Value OF The Weather Roports.

The two departments of the
national government that come
into closest continuous contact
with the people are the postoffice
department, with its rapid de-
velopment in every direction, in
GLIDING the extension of the rur-
al free delivery, and the weather
bureau, whose forecasts are now
printed in every one of the $500
daily newspapers of the United
States, telegraphed to more than
1000 chief points, and thence
distributed by telegraph OF tele-
phone or postal card to thousands
of business exchanges, postoffices,
Libraries and other places where
people assemble. The govern
ment is ever extending its service.
In the Middle West, from Ohio
to Nebraska, 1000, 900 farmers OBJ
tain the weather forecast by tele-
phone thirty minutes after it is is
sued" and more than 100, 900
farmers are now receiving the
forecasts daily by rural delivery
SIX hours after issue.
The value of this service to
farmers, to shipping and to the
people generally is incalculable,
and Gilbert Grosvenor in the
current Century cities few facts
and figures, which show at a
glance that there is one scientific
department, costing the govern
ment a large sum of money, which
pays" thousand fold.
The United States is the lead
er in meteorology; it expends an
nually 81, 100000 on its weather
service, which is more than all
the governments of Europe com
bined spend for the purpose.
Many hundred trained observers,
constantly alert, watch the heav-
ems by land and sea, and keep the
whole nation informed of meteor
illogical conditions. The ordin.
airy citizen who thinks that the
bureaus chief service is to make
predictions of rain or fair weather
misjudges the value of the bureau.

people were plunged into grief
and humiliation by the crushing
defeat of Rojestvensky, the
mobiles, especially in court circles,
went on with their balls and Soc
ial festivities as though nothing
had happened. Their ignorance
and Indifference to the national
feeling and conditions is parallel
with that of the French queen,
who, when the French populace
paraded the streets and threat
ened the royal palace, clamoring
for bread, asked why they did
not eat cake.
When the army of France
joined hands with the people the
monarchy crumbled into dust,
and Russia's fate hinges on the
same contingency. 1t is said
that one of the reasons for Rus
sia's poor showing in the war is
the fact that the flower of the
troops have been kept at home to
overawe the revolutionary spirit
of the people. AT all events, if
the Russian newspapers truth
fully reflect the national senti-
ment it will require the sternest
military measures to save the
government if the war continues
much longer.
1t is pretty certain that Russia
will not accept the terms of peace
which have been outlined as
coming from japan. She will
not pay a large indemnity, much
less the billion of dollars sugges-
ted as Japan's demand, and she |
will not consent to give bond with |
three European nations as indor-
sers to keep the peace permanent
ly in the Orient.
On the other hand, Japan's |
advantage in regard to peace
terms will improve as the war
goes on. Within a short time
she will hold possession of Vladi-
vostok and probably of the whole
coast OF Siberia, and unless UNI
expectedly defeated on land she
will drive the Russians out of
Manchuria and Eastern Siberia.
The war will then resolve itself
into a question of financial en-
durance, at an immense and al
most ruinous cost to both nations"

The Presidents Peace Overture

The Kansas City Journal seems
to take the correct view of things
IN its comments that despite
President Roosevelt's praise
worthy efforts to bring about
peace between Russia and japan,
1t is doubtful if there is much
prospect of an early conclusion of
the war. "A great deal depends,
OF course, on whether Mr.. Roose-
velt's offer of mediation would be
acceptable. AT present both
Japan and Russia offer plausible
reasons for continuing the war,
and it would seem to an outsider
that the only thing that could
stop it would be internal distur-
Dances in Russia of sufficient
gravity to paralyze the energies
oi the government.
That the Russian government
is standing on volcano is APP
parent to all who read the press
dispatches. The newspapers are
III open revolt against the bureau
cracy, and there is wide discon-
tent among the people of Russia.
The main question is one of
ability to enforce their wishes,
and this depends almost entirely
upon the action of the army.
Thc situation, while not so bad
in its industrial aspects, is strik-
ingly similar to the conditions in
France on the eve Of the French
revolution. The Russian gov
eminent is one of wanton extrava-
gance, misrule and incompetency.
The Russian nobility is as Bour-
bon in spirit as the French of the
eighteenth century, learning
nothing and forgetting nothing.
The wide gulf that separates
them from the people was illus
trated by the fact that while the

Sam Morgan was examined by
the board of insanity last Friday,
and it was decided he was not
TIT subject for the asylum and was
set free. The cause of the charge
seems to come from the family on
account of trouble between Sam
and his father. He was advised
not to return to his home.

| The wonderfully accurate pre-
diction OF floods in 1908, for in
stance, was the mears of saving
thousands of lives, and of pre-
venting the destruction Of an inn
mense amount of property.
Twenty-eight days in advance OF
the com ng of the floods the fore
caster at Washington announced
the exact time when the crest
OF the flood would reach New
Orleans, and said that the height
OF the flood would be twenty-one
feet" The flood was twenty
leet and seven inches. The rain
which brought this flood had
dropped over territory six times
larger than New York state; but
through the cooperation of all
the weather men in that region;
by the observations Of hundreds
OF rain guageS, and by simple
computations based on the carry
ing capacity of the river beds,
the torecaster knew TO ertainty
Just what volume of water would
pour through certain rivers and
just where and when the floods
would strike.
The warnings were sent out;
the people began to work on the
weak spots in the levees of the |
Mississippi river; goods, cattle
and people were moved to places |
OF safety, and when the floods
came the people were prepared
for them.
An insurance company which
was skeptical of the value of the
weather bureau made a careful
Investigation of the workings of
the bureau several years ago, and
estimated that the people of the
United States were saved on an
average at least $50, 100000 an
1ually i'll property alone, not
human life. How great
he saving of life is may be un-
ierstood from the statement that
ormerly, when the storm warm
ng system was undeveloped, IS
Der cent of all the loss to shipping
IN the great lakes was caused by
forms, while now less than IS
Der cent OF the loss is attributed
o that cause. Forty-iive min
ties after a storm warning is
ssued at Washing it is placed in
he hands of every sea captain
n every sea and lake port in the
United States; and some notion
nay be formed of the mere COM
herclal value of the storm warn 4
ngs from the statements that
urlng every year 1900 vessels
lear the ports between Portland
nd New Orleans on the Atlantic

BY the frost warnings of 1898 it
as been estimated that So, 400
90 worth of fruit was saved.
he fruit grower of Florida takes
leasures to save his crop when

romptly floods his marshes; the

AN ODD PROVISION.

A BALTIMORE CAPITALIST. Robert
Il c. White, died the other dav.
leaving a viii containing this provision:
IF at any time any Of the benefi-
Charles or their successors ever commit
any act or in any manner whatever
give any support, aid. sympathy or
countenance to what 1 consider the
pernicious fallacy Of prohibition or 10
cal option, or any other scheme for the
total suppression by law of the sale or
consumption of liquors that will in
tOxicate. when abused or used to ex-
cess, or commit any act of prescription
against any person of good moral
character by reason Of being engaged
IN the manufacture, sale or owing to
the rational use Of such liquors, that
then and in such case such legacy shall
become forfeit and void"
The provision reads as if the dece-
dent had not long before been daIIying
with the cup that both cheers and in
toxicates. And IL he is where he can
see what his heirs do with his money
he need not complain if most of it is
dissipated in drunken revelry. for he
has given them abundant encourage
ment to engage in that sort Of thing.

1t has never been asserted that our
soldiers fight less valiantly because
they do not receive special monetary
rewards for exhibitions of valor. The
men of the navy would Indignantly re-
sent the insinuation that they pursue
hostile vessels more eagerly. fight
against them more bravely for a money
consideration. Why, there is not a man
in either the navy or the army who is
in it for profit. There is not a man in
either establishment in any sub
ordinate position, who could not earn
more money in private life than the
government pays them
They are in the army and navy be-
cause they love their country, because
they are willing at any time and at all
times to fight for it. Whatever glory
they win is ungrudgingly given them
when they are injured in the service
they are pensioned; when they are
killed their families are looked after
by the government There is neither
justification nor excuse for giving prize
money TO one and withholding it from
the other.

TO CUT OFF PRIZE MONEY.

T HE COMMITTEE on naval affairs
of the house of representatives has
favorably recommended a bill doing
away with prize money in the navy. 1t
is reasonable to expect that consider
able opposition TO the measure win be
developed by naval officers and their
friends. but the bill should become a
law, nevertheless. Prize money in the
navy is a relic OF other days that we
should long since have outgrown De-
signed originally to encourage our sea
fighters i'm the destruction or capture
of ships of the enemy, and TO place
them on an equal footing with army
looters, there is no longer any necessity
for it,
A general in the regular army may
capture goods and stores and arms and
ammunition worth hundreds of thou
sands of dollars but he does not shar
in the proceeds. Private soldiers enter
ing captured city are not permitted
to take the value OF a common pin from
one Of the houses. OF course private
soldiers do engage in looting. as when
the allied armies marched on Picking.
but when they are detected they are
punished severely. Nobody would favor
the establishment of a law of loot IN
the army. Yet it would be just as fair
as the law that permits the distribution
OF prize money in the navy.
