Colorado Republicans are going to

pected that the occasion will bring
together Republicans of all shades
TO grid up their loins for the coming
campaign. says the Colorado Springs
Telegraph. Incidentally, there will
be meeting of the state central
committee of the party and of Repub-
iican editors. A date will be set for
holding congressional and state con-
ventions which will elect Colorado
delegates to the Republican national
convention which meets in Chicago on
June z. In a presidential year, there
is always good deal of work to be
done in selecting time and place for
the preliminary conventions prior to
the big national gathering. The Re-
publicans this year are manifesting
large degree on interest, due to the
fact that they are very confident of
electing their ticket next November.

A Rainy Month

Topeka, June With the sim
gle exception of 1908, when all
Kansas was visited by heavy
rains, the heaviest rainfall for
May in the history of the state
fell during the last mouth, ac-
cording to figures compiled from
the records of the sectional Of
flee of the weather bureau here.
The average rainfall for the en-
tire state was approximately is
inches against a normal rainfall
for May of about inches. The
rainfall of May 1898, the "year OF
the big food" exceeded the last
month by only an inch, the Of
fetal report showing an average
rainfall for the entire state of
S.l57 inches.
"The excessive rains of the
last half of the month soaked
the ground more thoroughly
thanit has been for several years
and stored moisture in the sub
sail that has been badly needed
since the drought of 1915"
a state house stats tician, with
nose for figures, has decided
that the rainfall in Kansas dur
ing the last month amounted to
10, 5SS, loss, sos, $50 gallons-the
figures mean nothiug-they are
too big to be comprehensive, but
then he brings it down to oEInited
States language and declares the
water would have covered the
whole OF Dickinson county to a
depth OF sixty feet, or it would
have filled practically full "a tow
eG- a mtle square and ter. miles
straight up in the air. ON be-
Iiag told the amoEut OF water
that feR in Kansas in May, Chas
Sessions, secretary to the Gov
'ernor, insisted upon gong into
further figures and decided if it
bad been placed in ordinary tank
cars it avould have made a train
long enough to reach nearly a
g uarter of the way to the sun, or
%ould haYe belted the earth with
tank cars about nluety times.

Harvest Delayed

The fact that the month of
May was below normal both in
temperature and sunshine, and
conditions unimproved during
the first three days of June, har-
vest is quite certain to be some
what delayed in this county. and
the same condition is true in
large number of other counties
in Kansas, Reports from many
localities state that harvest will
not begin earlier that the 10th.
From that date until the first
week in July, under present con-
dltionS, seems TO be reasonable
estimate for the time of beginn-
ing.
The big crop to be harvested
in this state has caused many
unemployed men in the east to
drift westward, and as a result
of weather conditions, they have
arrived from two to three weeks
ahead of harvest, and being with
out money, many of them are
compelled to beg until they can
find employment. 1t is true of
course, that among the nun Der
stopping in each community, are
those who are not looking for
work, but the larger percent are
men whom lack of employment
has forced to their present
plight. If the worthy ones could
be provided with sufficient EN-.
ploymeut to earn their board un-
til harvest begins, and the un.
worthy ones invited to move on
it would be better for all con
cerned, and the problem of suf
ticient help 20 take care of thu
1915 crop would be partially
solved.

Bryan on Armaments

I'll challenge the doctrine now
being taught that we must enter
into mad rivalry with the Old
World in the building of battle
ships-the doctrine that the on
ly way to preserve peace IS to
get ready for wars that ought
never to come! 1t is barbar-
Gus, brutal, unchristian doctrine
the doctrine of the darkness,
not the doctrine of the dawn.
Nation after nation, when at
the zenith of It's power, has pro-
claimed itself invincible because
its army could shake the earth
with its tread and it's ships could
fill the seas, but these nations
are dead, and we must build up
on different foundation if we
would avoid their fate.
Carlyle in the closing chap
ters of his French Revolution
says that thought is stronger
than artillery parks and at last
moulds the world like soft clay.
Carlyle is right. Love is the
greatest power in the world.
The nations that are dead boast
ed that their flag was feared; let
it be our boast that our flag is
loved. The nations that are
dead boasted that people bowed
before their flag; let us not be
content until our flag represents
sentiments so high and holy that
the oppressed of every land will
turn their faces toward that flag
and thank God that there is one
flag that stands for self govern
ment and for the rights of man."
