For fifteen years he had controlled the
vote in the strongest Republican ward of
Chaska, and, without being told, he felt
convinced that he knew several of the
things that the daily papers of the big
cities only hint about. He was more than
seven, and the news butcher on the train
running into st. Paul lost a sale by lead
ing off with an offer of the Popular Guide
Book of the Sanity City.
At the union station, an honest looking
transfer man offered to deliver his lug
gage to any hotel in the city; but the
transfer man was brushed aside, and the
sage of Chaska butted through the swing
ing doors and out into the chilly night.
And he knew where he was going at
that. He intended to hire room for the
night at an hotel, and he didn't care a
darn about the expense, either. Up Slb-
ley he toiled and into Fourth street. The
policeman at Jackson street reported to

of the great issues than they knew four
years before. they would be fit subjects
for an asylum for imbeciles. There is
no progress without thought and without
discussion. New light is thrown upon old
subjects, and new subjects are made
plain thereby.
1t is now the time for the thinkers Of
the Democratic party to do their best
work FOR the party of their adoption.
The past has been disastrous. If the fu-
ture is to be less 50, there must be in
some manner new thought interested In
the cause Of Democracy. The course of
events must be watched closely. The
most profound sociological, political and
economic questions must be studied by
men capable of bringing to them minds
trained to grasp worldwide movements.
, And the beginning of wisdom is the
realization Of the fact that ultimate
knowledge is not vouchsafed to mortal
man. Unless a party is more Intelligent
this year than last it has no business to
exist. If it has been stagnant, station
airy, dormant, for twelve months, what
hope is there for its future?
The Kansas City platform stands as the
official declaration of Democracy until
another national convention has met.
But nowhere is it written in the Kansas
City platform, nor in the other declara-
tons of the party, that Democrats must
not exercise their minds and their hearts
for the strengthening of the party in the
next election.

Love and students of Shakespeare
who were! present at the Aberdeen last
night enjoyed san Intelligent reading OF
some of the more dramatic portions OF
the masters great tragedy Hamlet"
The readings were given by Mr.. Ben

spent in st. Paul, and who, therefore,
may be claimed as a ST. Paul product.

for, although he enacted the role of the
other characters as they came into the
various scenes, yet his work betrayed
that his study shas been devoted more
particularly to the portrayal of Shakes
peare's greatest male creation. Unassist-
ed by stage trappings, appropriate cos
tune and the thousand and one effects
that aid an actor behind the footlights,
Mr. Johnson was yet wonderfully sue
cessful last night in creating the neces-s
sary atmosphere as setting for his
scenes.
Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Sothern's Ham
let are remarkably alike Both make
the prince a lovable character. Both pre-

between Hamlet and his mother where
the murder of Polonius occurs. His
readings of those two scenes revealed a

Washington. Dec. 16.-The Maryland
friends in Congress of Rear Admiral

his case to the attention of Congress
and seek there the vindication they
claim is due him. This action was de-
termined upon tonight at dinner

Maryland members of the House and
a few other friends. A resolution will

Mr.. league said that a vigorous bill
of exceptions to the conclusions of the
court will be filed with the Secretary of
