St. Paul Mimi, ~.
Mr.. Editor:
Since the Quarto-C Centennial Cele-
bration of last September, commem-
Grating the twenty-fifth anniversary
of the birth of THE APPEAL, was such
an unprecedented success, from every
point of view; and, is remembered,
with pleasure, by every one who had
the good fortune to be present on
that, never-to-be-forgotten, occas-
sion, it has occurred to me that an
other such an affair would be hailed
with delight by all who We're pres
ent, as we'll as by those who, for
some reason or another, we're de-
prived of that blessed privilege; and
who would not miss the opportunity
if it was again offered to them.
l also recall the fact that the
twenty-fifth anniversary, of your as
sociation with THE APPEAL occurs
this year; and / feel that this is an
event as worthy of being celebrated
as the birth of the paper; if not
more so. For, it undoubtedly is ow-
ing entirely to your managerial abil-
ity and indefatigable labors that
THE APPEAL has been enabled to
withstand the storms that have
wrecked many like ventures upon the
rocks of adversely. And it does
seem to me that it will be very
fitting and proper for the people of
!, the Twin Cities to show a just recog-
milton of the herculean task you
have accomplished in maintaining an
organ in their interest for a quarter
of century, by rendering you a
testimonial on the ,twenty-fifth an
niversary of your connection with
the paper, or, on such other date that
in your judgment is. more convent
ent or suitable. l would therefore
suggest, if it meets your approval
as know it will, the patrons of THE
APPEAL and your friends generally
that you proceed to carry out that
idea along the lines employed in
the Quarto-Centennials Celebration of
THE APPEAL last year.
have no especial suggestions to
make, as the success of last years
affair, as well as many other social
functions that have been under your
! control testify to your exceptionable
| ability to manage them to queens
taste therefore, l feel sure you
would carry this to successful is
| sue, if left to follow the bent OF
!. your own inclination.
| 1 am satisfied that I voice the
| sentiments of the people of Mime
i apolis.
Respectfully yours,

Requesting the Celebration of tn,
Twenty-fifth Anniversary of J. @.
Adams Editorship of the Appeal.
st. Paul, Mimi, April "a, 1911
Mr.. J. @. Adams,
City
My Dear Mr.. Adams:
AS had the honor, if such it may
be denominated, of being the first
editor of THE APPEAL, :: then know1
as the Western Appeal" 1 have
watched it's course with, perhaps,
more interest than that generally
evinced by others. Having been SO
closely connected with it's early
history, and knowing something OF
the hardships that surrounded it
then, and doubtless do still, 1 can
more fully appreciate the efforts you
have put forth in maintaining it and
conducting it on the high plane upon
which it has always stood, than can
those who are not familiar with the
business side of it,
Since the advent of THE APPEAL
there have been number of publica-
tions started in this state under vari-
Gus auspices that passed from the
field of action after brief and itful
existence, but THE APPEAL is still
doing business at the old stand.
Now, Mr.. Editor, as the paper has
been in existence since June 1885,
and you became associated with it in
1886, this year is the twenty-fifth
year OF your. connection with it as
editor and manager. 1 believe
that this fact should. entitle you to
some special consideration at the
hands OF the people whom you have
served SO long and well.
Last year, through your efforts,
the twenty-ffth anniversary of the
birth of the paper was celebrated
in most fitting manner, and the
entertainment and souvenir edition
in connection with that occasion have
never been equaled in Minnesota
nor elsewhere, for that matter.
Since it was your able manage
ment that maintained the paper,
some honor and credit is due you;
and, I am one who delights "sto do
honor unto those to whom honor is
DUE And believe the people of
st. Paul, and throughout the state,
will be glad to join in celebrating
your twenty-fifth anniversary as edit
or of THE APPEAL. a.
Your able management of the
Quarter-Centennial Celebration of
THE APPEAL last year, was. seen and
recognized by every one who was
present; and, if you, yourself, will
take charge of the matter as you did
then, I am confident that the public
will feel satisfied that everything
that can be done will be done to
make the occasion a grand success,
and that with me the people will
willingly say: Gust you go ahead
and we'll hold your coat
Very truly yours,
F. D. Parker.

Miss Widifred Mears, a California
girl, well known In San Francisco and
Washington society, Is the originator
of the idea to have the battleship Ore
gon, known the world over 10 the
bulldog" Of the navy, lead the com
bined fleet of the nations through the
Panama canal on its completion in
1915
Congressman Foss, chairman of the
house committee ON naval affairs, has
publicly and officially approved her
plan. Miss Mears has sent petitions
all over the United States in behalf of
the Oregon, and these are being sign
ed by leading officials and professional
and business men of the country and
are being forwarded to Washington.
Some time ago the secretary of the
navy stated that If the people desired
this honor for the Oregon he would
have no objection to it. The Oregon
was placed In commission recently
after having been out OF commission
five years. 1t is understood that the
placing OF the great ship of wal in
commission was due to the efforts of
Congressman Kahn of California.
In her petition Miss Mears states:
"Other sea fighters may be of more
ponderous proportions; others may
loom with more impressive outline on
human vision; others may have q
longer roll call n their complement OF
man and an armament of weightier
and more numerous guns. But OF all
the ships that ever sailed the sea. Of

tory has a record as sailer or fighter
that equals that OF the good ship Ore

"FVethsr. wcuE SO emphasize the
completion Of the Panama canal els the
o. s. s. Oregon leading the navies OF
the world IN this occasion, as she
would symbolic at once the militancy
of the United States IN naval creation
and her skill In canal building"

The Antiquity of Mar.

him to be im~measnrably older and
to have lived with the f~orerunners Of

Britain while the British Islands were
still a peninsula, and the Thames was
