secretary and his half brother, who
are rusticating together. If this be
true, then 1t Is apparent that 1t was
hoped TO hold of action till advices
from the real head of the candidacy
be had.
The ForalSer-Dick men have moi
given out list OF the names of com
mitteemen whom they claim will vote
for the tabling OF the Taft indorse-
ment resolutions. They now claim
that II is not the limit of their
strength.
"In fact. there are evidences that
the vote would really stand 10 for
tabling the motion, with eight against
it. The fact that at least one of the
men elected In opposition to Dick
has swung into line has helped the
Foraker crowd amazingly. And there
vii be other surprises when the com
mittee meets" said Foraker leader

ct the meeting CT the state central
committee u be held July 30, Is
CcEcrslly admitted. Both factions
will be lined up strongly and neith-
Ter will be in mood to consider any
proposition for compromise.
AS far as Marion county is con-
Icerned, unless there has been de-
|cided change in sentiment recently,
lthe Republican leaders are almost
solid for Taft. 1t is not believed that
the oFraker boosters have succeeded
lin making an impression here, al
though Warren q. Harding is, for
reasons best known to himself, one of
the senator's warmest admirers and
supporters. Warren'g talk doesn't
carry very far with local committee
men.
The question of whether Taft is to
be endorsed for the presidency at the
meeting next Tuesday is now being
generally debated. The Foraker forces
are lying low and are not presuming
to say how many committeeman will
|oppose the Taft endorsement. How
ever, the Ohio Sun, one of the lead
ing Foraker organs in Ohio, hints
that there will be enough opposition
to table any endorsing resolution
which may be introduced. On the
other hand, the Ohio State Journal,
which has been OPPOSED to Foraker
ever since the present owner took
charge, clcaim sthat the feeling in
favor of Taft is universal.
Marion county will probably be
represented at the state committee
meeting by l.. B. McNeal. and 1t is
thought that he will be instructed
to vote for the Taft endorsement.

Political Talk
MAY GUST BROWN

Columbus, o., July 24.-State Chair
man walter Brown, of the Republi-
can Central committee. will have
something to fight for when the state
committee meets here July 30. under
his own call.
III the plans of number of the
members OF the committee do not
miscarry, Brown will be fighting to
prevent being tossed over the Boards
as state chairman. The plan. which
originated with several of the MEM
bers OF the committee who have Wis
ited Columbus within the past 10 days
provides for the deposing of Brown
and the election of some one oIse nc
chairman.
The grounds for the action are that
Brown has taken upon himself All
thority to speak for the entire com
mittee, and to have declared the state
committee will do this or will do that
wneh IN fact he had no right to speak
Tor anyone but himself.
For these reasons the members NJ
the committee are sore. They s.v,
that but for the unwise talk OF Brown
and his abnormal appetite for trou-
pie there would be none of the pres
ent scrap In Ohio. Therefore. thew
say mat for the good OF the party he
must be deposed and some one elect
ed as state chairman who will not
usurp so much power.
An example of the Brown act,ons
Is cited In the case OF the two Hamil-
ION county members. Brown has
been travelling about the state seeing
members OF the state committee. He

there wouldn't be any room in the

SEEING THE SIGNS.
Realizing that 1.-THE day of judg-
ment," so far as it is concerned, is
at hand, the Bell telephone trust is
moving with all it's might to fore
stall If possible any legislation by
the general assembly of Ohio at the
Iregulaur session next year which may
compel It to be guided more by the
needs of the people and less by its
greed
Part of the Bell trusts plan is to
compromise with Independent COM
panies, wherever possible, by turn
ing over local exchanges rendered
Improbable by the competition of the
home Independent company, providing
an arrangement can be made with
the local company to permit the
Bell trust to utilize the exchange for
its long-distance service, which the
Bell trust contracts to keep.
Deals of this kind have been made
by the Bell trust in Marion and Del
aware, and the validity of such COM
bination is about to be tested in the
courts as being in violation of the
valentine antitrust law. Because
such combination practically means
MONOPOLY in the interest of the Bell
Telephone Co.
When the responsible agents of the
Bell trust contemplate the fate of ice,

at Toledo not all of whom were resi-
dents of Toledo, the monopolzation
of telephone service by such manipu.
lation of telephone service as that
Marion and Delaware may not look
quite so tempting. For the Toledo plan
OF prosecution and punishment is only
beginning, and there is no telling
In advance where it Is going to end.
Which makes 1t all the more i'm
portant to the Bell telephone trust to
forestall action by the legislature IL
IL can; and which makes It still more
Important to the people of Ohio 10
see to 1t that the legislature keeps its
promise to enact remedled legislation
for the conduct of telephone and tele-

caused what is known as a "tat"
map; nevertheless for many days the
barometer was sufficiently low in
Montana and high over the South At
lantic States to cause light southerly
winds and one of the severest hot
waves ever experienced in the United
States.
On the contrary, the maps during
July. 1904, and, indeed, for the en-
tire summer, show condition of un-
usual atmospheric activity. Well-de-
yeloped highs" and lows" passed
eastward across the United States
with great regularity, and northerly
winds and anti-cyclonic conditions
prevailed quite as often as southerly
winds and cyclonic conditions, thus
effectually preventing a single vide
spread hot wave.
By reference to the second chart 1t
will be noticed that in July, 1901,
the average maximum temperature
for ten cities representing the greater
portion of the United States lying
east of the Rocky Mountains. was be-
low ninety degrees only on four days,
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1907-07-11

while for July, 1904, it was above
ninety degrees only on one day.
During July, 1901, the daily maxi
mum temperature at Lincoln, Ne
braska, was 100 degrees or above on
twenty-one days.
In connection with our subject we
can very proftably consider the
warm, dry wind that occurs on the
eastern slope of the Rocky Noun
tains. This remarkable wind is called
the chinook. In Europe a similar
wind is known as the foehn.
The chinooks prevail when a
"high" is crossing Utah and "low"
is passing north of the Dakotas.
Easterly flowing winds result from
such conditions, and as the air rises
in crossing the mountains, its tenn
perature is lowered sufficiently, to
cause clouds and precipitation on the
western slope. If these clouds did
not form, the temperature Of the ris-
ing air would decrease by expansion
about one degree Fahrenheit for
every 1873 feet of ascent; but when
clouds begin to form, further cooling
is greatly retarded by heat that is lib
