Who else has been the Solicitor General of the United States, A Federal judge, an eminently successful proconsul in the American Empire, a vigorous Secretary of War, a good President and an excellent Chief Justice of the Supreme. Court? And a Yale man? Taft, from the moment of his birth on September 15, 1857, in Cincinnati, appeared destined for a life devoted to the law. Shortly after he was graduated from Yale in 1878, he entered a law school in his home town and in 18814- he became judge of Cincinnati s Superior Court. Married two years later to Helen Herron, he became Solicitor General of the United States on February 4, 1890. In 1892 President Benjamin Harrison appointed him to the Federal Circuit Court.

    My name is Keith Heidorn. If you asked me to describe myself in the context of the Weather Doctor, I would tell you that I am both an artist and a scientist who is deeply involved with the weather and other atmospheric phenomena on many levels. I have had a love affair with the weather for about 45 years. You see, I think that weather is the most sensual aspect of life, stimulating all my senses at one time or another and often several at once. I was born in Chicago and grew up in northeastern Illinois where I first fell in love with the weather. The Great Lakes region has its variety of weather extremes generally with a rapid turnover of daily weather events. United States 1 February 1893, Saint Louis, Missouri: Although the air temperature is only 13° above zero, Fahrenheit (-25° C), thunder and lightning accompany sleet and snow during the evening hours. 1 February 1920, Atmospheric pressure builds over New England went to extreme levels. Barometer in Portland, Maine reads 31.09 inches Hg (1053 mb), the highest February sea-level pressure ever recorded in the Eastern US. Hartford, Connecticut hits 31.06 inches Hg (1051 mb). The Eastern US record was set the previous day (January 31, 1920) in Northfield VT at 31.14 in, though it was the same air mass. The City data comes from Christopher Burt's list of extreme pressures for US Cities 1 February 1951, Texas to Pennsylvania: Great ice storm produces glaze up to four inches (10 cm) thick from Texas to Pennsylvania.

  • “Foreign in a Domestic Sense” Hispanic Americans in Congress During the Age of U.S
    “Foreign in a Domestic Sense” hispanic americans in congress during the age of u.s. colonialism and global expansion, 1898–1945 On October 15, 1900, La correspondencia, a San Juan daily newspaper, described the qualities of a Resident Commissioner, a position recently created by the Foraker Act (31 Stat. 77–86) to provide Puerto Rico with representation in the U.S. House. The writer stated that such a “representative must be worthy of the trust of those he represents. He must earn that trust through his history, which is a record of the things he has accomplished for the good of the homeland, a justification of his intellectual qualities, a demonstration of his character, and evidence of his love of freedom.”1 Yet, the first Resident Commissioner, Federico Degetau, was not even allowed to set foot on the House Floor when the 57th Congress (1901–1903) assembled in December 1901.

Many Members of Congress were confused by the island’s ambiguous position within the United States, classified as neither a state nor a territory. “Now, Mr. Chairman, Puerto Rico is either in the United States or out of it,” Representative Amos Cummings of New York declared during debate on the Foraker Act. “If the island is out of the United States, we have no business legislating for her here in any way whatever, and if she is in the United States, she is in the same condition as Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and the other Territories.” He concluded by suggesting facetiously that the Foraker Act “ought to be amended so as to be entitled, ‘An act to make a temporary purgatory for the island of Puerto Rico.’”2 The colonial conquests of the late 19th century, particularly in Puerto Rico and the Philippines, marked the first time the U.S.
