Washington, D. c., Jan. 16-Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent II to I6, warm wave
II to IS, cool wave II to IS. This was
expected to be moderate storm with
rain, followed by snow and great cold

leys 70, eastern states FL. Cool wave
will cross Pacific slope about 20, great
central valleys 22, eastern states "a.
This disturbance will pass through
southern states while a severe cold wave
will be passing through the northern
states. The cold wave is expected to be
near Manitoba not far from January 16.
1t will go as far south as ST. Louis and
then eastward and is expected to be
quite severe. In Texas and lower Mis-
sissippi valleys temperatures will remain
high.
Weather extremes will prevail IS to
%, very warm followed by very cold
except not very cold in southwest.
These radical weather features will ex-
tend from the Pacific to the Atlantic, in

that rule Our weather are extremely
active and before May dangerous and
destructive storms will come. January

CYCLES.
Prof. E. W. Brown of Harvard Col
lege says: 'Daily and annual weather
cycles are known and other cycles must
be sought. If we succeed in finding
cycles for temperatures the same rules
will apply to other weather features p"
He then goes on to say that the suns
influence on the weather is not to be
reckoned outside of the dai y and an
nual cycles, and to demonstrate this he
cites the important fact that Our tenn
peratures may be at the maximum at
one place, while it is at the minimr1m at
places east or west of where the high
occur. He then advocates
careful investigation of the weather re-
cords in search of the undiscovered
weather cycles. His paper appears in |
Popular Science.
Prof. Brown is high scientific au-
.hority and I agree with him entirely.

Martinsburg statesman-democrat. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1906-1921, 1909-12-10

Next Tuesday the voters Of Martins
burg will be called upon to vote for or
against the proposed issue of 200
bonds for the purpose of renewing the
water pipes on the town. There has
not been a more important question
before the people Of this city for many
years than this. The old cement pipes
have long ago become inadequate for
the needs of the town. They are con
tinually breaking and at the time OF
fires their weakness is a special men
ace to the safety of the town. Good
machinery and all the appliances in
the world are of no avail for extin-
gushing fire when the pipes are
bursted. This town has been very for
tunate in not having general fire but
we cannot hope to escape forever. We
may have big fire at any time and
If we should and it became neeessar v
to put on full force there would GER
taiply be such bursting Of water
mains that In few moments we
would be without water and at the
mercy of the flames. Besides this there
is very considerable territory of the
town now without water mains and
this will enable the council to give
these sections water as well as the CEN
ter of the town. The bond issue ought
TO carry unanimously for we can see
no reason in the world why any eiti-
zen who has the good of the commun
ity at heart should not vote for the
bond is, ue.

as big man. 1t is said that certain
prominent men, men Of wealth and
high social, and some political, posi-
ton are buying up newspapers in cities
to use in politics. 1t is certain that
these fellows are not working men or
farmers. 1t is simply another species
Of graft. These fellows expect to get
their tools in congress and the state
who will vote in interest
of the plundering corporation by be-
fooling the poor people as they have
been doing for some years. Nine out Of
every ten of the newspapers of the
large cities are controlled by these in
terests and tue people are voting as
they are advising them. This is an
other species OF graft and the fellows
who indulge in it are grafters of the
worst class.

Unload Both of Them.

There seems to be a growing senti-
ment among Republicans according TO
our dispatches from Washington that
Cannon is becoming such burden on
the party that he will have to be un-
loaded if the party is to be saved. Mr.
so frankly selfish and so brutally frank
in his seltishness, his partisanship,
and his craftsmanship, that he has be-
come one ofthe most unique parsonage
in public life. He is the EN- bodiment OF
the spirit of militant and aggressive
Republicanism before the days of mug
deed, any reforms were dreamed of.
de belongs to the age of Thad Stevens
o. p. Morton and Rosco Conkling,
and should be preserved in museum
of political paleontology.
But while the Republican party is
unloading Cannon, what is it gong
TO do about Aldrich? Aldrich is a far
ore sinister influence than Cannon.
w lille Cannon is like pirates vessel
sailing on the surface of the sea with a
black flag flying from the masthead
| and the deaths head and crossbone
| displayed from the forepeak, Aldrich
may be likened to the submarine, con
cealed from view, attacking the hull
| of the ship of state from beneath. II
may be excellent policy for the Repub'
leans to unload Cannon, but it would
| be better to unload Aldricb, and besl
to unload both. Both of thern are po-
| liticaI anachronisms. 1t will not be
safe for the Republicans to place tn cir
reliance jim the feebleness of Demo
cratic opposition. The people and es-
peclally the Republicans of the middle
West are getting weary of the part
nership between congress and the trusts
Of Aldrich being the senate and Cannon

,, A Washington dispatch to the Balti-
more Sun says: Mejor Andrew 8.
Rowan, Fifteen United States Infan-
try, known as the man who sscarried
the message to Garcia" at the out
break of the Spanish War, will be re-
tired December next on his own sp-
plication after 80 yesrs service. For
some time past he has been on duty
with bis regiment at Fort Douglas,
Utah. In the spring Of 1898 Rowan,
then Lieutenant on duty at the War
Department, was charged with the
personal delivery to Gen Calixto Garcia
in Cuba of message from Lieutenant
General Miles, commanding the Unit
ed States army, to secure cooperation
between the American and the Cuban
insurgents against the Spanish forces
then in control of Cuba. Garcia was
hemmed in by the enemy and had
sought shelter in the interior. Start
ing from New York, Rowan. went TO
Kingston, Jamaica, thence owe rland
to the north coast of that where he
slipped away in a sailboat for the south
shore of Cuba, landing between
Guantanamo and Santiago, He then
made his way to the interior, and finally
found Garcia near Manzanillo. Part OF
the time Rowan had passed as Span
lard and part as Cuban. He also Sc
cured great deal of information about
the country valuable t., the American
forces. After delivering the message to
Garcia and getting bis reply, Rowan
made his way with a trusty aid to the
north coast ofCuba, whence they sail
cd in an open boat to New Providence.
There they secured passage on small
schooner bound for Key West and the
rest was easy.
When news of Rowan's safe return
to the United States was published it
created considerable enthusiasm. he
was greeted everywhere as hero. Ma.
jor Rowan was appointed cadet at
the Military Academy from WestVir-
ginia in July, 1877, and was gradual
ed four years later.

The advocates of the saloons were
given a jolt at Winchester when the
Circuit court convened this week. In
spite Of the assertions that there was
more crIninality in Winchester under
local option than under the reign Of
the saloons when the criminal docket
was called in the court there was
Bothing on it. No cases to try, there
had been no crime committed. We
wonder when such thing occurred in
that county before while the saloons
held sway.

The price of meats to the consumer

The price OF meats to the consumer
these days may be accounted for by
the statement issued by Armour u
Company made by them IN connec-
tion with the listing of bond issue Of
$30,0o0,000 on 1.-THE Stock Exchange.
The company wishing to induce inves-
tors to buy their bonds state that the
$20, 100000 capital stock last earned
0,5S2,0 900 gross profit and added to
their surplus 81, 127 1926 which is equiv
alent to a dividend of 35 per cent.
There is the African in the fuel heap.
The meat eaters of the country have
been taxed by this trust to such an ex-
tent that their enormous capital could
make for them profit which is be-
yond the dreams of averice In other
words when consumer buys dol
lars worth of meat he must pay 35
cents to the meat trust.

Ther hes been q great gathering of
the faithful Of the g. 0. p. in Wash
ington this week. There is to be dis
tribution of plums within the next
few weeks ani the pie eaters are on
hand and are clamoring like q pack Of
wolves. There has been talk on the
pestotfices and the politicians of Berk-
eley county have been mostly inter
ested in the Martinsburg postoifice.
The applicants are numerous and Ell :
thusiaatIc Mr.. Clohan is saying moth
ing but is saving wood like good
chopper while the othei fellows think
they have his scalp. Each fellow thin ks
Clohan has no chance st all and that
be himself W i'll get the pie. We are
still OF the opinion that Clohan will
beat the whole push. The contest has
become pretty warm and some of the
opponents would rather see Clohan
get it than any of the other opponents.
Thus while they are serapping among
themselves uncle Alex will more than
likely walk Off with the PIE.
