Friends of Governor John A. .lotin
bou of Minnesota have issued a letter
und a pamphlet that together consti
tute an address to the Democrats of
the country. Both make a strong ap
peal to Democrats everywhere to ex
ert themselves to see that the Denver
convention shall be a deliliera'te body
that will look the field over and choose
a candidate who, while representing
modem Democracy, can win at the
polls.
The letter, which Is signed by Fred
erick B. Lynch, treasurer of the Min
nesota Democratic stato central com
mittee. who bus opened offices In the
Grand Pueltlc hotel, Chicago, 1b ns fol
low*: .
Dear Sir—You are a Democrat, and It
Is beennse you are a Democrat that
this Is addressed to you, with the feel
ing that you will exert yourself to give
the party oue of the greatest essentials
to victory—a strong and acceptable cuu
dulate for the presidency.
The Democracy of the nation huve
for twelve year* been losing ground,
and the belief Is general that under
the old conditions defeat Is certain.
For months the party has been drift
lug toward an autocratic convention,
where popular choice Is to b£ kubor

carry more states than any other liv
ing Democrat and who would be prac
tically certalu of electlou. Bebelllug
against tbe doctrine of despair, we take
It for granted that there la no necessity
for the ravens of defeat to perch oa
the tanners of Democracy In 1908 elm
ply because they did In 1800, 1900 and
IM.
Conditions industrially, financially
and politically are such that we have
this year tbe opportunity of a genera
tion to win the presidency.
If you'and the other Democratic lead
era of the eouutry will but respond to
tbe Invitation and the opportunity ex-
tended to you by the Democrats of
Minnesota we can escape from the
blighting tradition of defeat and reha
bilitate tbe party and the nation by a
great political victory next November.
There Is still ample time to see that
enough delegates are elected to the
Denver convention to make that a de
liberative Democratic body that will
give the party new hope and new In
spiration and a winning candidate. To
tills end we solicit your co-oi>eratlon
and will heartily welcome and consider
any suggestions you may offer.
Let Us Try to Win.
Is It not the duty of every loyal
Democrat desiring bis party’s suc
cess. If It can be bad without the
sacrifice of principle, to take Ju
dicious and comprehensive thought
of the situation and exert bhnself
to see that the delegates to the na
tional convention at Denver July 7
shall go there unfettered by the dead
hand of the past and prepared to con
sider calmly the political outlook aud
the chances of Democratic success and
then with cool aud careful Judgment
select a nominee who can win?
Tills Is a Democratic year If tbe
Democrats of the nation will but make
It so.
Why postpone all hope of success
and the lieglmiiug of the restoration of
Democratic control for another four
years?
Did Away With Passes.
In one of his messages Governor
Johnson said: "If the public officers
are not adequately compensated now
for their services, fix the compensation
to such an extent as to make It reason
able compensation and do away with
the possibility of any officer becoming
a beneficiary of the favor of corpora
tions and by reason of gratuities being
placed under some obligation to the
corporation which extends the courtesy.
* * * And urge most earnestly the early
enactment of u law which will forever
abolish the system lu Minnesota.” And
It was done. ,

The stranger bad been searching
nearly half an hour among tbe mys
terious curving ways of the park for
Fenway street. At last the'trim figure
of a hurrying student attracted her
eye, and she resolved to ask for the
necessary Information.
“Can you tell me. please, where Fen
way street Is?” she asked.
“Yes, Indeed.” answered the student.
“Why, we’re lu it now."
“Yes?” The stranger looked rather
helplessly around at the wealth of
shrubbery, the smooth roads that
seemed to lend only to Mrs. Gardner’s
green roofed palace. “But I wanted
to find a certain number on Fenway
street.”
“Ob!” said the student, a helpless ex
presslon for a moment clouding her
face.
“Do you know, there’s n street down
there.” She pointed a daintily gloved
hand straight into a clump of elms.
“I don’t know the name of It. 1 never
did know that it had a name. Why
don’t you try' that one?"—Boston Her

fitul Byways” the author, u naval offi
cer, tells this expansive story. YVe
vouch for the story only, not for the
facts:
While traversing this attractive coun
try, which offers so much to tempt the
husbandman, we met with no sign of
life until nearing a village, where
could !>e seen native iiuuters after deer
and carabuo. The caralwo furnishes a
fine quality of meat and has a peculiar.
Instinctive trait In being the only deni
zen of the forest that can protect it
self against the boa constrictors, which
are somewhat numerous in these parts
YVhon the carabao Is pounced upon by
the boa and the reptile has wrapped
Itself round the l>ody for the squeezing
process of killing the animal, the cara
bao slowly draws In its sides until
the boa has his grip fixed securely and
taglus to tlghteu up. when suddeuly
the carabao Inflates his lungs to their
fullest ami spreads h!s sides, tearing
the vertebrae of the reptile Into u thou
sand pieces.
How Tsa Lad Is Made.
Tea lead for lining tea chests Is su
iwrlor at least from the standpoint of
cheapness to uny other metal. Accord
ing to an article In the Brass World,
the method practiced by the Chinese In
the manufacture of tea lead is to press
molten lead between two Cat stones.
The excess of lend Is melted in hu Iron
kettle by u direct fire underueath. Rice
paper Is carefully smoothed down over
the surface of the stones to supply a
noucouductor of heat and thus pre
vent the chilling of the lead. The
stoues are now placet! flat upon the
ground and the upper one raised a
short distance, with one edge resting
upon the lower stone. In other words,
the stones are opened like a book. A
ladle full of melted lead Is now poured
In between the stones, and the top one
Is quickly dropped. The lead Is squeez
ed out until only a thin layer Is left
Tea lead usually runs from .005 to .10
loch In thickness.
