be done within four years. perhaps even sooner.
 But if democracy ever is to be triumphant she must present to the enemy an undivided front, and that Is what she did not do this year"
 Was the democratic platform to blame?" the governor was asked, Was it too radical ,or not radical enough? Did 1t embrace too much Did 1t scatter its fire too broadly, or was 1t all right and to your own per sonal Iiking?"
 The governor unused moment Then he said.
 Tt certainly was radical enough,
 "One more question, governor. Here are six or more states, most oi them in the great middle west, which in the face of large pluralities for Taft, elected or nearly elected demo- cratic governors. How do you ac- count for this state of affairs in the light of the national defeat?"
 National politics again. he said, "and l will not discuss them. But will say that in these states It was not altogether questions Of purely state issues that contributed to demo- cratic success.
 And your own victory-what of that?"
 "The figures tell the story" said Johnson. Some say 1t was John son victory; others say it was vic tory for the principles which have advnnafad in tha fOl1r years in which have been in office"
 q made IF speeches in the state during the campaign. talked prac- tical politics and talked so that the women could understand just what meant. It is a great thing in politics to have the women with you in any kind of fight, and the trouble in politics is that they have too long been completely ignored. They want to know the issues just as much as the men do, and, vote or no vote, they are entitled to know"

JOHNSON ON THE FUTURE.
What Minnesota's Governor Savs
 About the Democratic Party.

New York, Nov l3.---In special dispatch from St Paul the American yesterday printed an interview with Governor John A. Johnson, the demo- crat who carried Minnesota, although the state went for Taft. Discussing the democratic outlook the governor is quoted as saying:
 Speaking in the abstract, and with no attempt to confine myself to a discussion of issues. l say that am firmly of the belief that within the next four years the different elements in the democratic party will get to- gether so as to be able 10 act as a unit on the,question of party policy,
 Tt is not for me to say at this time whether l think that the tarin Is the paramount issue on which the next fight must be made, or whether 1t Is the trusts. or whether 1t is the guaranty of bank deposits
 As Governor Johnson mentioned the last two words smile that spoke more eloquently than words could have done fitted over his counte- nance. The guaranty of bank depos- its was a question that was seduous- ly avoided in the conduct of the democratic campaign in Minnesota this year.
 New issues may arise within the next four years" continued Governor Johnson, but without these new is- sues there are plenty upon which a fight can be made, and, in my hum ble opinion, victory can be won. Tt is going to take some little time for the party as a whole to re- habilitate itself, find itself, as 1t were. As l said before, there are the sore spots to be rubbed out; there are different clements to be recon ciled, and I think that all this will

HOW RATS MOVE EGGS.
Taking Gil from Q Bottle-Getting Figs
from Table

Strange as the story may appear of
rats removing hens eggs from the bot
tom to the top of house by one fellow
lying on his back and grasping tightly
his ovoid burden with his forepaws,
while his comrades drag him away by
the tail, / have no reason to disbeIieve
it. l have seen two brown rats ac-
complish the feat from stair to stair in
a farm house in Banffshire, the first anx-
ious rodent pushing the egg up on it's
hind leg, and the second assistant lift
ing it up with its forelegs. 1t was the
best athletic feat ever witnessed, but
it is not out of the common.
The rat will extract the cotton from
a flask of Florence oil, dipping in his
long tail, and repeating the maneuver
until he has consumed all that can be
reached.
1 have found Jumps of sugar in a deep
drawer at a distance of thirty feet from
the place where the petty larceny was
committed, and a friend once saw a rat
mount table on which a drum of figs
was fixed and straightway tip it over,

low, where score of his expectant
brethren sat watching for the wind
