The Fly Fight.

Keep right on killing! Let no ny live
that can be reached by a swatter or that
can be stuck on gummy sheet or caught
in trap. This Is now become work
of individuals. with every householder a
member Of the ant1-fiy organization. The
Star and the health department Of the
District government have demonstrated
two things, that the fly can be killed and
that the flies that are not killed are
dangerous to health. So 1t Is up to the
people Of Washington. now that a good
start has been made and the fly popula-
ton reduced materially. to continue the
good work for their own sakes until the
capital shall be free Of this pest
But to be free OF tho fly means more
than merely killing the insects that ap-
pear in the houses. Their breeding places
must be eliminated. All trash must be
destroyed so that there will be no damp
hatched. Every cellar and closet should
be secured two or three times during the
fy-breeding season. II the trash collect
or does not give good service notify the
health department. Make sure that there
Is nothing on your own premises that
will afford the fly a chance to multiply
A fiyless Washington is a practical pos
sib1lity and to make 1t SO calls for con-
tinuous endeavor and watchfulness. Re
member. the fly that is bred upon your
premises may carry disease elsewhere.
and similarly you are dependent in large
measure upon the thoroughness with
which your neighbors do their fly-killing
work. This is matter of mutually, and
consequently IL you know Of bad condi-
tons on other premises than your own it
is your duty not merely to the community
but to yourself to report them with a
view to their correction

The Street Peril.

The coroner's Jury in the case of a lit
tie child who was killed by a motor omni-
bus recommends that henceforth these
vehicles be equipped with tenders, and the
matter will be carried before the public
utilities commission for consideration.
Possibly a practicable fender will be
found to meet the requirements of this
particular sort of vehicle. though 1t seems
rather a difficult proposition.
The adoption Of tenders will not solve
the street safety problem. AS long as
children run in the streets and use them
as Fairgrounds. without care to avoid
the traffic. accidents will continue. fend-
ers or no tenders. The jury in this case
exonerates the motorman. who appar-
emily did everything in his power to
avoid striking the child. who darted sud
denly from behind another vehicle d.
rectly in front of tho one that ran over
him. This sort Of thing happens continu-
ally. though fortunately not always with
serious results.

American Rowers at Henley.

Some consolation for the recent de-
Feat of the American polo team by the
British players is gained from the
triumph of the American oarsmen at
henley Though the individual rowing
championship went to an Italian. the
British Fights were distanced by the
westerners in the trial heats. and the
snail race was rowed by two crews
rom the United States Harvard's vic
tory yesterday, therefore, was over
aother American crew, thus giving
is country the triumph doubly.
A. the seasons record now stands,
rgiand wins at golf and polo, and
1nerica wins in rowing. The supreme
ST of all international rivalries is to

aces which will be watched with
Jreathless interest by both nations
Had the Henley regatta gone to an
English crew. on top of the golf and
polo victories by English players, there
would indeed have been reason to feel
nat this Is British year, and that
me Americas cup would probably be
'ost- But now the feeling that the luck

tide has NO particular reason, and a
more hopeful view may be taken by
hose who regard these matters with a
lingo of superstition

Help for Salem!

The President asks Congress for an
appropriation of $4,000 for the Salem
fire sufferers and the Red Cross urges
public subscriptions for tho Same pur-
pose. 1t is evident that a serious need
exists in the stricken Massachusetts city.
and these two appeals will doubtless
evoke responses that will afford speedy
relief. The popular contributions through
the Red Cross should be generous. despite
the proposal Of a national appropriation.
That organization never asks for money
unless an urgent necessity exists. and the
givers of funds are assured Of a careful,
businesslike use of all the dollars intrust-
ed to 1t. Now that the full extent Of the
disaster Is known and acquisitions for
funds have come from such responsible
sources the distress at Salem will doubt
less be quickly relieved.

Roosevelt and Wilson.

A London throat specialist prescribed
a rest of four months for Mr.. Roosevelt
A New York specialist reduced the time
to six weeks. Naturally, Mr.. Roosevelt
prefers the latter prescription. He needs

Six weeks will reach nearly to Septem-
Der 1; and that date VIII bring adjourn
ment for Congress If present calculations
are not awry. And not until then shall we
know Just where the democratic party
stands on the trust question. When the
books show the new law or laws. both the
bull moosers and the republicans will be
able to shape their criticism fully on
what has been done under Mr.. Wilson S
leadership
The trust issue must necessarily be Mr..
Roosevelts paramount issue. He is weak
on the tariff issue. because while Presi-
lent he did nothing with the tariff. He
let the issue drift, and in doing so added
70 his party's tariff difficulties
He has never had a currency policy
and probably is not qualified TO discuss
the new currency law Moreover. the
law will not be fairly open to campaign
discussion until il has had trial.
The Colombian treaty has not been rati-
fed by the Senate. and is not likely to
be at this session. So that. AS campaign
material. the treaty may wait
But the trust issue is very much TO Mr..
Roosevelts campaign purpose He las
made speciality of that issue. II vas for
that he neglected the tariff issue while
occupying the White House He was very
much bent on "shackling" trust cunt
ming" and secured from Congress some
legislation to that end.
And then it is the trust issue that binds
Mr.. Roosevelt and George W Perkins to-
gether. How highly Mr.. Roosevelt values
M. Perkins as friend and political ally
has just been shown. He stood by him
even as against the assaults of other bull
saults must cease.
II Mr.. Wilson is to speak from the
stump-and there is hope he will in demo-
cratic bosoms-it cannot be until Con-
gress has adjourned. He would not care
to discuss the record in that way, piece

nothing but the record will be his text

mouth or by letter

Roosevelt and Mr. Wilson. The one will
appear with his voice in order. the other

campaign Each is the star and hope of
his party. 1t would not be possible to
arrange joint meetings for them, but
what each says about the other will be
of general and lively interest. September
