DO YOU DOUBT IT2
Glance at It's Wonderful influence
and Note the Political Upheaval It
is Causing just Now

There's magic iu gold" lam told
that this word magic, is derived
from the name of the ancient
worshirers of fire, who were called
"magi." This sect, and especially
their priests preteuted to deal in
the "hlack art and by the common
people were believe to exercise a
sort of witchcraft by which they
brought strange devices to pass;
and this influence was in after
years called magic.
But the term is now applied in
differently to any and every sort OF
mysterious influence, especially if
that influence prompts to instan-
taneous action. And there's magic
in Gold. l have been somewhat
curious in regard to the nature of
gold, and to my utter astonishment,
have learned that it is not fit to
make an ak, a plow, knife, nor
even the most common utensil, or
mechanics tool, of any description,
so far as intrinsic value, is con-
cerned iron is inGnitly its superior,
and yet there's magic in gold. Do
you doubt it?
Just glance at its wonderful in
huence, fiji a mans pockets with
gold, this yellow metal, and he may
do, think and say what he pleases.
He may say the silIiest things
possiable and they pass more cur
rent than the proverbs Of Solomon.
He may wear a coat-a world to
wide, vet he is all that he should be;
he is praised by the world, and
leads the ton. Gold has made the
plainest face beautiful, the most
distorted form the pink of perfec-
ton. Gold supplies all deficiencies,
mental, mortal, and physical; makes
the simple wise, the foolish witty,
the profane blasphemer, a fit as
sociate, one whose society is to be
sought and whose example is to be
followed in all things; makes the
small large, aud the tail low aud
renders the possessor perfect in the
eyes of the world If you possess
gold you possess the true Alladin's
lamp of the world
Gold has paudered more aGectu-
ally to the mischievous tricks Of

A VALUABLE REPRINT.

The Humboldt Publishing Company
has issued a reprint of the once famous
and now almost forgotten book, written
by Patrick Edward Dove, on 1.-The Theory
of Human Progression" 1t is a work that
those who do not consider political econ
omy "the dismal science" cannot we'll
afford to do without. 1t is prefaced by a
biographical sketch of the author. who

Patrick Edward Doves book was, in a
sense, the forerunner of progress and
Poverty" and that Henry George owes
much to Dove there is the warrant of
Georges own declaration for believing. In
"The Theory of Human Progression the
natural method of land tenure, the Single
Tax, is clearly shown, and its author de-
clares that eventually political economy
will come to be a positive science, like
mathematics or chemistry, but this time
will not come until men have learned
that poverty is a result of ignorance of
the true and eternal laws OF society
rather than blessing from heaven. But
Doves book, as its name implies. is much
more than a treatise on sociological laws.
His argument is based on the law of evolu-
ton, but he begins-his evolutionary process
where Darwin and the others came to an
abrupt end. So long as the manifested
universe acts in pursuance of the evolu-'
tionary law, unguided by the element OF
free will there is no flaw in the natural
scientists. They weave beautiful, logical
theory, which accounts nationally (on their
own basis) for ali natural phenomena
below the human stratum. But when the
element of human will comes in play
these philosophers either cease their
PHILOSOPHERS or cease to be philosophical.
Dove went beyond them all ard showed
that there was logical connection between
all the sciences, and that. therefore, "there
is a necessary order in which they must
evolve chronologically." Reasoning on
this basis, Dove pointed out the chrono-
logical order of the sciences, end SO ac-
curately, too Tin SO far as experience has

as prophet. Indeed, in sense he was

REPLIES TO JUDGE BELCHER
A Juror Explains Why Mrs. Shattuck
Was Acquitted

|
John L. Mclaughlin, a member Of the
Shattuck jury, is angry over the COM
ments of Judge BeIcher upon the iury's
action in acquitting Mrs. Shattuck. He Is
the president of the Fairmount Improve
ment Club and man of standing in the
community.
In replying to Judge Belcher yesterday
he said:
"In the first place, on the plea of insan-
| ity the defense proved the proper medicine
had been administered to Mrs. Shattuck,
and if she was not suffering from the dis
ease stated the medicine might have killed
her. Doctors for the prosecution admitted
that was the proper medicine for that dis
ease. Examination OF physicians showed
that she had been suffering from erysip-
elias. That was some time before the MUIR
der was committed.
"In the next place Truly Shattuck wrote
| for Harry Poole. She said, Come quick
ii you love me because you may not find
mother alive when you arrive. l think
you can afford to forgive her. Come
quick
"Her deposition in the Police Ceurt
stated that she met him at the door and
went with him to the mothers room up
stairs. Mrs. Shattuck said, Are you 60
ing to marry my daughter?'
Harry Poole said, we cannot obtain a
license to-day, because the City Hall is
closed. But tomorrow, Monday, we will,
before she goes away
''He insisted on being married next day
and then Truly went out to get some water.
While outside she heard the report of a
pistol and on returning found Harry Poole
lying on the floor dying.
"The prosecution did not prove that
Mrs. Shattuck murdered him, nor that she
was not insane. The jury was at sea, for
there was no proof that Mrs. Shattuck did
commit the murder.
