Russia shows no sign of giving up
the fight, which, as things look now,
will be so much the worse for Russia.
Japan can continue the struggle as
long, APPARENTLY, as her enemy can, and
nobody looks for any turn in the tide.
Japan has the best leaders and the
best fighters. and has more of them at
hand than has Russia.

BABY'S ESCAPE A MIRICLE
After q Runaway and Their
Child Unhurt.

st. Louis, Aug. 3O.-In the most re-
markable runaway accident which has
ever occurred in Forest park, Sunday,
Patrolman William B. Walton and his
wife, Emma, were seriously if not IA
tally hurt, while Ralph, their baby boy,
who was hurled from the buggy with
his parents, escaped without a bruise.
His escape is SO remarkable that the
police of the mounted district. who
found the child playing in the road
beside the unconscious bodies, believe
that his escape was a miracle.
1t is hardly thought that Mr.. and
Mrs Walton can recover.

Give Us a Campaign of Education.

From the New York Herald.
 What is the matter with the demo- cratic managers? is the outcry of all independent and non-partisan lovers of good government who purely for the nations best interest most earnestly desire real campaign of education. 1 or many months the republicans have been skilfully and thoroughly organ ized and assiduously preparing in every conceivable way to ensure victory in this years elections, while since MT. Roosevelt's nomination their veteran leaders have everywhere redoubled their efforts to secure success. They have flooded the land with literature setting forth their peculiar conten- tions, and in view of the serried ranks which their forces present on the great political battlefield it seems imperative that the democratic hosts should in- stantly organize and unite more solidly than ever be1ore. Irrespective of all party bias every intelligent patriot ishes to see tremendous issues of this campaign honestly elucidated by the ablest minds of both great political parties. But thls will be impossible unless the democratic leaders hasten to follow the wise example Of their rivals. If the national and state gov ernments. are not to suffer for years to come from orgies of partisan legls- .latlon, which are always inevitable in the absence of powerful opposition, there is no time to be lost in giving voters in every state all the light they may need to guloe them to wise exercise of the elective franchise
 There is every reason for Judge Par ker's friends to take cheer and to em- ulate the industry, discipline and unity of their wary opponents. From the moment that the democratic nominee thrilled the country with his ever memorable message to the St. Louis convention on the gold standard, his canvass has rapidly improved and his unselfish devotion to the cause he rep

WIFE AND HUSBAND

PRINCESS ALICE DE BOURBON ARRIVES IN ROME TO URGE VATICAN AUTHORITIES TO AM NULL HER MARRIAGE.

Rome, September 4. = The Giornale dItalia in denying that reconciliation has taken place between Princess Alice deBourbon. daughter of Don Carlos. pre- tender to the Spanish throne and her husband Prince Frederick of Schonburg- Waldenburg, asserts that the princess has arrived in Rome unaccompanied for the purpose of urging on the vatican authorities the annullment of her mar riage through the influence of the pope. whom she knows personally.
 Prince Frederick of Schonburg-W alden burg was married at Venice in 1897 to Princess Alice, youngest daughter of Don Carlos. The princess was reported some time ago to have eloped with her coach man, but this report was soon proved untrue, and 1t was said that the princess charged her husband with circulating the rumor. She began divorce proceedings against Prince Frederick at Dresden on November 27, partly on the ground Of bodily injury, and forcible deprivation of liberty.
 A dispatch from Dresden December 9 last, said that the court there had dissolved the marriage. Announcement of the decree was made without explana- tion of reasons for 1t, and the proceed ings were conducted in entire privacy.

resents should embolden his followers to make the most aggressive of cam paigns. In urging this, 1t is not meant that they should conduct a campaign of bitter personalities, invidious de. traction, mean inuendos, abuse or carp ing criticism-which Is always an eyi- dence that the authors of 1t gravely doubt the-. ability to win or are re- duced to almost hopeless desperation. But, as in ali great armies, so in stu pendous political conflicts, sagacious leaders realize the immense import ance of seizing strong position, like Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg, before the main collision occurs and, once the preliminary advantage is gained, to follow it up by skillful offensive tactics.
 To discourage a vigorous campaign by their poltlcal foes and to dampen or destroy, if possible, their plan and hopes, astute partisan republicans have long endeavored to create an i'm. pression in the public mind that the democrats had no leaders and no is- sues, and hence that the election of MT. Roosevelt was assured in advance.
 
 these fond and nasty illusions to the winds, ana revived In every state of the union the hopes of the American people, who have for years impatiently waited m opportune moment to re. store the supremacy of the constitu. tion an to check the insolent en. croachments Of imperialism. Honored as the President wisely and justly is for his strong qualities. the American people will not decide the coming cleo. ton chiefly by reference to MT Rooseveit's personality, but their de. cision will be controlled by their sin. cere opinions on the grave and mo. mentous policies set forth in the re. publican platform, for which he stands as the avowed champion.
