There would be no appeasement In his administration.

shortage caused by the comparatively long dry season
though in no other region except the northwest could
it have been called a drought for there had been fre
quent light rains.
The editorial is reminiscent of an incident shortly after
the turn of the century in the Rogue River valley. There
had been a long period of drought and crops were near
the wilting point.
At a Sunday meeting of farmers held in a schoolhouse
it was suggested that prayers for rain be said. So a
retired minister was drafted to do the praying. The
preacher was a cheerful, kindly, picturesque old man,
with a flowing white beard and long white hair and re
nowned for his wavering pulpit eloquence.
It was a cloudless, breezeless, hot August day and
the heat seemed to shimmer. The aged preacher, in his
trembling falsetto, began his long prayer Informing the
Lord of the hardships and suffering faced by the people
of the valley by the drought and imploring a solution by
merciful moisture from heaven. He was long-winded and
had been praying for some time, when strokes of light
ning followed by reverberating thunder brought a regu
lar cloudburst. The rain seemed to fall in bucketfuls, for
half an hour flooding the roads.
The amazed preacher paused for awhile to watch the
thunder shower, and becoming alarmed renewed his D,uss school children will
