An "oH Season."
portland Expressly


AS early as last June retired sea
captain who has made hobby of
studying the weather called the turn
On this summer without miss up to
the present time. The weather we
have had since June l has been pre-
cisely the sort of weather he said we
would have. 1t was in June that he
claimed there would be no really set
tied weather until after August II.
1t certainly looks as if he had in
creased his prestige as weather pro-
phet. Those who have vacations
coming to them after August II are
evidently to be congratulated for few
Of us doubt that when this beastly
weather does change we shall have
many weeks of sunshine. Even now,
however. fair weather would be too
late to save the seashore resorts from
what is undeniably an off season"
A record breaking August would
help out, Of course, but unless hot,
sunshiny weather comes Immediately
and remains, this will prove disas-
trOus summer to hundreds of resort
prOprietors who made preparations
for an unusually busy tourist season
because of the conditions in Europe.
Many careful students of the bust
ness affairs of the country have made
the claim that even with favorable
weather since June this would have
been a light summer for tourist trav-
ell in Maine, outside Of Bar Harbor,
Poland Spring and few, rather FASH
ionable and wealthy resorts. The I'M
settled business conditions. they be-
lieve, are what is keeping folks at
home. The war has affected many
American industries and manufac-
lures: the Democratic tariff law is re.
spOnsible for others operating on
curtailed time or shutting down al
together. Everywhere there is a feel
ing Of uncertainty and everywhere.
outside of the actually wealthy class
es, people are saving their money and
not spending it in vacations as they
usually do. Vacations are taken. to
be sure, but they are taken near
home in modest manner. Indeed.
considering everything, it does seem
very likely that there are many other
causes than the weather. conspirins

Why rs Unpopular.

If the Democrats want to know why
the Wilson administration Is unpopular
with the business men Of the country.
they should center their gaze for a min
ute or two on the announcement OF the
Pacafic Mail Steamship company that 1t
will discontinue It's Oriental sailings the
latter part Of this year. The reason?
The seamen's act, passed by Demo
cratic Congress and signed by Demo-
cratic President.
No American. whether he is a bust

shipping, but there must be something

Such a striking complaint against

wholly for political purposes and

products Some Of the farmers and

would buy the cheap products of for

demand for the expenditure of money
where you make it," just consider it's
meaning if applied to national affairs.
Substitute country" for "commun-

Are You Helpless in the Water?

A parent may decide in the negative
when a son or daughter wishes to
learn to swim, but the parent cannot
fix in that child's mind a verdict that
will justify the parental lack Of fore
sight, when confronted by a situation
that threatens drowning.
A parent may refuse to allow a
child the attainment of confidence
when in the water on the plea that
$50 many children partly learn to
swim under instruction and are later
drowned because Of taking chances"
But that parent can hardly defend the
argument first, because of the num-
Der drowned while daring the water
without proper instruction.
Uncle Cyrus Cobb would not allow
his boys to go to the stream to learn
to swim or even to fish, because so
many good swimmers are drowned"
He defended his position by saying
that he had lived nearly so years and
never could swim stroke, and he
didn't intend to go on any canoe trips
or ocean voyages. One day while on
the way to mill with a load of corn
to be ground, his horse became fright
ened, backed off a bridge and Uncle
Cobb drowned in six feet of water.

him on either side.
Quite probably Uncle Cobb's father
leges when a boy. Now the question
is, did Uncle Cobbs father drown
him?
Let's put it another way: Suppose
you refused your boy permission to
learn the art of swimming and next
summer he should fall off wharf and
drown because lacking the slightest
knowledge of what to do in the water
wouldn't you feel self-condemned?
Oh, there are just a few million
more than a hundred arguments, good
and bad, for and against swimming,
but can you justify the claim that any
useful accomplishment, whether ap-
piled or not, is a detriment?

plation of tragedy in every days

pleasure, business, or errand of mercy.
"All saved but one who could not keep
afoat until assistance reached the
party" is another common report
Your child may never have need to
earn an honest living, but you would
not discourage his ambition to ac-
quire efficiency in any line of business
or honest occupation that would keep
the wolf from the door in emergency
Your son might have the opportun-
ity to save life, if an expert or even a
fair swimmer. and his whole happi-
ness might depend upon the require
ments of few moments, would you
like his bitter reflections to be: MY
parents wouldn't let me learn to swim
when I had opportunity?
We think not Better think of these
things seriously and encourage your
son or daughter to become expert in
