THE FACTS OF LIFE

Remember Luren D. Dickinson, 90-year-old Gov ernor of Michigan, who recently took Mrs Roosevelt to task for a statement she made several years ago that in these days of cocktails women should learn how much they could drink and not go beyond the limit?
 We'll it seems the Governor (who became Michi- gans chief executive this year during his seventh term as Lieutenant Governor when his predecessor died in offce) went all the way to Albany, New York in June to attend the annual Conference of Cover nors the first such function he had ever been invited to tignify with his presence
 Said the Governor of Michigan to the Governors of all the other states and to anyone standing on the side lines who cared to listen" This is terrible!P
 What his excelency was deploring the rum and ruin" capers carried at the conference.
 That his fellow Governors either silent on his charges or refute them with the comment that Gov Dickinson's imagination ran away with him seems to make little difference.
 The Republican Governor. a Sunday school teacher and a prohibtonist. warned mothers ant daughters of the "hellish brink" of high life and cited scenes of women drinking-17 days after he returned to the comparative quiet of Lansing. Gate crashers at the party at Saratoga Springs included 'lbertines and social brutes endangering the young girls in attendance and liquor flowed like water depored Dickinson. There were no gate crashers everyone present being an official guest and the conduct of the group was in no way out of the ordinary says the president of the Albany Cham Der of Commerce which arranged the party. Another guest adds that Dickinson seemed to be enjoying him. self immensely.
 sign of the times is the fact that the editorial columns of the nations press unanimous in taking a fall out of the old Governor for his attitude
 The Cleveland Plain Dealer for instance, remarks: Michigan class itself with Texas and Okla homa two states which until have held fairly exclusive honors for Governors wont to sound off on matters commonly held to be of private concern only Governor Dicknson's personal standards, which are understood to be exemplary commendable, but he should insist that other people conform to his own yardstck'
 Says the Philadelphia Record: Now the obvious
 trouble with Dickinson is that he attended the parties at Albany and New York with his granddaughter. If he had had daughter and attended parties with her, the process of catching up would have been more gradual As it was, went through the liberalizng process of two generations in one big bnge. Everyone realizes that things are done today that our fathers and mothers wouldn't approve of. We're thinking of smoking-remember the furor about that? And the booner girls-remember how they mortified the righteous?
 M We're not saying the Governor is right, or that

MONDAY. JULY 31, 1889

Astrologers read this as an un- important day in planetary direc- tion. The morning is an unfavorable time to make plans or decisions. Un- certainty may mark the policies of national leaders.
 Capitalists and heads of busi- ness may be cautious and even anx- ious under this configuration which threatens changes in the worlds commercial relations.
 There is a promising sign for those who have the courage to make determined beginnings in ambiti- ous enterprises. Manufacturers will gain through demands for new ma chinery necessary in modern busi- ness.
 The ultra violet ray will be useful in many ways outside hospitals and physicians offices. Prospectors will gain through science which will bring them helpful methods of dis covering minerals.
 WOIIlell VIII Uc lazy uiiNC4 tilis1 rule of the stars which presages suf- fering from the heat. Diet should be meagre and the sun should be avoided.
 Under this configuration agita- tion concerning psychic phenomena may be widespread. Communications through occult means may alarm the superstitious and interest the scientific mind.
 Belief in the supernatural may be occasioned by strange influences presaging coming events of amaz- ing character, the seers declare. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of activity and profitable industry. Weddings in the family are foretold.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be high-strung and very talented. Many subjects of Leo are quick tempered but popular. Lead CTS in politics and philanthropy be- long to this sign.
