Can They Be Foretold7

The Jamaica calamity has revived
the discussion as to whether earth
quakes can be foretold, and scientists
do not seem to be able to reach any
conclusive opinion on the subject.
Some Of them are certain that there
are phenomena which indicate such
disturbances but others have their
doubts. There have been some curl
Gus prophecies, a London meteorolo.
gist having on Saturday predicted
that there would soon be two earth.
quake shocks in America, and doubt
less he will claim the jamaica catas-
trophe and the tremor said to have
been felt in Pennsylvania as a fulfill
ment. But it will be observed that he
furnishes no formula in the case, and
no one knows on what his calculation

and not mere assertion was, nothing
but guesswork, much after the gen.

tanry. At all events, says the Troy
Times, the world at large is not yet
satisfied that any reliable method Of
foreteling earthquakes has been
found Authoritative warnings of
such events might be the means of
saving many lives, even If damage to
property could not be averted.

The Reiun Of Property.

Property, the sense Of property, the
love Of property, the regard for the
rights of individual property-all that
is undoubtedly the strongest element
In our Anglo-Saxon inheritance. The
rights Of property are better safe
guarded by law in the United States
than in any other civilized community
on the earth. Human life is cheap
with us, but property can do almost
what it will, regardless of the COM
mon good, of life itself. Next to US
among civilized nations in regard for
property come the English from
whom we inherit our reverence for
personal possessions. There is dis.
tinction. however, between the Eng
lish and the American attitude toward
property. Here in America We wor-
ship money the raw medium OF ex
change itself that can be counted In
figures and put in the bank; we don't
say "a man of property" when we re-
fer to a rich man, but We call him a
millionaire or a Millionaire. We don't
think of his houses. his land. his fur.
niture or his pictures, but Of his dol
lars. The English think of all these
possessions into which money trans
lates itself. That, says the Saturday
Evening Post, is sign of greater de.
velopment; we shall come to that
idea. are coming to 1t. Again. in Eng.
land there is one class that loves
property supremely and is identified
with 1.-THE upper middle class. In
America we all love money, irrespec.
tive of class, and speak in terms Of
money.

Kentucky Court
Upsets Democrats.

Lexington, NY, March % The
Kentucky Court Of Appeals rendered
decision declaring unconstitution-
al the legislative redistricling act OF
March, 1906, sustaining also the de-
cisions Of the two Circuit Judges,

the other n Republican.
1t is claimed that the decision will
loose the Democrats seven members
OF the Legislature, which it was In.
tended TO gain by the gerrymsnder,
and will render more doubtful the
election OF j. C. W. Beckham, who
succeeded James b. McCreary as
United States Senator. The legisla-
ton, 1t Is claimed, was to render the
State machine independent OF the
Louisville politicians, who refused to
vote for MIR. Painter, who defeated
Black burn for reelection to the Uni
ted States Senate.
Secretary A. S. Bennett, OF she Re-
publican State Committee, gave out
an interview in which he says there
is still more work along the same
line to be done at once, and urged
the members OF his party to come
forward with assistance. This re.
veals the plan of which the Republi-
cans have been bending every effort
Tor the past year. There is much
concern among the Democrats here,
lest the Legislature should be divid.
