StGnAlS From Mars

An astronomer now asserts that the
canals Of Mars are laid out SO rs 10
trace upon the face Of the planet tie
Hebrew word for 'God.'' This he
claims is evidence that our planetary
neighbor is inhabited by intelligent be
ings who heve been endeavoring to
communicate with the earth. Some
years ago three great lights were rol
served on the planet, forming tri,
angle. A great many observers held
that they were made as signal to the
inhabitants Of this sphere, and among
those holding to that belief the alleged
new discovery will be Of much interest
\ seeptical world. however, will wan,
to know how the canal builders Of Mars
got hold Of the language Of the He
brewS 1t may be held that it was
divinely communicated to them, in
which event sceptics will have to con-
tent themselves with declaring that
they do not believe it.
But, whatever the merit of apy of
these theories may be, the subject pre-
sents many interesting possibilities. IL
Mars Is inhabited by intelligent beings
no one can say what the measure of
their development may be. The neb-
nlar hypothesis makes the earth a
much younger member Of the solar sys-
TEN than Mars. Our red neighbor in
space may have been populated long
before, millions of years before this
planet was tit for human habitation.
We have a few thousand years OF his
tory; the people of Mars may have an
intelligent record running back through
period many thousand times as long.
In hundred years we have witnessed
Developments OF the human race that
have been astounding; and in the light
Of our record no one will be willing TO
say what million years of progress
may not have acco mplished in another
planet.
If our great grandfathers had been
told that in few years the world
would be girdled by railroads and tele-
graphs, lighted by electricity and talke 81
to over the telephone they would have
p onouneed it impossible. But il We
have done so much in two generations,
what may not neighbors in the heavens
have accomplish as a result of the work
Of ten thousand generations Of highly
developed genius? Who knows that
the people who live on Mars, il there are
slch, have not devised instruments by
means Of which they can watch the
worlds life in detail? Who knows
that there are not telescopes pointed at
US from the heavens through which the
watchers observe our daily movements
and in one grand sweep take in all the
plan Of our national life as we'll as the
details of the individual careers of ou1
citizens?
Nothing can he put down as imposs
BILE, and If we grant that those who live
on cur sister planet may have been
watching US SOW and reap during all
these generations Of our history, what
would be more natural than that they
should be exhausting every resource OF
their superior state Of development tc
attract our attention and enter into
communication with us Boise States

THE DEBS CASE.

The famous Debs case an outgrowtt
of the great railway strike which tool
place last summer, has reached its end
and Debs goes TO Jail. The Supreme
Court OF the United States has refused
to grant the petition OF Debs' counsel
for writ Of habeas corpus, and he will
be compelled to serve q sentence of six
months imprisonment. His only 90.
cape is . pardon from the President.
The decision Of the court 10 most i'm
Portant as establishing the right of the
United States government to enforce the
interstate commerce act and prosecute
persons violating the same. 1t also es-
tablishes the fact that the government
has right to send troops into any state
for the protection OF interstate commerce
and the mails from interference by q
body Of men engaged in the violation OF
national laws.
The vital force OF the decision is as
follows:
"The entire strength Of the Nation
may be used to enforce in any part of
the land the full and free exercise OF all
national powers and the security of all
rights intrusted by the constitution to
its care. The strong arm Of the national
government may be put forth to brush
away all distractions to the freedom OF
interstate commerce or the transpoYta-
tion OF the mails. Ii the emergency
arises the army OF the Nation and all its
militia are at the service Of the Nation
to compel obedience to its laws"
This 10 an affirmation Of the theory that
. majority shall rule and that the
national laws, enacted by the represen-
iatives Of the people, can and will lie
enforced. 1t Is the only foundation up
on " hich any nation can exist.
