While somewhat nettled over the location
of the state convention at Omaha. the Lin
coin politicians are beginning to take It
with better grace. Their difficulty was
that they had come to believe that all the
state conventions belonged to them and that
the offer of any other city to take care Of
the meeting was an attempt to deprive
them of a vested right. The real reason
that the convention came to Omaha was an
appreciation by the members of the COM
mittee of the maJorities Douglas county
has been giving republican state tickets
and the merit OF the appeal for one state
convention in eight or nine years. Another
thing that no doubt told In favor of Omaha
was the contrast of methods pursued
whereby Omaha simply stated It's claims
for recognition, while the Lincoln boosters
appeared to be begging for special favors.

The action Of the republican committee in
putting It up TO the county committees to
say whether they want to elect their dele
gates by caucus or by primary, or whether
they want 10 instruct them by resolution
or by ballot seems to have satisfied all ex-
cept the few radicals. That the practical
difficulties of a statewide primary without
the protection of a primary law to provide
the election officers and safeguard the bal
lots and canvass, are almost insurmoun.-
able, was disclosed by the discussion Even
on the optional plan adopted the practical
difficulties will lbe great e is proposed
for example, TO make UP the ballot In al
phabetical arrangement with the names of
"all announced candidates" for the repub-
lican presidential nomination, but no way
is prescribed for ascertainins what names
must go on. Taft and Cannon and LaFoi-
lette and Knox are no doubt announced
candidates, but Hughes has never an
nounced his candidacy, while Roosevelt has
announced positively that he is not can
didate. To cap the climax, the author OF
the primary plan. himself. amended It to
incorporate a rotating ballot form by
which the names should be changed in or
der of precedence with the printing OF every
500 ballots. If any outside county that has
never had primary election Of this kind
before goes up against this sort OF ro-
tated ballot, republicans there will. for the
first time, realize what Douglas county has
been experiencing by reason Of this sys-
tenn of ballot printiBg.

Cedar Rapids, Jan. 24.-Cedar Rap

course in the future. The first steps
towards organizing it were taken yes
terday afternoon when all students in
the present short course assembled in
the auditorium of the Cedar Rapids
high school. 1t is believed that thi;
will be the first permanent short
course association in the United
States.
Senator Trewin presided and asked
all present who desired to come 10
course to stand TO their feet. Every
person in the audience arose to their
feet in a body He then preached the
subject of organizing at once per-
manent short course association. Be-
fore reading the resolutions that had
been prepared he stated that 1t was
the present plan TO get at least zoo
people to subscribe for membership

officers and board of directors and
launch it as a permanent thing locat-
ed in Cedar Rapids That it Will go
is an assured fact as over thirty five
per cent Of the certificates We're sub
scribed for on the spot and Senator
Trewin was ready to guarantee and
did guarantee that one hundred more
shares would be taken in this city.
And it is the history of any affair of
this kind that when the first third of
the stock is taken it is safe to pre-
sumo that it will be go.
During the discussion it was moved
that committee of three be appoint
ed from each OF the two classes for
the purpose of securing the rest of
the names. The idea is that each
signer shall pledge the sum OF five
dollars, and this shall include one
scholarship in either of the two
courses, it also shall include the first
year or the year of 1908 dues. That
they will pay after the first year all
directors not to exceed the sum of
five dollars. that they shall not be
liable for the debts of the corpora
ton in an amount larger than this
sum and that their private property
shall be exempt, that this organization
shall not assume any of the debts con-
tracted by the present short course
and that it shall assume control of it's
effects or anything of value after it

More Warmth and Sunshine Since

Promises to Be Different.

Special TO Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Jan 24-Unless condi
tions change radically within the com
ing week, January, 1908, will pass into
history as the dryest January on rec
ord and as the warmest January in
twenty-seven years. Figures compiled
by DR.. George NJ Chapel of the Iowa
weather bureau, show that for the first
three weeks of the month, this January
has not been approached as to warmth
and sunshine since 1880.
And as for precipitation, up to yes
terday the month is the only January
within the records of the local office
that had only trace recorded for the
first three weeks.
The precipitation yesterday was .13
of an inch The lightest precipitation
in the first three weeks of any pre-
vious January was IA of an inch In
1902. so that the present month is still
record DTedkeI
Last night the thermometer went
down to above zero. This is the cold
mark for the present winter.
DIR. Chappel's comparisons show that
since the weather office was estab-
lished there have been eleven January
days when the mercury never got
higher than zero.
In 1880. the minimum never got dow
to zero the entire month. The same
condition prevailed in 1891, but the av-
erage was lower than this month has
been. In 1898. the lowest mercury was
2 above zero on the LIST, which equals
the cold mark of the present month. A
year ago yesterday the thermometer
registered above zero and year ago
today It stood at 8 above.
In 1880. January during the first
three weeks was considerably warmer
than the past three weeks have been.
but nothing since that time equals this
January The average maximum In
1890 for the first three weeks was
4S.7, While this year 1t was 40. The
average minimum in 1880 was 296,
while it, was 200 this year. The low
est days temperature that year was
10 on the 18th, while this year 1t was
5 on the 10th. The highest during the
first three weeks Of that month was
63. as against so this year.
But on precipitation. this month has
the extraordinary January of 1880
bested. That year there was .46 inch
es up to and including the 21st AS
stated previously the precipitation this
month including the 21st, was only q
trace.

Standard Oil Wins

trict the famous case of the govern

pany of Indiana. in which the

court, must be retired.
The court of appeals differs with the
trial court on three points, holding
for the Standard Oil company of In
diana which should have been admitted
to show proper intent in the rate the
company paid on oil: that he erred in
considering each car lot seperate Of
fense, and that in imposing the max
imum Inc for first otfense, he abused
the discretion vested in his court.
1T is a strange doctrine,' says the
court, ''whereunder million dollar
corporation such as the defendant
the Standard Oil company OF Indiana
may be fined 20 times the amount of
its capital stock in order to punish a
defendant not even under Indictment
BY this latter is meant the parent COM
pany, the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey.
The decision SAYS that the penalty
should not have been imposed for each
shipment at reduced rate, but instead
for each settlement made by the Stand
ard with the railroad. 1t says there
