Indeed, according to tho Vatican idea
O. the American hierarchy. they repre-.
sent the chief types Of the Catholic
clergy of the United States-Archbisho
Ryan as the last and best champion %
the irish clergy translated and trans
planted In America. Mgr. Farley as the
head OF the greatest archdiocese in
America, Mgr. ireland as a thorough
American representative OF the Catholic
sririt in tho now continent. and finally
Archbishop O'Connell as the youngest
and most direct emanation of present
Catholic Rome. They are all among tho
nnost worthy prelates the Catholic Church
rcssesses, not only in America, but
throughout the Catholic world.
There 10 no doubt that MGR. O'Conneil
when rector Of the American College
hero. managed to get so rooted in the
hearts of prominent ecclesiastics now at
the helm Of affairs that ne IL among the
most likely to be chosen. Still, there
are many difficulties in the way as he

ANSWERS HIS CRITICS.
Chief OF the Weather Bureau Explains
the InaugurntIon Day storm.

II n not usual TO answer criticisms OF
the forecasts Of the Weather Bureau.
but the hundreds ~ press clippings that
have been received since March I on
tanning adverse criticisms Of the Bureau
seem TO call for this statement from mo.
Forecasts of the Weather Bureau are
before the public every day In the year.
In the past about one prediction out OF
each ten failed to be verified. and It
NAY be expected that the same ratio Of
failure will he maintained until meteor
ology can be made, what 1t is not now,
an exact science.
In the case Of the storm that visisted
Washington on the ith day of March
last. the fact /. that the disturbance be-
gan here on the morning OF the 3rd, and
was accurately forecasted the day be-
fore The bureau anticipated that tho
storm would pass over the Middle
Atlantic states during the night OF the
ard. and that northwest winds and fall
ing temperatures would leave clear
day for the 4th. The center passed pre-
csely as forecasted. the wind shifted
and the temperature fell but instead OF
the northwest wind clearing the sky,
as It does in nearly ell cases. prec!pita-
ton in the form az snow occurred and
continued for twelve hours after the
storm center had passed eastward. No
forecaster could foresee this, Were we
10 forecast a fall OF snow following the
| massage Of storm centers that move from
| the northwest. We would have hundreds
| OF failures charged TO US instead Of an
oeca sional one, for il Is rare that snow
| falls in the Middle Atlantic States except
with the approach Of storm from tho
| southwest which causes northeast
winds, and it Is extremely rare that any
storm in thi. region that begins with
| rain ends with snow OF any conSiderah'e
amount. On the contrary. many storms
that begin as snow end as rain.
The forecast In question WAS made by
| one Of the most experienced forecasters
| of the bureau and was concurred In by
all Of the forecasters who were CONVEX
SAINT with the conditions. and the same
forecast would be made to-day II SINH
lar conditions existed
The forecasters OF tie l.. S. Weather
Bureau are tho equals, II not the SUI
periors. Of any others in the world, and
their predictions Of frosts, cold waves,
foods. and marine storms. although sub
iect TO error In the proportion OF about
one to ton are Of such value to the ms
duetries Of the nation that II one OF the
newspapers that now SO freely critictse
because two unverified forecasts for the
District Of Columbia have fallen or in
ausuration day were to omit from Its
pages the daily predictions Of tho wealth
err its readers would compel II to restore
them, and n the department or Congress
we're to close a station Of the Bureau ir
any part o. the United States the prop
erty interests would demand its restora
ton. This would not he the case II thu
hysterical abuse that Is now being IN
dulged In was justified.
