IOWA WEATHER.

1t people from Crawford county go
to California Or Florida this winter
it must be for some other reason than
an unsatisfactory condition of the
weather. We venture the assertion
that the weather we are having and
have had for month or more will
compare favorably with that of the
weather OF the extreme southern por-
tion Of the country. We may not have
the flowers that are found on the Pa
cific coast, but we have the sunshine
going about. Ii occasionally we have
crisp morning. we find it has slim
ulating effect althogether in our favor
and these are so infrequent that we
almost sigh for more.
We read Of the storms on the At
lantic and Pacific coasts and of the
waves that wash away the shores and
do much damage to commerce; of the
floods in southern Europe and earth
quakes galore, while here We live
TRANQUILITY from day to day without
any disturbances whatever in nature
We are not compelled to spend our
time in boarding houses or hotels
away from home, but can live in SUI
preme comfort in our own homes, sur
rounded by our old friends and ac-
quaintances. We apprehend that a
great many people are inclined to WIS.,
it other sections of the country in or
der to find pleasure and comfort and
are sorely disappointed when they
reach the section of country holding
out such inducements and find that
home is a better place for realizing
what they sincerely desire than places
they visit. 1t is said that both in
Florida and California there are a
birth of visitors this winter and all
because of the splendid weather en-
joyed in the interior of the country.
Heretofore it has been profitable to
the westerners to have the influx of
people from other sections of the
country to become interested in spec
ulations and to invest heavily in both
city and country property, but this
winter the real estate market is quiet,
both in Florida and on the coast, and
largely because of the failure OF tour
lists to frequent these places on ac-
count of the weather being SO salts
factory ia the north and east. If the
remainder of the winter is no worse
than What we have had, it will prove
a record breaker of all winters in the
past. Ii has been stated for many years
that a long time ago a man came bare
foot in January from his home near
Buck Grove, in this county, to Denison
and suffered no great inconvenience
on account of the cold. This feat
could have been performed number
of times this winter without even a
chill for the one who might have tried
the experiment.

THE MERIT SYSTEM.

The report was heralded throughout
the country a short time ago that con
gress was about to abolish the civil
service SO far as it applied to deputy
postmasters, and that hereafter these
officers would be compelled to
give way to political understrap-
ners. This movement was carried SO
far that in the post Office bill which
was recently considered in the house
a provision was inserted for changing
the law and permitting deputy
postmasters to be put out of office at
the Measure of the postmaster gener-
al. Il is said that this movement had
the endorsement of Mr.. Burleson, the

Out of Mexico.

The United States troops have been
Withdrawn from Mexico, or rather from
the one city, Vera Cruz, of which they
had possession. And thus history has
repeated itself once more. 1t was in
1913 that the first evacuation of that
country took place. Then, as now, it
was done by order OF a Democratic Pres
ident. Good results and closer friend
ship followed the former evacuation and
there are many reasons why that should
be repeated with emphasis this time. In
the former evacuation the local people
in this and adjoining counties had a
more immediate interest because many
of their own fellow citizens had gone TO
the Mexican war. Several companies
had been organized in Kentucy and one
from Daviess county. Not all that vol
unteered could be accepted, because
they were not needed, but the one CON-
panY from Daviess county was in the
war. Nearly all the men returned, as
there were relatively few fatalities to
the Americans. Only limited number
OF Kentucky troops ever got to the fir.
ing line. Practically all who were kill
ed in the skirmish for the occupation of
Vera Cruz in the recent trouble were
from the East and the North and Dav-
less county does not mourn the death of
even one son on Mexican soil.-Oweos-
boro Messenger.
