BRITISH AMBASSADOR
Public Discussion Preceding Mr.

London Correspondence OF The North American Review.
England has shown an unwOnted interest in the
appointment OF Sir Mortimer Durand's successor.
The matter has been discussed. perhaps. more
frankly than tudiciOusly. but ut any rate with

man only, for the office. It Is unusual * not

It argues for one thing. a consciousness among
English people that the Washington Embassy Is
not as other embassies. and that the special ties

KANSAS AND THE WEATHER BUREAU.


Kansas has broken a silence of several years
duration, and 1t is pleasant to hear again from
that once communicative commonwealth. What
a change has taken place in the decade from the
days of Kansas acute yolubillty up TO Sat
urday's protest of Representative Campbell
against the Weather Bureaus SANDER the
SunfOwer State! A little over ten years ago
Kansas was full OF symptoms" and every
Kansan was searching the political economies.
those medical treatiSes wherein the diseases of
the body polite are mlnutely described, just as
a man with mysterious ache takes TO reading
medical advertisements and doctors books.
Coins Financial School" was a popular work
on therapeutics. Comparing of the "symp-
toms" with the learned description of political
diseases led TO the conclusion that the afflCtion
OF Kansas was 'OverprOductiOn" of everything
but dollars. But when an editor gave 1t as his
opinion that kansas had started in 10 raise
hell and had an OverprOductiOn' every Kansan
at once recognized the accuracy OF the diagnosis
and applied himself 10 stopping that overprO-
duction
We cannot enumerate the changes but what
stirred Congressman Campbels ire was the
"slanderouS" assertion of the head of the
Weather Bureau that weather conditions in
Kansas had remained unchanged. The accusa-
ton is absurd. The weather OF Kansas has be-
come as mild and balmy as the people OF Kan
sas; 1t has quit ''OverprOducing" cyclone is
now meteorological heresy, as much as popu-
llsm is an economic heresy. The Oft-mOoted
question whether the weather of Kansas is re-
spOnsble for the moods OF the Kansas people
or conversely we cannot answer, but we incline
TO the view that as the people OF Kansas be-
have so does it's weather. Mr.. Campbell dispeIs
the popular fallacy that grasshOppers still
harass Kansas; they have become conventional
and moderate. Long whiskers are gone; the
boards of Kansas are the glass OF fashion and
the mould OF form.
The assertion of the Weather Bureau that the
weather Of Kansas is unchanged seems 10 us
gratuitOus, anyway. and Mr.. Campbell readily
and properly confutes II with what every
farmers wife knows" The Weather Bureau is
our national oracle. and should confine itself
To prediction, where, 10y such utterances az
Fair To cloudy. with possible showers" II
may rival the best efforts of historic DelphOs
As to the grave question whether the bureau
should have the horse il wants or that other
useful animal which Mr.. Campbell clearly has
in mind as more appropriate 10 IT. why should
the kansan and the bureau not get together
upon that compromise between these two
beasts the mule for which Missouri is so iustlv
celebrated? We remind Kansas that It would
be an act OF exceeding comfy to It's neighbor-
ing sister state; 10 the Weather Bureau we sug-
gest that the mule is an exceedingly oracular
beast.

The merger of the Mexican railways is an ex-
perimentIn government ownership with private
operation. This is a modification OF the govern
ment ownership and operation system as it pre-
walls in Germany. Italy and Japan The Mexican
government owns simply a majority Of the stock
in the roads and will consolidate them into one
company with tho capital of $225. 100000 Mexi-
can. American interests had acquired control
Of the Mexican Central and the government
feared that they would purchase and consoli-
date the other Mexican roads. 1t seems reason
able that the Mexican government should wish
20 keep the control OF the country's roads from
passing into the hands Of foreigners. and the ex-
pertinent OF government ownership entered upon
is the most moderate possible.
