Views of A Spectator.

continues It's TRADE OF abuse
against everything that does not
happen to be in line with it's po-.
litical belief. Before Mr.. John
son became entangled with the
Advocate every one looked on
him as a man fair in every way.
But now he Classics Hagan,
Stair and nearly all the Nonpar-
tisan candidates in the same
class as Kate O'Hare.
What is wrong with Hagan
that he should not be our State
Senator? The reason is quite
simple. The Advocate and it's
hackers are afraid of Hagan be-
cause Of his sterling worth and
unimpeachable character. Mr..
Hagan made us a good represen-
tative and will make us a good
clean senator, a man who has
shown by his actions that he
stands for what he believes to
be right. He is not afraid to
take issue with the opposition,
but at the same time Mr.. Hagan
is busy doing his bit by farming,
threshing and minding his own
business, while his critics fume
and fret because they are only
too sure of this man of the people
being elected. The Advocate
continues to say that they can
not see how the people Of Botti-
neau county could prefer Hagan
to Romsos. It is plain to be seen
why they should prefer Hagan.
Any person that has the backing
of the Advocate is reason enough
why the people should prefer
that persons opponent. W. be-
lieve Mr.. Romsos is a good, clean
citizen but the bunch that is
backing him makes the average
voter shy at the bait and line be-
cause it is held in the hands of
those interested in the so-called
Advocate.
The Advocate still rants about
H. B. "A being the issue at the
coming election. This question
surely is both childlike and sim
pie. If the opposition's eyes
would open to the current events
of the state they would find that
the proposed ten amendments to
the state constitution embody
the best there is in H. B. a..
Since they have raised this is
sue why in the name Of common
sense do they not go after the
amendments and make the peo-
pie see that they are wrong. Ev-
cry old bachelor gets cranky at
times and this is the case with
the editor of the Advocate. Be-
cause he cannot make issues out
of nothing he becomes morose,
sad and sullen.
In the primary election the is
sue of loyalty was raised by the
Steen boosters, but we do not
hear much of a howl nowadays
from the opposition since "Herr
Doyle" as he calls himself, is
trying to get the German vote
by his camouflage Of the Ger
man language. The German
people are not so easily fooled
as Mr.. Doyle thinks they are.
Now that the loyalty issue is
turned agains them, Big Bust
ness looks into the future
with a sad and dismal coun-
tenance. Too bad Matt to give
you this but hope you will pull
thru the political defeat which is
in store for you and yours.

Butter and Eggs Profits.
70 the Editor of The Star

To the EDITOR OF Inc star.
Your esteemed paper tonight states
that creamery butter has jumped to 50
cents per pound. The rise is explained
by the food administration as caused
by heavy purchases by the govern
ment. Eggs are also up to 72 cents a
dozen, but apparently none were
bought by Uncle Sam. Now I would
like to say that I think the food ad-
ministrators have lost most won
derful opportunity. They have exer-
cised their power in holding down the
little corner fellow who made a net
profit on a tub of butter of about so
cents. and on a case of eggs about 55
cents. l want to know why it is that
the big fellows have gone on the same
as every other year and made $40 to
s12 on q tub of butter and $6 to IS on
a case of eggs. without even the
trouble of opening them. All butter
and eggs that are being sold now
have been in storage and were bought
at contract prices same as usual. In
such times as We are passing through
demand should not be an excuse for
high profits. II fixed price OF 40
cents a pound for butter and 40 cents
profit above the contract pricesdiYided
with the little fellows there would be
peace in the human family and the
little fellows might survive a while
longer. No amount of argument can
Justify a big profit simply because
there is a demand for goods. ..

'Ieeland's Prophet."
TO the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor of The Star.
i The article which appeared in the
Magazine Section of The Star for Oc-
tober 90, 1918. under the caption '1ce-
lands Prophet" was exceedingly in
teresting and, because of it's apparent
" startling condolences, doubtless
formed the topic of considerable COM
inent and speculation.
/ However, the application of the
most superficial mathematical anal
.sis to the figures presented destroys
their=value as a basis of prophecy and
removes the apparent condolences.
The prophet finds, in the cases of the
President of the United States. the
president of the French republic and
the rulers of various other countries
of the entente allies, that the age of
the ruler. the year of his birth, the
j year in which he began to rule and the
number of years he has ruled, when
. added. produce, in every instance, the
fum 1856. which, divided by two, Yields
j 91S.- From this he concludes that the
war will end or that, at least, some
great event will happen during the
: present year.
The fallacy of the reasoning ap-
pears from the fact that by the very
same process it could have been
proven in any other year since the
war began that it would end that
year and, likewise, if the war should
continue for ten or fifty years it could
be proven by the same process, in any
year. that it would end that year
Again, the same condolences would
be found to exist with respect to any
other group of men or all the men in
the world.
The sum 1886 is made up by the ad-
I Gition of TWO pairs of numbers. The
first pair includes the mans age and
;he year he was horn. 1t is manifest
! sthat these, added, produce 1918, whe h
t'r he iS twenty years of age or ESQ
likewise nj any period of his life the
addition of these two numbers would
{ produce the then current calendar
) Year. The other pair are the year he
began to rule and the number of years
! ne has been in office. These would in
) kvitaply produce 1918. whether he had
ruled one year or sixty. At any period
pf his rule or reign these two numbers
would when added, give the then cur
! rent u .endar year.
I The prophets striking condolences
I resolve themselves into the formula
, that may be expressed as follows: ....
plus 1918 will always produce twice
1918 and twice 1918 divided by two will
: always bring back 1918.
