Tho Remarkable Weather Of 1911.

The year 1911 will long be remem-
hered for the violence OF it's weather.
The spring opened mild and delightful,
but in June n tnrrid wave Of unparal-
lelled severity swept over the country.
The cities baked and gasped for
breath, while the burning sun and hot
winds withered the corn and cost the
farmers a million dollars a day. "A lit
tie later England was scorched and
France and Germany sweltered. The
mercury went above 100 degrees in
western Canada, and whalers brought
hack reports from the Arctic regions
Of open water where always before
there had been solid fee. The reports
from Mexico and Central America
would well describe the lower regions,
but it is said that the summer in Ice
land was enjoyable.
In August the elements took a differ
emit turn and the flood gates of the
heavens were opened. Kentucky and
the south Atlantic states were deluged,
and the Philippines were more thor
oughly drowned than they had been
before since the time Of Noah. Alberta
was visited by killing frost which
ruined hundreds of pioneer farmers. A
cyclone devastated Costa Rica and a
violent gale swept the south Atlantic
coast, destroying q great number OF
vessels. During the later fall, the north
Atlantic was tormented by series of
more violent storms than were known
to the Oldest sea captains. In Novem4
Der the southern states were visited by
a killing frost while December was
remarkable for it's high temperatures.
Aside from the extreme heat, the
frosts from the far north and the sun
ny south, and the violent storms at
sea, the year 1911 was still exception
al. The mean temperature of every
month except November was above the
average OF that Of the forty years COW
cred by the records of the United
States weather bureau. The average
daily excess was from four to six de-
grees.
With only one month out Of twelve
below normal, one may we'll ask If the
climate is not changing and getting
warmer This important question Is
discussed by Francis Molena. in the
March Popular Mechanics Magazine.
He says:
Since burning coal produces carbon
dioxide it may be inquired whether the
enormous use OF that fuel in modern
times may not be an important factor
in filling the atmosphere with this sub
stance, and consequently in indirectly
raising the temperature OF the earth.
In the United States about 100000, 900

be prevented. II this should occur and
the convention should be unable TO de.
eide on the first few ballots. then; Sena-
tor Cummins, II properly backed by
Iowa, would have good opportunity
to get liberal support. It is figured
that he will have considerable num-
Der Of delegates outside OF the state,
mostly among progressives, and that
If LaFollette remains out of the contest
the number Of votes he will have will
be larger. The anti-third term men, II
the could not nominate Taft, would be
more likely to turn to Cummins than
to Roosevelt.
It may be said that because Iowa is
sure to be in the republican column a
candidate from this state has no
chance for recognition. But 1t should
be borne in mind that Iowa under the
leadership Of Cummins as governor
took a place in the. front rank Of west
ern progressive states, and Kansas, Ne
braska and Wisconsin often look to
Iowa for suggestions and ideas. Cum
Minis is popular in these states, and if
there is discomfort iii them as a result
of present conditions he would be pre-
ferred to any other candidate that is
likely to be suggested as a third party
to the contest.
Some of the old guard newspapers In
Iowa are declaring that the trusts
have vowed to destroy Taft and that
Cummins knows it and it is to further
the scheme that he has announced that
he will be candidate. But those who
use such an argument forget that Cum
Minis was fought by the corporations in
Iowa, and that it is not very likely that
he would be preferred. There would be
nothing gained.
1t is just question OF whether Iowa
prefers to do nothing or wishes to be
in position to take advantage Of
deadlock should one occur. 1t is quite
within the realms of possibility that
the men now talking about Roosevelt's
chances may switch to Cummins at any
moment if the anti third term talk gets
stronger. If this greater Iowa move
ment is to amount to anything. poll
ticians as well as others must be for
Iowans first and others afterward.

NEITHER SENSE NOR JUSTICE.

lM3pleLOn I'TSSS.J
AS republican we are getting very
tired of the southern republicans, who
to a large extent are only in politics
for the offices, holding the balance OF
power in republican national conven-
tions.
The republican party in the south IS
nothing more than a JOKE. II has no
standing to speak of, and it hasn't the
respect of the southern people.
It's only strength is at convention
time. when it hobs up and demands TO
he recognized equally with the states
Of the north of about the same popula-
ton.
This group of states that hasn't
elected republican elector in thirty
years, and has no prospect of electins
one in the next thirty, often names the
candidate for the republican states 10
elect.
1t isn't good sense. and it isn't JUS
tice to allow this skeleton of party
to have such a powerful position in
the conventions
It is a splendid asset Of machine
politics. and we think this is the rea-
son the custom is kept alive.
The delegates to the republican ma
tional convention should be based on
the vote of the republican party at
the preceding general election.
Let these southern politicians con-
duct themselves and the party in their
section in such a manner as to get the
votes Of the people. Otherwise let them
keep the place that rightfully belongs
to them.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

not lose sight Of the fact that there are
million or so of each party waiting

ticket" points out the Thompson Cour-
Ter. These are the men who will elect
the next president of the United States.

Scranton is bad enough, and in
Cherokee a grand Jury has been in

high school and has returned one in
dictment. In any town where this
booze fighting business gets a good
start among boys and young men the
girls aren't safe, either, and there is a
general lowering of moral standards
among young people" says the Scran-
ton Journal. 1.-THE Journal isn't calling
attention to these conditions just for
the purpose OF saying something un-
pleasant about the people Of neigh
boring town. but because while we are
discussing the important question CT
the hour in our opinion this question
of our twentieth century boys and girls

There is hardly proprietor or capital

men realize the encouragement Of
health, character and mentality which
would be maintained thru the institu-
ton Of a commodious Y. w. G. A. with
parlors, gymnasium and dormitory?
The influence Of the proposed home
would not be limited to the homeless
girls of the city but would touch in
some way nearly every home in the
city. General attention to the char
acter of the young womanhood of the
city on the streets and in the stores
would be one more influence for good
or one less influence for evil upon the
girl in your home who mingles with
others as all normal girls do.
Waterloo owes her young women
common home for social, moral. men,
