MIR. TAFT'S HANDICAP

Whatever opposition if any, that may have manifested itself in Arizona, or at an- rate in this part of Arizona, 10 the nomination of Secretar.' Taft. has arisen for the most part, from the methods employed by those who have taken charge of his campaign.
 We do not believe there is a repub- lican in the territory who has not the highest opinion of the personal and statesmanlike qualities Of MT. Taft. We doubt very much if a republican can be found who does not think he would make an admirable president. If the name of Mir. Taft had come before the people in the same way in which the names of the other candidates have come. many who are vigorously opposing instructions in his behalf would have acclaimed the secretary as a oouular candidate. But as things have gone, and as they now stand. the opposition to the methods employed in Mir Taft's behalf are in danger of crystallizing into opposition to the secretary himself.
 The sentiment of the republicans of Arizona in this matter. We think. is fairly well represented in the views of former City Councilman H. B. Ker- sting, which appear elsewhere in The Republican this morning. MT. Ker- sting has no objection to MT. Taft, but as every self-respecting citizen does, he resents the arrogating of the gov ernment at Washington to itself of the right to dragoOn the republicans of Arizona into the support of any can didate. The national administration may claim to exercise political author ity over its apcointees in Arizona as elsewhere. but the great bulk of the republican party here is under no po- litical obligations to it. warranting in even the slightest degree, the astound- ing assumption that a delegation should be delivered at Chicago bound hand and foot, merely because the president wills it.
 Perhaps in spite of the folly which has been injected into the Taft cam paign in Arizona, the secretary's pop ularity will survive the territorial convention and there may be an ex- pression by a majority of the voters in his favor: but ic so. it will be a spon- taneous expression. not one lashed out of them by the presidents orders: nor is it at all likely that any expression will be permitted to take the form of instructions to the delegation to vote for Taft or any other candidate first, last and all the time" Nor do we think there will be instructions to vote for him at all unless it should appear to the delegates after their arrival at Chicago. that the interests of the ter rttory would be best served by doing SO

LAST OF HE EVIDENCE
 IN ST0ESSEL'S TRIAL
The Defender of Port Arthur lntro- duces a Letter Describing the Hope lessness of the War.

St. Petersburg. Jan. 29.-The taking of testimony by the court martial which is trying Lieutenant General Stoessel for the surrender of Port Ar thur fortress came to an end today As a final justification for the surren- der, Stoessel introduced a letter today from General Kondratanko. dated Oct l. 1904. in which the writer said he recognized the necessity of surrender ing. and asked Stoessel to prepare the emperor for this, and advise him to make peace with Japan while the for tress was stin in Russian bands.
 Stoessel addressed the court, saying that he could not follow that advice, because the communications passed through too many hands. Consequent ly he defended the fortress as long as it existed

The most unusual was heard In quick

Striking Examples That May Be OBJ
served In Daily Life.

Doubtless every one has observed
while travelling by train that the trees
or houses In the distance appear TO be
speeding along in the same direction
as the train, while the nearcf objects
are fast receding. Many, too, have OBJ
served that the top Of a level wall
built on Il steep incline appears to
slope upward in a contrary direction
10 the hill itself at nearly the same
angle TO the apparent level, aud some
have curiously regarded the ghostllke
gliding and vanishing Of dark shad.
Ows while passing a double row Of
fencing, but the following are not so
commonly remarked:
One might stand for several minutes
watching the revolutions of the cups
Of an anemometer-for measuring the
velocity of the wind-and still be puZ-
zled as to the real way they are turn
ing round. Gaze up at them when
there is an uncertain breeze blowing
They revolve rapidly, and you are per-
haps perplexed as to their direction.
AS the wind subsidies you would expect
TO find ii easier to tell the direction by
the slower revolution; but, as matter
of fact, the difficulty is increased
With the varying speed your first i'm
preston is that such and such is the
direction. A moment later you reverse
that idea, and the longer you gaze the
more ii seems as If they are spinning
round erratically in every possible di
rection, whereas, of course, they can
only turn one way.
Standing Immediately beneath high

POI IN HAWAII.
The Favsrite Food Of the Natives and
How II 10 Made.

In years gone by each native Hawai-
han took particular pride IN producing
his own poi "a food made from the
taro plant, but nowadays 1t Is made
In factories, the work being done al
most wholly by the native born China
men, who receive 81 per day for their
labors.
I was fortunate enough at Lahaina,
however, to see this staff Of life made
In the old fashioned way. The taro
plant seems to be q cross between
sweet potato and a turnip, and the root
is long and fieshy. This, after steam
Ing, must be pounded into sort OF
-four before mixing. A stone pestle Is
used, and often 1t requires hours TO
beat the root to the proper consisten-
cy. When a certain stage Is reached
water is added, and Il is worked into
q thin paste, put into barrel and al
lowed to ferment. The taste for pol
has to be acquired, and few II any
foreigners ever care for II as food. To
me II suggested sour starch. II Is
served on the native table In huge
wooden bowl known as calabash,
from which II is eaten with the I'm
gers, each member Of the family dip
ping into the same dish. The number
OF fingers used is measured by the
thickness of the pol, three fingers be-
ing required for the thinnest and one
for that mixed to the consistency or
mush. The taro plant is easily cult

and am told that one square mile or

"Mostly of Chicago is the way a

acterization seems reasonable. When
he was six years old, he cut off one OF
his toes with scythe. When he was
eight, he shot off two joints of one OF
his fingers. lie ran away from home
when he was fourteen, and the frost OF
a winter night took Off three more toes
and the tip of his nose. At twenty-five
he lost his entire right foot. A drunkei

A COSTLY NAP.
slumber That Led TO tho Death o,
King Charles !.

Nin9 NnarleS ].
In the middle OF Holborn once stood
an inn, the George and Blue Boar, and
there took place an incident which en-
tirely changed the whole tale of Eng
lands history.
AS twilight was falling in October,
164S, very tired post boy mounted
on a sweating horse pulled up outside
the old inn. The lad knew nothing Of
the importance Of the letters which lay
In his post bag. His orders were 10
convey them to point on the Great
North road, where he would be met by
other messengers.
But Cromwell's spies had followed
him from the south coast, for Eng
lands liberty depended upon his dis
patches misearrylng. The boy had
some supper and afterward fell asleep,
his head pillOwed on his post bag.
While he slept Cromwell's men took
the bag and found In II letter from
King Charles /. to the Scottish gener-
ais arranging for his rescue. an imme-
diate advance on London and the ar
rest and execution Of Cromwell and his
friends. That same evening Cromwell

Puzzling Differences In Weights.

Which is heaxler. a pound of feathers
or a pound of'lead? They weigh the
same.
Which is heavier, a pound OF feathers
or a pound of silver? The pound of
feathers Is heavier, because feathers
are weighed by avoirdupois weight
which has 1000 grains to the pound
while the precious metals are weighed
by troy weight, which has only 5,7GC
grains to the pound.
Which is heavier, an ounce of feath-
ers or an ounce of silver? An ounce of
silver, because in the troy ounce there
are 4SO grains, while in the avoirdu
pos ounce there are only 437i2 grains
The avolrdupois pound of 1000 grains
is divided into sixteen ounces, while
the lighter troy pound of 5,7G0 grains Is
divided into twelve heavier ounces.

THE EDUCATED MAN.

The most important part Of educa.

actions Of people stimulate imitation
and emulation. BY these men grow
Of the character Of people men form
ideals Of character for themselves and
are transformed thereby. Herein lies
the consummate educative power ln
Christianity--the transforming powe,
OF the divine man.
According to this new idea, educa.
ton is not merely receiving, but Civ.
ing; not learning alone, but doing. The
educated man is open eyed and open
minded, quick to respond to influ-
ences from without, learning from all
his experiences and growing In power
as he grows In knowledge. Charles
Kingsley said Of his father that "he
possessed every faculty but the facul-
ty of using his faculties" He was
not an educated man, although he was
very learned one.
