ing any subtle craft means, or device, by
Palmistry or otherwise, to deceive OF

So it is evident to the authorities of
England that Palmistry is fake. Ihe
question may then be asked why do
reputable newspapers receive and pub
ish the advertisements of those who
may be deceiving. The reason is simple.
The newspapers rely to great extent t
upon the abounding good sense of the
people; if they, after reading of the
claims Of those who represent this art,
desire to have their palms read, it 10

the press. Another reason is tina there
is no law against the practice OF palm.

to meet both of those protesting the art,
who are now in the city. He has found
the lady and gentleman good patrons,
atfable 10 their business relations and
withal cultivated people, with whom it

The article above was inspired in re-
viewing volume OF the Britannica this
morning, wherein the word palmistry
occurred. 1t might be we'll to say in
conclusion that in this country there are
many believers in the art of palmistry,
and that those who have their palms
read, belong to the highest and best in
the land.

In this connection a few extracts

Court of Mississippi. which appeared
in the January Cosmopolitan will

men The acquisition of lands in
the Orient, nay, more, lands off the
American continent at all, is radical
departure from the teachings and the
practice Of the founders of the Re
public. It ought certainly to "give
us pause" in our eager haste to
annex Oriental possessions, when we
reflect that the, wisest, greatest, best
men of our mighty past stood in
unanimous opposition to such q
course. 1t pains one who has
thoughtfully read the lives and works
of these profound statesmen TO note
the aippancy with which the Monroe
doctrine is brushed aside by the pert
statesmen of this day with the snail
low observation that that doctrine
might have been good enough for us
when we were an infant republic. but
is wholly unsuited to our condition
today. The principle underlying
the Monroe doctrine was meant for
all time, was thoroughly correct and
profoundly wise. "No entangling
alliances with soy European govern
ment," whether English speaking or
otherwise, avoids the necessity for
large standing armies and the extrav.
sgaut taxation requisite to maintain

With Mr. Carnegie that we shall soon

"The first thing / wish especially
to call attention to is the fact that
only a military despotism can govern
the Philippine islands. The people
of the Philippine islands are divided
in into at least three races, all
Oriental, and each hostile to the
others their veins are full Of tropi-
cal blood. they are what their soil
and their sky and the usages of
centuries past have made them, and
they will remain essentially such !;

they are, point US to the great
