Idaho, and Nevada however, dropped to from 50 to 10' below normal From two-thrds to three fourths of all the winter days in the United States east of the Mississippi topped the normal in the various regions.
 In New York, N. Y. this the sixth consecu- tive winter warmer than normal Of the last 13 winters there, only three have been below the temperature. In Washington, D. C.. this was the thirteenth winter in succession to be warmer than normal In St. Louis, Mo, 12 of the last 13 winters have been warmer than normal
 These temperatures, added to those already re- corded by the Weather Bureau United States De- partment of Agriculture, some of which go back 100 years, show that seasonal weather conditions from the Mississippi to the Atlantic have changed from year to year in long, broad swings.
 In the Minnesota region, for example the aver agt temperature for the 20 years ended in 1889 was 13 above the longtime normal These first reliable records were taken what is now seen to be the down swing of a warm period. That is, from 1889 a smoothed temperature curve gradually dropped to an average of L. below the long time normal for the 20-year period which ended in 1876 Then the temperature started up again and it has risen fairly regularly ever since. The temperature for the 2O- year period ending in 1892 averaged nearly above normal
 Superimposed on the longtime temperature swing upward in the eastern temperatures as shown by 20-year averages, began in 1906, only to drop back in 1917, 1918 and 1919 It started up again in 1921 however, and has been rising more or less steadily since.

TOO EARLY TO SHOUT.

Michigan, the first State to hold convention the question of repeal of the Eighteenth Amend ment, is certain to vote for repeal Thus the cam paign to take Prohibition out of the Federal Consti tuition and to divorce the Federal Government from enforcement of a law that never should have been other than State statute gets under way with initial victory for the vets.
 This is but skrmish, however And a single victory never won any campaign though it can stimulate the winning side with enthusiasm in it's cause This will inevitably result from the Michigan results.
 It is too early for the vets to bsgn to shout. These days of beer and wine about to come are the most parlous days that have thus far in their long fight to the forces opposed to Prohibition Lib eral organizations apparently realizing the danger of too rollicksome celebration of the return of beer, wise in urging people to greet this beverage with thankulness rather than riotousness The re-advent of beer is of minor importance. The major battle is yet to be fought and won.
 Already the dry forces beginning to score The W. C. T. U has issued bulletin comparing conditions in Finland before and after Prohibition and concluding that every wet promise made in Finland has proved to be false. It matters little whether the bulletin presents accurate picture of conditions in that country; it constitutes chal- lenge that must be met and cannot be met by mere shouting
 Then, too, there is the statement of Col. John E. Edgerton former President of the National Asso- citation of Manufacturers, that the nation has been shocked by the lack of constructive program on the part of opponents of the Eighteenth Amend ment This is putting it a bit strong, but it is enough to set the opponents of Prohibition thinking
 The battle has hardly got under way The guns fired to date serve little except rangefinders The campaign isn't going to be won by saturnalia of beer drinking. It can be helped considerably however if the liberal forces bring the strength of their organizations to bear on and restrain the elements who may through greed conspire to defeat their purposes.

ROOSEVELTS FIRST MONTH.

A summary of the activities of President Roosevelt during the first month of his tenure stirs ones admiration for the amazing rapidity and unpre- cedented vigor with which he has tackled bad job Beginning on March 5, few days elapsed in the next 30 that the President did not move aggressively in a frontal attack some of the emergency problems that beset the Nation.
 The significant dates of the first month of his fast-moving administration

A Great Railroad Man.
(NeW York Times. )

The career of Sir Henry Thornton, whose death in this city yesterday much regret to record, was sufficient evidence that the Age of Romance has not forever gone. His varied executive positions and achievements in the railroad world constituted one of the marvels of his generation Of American birth, he began on the lowest rung of the ladder of the Pennsylvania Railroad and climbed steadily upward until he became General Superintendent of the Lang Island. His repute and record led later to the amazing offer of the management of the Great Eastern Railroad in England That work he undertook in the teeth of much opposition due largely to what embittered Britishers called his being "an undesirable alien" to say nothing of the enormous difficulties thrust upon him by the Great War, but he gradually won his way to confidence and respect. For his war services in particular he received the highest recognition and many honorary awards. Having become Brit ish subject and been knighted, he next invited to the headship of the Canadian National Railways The administration of that large company, with more than 10000 miles of railroad lines he re- success in bringing up the Canadian National from annual deficits into operating profits was regarded at the time of the wonders of skillful rail- way management
 Personally, Sir Henry was a modest and genial gentleman who easily made and kept warm friend ships. His wide experience and quiet sagacy caused many to go to him to seek advice about their own difficult problems. If he had lived longer there can be little doubt that his energy and intelli- gence would have been sought for other large af- fairs. As 1t is, he had full and rounded life which remains an example of what may be done by native ability industry and firm character to show that the romantic element has not yet passed out of the modern world
