Mako q Demonstration ON tho
Fourth Of July.

r. Hearst, president Of the National
Association of Democratic clubs, had
4 formal conference with the principal
democratic leaders in Washington ut
the Metropolitan hotel yesterday re-
garding the plan of campaign to he
followed in the approaching presi.
Dental struggle. At the close of the

the following to the democratic clubs
and societies Of the United States:
Recent events in the history of the
United States point to the approach
ing anniversary of the birthday OF
the nation as the day that should be
celebrated with special favor this
year. There are those in the nation
who seek to create the impression
that the American people have out
grown their love for the just prin-
ciplcs of government expressed In
the declaration of independence and
are ready to surrender their moral
leadership among nations in order to
crafty ncwly-born instinct for inn
pcrial power, founded on colonial
system. All the democratic clubs and
societies are earnestly requested to
assemble on the 18th of July, and all
patriotic citizens, regardless of past
party affiliations, are urged to join
with them in n new pledge Of fidelity
to the republic as the fathers made
1t. Let the people OF the United
States unite in their various cities,
towns and villages in demonstration
of the confidence they feel in the form
Of government under which the na-
ton has grown to it's present great
ness. The danger which threatens
the country Is real and imminent. 1t
seems appropriate, therefore. that cit
liens who believe that the declaration
document should meet together on
this day and give voice TO the nation
al sentiment that all men are created
free and equal and that there must
be no subject colonies under the
American flag"

In Paris there lives m eminent
painter who Is economical and SEN
tentious. The other day one OF the
students broke u pane OF glass in
the studio window and replaced 1t
temporarily by FASTING sheet OF pa

painter came down next morning he
thrust his cane through the make-shift

pays" None Of the class, however,
took the hint, and next morning an
other sheet of paper was pasted across
the window. 1t met with the same
fate. And SO on the next day and the
fourth. On the fifth day, when the
artist came down, there was the pa

eyes, and roaring, "Ie that breaks

an article offering some good advice
20 the boys who are about TO finish
their schooldays. He says that in
choosing q career no boy should be
misled by the cry that the professions
and higher walks of life are over
crowded. He says 1t Is a melancholy
but indisputable fact that the lower
walks OF industry are UNNECESSARILY
more ovcrcrowded. The best thing
for the young man TO do is TO decide
that the world is more or less over
