A Strong Presentation.
Former Secretary of State, Knox makes a
strong presentation of tho case against repeal
of the clause exempting Amorican coastwise
shipping from Panama canal tolls. Not only
does Mr. Knox apeak with as much authority
on the subject as can anyone, but he fortlfleF
himself from his own official experience and
communications in answer to Great Britain's
claims and protests under tho treaty.
Mr. Knox makes out clearly the sovereign
right of tho United States to protect and stlmu
lato its own shipping Interests, If it desires,
by remission of tolls, and thus to glvo our own
people benefits from the canol as returns on
their Investment and risk to which tho people
of other nations are not entitled. He shows,
further, that the uso of tho canal on tindlscrim
Inatlng terms by other nations Is made de
pendent upon their observance of such rules as
wo may prescribe, and there is no obligation to
bind our own shipping by tho same rules as that
of foreign nations.
The main point of It all is that Mr. Knox es
tablishes conclusive grounds for us to stand on
In contending that the tolls exemption clause In
vades no other nation's troaty rights. If that
bo conceded, or be conceded even to bo a con
troversial question, thon the pica of President
Wilson for repeal loses all its force, becauso the
only reason advanced by him is the Impairment
of prestlgo which wo would suffer abroad by
not living up to tho promise made In tho treaty.
The sole argument offered by him to Induce
democrats who had voted for tolls exemption to
reverse themselves, and in so doing to repudiate
the plank in the Baltlmoro platform explicitly
endorsing freo tolls, is tho necessity of living
up to the more sacred and moro binding promise
in tho troaty.
As we have more than onco said, pcoplo may
honestly differ as to tho policy of favoring our
own coastwise trade, but with tho pretense ol
tho troaty obligation removed, tho president has
no right to ask tho members of congress to slnt;
tholr own convictions on tho subject, and voto
to repeal a law which they themselves helped
to enact, and In whose wisdom they still believe.

Distrust of Legislature.
OMAHA, May 11. To the Editor of The
Bee; Your editorial on 'Distrust of Leg
islatures" Is useful because It Is Instruc
tive, but neither It nor the conclusions of
Governor O'Neal entirely disposes of the
topic. We are stilt aufferlng from the
swing of the pendulum that led the "con
stitutional fathers to separate as far as
possible the legislative and executive
functions of government. Their experi
ment of adding the Judiciary as the third
element of the governmental trilogy hAS
had the undesirable effect of establish
ing a sort of fetich worship, with the
courts as the object of popular adora
tion, or objurgation, as the course of
Judicature may square with public opin
ion or desires. This devotion to a fetich
establishes In the minds of the masses a
notion that remedial legislation Is always
efficacious, which notion. In Its turn.
leads to the conclusion, equally fallacious,
that all evils may be cured by legisla
tion, and this brings about the continual
experimentation by lawmakers.
I would add to the suggestion of Gov
ernor O'Neal that the executive bo com
bined with the legislative, and that the
Judicial be restricted to Its proper func
tion of administering the laws. And
when this has been accomplished I would
further suggest that a distinct effort be
made to clear the minds of all people of
the foolish Idea that evil of any or every
sort will vanish simply because prjhlbl-
tofy laws havo been pasred.

SOMEWHERE, May .11. ToC the Editor
of; The Bee: Yturblde sailed for Europe
In January, ls3. On July 14, 1823, he re
appeared and landed near' Tamplco, . was
captured, and soon afterwards shot to
death ,by order of Santa Anna. Thus
e'ndedtho. career of, the first emperor.
It' Is "a groat pity, "that, when he left
this world, he did not take Santa Anna
along with him.
At tints time Santa Anna was 2? or 8
years of age. For the next, thirty years
or, more, tho biography of Santa Anna Is
thi history of his unhappy country. It
Is beyond tho province of this article to
go Into the details of his career. Nero
was hardly more cruel. The Benedict
Arnold of history and the lago of fiction
could hardly eclipse him in Infamy.
After the Independence of Mexico, the
Mexicans divided themselves Into two
parties, the clericals and the liberals.
Santa Anna, Mlramon and the other ras
cals lined up on the side of tho church
Though Santa Anna never Joined a party
or attached himself to a man that he did
not afterwards betray. Born at Jalape.
In 1795 or t94, he had received a mili
tary education. Santa Anna served
agnlnst Hidalgo and Morelos mentioned In
previous articles; attached himself to the
fortune of Yturblde, to whom he owed
his advancement to the offlfe Of brigadier
general. As before mentioned, he effected
the overthrow of his benefactor, yet
both were rascals; and the misfortune of
either was the happiness of Mexico. Tho
Ins and outs of Santa Anna are diversi
fied reading. First dictator, next prest
dent then exile, he kept Mexico In a per
petual turmoil.
I have said Mexicans were divided Into
two parties, clericals and liberals. To
show what call there was for a liberal
party, let facts speak for themselves;
sixty-five years ago, the population of
Moxlco was more than T.OCO.OOO. The
country contained 1M monastarles and
nunneries, with a monastic population of
2.OJ0 nuns and 1,700 monks. The seculor
clergy did not number 8,200, The num
ber nsslgned to each priest, monk or
curate would make a respectable city.
The annual revenue of the church, which
wt-nt to this body of men less than 5,000
was more than 190,000,000, or more than
$18,000 tq each. The entire real estate of
Mexico was valued at liSO.OOO.OOOt of this
the church owned JJTO.OOO.OUO. In othur

latlon owned one-third of the real estate.

Talk About the Weather
An Explanation of How Official
Forecasts Are Made by the Bureau.
Editorial Pen Points
Unties of th? Wcathrr Man.
The great variety of weather turned loose In this
country. In and put of season, keeps weather sharps
on the Jump to make their forecasts measure up with
results. How does the weather man do It? The ques
tion was put up to the chief of tho weather man In
Washington by the Brooklyn Eagle correspondent,
and the Department of Agriculture furnished the
answer following:
Tho weather forecaster does not look out of the
window and guess. Ho Is not weatherwlse like the
old salt who scenM the approach of a storm without
knowing how. To the signs by which the orainary
citizen decides whether to take his umbrella with him
or leave It at home he pays no attention. Give him
Ills telegraph wires nnd he can make his predictions
as accurately In a wlndowless cellar aa on the top of
New York's highest skyscraper.
"Twice a clay, at 8 o'clock In the morning and 6
'clock In the evening, reports are telegraphed to
Washington from about 2W observers stationed In as
many different localities In the United States and
Canada. In these reports the observers do not voiun-
eer their personal opinions about what Is going to
happsn. They confine themselves to a Plain siaie-
ment of the actual conditions at that particular mo
ment, the pressure, or weight, of the atmosphere; the
temperature, the direction and velocity or tne wino,
the amount of rain since the last report, and so forth.
From this Information tho weather map of the United
States Is made up, showing the conditions that pre
vail In every part of the country. 8lnce there are two
maps for each day, It Is obvious that ny comparing
them a forecaster can keep track of the course and
progress of both storms nnd periods of clear weather.
From that, the next step Is to predict wnat son 01
weather will prevail for a day or two In any given
locality.
"This map Is the basis for all scientific weainer
forecasting, A glance at It will show mat 11 is
divided into 'high pressure areas' and low pressure
areas.' These are technical terms used to describe
the regions In which the weight or pressure of the
atmosphere Is great (high) or small (low). At sea
level, the baromoter, which is used to measure ths
weight, will register thirty inches under normal con
ditions of tho1 atmosphere. When It registers more than
this, sny 30.5 or 31. the pressure Is 'high;' when 23.5 01
less, 'low.' In this way the height of a column of
mercury In a barometer Indicates the weigm or tne
air, Just- as In a thermometer it Indicates tne tem
perature.
H peril of Storms.
"Low prebsure usually means strong winds, rain
and rising temperature; cool, clear weather. For a
reason to be explained later these 'highs' and 'lows,'
as they are galled,, travel In a general direction from
wont n east. The' forecaster notes tneir progress on
the map, perceives their speed and their route, nnd
then predicts the tlmo or xneir arrival i oi.vw....
point. If they traveled, like a snip sjecrcti oy u-
pass, an exact course to the cast, ana 11 iney mo

largo bodies of water and many other things which
niako weather prophesying the complicated science
that It Is. The skeleton of the science, however. Is
the progressive of those 'highs' and 'lows' eastward
across the country.
Thi. nrntrmsa Is caused by the shape of the earth
and the well known fact that hot air . rises. The
(rnii un in tho regions along the equator neais
great masses of air, which rise and drift toward the
north and south pole. As the earth revolves from
west to east these masses cjre carried along iron 11
at the same speed, uui, as is ci, n"",
equator revolves much faster than the ple. which
are practically stationary, in much the same way as
thn rim of a wheel revolves faster man me nun
Therefore, these masses of air, revolving at tne same
,o tho mutator, begin, as Uley approacn me
poles, to move much faster than the earth beneath
them. There Is a constant movement of the atmos
phero from west, to east, a movement which becomes
more marked the nearer one gets to me poico.
fitsnlflcance of this "West Wind.
"This, of course, does not mean mat tne wina
always blows from the west. The great current flows
in that direction, but surface conditions cause In
.....vahlA orfille wh'.ch are the winds we feel. Into
t low nressuro area, for Instance, the air rushes from
overy direction. Thus. If the center of disturbance Is
to the west of us. we will have an easterly wind ns
the nlr rushes toward this center; when the storm
has reached and passed us on Its easterly way we
,m k.v wpnternlv winds. For this reason it is
common to say that west winds mean clear weather
"The nlr that flows Into the low pressure area
obviously must go somewhere. Since It Is coming In
from every point of the compass the ony available
place Is up. As it rises It cools and contracts. In the
process the moisture It contains Is condensed and we
i.v rain. That Is. we are likely to. It cannot be
stated, too emphatically, as there are many things to
be considered which may make exceptions to the most
fundamental rules.
"in regard to temperature everyone has noticed
that rain In winter means warm weather, in summer
cool weather. This arises from the fact that heat

clouds "and moisture- In the daytime heat reaches the

reverse Is true. The cooling time Is longer than the

Thus the peessure of the atmoaphere Is the key to the
weather, affecting the three vital questions 01 rata.
