WHAT WILL THE MARTIAHs THINK?

The really disturbing thing about this busls,
ness of establishing communication with the
planet Mars is that we know positively that the
Martians are not like ''heathen" Chinese or
even the poor benighted Hindus. The people
of Mars are enlightened and if we take the
scientists word for it are far superior to us III
every way. For example, it is thought that
tEey are capable of such advancement in cleo
trical science as of being able to communicate
with us by wireless. But we are far behind
them in our ability to reply Scientists say also
that the people of Mars have advanced in other
sciences That they have conquered diseases
That they have long since solved the problems
which bring us industrial strife. That they
have overcome poverty and are too wise to en-
gage in wars.
They have the marvellous canals which denote
the work Of prodigiously ingenious people. II
they have built such canals it means that such
trfles as wars, pestilences and greed have long
since been put aside, just as we put aside many
of our selfish pursuits when united to fight the
Germans. The Martians concerned thus with
common enemies only, are one and themselves
in their interests Being a smaller planet than
ours and harder planet in which to find nv
ing they have denied themselves the JOY OF
fighting and pickering and by common consent
bask in the somewhat meager gifts which Ma
ture allots to them.
What then will they think of us when we
have to break the news to them OF our own pitt
able state of civilization Maybe they will
send us missionaries.

THE RED RACE THRIVES.

Indians increasing III this country. The
latest figures OF the Indian bureau give total
redskin population OF nearly three hundred and
thirty-tou thousand for 1918 and show for the
years 1917 and 1916, which were normal because

lie thought of as dying out.
It has always been a question just how many
Indians there were on this continent at the time
of Columbus, and later of the pilgrims. Popu-
lar imagination his filled the forests with red
men. Writers from Cooper down to the dime
novelists have kept alive the tradition. But
students who take into account climate, food
conditions and other circumstances, believe that

population approSimating three hundred and

twenty thousand in the last fifty years contro-

BAD CHICKENS COMING HOME.

ST. Louis Globe-Democrat: 1t is al.
together probable that the outcry
which has led to federal action in
the case Of Jack Dempsey would not
have been raised had not Dempsey,
during the war, exhibited qualities
marking him as man lacking in
patriotic feeling. The GIobe-Democrat
was first to condemn both Dempsey
and Willard for their prolonged ne
gotiations for fight while the war
of thousands of young Americans
we're in military service. 1t voiced
at that time public opinion which
grew strong enough to compel a
breaking off of the negotiations. The
public mind has not recovered from
It's disgust, inspired at that time.
The feeling has survived the winning
of the title from Willard by Dempsey
in battle fought at Toledo since the
war ended Whether or not Demp.
sey did take measures to evade the
draft, and to escape doing his duty,
and whether or not he had depend
ents to constitute valid exemption.
the public mind is probably fixed in
a conclusion that a young, vigorous
man. remaining at home to negotiate
a prize fight while the war was in
progress, would have been capable Of
lodging the draft.
The condemnation Of Dempsey Is
not in the fact of his remaining at
home. No doubt thousands of young
men with dependents remained at
home unwillingly. Dempsey's con-
domination is found in tho fact that
while remaining at home he was
negotiating prize fight promising
to yield him fortune. II the public
mind could even suspect him OF
cowardice it could be more charitable
than it is toward one it thinks it has
right to suspect of having been a
Stacker for "big money" The situa'
ton is one eloquent of the great evil
of the fortunes now hung up by fistic
promters of worlds championship
fights. Jack Dempsey, a husky young;
ster with a red liver, would not be
in his present plight had the prizes
of the prize ring remained what they
were when men fought for glory and
not for cash.

Heaven from all creatures hides the book of fate,
All but the page prescribed. their present state;
From hrutes what men, from what spirits know;
Or who could suffer being here below?

Had he thy reason, would he skip and play?
Pleased to the last. he crops the flowery food,
And ticks the hand just raised to shed his blood

That each may fill the circle marked by Heaven
Who with equal eye, God of all,
A hero perish a sparrow fall;
Atoms systems into ruin hurled,
And bubble burst, and world.

Whit the great teacher. Death. and God adore
What future bliss he gives not thee to know,
But gives that hope to be thy blessing
Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
