The Kansas Issue, state organ for the
Kansas State Tcmerance union. condemns
the action of Mrs. Carrie Nation In the
Wichita affair. The Issue says:
..While it is undoubtedly true that the
sympathy of the people of Kansas Is over
whelmingly with Mrs. Carrie Nation, the
Wichita joint crusader, as against the il
legal bartenders of the state. nevertheless
the opinion is generally and very justly
held that this crusade would have been
far more effective in accomplishing re-
suits had it been attempted and persist
emily pushed in an entirely different
manner.
s'There is unqiestionably altogether
too much violation of the law in Kansas
The joint evil is not suppressed il
should be- A crusade Eis needed-not,
however, crusade of lawIessncss to figh'
lawlessness, but a crusade of law enforce
ment to suppress 1awlessness; and this
accompanied or preceded by gospel tenn
perence and organization crusades, the
former to show men and women the evils
| of intemperance and to win them to a to-
| tai abstinence standard, the latter to organ
ize them for various lines of aggressive
work i'll their respective communities.
eff Mrs Nation will begin her effort:
anew by getting together the women o
| Wichita into praying and singing bands
as in the '70s, for daily moral suasior
work in every part of the city. and if she
and her coworkers will persist in thi
work. it will result in time in CLOSING
every saloon IN Wichita. It will do ever
more. 1t will spread out over the whole
state and finally become just such a mora

Will This Be A Dry Yearg

Old settlers are comparing notes and
some of them are predicting a dry year.
If the theory of spots is correct the
probability is the year will be dry.
Every eleven years occurs the minimum
of sun spots. We are in that period now.
Computing from 1879, the period of the
greatest drouth, when no rain fell from
August, 1879. to May 20, 1850. and the
weather of 1890, we may be able to fore
cast for 1901 on the sun spot theory
Geo. II. Todd, Observer, Weather Bu-
reau, informs US that during 1890 there
was but HIP inches of rain. distributed
as follows: January -42 of an inch
February 80 of an inch, March .O5 of an
inch, April 2. 80 of inch, May 1s19 of
an inch, June one inch, July % of an
inch. This was the driest July in the
history of the weather bureau. The
average rainfall for month of July in 26
years, is 1856 inches
The temperature n 1890 was above the
average. In December 1889 there was no
| rain. In December, 1900, there was 90
of an inch of rain. The month was IL
degrees warmer than the average De-
cember. In February, 1890, the temper
atnre was 40 degrees below the aver
age. March was 10 above the average.
April was average May $40 above
| average. June degrees above average.
July was the WarneSt as we'll as the
| driest in the history of the weather bu-
reau- The temperature was 10 de-
grees above the average. August was
| $40 degrees above the average. Upon
the whole the year warmer and drier
than other years.
| The average of wind elocity an
average up to May, 1890. but in May and
June the wind velocity above the
average. There is always more wind in
| dry years.
The winter of 1901 is uncommonly
mild all over the earth. The winter of
| 1879 was mild and SO was the winter of
1890.
| The wind velocity of this winter is be-
| low the average.
The lack of snow in the mountains, the
unusual season everywhere. must give
rise to many conjectures about the
weather of 1901. We must wait and see.
