President Mckinley, a lifelong
Office holder, was bound in many
ways by his record; President
Roosevelt will be bound by moth
ing. Nominated against his will,
he owes nothing to those who
voted for him, either in respect
to offices or to policies. Seldom
indeed is any President so free to
follow, for veal or woe. his own
course.

Certain northern prpers pro-
TESS to be surprised by the fact
that certain democratic journals
are calling for a combination of
the telephone services in their
cities. The northern sheets call
attention to the alleged inconsis-
tency of the southern in oppos-
ing trusts. Of course, these
papers are merely pretending;
they can see easily enough the
difference between natural mono
poles like telephones and ex-
cresences like ordinary trusts.

would an imperial edict from the

success of his scheme to nomin-
ate Roosevelt for Vice-President
in order to get rid of him.

Roosevelt will certainly ex-
tend the civil service laws in
stead of restricting them. Prob
ably his administration will see
the entire diplomatic and consu-
lar service, except perhaps the
ambassadors and ministers them
selves, brought under the rules
of the organized service.

A great leader is dead. Not
since the era of good feeling in
Monroe's term, three-quarters of
a century ago, has any President
been more popular personally
than Mr.. Mckinley. Even those
who opposed the President,
could not help loving the man.
We owe it to his memory to SO
act that his death may not have
been in vain-that anarchy may
be blotted out of our land.

President Roosevelt says that
McKinley's policy will be con

way than it has been during the
past few years. Roosevelt's hot
headedness is sure TO come to
the front.

WOULD RUIN THE ARID WEST.
Editor Messenger -

EUttOT messenger -
DEAR SIR In an article by
Mr.. E. B. Dunn, formerly an Of
fetal of the U. S. Weather Bur
eau, published in the Washing
ton Star of Sept. z, 1901, the in
terests Of the entire West are
attacked through the setting
forth of the theory that irriga-
ton in the West is the cause OF
the phenomena known as heat
waves, and on this account the
benefits of irrigation are more
than outweighed by the evils re-
sulting therefrom.
The Chief of the Weather Bur
eau and his entire professional
staff, having examined this ar
ticle, have singly and collectively
condemned the theory as absurd,
unsound and as calculated to in.
jurc the sub-arid West, if accept
ed.
The author states that the heat
waves Glow pressure areas) thai
develop over the plateau region
of the Rocky Mountains lack
moisture, consequently, move
more slowly than other low pres
sure areas and subject the people
stock and crops in the eastern
states to prolonged period Of
intense heat. If such be true
then the addition of moisture
through irrigation would tend tc
quicken the movement of the
heat waves and irrigation in the
West be o benefit to the people
of the East rather than an evil
since the heat waves receiving
moisture would move rapidly
and shorten the duration of the
heat period.
The efforts of the author tt
convey the impression that heal
waves that linger over the plat
eau region are the result of irri
cation must fail, since the rec
ords of the Weather Bureau ex
tending back to the time whel
irrigation was not in genera
practice in the West prove thai
heat waves have ever developed
in the plateau region and drifteC
eastward much after the fashion
of those of the past season
Furthermore they are likely t
on developing in the future as il
the past without alteration
Mans attempts to change Natur
e's plan as to climate are puny
and proftless.
1t is my impression that the
generally accepted theory tha
irrigation has a tendency t,
temper the climate and make i
more habitable through increas
ed evidence of husbandry is true
No material climatic change il
likely TO take place in the Yves
through irrigation, and certainl,
no amount of moisture distribut
ed over the West will affect thu
climate of the East in the least.

The request to the members of
the Cabinet to retain their port
folios is of course only a temper
airy thing, intended to tide over
the change in the government.
Probably all the Secretaries will
vacate some time this winter,
likely soon after Congress meets
to confirm the nominations of
their successors.

There are few indications as
to the attitude that Roosevelt
will take towards the trusts, but
it is certain that he will find him
