rience that events show juries some
times make mistakes. In some in

stances judges impose sentences that
prove to be too severe. Such cases,
however, are exceptional. In vast
majority of cases jnries render right
eous verdicts, and judges impose just
sentences. Believing as / do, that it
is to the best interest of all the peo-
pie that the verdicts of juries, and the
judgments of courts should be proper

Need Council Of Defense.
After careful consideration of the
task that is before us incident to war
and the readjustment period, it is my
opinion that it would be wise for this
general assembly to continue for an
other year the State Council of De-
fense. If such an organization was
important in time of war, and few will
deny that it was not, it seems to me
equally important for short period
at least Immediately following the
war. 1t will not be necessary to ap-
propriate as much money for this
body as was appropriated the past
year. An appropriation of $4,000 is
considered sufficient, and I trust you
will find it consistent with your duty
to make this appropriation with a
view to the prosecution of vigorous
campaign to arouse our people to the
importance of better education facili-
ties and various other questions which
will be acute for while.

Mars, Venu and Jupiter are all in
benciic aspect today, according to as
trology. Neptune is unfriendly.
1t IS a rule read as most fortunate
for business affairs, especially if at
tended to in the evening or late in the
afternoon.
Physicians will be much in the pub
lie eye during the next few weeks and
there may be an epidemic of fever.
Pneumonia, also, will be prevalent
during the fall.
Hospitals are subject to the best
sort of directions. Benefactions and
improvements are foretold for them.
Increased demand for men and wo-
men of executive ability is indicated
by the stars and there will be a strong
trend toward intensive work in many
lines of business.
Women are subject to forces max
ing for business success and should
improve all opportunities offered dur

Love affairs are favorably directed

there will be a negligible class that ig-

This should be a lucky wedding
day, but it will be more fortunate for
the bride, if the ceremony is perform

A great leader will arise among them

Persons whose birthdate it is have
