In Chicago. at St. Louis during the Worlds Fair and in other places his frank. cordial manner. his expan- sive smile and his happy adaptation to Democratic simplicity have made him a favorite among the men in the public eye. The sober political thought Of the Republican party in the Mississippi Valley and clear out to the coast is that MT. Taft is to be reckoned with at the National Convention in 1908.
 Secretary Shaw and Governor Cum mins. of Iowa, have a disadvantage for the race because they represent oppos- ing party factions in the same State, the first being classed as a stand pat ter" and MT.

He Is well liked in his home State. and throughout the West, for that matter, but he has failed to impress himself strongly on the new republicanism represented by such men as Governor La Toilette and Governor Cummins.
 Indiana, being considered debatable ground in Presidential campaigns, is a possible asset for him. Aside from any claim he may have on the Presidency by an unwritten law of promotion, Vice President Fairbanks Is not likely to have any advantage over Senator Bev- eridge. although MT.

OPINIONS ABOUT MARS.

Camille Flammarion. the eminent as- tronomer. says he has been studying Mars closely for thirty years and evil dently thinks he knows practically all about it. He says we can tell the length of the Martian day "to the hun dredth part of a second" and declares that i've know the globe of Mars per fectly-in fact, far better than the earth" What is of still more interest, he professes to be perfectly certain that 1t is inhabited. and goes so far as to describe the appearance. habits and characteristics of the inhabitants. even to their weight. which he. thinks is about one-third that of earth's peo- pie.
 All this belongs to that class of in- formation usually spoken of as i'm portant if true" because no one has produced any evidence of the fact. One may assert and another may deny, and they stand on equal footing. so far as actual proof is concerned. The mean

roGo.s SUBLIME FAITH.

The hard-headed style of our Vest ern civilization, and our views of Christianity may cause us to smile at the message sent by Admiral Togo to his Emperor. The great victory. he explains, "was due to the brilliant virtue of your Majesty. and to the pro- tection of the spirits of your ancestors. and not to the action of any human beings"
 Not a whisper about his own master full tactics and brilliant strategy be- fore and during the fight. Not word of the bravery. discipline and devotion of his men. No mention of the fine quality and efficiency of ships. arms and munitions, or of the manner in which they were made SO effective. All the credit is due to the Emperor and his ancestors.
 We may smile at such evidence of self-abnegation and perhaps we may sheer at this blind faith,. and the heather confidence in the spirits of the departed. but there Is something both serious and noble in such faith. It is serious when such man as Togo so steadfastly adheres to the faith of his people and his country, and 1t was noble in him to give to his superiors the credit which really belongs to him. His faith is to him one of the un- changeable realities of existence, and to it he is loyal. as he is loyal to his master and his country. As The New York Mail expresses 1t:
 'The Japanese feel that they are liv- ing. and in battle are fighting, in the presence of a cloud of invisible wit nesses from whom the gift of life has descended to them, and that they are themselves the progenitors of unnum- bered generations to follow. whom they must not handicap by their conduct. With them the significance of each life reaches far backward and far forward. The individual is representative"
 Whatever opinions we may hold of the faith of the Japanese. and their blind devotion to that faith, we are bound to admit that 1t accompiishes re- suits. From the beginning of this war 1t has been a conflict between what we cali Paganism and what bears the name of Christianity. The organism of the Japanese has made them the most devoted. self-sacrficing and faith full soldiers of modern times. It has caused them to offer their lives and their substance without murmur or hesitation when their country called. It has caused them to live without mur- mering and to die without hesitation or regret. It has. in short, led them to give up everything for their Elm peror and their country. Such a faith and such a belief may not agree with our Ideas and conceptions of religion, but 1t is a faith that accomplishes re- suits on the field of battle.

AN EASY ONE.

It occurs to us that one of the In- way for divorce that we have yet heard of. As a contemporary tells it, Mrs. Craig, wife of a wealthy fnancier. in- vited a number of her high-class friends to a dinner and her husband appeared at table in business suit 'in- stead of the conventional claw-ham- mer." Thereupon she sued for divorce and got it. No. doubt she pleaded humiliation. wounded pride, anguish of mind, and various other serious in- 5uries caused by her husbands lack of breeding and his consequent smashing of the proprieties. At any rate, she made out such a good case before the audge that he not only granted the divorce, but threw in $47,O00 alimony, the custody of their four children, $2o0 a year to clothe the children. $50 a month for their support and house worth $35,0O0 for herself.
 Could there be a wider door or an sasier road to divorce than that, pro- vided this judge could have the case, and provided husband and wife are both willing? All that is required is that the wife shall give a formal dinner and the husband come to the table in his street clothes. or in a shooting jacket. In an extreme case he might Insist on dining in his shirt sleeves Then she applies to the judge, begs him to listen to my tale of woe" des- cribes the bangs she suffered. and gets e divorce while she waits. It's easy as discharging a cook. and if hubby is a rich guy, she gets enough money and things to enable her to live easy till she catches another one. Evidently all Indiana husbands. especially the rich ones, must live up to the cut-glass and solid silver ware. else they get the grand bounce in double quick.
 Seriously, was not that divorce a re- hection on our civilization We can understand how a well-bred woman might be mortified by the failure of a thoughtless or careless husband to ob- serve all the nice proprieties of life and we have no defence for the hus- D~AaN "HN "AAANAtS AAOA tAAiSS HE "AAo III the presence of guests, but that such a serious matter as a divorce should depend on nothing more important than the style of coat worn at the dinner table is not creditable to the law or the court. One would think the wo- man might have found a better method of teaching the proprieties than this, but doubtless she was anxious to ob- tain a divorce and gave the only ground she had. Easy laws and a complaisant judge did the rest. and so nhe goes free and takes a good slice of the husbands wealth. After that, there is no ground for throwing stones at Dakota or any other easy place.

distance of the planet from the earth Is some forty millions of miles. and 1t must be admitted that to get such small details as human beings from an object so far off would be wonder full feat. The moon. for example. is but two hundred and forty thousand miles from us. yet the astronomers are forever disputing about the conditions existing on that planet. How any one can be so sure of what is occurring on a planet almost two hundred times as far from us. we do not pretend to understand. After all, we are not ex- pecting any early immigration from Mars.
