OUR ABNORMAL WEATHER
Some time ago. The Light in dis
cussing the abnormal weather that ha:
Areiaued during 1920 declared that on<
of the causes of the unusual condition:
Fas the presence of an area of high ba
tometer in the Atlantic ocean off th<
Souther: part of the United States Th<
Weather Bureau has issued a statemen
to the same effect which however i:
phrased somewhat more scientifically that
the opinion expressed by Tile Light
>he Bureau says:
' "One of the causes of abnormal con
iitions was an ^pcrease in the height o
barometic pressure over those parts o
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans commonly
^nown as the semi-penuanent high pres
Sure regions.’’
In other words the barometric pressun
iver parts of the two oceans was highe:
than usual; the effect of this rearrange
anent of pressure was to change th<
course of the rainstorms which usualh
ass from west to east to higher latitudes
This means that they went across Britis!
Lmerica well up toward Hudson's Ba?
nstead of following the customary patl
rom west to east which is roughly speak
ng anywhere between St. Louis ant
Winnipeg.
The result of forcing these rainstorm
"io far to the nor . was the worst drough
n the northern part of the United State
:nd in southern Canada that has been ex
lerienced during the last forty years.
Another reason given is that the milt
rinter of 1920-21 was characterizec
>y a very light snowfall and a much de
Teased thickness of ice in lakes ant
rtreams. An unusually -warm February
’emoved practically all of the snow ir
• he United States and even in the north
western Canadian provinces by the firs
>f March. The result was that the sola:
teat that would ordinarily be used ir
nelting snow and ice heated the soi
|nd the atmosphere and as it got awaj
to such a beautiful running start thi
Summer was one of exceptional heat
J There' were of course minor condition:
that had their little share in making th:
year 1920 so unusual in weather but th<
two causes already cited were chiefh
Responsible.
The question that now presents itsel
is whether the abnormality that^has beet
so unpleasant thus far will continu:
through the coming winter and give us <
winter as cold as the summer was warm
There is no way of even guessing witl
accuracy at what may come. It is wel
Established that nature is always striv
Ing for an average and is vorever seeking
to equalize conditions. On that theory
there should be an abundance of coo
breather. About alj we can do is to si
light and make up our minds to tall
tbout the weather some time next sprinj
when we know just what did happen.

the nation-wide strike seemed a foregone
conclusion. The best answer would be
that the strike did not materialize; a
settlement was actually effected by the
7a Railroad Labor Board.
Accordingly as a matter of abstract
“ principle the I. & G. N. strikers would
seem to have no reasonable claim upon
their former jobs much less upon the
seniority rights which they possessed be-
;orc thev quit work. Other men were
emph yed by the railroad to take the
: laces of the strikers and these new cm-
.•loyes would have been warranted in as-
-timing even if they were not so assured
vjlthat their jobs would be permanent in
practical sense ol that term. Indi-
c. tions were that the railroads were pre-
• are 1 to place new men in all jobs in
the event the theratened nation-wide
strike should become an actuality. More- •
• er. the moral obligation of the Inter-
-1 । national & Great Northern railroad to its
E - tew employes would be a consideration
t? But there is another side to the whole
;n 1 ;t:cstion —a less tangible side it is true
but one that may be no less important
on that account. The employes struck
i’ as an organization rather than as indi-
viduals. They were under orders from '
their union chiefs. Furthermore it has
— been suggested that these men walked
>ut as a means of creating a test case;
if they should wiu then the fruits of their
5- victory would be shared with the em- 1
is plcyes of all other roads in the country 1
ie under like circumstances. 1
is Before such a test could be made the 1
i- nation-wide strike project became a fizzle. 1
ic It was made so by the force of public ‘
:e opinion in general and by the concilia- '
it tory spirit of the labor board in particu- 1
is lar. The brotherhood chiefs were con- 1
n vinced that they had got off on the wrong *
r. foot. With assurances of fair treatment !
from the labor board representing the !
1- government they agreed to put their 1
af cause into that body’s hands. 1
si Undoubtedly the greatest facility for .
ly a permanent solution of the labor problem (
s- of the railroads would be a willingness (
on the part of both the carriers and their
re employes to abide by the decisions of a .
sr competent board of arbitration. If that |
e- is the federal government’s way of pro-
ie tecting the people—and the people have
ly authorized their government to do what-
s. ever may be necessary to safeguard and
ih promote the general welfare—neither the
ly railroads nor their employes have a right ;
;h to act independently of such an authority’s '
k- rulings. Yet the labor board may have I
id difficulty in settling disputes as long as
the carriers and their employes enter-
is tain a hostile feeling toward each other
lit Now the railroads art afforded an ex-
es cellent opportunity to develop a better
x- feeling on the part of their employes.
They could do so one may easily he-
ld lieve by waiving their opportunity to
id wreak revenge upon the strikers. So far
e- as abstract principle and the law of con-
id tracts may be concerned the I. & G. N.
•y railroad would probably have ample war- '
n rant for refusing to take back any of the. ■
1- strikers. But if these men have learned
st their lesson and they could be reinstated
ir without injustice to those who were
in called to take their places would it not j
il be good policy for the railroads to forego (
lv the exercise of whatever technical rights
ie the situation may have afforded them?
t oo
IS REVIVING THE RECALL
ie .
ie At least in the sense of doing things j
|y in a hurn the people of North Dakota
seem to be exceptionally progressive.
If When they grew weary of the kind of (
■n politics that promises everything and
ie that does nothing except in its own be-
a half they voted into power the so-called
n. Non-Partisan League. Possibly the league
:h was non-partisan when it was in the em- 1
H bryonic stage; but the minute it became I
I’-la full-fledged political organization it '
!g was necessarily partisan. ।
v. Under the leadership of the league .
j] North Dakota did various queer things. ।
.;t I here was little objection until financial
k j difiiculties arose. When banks began
g to fail and the state treasury got into H
entanglements partisanship became the h
state’s principal product. There was 11
probably not an henest-to-goodne's non-
partisan in the whole of North Dakota. *
r . Now another quick change has been j
in made. Ihe state’s governor who had •
been elected by the Non-Partisan League
;o has been defeated in a recall election j
as have several other officials of the same
1 . political origin. W hat may have been
e the merits of the issues presented to the
voters an observer at this distance may
n be unable to make out clearly. But can I
c anyone anywhere in the country regard !
j this election as a colorless incident in
political historv?
r. I- had been some time since the recall
rp principle was invoked anywhere. By
many people it had come to be regarded
r . as an obsolete theory and one thnt had i
)e beepme so because of the difficulty of
"iving it practical application. But in i
t< sorth Dakota th s method of quicklv
e- undoing a pohtica! mistake has worked
le with apparent smoothness. Evidently the
ie voters derided that t^ey had made a
j. mistake in giving the Non-Partisan
I eague control of »he government or else '
1 . 'bey would have re-elected that ergani-
> ration’s candidates.
jf Thus the recall principle has I>ee^ re-
vived and that fact is to be jottedt.own
n in the consciousness of voters every-
where tor whatever it may be worth t<
them in the course of their own expert
cnce in Die respective localities. A meth
od that was formerly regarded by man;
people as impracticable nas been applies
to concrete conditions. It remains to b<
seen of course whether the new of
iicials will make better records than tin
ousted ones were adjudged to have don
by the voters of North Dakota.
Ihe principal point for the considers
tion of voters in other states is that ths
.\orth Dakotans having decided tnat the)
made a mistake have taken the most
direct route to its rectification. They em-
ployed certain men to administer then
affairs; those employes having proved
unsatisfactory their jobs are immediate-
ly taken from them and . given to new
employes that is all there is to it as
a mechanical process. But the psychologi-
cal effect upon the new employes ougnl
to be wholesome —and that is the duel
merit of the recall principle. Not only
does it afford a means of speedy repara-
tion but it serves as a warning against
the repetition of acts damaging to the
people s interest it tends to make em-
ployes instead of bosses out of public
officials.

"TAXING’’ ILLICIT LIQUOR
- I
In adopting the Wadsworth amend-
ment to the tax-revision bill the Senate
has emphasized an absurdity that has long
marked the attitude of the government
toward violators of the prohibition law.
in original form this amendment imposed
a tax on specified alcoholic liquors which
may be ’’manufactured imported or sold
for medicinal purposes.’’ There was noth-
ing inconsistent in that. But before the
amendment was adopted a clause was in-
serted providing for "double rates on
such liquors unlawfully delivered for bev-
erage purposes the tax to be paid by the
person responsible for the diversion.”
That is a queer definition of a tax.
The government first prescribes the man-
ner in which liquors may be manufac-
tured and sold and the purposes for
which they may be used. But if some-
body violates the law he is to be taxed
for such violation! A more absurd propo-
sition would be difficult to imagine.
Yet in this instance the Senate is mere-
ly extending an old practice of the Treas-
ury Department. Within the last few
years revenue agents have proceeded
against persons with liquor in their pos-
session because the tax on such liquor
had not been paid. The logical inference
would be that the tax ii proffered by the
makers or owners of Ac liquor would
have been acceptable to the government
It would also be logical to assume thal
the revenue agents would not be con-
cerned with a case in which the maket
or owner of illicit liquor had offered tc
pav a tax.
If it is'unlawful to produce any com-
modity how can the government con-
sistently tax that commodity? Any com-
modity upon which the government col-
lects a tax could not but be regarded
by test of logic as one which could be
lawfully produced by anybody who would
pay the tax. The very act of levying the
tax presupposes the legality of produc-
tion—so far as logic or even common
sense goes.
But neither logic nor common sense
seems to have entered into the prohibition
philosophy at any stage. The government
forbids the manufacture and sale oi
liquors for beverage purposes and then
forthwith proceeds to "tax” them when
they are used for such purposes. It is a
queer "principle’’ that profits by its own
violation.

: • The Veiled Years
1 By FLORENCE FOSTER.
I
A great wave of faintness blinded
her eyes fur a moment. Then a* she
mist raided and cleared acruse the room
she aaw the figure uf a man.
Su be was here in truth this man
who was bound up in the greatest ec*
stasy and the bi tercat pain her heart
thud known. This mag ate loved.
“Javk!’’ Her hand^wcut out tu him.
“Jack! . .
Once again that cry of a man’s name
uttered by a vu.ee bmkeu uy ua *.
seemed to bang like an echo in the
strange stillness of the harem ruom.
Harford bad made no forward move*
mint in res;»onfce to the appeal of those
uutflung hands. It was nut*the pres*
once of the servant who bad nut yet
left the routn that held him silent—he
was unconscious of her presence. It
was that now that he was come into
the presence of this woman who was
Ismail Merjans wife be realized that
there remained nothing for him to say.
It was as though that fact never real-
ized in all its fullness until that mo-
i rmu 1 up a great WA4 u£
silence between them.
His * ayes took in her beauty in a
burning glance— the beauty ttet bail
b<cn his alone—the slim rounded arms
that gleamed faintly ivory against the
<liiil blue uf her robe the delicate curve
of her throat —all that < i
feet ion of her—that bcluuged now by
right of marriage to the man who had
fooled him.
Rachel's hands had fallen to her side
as though his sitatea had stricken them.
She. too bad forgotten Saadette. and
. it came as a relief when the woman
| addressed ter e even though Ite iuipurt
। of her words seemed to j»as* by like
smoke. What was she saving? Som»*-
' thing about the flight of time . . . the
i need for haste . . . Haste for what?
Then she was gone. The fa nt • la-h
'of rings as she drew the curtains be*
: Lind her seemed like the punctuation
I that mark«d off the first paragraph in
this new chaxHer of their lives. They
were alone.
The great room was a place of
massed shadows that the few hanging
lamps seemed only tu throw into greater
intensity. But the light of a lamp
near the door fell full on Harford's
face. As Rachel with a passion of en-
treaty in her eyes stared across at him.
she read something in that face boyish
still yet so strangely ravaged and worn*
locking that brought a revelation to
her sucli as no word# could have done.
There had been some tragic mistake
She knew that now beyond all doubt.
This was no false lover no philanderer
■ who had kused and ridden away. What-
ever of w rong had come to her on his
account it was not wrung of bis doing.
She gave h sudden bitter cry.
“Jack!” Sho made a few faltering
steps forward. The last shred of self-
control was gone the pride whh it.
The cruel )»erplexitiea nf life and fate
had vanquished her. “Have you noth-
ing to bay • • • not a word ...
Ja< kI”
Her cry thrilled through his heart.
He made a movement toward her. as
though the sight of her eyes had broken
down that already shaken barrier of Lis
self control.
“Yes but you—haven’t you something
to say fir~t ?” he triad. “What ex-
planation have you to give me?” And
then with a catch in his voice that
rendered it strangely boyish "Rachel
for God’s sake tell me what this means?
To find you here—in this man’s house.
His wife—for you are his wife—or is
that a lie too?”
“It is not a Jie” she managed to
My.
"And you promised ‘o me?”
“When 1 gave you my promise I did
not know that you had already given
your word elsewhere.”
“What do you mean?”
Ha stared at her blankly but she
seemed to rend suspicion in his eyex.
and the thought filled her with nervous
irritation. Her need of him was »»o
urgent and so desperate that it forced
her into antagonism.
“Why do you pretend to misunder-
stand me?” she cried. “Wasn’t your
marriage tn bibyl Hamertou-Ker pub-
licly announced even while you uere
amusing yourself with making love to
me?” A sudden thought se me^ to
Strike her and she added fiercely:
“Why are you here at all? I thought

His hand went out as though hi
would htve laid it on her shoulder
but he withdrew it quickly. Even st
far he dared not trust himself.

“SET IP THE GRAPEFRUIT*
To the editor:
1 I notice j d Thursday’* Light that our
f honorable Judge Campbell wan driving
f । no fast in the heat i of our city that
a I when an obstruction showed up in front
of him. he could not stop until he had
e I smashed a telephone pole off and inri*
e dentally came near losing his own life
n Now the judge can anil docs ptiM
judgment on others for driving fast and
r I admit he has passed judgment on me
n twice and J have paid for it both time*
t The first time was due to my igno-
rl rance of the fa^t that out in tM
’ try Rexar county only allows one to
• drive 25 mile* an hour and I wai go
’ ing 28. (T came from California where
n the legal limit was 30). The second time
। the obliging motor cop rode up by the
side of my car and raised his hand
when I was coasting down one of the
' hills north of the city and I whs not
" going so fast but what I stopped i*' l
» Midden I would trit have smashed an’
J telephone pole off twenty feet in front
of me. Remember this wan out in th*
country not in our city. I paid just
the same. I ask the motor cop what
became of the money I paid for going
faster than he thought I should go; b<
said ‘it was Lis opinion that it went
1 to buy grapefruit for the iudge’K break
.* fast? Now I like gra|»ofniit myself and
® think turn about is fair nlay. and 1
agree that if the jud~e will send ma out
e $l4 worth that I will divide up with al
the unfortunate ones who know thei

( Now the judge has an excuse; ha
t says there was a truck turning around
• in the middle of the street. Well.
I judge we all have excuse* but ho far
।as I know they never work in yonr
! majestic presence; bcHidcs. it is nearly
। as common to see someone turn around
in the middle of the block in our fair
city as it is to see a one-eyed Ford with
no tail light at night and that is S‘»m<
common. Therefore it is my mature
judgment that no on* should Im* permlt-
