boom is assuming healthy proportions.
He is rapidly coming to be recognized
as the most logical republican candi-
date for 1908. provided the convention
is not stampeded and insists upon re.
nominating President Roosevelt In
looking over the list of prospective
candidates. it is seen that Beverage

there will be clash between Taft and

ly will strike fire in New York. From
present indications. it would seem that
Speaker Cannon is the only public man

Figures About Marriage.

OF the 40.0O0.OO0 of persons of both
sexes of Il manageable age in this
country. more than 12.OO0.O0O remain
single. This number seems large
enough to justify our chief magis-
trate's recent insistence that. from the
viewpoint of a far-seeing ruler, desir-
Ous of providing cadets and midship-
men for large navy. the indefinite
continuance of such a condition is in
tolerable. Lest he may suddenly direct
the various states TO enact laws that
would bear nduly upon unmarried
men or suffer them TO be brought under
the provisions of the interstate com
merce act. along with old maids, says
an article in the North American Re-
view. we earnestly beseech reflection
upon certain facts established by our
federal census. According to the sta.
tistics of 1900, for example. the coun.
try contained only 1,1S2,293 widowers
or only 3 per cent of the entire male
population. as against 2,721,564 wild
ows, or 7.3 per cent of all the females
This surprising disparity surely merits
serious consideration. We may not as
sumo, for chivalric reasons, that our
delicately nurtured ladies are of tough
er fiber and more enduring physical
nature than their husbands; hence, we
