TALKED SENSE TO JURIES.

Every little while some lay publication, dissatisfied
with the the courts run, boils and says
things enough for repetition and comment
instance this the Saturday Evening Post:
We wonder what would happen to American juris-
prudence if lawyers required address them
selves the jury's intelligence, discussing facts

a Judge has in discussing the law
Suppose lawyers discussed criminal cases to the

than with fact So we strayed from rational

A beginning might easily be made along one of the
lines suggested by the Saturday Evening Post Public
prosecutors might content themselves with setting
forth the precise facts, they see them in dis

the dignity sanity and righteousness of the state md

The latter could hardly be expected TO reform all

THE YELLOW DELUGE.

In a few days more. Food Administrators Hoover,
gigantic crop will begin 10 make itself felt.
The corn flooding the market, will bring lower
prices fer all products, and for things
indirectly depend No longer will it be neces-
sary pay more for meal than for wheat flour,
much for chicken feed and horse feed for
human food Mr.. Hoover expects that beef pork, milk
and various other foodsuffs perhaps bread will
register the relief in lower prices.
It's good And everybody hopes it will prove
true. If it doesn't there will be something wrong with
the food system and work for the government.
Nothing interfere with this benefcen influence Of
the crop except speculation and monopoly. That

farmer who raised the down the dealer who
retails it in any OF its manifold forms.

TUESDAY, DEC. II, 1917.

This is fairly lucky day. for
Mercury, Jupiter. Venus and Mars
are all in benefic aspect. Saturn
alone is adverse.
There is a sign encouraging TO
initiative for any sort, especially in
the line of future trade with for
eign ports.
Publicity has the best possibly di-
rection under this configuration,
and will continue TO be extended in
new fields. as was prophesied long
before its value in government en-
terprises connected with the war
was demonstrated.
Fame for an American writer
again is prophesied, and his work
may be the foundation for a new
literature.
Venus gives great promise to
lovers today, and the rule is most
suspicious for weddings.
Dealers in jewelry or ornaments
for women should benefit from the
planetary sway today.
Again Mars gives kindly promise
TO the army and TO those who guide
its destiny.
The seers foresee as a result OF
the war an advance toward the mil
lennium in the United States, which
will in the new year enter into a
period of wise living that will ex-
emplify the principles Of democracy
The stars foreshadOw disappoint-
ment and heartache for all who seek
personal acclaim or success for sell

From this it appears that, for
Germany, this war is the decisive
step toward a real world policy,
which she was compelled to take
because the triple entente, that syn
dictate of great land monopolists,
prevented her from peaceful eXpan-
sion, from obtaining the elbow
room which she requires by peace
full means. We must therefore look
upon this war as necessary for two
reasons-it is not only a question OF
finally repelling the advance of Pan
Slavism, but also Of opening up a
way for the German people to de-
scend TO the rank of a world power.

ject of the ware"
