party that he cannot be elected for
another term. 1t is probable,g con-
tinues the correspondent, that the
suggestion will be made to him that
he announce his unwIIIingness to be
a candidate a second time. The facts
of the case have already been briefly
outlined to Charles P Taft, and it is
expected that further information will
be given him of the situation in the
party, and that he viii be asked to
take upon himself the function of
communicating with President Taft
and informing the latter that his case
before the country is hopeless"
1t would be pretty large respon-
sibility for Brother Charles" to as
sumo to go up to the white house and
tell the president finally and definitely
that he cannot be elected president
again, because a group of republican
leaders have reached that conclusion.
The fact of the matter probably is
that President Taft is stronger today
before the people than he was a week
ago, for the very reason that cabal
has been busy in his own party trying
to show that he has lost the conf
dence of the country. The machine
character of the opposition against
Taft that has developed from the
meeting of the republican national
committee is too evident to carry
much conviction with it. Some dis
tinct and definite interest is at work
in opposition to the president and, in
the present temper of the country,
that sort of thing is more likely to
help than to hurt the fortunes of a
public man. The suspicion is pretty
well founded that the movement
against the denomination of Taft has
Wall street inspiration, and if that
impression can be made deep enough,
nothing can prevent the denomination
of The president by his own party and
much will be added to his chances of
election.
There is a good deal in the saying
of Colonel New of Indiana, that if the
republican party cannot. win with Tart
it cannot win with any candidate. 1t
is a dangerous thing for a party to
go before the country with a record
of reputation of it's chosen represen-
tative and an apology for the admin
istration he has given, upon which an
appeal for a continuance of confidence
should be based. The republican par
ty ycannot escape the record of the
Taft administration even by rejecting
Mr.. Taft, and it might make a better
showing for itself by claiming merit
from the record and standing squarely
by the head of the administration than
by attempting to rub out the bad spots
and exploiting the good.

the selection of Mr.. l.. H. Haym as
its foreman. Mr.. Haym belongs to
that conservative, yet fair minded
class of our citizenry. He would up
hold tho majesty of the law and would
mete out the pure article of Justice;
yet he would not find indictments Of

IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS?

Sometime ago, little girl wrote the
editor of the New York Sun, inquir-
ing: is there a Santa Claus? Some
of my little friends say there is none
Please tell me the truth. Is there a
Santa Claus?
The reply to this plaintive lutte
note, which appeared in The Sun, is
one of the classics OF our literature,
and will never become too old to e.
print. Here it is:
Virginia, your little frien IS are
wrong. They have been affected b,
the skepticism of a skeptical age
They do not believe except they see.
They think that nothing can be which
is aot comprehensive by thei' miads
All mirds, Virginia, whether they be
mems or children's, are little. In this
great universe of ours man is a mere
insect, an ant in his intellect, as CON-
pared with the boundless world about
him, as measured by the intelligence
capable of grasping the whole of truth
and knowledge.
YES, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist. and
you know that they abound and give
to your life it's highest beauty and
Joy. Alas. How dreary would be the
world if there were no Santa Claus?
1t would be as dreary as If there were
no Virginias. There would be no
child-like faith, then, no poetry, NJ
romance to make tolerabie this exist
ence. We should have no enjoyment,
except in sense and sight. The eter-
nal light with which childhood fills
the world would be extinguished.
Now believe in Santa Claus! You
might as well not believe In fairies
You might get your papa TO hire men
to watch in all the chimneys on
Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus,
but even if they did not see Santa
Claus coming down, what would that
prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but
that is no sign that there is no Santa
Claus. The most real things in the
world are those that neither children
nor men can see. Did. you ever see
fairies dancing on the lawn? OF
course not, but that's no proof that
they are not there. Nobody can con-
ceiye or imagine all the wonders there
are unseen and unseeable in the
world.
You may tear apart the baby's rat
tie and see what makes the noise in
side, but there is veil covering the
unseen world, which not the strongest
man, nor even the united strength of
all the strongest men that ever lived,
could tear apart. Only faith, fancy,
poetry, love, romance can push aside
that curtain and view and picture the
supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is
1t all real? All, Virginia, in all this
world there is nothing else real and
abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God! He
lives and He lives forever. A thou
sand yeats from now, Virginia-nay,
ten times ten Thousand years from
now-He will continue to make glad
the heart of childhood"

armed revolutfonists. led by Cali
fornia Socialist.
They appeared at the house of Gov
ernor Terrazas, subprefect of this dis
trict, and placed him under arrest.
Proceeding In an orderly manner to
the customs house. they demanded
the surrender of the governments of.
ficials Here the revolutionists met
demurrers. but when a window was
broken in and the chief of the Gus
toms corps was dragged out. they
laid down their Winchesters and sur
rendered. All federal officials were
placed under guard as the main party
proceeded
The revolutionists then went to the
jail and demanded the keys of Jailer
Jose Villasenor. He refused them
and was shot dead with a bullet
through his head. The lock on the
jail door was then broken of and the
inmates found within we're all freed,

the proprietors informed that no loot
ing would be allowed and that as
long as their demands were com

General Bertholdt said:
This is a geenral movement that
is taking place all over Mexico We
are a portion of the Mexican Liberal
party. which is the fame as the So
cialist party in the United States. We
aim to make Mexico free from the
tyranny of Diaz and all the present

Filler FALLS IN SEA
AVIATOR M'cuRDY FLIES FROM
KEY WEST TO A POINT TEN
MILES FROM HAVANA.
SHORT OF OIL He DEsCENDS
Feat Is Failure When Success Is in
Sight and Eclipses Any Previous
over-Water Flight on Record
Loses $1,000 Prize.

Havana, Cuba. A. d. McCurdy
made his often postponed attempt to
fly across the Florida straits from Key
West to Havana Monday. In his Cur
tiss biplane he covered 80 miles of the
distance and then was forced to de-
scend, ten miles from Havana, by a
shortage in his supply of lubricating
oil
When he saw that he could not
reach this port McCurdy alighted safe
ly on the waters and the pontoons
with which it was equipped foated
the aeroplane until the destroyer
Paulding, splashing along in its wake.
had overtaken the aerial craft. Nc
Curdy and his biplane were taken on
board. neither the worse for the mis-
hap.
At first 1t was believed that the
aviator could make a new start from
the deck of the destroyer, but this
proved impractical and after consid-
cradle delay the Paulding brought the
whole outfit into the harbor
McCurdy had covered approximate
ly so miles of the distance of 112
to Havana when he was obliged to
descend and, though he failed to meet
the requirements of the competition,
he accomplished feat unprecedented
in cross seas flying
Compared with the 18-mile flights
across the English channel, his per-
Torrance stands out as far more re-
markable. But for slip in taking
supplies 1t is not to be doubted that
the trip would have been successful.
Great disappointment is felt by thou
sands here who gathered to catch a
glimpse of the bird man.
The money offered for the aerial
voyage included $4,000 rendered by
the Havana Post and $4,000 appro-
priated by the Havana city council
McCurdy made his start from Key
West at 1882 o'clock under the most
favorable conditions after week of
nerve-trying wait.
1t is estimated that fully 10000 peo-
pie saw the start. McCurdy first cir
cled over the harbor at an elevation of
500 feet He made a second circle at
an elevation of over 1000 feet, and
then the flag dropped and the aviator
crossed the line over the wireless sta
ton, going at the rate of nearly sixty
miles an hour. In ten minutes he was
out of sight over Sand Key, ten miles
away.
