Who For Next President?

From American Spectator.
At considerable expense American
Spectator has obtained opinions and
expressions of the same from all of
the prominent candidates for Presi-
dental nomination. These are all un-
genuine, having come to us over our
own private line, the least longest
wire in the world. The pithy, epi-
grammatic summing up will, of course,
be thoroughly appreciated. The fol-
lowing terse expressions are in an
swer to our query. "Will you be a
candidate?"
Taft-My candidacy is n weighty
problem, and there is n heavy respon-
sibility attached.
Cannon-I will il l do.
Bryan-The third is the lucky trial.

Thomas Jcfcrson's Bible.

The jefferson Bible. with its beauti-
ful red Morocco binding, made no little
trouble in the House while it was 4
single forgotten volume reposing under
lock and key at the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition. Now that it has been photo
graphed and reproduced in numerous
copies, the little volume has multiplied
care for the Senate. Hardly man of
the ninety but has had thousands of
requests for the book, and more are
coming in by every mail.
1t seems that some enterprising busi-
ness man advertised the Jefferson
Bible prominently in well-known
magazine. He announced that it could
be had for nothing if one would write
to ones Senator or Member of Con-
gress, concluding his advertisement
with the further statement that he had
gone to considerable expense in having
the advertisement printed, and hoped
readers would turn to his business an
nouncement on another page.
SO it is that requests are rolling in
upon Senators especially, for the pub
lie seems to have taken the idea that
they are more legitimate prey than
gentlemen at the other end of the
thirty copies. and the only good way
out of the dilemma appears to be to
print more, just rs Congress has done
with the horse book and other popu-
lar Government publications. Better
send for one before the second reprint
is all distributed.

But to the uninitiated the part of the

lent peculiar glamour to the occasion.
The treaty of peace between Japan
and Russia marked the close of one of
the bloodiest wars of history. The
dinner given by Baron Rosen in

victorious Japan goes farther, in that
it takes up social intercourse upon Il

After a daring ocean race of $50

which Sir Thomas Upton offered a

while the smaller yacht bravely stuck
to its task. They had to cross the gulf
stream $50 miles off Hatteras, one of
the stormiest spots on the Atlantic.
Experienced yachtsmen were much
surprised that the little Gauntlet was
not wrecked or foundered somewhere
on the way.
BUT TWENTY YEARS OIL.
Mrs. Robinson is only 20 years old
But ever since childhood she has been
used to boating and swimming. For
several seasons she has sailed an eigh-
teen-foot knockabout, making her sum-
mer headquarters near Amboy, on the
lower New York bay. Though small,
she is athletic and skilled in handling
craft and is said to be without fear
on the water. Storm or sunshine is
all the same to her.
'One of the conditions of our mar
riage on April 18th" said Mrs. Robin
son before starting in the race, "was
