April Heat.

The weather bureau had close
call yesterday from being sharply re
proved for its assurance that there
was no relief from the extreme heat
in sight in the form of rain. For a
couple of hours it looked as though
the skies were ready to declare that
there was no truth whatever in this
pessimistic forecast. If ever Wash
ington was menaced with, or prom
ised, a vigorous thunderstorm of
the genuine midsummer variety, it
was yesterday, just when the base
ball game was in progress. Fortu-
nately for the patrons of the game,
but unfortunately for the city at
large, the storm did not quite reach
town. And SO the heat continues,
real July heat at that, to give the
prophets of a hard summer reason to
declare that this will be one of the
most caloric seasons Washington has
endured for years. But prophecies
of this kind are often wrong Many
a spring menace has been disproved,
and there is no reason now to look
for a hotter summer than usual. In
any case, Washington will be better
prepared for heat than most other
cities, with its ample parks, its
abundant shade trees and its water
frontage 1t is always delightful,
whatever the temperature.

Loan Shark Amendment.

The Board of Trade last evening
approved the proposed amendment to
the loan shark law increasing the in
terest rate on non-secured small
loans from to per cent month.
It is highly desirable that this amend
ment should be adopted. Expert
cnce has proved that it is impossible
for brokers to continue the business
of making this class of loans at the
rate now fixed by law, owing to the
percentage of losses. At all events
the fact is that the law as it is work
ing out in the District now has not
encouraged loan brokerage of legal
character, while brokerage at the old
usurious rates is conducted virtually
within but technically outside of the
jurisdiction by means of subterfuge.
The consequence is that many people
still remain in the grip of the loan
shark" and there is no present pros
pect of their release. The amend
ment of the law is demanded in their
interest and not that Of the loan
brokers, through the encouragement
of this business under the careful
regulations imposed by statute. 1t is
to be hoped that Congress will at the
next session adopt this amendment,
which is being sought by the warm
est friends of effective loan shark"
legislation.

Attacking the Dardanelles Again.

1t is plain that the allied powers
opposed to Germany and Austria
have decided that it is impracticable,
at least without heavy losses, to force
the Dardanelles by naval attack
alone. and that a change Of plan is
necessary. The landing of large
force of French and English troops
on the two sides of the straits is evil
dence that the new campaign to open
way to Constantinople is in prog
ress. Conflicting reports have come
as to the results of the first move of
the allies in this direction, Constan-
tinople denying statements issued in
Paris and London to the effect that
the French and English troops have
made an advance after securing
bases of operations. One report is
that the allied army of invasion con-

The death of John Bunny removes
a figure of interest from the amuse-

comedian was not established until
moving pictures revived the demand
for pantomimic talents which the
theater had not utilized or developed.
His opportunity came late in his
career, but when it came his domi-
nation in his especial sphere was SUI

completely overshadowed that of
more seriously considered players
who have ventured to compete in his

The Thermometer.

The thermometer stands i'll the same
old place,
Where in summer the vines bend low
with grace,
And in winter the wind sweeps
harshly by,
Or the snowfakes drift from sullen
sky.
It measures the heat or it marks the
cold,
Where the blossoms die and the buds
unfold.
Severe and silent il holds its place
When the flowers have faded and
left no trace.
1t sees them come and it sees them
The trembling bloom and the drift
ing snow.
It keeps the record from day to day,
With never share in the grief or
play.
Oh, is it better to stand secure,
And note unmoved what the rest en-
durc,
Or better to answer the suns warm
thrill,
And faint and die in the winters
chill?

sists of 100000 men. 1t is important
to note that the Turkish fortifca-
tons at the mouth of the straits, de-
spite the early work of the feet, are
still active and that their reduction
is still to be accomplished. 1t now
remains to be seen whether the COM
bination of land and naval forces will
be more effective in clearing the
straits to Constantinople than was
the naval attack.

Mr.. Roosevelt and 1890.

1t is not news that Mr. Roosevelt
did not desire the vice presidential
nomination in 1900. He recognized
his unhtness for the Office. and more
over feared that the movement to
nominate him represented desire
to sidetrack him. His own plan was
10 stand for second term as Gov
crnor of New York. and on the
strength of re-election-he did not
doubt his ability to succeed himself
at Albany-offer for the presidency
in 1904
But fortune was too much for him
-overruled him. If the bosses really
desired his destruction. they, too.
were overruled. To the extent that
they assisted in his nomination, they
helped to make him. They presently
got him in bigger dose than ever.
If he thought he was on the way to
the scaffold he was mistaken. He
was on his way to the throne. By
accepting the vice presidency he
made the presidency a certainty
What he might have had to fight for
strenuously in 1904 from the outside,
fell into his lap like ripe apple from
the inside.
But, as The Star has several times
declared. Mr. Roosevelt was not
nominated for Vice President by the
bosses of New York. or any other
bosses. Popular sentiment in the re-
publican party demanded him. Had
all the bosses in the organization
been in combination against him
they could not have defeated him. He
was at the time the most attractive
young man in the country. In the
successful young soldier and the sue
cessful young politician the republic
cans had an asset of the first order;
and the rank and file knew his value.
Besides, he had geographical
strength. Four years before. the re-
publicans had found their second man
in New Jersey. in that way recogniz-
ing the east. Why not recognize the
east again? And what eastern re-
publican compared with Mr.. Roose-
welt in demonstrated popularity
1t is anybody's guess as to what
would have happened to Mr.. Roose-
velt's presidential ambition if he had
declined the vice presidential nomi-
nation. on the idea that he would be
stronger out of than in the vice
presidency in 1904 Nineteen hundred
was republican year. made so by
the successful administration of Mr..
Mckinley. So that, as fate had ap-
pointed Mr.. McKinley's death, the
second in command was destined for
first place; and whether he had been
Mr.. Dolliver or another he would
have stood, as Mr.. Roosevelt did, for
the succession in 1904, with the ad-
vantages Mr. Roosevelt enjoyed, of
being in possession.
That would have carried Mr..
Roosevelt over to 1908, by which
time even he, as mere aspirant for
the highest place, might have be-
come stale and unpalatable. Favor
is tickle, and. as a rule, shortlived, in
America. Mr.. Roosevelt, uncon-
sciously, took the tide that was flow
ing, and was carried on to fortune
and the realization of his ambition.

PURv1s AND HANDLEY

A writer in the Times Union, de-
scribing the state prison farm at Raj
ford, speaks as follows of these two
gentlemen, well known and much liked
in Ocala:
Sqpt. ID. w. Purvis has brought this
beautiful farm from a wire grass
area to very productive body of.
land. He intends making this a model
farm, producing everything grown in
middle Florida and raising all kinds
of stock in abundance. He is man of
wonderful energy, good judgement,
and always on the job. 1t is a pleas
ant sight to watch him going among
the convicts. Never passes one with
out speaking kind word. He knows
them all and they know him. / think
Capt. Purvis is the best man for the
place he holds today in the United
States. He is just and kind, human
itarian, and not bigheaded. Too much
cannot be said in his praise.
One part of this large building is
divided off for the hospital and oper-
ating room for the surgeon. Any
person entering this hospital and op-
Grating room without being told
would think he was going into some
up-to-date sanitarium. This is all in
the hands of DR.. d. R. Handy, very
successful physician who shows his
worth by keeping the camp in good
health. Besides being a mighty
good doctor, he is pleasant gentle
man with charming wife and little
boy, t. M. Mrs. Handy is very
much interested in the doctors work
and has kind word for all sick and
afflicted.
