STORM FETCHES
RELIEF, CHANGES
DAY INTO NIGHT
Rain Ends Sweltering Day
Buildings Forced to Use
Lights.

Artificial light was found necessary
in all public buildings shortly after
o'clock this afternoon, when heavy
clouds rolled in from the southwest.
The storm was preceded by rum
blings of thunder like that of the
artillery of great army. For some
time the city was dark as night.
The storm had been predicted by
the weather bureau earlier in the
day, and the forecast of the observ-
ers asserted the storm would be fol-
lowed by cooler and generally fair
weather.
AT 1922 o'clock an alarm was sound
ed from Box 741 al Central avenue
and Norfolk street
Up to the time the storm came this
section was sweltering after three
days of probably the most oppressive
weather of the summer Up to this
afternoon the humidity had main
tanned an average of about so per
cent.
The storm brought a welcome
change in temperature, which dropped
many degrees.
At 1928 o'clock a second alarm of
fire was sounded. 1t was from box
541 at Chestnut and Pacific streets.
The humidity of the last few days
has been due IN a great measure TO
the prevalence of east winds. which
have driven the moisture in from the
sea.
The temperature at a. m. today
was 10 degrees. At o'clock the ther-
mometer registered 10, at s a. m. it
was rs. at 8 rs. at 10 81, at IL "a and
at noon Sc. At 1 o'clock it was IS, al
2 o'clock 81, and at o'clock 49, The
prevailing winds were from the
northwest, and maintained a velocity
of seven miles an hour.

F. \. GALLAGHER OF PHELPS
GONE TO HIS LONG REST

The village of Phelps was thrown
into profound sorrow Tuesday when
it was learned that one of its most
prominent citizens, f. Ell. Gallagher,
was dead. He left town Saturday,
seemingly in ordinary health to spend
few DAYS at John Jones' resort on
Lac Vieux Desert. but was taken ill
Sunday and grew steadily worse until
Tuesday, when at 1000 AN, he pass
ed away.
Francis Hugh Gallagher was born at
Orilla, Canada, forty-four years ago
and was married in 1898 to Miss Mary
Madden, who died in 1906, leaving two
sons, Huge and Cyril, IA and years
of age. Hugh was expected here in
two weeks to visit his father. Since
coming here years ago to act as
cashier and bookkeeper for the III. p.
p Co., Mr.. Gallagher had been closely
connected with everything in Phelps
of a business and social nature. He
had been town treasurer for several
years, was secretary of St. Mary'S
church which he was Instrumental in
securing the building of, director of
the choir and had charge of class in
Sunday School, manager of the base
ball team and at the head of every
thing intended to promote the gener-
al welfare of the village. He was a
member of K.C. Council at Amigo.
The mills were closed until $50 A. NJ,
Thursday TO allow his friends to at
tend the funeral services which were
held from St.Mary's Catholic church
conducted by FIR. Toplac. The remains
were accompanied TO Chicago by his
friend and brother Knight, PJ. Gaff-
ney, of Eagle River, and were to be
met there by brother from Grand |
Rapids, Mich, who will travel with I
them to Toronto, Can, where inter
ment will be made beside his wife.
An eloquent testimonial of the es-
beem in which he was held was shown
by the beautiful floral offerings laid
On his casket by the members of his
Sunday School class. Truly, Frank
Gallagher will be long mourned by the
people of Phelps.

CITY ATTORNEY, HOAN
OF NIL WAUKEE, SPOKE

D. w. Hoan, City Attorney, Of Mil
waukee, delivered speech at the OPP
era house Friday evening. The
meeting opened with few prelimin-
airy remarks by Frank w. Carter, up
on the political issues OF the day, af-
ter which he introduced '.Comrade''
Dan Hoan to his audience. An adj
mission feesOf Is cents was charged
which this writer cheerfully paid and
was afterwards glad he did although
it engaged in drumming up recruits
for that OF any other party, we should
let all the bars down and that small
sum may have kept some one away
who was in the right frame of mind
to be converted to the doctrine set
forth. Mr.. Hoan as might be expect
ed from any man big enough to Sc
cure reelection to an office in the
city of Milwaukee, is a good speaker
and held the close attention of his
hearers while explaining the princi-
pies of the Social Democracy and did
not advocate anything at all oppos ed
to the success of peaceful govern
ment. Briefly, their platform de-
mands government ownership and
control of railways, etc., all tending
to general Improvement of econo-
mic conditions, the successful opera
tion of the q. S. Post department. and
the later Parcels Post, being cited as
proof of its practicalibilty. Taken
all in all, that party have an argu-
ment that looks good to the lahoring
man everywhere and especially if
from any cause he has hard time to
make his income equal his outgo.
The old political parties were strong
ly censured though not any worse
than we've often heard them get
in many campaign from speakers
on the opposing sides. Although we
will never be voter of their ticket
as whole, until some parts of the
platform are modified so that the en-
| ployer of labor, is shown some cOnSid-
Grafton as well as the man he writes
a pay check for, nevertheless they
will be growing factor in American
politics in years to come and the men
or parties that refuse them recOgni-
tion are good deal like the ostrich
that is said to bury its head in the
sand to hide it's body from view.

''The governments report on winter wheat should have cheering effect on the business situation,' said Henry H. Hartman of Chicago.
 As winter wheat is the basis of prosperity in the west, it is good to know that it's condition at the pres- ent time is well above the average of the last 10 years. l have not the fig ures at hand but this seasons winter wheat Is much better than 1t was this time last year, and last years crop was large.
 '1n a few weeks from now we will be having crop reports from all parts of the country. Bumper corn and wheat crops in the west and fairly good cot ton prospects in the south will make business hum. l aA told that Ala bama's crop money last year was about S20O, ,OO0, ,000-a total double that of seven or eight years ago. Most of the southern states produced good crops and got good prices last year. If there is repetition in the south of last years production in cotton, corn, -bay and vegetables prosperity will continue in full swing. No wonder the south is getting rich fast

be offered to him, for pay, when on pleas ure bent. A Dublin magistrate, eoihs back to precedent a century old, uphoios the right to hiss play for its objection able moral tone.
 AS people collect in theatres rather Tor mutual pleasure than for the registration of individual differences of opinion, rounds of applause fall more pleasantly on the general ear than misses and groans. They also fall more agreeably on the ears Of the performers, owhom audible eneour- agement is real need and it's reverse serious impeachment. Yet a censorship, in one form or another, may well exist. The opponents of an official censorship declare that the public can police it's own morals and do 1t better than any deputed man or body of men. But if the right to hiss or "boo' be disallowed all notion of cen sorship lapses. The tame American way of suffering offenses in silence and of hop ing that the critics will damn the offender next day would then continue indefinitely

A Gsorgia Lady. Sentiment

"There is one good woman and a con- sistent prohibitionist that did not list en to the siren song of Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson in his race against MT. Underwood and that was my mother,'' said a we'll known citizen of Birming- ham yesterday "She resides about 15 miles from the nearest city over in Georgia and is strong against demon rum However, she is a constant read CT of The Age Herald, the Atlanta Con stitution and other well known papers, and is, therefore well informed as to the records of men in public life. She wrote me letter and requested that | convey personally to MT. Underwood her congratulations that he was elect ed She says that to have defeated MT Underwood would have been blow to the pride of nearly every person who ever lived in Alabama
 q assert modestly that when women lat the age of 63 or whereabouts are strong for the democratic leader even in the face of their disinclination to support anyone not avowed prohi- bitionist it is safe to believe that the electorate of Alabama did not make any mistake when the enormous vol ume of votes were piled up for Mir. Un- derwood."

GOOD FOR ALABAMA

From the Chicago Record Herald.
 Underwood is victor in the Alabama senatorial primary contest; and the peo- pie of the state are to be congratulated. Several issues were manufactured for the contest, but the real and only issue that was naturally before the voters was general fitness, intellectual and temperamental, for the office. Hobson has some attractive qualities, but it would be absurd to name him in the same class with Underwood whose abil- ity, tact and brilliant generalship in the House have won national recognition not only from democrats but from po- litical opponents as well.
 On the Panama tolls question Under wood has gone astray, but while his arguments have been strangely un- sound, his honesty, restraint and in- dependence have been cheerfully &C., knowledged His experience in Con gress has been of a kind and amount to insure him a conspicuous position In our Upper chamber" Hobson would have cut a very poor figure there, and the state could hardly have looked for ward to solid or distinguished service. The south has kept good men in Con gress for long periods and has been well represented. Underwood will make an excellent senator of the moderately progressive type. He Is not man of tricks, stratagems and spells, and he is too self-respecting to play to packed galleries
 Alabama has gone through nasty and bitter fight, but her choice is vindicaton of sobriety and good sense. Perhaps senatorial candidates else where will learn certain lessons from the Alabama contest. One is that men representing the people and paid by them should stick to their posts and earn their salaries even while seeking promotion.

The Cause of Education

The Alabama Educational associa- tion, which began it's annual conven- tion here yesterday, is splendid body. The men and women who compose it are earnest and progressive. All the distinguished educators of the state are members of the association and many of them are here to participate in the proceedings.
 Teachers and college instructors are not as we'll paid perhaps as the aver age professional man. School work is exacting and since the standards of education are being all the while raised there is an increasing demand for young men and women not only of brains and culture but of real stam- ina and large measure of consecra- tion. Alabama teachers are, as rule, endowed with all these qualities.
 If the educator is, in many cases, underpaid, there is compensation in the very consciousness of the high calling in which he or she is engaged and the far-reaching good that comes from all honest pedagogical efforts.
 There is wonderful inspiration in any great gathering of teachers, and this annual meeting of the Alabama Educational association is sure to be fruitful of broad practical results.

Why Germany Is Resentful

While not demonstrative in her an tagonism to the Monroe doctrine there is confessedly no nation that so de- terminedly resents the policy as does Germany and it is equally certain that her recognition in the United States of formidable trade rival is respon- sible for the spirit of resentment
 It was long contended by German authorities that our high tariff con stituted a stumbling block in the path of their country in her race with the United States, but recent figures rela- tive to the comparative trade of the two nations under the new tariff must cause those authorities to seek an other cause for Germany's outstrip- ping
 Germany has enjoyed an increase of her exports to the United States in only two of her products and they are cOllllllOuilito tiut NSiS ppt oiiohe ly affected by the tariff. They are toys upon which the old 35 per cent duty was left undisturbed, and colored pic lures. including postal cards, the in crease of which has been phenomenal and for which no adequate reason can be assigned.
 On the other hand our machinery exported to Germany represents 40 per cent of all the machinery entering that country and is greater than that received from any other nation. In re- turn she sends us but 1.5 per cent of her machinery exports. The sale of American harvesting machines in the Kaiser's realm for 1913 advanced SC per cent over that of the previous year and the increase in sewing machines represented a similar percentage. Our cold storage methods have greatly augmented the volume of our exports of evaporated apples and

SHALL OUR MEN DRESS BETTER.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 A great French dressmaker or milliner -or somebody of equally incredible alti- tude and consequence-has just gone back to Paris after firing a Parthian arrow prompted by the aspect of the last high grade American crowd she saw-the one promenading on Fifth avenue The women, in dress and general effect, were all they ought to be. The men were not; in costume and bearing they seemed scarcely fit company for the elegant and brilliant creatures they escorted
 An old question: Madame should know that the women to whom she refers-from the point of view she herself has taken are doing the living, and that the men are merely providing the means of living. Women are the billboards of success, the delegates of luxury. Perhaps in time American men will come to participate directly on their own account in metro- politan social life, doing their half as successfully as the striking young males who ornament the boulevards Of Madames s Paris. That would bring galns, doubtless, but it would bring losses even greater We should have more peram- bulating works of art, but France would write fewer books and essays on Anglo Saxon superiority
