-because the statistics of factories and
even of factory town officials were "doctored" to
ceal the truth-he Government has established these
grim facts: ...

Out Of every two cases of death among women
mill workers the cause of one will be tuberculosis
Women operatives die at rate 80 i-5 per cent
greater than the men.
Women workers in those factories so weaken OF
destroy their health that for them to marry and pear
children that one in every seven mothers must
die in childbirth ~.:.- ..~-.
The details of the Governments investigation
showing the astonishing results from that work-no'
only the high of tuberculosis death at childbirth
and mortality among infants, but other evils-make
list of shocking revelations.
We are all familiar with the bitter opposition
offered to the reappointment of former Commissioner
Nell of the Department of Labor for the work he had
done and was doing in getting at the ghastly truth
about mill conditions and in making that truth nown
to the world These later facts pitiful proof that
the Government ought to 60 on digging into all mill
conditions until at least of the dreadful results
on the health and life of workers-women workers
are modified, if they can't be entirely eliminated.

The Patronage Trust.

To the Editor of THE TINES:
The Washington Times, which is rec
ognized locally, IL not universally. for
its philanthropic and benevolent atti-
tude toward the workingman. should,
l think, in all justice, endeavor through
its valuable paper to enlighten the
minds OF Congress and arouse their in
terest in the worthy movement which
Is being promulgated by Congressman
Murray and Congressman Palmer in
the investigation of the patronage trust
which undoubtedly exists in Congress. .
1t is in every sense of the word a
trust, and l think obviously true thar
the entire patronage allotment is con-
trolled by no more than fifty membols.
This condition should be remedied ly
apportioning the patronage ratably
among all the individual members, Civ
ing to each member his pro rata share.
Many of the new members who have
received no recognition regarding Cap
itol patronage have endeavored 20 Sc
cure Capitol positions for their con-
stituents, but their efforts have all been
frustrated by that paramount obstacle
a combination Of inside pull. These new
members particularly should arouse
themselves u IeallZdtl0n or the
worthiness and Importance of this in
vestigation.
This condition is not the fault OF the
Congressman IN general, but is the re-
suit OF the avariCiousness of the seIec;
few who comprise the patronage trust.
The members should all earnestly CO.
operate IN endeavoring to overthrow
this job combine. as 1t will prove one
of The greatest achievements that the
Democratic party has So far accom-
pIished II will undoubtedly receive ,be
respect Of the Republicans and inspire
the Democratic following with greater
confidence. and will add to their ranks
many new and trusting followers who
have realized that equitable Justice Is
still to be had In a Democratic regime.
