We have thought it was hot in Maine,
and our summer visitors from other
states have informed us, in tone which
implied sort of grieved reproach, that
our conception of the temperature was
entirely correct; but when we read the
stories of other sections, particularly
the Southwest, we begin to think that,
after all, we are some thousands OF
miles nearer the north pole than the rest
of the country. Thirty-four days of con-
tinuous heat above 900, with maximum
temperatures above 1902 on eighteen OF
the thirty-four days, makes about fair
sample of the reports from the South,
west. OF course Kansas is the centre OF
all this fiery furnace. Kansas may not
be expected to do anything in other than
a wildly extreme fashion in politics,
saloon smashing or weather. Once Kan
sas was practically unanimously Repub-
lican. Only few years later it was
fiercely Populistic. One season the
Kansas crops are practically total
failure. Another year, the farmers are
paying off their mortgages, building
new houses, buying horses and carriages
and starting bank accounts, from the
crops of single season.
