ChAS. W. FAIRBANKS
 NOT OF ICICLE TYPE
The Impression the Vice President Has Made O. Raymond of the Chicago Tribune.

Raymond" of the Chicago Tribune writing to his paper from Indianapolis says of Vice President Fairbanks:
 Everybody understands as q matter of course Vice President Fairbanks will be candidate for the presidency and that a solid delegation from Indi- ana will present his name to the next republican national convention. He has fairly earned this distinction and whether he is ever elected president or not he certainly has been in every way a credit to the great state where he has lived since his boyhood days.
 Most people seem to believe that the one great contest in the next conven- tiGn will be between the organized forces of the vice president and the numerous but less compact followers St the secretary of war. Between the two men themselves, of course. there ss nothing but the warmest friendship.
 in the long run, also. it will almost surely be found that Indiana and ohio ~iH act together. That Is to say. both Taft and Fairbanks, are fairly well as- sured that if either candidate drops oSt of lsss behind, the neighbor state viB turn towards the other. This Is more natural because Vice President Fairbanks Is himself a native of Ohio. Thus the republicans next year will present to the country the unusual po- hticsi spectacle of two leading candi dates for the presidency being furnish ed by ore state
 xies President Misreprssented.
 There never was a man more per- sistently misunderstood and misrepre- scented than Charles W. Fairbanks. Years ago. some unfriendiy writer for comic paper chose to represent M-. Fairbanks as an icicle. The name has stuck to him through all these years in spite of the facts. Yet there never has been any and never could be the slightest Justification for this un- friendly description. If there Is any one thing the vice president of the United States is not 1t is ice in any form. whether pendent from a cottage roof or -hawked about the streets from a big antiseptic wagon
 That such a notion should have be- come current regarding such a man is nothing less than a modern miracle Almost any other name in the cate gory might be applied to the elongated public citizen from the state of In- diana. but ice he never was and fee he never will be. The description, how ever, in spite Of the facts. probably win cling to him because comic writ CTS find it convenient and are not us-

JAPAN TO TACKLE THE SYM
 PHONY.

The Imperial symphony society has been organized by the young musicians graduated from the Tokio Conserva- tory of Music for the purpose of en- couraging the study of symphony and also introducing famous symphonic works among the Japanese. The so- ciety intends to give a concert each month in Tokio by which the classic taste in the Occidental symphony will be spread throughout the empire. A new Japanese symphony will be pro- duced in the near future by a member of the society.

When the immigrant has landed 1t must not be supposed that he is left to himself. He is constantly made to feel that his wants are not neglected: in fact. it is claimed by certain critics that too much Is done for him, if that Is possible. when every agency has on- ly one aim in view. his Americaniza- ton in it's truest sense. The stately Educational Alliance. corner of Jeffer- son street and East Broadway. Is a kind of peoples palace and Cooper In- stitute combined for the new conner. as well as for his brother who pre- ceded him a few years. This edifice is a beehive of intelligent and we'll directed effort. in the line of education physical, moral and intellectual. Here are classes in English for the adult and youth which prepare them for the evening school. while the little ones are as carefully instructed SO as 10 begin in due season their public school course. Here are circles of young men and young women in the languages. literature, and domestic science. a gymnasium. library. roof garden, art exhibition. with lectures. concerts and other forms of refined and uplifting entertainment: the children in large numbers attending the Sabbath after noon service and following with inter- est the English sermonettes for their special edification. The Alliance has been in active operation since 1891. and its worth is so we'll recognized that it has received generous gifts from non-Israeiites like Andrew Carnegie and MT. Phipps--A. S.

Fortunately. the dark days when Corsica resembled a huge battlefield survive only as a terrible memory of the past. Today we can hardly credit the fact that between the years 1539 and 1729 30O.O00 people were murder ed out of revenge. and that during thirty-one years of last century from 1921 to 1S52-the number of mur- ders was estimated at 4,3O0.

 Glimpse of Real Fairbanks.
 Here is the real Fairbanks He may never be president. In fact, I do not think his chances are of the best. But this is Fairbanks:
 Take a tall country stripling Grad uate him gradually into city clothes and city manners. Marry him to a clever girl he loved while he was in college. Then push him forward in law and in business life. Give him a competence which becomes a modest fortune. Transplant him into politics. Place him at the head of his party in his own state and in councils great in Washington. Make the female mem Der of the partnership at the head of the strongest organization of women ever known in this country
 Consider the man himself. tall. dig nified, approachable, essentially demo- cratic. the one person on whom the country should have to lean If the same thing happened to Roosevelt that befell Mckinley at Buffalo one Sep tember day.
 Not in the Ice Business.
 Now as to this ice business. There never was a more curious peryersion of facts. The vice president of the United States is as approachable. as cordial. as democratic as any man in this country. He Is in fact almost too indiscriminate in his good nature. The Indiana candidate for the presidency s quite as cordial to the average man as Secretary Taft or as President Roosevelt. He makes friends with ev- cry one he meets If he possibly can do so. As he walks from his house on K street, near Connecticut avenue. to the capitol. distance of a mile or two, he is always greeted with the warmest recognition from all classes of people Uncle Joe Cannon at his best is not more democratic than Vice President Fairbanks. If there is an ice wagon in the administration it Is driven by the secretary of state, MT. Root. and cer- tainly not by the vice president.
 That MT. Fairbanks will come into the next national convention backed up by a delegation which will repre- sent the great moneyed interests of the country is undoubtedly true. These same interests would prefer him to Roosevelt. They look upon Fairbanks as being of the Mckinley type. There never was a better description. The vice president was in the inner circle of the Mckinley administration. Dur ing the critical time which preceded the Spanish war he with one or two others. including of course President Mckinley, Vice President Hobart, Mark Hanna and one or two other prominent men. including Senators AL lison of Iowa and Spooner of Wiscon- sin, participated in a series of histor- ical conferences which at that time de- termined the policy of the nation.
