EASY Charity.

he is raising for the great campaign
against tuberculosis.

DIGGING A CANAL ON FiARS.

Announcement OF final proof
that the planet Mars is inhabited
was made by Professor PercivaI
Lowell. the Marian expert and
director of the observatory al
Flagstaff, Ariz.
Prof. Lowell announced that
he had seen new canal spring
| into being last summer, showing
he declared, that it had just beer,
completed by the Martians'
Water had just been turned into
it and vegetation had sprung up
in a hitherto uninhabitable part
o. the great desert which COM
prises most of the planets sur
face.
Not only did he see the new
canal, but he photographed It,
he asserted. Previous photo
graphs Of this region, made as
late as May, failed to show any
trace of it. The fact that 1t de-
veloped between May and Sep
tember, when it was first OBJ
served, Prof. Lowell regarded as
positive that it was artificial,
and therefore that living being s
existed there.
Prof. Lowell made this ar
nouncement to Prof. 5. W. Burn
ham, of the Yerkes Observatory.
The new canal. 1000 miles long,
extends southeast from the re-
gion of vegetation known IS
Syrtis Major, through the great
plain Of Libya, he said.
Prof. Lowell'S discovery is OF
the utmost importance. 1t SEEM
ed to be the strongest confirma-
ton yet obtained of the belief that
there are living, intelligent be-
ings on Mars. His theory
that the markings on the plane t
are canals and that these canals
are the work of living beings, Is
the only one that fits all TIE
known facts.

ship extending into all parts of the
country. 1t has for its object help
fulness to boys under eighteen years
of age of all social conditions, both
hayward and well-behaved. With

the like.
1t especially aims to safeguard
and help neglected and less favored
boys In the prevention of hayward
ness and the rescue of more or
less confirmed juvenile delinquents.
Its work is both in the churches of
all denominations, and so of an I'M
seCtarian character, and outside
churches, the chief means being
the large and small boys clubs in
cities and what is known as the
group or church boys clubs in

the largely used means for inculcat-
ing ideas of thrift. A descriptive
leaflet, giving full particulars of the
penny savings bank plan, also full

A man in public life ought never
in a public utterance to misrepre
sent facts, if he expects people to
believe him. A glaring example of
this is that Governor Hadley for the
purpose of misleading votes in the
Sixth district and trying to show
that Republicans were not altogeth-
er responsible for the increasing ex-
penditures of the national govern
ment charged that Senator Stone of
this state had voted for an increase
in the salary of senators and repre-
Sentatives in congress from $4,000
year to $500. The public record
WAS open to him and not to all the
men, he addressed. He was ex-
pected to give facts. The real facts
are that Senator Stone voted against
the increase of salary and fought
the measure. A little trick like this
but shows what a public man would
do. If the Governor made this
mistake perhaps he has made 9th
'ers. so it behoves the people to ex-
anime what he says before they
take it all in as the truth.-Fay-
ette DemOcrat-Leader.
