A total eclipse Of the Sun on
this 128th day occurs in a sign
of the zodiac that is held by
astrology to betoken future ef-
fects on the earth in the nature
Of public excitement, panic on
exchanges and other places
where money is the only con-
trolling factor, and much poIit-
icaI trouble everywhere.
British astrologers foreteIi a
scarcity Of foodstuffs owing to
drouehts during the summer,
especially in the east. Austria
liza and Tasmania are said by
them to be In danger of severe
climatic disorders. Borneo, New
Guinea and other islands in the
Pacific ocean are under the d.
rect rule Of this eclipse, which
indicates earthquakes, volcanic
outbreaks and tidal waves or
great sea storms before the end
Of the year.
The Sun today is in an aspect

Uses permanence and stability
for things undertaken with
noble, unselfish, ideaIistic or
spiritual motives. The time is
i'll for mercenary matters, or
for anything inspired by vanity,
coquettishness, hatred or envy.
Persons in authority will
benefit themselves as we'll as
others If they show mercy and
kindness in this period.
Mars promises alienation
from physicians, surgeons or
methods Of treatment, short
journeys In pursuit Of rest or
cure, voyages for the sake Of
health and change Of habits.
It will be we'll to avoid any
thing that may lead to quarrel
in these "a hours. Care should
be used in anything concerned
with fire. There is danger in
weapons.
Over indulgence In food or
drink Is under a menacing sign.
Persons with this birth date
are under auspices that give a

DO WOMEN WANT TO VOTE?
SHOULD THE WOMEN WANT TO VOTE?
(AFFIRMATIVE)
BY Mrs. Sofia Loebinger,
Leader of. the Fighting Suffraaets.

Women must vote because
modern life, more complex than at
any time of human existence, de-
mands it. Men, too busy with
moneymaking schemes, find no
time for higher public activities,
and therefore the commonwealth
suffers.
Women must step into the
breach to assist men. Public well
fare without woman's participa-
ton is impossible.
Educated women have as much
conception of public affairs as men;
they are better adapted because
they are more altruistic; they have
finer sense of honor, RESPONSE
bility and intuition.
Affairs of our country are
such that woman's assistance is
pressingly needed, for men have
thus far made failure of democ-
racy, which should be an ideal
form, ~ o,orarr,,on%

SHOULD THE WOMEN WANT TO VOTE?
(NEGATIVE)
BY Mrs. Julian Heath,
.cretary Anti-Suffragist League.

The ballot does not aid women
when they use it themselves. They
have never used it to benefit
themselves, and they never will
nor can.
Women have had the right to
vote in Utah, yet they have never
voted out polygamy. Why did not
the women of Utah vote out Sen
ator Reed SmOot, a Mormon? All
the women of the country cried
out against him, but the women
voters of Utah did not act.

children are not in these states.
