cussion ensued as to the inade

Thirty-seven sacks of mail
arrived on the Union boat Mon

Widely broadcasted predict
ions by the Weather Bureau at
Washington of a “warmer”
winter are so far decidedly at
variance with the recent mani
festations of old King Winter,
who appears to have outdone
himself in handing out severe
cold all over the country, even
in places where he seldom
makes his presence felt save in
very moderate degree.
Looking back on the periods
of excessive hard times we
have passed through, it is re
called that almost every seri
ous “depression” was accomp
anied by unusually severe win
ter weather and we are won
dering if the present winter is
to be an exception. Viewing
things as they are, we are also
inclined to wonder if that long
distance and widely dissemi
nated “warmer” prediction
was not some more of the good
old dope which the “System”
hands out when it wishes to
keep the rabble from becoming
too restive. Unlike many
of the lesser animals, homo
sapiens can often be kept quiet
by roseate promises when his
belly is empty-as the wise ov
erlords have long since found
out.
