HICKS ON NOVEMBER
The Weather Prophet Gives Out a
Tip That There is to be Some
Bad Weather.

According to Weather Prophet Kick.
the following Is his forecast fol
November weather:
The first storm movements for thi:
month will be central on the 3rd anc
4th. On and touching these day:
a rise in temperature, falling baron.
eter, cloudiness and rain will pass
eastwardly from western extremes tc
the Atlantic. The western and
northern sides of this and all storm
areas at this season, will most likely
turn to snow, AMI as the high baron.
eter pushes in from the northwest
behind the storms, high. cold winds
and freezing. clearing weather will
succeed. Actual storms of rain and
snow, as we'll as the warm. fair
weather before. and the cold, fair
weather behind them, always pass,
like great railroad trains, from west
to east across the states.
The second storm period for
November will be central on the 9th
extending from the eth to the 18th.
This is a regular Vulcan period, with
moon at first quarter on the It'll. and
On the celestial equator on the 18th.
As we enter we'll into this period a
marked change to warmer will move
out of western parts, falling barom-
eter will follow, and wide.areas of
autumnal rain will move eastward
from about the 9th to the 18th.
These storms will reach the culminat-
ing stage about the llth with posi-
BILE lightning and thunder southwark.
all followed from the northwest by
change to snow, rising barometer and
cold, clearing weather.
The anti-storm conditions follow.
ing the preceding period will break
down about the 18th and 10th. which
are reactionary storm days. On and
touching the 18th and 10th low baron
eter, rising temperature, and wide
areas Of renewed rain, turning to
snow generally to the northward, will
pass eastwardly from the far west
the country. Be on the watch.
nrst for warmer, pleasant, weather,
then for cloud1ness and rain, then
for shift of temperature and wind
with snow. then for high barometer,
stiff northerly gales and cold, clear
ing weather-not all at once on your
patch, but each in regular rotation.
One of the marked storm periods of
the month falls in and near the
center of a Mercury period. This
Vulcan period covers the 10Th to the
23rd. Be prepared at this time for
all the progressive phenomena Of a
very active storm period. Low
and warmer will end in
general rains. rains will lead to snow
and sleet-look for Shetland snow
and sleet will be attended and
followed by a change amounting to a
cold wave. This period will come to
is crisis about the 22nd and 23rd.
On and touching the Goth and 9th,
the cloudy, unsettled weather. re-
sultlng from the Mercury equinox,
will grow into decided autumnal
storms of rain, wind .and snow. In
al northern sections look for heavy
High northwesterly winds
md change to quite cold will follow
these storms.

Our neighbor, the Imboden
News speaks of editor Coger's

unkind cut, especially as there is
not human being in the county,
save US, who would confess the
Partnership of the contents OF the
Record unless some strenuous
force, as the water cure or some
thing of that kind, were used as
a persuader. No, Earle, we have
no assistants. We confess to the
editorship of the Record freely,
at the same time having a full
knowledge of the fact that this
paper stands as badly in need OF
an editor as does the News.

The Supreme Court of Arkan-
sas has decided that the state
must stand by the contract made
with the Arkansas Brick and
Manufacturing Co. This high
tribunal declared this a hurtful
contract for the state, but that it
could not save the state from the
consequences of a contract legal
w made. This is one OF the worst
contracts made by any state, and
all of our readers are no DOUBT
familiar with it's terms, as 1t was
used largely in the late campaign
The signing of the Arkansas
Brick and Manufacturing co.
contract will stand out for all
time as a black spot on the polit-
ical career of Gov. Davis. If he
signed it after mature delibera-
ton, he is deserving of the stern
est censure, and if, as he declared
during the campaign, he signed
it while crazy or while his hands
were behind him, the action is tc
be condemned more. The state
has it's foot into it at any rate
and the people, who foot the bills
will have to antey up and look
pleasant.

John Churn, of the Ravenden

The republicans of Arkansas
are divided into two factions; the
regulars, owned and controlled
by Powell Clayton, and the in
surgents, led by Ben M. Fore
man. 1t seems certain that both
factions will put out a candidate
for governor, and that Hon Harry
H Myers will be the candidate of
the regulars, and Charles D,

gents. Our republican brethren
are badly disrupted, but us dem

The democratic middle in our
esteemed neighbor independence
is making that county a "rep"
that is uncomplimentary and dis
creditable, all of which is not en-
joyed by her best citizens. The
primary system seems to be fast
becoming travesty on honesty
all over the state, made so by
dishonest politicians and their
"fool friends" The primary,

chief guilt was upon the heads OF
those who created the conditions,
After reviewing briefly the
capture of Aguinaldo by General
Funston, the methods of whom he
sharply criticised, Mr. Hoar ex-
pressed the belief that the senate
did not know what it was dong
when it consented to General
Funston's promotion, and init
mated that tn @ result might have
been different if the senate had
been fully cognizant of all the
facts,

Philippines, Mr.. Hoar sail:

I know they were unknown to
President Roosevelt, and | know
they were unknown to PRECEDENT
Mckinley"
He did not believe, however,
the statement that the war had
been conducted with unexampled
humanity on our part would be
accepted by the people. He de-
ncunced the order alleged to have
been given by General Smith,
and laid particular stress upon
the horrors of the recommendation
camps, which he likened to the
dreadful scenes in Andersonvllle
prison during the civil war lie
demanded that these things cease,
and the administration declare on
what eternal principles it would
act in the Philippines. He be-
lieved that it would be impossible,
absolutely, to pacify the Philip
pines. In conclusion, Mr.. Hoar
believed that better counsel yet
would prevail than now seemed to
exist. The irrevocable step had
not yet been taken.
Mr.. Hoar occupied nearly two
hours and a half. At the con-
sluslon Of the address a wave OF
applause swept over the senate
and the galleries. So unusual
was the demonstration on the
floor Of the senate that the pre-
siding officer, Mr.. Plat Of Con-
necticut, called the senate's at
tention to the violation Of its own
rules, and in addition warned the
people in the galleries that ap-
plause was not permissible.

H0AR CONDEMNS 1T.
A Republic in Cuba; Despotism in The
Philippines.

States Senate, Mr.. Hoar, the
aged Republican member from
Massachusetts, took a turn at the
Philippine question. His argu-
ment is strictly American, and is
at wide variance with the sent-
ments of the leaders of his party.
He maintained that this coun-
try is not at war. "You are
fighting for sovereignty" he said,
"you are fighting for the prin-
ciple of eternal demain over that
people, and that is the only ques-
ton at issue in the conflict"
When it had been determined
to resort to force in the Philip
pines, he said, the government
took on itself the natural conse-
quences of that decision. The
result of the conflict of arms of
such a character inevitably was
that there would be cruelty on
one side and retaliation by cruel
ty on the other; and the respon-
sibilltv rested on those who made
the policy.
Mr.. Hoar said he was to dis
cuss and denounce what seemed
to him one of the most wicked
and foolish chapters in history;
vet he was compelled to admit,
he said, thai the men WHO were
responsible for it were neither
wicked nor foolish.
Mr.. Hoar maintained that his
conscience would not permit him
to follow these men and his con-
science was the only authority ne
felt bound to obey in this matter
He said that the share which il
was proposed to give the Fill
pinos in the proposed scheme o.
government was an admission
that many of them were fit for
self-government. The United
States was fighting to secure 6
dependency, not a republic; /
government of our own making
and not a government of the
Filipinos' making. He recited {
chapter of the history of this
country which he said that show
ed that the present policy OF the
government was in contradiction
OF the Monroe doctrine, as it was
a contradiction of the declaration
of independence. This govern
ment had created a republic in
Cuba and a despotism in the
Philippine islands. Six hundred
million of treasure and 10000
American lives had been sacrifice
ed in the endeavor. In the
Philippines the American flag
had been made the emblem OF
sacrilege and the burning OF
homes and Of the horror of the
water torture. He believed that
our officers in general were hu-
name. "But in some cases they
have carried on your warfare
with a mixture of American
ingenuity and Castillian cruel
ty,
"What have your ideals cost
|
you?" inquired Mr.. Hoar, "for
the Philippine island you have
had to repeal the declaration OF
Independence. For Cuba you
have mad to reaffirm and give 1T
new lustre. For the Philippine
islands you have had to convert
the Monroe doctrine into a doc
trine of mere selfishness. For
Cuba you have acted on 1t and
indicated it. In Cuba you have
the eternal gratitude of a free
people. In the Philippine islands
YOU have the hatred and sullen
submission of a subjugate peo-
ple,"
"From Cuba you have brought
home nothing but glory From
the Philippines you have brought
home nothing Of glory"

A RIDDLE ANALYZED.

week and cusses him the next.
Funny way to play for pie,
especially when there's moth
ing in the air. But perhaps
some of Editor Coger's as
sistants do the cussing,-Im-
boden News.
AS is usually the case with
the vaporings Of the learned sky
pilot Of the News, the above par
agraph does not contain truth to
the amount above that allowed by
law. The Record, it occurs to
US, is no riddle, and we crave the
pardon of our august contempo-
rary for expressing the individual
opinion that there is not a paper
in this section that speaks out in
meetin' in more unmistakable
English than does the Record. 1t
is our opinion that our readers
will bear out the statement that
the Sharp County Record has
stood by it's guns on every prop
osition, winning or losing, it has
took up. We do not have a thirst
for pie either, especially with the
crowd that now controls the dis
tribution of that article. Our re-
tanning capacity is neither OF
copper nor cast-iron. 1t seems
to be surprisingly strange also to
our brother of the News how an
editor can agree with Gov. Davis
on one proposition and have the
effrontery to oppose him on an
other. In fact, the News seems
to think that the festive squirrel
head who has the audacity to op-
pose Gov. Davis ought to be ban
ished with the benefit of consol-
ing clergy. The News makes two
mistakes; one in becoming wrap
ped up, body and soul, in Gov
Davis, and second in trying to
edit a newspaper in such a con-
dition. To speak plainly, it is
absolutely disgusting that a news
paper especially should become
SO wrapped up in a politician
and a politician rarely ever cares
for anybody but No. that it
cannot see a fault in him, even If
it glares like a red shirt on a July
day at high noon. How about
that brick contract, Hodges?. Do
you endorse that iniqultous blum
der? If you do not, why not tell
your readers 50? Why remain
mute as a mouse? Are you bound
down with straps of official favor!
We verify believe were Gov. Da-
Wis to set fire to the state house
the News would yell in its first
edition thereafter; 'f!1urrah for
Davis; he's cleaning utthe gang
to the taste of the Queen" or
were he to hold up old man Tip
ton for half a million, the News
would gush over, and in its en-
thusiasm cry out: "Jeff is SO
cute; he's nothing if not orig
Iinal." The News can be honest
and not endorse the unworthy
acts of the governor, howsoever
much such an action might irri-
tate the car. The Record, when
Gov. Davis does a good deed or
act, endorses it and says so,-
and he has done a goodly num-
ber,-and at the same time re-
serves the right to disagree with
him and criticise any action OF
his we see fit. The Record is not
rolled up in a wad and tied to the
southeast quarter Of the southern
extremity of any political power
it seems the News is, hence the
Record appears to it as a riddle
We are democrat, Hodges, ano
hope as good a democrat as you
are, but a democratic nominee
can do things harmful to the state
Those things do not require the
sanction Of your paper to constr
tute YOU a democrat. The editor

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-HeIen Hay, elG-
est daughter Of Secretary Of State John
Hay, and Payne whitney OF New York, son
Of ex-secretary Of the Navy Whitney, were
married today at noon at the Church Of the
Covenant. The wedding was the most not
able social event Of the season in Wash
ington. being celebrated In the presence OF
the highest ~oficials in the land. including
the president and his cabinet, and Of what
Is recognized as the best Of New York and
New England society. The Hay family has
been In mourning since the death Of Adel-
bert Hay, but for this one day the mourning
was put aside and the wedding was cele-
brated with all the pomp and circumstance
that would have characterized 1t otherwise.
The church where the ceremony was per-
formed was deliberately and artisticaIiy
decorated with flowers and green's. Tie
church was crowded. It's seating capacity is
only 600. which promised badly for the 1000
persons invited. It was believed that oficial
Washington could not be accommodated in
a small measure, so the invitations were
limited to friends Of the contracting fami-
lies, the only exception being in the case OF
the diplomatic body. Even here It was
not possible to include In the invitations
the entire diplomatic list. and the elect
were the heads Of legations and their ladies
alone. So in the case Of the United States
congress. the persons Invited were those
who were on personal relations with the
Hay and whitney families.
