Star That Prevailed at Birth of Lead ing Ptttio4ajM Are Peaceful Mar Wa Warlike Star Ove Roowevelt , Ne'Xork, Oct 27. According to the declaration of a, prominent New York astrologer, the next four years will be peaceful, quite and prosperous ones for the United States, no matter whether Bryan or Taft is elected. . -Roosevelt, whose birthday Is today, was born under the turoulent, war like star of Mars, which dominates the sign of Sclplo,' and hl career could not fail , to be a Strenuous one. de clares the astrologer, On ', the con trary, Taft 'was. born under the sign of Virgo and Bryan under Pisces, and these signs spell peace. ? 'President-Roosevelt Is not the only modern executive head of a great na tion to be born under Scorpion, ' The sign domi(nkteu Edward of . England, President Faliiere of France," MVitsu hlto of Japan and Victor ''Emmanuel of Jtaiy. and In thU fact "the astrolo gefs see dire forebodings for the fu ture. '' '' .'.'', Anu-rlca will not let Mars or any Other planot get the better of her, for the reason that she is soon ito have a new president, and unless the worst comes wlthla the next few months we cannot fall to have a most peaceful and perfect ruler. It " matters not whether It be William Jenning Bryan, or William Howard Taft. providing, whichever It be, he continues to live and exercise his prerogatives. . If It be Taft, however, and he should not live to serve out his term, then another Scorpio. James S. Sherman (born Oc tober 24, 1855.) lurks Just behind him u,u wuuiu strp into nis snoes. Bryan halls ' fro mthe peaceful, amiable and obstinate sign Pisces, which begins February 19 and ends March 19, and he has for his eodlacal kin such presidents as Washington, Madison, Jackson and Cleveland. Taft would be something brand new, as trologlcally, as a president. Amer ica has never yet had a Virgo presi dent. Taft was born September 15, 1857, which makes him a son of Virgo. Not one stick of presidential timber has as yet been cut from this virgin forest. : ;, . '. THERE ARE NO TRIFLING COLDS ..'.- . ,.i ..... . -..'

ThU llttte' Illinois city Is how th center f & political contest which. In th opin ion of thousand of American' Is. f even greater importance than the presidential election. For just oo week from today will be decided not only whether Taft or Bryan shall oc cupy th Whit House, but wbetber Joseph O. Cannon will continue to rule the house of representatives or be re tired to private life. The last week of the campaign will, be a strenuous one, and . both side will fight tooth and toe-nail for vic tory. The African Federation of Labor has come to, the support o Can non's democratic opponent, and Sam uel Gompers and other Readers of the labor movement have delivered ad dresses In the Danvllla district, culling upon, all .'friends', of unionism to rally to ,the movement for : the" overthrow of. Cannon. Charges and -counter charges have been hurled at Cannon and bis opponents, and the last week of the campaign will likely develop even wore sensational feature. Ie- inounced as a "czar" .and a "hireling of monopoly" by; Ms enemies, and lovingly referred lo as "honest Undo Joe" by his friends, the speaker pay tittle heed to friends or foes? but puffs his" big cigars in apparent compla cent certainty of his re-election. The last time he presented himself for re-election, "Jo-uncle" received nearly 23,000 votes, as compared with less than 13.000 east for his opponent, and there Is reason to believe that hi neighbor would1 today give much the same sort of verdict If they concern ed themselves only, with what Mr. Cannon has done as representative of the Eighteenth Illinois district, but na tional Issues have been brought In and grafted on the iocal situation, and th these considerations will Influence the community that ha long" been stand ing behind the rugged oampalgner for a third of a century., If he should suffer defeat at the polls next, week the experience would not be for him an absolutely, new one.
