Once within St. Peter's, howerer, conflicting memories fall away, lost, as is all sense of minor faults In the balhtiag Itself, in the impression of vasiaees, of an all-enfolding and allreconciling hospitality. That hospitality Is taxed by the crowds which sather for the services of Holy Week. Palm Sunday initiates the series of elaborate ceremonies with its beautiful rite of blessing the palms. A motley throng it is which streams up the wide steps asd gathers about the altar above which glows in a golden halo the holy dove. There are the foreign sight-seers, of course, made evident by their camp-stools and rod guidobooks, but there arc also soldiers tn picturesque variety of uniform, priests wearing their black draperies in the ri&sslc folds which recall the toga. shepherds from the Campagna, beard ed and wfM-eyed in their sheepskins; pilgrims from far countries with the fixed visionary gaze of those who look on their sacred places after long desire. Sacred Indeed is the spot to those who hold the faith of Rome. In front of the high altar with Its baldacchino the twisted bronze columns towering up superbly, yet dwarfed by the firmament of the dome above burn the golden, never-dying lamps which mark the resting place, so tradition says, of the apostle. But on Palm Sunday the attention is fixed on the altar la the Cappella Glulla. and the pressure of the eager people Increases cruHly as the baskets of palms are set down by the 15u (Tlintirs

altar stairs and the canons slowly move to their places. The priests are in violet, the Lenten color. The deep hue brightened by wonderful Interweaving of gold and silver, and the crucifix on the altar Is also violetveiled. Thoro is no organ music, and the doep notes of the chanting swell with a strange solemnity through the echoing vaults. At last the solemn final word and gesture of blessing have been given, and one by one tho priests lift and bear away tho palm branches. Then the olive, which Is given In their stead to the people, is brought forward In great sheaves, and a priest In gold-embroidered violet robe holds out tho silvery branches to the hands which reach and clutch for them, till all the nearest of the throng have recolved their portion and pass on twigs to those behind. Peace and blessing

Is that olive to bring to those who reverenly receive the gleaming leaves. The distribution completed, the cardinal and canons with their attendant train move in stately procession down the church, out Into the portico, and so back to the altar. They bear aloft, with the tall tapers and the shrouded crucifix, the colden nalm branches; not slmnle boughs such as were cast before Christ by the people of Jerusa lem. These are fantastically dipped and twisted till they look more like furled standards, a significant touch In that church which Is so ready to turn tho martyr symbol Into tho conquering banner.

CALL FOB JOHNSON

LOGICAL STANDARD BEARER OF THE DEMOCRACY. APPEALS TO THE VOTERS. n His Name and with the Great Cause Victory Is Assured to the Party of the PeopleWhy Court Defeat? Friends of Governor John A. John son of Minnesota have issued a letter and a pamphlet that together consti tute an address to the Democrats of the country, Both make a strong appeal to Democrats everywhere to ex ert themselves to see that the Denver convention snaii be a deliberate body that will look the field over and choose a candidate who, while representing modern Democracy, can win at tho polls. , The letter, which Is signed by Fred erick B. Lynch, treasurer of tho Min nesota Democratic State Central Committee, who has opened offices In the Grand Pacific hotel, Chicago, Is as folowa: Dear Sir: You are a Domocrat, and It is because you are a Domocrat that this Is addressed to you, with tho feeling that you will exert yourself to give the party one of the greatest essentials to victory, a strong and acceptable candidate for tho presidency. The Democracy of the nation have for 12 years boon losing ground and the belief Is general that under the old conditions defeat Is certain. For months the party has been drifting toward an autocratic convention, where popular choice is to bo subordinate to personal will. Minnesota Democrats, feeling that party duty transcends individual Interest, have had the courage to break awa from the drift and offer GOV. JOHN A. JOHNSON. the party a candidate who. if nomi nated, can carry more states than any other livinc Domocrat. and who would bo practically certain of election. Re belling against the doctrine of despair. wo take It for granted that there is no necessity for tho ravens of defeat to perch on the banners of Democ racy In 190S. simply because they did In 1S9G. 1900 and 1904. Conditions industrially, financially and politically aro such that we have this year the opportunity of a genera tion to win the presidency. If vou and the other Democratic leaders of the country will but resnond to the Invitation and the oppor tunity extended to you by the Demo crats of Minnesota, we can escape from the blighting tradition of defeat, and rehabilitate the party and tho na tion by a great political victory next November. There Is still ample time to sec that enough delegates are elected to the Denver convention to make that a deliberative Democratic body that will jive the party new hope and new Inspi ration and a winning candidate. To this end. we solicit your co-operation and will heartily welcome and con sider any suggestions you may offer Let Us Try to Win. In view of the foregoing, Is It not tho duty of every loyal Democrat doBlrine his party's success, If It can be had without the sacrifice of principle. to take Judicious and comprehensive thought of the situation and exert himself to see that the delegates to the national convention at Denver, July 7, shall go there unfettered by the dead hand of the past and prepared to consider calmly tho political outlook and the chances of Democratic sue cess, and then with cool and careful Judgment select a nominee who can win? This is a Democratic year. If the Democrats of the nation will but make It so. Why nostnono all hopo of success nnd the beginning of tho restoration of Democratic control for another four ari"

MAN THE NATION REQUIRES.

John A. Johnson the ideal Occupant of the Presidential Chair. As president, Gov. Johnson would have the qualities that might described as logically and historically needful at this time, representing both In thought and by concrete achievement all of the progressive reforms to which tho American people aro now thoroughly committed. His personality and his methods arc such that, coming Into olllce after the strenuous and oven torrlfylng political and financial ex periences of recent years, ho would be prepared to hold all that has been gained, restore an era of good feeling and smoothly and comfortably prepare the way for such additional advanced legislation as the times require. In a word, Gov. Johnson is precisely tho kind of a leader the nation requires at this time, ready for now legislation to meet new needs, but careful and con servative in his methods. Tho same confldence-insnirinR. vote-getting at tributes that have made Gov. John son so popular in Minnesota that there Is absolutely no question that he could carry the state as the Demo cratic presidential nominee will make him equally popular with the voters of the nation, once they have an op portunity to become acquainted with the man. Morally and politically right, physically tall and strong, young and active, he Is tuoroughly equipped for the labors of a political campaign and tho duties of the great office of presi dent. It Is certain that he can carry every southern 'state. He can carry his own state, and if any Democrat can do so, New York. Now Jersey and all the border states, and he can make debatable territory of at least six other states. Every political campaign has Its In dividual conditions. It is found In this contest that Gov. Johnson possesses a strength peculiar to him alone and by which he Is certain to bring to the Democratic party upwards of a million votes In the middle west that have hitherto been Republican. This condi tion insures beyond a reasonable doubt victory for Democracy and Gov. Johnson in the following states: Min nesota. North and South Dakota, Illi nois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Ne braska, Colorado. Montana, Washing ton and Michigan. PLATFORM BROAD AND STRONG. Declarations of Gov. Johnson All Dem ocrats Will Indorse. "The Man from Minnesota" be lieves In the "immediate revision of the tariff, to tho end that articles now controlled In America by Illegal and Immoral combinations may be deprived of their tariff power to rob the com munity." Ho believes that tariff re vision Is one of the most Important works for the correction of the abuses that are plaguing the country. He believes that the maintenance of governmont by the people involves the least Interference by federal power with the domestic affairs of the states consistent with efficient national ad ministration. He believes In the constitution. "For a president," he says, "to go outsido the constitution, even to accomplish a beneficent purpose. Is to enter tho road that loads to the destruction of republics." Ho Is opposed to the governmont ownership of railways, by state or na tion, but, as his acts show. Is a strong bollever in just and rigorous regula tion. Ho is opposed to over-sea expansion. He favors "the peaceful consolida tion of the continent from Panama to the Arctic circle." He is opposed to great military es' tabllshments, but believes that tho size of the American navy must neces sarily be determined to some extent by the naval activities of other coun tries. He is opposed to ship subsidies. "You can't kill combinations," he says. . . . "but when they come In to crush the business of individuals they must be opposed as evils." He believes In an income tax. He believes in the just and equal enforcement of law, and that the observance of the law Is an Incumbent upon the rich and powerful as upon the poor and weak. Did Away with Pastes. In one of his messages, Gov. John son 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 renson of gratuities being placed under somo obligation to the corporation which extends the courtesy. . . . And urge most earnestly the early enactment of a law which will forever abolish the system in Minnesota." And it was done. Old Wall Brought to Light. During the recent demolition of some old cottages at Norwich, Nor folk, England, a long section of the old city wall, comprising a score of Nor man arches, was revealed. The wall i was built In the fourteenth century. for private circulation. Later Issues will be for newspaper offices, libraries and other Institutions. Lots of Paper on Long Hand. There aro on Long Island, outside of Rrooklyn, about 70 weekly papers and five dallies, ono in Long Island City, two at Flushing and two at Jamaica. All are .profitable and the men who edit them aro citizens of consequence. Tho doan of the Long Island field Is Walter IL Burling, editor of the Center Moriches Record, now in his seventy-
