DECIDE WEATHER
 FOR SIX WEEKS
Today is CandeImaS Day in English Legend and Groundhog Day ln United States g.History of Weath'
 CT Theory in Both, Countries

Washington3 Feb. 1.-Tomorrow is the day andf date on which the groundhog will decide the meteorolo' gical conditions for six weeks to come if the old superstitions sur rounding Candlemas Day are to be accepter at their face value. Uncle Sans weather sharps however, cast many and severe reflections on thlf prophetic rival, asserting that for the last three years the groundhog has been all off in his prognostications.
 There are many old rhymes and traditions upon which weather pro- phesies have been based, but none are more widely circulated than those regarding the second of February. which in ''Ye olden time was known as Candlemas Day and was celebrat- ed with a special church. service, to which each worshipper contributed a candle.
 "Candlemas Day, Candlemas Day.
 Half our wood and half our hay is a we'll known couplet which indi- eated to the ancient British yeoman that the winter was half spent.
 If Candlemas Day be fair and bright
 Winter will take another flight. But if Candlemas Day bring cloud and
 rain
 Winter is gone and won't come
 again.
 is another version of the same old theory.
 The introduction of the eroundhog into the traditions surrounding the second of February is an American

innovation, and is said to have orl- ginated with the negro superstltlons of ''ole virginny'
 According to their stories, the sroundhos wakes up from long sleep and comes out on the second day of February to see if the winter is over. If the day is clear and brlght SD the sun throws a shadow on the snow the groundhog takes fright and returns to his hole for six weeks more. If it is a cloudy day, however he remains out over night and as consequence warm weather commen- ces immediately and the farmers pre- pare for an early spring. "Brer Groundhog comes out fer 10
 to see the day.
 MT. Sun shows his shadow and
 skeers him away, Brer Groundhog he trots long pack
 to his hole
 An fer six whole weeks more 1t am
 gon ter be cold" is the versified rendition of this old negro tradition.

THE PARAGON.

Governor George w. Donaghey, the vaunted exponent of law and order, who refused the petitions of ten thousand people to pardon w. Y. FL lis on the ground that the law must be upheld has refused fatly to take any action whatever, either directly or indirectly, toward suppressing open and fragrant gambling in Hot Springs, says the Hot Springs Bull 1etin.
 This too. in the face of the fact that absolute proofs, accompanied by sworn affidavts, that the law is being laughed to scorn in this city were submitted to the governor by delegation of reputable citizens who merely demanded simple law enforce ment, and of the further fact tha{ the governors duty in the premises IS plainly set forth in Article VI, Section :, of the State Constitution, which says that he shall see that the laws are faithfully executed.
 The governor knows that the laws are being violated here and that the officials have refused repeatedly to punish the offenders or to perform their duty in the matter. He knows also that word from him would stop these abuses and bring about a reign of law, yet he refuses to say that word or to use the authority vested in him to carry out the plain est and most specific command of our organic law, knowing we'll that his attitude of indifference will destroy every vestige of hope that law-abid- ing citizens might have to secure law enforcement in Hot Springs.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1910-02-02

The inconsistency of our chief exc cutive and his tendency to lick the boots of what he considers the stronger party whenever possible IS here made plainly apparent, and his hypocritical posture as an exponent of law and order is made equally plain. Tn the Ellis matter there was no question of law, but rather one of executive clemency and some few atoms of mercy. In the matter set before Donaghey by the Hot Springs delegation the only question involved was purely one of enforcing some Of our most positive statutory laws laws so plain and so peremptory that the most befuddled ignoramus in the confines of the commonwealth can understand their meaning and carry out their intent Donaghey has elect ed not to see his plain duty in the premises, and thus loses much of the respect to which he is entitled by reason of his exalted position.
 But what can be reasonably expect ed, in the way of law enforcement, of a chief executive who destroys pri- vate property without a semblance of legal authority and confscates val uable machinery and building mater ial worth thousands of dollars and dares the rightful owners to claim their own? With this governor of ours it is always and forever very much a matter of whose OK is gored, and the people may be sure that he will do nothing to offend those with whom he has done political jugglery in recent star chamber sessions-not even W utll llltoc Sopdl lACi VI iiAS live largely without the pale of the law.
 Donaghey and Donaghey's satellites his subsidized newspapers and sal aried "staff correspondents make much of the Ellis matter and hor- aid his belated action with reference to the Ellis petitions as the quint- essence of executive probity and re- gard for the law, but his flat refusal to obey the imperative commands of the statutes with regard to gambling and his stubborn persistence in ig- nCring a peremptory clause in the constitution are either distorted to fit the Donaghey requirements or buried beneath the mountain of gen- eralities. The plain fact is that the governor has refused to enforce the law and no amount of platitudes and panegyries can put him in any other light than a self-confessed ene- my to organized society.
