DUST IN THE AIR.

Without dust every blade or grass
and every branch of tree would drip
with moisture deposited by tho pass

wet and dripping, and umbrellas uso-
less. but our ,niserics would not end
there. The insides or our houses would

Wanted-A Strong opposition.

In government by parties the OPP
position has an extremely important
function. Its duty is TO criticize con-
Istruct1vely every measure proposed
by the administration, to the end
that no bill may be passed hur-
riedly or secretly; that the thought
behind the measure may be revealed
TO the people. Otherwise government
Is an absolutism, no matter what it
may call itself
As matters now stand in the
United States, we have at Washing
ton in the so-called opposition the
representatives of a party that is
busy mainly. if not exclusively, in
manufacturing ammunition to bring
that party into power as soon as may
be. Hence there is practically no
reasoned criticism. In its place we
have fault-finding. Even a hasty pc
rusal of the speeches In either House
will disclose that bills are opposed
merely because they arebrought for
ward by the administration. Gentle
men from whose mouths words slide
from an incXhaustible source talk for
hours, objecting TO bills whose faults
they do not disclose. There is prac-
tically no opposition, in the proper
sense; there is an aggregation Of
gentlemen who are "agin the govern
ment."
1t is not to be expected that any
party should be made up Of men like
Senator Root-such party would
not be out of power. But nothing
can be more eloquent Of the low
estate TO which the Republican party
has fallen than the spectacle its rep
rosentatives are now giving as gov
ernmental critics. When Senator
Root leaves. the administration will
have TO look to the best Republican
newspapers for anything worth the
name Of opposition party.
In his capacity for sticking the King
of Albania does not compare with a
