In very able article in the Septem.
Der number of North American Re-
view, Senator H. G. Lodge advocates
the election of Theodore Roosevelt to
the presidency. Senator Lodge de-
scribes are pending national campaign
as being somewhat unusual in It's char
acter, inasmuch as there is no domin-
ant OF q new one. The question the
people must decide is whether the
national policies shall be carried on
and the government administered as
they have been during the last eight
years, or whether the policies and the
administration shall be entrusted to
new and untried hands. The cardinal
consideration, therefore, is, What has
the party in power been doing. and
what Is the party out of power likely
to do under prevailing conditions and
in the face Of existing problems. Ap-
plying this rule to present questions
OF public interest, Senator Lodge
brings forward strong array of rea-
sons why the national verdict should
be cast in favor OF the republican
candidate In their treatment of the
starin, the republicans have always
Brought prosperity to the country;
there is nothing in the past bungling
cot the democrats TO promise anything
but disaster as the result Of their
treatment Of It. As to the currency,
there is no difference Of opinion as to
the monetary standard In republican
ranks there Is the utmost diversity
8of opinion among democrats. The
republicans have SO managed the
foreign relations OF the country that,
being at peace with the whole world,
the United States has never been more
respected abroad; the democrats,
Z when last they controlled our foreign
reaat ions, reversed the policy Of Ameri-
in regard to Hawaii, and their

S, Colonel Benton is a good democrat
and a veteran one as well. He was
elected at the recent meeting of the
democratic candidates and state cen
trail committee to act as chirman Of
the campaign executive committee,
but he has declined the honor, owing
to the fact that it will be impossible
for him to give the necessary time to
the work. When the colonel gives up
his time he does not propose to give
it for t3lost cause" if he can help it.

A BalIade Of the True Poet.

Brothers! who follow the seas of so,.E
Mariners brave on an ocean wide.
Bearing away with hearts so strong
For haven fair on the farther side;
Stand to your course with dauntless
pride.
Calamity breastlng the foam and gale
And staying not for the storms that
chide.
For who shall stand If the poets fail?
What IL the voyage be wild and long
Ger an ocean that roaring CULTS d.
vide.
Strewn with shoals where the dark rocks
throng,
And beautiful islands to hope denied.
Trials that stanchest hearts betide.
Dangers that bravest souls assail?
Bear up. though your sorrows be multi
piled.
For who shall stand If the poets fail?
Heed not the balks and blows that wrong,
The crosses that hinder. the cuts that
In fairest shows that to guile belong;
Though the heart be grieved and the
soul be tried,
Courage! and valiantly all outride!
Sighs are for towards who quake and
quail:
For who shall stand IL the poets fail :?
Brothers! whose faith is a lamp and
Mid times that question and tongues
Oh. yield not ye. though the world de-

making inquiries into the cheapest
forms Of producing light, experimental
with Cuban firefiies among other
things. The insects were placed in the
center Of concave mirrors and the most
delicate instrument in the government
observatory was employed to measure
the amount of heat radiated by them.
A sperm candle was used for COM
parison and q flame spot from 1t which
was just as big as the freely was
thrown into the mirror.
The instrument recorded the heat
from the candle at once; but no
movement was caused by the insect,
although the instrument was SO deli
cate that, had the fireny produced
even as little as one eighty-thousandth
part Of the heat produced by the tiny
spot from the candle, it would have
shown on the records.
1t was different with light. Compar-
ing the flame spot of the candle and
the light from the insect, the instru-
ment showed that the firehy gave one
eighth as much light as the candle.

flame. it was found that the insect
gave light amounting to one sixteen,

With one accord they use it as if it

"glamor" is obsolete in the vocabu-

sort of defect of vision, causing the
victim to see things differently from
the reality, probably glaucoma or oph-

TENNIS PLAYING IN JAPAN.
Native Women Have Taken Cordially

Japanese women, for all their pret-

est in athletic sports. An American
woman tells how she played tennis
in Japan with native women.
1T is wonderful how agile they
are" she said. land it certainly is a
most extraordinary sight to see them
playing in the regular Japanese dress,
the pretty soft silk robe so associated
with reclining ease. and the thick
soied sandals.
You can't imagine the effect of
the sunlight on the sheen and gor-
geous hues of the silken dress. OF
course, the serve and return of the
balls sends the gayly costumed little
ladies' into the prettiest of posturing.
They look like flowers lightly blow
ing about the court.
The thick-soled sandals are rot
hard to run in. Indeed, I was assur-

the sport.

met set up strong enough game to
play with their husbands. who en-
joyed the imported game immensely"
