The nominations on the | republican ticket were made by voters of the | state as a whole, well aware of what they were doing.

One Sign that is Plain, The reunion of the republicans of Califor- nia bag In it nothing of encouragement for the cGemocrats, In no state in the wag the divislon between the different ele ments sharper than in the Golden State, The logle of events, however, has served to bring the disputants there as elsewhere to a better understanding, and it has been discovered that the causes which led to the break were neither fundamental nor immovable. The patriotic de- pire of the republicans of California, in com- mon with those of the country, Is greater than devotion to issues that can better be adjusted within republiean councils, and that n not be wsuccessfully fostered without, Even the most ardent of the progressives reallzes now that no chance exists for his plans with the bourbons of democracy in control of the coun~ try. The republican party still is the one hope of those who look for advance in the affairs of the United States, California’s example s in- wpiring to all good republicans. unlon republican “Swat the Fly Agaln the health commissioner sounds his warning to housewives and others, that the campalgn against the fly is on. It is not so much against the fly himself, as what he stands for, Flies mean dirt, and dirt means disease. Health and happiness require that cleanline be the rule, To keep clean means to be care- ful, No wort of precaution is proof against carelessness, Screens are efficlent only when properly applied and maintained; the daily de- struction of refuse in which flies and similar yermin breed, and wherein disease germs flour- ish; the general watchfulness over all occupied premises, to see that cleanliness prevails— these are separate steps In the campaign for safety in summer time. Not only i it needed to swat the fly, but to swat him in advance of his existence by removing and preventing condi- tions under which it is possible for him to be born at all. Health and comfort are worth the price asked. v No Cause for Worry. All this worry or suspense over possible complications with Germany Is entirely need- less and unwarranted and a waste of nervous cnergy. How do we know it? Why, we have the positive assurance of that arch Bryan wor- shiper, our old friend, Bdgar Howard, who tells us this without any ifs of ands: After his mission in behalt of peace with Germany shall have been crowned with success, as it will be Bryan will return to the old home state to enjoy A needed and to receive the thanks of every pa- triot on the becauge of his labors in the holy | cause of honorable peace 80, seeing that it is all settled in advance possibly happen to disturb is nothing for any of us rest, prairies, can there and nothing the equilibrium, | sctentitic Defects of Weather Science Garrett P.

In this respect | meteorology falls fur short. The margin of error in ita calculations is sometimes enormous—sufficient to completely reverse a prediction.

The conduct of the weather during the last three months has been sufficlently surprising to show how immensely desirable It is that we should have soms means of forecasting the varying character of the sea- sons, Whet recognizabls causes have been at work to make the present spring so different from the corre- sponding season in 19157 A slight variation In the in- tensity, or quality, of the radiation recelved from the | sun might account for these things, and recent in- vestigations show that such variations occur, but what is needed is more accurate knowledge about them and thelr effects. The present Is a perlod of maximum sun-spotted- ness, and generally when spots are numerous and large on the sun the air temperatures on the earth are lower, and, In some reglons, storms are more fre- qlent and violent.
