ASTROLOGY POINTS TO
PEACE SEXT FOUR YEARS
BOTH BRYAN AND TAFT
ARB PEACEFUL MEN.
Star That Prevailed at Birth of Lead

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

; Danvlll,1 III., Oct 17. 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. Only once,
, however, has his long career In con
gress been. Interrupted, and that was
In 1890. He has served 17 terms, cr
