MONDAY, DECEMBER so. 1855

Adverse aspects rule o d a y, ac- cording to astrology. U n d CT this plantary government the wise will look ahead and forget the past.
 Bad news of national concern may be received from Europe and Asia. As the year closes fears will multiply and world peace may appear inn probable in the new year, but the seers foretell prosperity and good fortune for the United States.
 A new form of influenza may be prevalent in this country as well as abroad. Italian soldiers are to suf- fer from many diseases, among which are strange symptoms not formerly observed in their native land.
 Heads of large industries are sub ject to good influences that appear to presage success and fortune, all though in some places workers suf- fer greatly and cause much trouble. Strikes and riots are prognosticated for both the Atlantic and the Pacific Coasts. The Department of Labor is to have an exacting winter that may involve changes in personnel.
 Confusing and disconcerting pro- paganda will be disseminated at this time. Uraus and Neptune seem to en- courage wrong thinking and danger ous preaching.
 Japan, Australia, Ethiopia, Turkey, Arabia, Rumania and Poland are all under the destructive rays of Mars and Uranus in conjunction next April. It will be a period of great anxiety.
 San Francisco is subject to ad- verse influences that may be felt not only in strikes but in convulsions of nature.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of diverse ex- periences. It is wise to safeguard money and to avoid love affairs.
 Children born on this day probably will be versatile and, with an interest in humanity, will assume leadership in many fields. Subjects of this sign usually have engaging personalities and make friends easily.

shames efforts related in Brewster's Millions. These useless things dot every town and hamlet and show just how much reliance be placed upon the Presidents word"
 As newly appointed Chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Senator Joseph F. Guffey promptly issued a bistering denunciation of the G. O. P.s intellectual dishonesty, distortion inhumanity and vulgarity
 This astonishing diatribep said the Pennsylvania Senator, sinners down to listing of items of a thousand or more dollars each, such as the struction of roads between hamlets, but ignores the fact that such new highways in reality extend great distances and provide outlets for commerce and agriculture It excoriates as criminal extrava- gance item of $8,000 which provided badly needed work for destitute nurses to administer to the more deplorable cases of sick families on relief The draining of ase-breeding swamps within the limits of cities, in which there no legal provision for increasing the local tax burden is described indefensible extravaganza of public funds. Expenditure of sums of a few hundred dollars each render country schools habitable is in the eyes of the Republican Congressional Com mittee worthy only of condemnation and scorn"
 Considering that practically all of the aspirants for the G. o. P. Presidential nomination also have discussed the work relief program with derision and scorn it is pertinent for the people to inquire: What solution have Messrs. Mills and Fletcher and Maxey and Hoover and the Liberty League to offer? In their largest cty-Philadelpha- which they re- tained on November by decimated majority the Old Guard object strenuously to the city footing the bills they contend it is not the business of the State and vociferously-no more so they concentrate their attack upon Federal spending Thus they have abundant arguments against Federal relief against State relief and against local relief But is there any argument against all three which isn't argument against any relief at all?

OLD GUARD INCONSISTENCIES

While the reactionary critics of President Roose- vets recovery program usually manage to keep the discussion exceedingly non-specifc they seldom fail to illustrate the striking contrast between the philosophies of the New Deal and Old Guard
 Recently at Harrisburg. Justice George w Maxey, Republican member of the Pennsylvania high court, said of the Roosevelt Administration:
 Charatans misead the people by promises
 of an abundant life" obtained through the
 magic of legislation. They talk as though
 the puny laws of could nuify the laws
 of Creation which ordain that life is trial
 and a struggle The struggle for existence
 is not rhetorical phrase but bio
 logical fact; the Creator meant it so to be.
 Why try to egslate against the Almighty's
 purpose2
 This was attack not only upon the methods but the purpose of President Roosevelt to provide more security, less hardship and less suffering in the life of the average American human being. And Justice Maxeys frank invocation of the law of the jungle heartily applauded by National Repub- lican Chairman Fletcher who was present as a true interpretation of the Old Guard credo
 few days later the Hon. Chester C. Bolton, Chairman of the Republican National Congressional Campaign Committee, issued a 15-page booklet en- titled Roosevelt the Master" which undertook to ridcule the unemployment relief efforts of the Ad inistraon particularly it's Works Progress program Such projects hospitalization of the indigent unemployed, school repair and sewage disposal were held up as comcal For sheer coarseness and stupid y the pamphlet has rarely been equaled, until this year in political Literature"
 Hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars ' it asserted, have been frittered way. The rights of every civic ub-divsion from State down to the smallest hamlet have been infringed upon in the wild orgy of spending. Daily for months President Roosevelt has approved sqanderng in a way that

Strange Case of MT. Peek
(New York Times.l


 Concerning resignatons, concerning personal taste, there be no real dispute. Jefferson said that few Federal officials die and none resign But apparently MT. George Peek has resolved to be the great exception Some may wonder that he did not resign before He had sufficient provocation At first, Administrator of the Agricultural Act, he came into sharp differences with Secretary Wal lace. He had to leave the department but did not quit office He appointed financial adviser to the President foreign trade and gave advice which nobody took, besides publishing statistical documents that nobody read. Still the President asked MT. Peek not to desert the Administration, and made him head of the Export Bank, which did no business
 Meanwhile, MT. Peek had carried on a sort of running warfare with Secretary Hull on the ques- ton of reciprocal trade The Secretary had his way, but all the same MT Peek continued to place his services at the disposal of President Roosevelt. Seemingly the Canadian trade treaty, so repugnant to MT. Peek's convictions, has had something to oo with bringing him to the parting of the ways. Even the Presidents bland request that he prepare a detailed report on the agreement with Canada appears not to have been able to break his purpose to resign Perhaps he thought that his comments on a treaty already concluded would not be very effective in modifying defeating it.
 MT Peek has been long-standing anomaly in the Administration. He seemed to be always at loggerheads with his superiors except the President to whom he is no doubt sincerely devoted. and to make impossible teamwork due Subordlnaton in any Government department with which he was connected. Why, then did MT. Roosevelt hold on to him tenaciousy? Partly, it may be, out of per- sonal foundness but far more, it is to be presumed, out of a desire to retain one who was long known great Friend of the Farmer. MT. Peek was sup posed to be tremendous vote-compeer in the Corn Belt. Nobody thought to know the mind and intent of the farmers better than he. He an expert on wheat as well as machines with which to cut and thresh it. Such a could not be spared by Administration which lives and breathes Agriculture. But his friends report that he has determined to go
 If he does. will he go quietly? Or will he feel compelled to go out to his Western friends in blue jeans and tell them all about the monStrosites of the Canadian tariff agreement? Being the man One hopes that he would not read to the farmers those portentous tables which he drew up about the need of having exact balance of trade with each country where products are sold But he might protest that the Administration had sacrificed American farmers to Canadian all for the goods of protected manufacturers Indeed, MT Peeks intimates hint that he will go out General Johnson did to prove his love for the Admnistra- tion by stabbing it under the fifth rib. But some kind and prudent friend ought to draw him aside and him not to undertake attacks, like those of General Johnson which do not do any particular harm except to the man who makes them.
