The Republican leaders of Texas are
feeling very encouraged by the recent
influx Of northern and western people
into that state, and claim that 1t will
largely increase the Republican vote
In coming years. Texas is one Of the
banner states of the Democracy, but
1t is such a large state that the Re-
publican minority is larger than most
of us appreciate here i'm the North. In
1900 Mckinley received no fewer than
12l,173 votes in Texas, almost twice as
many as were cast for him that year in
the State of Maine. In Texas, more
over. the Republican party is made up
almost wholly of white men Of ability
and standing in the community, which
cannot be said of the party in all sec
tons of the South. 1t will probably be
some time before Texas becomes Re-
publican state, but the party there is
justified in keeping up the fight with
good hopes of redeeming the state some
day.

The Washington Post is inclined to
argue that there is lot of exaggeration
in the cry about the menace of the
American divorce evil. 1t points out
that the census of 1900 showed only
1884 divorced persons as against 81
O,101 married persons; that is seven
tenths of one per cent. of the divorced
persons as compared with those living
in the marital state. If this were the
whole story, the Post would be justified
in saying that the conditions do not
cause any serious alarm over the
divorce evil in American homes. But
these figures of divorced people do not
include those who have remarked, and
it is right here that one of the most
serious phases of the divorce evil
presents itself. Probably the majority
of people who get divorces secure them
for the purpose of remarrying, and
figures which do not include this class
are of very little use.

The Result in Oreaon.

The sweeping victory won, Monday,
by the Republicans of Oregon is a
significant Indication of this years
political drift. 1t was the first election
of the year and as such was anxiously
watched in all parts of the country.
It's result shows that there is no Re-
publican slump" in the great North
west. but that. on the contrary. the
party was never more active and
united. The two Republican congress-
men we're reelected by maiOrities Of
10000 and 1000 respectively, and when
we recall that Mckinley carried the
State in 1900 by only $4,000 majority
the significance Of the gain is apparent.
The judges and other minor state Off
Gals were elected by corresponding
margins. The Democratic governor,
elected in 1902 on account of Re-
publican split at that time, holds over,
but the result, Monday. shows that
Oregon Republicans have no differences
on national matters.
Oregon has fired the first shot Of the
presidential campaign and it has no
uncertain sound. This is another Re-
publican year and Oregon is leading
the way in splendid fashion. AS
Oregon has gone SO will Maine go in
SeDtember and So will frO tho IIpion in
November.

1t is proving Il great year for the
mosquitoes, SO much wet weather being
especially favorable to them. People
who dwell in the cities occasionally get
an idea of what the mosquito pest is
like. but the real sufferers are those
who live in the country. or in the
cottages on the shores of our lakes. In
the early summer their presence makes
life almost urendurable, particularly
for persons who are poisoned by their
bites. and every year at this time new
schemes are put forward by
scientists and discussed in the papers
relative to the determination of the
mosquitoes. 1t has been conclusively
proven that many diseases. particularly
those of a malarial type, are transmits
sible by mosquitoes, but it is not the
fear of this which makes most people
detest them SO. Their bites are bad
enough, and this and the loss of sleep,
which they cause when they get into
sleeping rooms at night, are sufficient
reasons for their determination, If such
a thing could ever be accomplished
The ''if'', however, in this case, Is OF
very forbidding proportions. ..s.

Word comes from Venezuela that the
government of that turbulent little re-
public has just invested several hun
dred thousand dollars in artillery for its
coast defences. The immediate object
OF the move is not plain, but indirectly
1t indicates that Venezuela is planning
to get into another scrape for Uncle
Sam to pull her out of. Whenever d
Latin-American republic. particularly
Venezuela, gets to fooling with
munitions of war, it is pretty safe plan
to have the surgical Instruments and
anesthetics close at hand, just as it is

A Yachting Breeze.

1t appears that Lord Dunraven is
not the only English yachtsman who
is lacking in the elements which make
up true sportsman, and we may also
be forced to the unwelcOme conclusion
that Sir Thomas Upton is the ex-
ception rather than the rule among
English yachtsmen. An American, BY
the name of Plant, has just taken the
yacht IngOmar across the Atlantic and
challenged the Royal Yacht Club to a
race for the Cape May cup, which was
won ON this side by the Britannia in
1894 and carried abroad, but the ROYAL
Yacht Club refused to entertain the
challenge and Mr.. Plant is further
Inundated by being refused any ex-
PLANTATION of the clubs action. He is
simply ignored, and will be compelled
to enter into unimportant races or re-
turn home without meeting the fast
English boats in the class of Ingomar.
1t is an unpleasant incident and shows
how deeply the British yachtsmen
have been stung by the repeated fail
ures to win back the American cup
and how ready they are to insult
American yachtsmen when they get a
good opportunity.
English yachtsmen have always
claimed that one reason why the inter-
national cup contests are won by the
American defender is that the chal-
lenger is weakened by the trans-occan
trip. Commander Plant, by taking his
schooner yacht to England, wanted to
prove that the criticism is unfounded.
He felt that If the Ingomar should re-
take the Cape May cup, won by the
Britannia in 1894. and at that time car
ried abroad, it would satisfy the
British yachting experts that a race
depends entirely upon construction and
scamanship. and is not affected by the
strain of sailing from continent to con
tinent. What makes the situation
more discordant is that the. members
of the Royal Yacht Club have lost
track of the cup-which they pledged
the New York club to hold under a
deed of gift for future races to be
given under the conditions applying
when the britannia took the cup. The
successful boat was sold and the cup
has disappeared. 1t is an extraordi-
nary situation and in view of it the re-
strictions under which competition for
the America cup is to be encouraged
cannot be made too severe.
