Water Economies.

With the hot weather comes the
need of water saving. Here in Wash
ington the margin of safety between
supply and use is so slight, owing to
the failure of Congress to make pro-
vision in season for an increase of
supply to keep pace with the growth
of population, that midsummer econo-
mics are imperative. The Commission
ers have. therefore, announced that
for three months, beginning today, it
will be unlawful to sprinkle the side
walk or street in front of the house.
This is under new regulation which
was adopted last winter, according
to which only the street cleaning
department can flush the sidewalks
during July, August and September.
Violation of this rule may be punish
ed by a fine of from ST to So 1t is
permitted to the householder to water
his lawn during the summer between
and o'clock, morning and evening.
This is an ample allowance of time.
Tuesdays heat, which was the great
est of the season, brought about an in
crease in the consumption of water
of more than million gallons over
the day previous. The total of water
used was 6s,000,000 gallons, which is
dangerously near the maximum ca
paeity Of the conduits, reservoirs and
pumps. 1t remains to be seen whether
any part of this extra million gallons
was used in street and sidewalk sprin-
king Even with the economy effected
by the new rule against such water
use during the coming three months
there will be days when the total con
sumption will rise to the point at which
the supply will be strained seriously
Washington's prayer is that by an
other summer work will have been
started ON a water increase project that
will, when finished, relieve the capital
from this annual menace.

Candidate Coolidge.

After his conference yesterday with
Gov. Coolidge, Candidate Harding said:
81 think the Vice President should
De more than a mere substitute III
waiting. In establishing co-ordina-
tion between the executive office and
the Senate the Vice President can and
ought to play a big part, and | have
been telling Gov. Coolidge how much
l wish him to be not only partici
pant in the campaign, but how much
/ wish him to be helpful part of a
republican administration. The eoun-
try needs the counsel and the becom
ing participation i'll government of
such men as Gov Coolidge
This is in the right key. 1t is the
proper appraisement of the Office of
Vice President, and one in consonance
with the ideas of the fathers.
We started, it will be remembered,
with John Adams. Next came Thomas
Jefferson. Both were men of the first
order of intellectual and political con
sequence In Jackson's day John c.
Calhoun, AN intellectual giant, pre-
sided over the Senate, and in our day
Theodore Roosevelt, master poll
tician, occupied the chair for a short
time.
In all probability, the nominee of
the San Francisco convention will
copy Candidate Harding in this mat
ter. We may assume that the demo
Gratis will, as the republicans did, give
their candidate for first place yoke
mate of excellent quail ty, and thus
lay sort of command on him to con-
suit with the man sharing with him
the responsibilities of the campaign.
If it shall turn out that Mr.. Marshall
is the last of the Vice Presidents of
. che conventional order-a listener and
a looker-on, without invitation to
make suggestion of his own-we
shall have enjoyed one of the wittiest
and most philosophical of the num-
Der. He has accepted his part with
great good humor, and played it with
relish. sHis telegram of sympathy to
Gov. Coolidge was a characteristic
gesture.

Speeches and Cheers.

The democratic convention at San
Francisco yesterday divided it's time
between oratory and cheering. Speak
ers placed the names of their favorite
candidates in nomination and the dele
gates and spectators responded with
enthusiasm and some with signs of
disciplined organization in an effort
to make records. Some of the re-
sponses were brief, but others were
prolonged. Gov. Smith of New York
got half an hour of cheering. Attor-
ney General Palmer got thirty seven
minutes. Gov. Cox of Ohio was given
a forty minute ovation. The biggest
tumult of the day occurred when Will
liam G. McAdoo was named And
here comes a singular fact, showing
that there is really no relation be-
tween the oratory and the cheering.
The man who nominated Mr.. McAdoo
had gone to San Francisco 'loaded''
with an elaborate address. There had
been some question as to whether or
not he could deliver it or, indeed, make
any public mention of his candidate,
owing to the peculiar reticence and
reluctance of that individual. Almost
at the last moment plans were changed
and it was decided to make a formal
nomination. But the eloquent periods
of the nominating speech were tucked
away and the speaker presented the
name in perhaps the briefest nomi,
mating speech ever made before a po.
litieal convention. 1t lasted less than
one minute of the twenty allowed un
der the rules, but it sufficed to produce
a demonstration that continued fol
three quarters of an hour, the longest
| and loudest of all the outbursts
There is no particular relation o1
cause and effect in this. Probably the
McAdoo demonstration would have

Hearst's Third Party Plan.

One Of the diversions of this just
opening political campaign is the third
party enterprise of William Randolph
Hearst, who is from time to time is
suing proclamations calling for the or
ganization of a new party as a place
Of refuge for the discontented. When
Hiram johnson was defeated for the
republican nomination at Chicago Mr..
Hearst declared that he was the ideal
standard bearer for the new indie
pendent party which he was proposing.
Somehow Senator Johnson did not re-
spond warmly to the suggestion. From
his front porch on the Bay of San
Francisco has come no sign of acqui-
escence. Mr.. Hearst is now in San
Francisco and it is possible he has

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Final Touch.

The Final Touch.
When you've had bad news of the
candidate
On whom your heart has been set.
When the milkman quits and the ice
is late,
And the heat makes the children fret.
When you long for sleep as the
shadows fall,
And the moon sends white-hot
ray
You shudder as Gladys begins to bawl,
'1t's the End of Perfect Day!"
When the motor has quit ten miles
from home,
And tire you've fingered to change;
When for water and gas you have had
to roam
Through a neighborhood grim and
strange;
You might keep your temper in proper
poise
AS your thoughts to these hardships
stray
If Gladys would cease that fiendish
'1t's the End of a Perfect Day!"

other hand, it is interesting to specu
late whether Gov. Smith of New York
would have received as great an ac-
claim as that which greeted his nomi-
nation after the eloquent speech of
Bourke Cochran, probably the most
gifted of all the "spellbinders" who
performed yesterday at San Francisco.
But after all the speeches and all the
demonstrations, the voting is yet to
