On Inferior Weather *
Bureau Service.
Badger l ake , Nebr. , Marcl ) 27 ,
1911. To the Editor of The Val
entine ljeraocrat : What has be
come of the weather man ? When
it.is fine weather he sends out re
ports , but when a blizzard is com
ing he has nothing to say. Sun
day-morning started in with one
of the worst blizzards since ' 92 ,
and the weather man never' utter
ed * a sound of warning. New
Year TSlizxard no word of warning
was sent out , and now , if the govr-
efnment'is going to pension these
fellows because they supported
Burkett or some other special. in
terest , why not put them on the
pension list and then the people
won't expect anything from them ?
If some of these weather men had ,
t : pull old cows out of lakes and
apd'.creeks by the tail in a blizzard
he would ) n > w a little more about
sending out reports.
W. 11. HARN-AN :
This is in line with what The
Democrat has before stated in .re-
gar'8 'to weather reports for * the
stock industry of 'this country.
While the government is spend-
jng thousands for moving the army
around , just to show other coun
tries how quick we can move , to
scare 'em to death , the weather
bureau service is being neglected ,
-cutting off .employees here and
there when new stations should be
opened
. S * * \ t
Spend more money for some
thing that means "protection to
American citizens who are expect
ed to shout for the flag , yea , and
fight for it , and more , to fight
other countries to protect ' 'Ameri
can interests , " or Wall street
financiers in plain English.
Give us more of real value and
slop some of these big four flush
es and useless big army demon
strations. ' - > c. *

Legislative News. .

coming to a close will stand thr

answer just now. The senutc lia--
