NO USE FOR PROPHETS.

To the Editor:
The winter is over" is boldly and
fearlessly proclaimed at the top of
column of The Light Sunday, adding
-that the huisache tree never blooms
until the last probability of frost is
gone"
There Is a familiar saying among
old residents that "anyone who at
tempts to predict the weather in Tex
as is either a newcomer or a fool"
The weather clerk has my sympathy
that is, if he takes his position serious
ly. There is no such thing as predict
ing the weather in Texas-no more
than there is a chance Of anybody tell
ing you or me what the future has in
store for us. Whenever ] hear OF a
medium, clairvoyant or card shark pa
rnded before the public as a wonder
who can reveal deep secrets of our past.
present and future, ! want to send in
call for the police or the undertaken,

kind of cattle be driven out of this
pasture, and outlawed.

mediums and believe everything they
tell them. / had the biggest kind of
a riot in my family when I discov-
cred that some of my women folks
were in correspondence with one of
these mediums. They saw his adver-
tisement in a Chicago weekly paper,
showing his picture with bed sheet
wrapped around his head. He was
known by some outlandish name and
styled himself "The Prophet" He
claimed to have "mystic" power to
delve into our lives and tell just what
has happened, what is transporting and
where we are headed for, at so much
per delve. He had fine line of dope
worked out to catch the unwary vic
tins. asked my folks il they be-
Ileyed what this fellow claimed he
could do was true. They did; they told
me. well" said, "if he knows so
much and can reveal such secrets he
would not be peddling his game around
through the newspapers. He wouldn't
nave to do that. He could get a posi-
ton and command his own salary. He
would be in a class without competi-
tion. Why the government would have
MN on its payroll to locate criminals,
+'AS.iS anu DboJleSRerS. lie would be
on the trail Of Clara Phillips long ago
and she would have been behind the
bars by now. His services would be
in demand by oil prospectors, for he
could tell them where oil is to be had.
II he knew so much he would acquire
leases himself after he had located the
OIL, and he would be the richest man
IN the world. If he knew so much. he
could tell just where a robbery was 70

on the scene and grab the robbers rcd

prevent railroad wrecks, airplane acct
dents and automobile smashups If he
knew what he claims to know or tries

How people can take a man like
this seriously cannot understand. IF
people seek happiness they should not
so to a medium, but find happiness
within themselves. That's the onIv
place where happiness is to be fonnj

heart and learn to know thyself. Then

OF his friend, Daniel r. Crissinger, Of
Marion. Ohio. to be the new governor ON,

Many Of the nations newspapers, in
discussing the mob outrages at Harri-
son, Arkansas, are inclined to find
| justifica ton on the part of the men
| involved because they operated un.
masked and seemingly had p-ovocation.
Others see in it Harrison answering
Herrin. Additional comment comes
| from those editors who seem inclined
to believe that a mob outrage is a mob
outrage no matter how and where il
takes place and who feel that If such
| lawlessness is not soon halted every
| where the fright to justice will be swal-
lowed up in the tyranny of the mob"
"For what these Arkansas farmers
did there was, of course, no legal ex-
cuse," the New York Times says but
, "at any rate, the farmers did not wear
masks when they went about their saw
| age work and seemingly they are pre-
pared to take the responsibility for il
| and defend it as necessary for the
Termination of an intolerable situation,
As for the strikers what they did, un-
fort -nately, was what too often has
been done by other unionists without
exciting the amount of union condemna-
| ton which such acts deserve from every
good citizen either in or out OF unions.
IL was Harrison answering Herrin,
the New York World suggests, zone
the exact opposite of the other. The
railway employees used sabotage to en-.
! force their demands. The citizens and
| farmers of Harrison could not afford a
local embargo and therefore organized a
vigilance committee to discipline the
| union. But the national deflation OF
labor would not lead to bitter open war
| fare in which mine guards are shot to
death and strikers are strung up by
merchants and farmers IL the principles
and practices of lynch law had not
taken a dangerous hold on the popular
| Imagination in many sections of the
| country. As a people we have not yet
discovered the futility of violence in ad-
justing our industrial difficulties"
There was mo excuse" for the mob
and its work, the Wall Street Journal
says and like most cases of public
disorder this one may be traced directly
to the cowardice of the civil authorities.
The railroads have law and justice on
their side they need no mob aid" There
is ian excuse" for what happened, as
the Philadelphia Public Ledger sees it,
because Harrison sis community mad
dened and made desperate by threats of
strangulation and by months of violence.
The 'vigilantes' of course have taken the
wrong way; but it is very natural. If
you are looking for what public opinion
can be like when sufficiently goaded by
violence here is a cross section of it 364
miles long in Arkansas" This view in
no way impresses the Albany News
Which feels that perhaps there is a
difference between mob rule in Bastrop,
La, and mob rule in Harrison, Ark,
but from the road it looks like mob rule
lust the same"
