The lack of rain in the Northwest causes alarm about the wheat crop, but noising could be done until the circuses get by.

The governor of Nevada says he wou't interfere with the prize fight, ft is so rare an experience for that state to get a lot of people to stay Over night that anything would go.

The cause of decency continues to make headway. It is becoming in creasingly diificut for bruisers, whether while or black, to find a ?i-Iace to pound each other. The pres sure of public sentiment has caused California to be- shut against them and probably it will nut be long before every statt prohibits prize fights. The day of pugilism is rap idly passing as bull and bear bait ing, and. in large measure, cock figJtitinir. have already done. So ciety is gradually becoming more humane iu its sports. The call of the summer is loud and insistent to the mau whose f&teady grind of work in close work rooms or stilling offices makes him 4oug for leafj woods aud cool breezes and .sparkling water when the mercury soars to dizv.y heights, ft is not everyone who is able to answer the call, but to tnoae who Cau. a week or two or even but a few days out iu the open is not on iy a positive immediate reit?

That defer ence to the kiug and a wish not to hamper liim in the parly days of his reign witl have some effect is unquestioned. Yet no oue seems to tiave any belief that the coming con ference between the leaders of (he opposing parties will achieve any thing. As a matter of fact the de ferences are so radical and the ten sion go gfeat that it is clear that Vefore long the whole thing must be fought to a finish, and that win ?mean the triumph of the house of oommon? Child Labor. Ever since Sir Robert Peel in 1802 introduced and carried the first leg islation to limit the hours of labor for children the question of child labor has been to the front. The realization that the employment of children of tender years is detrimen tal to their physical, mental and moral welfare, and therefore to that of society in general has led to one restriction after another being im posed by most of the states in the union and by nations generally. As a consequence many of the abuses Incident to child labor have been, either materially lessened or entire ly removed. Yet facts are constant ly coming to light showing that even today many thousands of cnildren, many of them but little more than infants, are working in factories or in close, ill-ventilated tenements. What that means as to health and morals no one can fail to see. Those children should be at school, de veloping their minds, and living un der conditions whreby their whole being may be advauc d. That thi3 is not the case is a reproach to our humanity. Of course the immediate responsibility for these condition rests with those employers who pay such starvation wages, especially in some industries, that every member of the family has to help to keep body and soul together, fnj princi pal suffers from this cupidi'/.a?*^ the foreign born people in our la.-sre cit ies who, being ignorant of American customs and laws, are tas'ly ?'m-* posed upcu. But no state can, in its own interests, afford to have, sucn conditions continue. The well-being of any state and community depends upon the. physical and other welt being of its citizens. it requires no great discernment to uiilcistand hat children whose whole being Is stunted by hard work can 'ever be come strong, healthy auc! dc-i-a !>:.3 man and women. . Vacation for the Little Ones. < Vacation time for the children brings anything but holiday sugges tions to the giown ups, who for the next two mouths can't turn over overworked teachers the duty of bfe ing fathers and mothers to the. sm?ii folks. The American parent is sp fearful of abridging the freedom of the children, that the modern school boy vacation is a time of the most unfettered license since the days of the jungle. On the farm there are still tasks to be done, but the town boy is as free from Adam's nurse is in the sinless days of paradise. As it really made, a man of Adam -to get out and earn his bread by t&e sweat of his brow, so the average boy is quite as well off if he has<;a few regular tasks. The trouble xte that he expects pay for all he does, with a scale of prices in which even carrying a pitcher of water has its union prices. No doubt it is all right to encourage the boy, paying him (or his harder work, but he oui,ht also to be willing to do something every day as his free contribution toward family resources. The Critical Period. Probably the most critical 'period in the career of a public man i* when he is upon the crest of public popularity. Instances' are not "want ing in our American-history of men who were popular idols for a brief season only to be religated to obi scurity or to be severely criticised in the future immediately following. This was not necessarily their fault, although in some cases they laid themselves open to censure by their injudicious course. In o'.her words their heads were turned by popu larity. But usually the change in sentiment was due to that re-action which naturally follows a great ex citement in political as in n ligious life. If the man honored by popu lar applause does not lose his bal ance by popularity and avoids any unwisdom of speech or action until conditions in the public mind are again normal his public career is safe. And it is to the credit of most distinguished Americans who have had to sustain the ordeal that they have met the situation successfully. Where the Danger Lies. Th? 'enemies of the republic" to day are found within its borders not without. So tar from being in any .langer from other countries there is probably not a nation but wishes us well and rejoices in our prosperity. But every boudler and briber, every member of the "predatory rich," ev ery monopolist stilling legitimate competition and (.hereby restraining trade, and every man willing to seit his vote and his principles, is an I enemy and by his evil actions strikes a blow at the very foundations of our government. To much leniency has usually been shown criminals ;.nd there have been innumerable legal loopholes through which mau> have crawled beyond the reach of justice. But the higher moral con science of tut people is making its influence Telt. and ttfe prospect foi punishing evil doers, and for greater purity and" honesty was probably never as good as it is now. A man can'do no more patriotic service by living the true American life. Is Near at Hand. The season is at hand when the country will be flooded with oratory in which patriotism and the duti"? or American citizenship will be em phasized to the fullest. All that is well for most certainly there is need of a higher sense of citizenship. But to rest content with applauding the patriotic utterances of speak*. r3 will accomplish nothing in tho way of bettering conditions. What is needed is an active, intelligent and persistent patriotism determined up up the uprooting of commercial abuses and political graft and cor ruption wherever they exist. -The body politic needs tor Us purifying less or talk, less ol promises, anil a great deal more of actual doings along the line of business <uid politi cal righteousness.
