HALLEY'S COMET DUE TO
CROSS SUN MAY 18

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 6.-Halley's
comet will pass across the suns face
on May IS next, if calculations made
by Father G. M. Searle, G. S. p, the
New York astronomer, received at the
Harvard college observatory prove
correct. Father Searle based his in
tricate calculations from observations
made at Mount Hamilton, Cal, on
September II, 13 and IA, and at Will
liams Bay on September 26 and Oc-
tober 10.
Concluding the table of deductions,
Father Searle states:
These elements give a geometric
conjunction in the longitude of the
comet with the sun on May IS, 6:1S
Greenwich mean time, the comets
geometric altitude being then plus 4
degrees Is minutes. Although the re-
suit cannot, of course, be accepted as
final, it seems quite probable that
there may be transit"

ERROR
VOTERS NEED NOT DECLARE PAR.
TY POLITICS AT PRl-
MARES
One Section of Primary Law Held by
Supreme Court to Be Invalid
Amendment Should Have Been to
Registration Instead of to Election
Law.

Olympia, Nov. 6.-The state supreme
court has affirmed the decision OF
Judge Mitchell, of the Thurston coun-
ty superior court, holding invalid the
provision of the new primary election
law requiring voters to designate their
party affi1iation. The decision was
written by Judge Chadwick. 1t de-
clares that Gin a most laudable en-
deavor to correct an exis ting abuse
the last legislature altered section IL
of the primary law" and Gin it's at
tempt to meet a condition the legis-
lature has stopped short of it's pur-
pose, and it's endeavor must be held
to be Intellectual until proper amend
ment is made to the registration law
making compliance with the later law
possible.
The decision points out that the
new law in it's title fails to refer to
section IL, although it attempts to
amend it in the body of the act, and
further that this new law is an elec-
ton law, and cannot under any rules
of Interpretation be held to amend
the general registration law, as it had
intended to do.
This particular section held inef-
fectual was intended to prevent Demo
Gratis from taking part in Republican
primaries, and vice versa, and provid-
ed that at primaries 'the elector shall
have the right to receive the ballot
only of the party for which he regis
tered" The legislature neglected to
provide any amendment to the regis
tration law to meet this party declar-
alton, hence the act fails.
There had been general calls upon
the attorney general for determine
ton of this section of the primary law,
and some weeks ago Assistant AttOr-
ney General Tanner, with County At
torney Wilson and City Attorney Bige-
low, of Olympia, all Republicans, franz
ed a test case and submitted it to SUI
perior Judge Mitchell, of Thurston and
Mason counties. These attorneys all
contended the section was invalid, and
Judge Mitchell rendered a decisio
to that effect. By agreement the at
torneys took an appeal to the supreme
court, and because of the Importance
of the question, and the fact that pri-
mary elections are to be held in many
places in this state November 9, the
case was considered ahead of other
pending appeals.
Incidentally investigation of the new
primary law shows other void fea-
lures. The title purports to amend
sections 1, 2, 8, 5, 10, Is, 20, 80, 33
and SO of the 1907 law. Actually, the
body of the act attempts to amend Sec
lions 2, 5, 10, II, 10, %, 20, 80, SO and
3S. Section % relates to personal ex-
penses and advertising by candidates,
and under this decision, because this
section was not referred to in the title,
the amendment is void.

So it would have been II pure Chris4
tianity held sway in the land. For the
Catholic Church has more than once
condemned the evil of Spiritualism.
She recognizes under the disguise Of. O.
modern superstition one of the oldest
and worst offspring of Satan's brood.
The Church understands that Spirit,
ualism is one with the black magic
and necromancy Of the middle and an.
cient ages. Whatever reality there is
in Spiritualism is commerce with
Satan. Spiritualism is only another
name for devil worship.
The cult of spirits is a reversion to
paganism. And the neo-paganism, of
the present day is the direct result of
throwing over an infallible authority
Without infallibility there can be no
true faith; and where there is no true
faith superstition is sure to intrude.
Either God must be adored in truth or
Satan must be worshipped in falsehood.
These remarks need no excuse beyond
what has been offered. But perhaps
1t. is as we'll to say that the matter has
been brought to my notice as a local
mischief. Also, I have been. shocked TO
observe under the church notices the
advertisement Of the religious services
of the Spiritualist association These
are tangible results Of the absence Of
infallibility and Of the prevalence of
the fallible authority Of private judg-
ment. ~ sl 555,
