ROOSEVELT AND THE PLANETS

T HERE is more trouble for President Roose-
- velt A Hoboken astrolsger is warning
him against going to Africa to make war on the
monkeys and other animals that hold forth in the
dark continent Professor Meyer is the name of
the prophet that fortes misfortune that awaits
Mr.. Roosevelt Certain it is that Wall Street
and the predatory interests" arc not urging
Meyer TO make his predictions for the President
recently remarked that Wall Street would be
de-elighted when the President left the White
House
Meyer evidently is trying to keep the Presi-
dent with MS. The l1oboken prophet has been
casting the Presidents horoscope The plan
cts, the astrologers say, rule the world. When
they are angry the world feels the effects of
their wrath This particular astrologer says the
President will prove himself to be a bold man
if he goes to Africa after the plaJets, through
Meyer, have told him that he must not go.
The planets say that Roosevelt will be in
danger OF cholera. scarlet fever, typhoid fever
and insanity. During the latter part Of January
the evil planet Uran.- will be transitng the
first mansion OF the heavens. Mars will also be
assisting Uranus in ruling things from above.
AS Mars is the God of War, he should have
fellow feeling for the President and compassion
on him, for the President is supposed to be
devotee of the military.
The professor gives no explanation of why
the evil planets should mark the President as
their specific prey. Surely the trusts have sent
no word to Uranus, Mars and the rest Of them
TO make war on Roosevelt
Chancellor Day. OF Syracuse University the
warm apostle of the trusts, is neither an astroo-
ger nor an astronomer and it is unlikely that he
has communicated by wireless with the planets
However Mr. Pulitzer, of the New York World,
and Mr.. Laffan, of the Sun, have no love for the
President, and il may be that the World and the
Sun have asked other celestial bodies high in
the air to send dire Affections upon the Pres-
dent.
Perhaps the President has anPered Mars and
Uranus perhaps they have read his messages.
Perhaps his verbal thunder has shaken them as
il has shaken BRYAN, Haskell and a few others
on this earth
AT anv rate we had not supposed that the
President had disturbed the universe and that his
influence had extended bevord this world,
DESPITE the warnings of Professor Never the
President will not abandon his intention of go
inc TO Africa FTe will not miss the chance TO
get into conflict with Mars and Uraneus il they
show fqht They would be larger game than
even elenhants
Professor Movers snunt into the future is
not circumstance to the horrfvino things
which other prophets have seen for the PFesi-
dent and which it must be said, did not come
TO pass Other future-Pazers have had him
blown IN by bombs stabbed with knives IN the
hands of assassins nOisoned hv hendish ser
wants. wrecked on railroad trains and sunk IN
ships
The Hoboken seer is, therefore, considered a
verv mild hammered amateur at the star-Pazne
business IF he cannot promise the President
ANYTHING worse than that horoscope" said an Of
6cial at the White House, 1--WE shall refuse to
nav anv attention to him whatever | fear as
prophet, Mr. Meyers is certainly far behind III
