Chicago might well ‘adopt as her official song, “I Don’t Care Becomes of Me.” ‘What When that city will say, 17,000 strong, that it ‘wishes to return to a man like Harrison and the things he stands for instead of decency and progress as outlined by the repub- lican candidate, Merriam, it goes to show that Chicago is getting mno better fast. Several months ago Merriam took up the task of delving into the different city departments to out into drag public view what it had long been known existed—graft, un- swindling of the money, ~deception and He performed his work so well that there was an increase in the penal colony at Joliet. lawtul practices, taxpayers' corruption. Having thus shown himself to be a student in municipal government and a man of fearless character and uutiring energy, men of means who believed Chicago was at:last ready! to take its place along with the other | respectably governed cities of the country. prevailed upon Professor Merriam to become a candidate for mayor and an ideal candidate he was! He stood for everything which the Harrison administrations of the past have not stood for—for enforcement of all the laws, for strict municipal honesty, for suppression of gambling and strict control of evil resorts, for police graft, for a safe and sane and moral city gov-‘ no tolerance of ernment. | But the voice of Chicago on Tues-| day said,—“No, we do not care so much about reform and advance- do ‘Hink Carter H. and “persmml 1lib- and personal liberty in this case means nothing more nor less than a ment and Dink’, erty,” decency as we “wide open” town and to 'l with the lid. The friends of Mr. Harrison claim that his own personal popularity. and his declaration in favor of 70 cent gas are the two things which made his defeat tmposaible, DUT 1€ 13 a good guess that the average citizen who voted for Harrison will admit that he did so because he favors the old time conditions. Some blame for the Merriam de- feat may be traced to the better classes who, because it was'raining, failed to vote. A man who fails'to vote because there happens to be a raincloud in the sky is not much of an aid to the reform movement. Professor Merriam says he is not discouraged at the showing he made and that there is a real awakening to the need of improved civic condi- tions and that at some election to come these forces must of necessity win, and the anxious nation sighs,— “We hope so, and God hasten the day." JOHN JOHNSON, ESQ. Behind the chilled steel bars of the San Francisco city bastile, one John as “Lil heavyweight languishes as Johnson, otherwise known Arthur,” champion pugilist of the world, well he may languish. Jack has been arrested and paid a fine in every city from Kankakee to, Medicine Hat on the charge of hav- ing exceeded the speed limit with his big red automobile. In San Fran- cisco the judge decided that a fine was not severe enough punishment and so sent Jack to jail, and there is a general feeling that he a wise and upright brave judge. judge-—yea, even a Now although Mr. Johnson was for twenty-five days he is trying hard, after having failed in an effort to secure an appeal, “to obtain a parole, but in this he seems likely to fail.

In a moment of Jack went down for He may be able to come back—but not for twenty-five days, which goes to show that even the California statutes have some good only “sent up" carelessness, the count. in them. THE WEATHER BUREAU. Next to the mother-in-law joke, the one about the Weather Man, is the most numerous of the many petty libels which continue to cir- culate under the guise of humor. Of course many of the things said la result they are saved tended to be taken with no more seriousness than the oft repeated fiction, “you can’t believe anything the newspaper says.” By some kink in psychology & varying num- ber of humans ‘needs must rid their systems of slurs about the accuracy of the weather forecasts; and a very | large majority of said humans have no more ‘idea of the vast amount of study, work and expense assumed by the government to protect the pub- lic by weather changes than a blind baby has of the beauty of a master painting. Those who profit most by the daily warnings are the best witness- es the government could call if it were to attempt to prove that its Weather Bureau is worth its price. Shippers and agricultural men put great faith in the forecasts and as | | thousands : upon thousands of dollars every year. With meteorology an inexact‘ science, it is of necessity an im-| possibility for the government to| tell just what sort of weather mayt positively be expected tomorrow, the| next day or next week. Neverthe-' less enough of the science has been | mastered that, with the aid of the' complete telegraphic daily | received, it is possible to forecast radical changes, and this is done— not now and then, | codes but ‘every day, year after year. If there is to be a’sudden drop in| the temperature, the Weather | Bureau flashes out the .cold wave signal and perishable vegetables are cared for; the Bureau sends out & hurricane warning and sailors prepare for a gale; a storm starts in the west and the east is warned, and so the good work goes on. . The Weather Bureau, of can not tell the exact number of raindrops that ''will fall, nor' how many -bushels of snow 'the blizzard from the: north’will leave, but it can and ‘does tell us when the rain course, land snow is coming, and if skeptics would take as much trouble to check up the official forecasts as they do in ridiculing this branch of its pub- lic work, the Weather Bureau would have ‘more the praise which it de- i serves.
