The new emperor Of Japan, the
Mikado Yoshihito, faces gigantic
task as he steps into the place made
vacant by his remarkable father. the
Emperor Mutsuhito. who died recently
after a prolonged Illness.
Yoshihito is the third son of the de-
ceased ruler and was proclaimed
crown prince In 1888. He Is a man of
strong character and enviable attain
ments in war and statecraft He is an
officer in the army and in the navy
and has seen severe service. in both
branches. He was married in 1900
and has three children. With all the
advantages OF modern education and
in full accord with the advanced ideas
of the late emperor, he should prove
a worthy successor to his father, who,
though an oriental, was one of the
truly great men of the age. He is the
one hundred and twenty-second ruler
Of Japan in his line, which. according
TO Japanese legend, is descended from
the gods.

The odd superstition that he

who, by custom of the party, is
entitled to the second nomiha-
ton. But Col. Roosevelt is bent
on defeating him. He may sue
ceed in doing that, but he will
not capture the nomination this
time.
It is claimed by some that Col.
Roosevelt is not so much for his
own election as he is for the de-
feat of Taft. That view of the
case makes him a spiteful and
vindictive man. We think Roo
sevelt wants the office himself
and seeks the defeat of his rival
for the purpose of getting in him
self. This makes him out a sell
fish man, to be sure; but how
can we help thinking him so?
The old man of the sea was fl
hally shaken off and Sinbad en-
joyed his freedom. The Repub-
lican party is not going to keep
any man astride it's neck always.
The shaking off is sure to come,
sooner or later, and the sooner
the better.
Col. Roosevelt will not always
poster the Republican party.
Probably enough the present run
for the presidency will end his
political career. A good defeat
this time would be a blessing to
him and the Republican party,
too.
