and for which his administration Is
chiefly remembered. He has hitherto
bitterly and successfully resisted all
efforts to do away with 1t. but has ap-
parently become tired Of the fight or
has too many troubles of his own in
Washington. The South Carolina sys-

Snow of Many Colors.

OF course in Pittsburg they have
black snow in the natural order OF
things. No other kind could fall
through the atmosphere that hangs
over that town. But Chicago sends
eastward a tale of green snow which IS
something out of the ordinary. II THIS
green snow had been seen only by
Chicago people it would not have been
surprising, but honest and sober people
who are strangers in Chicago Sazed at
il as it tell for several hours, and i'll
their amazement at the green snow
everybody forgot the usual miseries OF
living in that Windy City. Before the
Chicago University professors got
around to offer any scientific explana-
ton of the phenomena police officer
saved the situation by exclaiming,
Didn't we sprinkle the trees with
winter wash last night? That's
green solution, and, think, IL solution
to the mystery. That's what it is. It's
green snow all right, but it's a dyei
green"
But Chicago is not alone in reporting
meteorological caprices. Cp-in Winni-
peg they thawed out the telegraph
wires sufficiently to send forth this
message:
winnipeg, Man, Jan. l3.-The Cana
dian PACING railroad agent at Glacier,
in the Rocky mountains. reports the
unusual phenomenon OF crimson SNOW
having fallen in that region OF the
lofty ranges. This is not the nrst
time such an occurrence has been OBJ
served in the Rockies, but the mani
festation is apparently very early.
Now that the thing is started. the
Kansas City Journal suggests that
other communities may begin to return
accounts of climatic jags after this
fashion:

question of removing the capital will.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Go Slowly.
Maine Farmer.)


Make haste slowly" in spite OF the in
tolerance which latter day business
methods have sometimes created, lot II
is still as full of homely wisdom IS the
day on which it was first used. And es-
pecially in its application to the spending
of money it still holds good. even IN
these times when business IS zone at
high pressure. It is SO easy 10 speno II
dollar and so relatively hard to earn or
save enc, that there is profit in thinking
more than once before parting from II.
Modern finance, if it has taught anything.
has taught that progress Is to be found
in holding to the dollar until an oppor-
tunity offers for its really profitable in
vestment.
Whether it be a question of investing
the money of an individual or Of group
Of individuals, the rule is the same, ex-
cept that in the community where the
responsibility for the expense to the
many is in the hands of the few, the
haste should be even more slow. with A
clear and careful. foresight OF ITS event
ual meaning.
In discussing the question of the re-
moval of the capital from Augusta to
any other point, it should be remembered
that it can only be accomplished at the
cost of millions of dollars. perhaps ST.
1000. perhaps 100000. Experience has
shown that such buildings generally do
exceed their initial appropriations.
But the point to be remembered in con-
sidering this question il this State is
simply whether the taxpayers, on whom
the cost would fall, will find a profitable
investment in such an outlay. In other
words, can it be afforded? Will the re-
turn from such an investment. in the
light of increased taxes, make it desir-
able? 1t is we'll to make haste slowly
in answering this question; to consider
it as a plain business proposition. since
that is the only manner in which con-
ditions give it any right to considera-
ton.
Or would the voter. the taxpayer-tha.
it, the whole State-plofit more by decid-
ing simply that the money should not be
spent. or if spent. that it should. for in
stance. be put into good roads, which the
farmer needs so badly, or more rural
schools?
The investment of 100000 of the peo-
pies money to move the capital. or in
anything else. would be an undertaking
of great Importance. Haste should be
made slowly in considering it carefully.
1t is plain; business question into
which neither politics nor corporate in
| terests should be allowed to enter. Every
voter can consider it for himself, just
how much it will add to his taxes-just
how long it will take to wipe out the
debt The question is simply as a bust
ness proposition. involving the invest
ment of large sum of the peoples
money-is it worth it,5in dollars and
cents? Z

The first state to adopt a complete
and comprehensive civil service law
was Wisconsin two years ago though
others have taken steps along this line.
This year Gov Cummins of Iowa comes
out strongly in his message for a
similar statute. I'VE are all pledged to
it, he says, 80 far as the government
of the United States is concerned. and
why should we not stand for it in our
own commonwealth? The lower
house of the Iowa Legislature, it is
noted, has taken the most unusual step
OF adopting examinations for its own
clerks-in this going further than Con-
gress has ever done. In Pennsylvania,
Gov. Stuart recommends that the civil
service reform principles applied to
Philadelphia by one of the bills passed
at the special session Of last year, be
extended to all offices in counties of
more than 10000 population. There
are seven or eight such counties in
Pennsylvania.

The Next Senate.

The terms of 30 United States SEN
ators will expire next March and in
Is cases elections have already been
held. There are at present two dead
locks, one in Rhode Island and the 9TH
err in New Jersey where there are lively
contests for the seats now filled re-
spectively by George P. Wetlnore and
John F. Dryden. Both legislatures are
controlled by the Republicans and both
of these senators are Republicans. but
there is much opposition to their return
to Washington and it is not at all
unlikely that new men will be elected
in both states. During the present
month % senators have been elected
for the term ending March 4, 1913,
while in six southern states senators
were elected year ago, or at least the
succession was settled by the primary
system in vogue there.
The reflections in the main keep in
the Senate the web known and strong
men of that body whose terms are eX-
piring. These reflections. include
Morgan, Of Alabama; Cullom, of Hi
nois; Dolliver, of Iowa; Foster, of
Louisiana; Frye, Of Maine; Crane, OF
Massachus"i. Ne,son. of Minnesota;
McLaurin. of Mississippi, Burnham, Of
New Hampshire; Simmons, of North
Carolina; Tillman, of South Carolina;
Bailey, of Texas; Martin, of Virginia;
Elkins of West Virginia; and Warren.
Of Wyoming. Pet.us, Of Alabama, is
also reelected, though his present term
does not expire until 1909. Bacon, of
Georgia, has received an Endorsement
at the primaries, but cannot be elected
until the legislature of Georgia meets
next June.
AS far as the half score new sena-
tors are concerned most of them are
unknown quantities to the country at
large. There are exceptions to this
rule in William Alden Smith of Michi-
gan and Charles Curtis of Kansas, both
of whom have served several terms in
the House of Representatives where
they have proved their right TO promo
ton to the higher body. Another we'll
known man who will come to the Sem
ate is Ex-Governor Jeff Davis Of Ar
kansas but the kind of reputation
which he brings with him is rather an
unfortunate one, to put it mildly.
The Democratic side has lost two OF
it's most vigorous members in the fail
ure of Carmack of Tennessee and Pat
terson of Colorado to be returned. The
Republicans will have three more
members in the next Senate than in the
present one, gaining members respect
lively from Colorado, Montana and
Idaho. There will be 81 Republicans
ana 90 Democrats. 1t is probable, how
ever that two members will be added
To the Democratic side from the new
state of Oklahoma when the lesisla-
ture of that new state meets for the
first time AZ present the Democratic
party has practically no representation
in the Senate except from the old
solid South.

On Their Last Ieqs.

The late Richard Tonnes, who, dying
at ninety-nine, was the Oldest Odd Fellow
in America. used to be very proud of his
great age. At the Odd Fellows Home in
Philadelphia he liked to discuss longevity
Il am Il nonagenarian," he said one
day tC visitor. In my youth ! never
thought I'd become even a septua genarian
or an Octogenarian.
Speaking of octogenarians, ! remember
conversation that / overheard when
was young man. between two little
relatives of mine.
The younger. a boy, said to his sister:
Mary. what Is an octogenarian?'
"'Well. I don't just know what they
are said the little girl. but they must
be awfully sickly creatures. You never
hear OF 'em but what they're dying"
