February Was a Cold Month But the
Snow Helped.

A summary of weather observations
at 125 stations of the weather bureau
well distributed over Kansas shows
that February. 1913. was the 5th coolest
February on record. but was a favor
able month none the less on account Of
the heavy precipitation, most of which
fell as snow.
The month was also characterized tT
the lack of pronounced temperature
changes and cold waves. The amount
of sunshine enjoyed was slightly less
than normal
In 26 years time there have been but
6 Februarys during which more precipi-
tation has fallen in Kansas, and only
one in the past 10 years in which the
snowfall materially exceeded that of
this month.
This snowfall was of much benefit as
the state had received only a little
more than half the normal precipita-
ton during each of the three preceding
months and the ground was unusually
dry at the end of January. The snow
drifted less than it usually does in
Kansas and, as it fell on unfrozen
ground. the soil was well soaked when
it melted.
The average temperature of the state
was % degrees which is 4 degrees be-
srees colder than January of this year
and degrees colder than February a
year ago The highest tempera ture re-
corded in the state was as degrees on
the 18th at Pleasanton and the lowest

Presidential Family Attends Theater
in Washington.

Washington, March S.-The national
capital is discussing the Jeffersonian
simplicity of President Wilson's move
ments. as evidenced in the attendance
of the Wilson family at a downtown
theater last night Few of the audience
knew of the arrival of the president, for
Mr.. Wilson had requested that the
usual formality of playing The Star
SpangIed Banner" upon his entrance
be dispensed with. The only decora-
ton on the presidential box was
shield bearing the presidents insignia
There was further evidence of lack of
pomp. Only one secret service man
kept guard over the person of the pres
ident and the police guard was not
increased The negro footmen in the
White House livery. with red. white
and blue cockades were the only other
attendants.

Everyone knows that Seth Wells
lives at Erie. and everyone is begin
ming to realize that Senator Ben
Paulen lives at Fredonia. The con-
nection is easy. and goes something
like this: Last year, one Seth Wells

held that Senator Cambern, who is
one of the best fellows in the world.

had been taken 'up into the noun

longer a hard-shell Republican, but
was under suspicion of being bull

little red necktie and his big white
hat, and beat it for Fredonia. Rush

ate. And it is generally suspected
that the popularity of the Junction
City merchant had more to do with
his election than did any politics in
volved. That strong Republican dis
trict was so rabidly Democratic after
the primary that it took a good man
to get past first base on a Republican
ticket, and Loring Trott was the good
man.
Senator Trott is a quiet man. He is
not inclined TO wave the grand old
flag or spread eagle feathers all over
the senate floor. but he votes right
and talks right when there is some

the session was in opposition to Sen

his speech was highly gratifying to

RAILROADS HIT HARD BY THE
HIGH COST OF LIVING"
(By Associated Press.l

i Washington, Nov. 24.-That the
railroads have been hit hard by the
high cost of living but have not
| been allowed to raise the rates suffi
cient to meet it, was the declaration
today of Daniel Willard, president oil
the Baltimore and Ohio, before the in.
terstate commerce commission, and
asking permission to increase the
freight rates.
Willard asserted that the railroad
earnings for three years past would
not inspire the support of an invest
ing public. He declared that the
profits of the railroads in the terri
tory asking for an increase in rates
had dwindled sixteen million dollars.
and said they had spent two hundred
millions each year in improvements.
He also called attention to the in
creased pay of railroad employees and
the liabilities imposed by the legis-
latures.
Statistics to show that the operat-
ing expenses had increased faster
than the gross earnings during the
last three years We're presented by
George NJ. Schriver. vice president of
the Baltimore and Ohio.
Frederick A. Delaney, president of
the Wabash, and George Stuart Pat
terson, general solicitor for the Penn
sylvania road, also argued for increas-
ed rates.
The hearing is considered of the
utmost Importance to all roads in the
United States. If an increase in
rates is granted it may be extended
to all the railroads throughout the
country.
At the opening of the hearing there
were approximately two hundred and
fifty representatives of fifty-two east
ern railroads present.
Louis B. Brandeis, one of the at
torneys for the commission, has been
retained as counsel to develop facts
in opposition to the proposed rate in
crease.

NOTES FROM w. C. T. U. coNvEN.
TON AT ST. AUGUSTINE
LAST WEEK

On Wednesday evening each depart
ment superintendent made a spectac
uiar demonstration of her department
concluding with a grand march down
each aisle of the church.
The Loyal Temperance Legion, OF
which Mrs. George w. Martin of this
city is superintendent, and the Sunday
school temperance department, led by
Mrs. o. D. Wethuill of Tampa, were
by far the sweetest, prettiest and best
because the picture presented was
made up of st. Augustine's pretty chill
dren. Mrs. Harry Packhams was also
extremely pretty. representing purity
in literature and art
Mrs. Mabel Stevens of Gainesville
gave her matchless Bible readings
several times.

Friday night we heard this "Geor-

in the opera house, the men of st. Au-
gustine having furnished the place
for this meeting.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. and
Mrs. Vardaman of ST. Augustine, the
entire delegation was taken out to the
beach early Thursday morning, where
they held a seaside prayer service,
and had breakfast at the Chautauqua
building.
There was an automobile parade at

BIG PROJECT FOR ocALA
The Canal Proposition Means a Com
merciaI EVolution-A New
Dawn For Us

That Jacksonville, Tampa and 9th
er wholesale distributing points in
the state will have to hustle for their
laurels when Ocala and Marion coun-
ty realize their canal plans of con-
Meeting the Withlacoochee river with
Silver Springs, is the challenge which
was held out by ]. D. Rooney, secre-
tary of the Ocala board of trade, while
here yesterday. Mr. Rooney has been
an attendant at the Mississippi to At
lantic Waterways Association at Pa
latka, and the convention of the At
lantic Deeper Waterways Association
here last week.
Canal Survey Completed
The preliminary survey for the pro-
posed new canal in Marion county
B. Dunning, c. E., with offices in
Jacksonville Besides this work, Mr.
Rooney says there is a great and
growing sentiment for the project in
his town and county. Besides the ca
nal project, there is also substan-
tial plan on foot for damming the
Withlacoochee river for the erection
of a hydro-electric plant, with a ca
pacity of between three and FIVE
thousand horsepower
With these big improvements ready
to start and such coupled with the
fact of Ocala's central position, Sec
rotary Rooney says that Jacksonville
wholesalers will in a few years have
to face competition from one of the
liveliest cities of the country.
Times-Union a Booster
Referring to the special stories and
illustrations of the canning club work
among the girls of the state, as are
carried by the Times-Union each
week, the we'll known secretary de-
scribes this as the greatest feature of
any publication in Florida. He feels
that there is a great sermon on house
hold economics and progress general
" each week outlined in the illus
trated pages of the canning club
work.
Mr.. Rooney declined to state just
what he would do toward accepting
or rejecting the office of secretary of
the Jacksonville Real Estate Ex-
change in connection with the rumor
that he is one of the men the execu-
tive committee has on it's list as being
considered as the next secretary of
the body. Incidentally, Mr.. Rooney
thinks that a real estate exchange is
a great factor for any community.
Waterways Work
In connection with the success of
the two waterways conventions and
their future influences for the well
being of the states water courses,
Mr.. Rooney was enthusiastic yester-
day. He feels that important legis-
lation for waterways projects in Flor
ida will be directly aided by the work
in the future of the Mississippi to At
lantic Inland Waterways Association.

Recorder Broyles recently sentenc-
ed a young woman to pay fine for
using her umbrella on the head of a
white chauffeur who she claims in
suited her. He commended her for
doing what she did. yet said that the
law was mandatory, and that he was
compelled to assess the fine. 1t is
decisions like this that lead to a dis
regard of law and administering pun
ishment outside of its pale. 1t
strikes us that Recorder Broyles
should not only have commended the
young woman, but acquitted her. and
had her insulter arraigned and sum-
marily punished.
