THE SECRET OF MARS

Who shall decide when the astronomers dis agree? Disagree they do, and their dispute is as to whether the 'canas'' upon the planet Mars are or are not. The Italian astronomer Schiapareli mapped upon that distant disk IF canals; but observations of Lowell at the Flag staff observatory have increased the number to nearly 600. The arid air of Arizona has con- duced to his labor of studying the red world {; yet his conclusions are questioned They are disputed, first, as to accuracy of observations. It IS claimed that the appearance of the "canals" is due to optical strain and to the re- sponse of the eye to preconceived idea in the brain. In support of this theory there are now presented to the British Astronomical Assoca- tiOn photographs without a trace of the mark mgs upon which rests the theory of the canals. If the canals exist, the explanation is that they are a part of system of conservation and dis tribution of water.
 But the adverse critics dispute the presence of water and of atmosphere and of the seasonal melting of the assumed snow caps in the Martan polar regions. Those caps, they assert are not snow, but the residual gas of a vanished atmo- sphere or of an atmosphere too tenuous to be recorded. But Professor Lowell sticks to his canals and stands by his telescope. He brave ly persists that the dirt flies on Mars at a rate never reached in the zone of Panama Out of the discussion may come keener observation and more conclusive deduction Let the star-gazers debate and continue togaze. The light may vet bring the long expected message from another world of sentient and rational beings, who may or may not share earth $ ignorance of the undis covered country

THIS TIME IT IS TEXAS

Missouri is the "show me" state, and the nov cities that are developed in that Commonwealth are as numerous as the historical novels written in Indiana Kansas has nothing the matter with it, and it is at last taking it's position as or derly, decorous member of Uncle Sam's large family. Wisconsin, Iowa. and Minnesota are in the imeIght because they raise insurgents, whose chief pleasure in life is to put a bent pin in ''Uncle Joe's" chair
 Many years ago, some one said they raised h. in Texas, but since then times have changed They still do original things in that broad land symbolized by the Lone Star Re gently the press reports from Galveston brought dispatch which has all the earmarks of a ma ture fake' Be that as 1t may, we will consider the matter without attempting to substantiate it.
 Sheriff Anderson, of Harris county, is a busy man. He has cotton crop to look out for in addition to dozen or more of prisners. Ander- son owns big bear named Daisy, and he has learned that Daisy cannot pick cotton, but that she~can be an excellent jailer. So Daisy IS al- lowed to run loose in an inclosure surrounding the jail proper The prisoners are inside and Daisy on the outside of the building.
 Four daring members of Sheriff Anderson's unwilling family planned to depart the other night. They sawed their way through the bars and were in the inclosure ready to leap the fence when Daisy heard the commotion. She was prompt to respond to the call of duty, and less than minute later the four jail breakers were backed into an open cell and fighting for their lives. Daisy practically disrobed one of the men by seizing his prison suit so firmly that it gave way, and his shrieks brought the sheriff and the iailer The frightened prisoners went gladly back to their cells No further attempts at ial delivery in Harris county are looked for.

APRoDUCT OF THE WEST

Frederic Remington was pioneer The men who blazed the trails, the men who built the log cabins, fought the Indians, organized communities into law abiding districts, were typical Americans They were the pioneers in the sturdy sense. Later came pioneers in other
 lnes of endeavor. Pioneers in generaIship, in invention, Tn industrial development, in law and order, in the seienees and now we reach the stage of the fine arts. James Fenimore Cooper. Washington Irving and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow were pioneers in literature. Edgar Allen Poe was the finished product, although he too, m sense, was pioneer.
 America need not copy from Europe in art. science or literature. Our institutions have developed along original lines, and the rich blooded American is host unto himself natural conditions and environment being invaluable as sets. This country has faith in itself and sucb men as Frederic Remington are responsible for this confidence
 Remington did not study art He did not % west to paint the scenes there, he did not ston to reason the cause and effect The spirit of the true artist was in him, and he followed an unpaved way. Nothing is more natural than that he should have depicted the west as he saw it, Vlrile life appealed to him, and he forcefullv placed 1t on canvas. He painted what he saw.
 There was no imitation about him. He did not ask in slavish way what others would do When he saw brilliant colors he waved aside the

THE ENGLISH SINISTER

The problem of spinsterhood is social topic of discussion in England. It appears that the number of maidens increases. Fathers must face the fact that their daughters may never marry, and that they must finger at home an un- welcome superfiuity, without occupation suffer ing under the silent aspiration of failure One cause of this condition is said to be a greater disposition among parents to be more exacting about marriage than have been the grandpar- ents. Fathers dislike to see either sons or daughters wed without assured prospects in the form of income or settlements England seems halfway between the French system of frank ne- gotiation and the old way of reckless romance There persists belief in marriage for love- but the love match must also be one of convenience
 Hence the youths and maidens grow cautious about romance. They shrink from going to the altar with no capital other. than hope Hence ensues delay, while the sons grow accustomed to cebacy and the daughters become old maids.
 The somewhat melancholy conclusion seems to be that the children must have more freedom, with the courage to face responsibility, or else the greater restriction of France. The latter does not accord with Anglo-Saxon custom. nor does 1t seem to be meeting with racial results wholly satisfactory, so far as disclosed by the statistics of French population especially in the cities. It may seem sensible and simple to ad vance the proposition that the sons and daueh ters of English parents should be content to be- gln their joint lives in less expensive style than that maintained by their fathers and mothers But that is advice the acceptance of which rests upon the will and the determination of the indi vldual. However, the fact doubtless remains true in England that Hove will find way.''

doubting Thomases and the orthodox critics. He was an American and he showed the courage of his convictions.
 Europe has for many years made the boast that America was not an artistic nation. We may be crude, but a half dozen Remingtons in the next decade or two will put an end to the charge that we do not know art nor love art for arts sake. The pioneer of the gun and the ax has had his day the pioneer of the finer arts has passed away, but he will have successors, and may they be worthy ones.

UNITED STATES CITED AS EXAMPLE

David Lloyd George, chancellor of the British exchequer, during an address which he delivered at Queens hall, London, one evening last week, quoted statistics showing that in May, 1908, while there was 30 per cent of unemployment in New York state under high protection, there was only per cent in free trade England
 In replying to the argument of the "tariff reformers" that import duties protect" home workingmen, Mir. Lloyd-G George might have call trust, beneficiary of high tariff rates has tpro- tected" American workingmen by denying them from the mills and substituting cheap foreign labor
