AN EVENT FOR JAPAN.

The announcement that Prince Sadanaru will
leave Yokohama on October e. for the United
States, as messenger of the Emperor of Japan to
President Roosevelt and to the St Louis Exposition
encourages the idea for a special Japanese Day
while he is in st. Louis. In a sense he will repre-
sent the ruler Of his country. and therefore the
event would have greater significance if celebrated
during his Tist.
Japan, having leading display Mt the Exposi-
tion deserves to get extraordinary recognition The
Government and merchants of that progressive coun-
try have expended at least 81 100000 and probably
more, in producing an exhibition which, by popular
verdict, is second only to that of Germany. The
Japanese buildings and grounds looking not like
part of Forest Park but like scene transplanted
are among the highly enjoyable and instructive fea
lures in the whole environment The japanese dis
phys in the exhibit palaces are revelation as to
quick and acceptable advancement, and they are
constant marvel to visitors
Beyond this there are other reasons for special
Japanese celebration There is the friendship be-
tween Japan and the United States. There is the
present large Japanese population in st. Louis
There is the Official representation of the Govern
ment and merchants of Japan at the Exposition
There IS the visit Of prominent nobIelnan There
Is the purpose of this nobeman's mission to the

A Milky Way Theory.


novel theory as to the Milky Way has been evolved
by s. L. Adams. an amateur astronomer of Sydney N
S. ". This luminous phenomenon it appears, is really
a shadow.
'The Milky Way" says Mr.. Adams" "is constantly
being seen at many different angles and in many parts
Of the sky, but 1t always preserves the luminous
front arising from the telescope its back
ground
Now. as this background is constantly changing and
the luminous eec. is only wherever the foreground
happens to be the Milky Way, it is evident that 1t is
not the telescope stars themselves which produce the
effect hut something projected the foreground
sky. That something is the earths shadow.
'The supposed nebuIae," continues Mr. Adams "are
all shadows and this explains their contempt for the
laws of grayitaton and their refusal to the
slobuar shapes assumed by celestial objects generally
They are spots Of shadow representing mountains or
mountain ranges on the earth"

DODGES THE POINT.

Charles 8. Deneen coquetted with the Illinois sit
around closely at times. 1t seemed as If he were
about to say something important The next minute
he would be defending Republican policies in the
Philippines. His elOquence, summed up, was de-
voted to matters concerning the Senate the National
House and the President, and had very little to do
with the statehouse, the Illinois Assembly or mat
ters pertaining to home.
In view Of the fact that his candidacy before the
nominating convention based upon State ques-
tons, that in them the sole source of his
strength his present course does not win confidence.
1t would seem that he might be telling the people
of Illinois what, if anything he proposes to do for
them should he be elected His failure to announce
himself in this way must be accepted as confirming
the popular belief that he is under the duress of
bargain with the Yates machine He says nothing
Of civil service or the auditing system. He con-
tents himself with weak declaration for general
primary.
Certainly Mr. Deneen should not possess the con-
fdence of the voters of State and party until he
makes some answer to the questions directed at
him by Lawrence B. Stringer. Stringer requested
him to tell fhe truth concerning his alliance with
Yates by which the latter gets the State patronage
and Culloms seat in the Senate. Here is the rub
He does not answer; which is to say that he cannot
promise to destroy the old gang or to abolish ma
chine methods; that he is bound by an alliance with
the gang

matter was brought up at a State session
held last March. but the Missouri division

ENLARGING PROSPECTS

Interest in Indiana and Mr.. Taggart's cyclonic
campaign increases as the campaign wakes warmer
Through the whiriwind efforts of the campaigners
overground and the effective poIiticianIy iabors
quietly pursued many people have been impressed
with Democracy's chance to carry the State. Re-
publicans have been thrown into grave doubt A
prominent Indiana Republican says: 81 should not
be surprised to see our party lose both New York
and Indiana Yet We would win. We can afford
lose them both" But the more reasonable opinion
would seem to be that with Indiana added to New
York Democracy would win easily The forces
which would sway those States would sway Others
Of the doubtful" States.
Wisconsin looks more favorable from the Dem
ocratic standpoint as time wears on. The "stal-
wartst" opposed to La Toilette, seem to have given
ov6 their plan to work for the national ticket
Speoner Quaries and other prominent StaIwart lead
en are apparently suffering the most acute disaf-
fectton. Ar. Roosevelt is anxious to have the
Staiwart ticket withdrawn from the field and in
general the Republicanism Of the State presents a
lurid aspect Of antagonism, while the Wisconsin
Democrats are working with vigor never before
possessed. Both Republican factions express pro-
found doubts to the success of the national ticket
though Governor La Toilette confidently expects to
carry the State for himself. La Follettes friends
It s said are willing to the top Of the ticket as
