that. although horoscope is used and
the performer says that he cannot tell
fortunes, but that he may be able to
forecast the future with the aid Of as
trology, which he terms science, the
practice constitutes fortune telling,
and therefore the performer is guilty
of vRgrsncy under the law.

THE MEMPHIS FLOOD.

ant and serious. There will be suf-
fering and loss. and, in the opinion
of some of the city fathers, resultant
levils. People have had to leave their
homes and seek higher grounds,
which is a great embarrassment. and
entails a considerable loss upon thos,'
least able to bear it. A few of the
streets are flooded. interrupting traf-
fic. The gas plant has been tempo
rarily put out of commission. and
this involves the denial of great
convenience to many people. II is a
misfortune which we all would like
to have avoided, but it is not a wide
spread calamity.
II has often been noticed that the
first report of fire. battle or Il
food, or of any other disaster, is al
ways greater than the facts justify
People are alarmed and terrOr-strick-
en-. and the Imagination takes wings
and flies TO extremes. This was the
case with us.
A little reflection will SHOW that
things are not as bad as they might
be. The flooded district, all told, oc-
cupics not more than eight or ten
blocks of the city. Insofar as the
people living in these blocks are CON
eerncd. the calamity is great and
much dcplorcd by everyone. But
we must reflect that Memphis COW
ers more than nineteen square miles
of territory, not Il foot of which,
with the exception of these eight or
ten blocks. is inundated or even mem
accd. Even those who are not
skilled in geographical measurements
will not fail to realize that eight
blocks is only small portion OF
nineteen square miles. Our friends
away from here who have been SO
volunteering assistance
will see from these figures that Mem
phis is abundantly able to care for
ner own people during the period of

Say what you will. the primary il
the peoples long suit, and they will
be fools indeed if they ever allow a
return to the convention. In his
young days. as a newspaper reporter,
the writer attended many political
conventions. and saw the inside of
numerous deals. and knows beyond
dispute what very little chance the
people had of having their wishes re-
sarded. Everything was decided by
rings. sometimes all by one ring.
and the only choice the voters had
was between one bunch of politicians
ana another. and as the different
punches often had an understanding
with each other. even that choice
was more fancied than real. Now
adays. the candidates must go before
the people, and the people look at
'hem and listen to them. and pick
those who please them best. The
pople make mistakes sometimes, but
tney come nearer being correct and
than anything else on
the face of the earth; and if they do
make a mistake, its their mistake
and they can pay for the mistakes !
plus the rascalities Of the politi. ,
clans. So when you hear a man in
against the primary. swat
him and his friends every time they
go Into politics, for they are trying
to take away . very large portion Of
your liberties.-Ocala Star.

A NEW VIEW.

One of tle lessons to be deducted
! from the outcome of the packers
trial at Chicago is that an lmpera-
ike necessity exists Tor applying the
recall to all unsatisfactory jury d.
cisions. The acquittal OF the beef
trust magnates has been received eN-
erywhere with disappointment. II
he uuestion were today put 10 4
vote before the people OF Chicago or
illinois or the United States. there $
little doubt that the verdict oil the
Chicago jurymen would be upset.
Then what more need be said? No
man who is in his full senses or who
is not completely STEPPED IN moral
obiquity will assert that fossilizeu
Judge is any better than twelve fOs-
SLICED farmers, clerks. and small
merchants, gathered together on
Jury. If man is guilty. the fac
that twelve men say he is innocent
cannot make him innocent, and any
law that permits such a travesty OF
Justice should be Immediately re-
pealed. II is true that bribing twelve
jurymen may be little more difll-
cult than buying up a single Judge
but there is nothing the predatOr;
interests cannot do if they set their
hearts upon ii. The recall of judi
rial decisions, while certain to post
ponc the outbreak of French revO-
luton in this country, cannot perma-
rently avert it. To do that We mus;
have also the recall of jury verdicts
and other legal formulate that stand
in the way of the peoples getting
just what it wants precisely when
i wants it.-New York Evening
