Hot Weather Counsels.
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
No magic has been found for abolish
ing hot weather. But observance of a
few simple precautions will make hot
weather endurable.
These precautions can be stated very
briefly Eat less. hurry less, worry less,
wear less-and battle more.
Eat less. The body needs compare
lively little fuel in hot weather, and di-
gestive organs should be given a partial
rest.
Hurry less. Most wild rushing is need
less in any season. When the mercury
climbs above 80, needless hurry is a sin.
Worry less. Fretting and Tuning are
luxuries which should be reserved for the
winter months-and used sparingly then.
Wear less. Very young children, who
suffer most from hot waves, should be
reduced as near to the Edenc costume
as possible.
Battle more. In thiS great city, cold
water is always accessible. Where bath
ing facilities are scanty, a sponge will be
a great aid to comfort and health.
And swat flies. The great increase Of
sickness in hot weather Is due less to
temperature than to infection Of food and
drink; and flies are the worst agents of
infection.

The Commuter.

Oh, strange amphibian: never quite con-
tent;
Seeking to find a different element,
You make a plunge into the country
When you grow weary Of the city's
glare.
Then you plunge back and all exulting
say,
Il very nearly missed the train today!
My life is joyous. free and never slow
1 scarce arrive ere it is time to co.
AS evolution's story still is told,
What changes, gradual, yet great, un-
fold!
Your eye is piercing and a certain
shock
Goes through you every time you see
clock.
From carrying bundles. in your quest
of ease,
Your arms grow curved into paren-
theses.
And as you roam you vow you're free
from care,
Since life is something neither here nor
there.

A Republican Leaders Views.

Mr. Fairbanks on a visit west has
delivered several public addresses with
politics included in his list of sub
jects. At Omaha Monday night he
spoke of the future. and fouted the
suggestion that last years division
killed the republican party. He thinks
there is life in the old party yet. and
he expects TO see the organization
come back" in the near future. Evil
IDENTITY he is enlisted in the effort to
accomplish that result
Mr.. Fairbanks helped detach Indiana
from the democratic party and attach
it to the republican party, where 1t
remained some years. His reward was,
first a seat in the Senate, and then a
term as Vice President. In both offices
he made reputation as clear-headed
and conservative man. In fact, 1T was
that reputation which caused him to
he selected in 1904 as Mr.. Roosevelt's
companion on the republican national
ticket He was balanced as con-
servative against Mr.. Roosevelt rated
as radical: and an appeal was then
perfected for the support of both wings
of the party.
In the office of Vice President MIR.
Fairbanks did not change. He went
in and came out a conservative. There
was no break with Mr.. Roosevelt. But
the two men did not draw together,
and in 1908 Mr.. Roosevelt preferred
Mr.. Taft to Mr.. Fairbanks for the
leadership that he, Roosevelt, was Civ
ing up Had Mr.. Roosevelt supported
Mr. Fairbanks at Chicago that year,
the latter would have been nominated
and elected President.
Since 1908 Indiana has twice gone
democratic. Two republican senators
have given place to two democratic
senators. Mr.. Marshall on the strength
Vice President. A democrat has sue
ceeded Mr.. Marshall as governor.
When Mr.. Fairbanks speaks for har-
mony, therefore, he knows from the
lack of it at home just what the party
has lost and what is necessary to
restore the lost article. United, the
party in Indiana stood. Divided, it
fell. 1t is still divided, and while
that condition remains the democracy
will have no trouble retaining power.
Mr.. Fairbanks offers no plan of pro-
cedure looking to union. He reads
nobody out of the party, and would
probably laugh at any attempt to read
him out. He simply announces faith
in the essential soundness of the old
organization. and hope that it will
again become the dominant influence
In our national political life. The mes
sage from SO high a source is worthy
of attention.

The California Prosecutions.

The Presidents decision to push
promptly and vigorously the Diggs-
Caminetti and the Western Fuel cases
at San Francisco is to be heartily ap-
plauded as the wisest course to be
pursued. 1t is fortunate for him and for
his administration, and at the same time
for the public welfare, that this crisis
was precipitated and the issue raised at
the present time, instead of leaving mat
tiers to go over until the autumn, when a
decision to proceed with the trial of the
cases would have been too late to pre-
vent the feeling that improper influences
had been exerted to prevent the admins
tration of justice. Irrespective of the
merits of the personal controversy be
tween Attorney General McReynolds and
District Attorney McNab. 1t is best on all
accounts that these cases should be
pushed without delay and with all posi-
bic energy to a decision.

The Next Congressional Campaign,

Mr.. Lloyd of Missouri is succeeded by
Mr.. Doremus of Michigan as chairman of
the democratic congressional campaign
committee. The northwest did very well
by the democracy last year, and con-
tinuation Of favor is solicited in this Sc
lection. Mr.. Doremus is new to national
life but is a young man of capacity and
energy well vouched for by those who
know him.
His task is of great Importance and
many difficulties. The complexion of the
next Congress may foreshadow the COM
plexion Of the next presidency. A demo-
cratic victory will carry an Endorsement
Of both the new tariff and the new cur
rency legislation, and that will be. in eff
feet an Endorsement of Mr.. Wilson for a
second term; and If he lives he will be
renominated.
But a republican victory will throw the
democracy, in Congress and out, into con-
fusion, increase the efforts Of the repub-
licans and bull moosers to compose all
their troubles. and hearten all who pro-
fess and call themselves protectionists.
Mr.. Wilson, who is learning the game
rapidly, sees the point, and will be the
power behind Chairman Doremus all
through the fight. And he should be a
power, indeed He may not have as much
patronage in his sack then as now, but
he will have some, and with his growing
experience should know how to distribute
it where it will do the most good.
This arrangement will be new. Hereto
fore the congressional campaign chair
man has been both the titular and the
real head of things. He has been in a
large measure his own master and the
cutter-out Of the committee work. 1t was
the tallest feather in Mr.. Lloyd's cap that
after the disbursement of SO many de-
feats inflicted on his party under the
| leadership of others. he should have been
| able to organize and achieve victory, and
| then repeat the performance two years
later.
Now there is a change. Mr.. Doremus
in Mr. Lloyd's place will have help from
a most helpful quarter, and know where
to turn in hours Of peril. This will de-
prive him in case Of victory of the
amount of the credit that went to Mr..
Lloyd. but in case Of defeat it will lessen
the amount Of censure. In either case
Mr.. Wilson will share with him.
These preparations should engage the
most careful attention Of the republicans,
who should get into the game early and
in their best form.

andria might also run the risk or detec-
ton. But this possibility, while worthy
of consideration, should not operate to
prevent the legislation that unauestion-
ably will cut off the greater part OF the
pistol traffic In the District and cannot
fail to check crime and save lives.
This objection to the proposed prohibi-
ton of the sale save under permit Is
purely negative and does not actually
stand as an argument against it. In
fact, there is no sound reason why sucn
a law should not be passed. OF course,
legislation of this character would be
vigorously opposed by those whose bust
ness it is to sell weapons. 1t Is probable
that heretofore when the question has
been agitated these interests have be-
come active to prevent the passage of
such bill. That they will do so again,
with the question once more under dis.
cussion as a result of the shooting i'm
Judge Staffords court on Monday. is to
be expected. But opposition Of this kind
is not convincing. In fact, on the con-
trary, it is a good argument for the pas
sage of a protective regulation.
Nor is there reason for hesitation
about proceeding with this enactment on
the ground that the person wishing to
procure a pistol for a criminal purpose
might obtain "a permit to buy through
Misrepresentation. To be sure, there Is
such chance, but it is slender one.
The actually legitimate uses of a gun are
few and it would be a stupid and ineff1-
Gent official indeed who could be deceived
by man actually intending crime and
seeking a weapon for it's commission
through a false account of his purpose.
Furthermore, under the proper form or
legislation the applicant would be re-
quired to produce at least one witness as;
to character and thereby reinforce his
own petition and thus put upon record
the affirmation of a guarantor who would
be morally responsible for his subsequent
conduct.

Do Not Worry

People, as we'll as seeds, get too crowd
ed. One thing chokes out another in our
lives, and too often it is the best that gets
choked out. We are living SO fast, we
have so much to do, so many interests !!
AS some one, feeling the disadvantage Of
this hurry, said. 81 am in danger of being
iostled out of my spirituality" 1t is a
real danger, and one which threatens us
all in our rushing life in these days.
Cares, worries, distractions, seem to grow
in our hearts as naturally as weeds in a
garden.
Some people think worries quite harm
less, but Christ spoke very strongly
against them as most potent for evil in
our lives, in the way of crowding out the
good. He warned us strongly against all
anxiety. He said plainly that it can add
nothing to our stature, possessions or
success, but instead, does US harm and
grieves our Heavenly Father, who all the
while is caring for US.
There are two things, at last, about
which we should never worry. First,
the things we can't help. If we can't
help them, worrying is certainly most
foolish and useless. Secondly, the
things we can help. If we can help
them, let US SET about it, and not weaken
our powers by worry. Weed your gar
den. Pluck up the smallest roots of
worry Yes, watch for their first appear
ance about the ground, and pluck them
while they are small. Do not let them
get start, or they will crowd out all the
beautiful things that ought to grow in
your hearts.
"Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently
for him." and there will come strength,
a calm, sweetness of soul altogether de-
lightful.
