ASTROLOCY OF THE NEW YEAR.

1t really seems as if there were a
whole lot of grounds for the astrolo-
gers faith in planetary influence upon
human affairs. At any rate, one has
to admit that there are condolences
of astrologic' theory and earthly on
ditions that are interesting, if not
startling.
In the horoscope the planet Mars
will dominate, this year. We call
Mars the god of the war, and we GER
tainly will have war a plenty in 1918.
But there's another side, or attitude
of Mars that we don't often coonsider
he's also the god of mechanical
and other constructive enterprises.
Certain it is that, should peace come,
there will follow such construction,
or Reconstruction as the world new
er before saw.
The astrologers kindly inform Us
that. next to Mars, be he warrior OF
brickmason in 1918, the dominating
influence will be Venus, goddess OF
love. There will be remarkable ad.
vancement in women's interests, they
predict. We believe it. The women
are already busy, all over the earth,
and the only question is as to how
far they advance. Venus, too, is ex-
pected to exert her tender, soothing
penetrating influence to soften the
warlike disposition of Mars, who, we
are informed, is to approach her cycle
with some coyness but a desire to join
in the more gentle affairs of life.
We're not educated in the astral
sparkling of this pair, but here's hop
ing that they marry and settle down
inpeace, if Observation-Disclosures (Kans.)

A PROBLEM NOT YET SOLVED.

While it is undoubtedly true that ability TO
read and write is no final test OF good citizen
ship and also true that an educated CRIMINAL
is more dangerous than an ignorant criminal,
vet all our theories OF the advantages OF educa-
ton are wrong if an educated man Is not, on
an average the best citizen There should be
no relaxation whatever in our other quahfica-
tons for admission to this country. Evidences
of good moral character and ability to earn a
living should be insisted upon, but IN addition
TO these we should insist that the men and
women seeking homes in America shall be able
to read and write in their native languages.
Thus educated before coming here. they will
the more readily learn to read and write the
English language.
Many people have the impression that the
war has ended our mmi grafton problem Not
$50 It is true that during the first year of the
war the number of admissions greatly de
creased, and the number of departures greatly
increased leaving very small net lmml gra-
ton. During the second year of the war there
was a net immigration of 1884, and III the
year ended June thirty, 1917, the net increase
was 21649S. Since the United States entered
the war there has been falling off IN lmml-
grafton and an increase of emigration SO that
there is much smaller net increase in admis-
sions, but the figures for the fiscal year 1917
show that our inmi grafton problem is still
with us and must be carefully studied If we are
70 avoid the errors OF the past.

THE WINDS OF OPINION. >

Best friends of President Wilson are those
who realize the complex nature OF his splendid
prestige The elements OF it are intrinsic and
extrinsic. He is respected and supported by
the people for personal traits OF mind and char
acter so manifest they need not be recounted
here. But the main prop of MS position before
the country and before the world IS that he Is
president of the United States.
By reason of his office he personifes the na-
tional interest and honor. To US, to the world.
he is the concrete expression of the conscience
and the national purposes Of the United States.
Thus he unites US, polarizing our several
views, giving us a standard TO which TO con-
form our own necessarily varying opinions on
the successive developments of the unfolding
world tragedy

clined to support Secretary Newton D. Baker.

convincing evidence the military committee Of
the senate has brought out that the secretary
is temperamentally unfit for his vitaIIv IN

Rejecting patriots, and those who wish the
president the largest measure Of success and
the purest fame, VIII hope the report is mis-
leading. They will hope the president. in the
multiplicity of his labors, has not been de-
ceived by a sense of personal loyalty which.
creditable as it is to his character must WELD
when it conflicts with the supreme interest
binding upon him, upon the senate and the
house of representatives, upon us all.

Washington President Wilson said Significantly
that one had to leave the capital to learn wha
the American people were thinking, since Their.
