AUGUST 14... 1908 Drouth baa fallen upon the state of Virginia, heavy and parching, and in the country many eyes are turned anxiously toward tbe skies. It is an untimely dryness, and, in a sense, an unreasonable one; for in these summer months there baa been no laok of rain fall. Sinoe "Match 1, so tbe reoorda show, there has been a considerable ezoess of moisture over tbe normal, and June gave rain enough to Eoak tbe ground thoroughly. But after that Lave come fierce heat and blazing sun shiue, day after day, to burn tbe juices from tbe earth and from tbe roots of tbe crowing crops: and tbe soil has grown seared and dry as a bone. Now every soorobed corn hill in tbe state is crying aloud for water. Men and womeu prayed for rain in many cburobes in Virginia Sunday, and prayed earnestly and iu faith. It is a pleasant thing in an age of natural law and of science, of charts and weather kites, of bureaus, instruments, obser vations and predictions, tbat people should still ask relief from drouth in simpleness upon their knees. The Milwaukee Sentinel notes that Uncle Sam is going to provide immi grant labor to farmers and adds: "Wise Unole." But bow about pro viding jo os for some hundreds of thousands who are not immigrants? When the jack tars get to New Zea land tbey will be welcomed by social ists who don't welcome them ; bnt tbat will make no difference to tbe jack tars. Tbey will- bave a good time anyway. Vioe President Fairbanks is having a better time in Canada than be won d be having in tbe United States if be had been nominated at Cbioago. A Are bas been raging underground in Butte since 1889 and it rages above ground just as relentlessly. This is figurative. DISRUPTING THE PARTY. It is a great pity tbat every mur derous-bearted wretch who attempts to kill his wife or sweetheart and then to commit suioide doos not carry out tbe tragedy as in tbe case of Ray Caldwell at Seattle, who fired two shots at bis wife, neither of wbioh took effect, and then ended his own miserable career Too ot ten tbe aim of the murderer in these oases, when directed against the woman is only too terribly true, but when the revolver is tnrned upon tbe would-be suicide his nerve fails or be flinches in his job. Thus is laid upon tbe publio tbe burden of maintaining bin) in jail pendiug bis trial iu court and frequently tbe expense of long and stubbornly contested appeals. Sym patby says an exchange, is altogether wasted on men of tbis reckless, mur derous spirit and tbe fact tbat iu their rage and mad jealousy they are pre pared to take tbe life of wife or sweet heart is proof tbat their viotims must bave suffered muoh in their associa tion with men of suob violent and un governable temper. This ia tbe harvest season, tbe vaca tion season, tbe silly season by pre- soriptive right. Nominally, only nom inallyit is tbe campaign season. In tbe reform of our presidoutial cam paign a boginuiug sbonld be mude with tbe date. It was all well euough ' to name candidates five mouths ahead of election time iu the old davs wbou there wbb noitber railroad nor tele graph, aud nominees made "whirlwind tours" by canal. Nowadays the nec essity does not exist, aud tbe business ilisturtanoe of u national Campaign is gratuitously protraoted. In 10 weeks Gieut Britaiu can go to toe country, elect and seat a fresh parliament and settle down to busiuess uudor a new government. It takes us 10 mouths. Three Oregou athletes wou honors at tbe Olympic games iu London. No other state iu tbe Union made suob a showiug. The boys will be royally entertained iu Portlaud when tbey re turn early in September. Both atbletio aud oommeroial bodies are uniting in the arrangements. Will the Roosevelt admirera who are supporting Mr. Taft be deceived, or will the Wall street supporters of Mr. Tatf bo deceived? The answer to this may be touud by carefully stndjiug and tludiug out how often Wall street bus been deceived iu the candidate it suppotted. Mme. Uould-de-Uastellaue de-Sagan ( says we are laokiug much ou tbis side of tbe noean that foreigu society pos sesses. Kvery ouce in a while some body says something about this oountry that makes us prouder than ever tbat we are permitted to live in it. The rook-ribbed standpatter is pin ning bis faith on tbe eleotiou of a re publican majority in congress which will vote for a standpat speaker aud no revising of tariff downward. "You have a btwntiful country," said Cardinal Logne to Air. Rockefel ler. Tbe Cardinal not ouly has au eye for tbe beautiful, but a rare discern ment as to ownership. Tbe Portland Oregouian bas renew ed its polioy of disrrpting tbe Repub lioan party just before a political campaign, so tbat faotional strife thereby engendered will make possible JJemooratio success. It is now de mandiug tbe removal of W. M. Cake as state chairman because he is a be liever in Statement No. 1. (Here a quotation from Tbe Oregon ian is printed. ) Tbis is a sample of tbe rule or ruin polioy of dishonor pursued by Tbe Oregouian, whose editor still cherishes tbe delusion that were Statement No. 1 out of tbe way he might bny tbe sena torsbip, and because it is not out of the way, and those elected will not violate tbeir solemn pledges, be en deavors to create friction enough to oairy tbe state for Bryan. Cake's removal or attempted removal will stir un suob a rumpus tbat it will completely wreck tbe G. O. P. cam paign, and then Tbe Oregouian will point to Statement No. 1 as the cause of disaster, when it will not be State ment No. 1 at all, but tbe fends stirred up by the paper. What tbe people of Oregon think of forcing legislators to vote for popular ohoioe for senator was shown by tbe tremendous majority given the pro posed amendment at the June eleo tiou, when only a few thousand votes oonld be mustered in favor of the old system. Medford Tribune. Professor H. B. Smith, a geologist, ba recently returned from tbe reserve aud be is, perhaps, direotly responsible for tbe movement now on foot His trip was made to investigate reports of fos sil formations fonnd there, and on bis return he proved tbe stories true by bringing with bim nearly balf a ton of fossils. Professor Smith says tbat he ' bas fou::d positive proof that in tbis seo- tion there was at one time a great in land sea, and tbat tbe springs, streams and vegetation are worth the long trip. In presenting tbeir argument for a na tional park, tbe Baker City men are urging tbat within a short time tbe Eagle Creek railroad will be oompleted, giving easy aooess to the park. As it is believed tbat it will not be difficult to transform it into a national park, wbioh shall forever te kept for tbe pleasure of the American people.
